Nathan Fillion is killing it in The Rookie. Seven seasons in, the series is still as fresh and snappy as when it first began. Fans are addicted to the fast-paced series filled with a lovable and dynamic cast facing high-stakes drama. And if viewers are finding it harder and harder to wait for the next week’s episode in the period of binge-able content, fans can look to get their fix with another highly emotional, edge-of-your-seat crime drama that is now available for streaming: Flashpoint.

Flashpoint is a Canadian police procedural starring Amy Jo Johnson (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), David Paetkau (Final Destination 2), Jessica Steen (Heartland), and Enrico Colantoni (Just Shoot Me). Inspired by Toronto’s Emergency Task Force, the series follows the specialized police team, Strategic Response Unit, as it answers a series of high-risk emergencies and calls around an unnamed city. Each episode surrounds an emergency crisis...

Despite the proliferation of news stories about bathroom bills and pushes to use gender-inclusive pronouns in classrooms and workplaces, stories about gender expression and identity are still ones that Hollywood can struggle to get right.

It was only last year that Showtime’s “Billions” cast non-binary actor Asia Kate Dillon to play the first non-binary role on an American series, and the transgender community has had a mixed reaction to cis-gender male actor Jeffrey Tambor’s award-winning turn as a transitioning woman on Amazon’s “Transparent” the past four seasons. This season saw “Looking” alum Tanya Saracho’s new Starz family drama, “Vida.” Among its many queer-positive stances is the casting of non-binary talent Ser Anzoategui as Eddy, a woman mourning the loss of her wife while also struggling to have a relationship with her detached stepdaughters. While Anzoategui uses they/them pronouns, their character (at least in season one) is a cis-gender woman.

Eight images plus a new poster for He Never Died starring Henry Rollins (from Black Flag) were recently released, and we have them after the jump. Also in this round-up: details on a baby Hellboy figurine and the free (for 24 hours) Rise #2: Last Generation comic.

He Never Died: Set to be released in select theaters on December 18th, He Never Died was written and directed by Jason Krawczyk. He Never Died stars Henry Rollins, Booboo Stewart, Steven Ogg, Jordan Todosey, James Cade, Michael Cram, and Dan Petronijevic.

"Jack (Rollins) is in a rut. His existence has been whittled down to sleeping and watching TV and he sees the human race as little more than meat with a pulse. When Jack suddenly finds his long lost daughter taken by the city’s crime syndicate, he must combat his inner demons as he embarks on a bloody warpath to seek revenge and save her.

Seemingly unable to die, Jack (Henry Rollins) spends his immortal days playing bingo and consuming human blood. But Jack's routine is interrupted when his daughter is kidnapped, as teased in the official red band trailer for He Never Died. Along with the new trailer, the supernatural noir has also launched an Indiegogo campaign to help expand its upcoming theatrical release.

He Never Died is slated for a December 18th release in select theaters. Should the film achieve its $50,000 fundraising goal, it will reach a wider audience when its release date arrives.

Written and directed by Jason Krawczyk, He Never Died stars Henry Rollins, Booboo Stewart, Steven Ogg, Jordan Todosey, James Cade, Michael Cram, and Dan Petronijevic.

Jack’s in a rut. Depression and severe anti-social behavior has whittled down his existence to sleeping, playing bingo, and eating the same meal at the same time every day at the same diner. Seeing the human race as little more than meat with a pulse, Jack has no interest to bond with anyone. There’s little purpose for him to make friends with someone he’d eventually eat. However Jack’s world is turned upside down when a daughter he never new existed turns up on his door step and he becomes embroiled with a group of mobsters…

As a dedicated horror fan, and even moreso as someone who attends a ton of horror film festival and reviews a Lot of movies,...

While They Live star and famous wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper sadly passed away last month, fans will still have the chance to see him onscreen in the short film Portal To Hell!!!

The short, which now has a festival trailer, is directed by Viviendo Caldinelli, working from a screenplay by Matt Watts. Watts is also among Piper’s co-stars in the film, and the two are joined by Laura Robinson, Jordan Todosey, and Millie Davis.

The film’s synopsis is as follows.

The superintendent hero of this primo slice of Canuxploitation already has enough on his plate, but then some jerks open up a multidimensional gateway in the basement. Thankfully, the guy standing between humanity and its certain destruction is played by the late, great “Rowdy” Roddy Piper.

This is not the first time Piper has been involved in a fight against beings from another dimension, as the 2010 film The Portal,...

Whoa, hold up! They Live and Hell Comes to Frogtown may not be the defining moments in 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper's film career. Like many actors and performers who leave us too soon, the WWE legend still has a few more unreleased projects under his belt. And today, we have the first trailer for his final screen performance!

