Hey, white women, was the end of this week’s The Handmaid’s Tale episode hard to watch? Do something.

Marvel Television’s Co-Head, Jim Chory, Leaves His Post

This could be a big shakeup: Jim Chory, the co-lead of Marvel Television, has left the company. According to Deadline, Chory, who oversaw physical production, left several weeks ago of his own volition. Chory, who built the studio alongside Head Jeph Loeb, served as executive producer on all of Marvel’s live-action programming. Before working for…

Meet the New Characters on Preacher and Get More Than a Little Creeped Out

One of the best things about AMC’s Preacher is just how weird it can be. One minute, it’s just a bunch of friends driving in a car. The next minute, Hitler is trying to break out of hell. At any second, basically anything can happen. The third season of the show premieres June 24 on…

These Watchmen Set Pictures Seemingly Reveal the Fate of a Major Comic Character

Damon Lindelof recently penned a lengthy letter to fans explaining that his Watchmen television show for HBO would be set in a world that exists after the events of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ beloved comic series. Now, an early set photo might have revealed just how different that world is. Set pictures sent to…

Honestly, What the Hell, Supergirl

After Supergirl aired what was arguably its worst episode last week, it seemed like the show could go nowhere but up. And it did! This week’s episode was infinitely better. And yet, it was also a thousand plots a minute. Things went down so fast, and were so incredibly camp—without much of Supergirl’s trademark heart…

All Hail the Queen of Harlem in the New Luke Cage Trailer

“Harlem doesn’t need a hero. It needs a queen.” The incredible Alfre Woodard is back and ready to take Harlem under her wing in the latest trailer for Netflix’s Luke Cage—but there are a couple others eager to take the reigns. The latest trailer focuses on Woodward’s Mariah Dillard, a Harlem councilwoman who claims she…

Turns Out Westworld Has a Heart After All

This week’s Westworld, “Kiksuya,” brought an oft-seen but mostly-silent supporting character into the spotlight, and used his incredible story to give us new perspective on the Hosts’ awareness. It was a poetic, and frankly rather refreshing, detour from the show’s main narrative. We have to begin with the “previously on Westworld” montage, because (thanks to…

For Now, Marvel’s Upcoming TV Shows Will Be Set Before Avengers: Infinity War

The question of just how Marvel’s televisual output will react to Avengers: Infinity War’s universe-rattling ending has been pinging around pretty much since the movie dropped—especially since Agents of SHIELD danced so very close to incorporating it this season. But now we have an answer, for better or worse. Marvel TV chief Jeph Loeb conducted…

The Handmaid’s Tale May Have Just Put the First Crack in Gilead’s Ugly Facade

You can never be quite sure about who to trust in Gilead (basically no one), but June’s uneasy dance to survive there just got a lot harder.

The Original VFX Team Behind Firefly Made the Best Anniversary Video in the ‘Verse

It’s been just over 15 years since Firefly fans were introduced to Captain Mal and the crew of the Serenity, and almost as long since those same fans began desperately waiting for the show to come back from cancellation. That’s probably really unlikely at this point, but you can dream a little with this gorgeous…

The First Trailer for Voltron‘s Sixth Season Finds the Paladins in the Midst of an All-Out War

When the Paladins made the decision to team up with Lotor in Voltron: Legendary Defender’s fifth season, they did it out of the desire to stop Zarkon, the greater of two evils and Lotor’s father. Unsurprisingly, that choice comes with some major consequences that feature largely in the sixth season’s first Netflix trailer. Even with…

Noah Hawley Gives an Update on the Doctor Doom Movie

Get a look at Stephanie Beatriz’s new Lego Movie 2 villain. Evan Peters teases the dramatic struggles of Dark Phoenix. Purported audition reels for Doom Patrol tease a very sweary version of Cyborg. Plus, bad news for Shadowhunters, new footage from Ant-Man and The Wasp, and what’s to come on Supergirl’s finale. Spoilers! Doctor Doom…

Reverie Is Black Mirror for People Who Hate, Fear, and Do Not Understand Anything About Technology

I wasn’t planning on watching Reverie. NBC’s crime drama about scifi dream magic is dumb summer fodder that’ll be gone before you know it. But I’m going to go there and say everyone needs to check it out. Why? Because you may never find a better example of a network taking good scifi genre television…

Pro-Trump Media Dude Reportedly Has an Offer Even Roseanne Could Refuse

Roseanne Barr, far-right conspiracy theorist and eponymous star of ABC’s Roseanne, imploded in an entirely predictable fashion this week when she sent out a racist tweet about former President Barack Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett and later blamed Ambien. In the space of less than a day, ABC terminated the rebooted franchise, and other networks as…

Hulu Scrambles to Pull All Reruns of Roseanne After Star’s Racist Tweet

The torturous situation caused by TV star and far-right conspiracy theorist Roseanne Barr, whose 90s-era show Roseanne was revived for 2018 in some kind of horribly misguided effort to appeal to Donald Trump supporters, culminated in a predictable implosion this week. Barr—who has been tweeting for months about the 4chan-born Qanon theory that ludicrously alleges…

In the Latest Trailer, Big Hero 6 Is So, So Ready for Its Full Series Debut

And we are, too. I’ve been waiting a long time for Big Hero 6: The Series, the television adaptation of the 2014 movie starring Hiro, Baymax, and their super friends. The saga of the show has been a little uneven: after a lot of excitement, Disney aired a TV movie, Baymax Returns, last fall, and…
