I have added screencaps of Mary in the behind the scenes video of Mercy Street. Head to the gallery to check out all the pics! And if the previous video player didn’t work for you, you can also view it below:
The Washington Post has posted a great behind the scenes video giving us a first look at PBS’ new Civil War medical drama, Mercy Street.
Programming executive Beth Hoppe says the cast of “Mercy Street,” including “How I Met Your Mother” star Josh Radnor, who plays pioneering surgeon Jedediah Foster, “The Wire” veteran Peter Gerety as a fellow doctor, and “Scott Pilgrim Versus The World” star Mary Elizabeth Winstead as nurse Mary Phinney, embraced research for their parts, including watching their way through Ken Burns’ nine-part documentary “The Civil War.”
Check out the behind the scenes footage and interview below:
ALSO, be sure to check out the first teaser for the series which will be debuting in January 2016!
Following new pics of Mary at the summer TCA panel event to promote her new show Mercy Street this past Saturday, I’ve added a few more portrait photos of Mary that she took with the cast. Thanks to Paige for the solo pics of her too! Head to the gallery to check out the new additions.
I have added two new stills of Mary in Mercy Street. The six part mini-series will debut on PBS on January 17, 2016.
Mary had a busy day today promoting for the first time her upcoming PBS TV show, Mercy Street. The six-part miniseries follows the lives of two volunteer nurses on opposing sides of the war — New England abolitionist Mary Phinney (Winstead) and Confederate supporter Emma Green (Hannah James) — and is inspired by memoirs and letters from real doctors and nurses from that time. It takes place in a luxury hotel-turned hospital in Alexandria, Virginia — the longest occupied confederate town during the war — and explores those struggling to save lives while managing their own hardships.

Mercy Street debuts Sunday, January 17 at 10 PM following Episode 3 of Downton Abbey’s final season.
As the title reads, I have two bits of information regarding Mary. First up, one of the new film releases for Netflix in August will be that the streaming service will now be playing Mary’s latest film, Alex of Venice. In case you never caught the film when it opened in limited release, Alex of Venice follows the story of a workaholic attorney (Winstead) who is forced to reinvent her life after her husband suddenly leaves.
The film itself was great, so if you have Netflix, look out for it on August 15th when it debuts.
In other news, next Thursday on August 6, Mary will be appearing on IFC’s Comedy Bang! Bang!
No pictures have been released yet, but stay tuned for that. As for the episode description, it says Mary celebrates her birthday…even though (if I remember correctly), she filmed her episode back in March.
Nonetheless, stay tuned for screencaps from that episode! 🙂 Should be fun.
A&E may not have picked up another season of The Returned, but at least we have a date as to when the first season of the show will be yours for the taking. According to TVShowsonDVD, Lionsgate Entertainment has announced that the complete series of The Returned is coming to DVD on Tuesday, September 15th. The studio informs retailers that this set will cost $26.98 SRP and comes with special features such as: “Includes bonus features not shown on TV, including a rare behind-the-scenes look at the making of THE RETURNED” (note: extras have not been finalized yet, and could be subject to change). Even better, the studio says that this 2-disc set’s episodes “Includes the UNCENSORED versions of episodes not shown on TV!” Also included are English and Spanish subtitles, closed captioning, and UltraViolet digital copies of the episodes.
Richmond.com seems to be getting excited about the upcoming PBS civil war drama, Mercy Street. Seeing as how the show was filmed in Virgina, the site has uploaded a couple of new photos, one of them being a new still of Mary as her character, nurse Mary Phinney.
Head to the gallery to check out the full-sized pic. Mercy Street will be premiering on PBS on January 20, 2016.
In other news, Mary’s film FAULTS, which was directed by her husband Riley Stearns, will be heading to Netflix on July 4th. In case you don’t know what it’s about, the film follows Claire who is under the grip of a mysterious new cult called Faults. Desperate to be reunited with their daughter, Claire’s parents recruit one of the world’s foremost experts on mind control, Ansel Roth played by Leland Orser.
Some news to report that’s a bit of a bummer. Mary’s A&E television show The Returned has been cancelled by the network due to poor ratings. The Returned launched with 1.5 million and closed out its maiden season with a 945,000 viewers.
On the upside, you can always re-watch the episodes over on the A&E site and check out all the pics from the show in our gallery. And let’s not forget that Mary is currently filming the PBS civil war drama, Mercy Street, set to air in January 2016. 🙂
