Allen Moldonado is a writer, performer, filmmaker, and entrepreneur, currently co-writing and co-starring in The Last OG, opposite Tracy Morgan.

Netflix Tops Most Nominated Network of the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards

It is official. Great TV isn’t just on television sets anymore. The nominations for the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards were announced today, and by the numbers, Netflix reigns supreme. Even with Game of Thrones back in the running, Netflix still edged out HBO for the most nods.

The streaming site only entered the Emmy playing field four years ago and has quickly risen to the top. Last year, even without a season of Game of Thrones eligible for voting,

Peaky Blinders Creator Steven Knight on his BAFTA-Winning Crime Epic

Peaky Blinders beat The Crown in May to win England’s BAFTA Award for best television drama, but series creator Steven Knight won’t be shocked if his show fails to snag American kudos when Emmy nominations are announced Thursday. “Peaky Blinders doesn’t do the things that other shows do,” he says. “It took a long time to get our first BAFTA but audiences in Europe and America are loving Peaky.

Maisie Williams Says Goodbye to Arya With Bloody Photo From Game of Thrones‘ Final Season

What does it mean, Maisie? As one of Game of Thrones most potent characters, Arya Stark, Maisie Williams has played the youngest surviving Stark child since she was only 14 years old. Now 21, Williams is wrapping up her epic portrayal of Arya as Game of Thrones finishes up filming its eighth and final season (until those prequels, of course). Williams took to Instagram to post this beguiling farewell message,

Succession Creator Dissects the Family Squabbles of the Mega Rich

Family dynamics are difficult enough to navigate under the most mundane of circumstances. Factoring in massive sums of money, dizzying power and toxic levels of sibling rivalry, what could possibly go wrong? HBO‘s big business melodrama Succession offers some twisty-turny answers as it examines the warping effect of inherited wealth as filtered through the wife and offspring of wily media mogul Logan Roy (Brian Cox). Airing on Sundays, the limited series tracks the machinations of young adults (Jeremy Strong,

In the first season of Netflix’s adaption of the Marvel superhero comic Luke Cage, Luke, née Carl Lucas (Mike Colter) emerges from a quiet Harlem existence to fight his neighborhood’s most nefarious criminals. With inhuman strength and unbreakable skin, Luke is in a unique position to go head-to-head, or body-to-bullets, with local gangster Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes (Mahershala Ali) and his lackeys, and later in the season, Willis “Diamondback” Stryker (Erik LaRay Harvey).

Pose Guest director Tina Mabry On the Groundbreaking Show

Though the month of June is Pride month, Hollywood should ideally be celebrating the LGBTQIA experience year-round, in the name of diversity.

Luckily, a new show on FX, Pose, has premiered to great acclaim, and week by week is gathering an appropriately rabid fanbase.  Creator/writers Steven Canals, Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy (Murphy also directs two episodes) have built a story which takes place in 1987,

Mj Rodriguez on Breaking Out as Blanca on Ryan Murphy’s Pose

For many actresses, playing a lead role in a television show is a personal accomplishment. For Mj Rodriguez, who stars in the new FX series Pose, it’s so much more than that.

Rodriguez, a native of New Jersey who got her start in musical theater and has appeared on Nurse Jackie and Luke Cage, speaks of her casting as a triumph not only for herself but for all transgender women.

The Five Biggest Westworld Season 2 Mysteries We’re Obsessing Over

Westworld is bizarrely satisfying for being so mysterious. This season cracked open the world far beyond the park and led us to what lies beyond. As we cross the threshold of The Door and peer into season 3, here are the biggest mysteries left after the finale. Stop now if you haven’t seen season finale, ‘The Passenger.’

Will Delos continue pursuing their lucrative enterprise?

The future of Westworld is unlikely to continue in Westworld.

A Brave New Westworld: Season 2 Finale Recap

With another bloody, transporting, and revelatory Westworld season finale, showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy left viewers mystified and begging for more. The majority are probably scratching their heads, too.

