As noted in a recent New York Times interview with Harington, nearly 2 million people signed a viral petition that called showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss "woefully incompetent," and asked for HBO to remake "a final season that makes sense." Harington was "genuinely angered" by this, he told the outlet in his profile published on Jan. 11. "Like, how dare you? Sorry, that's just how I feel. I think it was a level of idiocy that can only come about through social media."
"Someone dies," she revealed to ET at the 2026 Golden Globes. And she was as shocked as fans may be, saying she "stood up on my couch" while reading the script. However, she refrained from providing specifics. "I won't tell you who," she affirmed, only calling it a "wild play" and "wild behavior," meaning it's time for Reddit to dig out their magnifying glasses.
Charlie Brooker's dystopian anthology series Black Mirror has been making us face the dark side of technology for 15 years now. In 2011, that meant live TV ransoms and capitalist reality shows. But last year, in Season 7, we saw memories brought to life, emotions run on subscription models, and the Hollywood remake machine going very literal. In the age of AI popping up everywhere, Black Mirror isn't going to stop reflecting real life any time soon - but what could possibly be next?
Heated Rivalry is becoming such a global sensation, Russian fans are defying the country's LGBTQ+ propaganda laws just to watch it. The Canadian romantic sports drama series has quickly become one of the biggest television sensations since its release in November. Based on an instalment of author Rachel Reid's Game Changers series, the show follows two rival professional hockey players as they develop feelings for one another and enjoy a multi-year-long secret love story.
Founded in 1967, the NAACP Image Awards were established by Toni Vaz to honor talented Black creatives and the producers who carved out spaces for them. The first ceremony was held at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel. Over the decades, the awards have become a beacon of joy and excellence, expanding from modest programming on NBC to live broadcasts on Fox to its current home on BET. The theme of this year's broadcast, which will be hosted by Deon Cole, is fittingly "We See You."
Savannah, I was telling them how I called you the other week for you not to answer, so your voicemail would play, but you answered and just clapped over and over again like a seal," joked Jenna Bush Hager.
Cohen, now 47, isn't on about rugby though. He's talking about pounding Home And Away star Axle Whitehead, clawing his way through dirt tunnels in the Marrakech desert, and being forced to submerge himself underwater, holding his breath for dear life. Which brings us to his caveat. "I'd wanna quit the entire time," he says, but yes, "I'd do it again in a heartbeat."
As much as people like to insist otherwise, when you regularly socialize with the same five or more people, not everyone gets along at the same level of camaraderie or intimacy. There are some people you only chat with in the group chat and never hang out with one-on-one, because you may all love each other, but your individual personalities don't mesh - at best, your natural friction emerges in a battle of competing memes on WhatsApp or arguments around who to Venmo.
This year's Super Bowl alternative, the annual Puppy Bowl, just introduced its tiny yapping dog contestants with names like Chappell Bone and RuPaw, but an SF entrant named Foggy may steal the show at this particular puppy play-off. We are now less than one month out from Super Bowl 60, which is of course being played right here in the Bay Area, and just might, fingers crossed, feature the San Francisco 49ers.
In many serialized dramas, the climax of a given season lands in the penultimate episode; think of the dramatic battles and major character deaths of Game of Thrones or, further back, The Sopranos and The Wire. But Landman isn't like most dramas. Tonight's penultimate episode of season two feels like an anti-climax - not just a letdown generally, but the diametric opposite of a climax.
Genndy Tartakovsky thought he was done with . And by all accounts, he was. The second season of his acclaimed Adult Swim animated series - which had earned universal praise for its wildly imaginative (and wildly gory) story of a Neanderthal named Spear who strikes up an unlikely friendship with a Tyrannosaurus rex named Fang - ended on a pretty definitive note: Spear had perished, having sacrificed himself in a climactic battle with a vengeful Viking spirit. But his story lived on in the shape of his daughter with Mira, who we see setting off on adventures on the back of one of Fang's children.
It is niche, says Down. We don't write to any kind of brief. We don't write what we think is going to be interesting to other people or commercial. For every 10 people that don't understand a reference or the thing we're trying to do with the costume or the subtle hint we're making about someone's class, there'll be one person that gets it.
Michelle Doherty has almost come to the end of her trip home to Donegal for Christmas the day we talk. The former Xposé host and ­radio DJ, who still models, is in her sister's house. On the bed beside her is a pile of clothes that have been loaned for the pictures being taken for this piece. It's been a "weird" Christmas, she admits.
When the final viewership data became available for the NFL's three Thanksgiving games this season, the numbers were so staggering that an impromptu conference call among the involved networks' chief sports honchos was called to essentially bask in the success. I'd never realized back-slapping was possible over a phone call until then. There was no such collective CEO celebration this week when the NFL's final 2025 viewership numbers were released by Nielsen Media Research on Tuesday and Wednesday.
These are very good tickets. You're in the camera block, near the red contestant's friends and family. So there's something I need to know. If the camera is on you, are you going to duck and hide and get all embarrassed? Or are you going to go absolutely flipping mental? I've been up until the early hours painting portraits of my favourite Gladiators with the precise hope of making it on to the telly.
In the 21st century, superhero stories are often judged on how realistic they are - how "gritty," how dark, how "adult." It's never been more visible than with Batman. Between Christopher Nolan's take in the Dark Knight trilogy and the still-ongoing takes by Matt Reeves, it seems like the Caped Crusader was built for the Nirvana-scored, brooding tone of tragic flashbacks and smeared eyeliner.
It's possible that you've been aware of a rumor across the last few years that Kendall is actually a lesbian, and has resisted coming out publicly for fear of damaging the KarJenner dynasty. (For the record, this is all news to me - but, hey, information travels in many different ways.) Well, Kendall recently appeared on Owen Thiele's In My Dreams podcast, and she responded to the rumors head-on. Her response was very interesting!
