Q: Can you please tell me if there will be more episodes of “Sanctuary” starring Matthew Modine? I loved the first season of the series and the cliffhanger ending. – A.S.
A: I’ve always believed that if a season ends in a jaw-dropping cliffhanger, that must mean the producers of the show are pretty confident it will live to tell another tale. I really hope this theory holds true for “Sanctuary,” but so far nothing official has been announced by Sundance NOW. Check out its website (sundancenow.com) for updates, though, and fingers crossed you’ll get your wish.
For those who haven’t seen it, “Sanctuary,” which premiered last April, is a psychological thriller that asks: “What could be worse than being imprisoned in a locked-down clinic where nothing is as it seems and nobody believes you are who you say you are? Who would you become in order to survive?”

It stars Swedish actress Josefin Asplund (“Vikings,” “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”) as Helena “Hel” and Matthew Modine as “Dr. Fisher.” (Don’t confuse Sundance NOW’s “Sanctuary” with the SyFy channel series of the same name that ran from 2008-11).
You also can check out Modine in “Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal” on Netflix, where he plays Rick Singer, the guy who helped wealthy parents buy their kids’ way into prestigious colleges. It’s a documentary-style film with reenactments by actors such as Modine.
Q: Is “Outlander” coming back soon for another season? I just started reading the books, too. I love the show so much. – T.P.
A: Fortunately, I was able to find an official answer regarding this production, as the Starz network recently announced that “Outlander” is currently filming its sixth season and that a seventh season will definitely follow.
If you want to read ahead with the books on which the series is based, the sixth season will follow the plot of Diana Gabladon’s novel “A Breath of Snow and Ashes,” while the yet-to-be-filmed seventh installment will be based on her book “Echo in the Bone.” Expect new episodes of “Outlander” to begin airing on Starz in late 2021, if not sooner.
Q: Whatever happened to Catherine Bell, who starred on “JAG” years ago? – V.A.
A: It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 25 years since the hit military legal drama “JAG” premiered on NBC. It starred David James Elliott and Catherine Bell, and lasted for 10 seasons. The actors and their “JAG” characters reunited not long ago on “NCIS: Los Angeles.” We found out that the Mac and Harm unfortunately weren’t together living their happily ever after, but this little glimpse into their lives has fans speculating if “JAG” might be getting a reboot.
