To say that the debut of House of the Dragon was a success would be an understatement. There was a lot of pressure on the production team as the entire world, regardless of their opinions on the Game of Thrones finale, gathered around their screens to judge the story of House Targaryen.
Fortunately, the show did not disappoint in the slightest. In fact, all reactions to the pilot were so overwhelmingly positive that HBO renewed the show the day after its premiere. However, it seems that the premiere of the second season didn't quite live up to expectations. Or did it?

Knowing the excellence of House of the Dragon, some hardcore fans of the show expected the second season to repeat that success. But when the difference in ratings between the first and second season premieres made headlines, they began to worry about the show's future.

Production has officially started for the highly anticipated HBO Original drama series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms in Belfast, Ireland. The series, based on George R. R. Martin’s novella The Hedge Knight, serves as a prequel to the events of Game of Thrones and is set a century before the epic saga. Max has just announced the cast of this new Game of Thrones prequel.

Here’s the official synopsis of the show:
“A century before the events of “Game of Thrones,” two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros… a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg.

Dogs are man’s best friend for many great reasons. The first episode of House of the Dragon season 2 offered a glimpse into the same by pairing Cheese with a scraggy dog that lives on the streets. However, the story of that same dog is very different in reality. A true celebrity, the dog in House of the Dragon is named Bobby.

Bobby’s ticket to Hollywood started with the movie Cruella. More recently, he plays Cheese’s companion in the latest episode of House of the Dragon season 2. For those who have seen the episode, you can understand the public outrage over Cheese kicking the dog to push him away. Fans have not been happy with the way the dog was treated and have expressed their fury on social media.

Young Sheldon presented an interesting case study for Nielsen in May.
The series ended its seven-season run on CBS with big viewership while also continuing to dominate across cable streaming as well. The Season 7 finale tallied 11.7M views in L+7, according to Nielsen, which contributed to an overall monthly total of 6B minutes viewed for the series across platforms.
Nielsen reports that Young Sheldon puts up “considerable viewership” in syndication, as reruns air across networks like TBS and Nick-At-Nite — and the series also benefits from a broad streaming presence. It is currently available on Paramount+, Netflix, and Max.
Apparently, Young Sheldon viewership in May was split nearly in half between linear channels and streaming. Undoubtedly, much of that streaming viewership came from Netflix, considering that the series was previously available on both Paramount+ and Max with not nearly as much attention. While the show’s end likely played a part,...

Adrian Arredondo & Myrna Perez Prepping Doc ‘Take It Away’ On Tejano Singer & TV Host Johnny Canales

Exclusive: Johnny Canales, the famed Tejano singer and Mexican American TV host who passed away on June 13, is the subject of Take It Away, a new feature doc from Adrian Arredondo and Myrna Perez that has entered production.
In a moment when Latino music and artists like Peso Pluma, Grupo Frontera, and Bad Bunny are dominating the charts, the film explores the origins of Latin music’s rise through The Johnny Canales Show — a space where, beginning in the 1980s, every Latino in America felt seen, free to be unapologetically themselves, and part of a larger movement.
Ushering in the golden age of Tejano music and the “Decade of the Hispanic,” Canales and his TV show became a microcosm of the Latino experience in America.
The film will be exec produced by Texas Monthly and Trojan Horse Media, as well as Arredondo and Perez. CAA Media Finance reps worldwide distribution rights.

[This story contains major spoilers from the season two premiere of House of the Dragon.]
The House of the Dragon premiere’s “Blood and Cheese” ending was a shock to everyone in the audience, with a few key exceptions: those who read George R.R. Martin’s source material, those who read about the source material and those who encountered the spoilers ahead of time. Add one prominent name to that last category: Phia Saban, the actress who plays Queen Helaena.
Blood and Cheese are the assassins Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) hired to murder Prince Aemond (Ewan Mitchell). But the duo instead stumble upon Queen Helaena Targaryen (Saban) and her toddler twins, Jaehaerys and Jaehaera. They demand Helaena tell them which is Jaehaerys, and kill the child in his bed.

