We’re not sure if you’ve heard, but this television thing has become a pretty big deal. Even big movie stars who wouldn’t normally be caught dead watching a TV have signed on to TV projects recently, which has been the case for a long time now but we’re pretending its a new trend for comedic effect! Anyway, according…

We can now add “a timely return for Silicon Valley” to semi-reluctant hitman Barry Berkman’s list of victims; per TVLine, the critically beloved HBO actor-murder comedy has just inadvertently caused an apparent year-long delay for the network’s long-running techbro comedy series. It all comes down to the time and…

For a generation of teens, HBO’s Taxicab Confessions was a notoriously frustrating watch. Everything around the promotion of the show seemed to promise an abundance of scandalous sexual content, but inevitably you’d find yourself up well past your bedtime watching an alcoholic father confess his greatest regrets in…

2 Dope Queens, WNYC Studios’ critically-acclaimed comedy and storytelling podcast has released its final episode. And that sucks. But the titular queens, Jessica Williams and Phoebe Robinson, have scored their dream guest to soften the blow for their final episode. Don’t get tears on your keyboard, boo boos: An…

One year and three months. That’s how long it’s been since Game Of Thrones’ penultimate season ended. That’s how long it’s been since—spoiler alert if you somehow aren’t caught up on season seven, and if not, what the hell have you been doing?—The Night King rode atop a blue-eyed Viserion shooting crazy blue flames as…

David Spade hasn’t had an objectively great comedy role in a long time, but that’s all about to change—in theory—thanks to HBO, Diablo Cody, and Jason Reitman. According to The Wrap, Spade is set to star in a new HBO comedy series from Cody and Reitman (the team behind Juno, Young Adult, and Tully) about a washed-up,…

George R.R. Martin’s been living a life of champagne wishes and caviar dreams since HBO turned Game Of Thrones into a cultural phenomenon, hobnobbing with celebrities and inking TV deals as if there isn’t an unfinished manuscript gathering dust on his Wordstar 4.0. He’s shared sample chapters from his upcoming The…

After repeatedly biting it on both film and TV, Sean Bean is bringing his ability to memorably die onscreen to a new medium: Video games. Bean is your first target in the upcoming Hitman 2, and the actor is well-aware of how his reputation precedes him.

Philip Roth died earlier this year, leaving behind a legacy of novels that are likely to be celebrated for generations to come, and a whole bunch of film adaptations that, well, not so much. (Looking at you, The Human Stain.) Now, Deadline reports that HBO and David Simon will be giving one of Roth’s better-known 21st…

We’ve known for months that Jeremy Irons will be in HBO’s Watchmen TV pilot, which is supposedly an “alternative reality” from the one depicted in the comic and takes place after that story, but all we knew was that he’d be playing an “aging and imperious lord of a British manor.” Now, it sounds like we might not have…

Sussane Bier has an Oscar, an Emmy, and a Golden Globe under her belt, but the Danish filmmaker may have just scored her highest-profile gig yet as the director of David E. Kelley and Nicole Kidman’s The Undoing.

James Wolk has been in a lot of things. The guy’s had roles in Billions, Shameless, Political Animals, Zoo, and something called Tell Me A Story that mixes fairy tales with Trump (don’t ask). But no one associates his name with those shows. Instead, Wolk’s career has been linked to three small words, the now-universal…

HBO doesn’t really need George R.R. Martin anymore, do they? Like, Game Of Thrones is wrapping up early next year and Martin himself has admitted that he’s not all that involved in its spin-offs. What the author has created is now its own self-sustaining engine, one that will continue to chug along whether he finishes …

HBO confirmed that it was finally making a Deadwood follow-up movie back in July, putting an end to 12 years of healthy skepticism about whether the premium cable network would ever really be able to wrangle all of the original cowpokes back together for more of David Milch’s cuss-filled Western. Of course, the thing…

You may not have heard—we get it, we’re mid-binge on, like, five different streaming shows right now—but there’s a national election in three days. And while we know that voting booths, mail-in ballots, and the grim specter of democracy’s looming death can all be scary (so many levers!), we’re happy to report that the …

So far, we’ve only been able to get information about Game Of Thrones’ final season by piecing together vague, possibly misleading comments from the people who star in it, but things seem to be a little easier for James Hibberd over at Entertainment Weekly. He actually got a chance to visit the show’s extremely…

Josh Whitehouse is a household name over in the U.K., where he stars in the wildly popular, extremely horny period drama Poldark. Now, he’s set to become every bit as recognizable stateside, as he’s just been cast alongside Naomi Watts in another horny series: HBO’s Game Of Thrones prequel. Set thousands of years…

Details are starting to come together for the untitled Game Of Thrones spin-off/prequel that HBO is set to launch just as the original series comes to an end, with Variety reporting that Naomi Watts has just signed on to star in the show’s pilot. We don’t have specifics, since all we really know about the project is…

Watching a steamy sex scene on HBO—whether its The Deuce’s wide-ranging exploration of sex work, or Game Of Thrones’ infamous “sexposition”—it’s easy to forget that you’re watching a bunch of people at work, just like any other poor schmuck collecting a paycheck. That’s part of the point, of course—nobody on the…

HBO shows rarely seem to get canned after only a single season, since doing that undermines the way the network presents itself as an infallible hit-maker, but it’s even rarer that HBO renews a series for a second season, admits it made a mistake, and then cancels it anyway. Unfortunately, such was the sad story of Vinyl
