Evan Rachel Wood Confirms Westworld Season 2 Coming Early-ish Next Year
The last time we heard or saw anything definitive about Westworld season 2, it was during Comic-Con this past July when HBO released a brief teaser (which has since been taken down). When it comes to production, the set of Westworld is as secretive as Game of Thrones or any of the major film franchises (Marvel, DC, Star Wars, etc.), so getting even a little bit of information is something.
Jordan Peele Set to Revive Sci-Fi Classic The Twilight Zone
CBS is once again unlocking the door with the key of imagination for a Twilight Zone series. The show that has often be hailed as among the best writing on television is being picked up for a reboot.
Everyone can remember their favorite episode and which scared them the most as a kid, whether it was a gremlin on the wing of the plane or plastic surgeons with the face of a pig.
First Look at A Christmas Story Live!
The itchy collars, the ugly sweaters, the gaudy leg lamps. We all remember taking the family Christmas photo and now we can relive it all again with the Parkers. The first promo for A Christmas Story Live! reveals Ralphie, Randy, Mother and the Old Man posing in their wintry best.

The iconic battle over the Old Man’s “major award” is brewing once again. Mother (Maya Rudolph) has the boys in picture perfect order while the Old Man (Chris Diamantopoulos) sets up the self-timing camera on the tripod.

Nathan Fillion to Headline The Rookie
The sting of Castle ending last year after eight seasons is still raw, but there is hope for something equally exhilarating to fill our bruised and battered hearts. Deadline reported that Nathan Fillion has signed on to star in The Rookie on ABC produced by Castle showrunner, Alexi Hawley.
Fillion’s guest appearances on Modern Family have kept us afloat, but this sound like a return to material that is much more similar to Castle’s format.
The Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror New Episode and Marathon Schedule
This year’s The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode was an ambitious instant classic that kicked off the FXX marathon. You can watch every Halloween themed Simpsons episode beginning tonight at 6pm. Last night’s episode marked Treehouse number 28 and it’s definitely going down as one of the most memorable.
With 29 seasons down, this was surprisingly the first time the show did a spoof of The Exorcist,
The Walking Dead Celebrates Episode 100 With Movie Poster Mash-Ups
TV shows have reached movie level quality from Game of Thrones to Stranger Things to Fargo and a dozen other examples. Among this field of exceptional quality, The Walking Dead, stands out for effects, cinematography, makeup, and storytelling.
The incredible series, now entering its 8th season, remains one of the highest watched shows on television and is celebrating episode 100 on October 22. If it were a movie,
Jane Krakowski and Chris Diamantopoulos Join A Christmas Story: Live! Cast
Reasons to tune in to A Christmas Story: Live! this holiday season are growing exponentially. Jane Krakowski and Chris Diamantopoulos have joined the cast and we can hardly contain our excitement. This is better than a major award!
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star Krakowski has been cast as Ralphie’s teacher Miss Shields. She will presumably be recreating one of the best fantasy sequences of the entire show in which Miss Shields gives Ralphie an “A Plus!
Mindhunter‘s Visual Effects are So Good You Don’t Know They’re There
A new behind-the-scenes clip from Mindhunter highlights just how crazy and intense the editing process can be on a TV show. The serial killer series that you have no doubt been binging on Netflix is trademark David Fincher. It’s dark and suspenseful and you might not realize the benefits of all the digital enhancement that has contributed to the final project.
The clip from Adobe, whose products are used on the series,
That Intriguing Game of Thrones Daario Fan Theory Has Been Debunked
Game of Thrones fans continue to drum up and debate theories as they wait for winter to finally come. Though the creators repeatedly prove that shock and awe are key ingredients for this show, one popular fan theory has been solidly debunked with a recent casting announcement.
Sorry to say, Dany’s former lover Daario Naharis will not make an epic return. At least not in the way some watchers had hoped.
Kate McKinnon Dominates this Week’s SNL Highlights
This week’s SNL was a knock out episode in what has already started out as a strong season. It’s always top notch when a comedian hosts, and Kumail Nanjiani was no exception. His opening monologue was an extension of his summer hit The Big Sick that tackled racial tensions. Nanjiani called out in hilarious fashion the atrocities of racism, namely attacking someone of the wrong race.