Spoiler Alert: This post contains spoilers for Episode 1 of Season 2 of House of the Dragon.
A long-awaited return to Westeros in the time of Daenerys Targaryen’s ancestors took place in Season 2 of the Game of Thrones spinoff show House of the Dragon, which launched Sunday night on HBO and Max. The first episode of the second season took no time in plunging viewers back into the violence and backstabbing that prove key to the series.
In the background of the bloody fight for The Iron Throne, a key plot point — The Blood and Cheese murder — from George R. R. Martin’s book — saw some changes at the end of Episode 1, titled “A Son For A Son.”
As viewers will recall, Season 1 ended with the tragic death of Rhaenyra’s (Emma D’Arcy) son Lucerys or “Luke” (Elliot Grihault) at the hands of Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell) and his dragon Vhagar.

Relationships are a hot mess in the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon. The Targaryen dynasty descended into civil war when these long-suppressed feelings began to manifest. Nevertheless, some exchanges happened right beneath our noses; one such instance involves the dowager Queen Alicent and her guardian, Criston Cole, and may surprise many.
Alicent Hightower and Criston Cole get freaky in House of the Dragon Season 2 premiere
Alicent Hightower has been the model of morality from the start of House of the Dragon Season 1. It was she who gave up all for honor and duty. But she, too, becomes chaotic as the realm does. As the dowager queen and her guardian, Criston Cole, get more intimate, they wind up dancing in bed when they ought to be someplace else. Their s*x scene occurs at the same time Blood and Cheese are in the castle, looking for a “son” to kill.

But other exchanges happened right beneath our noses; one particularly surprising one included dowager Queen Alicent and her guardian, Criston Cole.

Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen is one of the gray personalities in the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon. Rhaenyra’s affection and concern for her children is one of the many redeeming qualities in Emma D’Arcy‘s portrayal of her. That’s one of the reasons the Season 1 conclusion of House of the Dragon was so heartbreaking. Now, with Season 2 here, we got to see a few more heartbreaking moments with Rhaenyra in the premiere, as she discovers Lucerys’ remains found by the fisher folk.

With one of the greatest TV program openings ever, Game of Thrones set a high standard for prequel House of the Dragon. Ramin Djawadi is a well-known composer whose scores are used for both title themes. Additionally, they both display the events that have occurred historically in the program thus far. Season 2 has just arrived with a fresh intro scene.
House of the Dragon intro continues the Targaryen saga
Just like Season 1, House of the Dragon Season 2 continues the story of the Targaryen Bloodline, but instead of a model, it is now a tapestry. The bloodstream follows where it left off, a deceased Aemma and Viserys. Next, we see the death of Lucerys being registered in the flow, with his symbol being drenched in blood.

Olivia Cooke plays Alicent Hightower in the Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon, and the Season 2 of the show is almost here. The relationship between Alicent Hightower and Ser Criston Cole, knight of the Kingsguard, has been an interesting and complex one in the series, and we know we’re likely seeing a bedroom scene between the two in Season 2. However, there appears to be another one that has been cut from the show. In a recent interview with Elle, Olivia Cooke discussed this deleted scene, and more.

Hayao Miyazaki, one of the legends in the anime industry, is known for anime movies that have taken him and Studio Ghibli to the top of the game. He has not only earned fame in Japan but has also become a popular name all over the world. His worldwide fame came from the first Oscar-winning movie he made, Spirited Away.
Spirited Away (2001) | Studio Ghibli
Spirited Away follows the adventures of Chihiro Ogino, a young ten-year-old girl who accidentally enters the world of spirits and is forced to work in the bathhouse of an evil witch called Yubaba to free her parents, who have been transformed into pigs. It is the 12th animated film written and directed by Miyazaki and the first to earn him an Academy Award.

