What's On Tonight (Thursday): Now where am I going to get showbiz news from?

 

Courtesy TV With Thinus.

Tonight's Top Pick is E! News's last regular broadcast. The daily series, launched in 1991, took a few years off during COVID. Like Entertainment Tonight, Extra, and Access Hollywood, I'm not sure how or why it's lasted so long. Still, I'll always have memories of Jules & Steve in their glory days.


While I whip up a hearty pot of talk soup, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, Sept. 25. All times are Eastern.

"After reporting a fellow officer for assaulting a suspect, by-the-book police sergeant Grace (Anjli Mohindra) is 'reassigned' to an isolated island in this folk thriller created by Toby Whithouse (Being Human). But what begins as a punishment quickly turns into something far more sinister. A year after a teenage boy vanished without a trace, Grace reopens the cold case - only for his remains to surface in a place no one expected. As she digs deeper, the island's eerie past begins to unravel: whispers of a secretive religious sect founded by an enigmatic leader, strange rituals, and a string of unexplained deaths."
