Legion Season 3 is in the Works, and it’s Only Getting Darker

The season finale of FX and Marvel’s Series Legion saw its protagonist, David, hit low points that only someone like Walter White would understand. And his downward spiral won’t be turning upward soon.

Dan Stevens’ David Haller, a mutant with psychic powers from the X-Men universe, has always been an antihero. He acts immorally because his grip on reality is shaky at best, and the Marvel comics more explicitly identify the multiple personalities—a legion of them—in his head.

The First Trailer for Netflix’s Highly Anticipated new Series Maniac is Wild

The first trailer for Netflix’s Maniac, starring Emma Stone and Jonah Hill, is here, and it’s easy to see why folks have been so excited for the new series. The limited series comes from writer/director Cary Joji Fukunaga (True Detective, Beasts of No Nation), and marries his singular talent to a corkscrewing sci-fi concept with a sensational cast.

Sir Patrick Stewart is Returning to Star Trek for a New Series About Captain Picard

The Star Fleet just got arguably its most legendary captain back (with all due respect to Captain Kirk). The rumor we’ve all been hoping is true has been confirmed—Sir Patrick Stewart is returning to reprise his role as Captain Jean Luc-Picard in a new series for CBS All Access.  Stewart shared the news on Twitter, as well as in a surprise appearance at a Star Trek convention in Las Vegas:

It is an unexpected but delightful surprise to find myself excited and invigorated to be returning to Jean-Luc Picard and to explore new dimensions within him.

Hillary Clinton Will Executive Produce TV Adaptation of Suffrage Story The Woman’s Hour

Hillary Clinton is doubling down on her foray into Hollywood. The former Senator and Secretary of State was recently on the set of Madam Secretary. Clinton will play herself in the October 7 episode in which she’ll counsel (fictional) Secretary Elizabeth McCord. Now, THR reports that Clinton will be pulling the strings behind the scene after teaming up with Steven Spielberg on a television adaptation of The Woman’s Hour.

The Riverdale Composer on Mixing Melodrama with Archie’s Innocent Past

Riverdale of the classic Archie comics was a quaint and wholesome every town with a spotless reputation. In print for more than 75 years, a recent shakeup led Archie Comics CCO, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, to create Riverdale. The edgy soap opera saga finally acknowledged that so many rivalries couldn’t remain peaceful and there had to be a dark underbelly in the town. Criminal empires, student-teacher relationships, and murder mysteries plague Riverdale with the heart of the original Archie characters intact.

Sherlock & Doctor Who Showrunner Bringing The Time Traveler’s Wife to HBO

With the series finale of Game of Thrones looming, and Netflix’s incredible volume of original content, HBO is looking for lightning in a bottle with an adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger’s novel The Time Traveler’s Wife. Steven Moffat, famous as the showrunner for the acclaimed series Doctor Who and Sherlock, will bring the story to the small screen.

We’ve seen The Time Traveler’s Wife before,

Netflix Promises that Stranger Things Season 3 Will Be Worth the Wait

I am officially establishing the Stranger Things withdrawal support group. Once you get a yearly taste of Stranger Things, it is going to be difficult to go back to the old ways. As we found out via the adorable mall themed teaser for season 3, the supernatural happenings in Hawkins are suspended until next summer. That’s an entire school year that we’ll be without the Upside Down.

Matthew Weiner’s Next Project The Romanoffs is Crazy Packed with Talent

It is really good to see the name Matthew Weiner on the screen again. Especially alongside all of these many other really good names. Seriously, there are a ton of them, but we will get to that in a minute. Amazon delivered a teaser this weekend for Weiner’s new anthology series, The Romanoffs and it’s literally a list of the crazy go nuts number of incredible cast members that will appear on the show.

James Corden Has a Mission Impossible Moment on The Late Late Show

This sketch of James Corden and Tom Cruise skydiving is the buddy comedy of the year. I saw the clip from last night’s The Late Late Show with James Corden and thought, “Eleven minutes? I’m not watching eleven minutes.” And then I watched it twice. It is absolutely darling.

Cruise has endless patience for being the most daring and professional action actor in Hollywood. Corden is (understandably) petrified which makes for some adorable interactions.  

