Game of Thrones Season 7: Three Mighty Houses Collide

Now that we're officially in the home stretch for Game of Thrones, with creators D.B. Weiss and David Benioff stating there are only 15 more episodes left, tops, it's actually becoming just a little bit easier to speculate on where the show is headed. The chessboard was massively realigned in the final episode, with a ton of pieces swept right off the board thanks to Cersei's trick with the wild fire beneath the Sept of Baelor.

Mr. Robot Production Designer on Show’s Sinister Looks

Cyber thriller Mr. Robot was one of the break-out hits of last year, and arguably the best new show on TV. With the second season premiere dropping on Wednesday, July 13, we talked to production designer Matt Munn about making coding come to life, trying to show the real New York and working on Girls.

What were the initial discussions and inspirations you had to develop the look of Mr.

Game of Thrones Announces Season 7 Directors

They are Jeremy Podeswa (read our interview with Podeswa here), Mark Mylod, Alan Taylor (he directed one of the show's most infamous episodes), and newcomer Matt Shakman.

Game of Thrones Has 15 More Episodes Left, Tops

In yet one more piece of Game of Thrones news, showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff have finally, officially confirmed that the show has a little less than two full seasons left. In an interview with Deadline after the season six finale, "The Winds of Winter," they revealed that the series has nearly reached their original notion of finishing their story in 70-75 hours.

Game of Thrones Quiz: Inside “The Winds of Winter”

Yesterday we took a deep dive into "The Winds of Winters," the season 6 finale, mapping out the incredible amount of action and revelation that spread across the seven kingdoms. In this 9 minute featurette released by HBO, we hear from showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff about the many motivations and relationships that set this thrilling finale into motion. In the video, you'll find most of the answers you'll need to our questions, but see how well you can do before you watch it.

Game of Thrones Recap: “The Winds of Winter”

Game of Thrones has had it’s fair share of sadists (Ramsay, Joffery), murderers, rapists and undead killers, but after the season six finale, it now has its Queen of Overkill. Once again, Cersei Lannister has extracted revenge on her enemies in a move that begs the question; does she ever think about collateral damage, not just to her unintended victims (if there is such a thing for her), but the damage she might be doing to herself?

Game of Thrones Finale Teaser Hints at Major Reckoning

As has been the case since the first season, Game of Thrones delivered the goods in it's ninth episode, "Battle of the Bastards." The focus in this hugely ambitious hour of television was on two storylines only; the titular battle between Jon Snow and Ramsay Bolton, and the battle in Meereen between Dany and her forces and the Sons of the Harpy and the slavers. This meant no time spent with the Hound or the Lannisters,

Game of Thrones: How They Shot the Battle of Winterfell

The ninth episode in any Game of Thrones season is epic, but last night's "Battle of the Bastards," the ninth in season six, set the bar about as high as it can go. "As soon as we wrote episode nine, we knew that it was going to have to operate on a scale we've never operated [on] before," says showrunner and episode co-writer D.B. Weiss. His co-writer and fellow showrunner David Benioff explains that while they've had several night battles and sieges in 

Game of Thrones Recap: Battle of the Bastards

Our long national nightmare is over. Well, one of them. In "Battle of the Bastards," Jon Snow fought valiantly, but stupidly, and was just about ready to die (again), along with Tormund, Davos, Wun Weng Wun and a few thousand wildlings (and a few dozen Bear Island men), but they were saved. Saved by Sansa Stark. The blue eyed bad ass was writing to Lord Baelish when we saw her with quill in hand in last week's episode,

Finally! HBO’s Westworld Releases First Teaser

HBO aired the new Westworld trailer right before last night's epic Game of Thrones episode (don't worry, we'll get to that in another post), and from this glimpse we're convinced we might have the cable network's newest hit on our hands. 

Westworld will clock in at 10, one-hour long episodes that focuses on the fantastic, brutal world of the title in which humans can do anything (truly anything) they want in a theme park populated by artificially intelligent robots.

