Mahershala Ali

If you liked Ali in "Green Book" as Dr. Don Shirley, Season 3 of "True Detective" just wrapped and you can binge the whole thing!

The season is eight episodes in total, and centers around a case that happens in the Ozarks. There are three time periods, so you'll get to see Ali transform and age over time, along with watching him investigate the case of two missing children.

The new season also stars Stephen Dorff of "Blade" fame, and Ray Fisher from "Justice League."

Regina King

King, winner of best supporting actress for her remarkable performance in "If Beale Street Could Talk," is set to star in the HBO show "Watchmen," which premieres this year.

The story, created by Damon Lindelof, known for co-creating "Lost" and "The Leftovers," and based on Alan Moore's 1986 graphic novel, will be "set in an alternate history where 'superheroes' are treated as outlaws," according to HBO.

"He’s definitely going to shake things up," King told The Independent newspaper about Lindelof's work with the series.

"He’s definitely touching on subject matter that is, like 'Beale Street' in some ways, relatable and relevant," she added. "He’s doing an amazing job of finding the levity in a serious space."
