The moment Alaska governor Sarah Palin first came to the world stage as John McCain's running mate in the 2008 presidential elections, we knew that her larger-than-life personality would become the stuff of parody and portrayal from years to come. Once we finished laughing at Tina Fey's dead-on impression, the tone turned serious as HBO's 'Game Change' garnered multiple Emmys with Julianne Moore in the lead role.
Now, the original 'Game Change' writers have begun work on a sequel covering the 2012 elections between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, titled 'Double Down: Game Change 2012,' and guess what HBO wants to do with it?
'Doctor Who' has never had any trouble attracting the UK's top actors for guest spots, recent years featuring the likes of Michael Gambon, Kylie Minogue and Timothy Dalton, but its greyest star might have outshone them all. We've been following news of the 2012 'Doctor Who' Christmas Special "The Snowmen" for some time, but no news has been so huge as that of Gandalf himself, Sir Ian McKellen guesting in the episode! Find out who Ian McKellen will bring to life in the 'Doctor Who' universe inside!
Showtime is about to have some major holes in its schedule created by the respective finales of both 'Dexter's seventh season and 'Homeland's sophomore run, and even with the returning Sunday lineup of 'Shameless,' 'House of Lies' and 'Californication' plenty of new dramas are waiting in the wings. Enter 'Masters of Sex' and 'Ray Donovan' putting together an impressive mix of stars that includes Michael Sheen, Lizzay Caplan, Liev Schrieber and even John Voight! Are you ready for a first look at Showtime's new dramas?
And so, it has come to this. Eleven episodes in to 'Dexter' season 7, with one left to end it all that may well see Dexter in handcuffs, finally exposed as the Bay Harbor Butcher. But could 'Dexter' really be so bold as to have LaGuerta's investigation finally expose its titular killer? Will Hannah McKay stay quiet about Dexter's dark side? Whose side will Deb ultimately land on? Check out the latest clips from season finale "Surprise, Motherf---er" to find out!
Sure, we were sad to hear that ABC opted not to renew 'Last Resort,' which maintained relatively meager rating in its initial run despite being recieved as one of the better offerings of the season. But one good show's loss is another of our favorite's gain, as the cancellation frees up series star Robert Patrick to join 'True Blood' full time! The one-time 'Terminator 2' star will return to Bon Temps as Jackson Herveaux, father to Alcide and newly minted series regular, but does that mean the werewolves will have a bigger story?
While a number of cable networks across the board have set their sights on developing more original programming, Bravo is dead set on the dark. Previously we'd heard that the network had its eye on developing a TV sequel series to the classic 'Heathers,' but now it seems the talk has turned to another classic, similarly morbid film. Both Bravo and director Robert Zemeckis have turned their heads toward breathing life into 'Death Becomes Her,' but will it leave us feeling holed?
Late last week we talked about Starz looking to shore itself up on the drama side, what with the cancellation of 'Boss,' and the imminent end of one of the network's star attractions in 'Spartacus: War of the Damned.' 'Magic City' will soon resume, along with premieres of 'Da Vinci's Demons,' 'The White Queen' and one day 'Black Sails,' but what new venture with 'Chronicle' producer Adam Schroeder could literally take Starz into the future? Will it be another case of 'Human Error?'
While some believe the second season of Showtime's award-winning counter-terrorism drama 'Homeland' stumbled a bit from its Emmy glory, viewers everywhere remain on the edge of their seats to see how Carrie Matheson will close out the second season. Will Nicholas Brody live to foil Abu Nazir's terrorist plots another day? Will things ever go smoothly for Saul? Will Carrie have another one of her jazz freakouts? New photos from season finale "The Choice" may just give away the answer!
There were many that bemoaned that 'Fringe' seemed to borrow from the classic 'X-Files' set up of an opposite-sex team investigating the paranormal, but across five seasons 'Fringe' managed to differentiate itself in ways that have come to make it one of the more beloved sci-fi series in years. Can the same be said of ABC's upcoming drama 'Weird Desk,' which once again sees two partners looking into the void for its summer 2013 run? Judge for yourself inside...
With each passing episode, 'Fringe' gets closer and closer to its series finale and 100th episode "An Enemy of Fate," which began production this week following a celebration of the cult sci-fi hit's five-year run. The final season will resume with this Friday's "The Human Kind," but plenty of mysteries are left between now and then. In particular, we've been wondering; will sci-fi icon Leonard Nimoy's William Bell return, more than just his hand? New details from show-runner J.H. Wyman inside!
Many classic but cancelled series hold the distinction of featuring a number of A-list stars before making their big breaks, but few hold such a distinguished roster as Judd Apatow's cancelled 2000 NBC series 'Freaks and Geeks.' The retro series featured the likes of James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Linda Cardellini, Lizzy Caplan, Busy Philipps, Martin Starr and even Thomas Wilson (Biff of 'Back to the Future'), despite only running 18 episodes. Twelve years later, are you ready to see the entire cast reunite?
We don't yet know if NBC's '30 Rock' will find a place to return Elizabeth Banks as Jack Donaghy's now-ex-wife Avery Jessup, but ABC's 'Modern Family' isn't about to leave the 'Hunger Games' star in need of work. We've just learned that Banks will reprise her 'Modern Family' character from way back in season 1, filming her role next week for a 2013 episode. Will she be the same wild party girl, or have a 'Modern Family' of her own?