Sunday’s Game of Thrones Episode: By the Numbers

It’s almost that time, Game of Thrones fans. The penultimate episode of each season is always a treat (or not, if you like your characters alive and happy), and this Sunday we get to watch Jon Snow face off with Ramsay in what should be an epic battle over Winterfell (read a bit more about the Battle of the Bastards here). It might be the most anticipated episode of season six,

Yup, This Sunday’s Game of Thrones is Going to be Huge

You know what's coming on this Sunday's Game of Thrones—the Battle of the Bastards. We've been waiting for this all season. In fact, while we didn't know it would be Jon Snow who would lead the charge, we've been waiting for Ramsay Bolton to have face someone, anyone in an actual fight (and no, Yara Greyjoy and her small band of soldiers who tried to free Theon from Ramsay's cage don't count—that was a search and rescue mission). 

Game of Thrones Recap: “No One”

She seemed to be on the ropes for a while, possibly giving up her title as Game of Thrones toughest young person to the Lady of Bear Island, even (for a time) claiming she had no name, but, by the end of last night’s excellent episode, Arya Stark reminded viewers exactly who she is.

That final scene! In a season that’s given us several legitimately great endings, from the surprisingly emotional “

Was a Secret Character Hidden in Last Week’s Episode of Game of Thrones?

At the 1:04 mark in the "Inside the Episode" featurette below, you'll revisit the moment in "The Broken Man" when three members of the "Brotherhood Without Banners" come upon the Hound's new family of sorts, Septon Ray (Ian McShane) and his peaceful followers. The man in the middle of these three is who we have our eye on; note his yellow-ish cloak. We'll come back to this. The arrival of the Brotherhood is an important moment in the episode regardless, as by the time the credits roll,

All Hail Lyanna Mormont, Game of Thrones Mightiest new Character

You've got to hand it to Game of Thrones. In "The Broken Man," an episode that involved a 20-foot tall giant's one word affirmative response to Jon Snow's call for help, it was the four-and-a-half foot tall, 10 year old Lyanna Mormont (Bella Ramsey) and her affirmative response that stole the show.

But first, let's revisit Jon, Sansa and Davos meeting with the wildlings. Despite Tormund Giantsbane's solidarity with Jon, the wildlings were not inititally keen on going to war with the Bolton's,

New Vice Principals Trailer Features Bill Murray

HBO's comedy game is strong. Two of the most reliable ways to laugh out loud reside on the premium cable channel in the form of Veep and Silicon Valley. Now they've gone ahead and given us another show we're adding to our already packed DVR slate—Vice Principals. The new trailer features a cameo by Bill Murray, but clearly the show will rely on the dangerous (and demented) duo of Danny McBride and Walter Goggins. 

Game of Thrones: The Broken Man

And once again, they are fated to rise and fall together. We’re talking, of course, about Arya and the Hound, who last parted when Arya refused to put the old dog out of his misery after his bruising, brutal, and losing fight against Brienne in season four. In a Game of Thrones rarity, we meet the Hound, also known as Sandor Clegane, in a cold open—and he's very much alive. He’s now in a group,

From Gossip Girl to Billions: Costume Designer Eric Daman

Eric Daman, the man who learned from the inimitable Patricia Field on Sex and the City and then went on to put his own distinctive stamp as a costume designer on shows like Gossip Girl and The Carrie Diaries, discusses his latest work on Billions and The Astronauts Wives Club.

Some people might be surprise to find out that the same costume designer who created the over-the-top style of Gossip Girl and The Carrie Diaries is also responsible for Billions.

How Actual New York Chefs Reality-Checked Restaurant Drama Feed the Beast

AMC touts its new David Schwimmer/Jim Sturgess drama Feed the Beast (debuting Sunday, June 5, at 10 pm ET) as a show that explores the "insanity of the New York restaurant world." It's a topic series consultant Harold Dieterle knows a lot about. After winning Bravo TV's Top Chef crown, the American Culinary Institute-trained New Yorker came out swinging in Manhattan's hyper-competitive fine dining scene, where he ran three critically acclaimed restaurants at the same time.

Talking to Seth Meyers About Late Night‘s Growing Power

Seth Meyers is really starting to get comfortable in the hosting chair at Late Night: Seth Meyers and people are taking notice of his no holds barred skewering of political issues. We discuss how he manages to present a strong point of view and keep people laughing, being called the ‘heir to Jon Stewart’ and how he feels about Trump (hint: he’s not laughing so hard anymore).