Season finale ‘The Passenger’ was as tense and comprehensive as the series finale of most shows. The biggest reveal, surely, is that Charlotte Hale (Tessa Thompson) has been dead for the latter timeline of the season, which chiefly follows Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) and the Delos team struggling to jog Bernard’s scrambled memory so they can find the Forge’s encryption key.

Bringing the Music of the Muppets to a New Generation of Muppet Babies

There are few American icons that have been more places, done more things, and spread more joy than the Muppets. Miss Piggy, Animal, Fozzie, Gonzo, and of course, Kermit, are always game for an adventure. Music has always been an integral part of their career as entertainers. Andy Bean pens catchy tunes while composer Keith Horn writes the score for a younger generation of Muppets fans. And also, a younger generation of Muppets. Disney Junior relaunched Muppet Babies in March featuring the puppet heroes in toddler form.

Chucky Creator Confirms Child’s Play TV Show

The big screen’s iconic killer doll just found a new medium from which to terrorize audiences, so maybe we will really get to be friends forever. Or at least as long as the show runs.

With horror narratives like Bates Motel, Hannibal, Grimm, and The Strain all finished, it feels like there’s a lull in television horror series.

Daria Reboot Among Planned Programs for MTV Studios Launch

Sometimes, to make the present better, you have to go back in time. Which is exactly what MTV is doing with a planned Daria reboot.

In a world where some reboots can feel like cash grabs, Daria is a refreshing, if unexpected, title to bring back to life. The new Daria show, if picked up by a third party like Amazon, Hulu, or Netflix, will be joined by Aeon Flux and The Real World reboots.

Preacher Showrunner Sam Catlin on Grandma Driving Season 3’s Insane Misadventures

It had to happen eventually, according to showrunner Sam Catlin, so Preacher Season 3 begins this Sunday, June 24, at the creepy Angelville plantation ruled by the terrifying spell-caster known as “Grandma.” Fans of the comic book source material figured the matriarch would show up at some point, but they didn’t expect her to be portrayed by Betty Buckley, the Broadway musical icon. “Betty‘s got this great authority and her audition was incredible,”

Merritt Wever Transitions From Loopy Nurse to Frontier Toughie in Godless

Merritt Wever has no idea why she was picked to play a tough frontier woman in Netflix western Godless, but the New York actress wasn’t about to ask questions when writer-director-creator Scott Frank came calling. “I don’t go nosing around like that,” says Wever, who won a 2013 Emmy co-starring in Nurse Jackie as Edie Falco’s sly, exuberant sidekick Zoey Barkow.

Standing in extreme contrast to Zoey, Wever’s Emmy-buzzed portrayal of Mary Agnes McNue celebrates a gun-wielding bisexual badass who defends the frontier town of LaBelle in 1884 after all the menfolk get killed in a catastrophic mining accident.

Jon Bernthal’s Coming Back to The Walking Dead in Season 9

If Steve Trevor can appear in Wonder Woman 1984 without having aged since we last saw him die during World War I, maybe this isn’t that crazy? Jon Bernthal’s Shane was one of the most affecting characters in the early season of The Walking Dead, playing fellow cop and best friend of Andrew Lincoln’s Rick Grimes. Since leaving the show, Bernthal has become a star,

Unpacking the Final Westworld Season 2 Trailer

Things are about to change in Westworld, and this time, we have no idea where things are going. Up-to-date Season 2 spoilers lie ahead.

If you thought at any point that Westworld had reached peak darkness, this week’s episode, “Vanishing Point,” really rubbed in just how wrong you were. William, or The Man in Black (Ed Harris), reaches an all-time low and kills his daughter Emily (Katja Herbers) when his paranoia leads him to believe she is a host sent by Ford (Anthony Hopkins).

Cameron Britton Breaks Through Playing Real Life Serial Killer Ed Kemper in Mindhunter

Netflix true crime drama Mindhunter moves efficiently in tracking the origins of forensic science as experienced through FBI odd couple (Jonathan Groff and Holt McCallany) until midway through its second episode. Then, Cameron Britton makes his entrance. Playing real-life 70’s-era serial killer Ed Kemper, Britton strolls into an interrogation room and takes the show in utterly unnerving new direction through his embodiment of folksy evil incarnate.
