The comedic drama set in a women’s prison from creator and executive producer Jenji Kohan became an immediate success when Netflix released the entire first season on July 11th to all of their subscribers.

Redefining what hour long dramas were capable of, this Netflix Original Series pushed boundaries, bucked the system and never, ever shied away from asking the ‘tough’ or ‘uncomfortable’ questions.

The cast is currently hard at work filming the hotly anticipated second season, scheduled to premiere in 2014.

We were fortunate enough to steal some time with the beautiful Samira Wiley in between takes.

Samira brought us up to speed on what’s been happening with the series so far, where things are headed and particularly, what’s in store for her character, Poussey Washington.

You can check out our Entire Exclusive Interview with Samira Wiley right here.

You also can NOT miss our Amazing Exclusive Interview with Kate Mulgrew, the formidable Galina “Red” Reznikov, who rules the kitchen with an iron spoon, as she discusses her hopes and expectations for the upcoming second season as well as her reflections on the incredible creative success that the show has already become!

Kate actually goes a little ‘Method’ on us a couple of times and slips into the character of ‘RED’ as we’re speaking! It’s pretty incredible.

People often ask me why I’m willing to sacrifice everything else in my life to keep this little TCS empire of mine going and the answer is, opportunities like this one.

My Exclusive One on One Interview with Kate Mulgrew (that William Shatner crashed mid-way through) at the 12th Annual Star Trek Convention in Vegas, presented by Creation Entertainment is the reason I keep going.

Having the opportunity to conduct a deep, insightful interview with an amazing actress about a fascinating character on a killer new show that everyone is loving is a real gift to an interviewer such as myself.

Of course the fact that both Kate and Bill have been heroes of mine since I was a child was the icing on the cake to be sure; but conducting this interview was an honor and a privilege.

I hope you guys enjoy it and stay tuned for many more posting soon!!!

When we covered the Los Angeles return of the Grand Slam: Star Trek & Sci-Fi Summit presented by Creation Entertainment this past February, I don’t think we realized the wonderful doors that would be opening for us as a result.

That weekend was a fantastic success for us as we sat down and chatted with some of our favorite Trek actors like Brent Spiner, Michael Dorn, Gates McFadden, Rene Auberjonois, Armin Shimerman, Robert Picardo, Connor Trinneer, Dominic Keating, Aron Eisenberg, Chase Masterson and even some non-Trek folks like Sam Witwer star of the Syfy Series, Being Human, and the star of NBC’s Grimm, David Giuntoli.

Everyone at Creation was so incredibly wonderful to work with that when we heard about the upcoming Trek explosion happening in Las Vegas, we had no choice but to get on board!

The Official Star Trek 2013 Vegas Convention will be taking place from August 8th – August 11th.

So, next Thursday I’ll be leading a small TCS team down to The Rio Suites Hotel for 4 Trek-filled days packed with celebrity interviews, themed events and a new segment called, Trekspert; where I’ll give people the chance to stump me on Star Trek Trivia. (yeah, good luck on that folks!)

We’ll be on hand at the Convention in Sin City for the entire 4 day weekend and will be interviewing tons of your favorite celebrities, the event organizers and of course chatting with as many die hard fans as we possibly can!

Over 100 Celebrity Guests have been confirmed and we’re going to be doing our damnedest to chat with ALL of them!

It’s going to be a crazy weekend, so be sure to keep checking back here for updates, photos and interviews as we document this mind blowing non-stop Trekgasm!
