‘Big Sky’ opens for ABC with premiere of serialized myster y
Television-producing veteran David E. Kelley has had successes in the worlds of cable and streaming, but he still has a soft spot for broadcast television.
Following “Big Little Lies,” “Mr. Mercedes” and HBO’s current “ The Undoing,” the “Ally McBeal,” “ The Practice” and “Picket Fences” alum is taking his latest project to ABC. Premiering Tuesday, Nov. 17, “Big Sky” adapts several related novels by C.J. Box by following the search for two sisters (played by Natalie Alyn Lind and Jade Pettyjohn) kidnapped from a Montana highway Among the many other characters is a detective (Ryan Phillippe) who crosses paths with his ex-cop ex-wife (Kather yn Winnick, “Vikings”) while working the case.
Also a writer of many “Big Sky” episodes, Kelley says that in adapting Box’s “ The Highway” into the show’s main premise, “ The biggest challenge for me was to be able
to deliver what the book did and that is the tension, the thrill, the drama and the relational equations of the characters, which were rich and profound at times. It was a great ride, a great journey. And I’m hoping that particularly given the times, when (viewers) throw on the television at the end of the day, we will be able to deliver that sense of fun, drama, and escapism to them.”
“Big Sky’s” ensemble cast also includes Kylie Bunbur y (“Pitch”), Brian Geraghty (“Chicago P.D.”), Dedee Pfeiffer, Jesse James Keitel, Valerie Mahaffey and John Carroll Lynch (“American Horror Stor y”). Co-star Winnick vows that with all of the characters, “You’ll see different layers of them as the series unfolds. The things that you least expect in a character end up shocking you, in a lot of different ways. ”
Playing a state trooper in “Big Sky,” Lynch has been a series star for Kelley before (“ The Brotherhood of Poland,
New Hampshire”), and he maintains that he’s been a fan ever since he visited friend Don Cheadle on the “Picket Fences” set. “Every single time I watch a David Kelley show, it is its own universe and it tackles its own question,” Lynch reasons. “ There’s always humor. There’s always heart. There’s always an essential sense of humanity about each and every single universe that’s created.”
While there’s never a guarantee that a serialized drama won’t be canceled before it can play out fully, Kelley has built a safeguard into “Big Sky.” He explains, “ The structure of this show is that we will do four- or five-episode arcs, so if someone could only watch the first half of the season, there will be closure on one stor yline. We kind of like that format as stor ytellers, because we cultivate and introduce an underlying stor y while we’re going full guns on our ‘A’ stor y. ”
Elena Besser of “Breakfast With Besser” on Food Network Kitchen
“Oh man. ‘Mar velous Mrs. Maisel,’ that show. Absolutely love it. ... You know, one of the things that I’ve really loved is I’ve loved watching ‘Pioneer Woman’ from home. I think that Ree (Drummond), I’ve seen this whole side of her and I’ve loved her show forever But being able to see a whole new side of her with her kids getting involved filming in the comfor t of own home has just brought a whole level of relatability to her and her and that has been such a joy to watch.
Annaleigh Ashford of “B Positive” on CBS
“I watch all the reality shows on Bravo. I could do trivia on ever y one of them.”
John Carroll Lynch stars in “Big Sky,“ premiering Tuesday on ABC.

Kristin Chenoweth takes up residence in ‘Candy Land’
With her knack for the high-spirited and the fanciful, Kristin Chenoweth has an ideal new television home in “Candy Land.”
The Tony- and Emmy-winning singing and acting dynamo helps bring the classic game to life by hosting a Food Network competition series premiering Sunday, Nov. 15. The colorful sets are completely edible as players vie for a $25,000 grand prize by using ingredients found in such areas as Chocolate Mountain, the Peppermint Forest and the Lollipop Woods to create confections and advance along the game board en route to King Kandy’s Castle. Nacho Aguirre and Aarti Sequeira are the judges who gauge their culinary efforts.
The ever-energetic Chenoweth says she’s amused to be on Food Network now, since she attests, “I avoid my kitchen! I just don’t go in there, so when they called me, I said, ‘I don’t know my lower oven from the upper one.’ And they said, ‘No, no, it’s ”Candy Land,“ We want you,’ And I thought, ‘Well, OK. This could be cool.’ And I started to see pictures of the sets, and it reminded me of Broadway And I thought, ‘I need to be there.’ ” Also enjoying her “fashion moment” with her hautecouture outfits for the show, Chenoweth cheerfully admits that since her “Candy Land” surroundings actually can be eaten, she’s fought to control her cravings. “There is a river of real chocolate,” she reports, “and what’s the first thing you want to do when you see that? You want to stick your finger in it. And since I’ve never done a reality competition before, I didn’t realize there were cameras everywhere. And the next thing I knew, it was in the show.”
Despite the quieter period brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, the strongly work-oriented

Even with all that activity, “Candy Land” in particular is giving Chenoweth professional and personal fun at a time when she especially welcomes it.
“I’m like everybody,” she reflects. “I have the days when I think, ‘Are we ever going to be ”normal“ again? And what will that look like?’ I had just started up my tour for ‘For the Girls’ (her female-artist tribute album) and then it got stopped (by the pandemic), so I was like a horse at the gate, ready to go. I think that when we come back, we’re going to be stronger and better.”

Movie: The Christmas Edition
Carly Hughes stars in this new holiday drama as upand-coming journalist Jackie, who receives what could be a life-changing opportunity as the yuletide approaches: a chance to run a small-town newspaper in Alaska. She jumps at the chance, relocating to the picture-perfect town and quickly rebuilding the paper’s subscriber base and profitability via a series of well-received Christmas stories. This happy situation is threatened when her former boss announces she plans to take over the paper for herself. Marie Osmond and Rob Mayes also star.

The Reagans
This four-part documentary series explores several of the previously unexamined aspects of the presidential administration of Ronald Reagan and what life was like inside the White House during those eight years. Given special emphasis is how Nancy Reagan’s widely held public image as a paper doll and a clotheshorse actually was dramatically at odds with the immense hidden power she wielded throughout husband “Ronnie’s” presidency.

Oscar winner Holly Hunter has a distinctive voice that worked to the advantage of the “Incredibles” movie fantasies, and it also does much for her animated character in the new episode “The McEntire Truth.” A funeral becomes the setting for some false claims that Betty (voice of Maya Rudolph) becomes determined to expose. Jon Hamm and Mary Steenburgen also are in the voice guest cast. Series regulars also include Kristen Wiig, Ike Barinholtz and Jillian Bell.

This new nature miniseries looks at the most complex and unique natural ecosystem in the world, a diverse assortment of ecological communities, habitats and species. Located off the coast of Queensland, Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system. In the premiere, “Nature’s Miracle,” marine biologist Monty Halls examines the complex structure of the reef itself. So vast that it is visible from space, the reef is actually built by tiny animals in partnership with microscopic plants. Two more episodes immediately follow.
