The Culper Ring of the Revolutionary War will finally come to an end, as AMC's 'Turn: Washington's Spies' confirms a fourth and final season renewal for 2017.
Woo Hoo!
I mean, I don’t love the “final” part, but at least we get a Season 4!
Storytime! There was once a creative genius named @firlachiel who theorized that George Washington totally told bad dad jokes. The TURN fandom agreed with her, and all prospered. One day, these jokes found their way into Ian Kahn’s hands, and @ms1776 suggested that the General himself should read some of them. The result was every bit as magical as you might imagine.

AMC to Tap Into Today's Political Environment to Promote ‘Turn: Washington’s Spies’ Season 3
In support of the upcoming third season premiere of AMC’s Revolutionary War drama, “TURN: Washington’s Spies,” the network will launch a witty, tongue-in-cheek multi-platform campaign invoking parallels between today’s contentious political environment and the turmoil that gave birth to our great nation, upon which “TURN” is based.
“In our promotional campaign for the upcoming season of our Revolutionary War drama, ‘TURN: Washington’s Spies,’ we play off the reality of our current fractured political environment by comparing today with the 1770s, when the colonies were split and warring over their relationship with England,” said Linda Schupack, executive vice president of marketing for AMC and SundanceTV. “The campaign feels appropriate to the period but incredibly fresh as well.”
Anchored by several creative components, the campaign takes on the current presidential election by adding a well known face to the mix of current candidates: George Washington. Other elements include the introduction of season three key art, appearing in select markets through outdoor billboards and on bus sides, contrasting today’s American flag with the famed 13-star “Betsy Ross” version and the words, “America Divided: Now and Then” in bold letters.
The second element is a series of on-air promo spots featuring copy stating “Before there were red states and blue states, there were redcoats and bluecoats…” and “Feel the Turn…” to name a few.
The third element is a “Washington 1778” digital/social extension that launched today (http://washington1778.com and #washington1778), where AMC will “run” George Washington for president, against the current field of candidates in the race. Social elements which will populate Facebook as well as a micro-site set up like a campaign website, are comprised of numerous features. These features include campaign materials with quotes from George Washington on some of the same issues being debated today including taxes, education and immigration, real-time polling giving visitors an opportunity to vote for Washington or any of the current candidates and share their vote instantly on a variety of social media platforms, a meet the team section where browsers can see the members of George Washington’s “team,” GIFs featuring statements including “Mo Taxes, Mo Problems,” campaign posters featuring taglines such as “When the Issues Facing our Nation Are a Mother, You Need a Founding Father,” bumper stickers with taglines including “Taxes, Gun Control, Immigration? Been There. Done That,” cards featuring quotes from various characters from 'TURN,’ and campaign buttons.
Finally, the campaign and upcoming third season of “TURN: Washington’s Spies” will be underscored in live event held in Washington on April 13 featuring two former candidates from the current race, Mike Huckabee (R-AR) and Martin O'Malley (D-MD), Ian Kahn, who plays George Washington on “TURN,” the creators of the show, Barry Josephson and Craig Silverstein and AMC President of Programming, Joel Stillerman. The two former Governors will be making their first joint appearance since stepping out of the Presidential race to share the campaign materials for “TURN: Washington’s Spies” and to discuss the state of politics today.

'Daredevil' Star Charlie Cox Joins Nick Payne's Play 'Incognito'
Charlie Cox is headed to the stage.
The star of Netflix’s Daredevil series has joined the cast of Nick Payne’s new play Incognito, Manhattan Theatre Club announced Wednesday. Heather Lind, of AMC’s Turn: Washington’s Spies, has also joined the production, which will be directed by Doug Hughes.
The limited engagement of Incognito will begin previews May 3 ahead of its May 24 opening at New York City Center – Stage I. Additional casting will be announced in the coming weeks.
The new work from Payne – who also wrote last season’s Broadway hit Constellations that starred Ruth Wilson and Jake Gyllenhaal – follows a pathologist who steals the brain of Albert Einstein; a neuropsychologist who embarks on her first romance with another woman; and a seizure patient who forgets everything but how much he loves his girlfriend.
Incognito braids these mysterious stories into a drama that asks whether memory and identity are nothing but illusions. The play will mark Cox’s New York stage debut.
How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a
Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a
Forgotten spot in the Caribbean by providence
Impoverished, in squalor
Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
Sean Haggerty will play Alexander Hamilton in Turn: Washington’s Spies on AMC starting April 25, 2016! He won’t be singing, sadly. ;-)

