David Harbour Delves into the Psychology of Hellboy and Detective Hopper
Stranger Things star David Harbour recently found himself in a place he never expected to be. In the pages of Vanity Fair. Harbour noted to the magazine that he didn’t think he was “interesting enough” to land a feature, but the insight he shared into the characters he’s played was fascinating.
The actor’s upcoming turn as Hellboy may seem like a departure from the Hawkins detective we’ve come to know him as.

However, Stranger Things has been there, done that. But, there’s more! Can I offer you Beetlejuice, Poltergeist, A Nightmare on Elm Street, or The Thing? The series hasn’t done a single Take On Me filter.

How Atlanta‘s Emmy-Nominated Sound Designer Crafted Horror Ep “Teddy Perkins”
Atlanta has been one of TV’s most reliably original shows for the past two years. Donald Glover’s trippy, brilliant exploration of the story of Earnest Marks (Glover) and his cousin Alfred (Brian Tyree Henry)’s attempts to make a name for themselves in Atlanta’s thriving hip-hop scene has created some of the most indelible sequences and moments in TV since the show burst onto the scene in 2016.

Everyone in The Romanoffs Has a Serious Royalty Obsession
The first trailer for Matthew Weiner’s upcoming series The Romanoffs doesn’t really tell us more than we knew before. But it is outrageous and decadent and basically a big one-minute name drop.

First Images From Netflix’s new Series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Netflix‘s upcoming Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is a far cry from Melissa Joan Hart’s Sabrina the Teenage Witch, which aired on ABC for seven seasons beginning in 1996.

Two brand new images speak to the new Sabrina,
The Game of Thrones Ice Dragon Debate may Finally be Settled
Last season’s Game of Thrones brought us an almost absurd amount of drama and intrigue. The Stark Sisters increasing acrimony and the threat of Arya killing Sansa. Dany’s march on Westeros and all the complications involved. Cersei’s death grip on power in King’s Landing. The first use of Dany’s dragons against an army of Westeros in that epic “Spoils of War” episode. The absolutely insane plan to go north of the Wall and capture a wight.
Ruby Rose is Batwoman in the CW’s Groundbreaking new Series
We were cautiously optimistic when we heard that the CW was creating a Batwoman series based on the DC comics character Kate Kane. Now that we know Ruby Rose will be starring as the greatest Gotham hero not named Batman, we’re thrilled. The series isn’t 100% confirmed—first, Rose will be appearing in the networks’ annual Arrow-verse crossover event in December. If the introduction excites fans as much as the mere notion is exciting us, then the CW could be green lighting a Batwoman series for the 2019-2020 season.

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 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.