Though they had some similarities, like working in science and having a lack of experience when it came to socializing outside of their circle, they were different, and each of them relatable in their own way.
Of course, the majority of people were intended to relate the most to Penny, who was a vessel, providing the outsider’s look within the group. However, the rest of the cast still receives a lot of praise from the viewers as well. There is only one thing the fans would’ve done differently, if they had the creative control.

Raj Koothrappali and Howard Wolowitz are two of the most talked about, loved, and controversial nerd friends ever.

The second season of House of the Dragon is almost here, and it will include one of the most brutal moments from the history of Westeros: Blood and Cheese. While this scene is horrifying, showrunner Ryan Condal doesn’t think it’s on par with the most heartbreaking moment in Game of Thrones.

GamesRadar interviewed Ryan Condal about the upcoming season and asked about the pressure of bringing such a dark moment to the screen. There have been inevitable comparisons to the shocking scenes in Game of Thrones, specifically the Red Wedding, where the Starks were massacred. Condal said:
“It’s all about telling the story and the character’s journey. I do disagree a bit with the comparison.

Netflix may be giving its viewers a little more nostalgia for 2000s flicks by constantly dropping Adam Sandler’s best comedies since the beginning of this year, but Max seems to be down for the actor’s more dramatical takes, as the streaming added Sandler’s big hit to its collection several days ago.

Ahead of Sunday’s Season 2 premiere, HBO has confirmed it has renewed House of the Dragon for a third season.
The news is not a surprise. House of the Dragon creator George R.R. Martin teased in December 2023 that he was already working with the writing team on Seasons 3 and 4 of the fantasy drama.
Based on Martin’s Fire & Blood and set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon tells the story of House Targaryen.
“George, Ryan, and the rest of our incredible executive producers, cast, and crew, have reached new heights with the phenomenal second season of House of the Dragon,” said Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, Head of HBO Drama Series and Films. “We are in awe of the dragon-sized effort the entire team has put into the creation of a spectacular season two, with a scope and scale that is only rivaled by its heart.

Matt Damon has a handful of unforgettable roles in his filmography, but his work in the Bourne franchise will always remain the most iconic. With the three films based on the novels by Robert Ludlum, Matt Damon revamped the action genre before finally saying goodbye to the franchise after the fifth film, Jason Bourne (2016). He was not a part of the fourth installment, Jason Bourne.

Needless to say, filming the Bourne films was a one-of-a-kind experience for Matt Damon, but he went on to do another film that reminded him of his time on the action franchise – The Martian (2015). Since the films belong to totally different genres, it was not the story that took Matt Damon back to Bourne. Rather, it was the experience he had on the sets.

Actor Tom Hardy once picked up where Mel Gibson left off by starring in 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road. But he once revealed there might’ve been more Mad Max sequels in his future.

Hardy had been attached to Mad Max for a number of years before it officially hit theaters. The actor confided that he couldn’t have been more excited to be a part of the franchise. Although he admitted there was a lot of pressure in doing the movie, and inheriting the role that helped make Gibson famous.
“There were many, many actors that would probably be right for Mad Max and there’s many out there who could probably do an exceptional job to portray him. It’s especially a challenge to step in the shoes of such an iconic character. I...

Is anyone going to end up buying Paramount Global? The odds are increasing tilting toward no, as the company has broken off merger talks with Skydance Media this week. Those discussions were further along than any other potential deal for Paramount, and while a major transaction involving the entire company is still possible, the chances are better that any future deal involving the legacy media firm will include a divestiture of some of its assets. Paramount could also decide to go it alone, but it finds itself in a precarious position financially, and if it decided to sell off its broadcast channel CBS as a way to save money in the future, Warner Bros. Discovery should be doing whatever it can to get its hands on the network.

“I have nothing to hide and I want to live a more open life than the one that I did,” said Kevin Spacey in his first lengthy interview since winning most of the sexual misconduct suits against him over the past several years. (The actor did have a much shorter conversation with NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo last month.)
Today’s hour-plus interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored covered not just the allegations against him, but the two time Oscar winner’s mental state, his sexuality, his childhood and his much-impacted finances.
Spacey choked up as he said his home in Baltimore is in foreclosure and would be auctioned at a fire sale.
“I’m not quite sure where I’m going to live now,” said Spacey, who also maintains that he is broke and still owes millions in legal fees.