Vivieno Caldinelli's 11-minute short Portal to Hell!!! is heading to the Toronto International Film Festival. And while it is a horror short, it's getting a lot of attention for bringing a very interesting career to a close for Roddy Piper. The wrestling Superstar passed away last July, but he left this one gift behind, making it one of the most in demand shorts at Tiff this year.

Portal to Hell!!! follows the apartment-superintendent hero in what is loving referred to as a 'primo slice of Canuxploitation'. He has enough on his plate,...

Last month, the world sadly lost "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, a legendary figure on film and in the ring, and a true gentleman. One of the last projects Piper appeared in was Portal to Hell!!!, a short film in which a doorway to Lovecraftian creatures is opened. Portal to Hell!!! will premiere next month at Tiff, and now the short film's official trailer has been revealed.

In addition to his prolific career within the wrestling ring, many remember Piper from his terrific turns in a lengthy list of films, including John Carpenter's They Live and Hell Comes to Frogtown. Featuring Piper going up against Cthulhu-like monsters as a building super with a sense of humor, Portal to Hell!!! looks to remind viewers why they cherished Piper and will continue to admire his powerful onscreen presence.

Directed by Vivieno Caldinelli from a screenplay by Matt Watts, Portal to Hell!!! stars the late Roddy Piper,...

Many times, the ‘less is more’ approach to storytelling can really enhance a film and such is the case with Jason Krawczyk’s He Never Died- a minimalist look at the life of a cannibal who also has been bestowed with the gift of eternal life. Without bogging viewers down with too much exposition, Krawczyk allows his star Henry Rollins to do what he does best as an actor and give us a dryly comedic but equally compelling examination of how someone who has experienced such an extraordinary existence could ultimately tire of their own existence after a few millennia. The results are a powerfully simple and nuanced exploration of what it means to be human, all served up with a fun neo-noir, blood-soaked twist.

In He Never Died, we are introduced to Jack (Rollins), a simple man who wants nothing more out of life at this point than...

Jack (Henry Rollins) is something of a loner. He eats at the same diner every day, he plays Bingo at the same church every week and he meets the same immoral hospital intern every few days to buy… something. He has little need for anyone else but that begins to change when two women come into his life. Cara (Kate Greenhouse) is a waitress at the diner, and while Jack is a man of few words he’s still managed to hit it off with her to some small degree. Andrea’s (Jordan Todosey) face is brand new to him, but an angry phone call from an old fling he hasn’t heard from in roughly nineteen years informs him that the girl at his door is his daughter. His life suddenly grows busier and far more complicated, and the trend continues when he finds himself targeted by a series of low-level henchmen for reasons unknown. It...

There will always be movies that provide all the necessary answers, but there will also be others that revel in the muddied concept of ambiguity. Despite a culture of spoonfeeding and obvious storytelling, He Never Died dares to be a shapeless tale that could be interpreted many ways – a “Choose Your Own Adventure” of sorts. All we know is what’s given in the title, and that’s the only information writer/director Jason Krawczyk cares to offer for a majority of his drifter’s curious predicament. You’ve got your rugged loner main character, his couldn’t-care-less attitude, and the reality that he just can’t seem to die. Why can’t he die? In the words of Krawczyk’s hero (anti-hero), *shrugs, walks away.*

Henry Rollins plays a simple man named Jack, who expresses little interest in the thugs that show up at his door looking for a fight.

Alternate Ending Studios President and CEO Jason Krawczyk writes and directs this gritty SXSW Midnighters entry starring punk icon and raconteur Henry Rollins as a cannibal with a conscience. Produced by Zach Hagen and co-starring Steven Ogg, Kate Greenhouse, BooBoo Stewart and Jordan Todosey, "He Never Died" world-premieres at the festival on Tuesday, March 17. Here's the official synopsis, along with a clip: "Jack’s in a rut. Depression and severe anti-social behavior has whittled down his existence to sleeping and watching television. Seeing the human race as little more than meat with a pulse, Jack has no interest to bond with anyone.

Canada's long-running teen drama "Degrassi: The Next Generation" has tackled plenty of serious subjects over the years, and fans in the U.S. have taken notice. Now Chaz Bono, one of Hollywood's most visible Lgbt activists, has taken notice, and dropped by the show's Toronto set to film a cameo.

Bono, who documented his sex change in the documentary "Becoming Chaz," will play himself in scenes with the show's transgender character, Adam Torres (Jordan Todosey).

"I work with a transgender teen support group that is part of the organization Transforming Family," Bono tells People, "so when the opportunity to be part of a series that features a trans teen came up, I was thrilled."

The episode will air in the fall, but came about after Bono met the "Degrassi" team at the Emmys in 2011. People has deets on the role, which will feature Bono as a celebrity judge at a...

New cast tells MTV News which 'Degrassi' alums they look up to most.

