The season finale of Westworld airs tonight on HBO, but star Evan Rachel Wood is doing something more important than promoting her work this weekend. Evidently appalled by the inhuman bullshit Donald Trump and his goons are doing down at the United States’ southern border, Wood has hopped on a plane and flown down to…
David Lynch has built his career on bizarre films and TV shows that simultaneously become more meaningful and more confounding as you dive in deeper, but it seems like his current political leanings are annoyingly familiar. Speaking with The Guardian (via Deadline), Lynch says he voted for Bernie Sanders in the 2016…
Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Sunday, June 24. All times are Eastern.
It’s 3 p.m.! Let The A.V. Club briefly make use of the waning hours of your productivity with some pop culture ephemera pulled from the depths of YouTube.
Defying the series’ tradition of Red, Purple, and presumably other-colored Weddings that end with somebody inevitably getting their throat slit or literally puking out their own guts, the cast of Game Of Thrones have finally managed to watch someone get married without anybody being murdered. It probably helped that…
When Marvel’s Luke Cage premiered in 2016, it was met with much excitement and hope, in part because Mike Colter had made a hell of a first impression in season one of Marvel’s Jessica Jones. But as the Black Lives Matter movement grew, a black superhero, one who’s bulletproof, resonated for reasons beyond the page…
What Are You Watching? is a weekly space for The A.V Club’s staff and readers to share their thoughts, observations, and opinions on film and TV.
2018's been a weirdly good year for comedian and actor Tom Arnold. His ex-wife Roseanne Barr has been making bold strides in giving him things to publicly comment on, while the general timbre of the political times has pretty much caught up with his blustery, boisterous persona. Still, for all the fun Arnold seems to…
Welcome back to Trailer Happy Hour, where coffee is for closers, and “closers” are defined as “film and TV trailers featuring interesting subject matter for our shared perusal.” Today, we’ve got robot boyfriends, drunk angels, and the coming-of-age allure of a skating Jaden Smith, so let’s dive in.
After years of slow and steady development, the TV version of Clive Barker’s cult classic monster metaphor Nightbreed has finally landed itself a new home, with Deadline reporting that the adaptation has been picked up by Syfy.

Variety reports NBC has canceled the sci-fi drama Timeless. No, you’re not experiencing déjà vu—it’s just that a little more than a year after the network reversed its own decision to cancel the series from Eric Kripke and Shawn Ryan, NBC has decided once more that time’s up for Timeless.
Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that bring the most joy—the smell of a freshly blooming wild flower on a spring day; a cup of coffee in the early morning hours; notorious blowhard Piers Morgan trying to make fun of someone on TV and inadvertently embarrassing himself instead.
The Terror, AMC’s first foray into the anthology-series trend, has been a big success for the network, ending its first season as the No. 2 drama on cable and earning high marks from critics like The A.V. Club’s own Sean T. Collins, who gave all but one episode a stellar “A” rating. (Episode two got an “A-.”) So,…
A dark-ish secret of the entertainment industry is that a major factor in big awards like the Oscars and Emmys is the advertising campaigns that try to get voters’ attention. The idea is that if a voter gets a huge stack of critically acclaimed TV show episodes with no guidance, they might be so crippled by the huge…
After a few weeks of trying to work out deals, ABC has finally ordered 10 episodes of a new Roseanne spin-off that won’t have Roseanne Barr in it. Tentatively titled The Conners, Deadline says the show will premiere in the fall and that it will take over the time slot previously held by the Roseanne reboot last…
The final season of Parks And Recreation jumped a few years into the future, setting up some wacky running jokes about everyone’s absurdly high-tech hologram phones, and now AMC has confirmed that The Walking Dead is going to take a similar path for its upcoming ninth season. It won’t be giving everyone crazy phones,…
Just last month, Game Of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke claimed she didn’t know anything about what was going to happen in the show’s series finale, but Nikolaj Coster-Waldau at least seems to have a much better idea of what’s going on. Speaking with Variety, he said that showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff “couldn’t…
Attention, combat boot-wearing ‘90s teens: The hour of your revival is at hand. As Variety reports, MTV Studios is launching a revival of Daria for the even sicker, sadder world of 2018.

On a recent Sunday night (June 10, to be exact), primetime viewers found themselves with multiple options for LGBTQIA+ stories: Pose, Vida, and Claws. And not only are all three on major cable networks, but they were all created by queer people.