Matt Smith is being praised online for gently course-correcting a red carpet interview in which a reporter misgendered his “House of the Dragon” co-star Emma D’Arcy. Smith and D’Arcy star on the “Game of Thrones” prequel series as Daemon and Rhaenyra Targaryen, respectively.
During an interview at the “House of the Dragon” Season 2 premiere in London, Smith chatted with reporter Sue Perkins on the red carpet about the climactic moment in the first season finale where Daemon informs Rhaenyra about the death of her son, Lucerys. Perkins, who hosts Sky’s fan show “House of the Dragon: War Room,” incorrectly used “she” pronouns when referring to D’Arcy. Perks said she spoke to D’Arcy earlier on the red carpet and “she gave you all the credit” for the scene.
“I can’t take the credit, [but] I have to say, aren’t they brilliant?” Smith answered, using D’Arcy’s preferred “they/them” pronouns.

Der President & CEO Global Streaming bei Warner Bros. Discovery, Jb Perrette, hat sich in einem Interview auch zum Deutschlandstart des Streamingdienstes Max geäußert. Vor dem Hintergrund des heutigen Max-Launch in Frankreich sprach der Streaming-Chef ebenso über die drei wichtigen europäischen Märkte Deutschland, Großbritannien und Italien, in denen es einen Exklusiv-Deal über Wbd-Inhalte mit Sky gibt.
„Wir werden in den nächsten zwei Jahren auch nach Großbritannien, Deutschland und Italien kommen“, sagte Perrette im Bezug auf den Streamingdienst Max. Laut diverser Quellen läuft der Exklusiv-Deal zwischen Wbd und Sky Ende 2025 aus. Das passt genau auf die Formulierung Perrettes. Es ist also nicht davon auszugehen, dass Wbd noch aus dem Vertrag aussteigen wird.

Season 2 of House of the Dragon is almost here. The show is a prequel set before the events of Game of Thrones. Season 1 set up the conflict between the two factions of the Targaryen family, the Blacks and the Greens. Season 2 will launch into the Dance of the Dragons civil war.
Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen leads the Blacks, and King Aegon II Targaryen leads the Greens. The two sides will vie for their claim on the Iron Throne.
Season 2 will see many changes in how the story is told. Most importantly, we won’t have timejumps like in season 1. The story will be told in a much more linear fashion. Besides this, reports state that a new version of the opening credits for Season 2 will be added. Showrunner Ryan Condal commented further on adding this new intro during a Season 2 press roundtable.

The Madame Web actress made her name known all around the world with the erotic drama trilogy Fifty Shades of Grey (2015 - 2018) and the horror film Suspiria (2018). However, Dakota Johnson is also very much of a comedy performer.
Although the romantic comedy How to Be Single (2016) and the dramedy The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019), that starred the actress, weren’t quite successful, the 2022 movie that is now holding the second place on HBO’s global top is truly a must-watch.
The plot of this comedy-drama revolves around Lucy, a 32-year-old woman who seems not to make it through coming of age yet. Her only interest in life is her best friend Jane, who is about to leave her soon as she announces her moving to London.
It’s high time for Lucy to figure out who she really is and what kind of feelings she has for Jane. As she reveals a long-held secret,...

It’s high time for Lucy to figure out who she really is and what kind of feelings she has for Jane. As she reveals a long-held secret,...