The cast of "Degrassi"

"Degrassi" has become quite the starting-off point for some of the biggest stars on the planet. It launched this little-known rapper who goes by Drake and two of the CW's biggest stars, "Vampire Diaries" actress Nina Dobrev and "90210" star Shenae Grimes.

So, when several of the classic franchise's new class stopped by MTV News, we wondered just which alum's career path they'd love to follow.

"I'd love to do this, all the time. I just love to do acting," Munro Chambers told us just as the new season of the show was hitting TeenNick, before joking, "I'd love to be Nina. I'd love to do more stuff in this industry and keep doing it."

He added that while he hasn't met all those famous alums, when he has crossed paths...

Annie tells HollywoodLife.com she 'can't wait' for fans to see her new boo. But who's the lucky lady? Fiona may have gotten her life together in rehab, but Annie Clark assures HollywoodLife.com that she still has plenty of "girl drama" in the second half of Degrassi's 11th season. "She's going to be getting a new love interest," Annie told me during a recent sit-down at our NYC offices. "I can say it's a character that we've already met. So it's not going to be a new character coming in." Could Fiona be giving Adam (Jordan Todosey) another shot -- or perhaps catching the eye of a girl who didn't know she liked girls? Either way, Annie said the fans "are really going to like it." "I really enjoyed shooting it," Annie said of the mystery relationship. "I think it's the best relationship we've ever seen Fiona in. On the season finale,...

Spoiler Alert: Stop reading if you haven’t watched the Sept. 1 mid-season finale of ‘Degrassi!’ You’ve been warned…

Ok, first of all, how incredible was the Degrassi: Now or Never finale?! I was fortunate enough to be on set the day they filmed it, and I’m pretty sure my ears are still ringing from Vince’s (Brendan Jeffers) gunshot. I also got to hold the bullet that ultimately found its way into poor Adam (Jordan Todosey), before grilling the actress on what it’s like to play a transgender character — and where she’d like to see Adam go from here…

Munro, Aislinn & Justin weigh in on Cake V. Eclare Justin Kelly & Chloe Rose on their new characters Munro Chambers tells us what scares Eli in season 11

First order of business? Jordan wants to see Adam finally in a happy, stable relationship. (Maybe he’ll meet a cute nurse,...

Dear TV Addict, I know you’re on vacation, but as someone who has really been enjoying your increasingly informative ‘Ask the Addict’ columns as of late I was wondering if there was any chance you could post an abbreviated one this week? — Jeff

The TV Addict: Ask and ye shall receive! Thanks in no small part to our somewhat insatiable addiction to TV, coupled with the unexpected access to high speed internet available at the current undisclosed location we find ourselves staying in, we’re only too happy to oblige with a vacation shortened edition of ‘Ask the Addict’ in 3… 2… 1…

With the new season of Degrassi now less than two weeks away, I’m hoping you can provide some intel on what to expect. Have I mentioned I cannot wait for July 18th? — Hillary

The TV Addict: Think you’re excited for Degrassi’s July 18th premiere (9Pm on...

And, check out an exclusive clip of Fiona & Adam’s date from tonight’s episode!

Champagne-chugging, brother-kissing, sexuality-swapping Fiona (Annie J. Clark) is always full of surprises — but no one was more surprised than Holly J. (Charlotte Arnold) when Fiona kissed her at the end of last week’s Degrassi. On tonight’s episode, Annie tells HollywoodLife.com, we’ll see a whole lot of awkwardness between the two friends. Oh, and she also has some not-so-good news for fans of Fiona and Adam’s (Jordan Todosey) relationship.

“We’ll see in [tonight's] episode that Fiona meant that kiss to be more than just a friendly gesture,” Annie teases. “And Holly J. is not going to feel the same way.”

Fiona’s views on substance abuse and the opposite sex have done a total 180 since she debuted on Degrassi last fall. But Annie says she’s proud of how much Fiona...

As the man who finally made boyfriend Riley come to terms with his sexuality, Degrassi’s Zane is a breakout from typical gay stereotypes. Which is why Shannon Kook-Chun is the breakout star of the series, going from crush to beau into a character all his own. Before tonight’s dramatic Ziley episode, Ology talked with Shannon about the Degrassi experience, how he relates to Zane, and gives secrets on the new season.

(Also, check out our interview with Jordan Todosey! We'll also be talking to Munro Chambers, so stay tuned!)

It’s not easy being a new actress on one of the biggest teen dramas in television history. Even tougher when you’re the show’s first transgendered character- but the dual role of Adam and Gracie has opened viewers’ eyes, sparked discussion, and helped bring Degrassi's tenth season some of its biggest ratings yet. Jordan Todosey lets Ology inside her crazy world, and gives us a sneak peak at what's next.

Ology: Congratulations on the GLAAD nomination for Outstanding Drama Series! Do you feel like Lgbt teens are accurately represented on television?
