Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Drops Witchy New Trailer

Turning sixteen has long been a threshold for teenagers, the moment when you start to exert more independence (and, if you play your cards right, your driver’s license) and become your own person. For Sabrina (Kiernan Shipka), the titular star of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, turning sixteen means deciding between the mortal world and the witch world, and the consequences of this decision are a little more severe than anything your average sixteen-year-old has to face.

CBS Reveals the First Look at the Set of The Twilight Zone

Sixty years after The Twilight Zone first made contact with our world, the portal is opening once again. This time, it may be opening for you. The classic anthology series about a normal day that slips into the supernatural is returning to CBS. If you own every episode on DVD as I do, you’ll remember the pauses for ‘station identification’ followed by the CBS logo. You can now revisit all of the classics on CBS All Access and the station announced yesterday that production has begun on the Jordan Peele reboot.

Black Mirror May Let you Choose Your Own Ending

If there were a single television series you could pick to attempt a “choose your own ending” gambit, we can’t think of a better option than Black Mirror. Charlie Booker‘s consistently brilliant, often terrifying sci-fi techno-horror series has delivered some of the most shocking endings on TV in the last four years; offering viewers a chance to steer a character out of (or deeper into) one of Black Mirror‘s nightmares has a ton of potential.

Halloween is set to revive Michael Myers’ killer career in just a few short weeks, which could inspire some of our other favorite boogeymen to crawl out of the shadows.

AMC Has Plans to Turn The Walking Dead Into a Major Franchise

The Walking Dead is as difficult to put down as the walkers themselves. In fact, it seems to be spreading. Andrew Lincoln is exiting the original series, but that still isn’t the kill shot that will put this franchise down. And why should it? So many strong characters have emerged over the course of the series. Rick would never have made it this far without Michonne (Danai Gurira), Daryl (Norman Reedus), Maggie (Lauren Cohan) or Carol (Melissa McBride).

Host or Human? Aaron Paul Joins Season 3 of Westworld

Aaron Paul is heading west once more. According to Deadline, the Breaking Bad and The Path star has landed a spot on season 3 of Westworld. Details are scarce about the role, including if Paul’s character will be human, host, or something in between. He is, however, expected to be a series regular which means we’ll have plenty of time to find out everything about him.

My theory on who he might be is wrapped up in season 2 spoilers,

Your Nominees Cheat Sheet for the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards

Television was once considered a more commonplace form of entertainment than movies. Cinema held the prestige and TV was focused on quantity for more regular consumption. Those days are no longer. Television is now achieving film quality programming, often on tighter schedules and lower budgets than it’s theatrical relative. The increase in excellent programming is clearly represented in the nominees for this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards.

Shows like Ozark and Godless that are dark and daring grabbed our attention.
