It’s been a likely possibility for a while now that Orange Is The New Black’s sentence might almost be up; the Netflix series is coming to the end of its current three-season order, and ended last year’s run—its sixth—by finally seeing Piper Chapman get released from jail to become the deeply privileged decorative …

In what seems a little like the TV equivalent of releasing an album of “new” music shortly after a musician’s death, ABC has begun developing a pilot for an NYPD Blue sequel series just over six months after the death of NYPD Blue co-creator Steven Bochco. This comes from Variety, which says the new show will revolve…

According to Deadline, HBO has canceled animated series Animals, bringing its three-year run to an end. The series told short little vignettes about the wacky/dark inner lives of wacky/dark animals living in New York, like mice and turtles, all of whom were either voiced by creators Phil Matarese and Mike Luciano (who…

Catching the zeitgeist just as aggressively as the days when it first introduced the world to concepts like “roommates” and “people acting like assholes for attention on TV,” MTV has announced that its long-running reality series The Real World is making the move to Facebook video, that most reliable and profitable of…

There are few gigs in modern TV more fraught with the potential to out yourself as a massive asshole than hosting Saturday Night Live. Pretty much every factor—the rush, the pressure, the presence of the live camera—is almost guaranteed to bring out the worst in people, whether it’s deciding to bust out their “funny”…

Get ready for a real taste of poo-flavored frozen yogurt: As reported by Pitchfork, Comedy Central has confirmed that Nathan For You won’t be returning for a fifth season. As a little bit of silver lining, it sounds like the decision to stop the show came from creator and host Nathan Fielder, not the soulless Viacom…

November’s a month for binging, what with that surplus of Halloween candy and Thanksgiving’s bountiful scraps. As such, Hulu has packed its platform with a slew of series, from Hulu’s own The Bisexual to the debut season of AMC’s Dietland to the entirety of Fox’s perverse Married... With Children. You can also verse…

For nearly 50 years, in thousands of episodes (the precise count is unknown), Caroll Spinney has played two of Sesame Street’s most iconic characters: The show’s 8-foot-tall spirit of childhood innocence and curiosity, Big Bird, and his trashcan-dwelling inverse, Oscar The Grouch.

The spookiness of October will soon be making way for the turkeyness of November, and in the spirit of the season, Amazon Prime is ready to stuff you with a whole bunch of original shows. The star of the month—the turkey, if you will—is the first season of Homecoming, the psychological thriller from Mr. Robot creator…

Hey, remember Grimm? The supernatural procedural on NBC about a guy hunting monsters that ran for six seasons because it aired virtually unopposed on Friday nights? Well, it’s coming back for a new spin-off, just a year after the original show ended its final season. According to Deadline, the new show will be about a…

You can now add Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s name to the list of conservatives whose outside-the-home dining options now come with a family style (and complementary) serving of “Consequences.” Carlson complained on a recent podcast appearance that he can no longer eat in public without people yelling at him all the…

According to Deadline, FX has picked up the rights to an anthology series based on Carmen Maria Machado’s Her Body And Other Parties. The original book is a short story collection that puts a sci-fi/fantasy spin on various real-life horrors that women face, including a dark (well, darker) spin on the old The Green…

A great deal can happen in seven years. In its seven seasons on The CW, Arrow has seen a lot of villains, storylines, and themes come and go. Almost every major character on the show has either been pretend dead, presumed dead, almost dead, it-was-only-a-dream dead, actually dead and brought back to life, actually…