Cody Fern Will Play the Adult Version of a Memorable AHS: Apocalypse Character

Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk are possibly the biggest risk takers in TV right now. Murphy’s Pose has been the most impactful show of the summer and Feud was just spectacular TV all around. American Horror Story has contorted to top itself each season, but I am not sure it can ever be as good as it was that first season. Even the credits sequence terrorized me.

HBO Gives a (Broad) Window for When Game of Thrones Will Return

We know the final season of Games of Thrones is coming, but just when it will arrive is an agonizing mystery. Mercifully, we aren’t being left out in the cold. HBO programming president Casey Bloys confirmed today that we are in the six months to one-year range. Rejoice! Bloys said at a Television Critics Association event today that season eight would begin in the first half of 2019.

The cast and crew have said goodbye to the idyllic sets they called home for eight seasons.

FX Uniting Show-Stopping Creative Team for Fosse-Verdon Series

It’s showtime! Oscar winning actor Sam Rockwell will portray Oscar winning director Bob Fosse in a new biographical miniseries for FX. Golden Globe winner Michelle Williams will star opposite Rockwell as legendary dancer, Gwen Verdon.

Married couple Fosse and Verdon were the most influential entertainers in dance since Fred Astaire. Fosse’s choreography and Verdon’s inimitable style revolutionized Broadway musicals.

Married from 1960-1971, Fosse and Verdon collaborated on Redhead,

Three Former Secretaries of State Will Counsel Tea Leoni on Madam Secretary

Secretary of State is one of the loneliest jobs in the world, which is why it’s good to have friends when things get choppy. Secretary McCord (Téa Leoni) is going to find that out this fall when she falls into a tough spot. Luckily, she has backup. Former Secretaries of State Hillary Clinton, Colin Powell, and Madeleine Albright will be on call in Madam Secretary’s darkest hour.

CBS announced yesterday that Madam,

SDCC 2018: Fall 2018 TV Preview

San Diego Comic-Con comes in the middle of the summer, just as the fall television season is starting to go into production, which makes it a great opportunity for popular series to send writers, producers, and stars to show exclusive footage and gag reels and meet with the fans. The Good Place set up an elaborate ‘Good Place Experience’ across the street from the convention center and next to a restaurant temporarily renamed “The Good Plates.” Visitors waited patiently in long lines to go inside,

Lucasfilm Unveils Clone Wars Trailer for Surprise Season

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is in its tenth anniversary year, and Lucasfilm’s panel at San Diego Comic-Con shared that the company’s first weekly TV show is returning for one more season.

Season 6 of The Clone Wars was billed as the final entry in the series when Netflix took over distribution from Cartoon Network. However, as it often goes with the Star Wars universe, there were more stories left to tell.

DC’s Original Streaming Content Titans Looks Beautifully Dark

For all the parents out there, this is very important: these aren’t those Teen Titans. DC has never been afraid of the dark with any of its content, but with Titans, it looks like they’ve outdone themselves. Today, DC released the first trailer for its new live-action series, Titans, which will premiere on its new streaming service, DC Universe.

Steve Has a New Summer Job in First Stranger Things 3 Teaser

Remember malls? The place you went to show off your new perm, listen to your Walkman, and make out with your college boyfriend? Yah, me neither. I was ridiculously uncool in high school. Thankfully, Stranger Things is here to show us what the hippest spot in the center of the universe was doing in the mid-80s. A new mock-ad for Starcourt Mall! features American treasures like Wicks ‘n’ Sticks, Radio Shack, and Steve Harrington (Joe Keery).

Olivia Colman Looks Truly Regal in First Photo from The Crown Season 3

Time goes on and so does the Queen. Olivia Colman is stepping into the role of Her Royal Majesty to tackle the 2nd decade of her reign. The Crown tweeted out the first look today with a pointed message to fans, “Patience.” Season 2 dropped in December, but we likely won’t be seeing the next era until 2019.

In making Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind, premiering July 16 on HBO, director Marina Zenovich celebrates the life and comedic talent of the legendary performer who committed suicide in 2014, using Williams’s voice to tell much of his story as well as interviews with his first wife Valerie Velardi, son Zak Williams and many friends, including Mork & Mindy co-star Pam Dawber, David Letterman, Billy Crystal,