Turn: Washington’s Spies | Season Three Trailer
Turn showrunner says season 3 is The Departed set in the Revolutionary War
Prepare to meet Alexander Hamilton
… The season finale of season 2 set the table for what should be a season of tense conflict and political subterfuge that mines one of American history’s most infamous tales: Arnold’s traitorous deal to hand the American fort at West Point over to the British for a price. “This is the season I’ve been trying to get to the whole time,” says showrunner Craig Silverstein, who introduced Arnold in season 2 and positioned him for his fall from grace. The next 10 episodes will accelerate towards the intrigue and confrontation at West Point, where the entire future of the United States hung in the balance. Who wins and who loses depends less on matters of military significance and more on the whims of the human heart and the purity of the soul.
The exclusive teaser for the new season invites a comparison to modern-day American politics — when the country seems to be split down the middle during an election season. “We’ve always thought the show was relevant to now,” says Silverstein. “Just the idea that if you think America is divided now — between parties and within parties — that is nothing compared to the cauldron of the Revolutionary War where you didn’t know from house to house where they stood politically. And if you said the wrong thing or did the wrong thing, you could get yourself arrested, you could get yourself shot. I just think it’s an appropriate heightened environment, to be watching a show about America and everyone calling each other traitors — and some people really are.” …
Full Article and First Season 3 Teaser
Like the American Revolution in its early months, Turn: Washington’s Spies suffered through dark days of uncertainty while AMC twice took its time...
Yes, you read that correctly! Alexander Hamilton.
The article also features a SESAON THREE TRAILER!!!!
Turn's JJ Feild is winning the battle for American hearts and minds
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Your John Andre has become one of the great secret weapons of the show. I suspect that the juicy pitch that sold AMC was the story behind Benedict Arnold’s treachery. But for viewers and students of history, I feel like the looming tragedy of John Andre is becoming the heart of the story. How was the character initially pitched to you? JJ FEILD: I was actually in Sundance with Austenland of all things, and AMC approached me there. They sent me the script, and in the pilot, Andre didn’t have much so I was sort of confused [about] what I would do. Then, I simply started the world of research and discovered this incredible man who seemed to be the right man on the wrong side of history. And that’s sort of how [showrunner] Craig Silverstein pitched it to me. We talked about the man who turned Benedict Arnold and the man who ultimately paid the price for someone else’s treachery.
That’s very well put: the right man on the wrong side of history. Because Andre’s background was not wealthy or noble or elite; he had a very modest background. Yeah, he was a self-made man. His father was a merchant. I suppose you would say middle class. He had this incredible story where he was sort of shunned at the altar by a woman who was of higher status than he was. She backed out of an engagement and very soon after, he signed up [for the army]. He proved himself in the Canadian campaign before moving down to America. In fact, he was a prisoner of war for 18 months — this is before the show starts, as it were. In those days, if you were an officer, that meant basically that you were a house guest of someone. So he spent 18 months staying at different [American] officers’ houses and entertaining them and their wives down the east coast of America, so he was already very well known to the Americas before the Benedict Arnold story. And what I was always interested in that he had a great love of America. I think he fell in love with the place, and really thought that he was going to try and make this work. But sadly, all went wrong.
He’s quite the seducer. Yes, he has a way with the ladies. After he died, there were all the houses that he stayed in when he was a prisoner of war that seemed to have a locket of his hair and a drawing of the husband’s wife. That’s not just a polite house guest. I think he ingratiated himself with just about everyone he could find. Quite a well-known womanizer. I read somewhere, whether it’s true or not, that Ian Fleming originally based James Bond on John Andre, as the first gentleman spy.
And not necessarily just women, right? There’s some presumed intimacy in season 2 with his senior officer, with hints of sexual attraction. There’s a lot of propaganda, that Andre and Clinton were lovers — a lot of American propaganda. It was always seen as complete propaganda. But what we had fun with was going, “Well, what could be the truth behind the rumors?” There’s a ballroom scene where Clinton sort of eyes up some of the younger, prettier male officers, and I think it’s a very clever way to hint at a rumor that may or may not be true. But the writers have this huge love story that they had to follow through, which is with Peggy Shippen.
At the end of season 2, things aren’t going well for Andre. Monmouth Courthouse backfires and Peggy is in the arms of Benedict Arnold. Where will we find Andre in season 3? What’s wonderful about where we’ve ended up with Andre at the end of 2 and then into the beginning of 3 and through 3 is this is a man who’s always in control and plans every minuscule detail. For the first time, he’s out of control and he’s out of his depth. He’s not expecting to, (A) fall in love, and, (B) make decisions of the heart instead of decisions of his mind. So his judgment is impaired and he makes wild, rash dangerous decisions which start to backfire. And that downward spiral of his judgments and decision making is what ultimately is the demise of him. I’m not saying anything which isn’t in history so I don’t think I’ll get in trouble, but Andre was captured for the most ludicrous things. They were just bad judgment calls. He was captured behind enemy lined in civilian clothing, carrying documents in his boot. It’s just a series of terribly, terrible bad luck and bad judgment calls rather than buffoonery and stupidity.
Andre and Robert Rogers are two of my favorite characters. At the end of last season, it feels like these two are now on a collision course. Can I look forward to them as potential adversaries? Yes, absolutely. It takes awhile. They go off on their separate journeys, but they are interwoven and Rogers is hellbent to seek vengeance on Andre.
Craig has talked about extending the show past the revolution and into the baby steps of independence, but obviously your days are numbered. How close are we to getting to [West Point] in the autumn of 1780. Is that part of season 3 or is that still seasons away? Well, what am I allowed to say? The end of the war wouldn’t be [season] 3. The end of the war would be 5. Season 3 is really the Benedict Arnold story. The pinnacle of season 3, the crescendo is West Point and Arnold, and how Andre is obviously the mastermind of it. I can’t say any more than that, but I think you can figure that out.
Are you familiar with #MajorAndreMonday? No. [Laughs] What is that?
On Mondays after the show, there are lots of fans of John Andre and of yourself who post the most handsome picture from that Sunday’s episode. Wow. I’m scared to join Twitter and Facebook because I think theadding of any more narcissism for an actor would cause an actor’s brain to explode. I don’t get social media. It’s completely bizarre. But I’m going to be a complete hypocrite and dive into #MajorAndreMonday.
