Q: It seems like Patricia Arquette is always winning acting awards. I used to watch her on the TV show “Medium,” and I don’t recall her winning back then. – B.C.
A: Arquette just added another Golden Globe trophy to her collection with a Best Supporting Actress win for “The Act.” She won an Emmy for the same role last year. Like much of her recent work, “The Act,” which is available on Hulu, is based on a tragic true story.

Arquette won a Best Actress Golden Globe last year for playing a prison guard who fell in love with an inmate and helped him become a fugitive in “Escape at Dannemora.” She did indeed win an Emmy for her hit show “Medium,” which was based on real-life psychic Allison Dubois. Arquette also was awarded an Oscar for supporting actress for the movie “Boyhood,” which was filmed over a 12-year period.
Arquette can always be counted on for a lengthy speech in which she hopes to raise awareness and spark activism. At this year’s Golden Globes, she talked about the devastating fires in Australia.
Q: Is it true there is going to be another Superman series? If so, who will play the lead role? – P.I.
A: Between Marvel, DC Comics and Star Wars, I don’t think we’ll ever run out of genre TV shows. “Superman & Lois” is next on the assembly line. It’s a spinoff of “Supergirl” and will be brought to you by the executive producer of “The Flash.” However, it’s uncertain at this time if it will be a multi-episode series, as it’s being billed as a “stand-alone pilot” on the CW network. Perhaps if it does well, it’ll get the greenlight for more episodes or movies.
Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch will be reprising their roles of Superman and Lois Lane. They’ve played the duo in the above-mentioned shows as well as in “Arrow” and “Batwoman.” This is a time for them to shine as the leads, and as long as the writing and acting are good, fans will tune in.
In this incarnation, according to Deadline.com, they’ll “deal with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today’s society.” No air date has been announced, but it’s currently in production.
Q: When is the final season of “Lucifer” going to be on Netflix? I’m sad it’s the last one but really eager to see how it all pans out. – R.M.
A: The fifth and final season of the cult hit “Lucifer” has no official air date yet, but a big announcement was made recently about a highly important character, God, who will be played by Dennis Haysbert.
You might remember Haysbert (who also voices the Allstate insurance commercials) as the president of the United States in the FOX series “24.”
