It’s the height of summer (not that the weather is reflecting it), and that means it’s blockbuster season – not only on the big screen, but in your very own living room. There’s an abundance of small screen treats all vying for your attention right now – and here to guide you all through it is the latest issue of Pilot TV magazine, arriving with the new issue of Empire on Thursday 13 June. Here’s a sneak peek inside this month’s mag.
Stranger Things 3
It’s 1985 – the summer of Back To The Future, mall culture, and Madonna. And, if you’re one of the kids of Hawkins, Indiana, there are more nightmarish creatures from the Upside Down ready to ruin your school holiday. Pilot TV goes on set of Season 3, talking to Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Gaten Matarazzo and more all about Netflix’s latest ‘80s monster mash.
Rob Lowe
From St. Elmo’s Fire to The West Wing and Wayne’s World, Rob Lowe is an all-American star. But his latest series Wild Bill finds him solving crimes in Lincolnshire – a move he discussed in forensic detail in this issue’s major Pilot TV Interview.
Andrew Scott
From Black Mirror Series 5’s ‘Smithereens’, to his attention-grabbing turn as Fleabag’s Sexy Priest, 2019 belongs to Andrew Scott – and we spoke to the actor about his stellar year.
