Dane DeHaan (Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets) is planning to extend his stay on TV for a while (well, streaming) as he’ll be following up his forthcoming series ZeroZeroZero, which debuted last month at the Venice Film Festival to a positive reception, with another show for streamer Quibi.

This The Flash review contains spoilers. The Flash Season 6 Episode 1 “Meet the new Flash. Same as the old Flash.”  OK, so I’m paraphrasing The Who, certainly not the classic rock band of the hour (we’ll get to them soon enough), but trust me when I say that I mean this in the best

While much is being kept under wraps concerning the details of Star Trek: Picard, we know that Romulans will be part of the main plot, with the destruction of the Romulan homeworld in 2387 (as first mentioned in the 2009 Star Trek film) playing a factor in the series’ narrative and with two Romulan characters featured in

In fictional worlds where heroes and villains who can shrug off bullets like they were nothing, there exists “plot armor” for the more ordinary folks.

This Walking Dead review does not contain spoilers. The Walking Dead Season 10 Episode 1 The Walking Dead season 10 kicks off with the most audacious opening scene in the show’s history.

Valentine’s Day weekend 2020 just got a little bit better. Outlander Season 5 has an official release date and, you guessed it, it is February 2020.

This Van Helsing review contains spoilers.

Deathstroke, DC Comics’ ruthless, cycloptic, sword-swinging mercenary-turned grizzled anti-hero, is currently in the midst of a long-overdue pop culture surge, and it’s not stopping anytime soon, with the The CW’s latest adaptation plans, an animated series!

DC Universe announced a number of new projects at New York Comic Con, and the most stunning announcement is probably BizarroTV.

Warner Bros. is developing a Harley Quinn animated series for its DC Universe streaming service. Harley’s star continues to rise as a character, and Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn was a major factor in the success of the Suicide Squad movie.

This South Park review contains spoilers.  South Park Season 23 Episode 2 One thing I’ll say for this season of South Park is, so far, they’re doing a pretty good job having their serialization cake and eating it too.

This Walking Dead article contains spoilers. Rumors of Rick Grimes’ demise were greatly exaggerated.  AMC made a meal out of promoting The Walking Dead season 9, episode 5, “What Comes After” as “Rick Grimes’ final episode.” Traditionally on The Walking Dead, somebody’s “final episode” means they’re about to suffer a gruesome death. As we now know,

This The Terror review contains spoilers.  The Terror Season 2 Episode 8 The Terror: Infamy falls back into bad habits in the oddly paced and questionably written “My Sweet Boy.” Despite a run of excellent episodes that solved a few mysteries and introduced some new ones, the show seems content with just getting to the

More than anyone, Adult Swim knows that animation can take you to a wide variety of times and places. So for the networks’s next offering, they’re going all the way back to pre-history.

The Walking Dead apparently doesn’t need Rick Grimes to survive AMC’s apocalyptic ax. It’s doing well enough on its own, according to the network, which has renewed cable’s premier zombie drama for season 10.  AMC made the announcement on Twitter with a video featuring Samantha Morton’s Alpha and her creepy band of flesh-wearing Whisperers.

Night Shyamalan’s return to television, a medium in which he last endured the 2016 cancellation of his secretly-post-apocalyptic Fox television series, Wayward Pines, after two seasons.
