Finally! We've been hearing for months about the incredible casting choices for FX's adaptation of Guillermo del Toro's iconic vampire trilogy 'The Strain,' though the network had yet to issue an official series order. Now, the day has at long last come, for vampire horror-drama 'The Strain' will see the light in 2014 with a full season!
'The Walking Dead's most recent season 5 renewal came and went with surprisingly little fanfare, the only perhaps unexpected development being that showrunner Scott Gimple would stay on for another year, given all the behind-the-scenes turmoil of previous years. Now, original showrunner Frank Darabont has opened up about AMC's frank dismissal (get it?), calling the network executives "sociopaths," and refusing to watch the series.
HBO previously took us to the 1920s East Coast for all the booze and bullets of 'Boardwalk Empire,' but will its next great drama switch sides? 'The Hunger Games' and 'Captain Phillips' screenwriter Billy Ray has been tasked to develop an HBO series around 'Great Gatsby' writer F. Scott Fitzgerald's unfinished work 'The Last Tycoon,' but how far along is the project?
Among HBO's 2014 offerings, we've kept our eye most on that Cary Fukunaga-directed 'True Detective,' more for its dark and dreary drama than its all-stair pairing of Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. Apart from the most recent teasers, HBO has released a new invitation to the set video that lets McConaughey and Harrelson put in their own words what will have people talking about the project.
Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' will face one of its first real tests tonight in picking up where 'Thor: The Dark World' left off with the Asgardian-centric "The Well," but fans aren't alone in thinking ABC's 'Avengers'-adjacent drama would do better to cross over with 2014's 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier.' While we wait for tonight's latest episode, what do producers have to say of 'Agents' role in the next Marvel blockbuster?
Wednesday became all about 'The Flash' as 'Arrow' announced that the scarlet speedster would feature in his own CW pilot, rather than suit up later in the season, just before the first images of Grant Gustin's Barry Allen broke, but what of this week's "State V. Queen"? Find out what brings Vertigo ('Fringe' vet Seth Gabel) back in play in a brand-new clip from this week's latest installment!
Last week 'South Park' took us by surprise in crafting a 'Game of Thrones' parody wrapped around the concept of "Black Friday," but not so surprising as to learn that the story will continue in a second episode! Watch what happens when Butters takes his 'Game of Thrones' grievances to George R.R. Martin himself in the first clip from "A Song of Ass and Fire!"
HBO's 'Game of Thrones' hit a high note in season 3's Red Wedding episode "The Rains of Castamere," but will season 4 fare any better when it hosts yet another set of nuptials? King Joffrey and Margaery Tyrell are next in line to walk down the aisle in 'Game of Thrones,' and we've got an inside look at the "Purple Wedding" to come in 2014!
We were mostly enamored of Lady Gaga's dual turn as both 'SNL' host and musical guest this past weekend, most of the sketches landing with far more commitment than the initial promo that preceded them, but we haven't seen it all yet. Watch Lady Gaga lead the ladies of the 'SNL' cast as "Female Sea Captains" in a deleted sketch from this past weekend!
Tonight's latest 'Walking Dead' installment, "Live Bait," saw the return of everyone's favorite one-eyed villain, though we certainly left him in a tight spot by the end of the episode. The question stands: will the Governor's biggest secret be exposed, or can he learn to survive with a new group? Find out in the first sneak peek from next Sunday's penultimate hour of the year, "Dead Weight!"