Nanjiani starred in some other solid sketches,
The Epic Final Trailer for Stranger Things 2
Friday the 13th turned out to be our lucky day. With exactly 2 weeks to go before Stranger Things 2 binge watching begins, the final trailer has been unleashed.
Another Halloween in the 1980s, another string of strange events. Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) had a pretty miserable first season, but it doesn’t look like things turn around for the poor kid. It’s been a year since the events of season 1 occurred that ended with Will being rescued,
Behind The Scenes of The Walking Dead Season 8
AMC just released a behind the scenes look at Season 8 of The Walking Dead that is a pretty good highlight of everything we love about the show. It also strongly foreshadows the violence to come.
Rick, played by Andrew Lincoln, has united a formidable army to fight Negan and the Saviors, but they are ruthless. Last season was almost too much for us to bear from these conscienceless monsters. Season 8 is going to be total war between the groups and the cast and crew are all but preparing us for a lot of losses.
Miley Cyrus and James Corden Carpool Karaoke and Cry on Command
Miley Cyrus just made her debut appearance on what is one of the strongest sketches to come out of late night TV, Carpool Karaoke.
Cyrus was James Corden’s most recent carpool lane buddy. In an era of abundant auto tuning, Miley proves her chops are the real deal. You can see her technique up close as she sings along to her own tunes and the girl has got it. There’s a reason she’s on The Voice.
Mr. Robot‘s Production Designer on Designing Disintegration in Season 3
From the outset, Mr. Robot and hacker Elliot (Rami Malek) have been barreling toward a doomsday scenario, so fans of the USA Network show, which began Season 3 Wednesday at 10/9 pm, will be happy to see that things are only getting worse. “The theme for Season 3 is ‘Disintegration,'” says production designer Anastasia White, who teamed with show creator Sam Esmail to implement his vision of a chaotic New York City beset by a power outage.
A New Day Dawns for Rick in The Walking Dead Seaon 8 Teaser
Last season of The Walking Dead took a major emotional toll on us all. I don’t know if we can take losses like that again, but here we go.
The season 8 teaser just dropped, and it’s looking far more optimistic than the opening of the previous season. Any signs of positivity are difficult to believe on a post-apocalyptic show where half the characters have died over the show’s run, but the 15 second clip does not reach the depths of despair Rick and the gang faced in season 7.
Bart Pranks Moe on a Game of Thrones Themed Episode of The Simpsons
Even in a Middle Ages fantasy world with no phone, Moe is still falling for the same prank he’s been subjected to over the last 29 years.
Bart had a great idea for one of his classic prank calls to Moe, but in the season 29 premiere, the medieval setting was a bit of a challenge. No matter for Bart. He took a cue from Game of Thrones and sent a carrier raven with a note to Moe’s tavern.
Creating the Zombie Polar Bear Attack in Game of Thrones
Back in late August, we shared this behind-the-scenes featurette that detailed the wild episode, “Beyond the Wall,” that included not only the massive battle between Jon and his guys and the Night King, but also that zombie polar bear attack. Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have been trying to get the zombie polar bear into a episode for years. Once they came to the script for “Beyond the Wall,”
The Best Sketch from Ryan Gosling’s SNL Appearance
No one does modern day melodrama better than Ryan Gosling, and he got to show off his talents in Saturday Night Live’s season premiere this weekend. Gosling kicked off the year with a star studded show featuring musical guest Jay-Z, Alec Baldwin reprising his role as President Trump, and special guest Emma Stone.
The cast revisited the alien abduction sketch that featured Kate McKinnon and was a runaway hit the last time Gosling hosted,
Tom Hanks to Reprise David S. Pumpkins in Animated SNL Halloween Special
David S. Pumpkins is his own thing. And now he’s getting his own Halloween special. Any questions?
The Saturday Night Live instant classic is getting an animated makeover. One of the most popular sketches of last season featured guest host Tom Hanks as the not scary, loudly dressed, pleasant gentleman on an otherwise scary “Hell-evator” ride. As the thrill seeking couple ascended the horror-themed floors, David and his dancing skeletons confuse and amuse.
