'Game of Thrones' gave fans a bit of a surprise in revealing that Ed Skrein wouldn't reprise his memorable role as Daario Naharis for the fourth season, before 'Treme' star Michiel Huisman eventually stepped up to fill the part and ascended to series regular. Now yet another character from Daenerys Targaryen's (Emilia Clarke) side has been upped to series regular in season 5, suggesting a strong emphasis on Daenerys to come.
Though not entirely surprising given NBC's earlier move to cancel struggling freshman Thursday comedy 'Sean Saves the World,' the network has officially pulled the plug on its more high-profile 'Michael J. Fox Show.' The veteran 'Family Ties' and 'Back to the Future' star had completed work on the 22-episode order, though the remaining episodes may never see the light of day.
While we'd imagine a truckload of pineapples already on its way to USA headquarters right now, a grim but expected day for 'Psych' fans has come. USA has officially decided to make the current eighth season the final bow for the long-running psychic detective comedy starring James Roday and Dule Hill, closing out the series with a March finale that precedes an hour-long live retrospective. And yet, might hope be on the horizon?
'Orange Is the New Black' star Laura Prepon became the subject of a good deal of speculation around the second season of Netflix's breakout drama with reports suggesting she would appear in four out of the upcoming 13 episodes. Now, as an announcement of season 2's premiere looms, series creator Jenji Kohan stepped up to clarify Prepon's season 2 involvement, which apparently is much more than initially thought.
We were excited to learn that the TV superheroes trend turned toward adapting DC's 'Hellblazer' for a 'Constantine' TV series on NBC, even more so when the network officially committed to a pilot installment. Now, the network tapped a familiar 'Game of Thrones' director to helm the comic book adaptation, while a few new casting details emerged, as well.
Much as we love 'The Walking Dead' and the brutal finish that capped off the first half of season 4, we have to admit a bit of disappointment with the most recent trailers for the AMC horror drama's 2014 return. Thankfully, the latest 4-minute preview for the back half of season 4 has loads of new footage, and insight from the cast and crew into what might be the darkest and deepest episodes yet!
Apart from any behind-the-scene sadness, 'The Simpsons' still aims to kill off one of its most iconic characters at some point in the coming year, just like Maude Flanders and Fat Tony (briefly) before. Producers have been rather tight-lipped about which Springfieldian might face the axe, but iconic voice actor and star Hank Azaria isn't shy about crossing a few names from the death pool.
Just when you thought comedy icon Bill Cosby had retired, in spite of his recent "Far from Finished" stand-up (or sit-down) special on Comedy Central, the cultural icon and pudding magnate is at it again. The 76 year-old Cosby will return to NBC decades after 'The Cosby Show' for a new original family sitcom, to both star in and produce.
Just a few weeks' time will see the late night landscape dramatically shift, as 'Late Night' host Jimmy Fallon finally takes the 'Tonight Show' throne from Jay Leno, and 'SNL' veteran Seth Meyers joins 'Late Night' in his wake. Fallon has tapped cinema icon Will Smith and Irish rockers U2 for his inaugural 'Tonight Show' gig, but who will join Seth Meyers on the couch?
'The Simpsons' has made countless headlines over the last year with its tributes to famed artists, LEGO tie-ins and memorial content, but the biggest story won't hit until late 2014.
