When will Matlock again clash with her lie-detective kryptonite? Does Chicago P.D.‘s Voight have a romantic decision to make? Which of the Ghosts‘ powers will be revisited? Read on for answers to those questions and others! (You can and should email any brand-new Qs to InsideLine@tvline.com.)

Will we see more of ASA Chapman on Chicago P.D.? –Bill
“She will be back,” showrunner Gwen Sigan tells TVLine. “By the time she’s back, [Voight] is going to be very happy to see her, at least as far as needing that camaraderie that they have and that friendship and that peer. He’ll be sort of longing to have that sounding board back.” Speaking of….

Any scoop about Voight’s romance on Chicago P.D.? — Minnie
Coming off Chapman’s confession that she has feelings for Voight, “I think he has no idea how he feels about her,” showrunner Gwen Sigan says. “It was a shock to him, and I think it’s churning in his mind for quite some time. These next few episodes, it’s in the background of his mind. It’s something that I think he is avoiding and then thinking about it and not knowing what to do with, but the reality is in his subconscious and it’s setting the scene for this idea of, is there more? Is his life already made up or does he have more opportunities [like] Olinsky referred to at the end of last season that there is more. So for him, it’s percolating in his head.”

Will there be a new season of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test on Fox? –Pat
Not only is a new season coming (likely in early 2025), but I hear it will have even more celebrity recruits than the last.

Got anything on Yellowstone? —Vince
When the Paramount Network hit returns with Season 5B Sunday (at 8/7c), Jamie’s gonna have a target on his back that’s wider than the Montana skyline. But Luke Grimes tells TVLine that Kayce won’t be among those gunning for his brother, not even after he launched impeachment proceedings against their father. “Kayce pretty much stays out of that stuff. I don’t think he really cares about the politics of his dad and brother. He knows and loves them as people, and that’s as far as he’s going to take it. He doesn’t get too much into their business and their squabble. He has his own separate relationship with each one of them. That’s kind of the cool thing about Kayce: He has a big heart. He sees past people’s imperfections and wants to see the good in people.”

Any scoop on Yellowstone Season 5/Part 2? —Kenny
Though Rainwater is facing an epic battle in the back half of Season 5, it doesn’t sound like conniving Angela poses a threat to him anymore. When TVLine recently asked Gil Birmingham about Thomas’ antagonist and her plot to remove him from his seat of power, he replied with a laugh, “I don’t know who this Angela is you speak of.”

If we get another Wynonna Earp movie (or season!), will Doc come back? –Markie
Doc as in the fabled gunslinger who died a most heroic death in Tubi’s Vengeance special…? Hmm, that sure seems… well, kinda sorta possible! Buried there in his Purgatory grave, “he’s got a magic box, he’s next to the Peacemaker, and he’s got Jeremy from Black Badge on the case,” series creator Emily Andras reminds. “I mean, do I think it’s going to be easy? No. Do I think there’s going to be consequences? Probably. But it’s Earp, so it’s possible, yeah!”

Any scoop on Ghosts‘ Pete? –Kat
All that series star Rose McIver would tell me about her directorial debut, with Episode 13 of the new season, is that “it’s a Pete-centric episode. Bonus scoop: Román Zaragoza told me that, “without giving away too much, Sas is definitely going to be diving into Jay’s dreams a bit more” this season.

My name is Fabio, I am an Italian fan of FBI: International. I want to know if Smitty after last episode will continue to explore the opportunity of companionship.
I am told that “absolutely” is going to happen, yes. Ciao!

Loved Season 1 of The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh! A great combo of funny and heartwarming with some genuinely surprising twists and cliffhangers at the end, and Naveen Andrews is a delight to watch in a comedy. Any word on how it’s doing and whether it will get a Season 2? –Jen
Season 1 dropped barely three weeks ago, but I did ask around for you, and indeed there is no news yet at this early stage.

Any word on the Disney+ series Gannibal, which was renewed for Season 2 in January? One of the best series in television. Hollywood take a note! –Tom
I am hearing that Season 2 is currently wrapping post-production, and there just might be news on a Stateside premiere date later this month.

When will Eamonn Walker appear in Season 13 of Chicago Fire? –Peter
We were told that Walker would pop up now and again as Boden, but thus far he has yet to book his first, non-series regular appearance.

Will there be a Chicago Fire Christmas episode this season? –Gesche
I do hate to put coal in your stocking, but the answer is no.

Who played the mediator on last week’s Matlock? –Dale
That was character actor Martin Garcia, whose beefiest TV roles have been on Get Shorty, Ray Donovan and Mr. Mayor — and who more recently appeared in a Season 3 Hacks episode.

Will Matlock bring back Yael Grobglas? It was great to see her playing Shae. –Rod
“The Meerkat” will next be seen in Episodes 7, 11 and 13 (of the already-renewed drama’s 18-episode season), series boss Jennie Snyder Urman told TVLine. (Episode 6 airs this coming Thursday.)

Anything new for NCIS? — Jerry
Take comfort that, after this past week’s polarizing WWIII episode, the one airing Nov. 11 is a nice return to form. It’s the “What if Jason Bourne developed dementia?” case that I told you about back in August, with John Getz (MacGruder and Loud, Bosch) playing a former superspy from the 1970s — which offers you just a bit of context for the McGee photo above.

I am seeing conflicting reports on when NCIS: Sydney will premiere. Any confirmed updates? –Kathleen
NCIS: Sydney is confirmed to launch Season 2 in CBS’ Fridays-at-8/7c time slot, after Blue Bloods ends and S.W.A.T. relocated to 10 pm. And since the Reagans won’t hold their final family dinner until mid-December or so, the Aussie procedural won’t return until early 2025 at soonest.

Any scoop on Lioness‘ Josie, my new favorite TV badass? –Susie
I did ask Genesis Rodriguez if Captain Carrillo will continue to get the cold shoulder from the QRF team that is tasked with backing her up, and the forecast looks… chilly. “The reason why they do that is because of the sacrifices they have to make. They have to keep everyone at bay and not really connect, because we might lose a lot of people in these missions,” Genesis noted. “It’s strictly business, but hopefully you’ll see something, some sort of connections made by her.”
