Jeremy Jordan is doing quite well for himself after Smash. He’s currently working on his role in the movie “The Last 5 Years” and can now expand on his guest starring roles. The actor is set to guest star on the new season of Elementary.

It’s not exactly a surprise but the news we all expected has finally arrived. NBC has officially canceled their musical series Smash after two seasons. Even if the show was a mess lately, I’m going to be sad to see it go. The cast, well most of it, was so wonderful. I loved seeing them together. I haven’t been able to catch up with the show since the network moved it to Saturday nights so I can’t comment on how much of a mess the second season spiraled into.
What a lovely present NBC is presenting us unceremoniously in burlap gift bags and wrapped with a bow. But again, I will miss the cast. And hey, it’s not like this show is any worse than Glee with, incidentally, has become unwatchable. Smash will conclude the sophomore run with the series finale on a special night. The episode will air Sunday, May 26th.
Will you miss the show? I’m not sure if I mentioned, but I’m really going to miss the cast. And Anjelica Huston’s hair.
From Smash to a solo success. Megan Hilty has released her new lyrical music video for “No Cure.” The song is off her new solo album It Happens All The Time. Megan is known for her big, beautiful voice so it was a surprise to hear her choose a single that’s so simple. In my opinion it doesn’t showcase how amazing her voice really is.
You can see Megan on NBC’s Smash on Tuesday nights before it makes the move to Saturdays in April.

NBC has announced plans to move Smash to Saturday nights. That’s worse than Fridays. I can’t say that it’s looking good. And it’s a shame. With the exception of a cast member or two, I really enjoy watching Smash. I love the rest of the cast and even the guest stars. They’re all so talented.
Check out the promo for next week’s new episode of Smash: “Musical Chairs.”
“Musical Chairs” – New circumstances give rise to conflicts as Karen (Katharine McPhee), Tom (Christian Borle), Julia (Debra Messing) and Derek (Jack Davenport) adjust to their new surroundings. Tensions at ‘Liaisons’ are also coming to a boil, ensuring that the show will find its place in Broadway history. Meanwhile, Eileen (Anjelica Huston) may have found the key to saving ‘Bombshell’ with the help of her daughter, Katie (guest star Grace Gummer).
Did you tune in for season 2 of Smash? We did. And I have to say, I loved it. It still has some problems, Karen is still an incredibly unlikeable character, but the rest of the cast is too fantastic for NBC to give up on it just yet. Here’s hoping they don’t! Season 2 will feature appearances from Jennifer Hudson and my personal favorite Sean Hayes so be sure to tune in on Tuesdays.
Check out the preview of season 2 and the promo for next week’s new episode, The Dramaturg here:

Derek (Jack Davenport) attempts to get Ronnie (guest star Jennifer Hudson) back on his side. Ivy (Megan Hilty) finds it hard to move on, but help from an old friend might take her one step closer to her dream. Source