Premiering on November 29, 2019, ‘Harley Quinn’ got critical acclaim for its animation, adult-oriented humor, and portrayal of the protagonist. The first two seasons aired on DC Universe, with the third on HBO Max and the fourth on Max. A special episode aired in February 2023, and in November 2023, the series was renewed for a fifth season.
The season 4 finale left fans hungry for more content, as the story, even with humor mixed in only got more brutal. Luckily, we finally have a release date window for Season 5.
Season 5 of ‘Harley Quinn’ is set to be released in 2024 as ‘The Direct’ managed to verify.
Previous seasons of Harley Quinn had varying release schedules. Season 1 premiered in late November 2019, Season 2 arrived on Max in April 2020, and Seasons 3 and 4 were released in July of 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Season 5 seems unaffected by the 2023 actors’ and writers’ strikes, as Season 4 aired during both periods.

In January 2020, Adil and Bilall began to ride high. The Belgian directing duo’s American debut, Bad Boys for Life, set a franchise record with $424 million, becoming the highest grossing domestic film of the pandemic-stricken year. That fall, they joined the MCU’s Ms. Marvel and helmed the first two episodes of Kamala Khan’s coming-of-age superhero series. Led by Iman Vellani, the Disney+ show would eventually garner critical acclaim, especially Adil and Bilall’s outings, which added some much-welcomed visual flourishes to Earth-616. Then, in the spring of 2021, the filmmakers extended their hot streak when they signed on to direct the Dceu’s Batgirl for HBO Max. And to top it all off, in May of 2022, their Belgian film, Rebel, premiered at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival to strong reviews.

Matt Smith may play a fan-favorite Targaryen right now, but there was another Targaryen descendant who has always had fan support for being the best Game of Thrones character. Fans may get riled up for that exact reason at Smith’s recent comments on who would win a battle between Daemon Targaryen and Jon Snow. Smith shared that Daemon would emerge victorious over Kit Harington’s Jon Snow in such a scenario.

Such a fight would never take place in the Game of Thrones universe because of the 200-year gap between the storylines. However, Smith shared that his character’s ownership of the large red dragon Caraxes would make him a clear winner over Jon Snow.

“Ezra,” the story of a stand-up comic embarking on a road trip with his autistic son, is the kind of movie that Hollywood doesn’t make much anymore. It’s not based on a toy or a comic book; instead it’s a warm-hearted, deeply human story without much in the way of special effects. But the movie, which opened last weekend in the height of summer popcorn season, is exactly what Closer Media, the new film and television company that backed the production, was founded to champion.
“We want to tell stories from all over the world that are meaningful and that can bring people closer together,” says Zhang Xin, noting that Closer’s mission statement is right there in its name. “When a project comes to us, we ask does it move our heart and does it open our eyes?”

The Game of Thrones prequel House of Dragon has so far had a good run and has quickly become one of the best fantasy shows of all time. Created by George R. R. Martin and Ryan Condal, the show takes place nearly 200 years before the events of the original series. Featuring how the House Targaryen lost its influence and the war of succession that followed, the show nonetheless has had spectacular reviews and reactions.

Yet there have been moments and events that fans found issues with. One of the most significant issues of the series is the development of Matt Smith’s Daemon Targaryen, which fans have to view more as hero-like. But in an interview, Condal clarified he is not like Han Solo-like character.

The sci-fi genre has always been one of the most beloved among cinephiles as it gives us a new look at a particular technology or our world. There was a time when Max (formerly known as HBO Max) was the place for peak sci-fi shows but after taking off Westworld and Raised by Wolves from the service, and since then it has been lacking a bit regarding sci-fi shows. But still, we picked the seven best sci-fi shows that we could find on Max.

House of the Dragon co-creator Ryan Condal had Matt Smith’s face in mind when he wrote the role of Daemon Targaryen in the series. Soon, he met with Smith to discuss the role along with co-showrunner Miguel Sapochnik in 2020. Smith agreed to the role but he had his concerns about the series. He was worried that the series came too soon after Game of Thrones ended and that audiences had already seen this story.

Smith’s concerns were unfounded as the first season of the series received an overwhelmingly positive response from GoT fans. He is all set to return to the role in HoTD Season 2, which will focus on the Dance of the Dragons, the Targaryen Civil War between Rhaenyra’s team Black and Alicent’s team Green.
