New Star Trek: Discovery Trailer Continues Sci-Fi’s Glorious Revival
The fact that Star Trek will be back on the air is news we all can use. Not only has the Star Trek reboot on the big screen been a massive success (led by J.J.

Whether the narrative involves the human need for connection,

Twin Peaks Featurettes Revisit the Phenomenon That Changed TV
“A dead girl. This is what got us going, me and Mark,” says Twin Peaks co-creator David Lynch, speaking, of course, about Laura Palmer, the murdered girl who was at the dark, deliriously weird heart of his and Mark Frost’s iconic creation. Showtime has uploaded two new featurettes, totaling nearly 10 minutes, that delves into just how unusual, and trailblazing, the original Twin Peaks was. Once the pilot aired, the show became a phenomenon,
Melissa McCarthy and Alec Baldwin Return, Bigly, to Saturday Night Live
Melissa McCarthy returned to SNL this weekend as the host, and once again reprised her now iconic role as embattled press secretary Sean Spicer, and boy, did she make the most of her time. Her Spicey crashes a press conference, one he used to run, and rages at the gathered and by now familiar faces—he might call them foes—assembled to do their jobs. This was McCarthy’s fifth time hosting, and her now legendary take on Spicey was the highligh to a very funny show,
From Italian Disco to Tupac Shakur, Master of None Music Supervisor Explains Tonal Twists &Turns
Aziz Ansari fans probably have no idea who "Mina" is, but they'll hear plenty from the famous-in-Italy pop singer when Master of None season 2 begins streaming on today. "Mina was an Italian pop star in the late sixties, very much in the Phil Spector / Dusty Springfield vein," says deejay-turned-music supervisor Zach Cowie. "Aziz found out about her when he was in Italy and now she's kind of become the guiding voice for the season."
New Twin Peaks Trailer has Actual Footage From Upcoming Show!
If loose lips sink ships, than David Lynch is an admiral for the ages—no one working on his Twin Peaks revival has breathed a word about the show's plot, or anything else. That ethos has also, at least in part, been driving the marketing campaign. Twin Peaks is a mystery, after all, so it makes some sense that the promo material up to now has been so…mysterious. Each new bit of information,

Watch the First Teaser for Bryan Singer’s X-Men Show The Gifted
With Legion already a critical and commercial success, one wondered what the X-Men movies most seasoned director, Bryan Singer, would do with his show The Gifted. One thing you can count on (and you’ll glean this from the teaser) is that it’s not going to be like Legion at all. As Singer told Mashable earlier this year, The Gifted is a very different kind of story from both Legion and his own work in the cinematic X-Men universe:

A sneak preview of Andres Muschietti’s It premiered on Sunday night at the MTV Movie and TV awards, following a few creepy teasers and photos we've seen over the past few weeks.

Fargo Song Picker Finds Obscure Gems to Underscore Quirky Criminality
It was weird enough that bleakly funny Minnesota noir series Fargo (Wednesdays on FX through June) kicked off its third season last month with an eight-minute interrogation set in Cold War East Berlin.

Maggie Phillips, the artist-turned song picker who supervises music selections for the series,
HBO Has Four (Yes, Four) Game of Thrones Spinoffs in Development
You can never have too much of a good thing. This, it seems, is a sentiment HBO might be putting to the test, as Deadline reports that cable’s premiere network has four Game of Thrones spinoffs in development. Now, a channel like HBO always has lots of stuff in development, some of which never see the light of day, so this shouldn’t be all that surprising—but—four projects is a lot,

The Get Down’s Costume Designer on Hitting the Perfect 70’s Notes
Part two of Baz Luhrmann’s musical melodrama The Get Down was released earlier this month on Netflix, jumping forward from 1977 to 1978. The South Bronx tale of love and the pursuit of fame saw its religious and criminal secondary plot lines toned down, ever so slightly, to let the show focus on hero Ezekiel (Justice Smith), his girlfriend Mylene (Herizen F. Guardiola), her burgeoning disco stardom, and the divergent paths taken by Zeke and his childhood best friend,
