How to Fix What’s Wrong With Game of Thrones

Winter hasn’t arrived yet on Game of Thrones, but there’s still a bit of “winter of our discontent” going on. Season five veered way off George R.R. Martin’s road, with shall we say mixed results. Here’s how to get Thrones back on its game. Spoilers for everything that’s aired on television or published in book…

It Looks Like That Krypton TV Show Is Finally Happening

Waaay back in December 2014, we reported that Syfy was working with David S. Goyer on a Gotham-style origin story for Superman—to be called, naturally, Krypton. Then we sorta forgot about it, until today’s announcement that Krypton is very close to getting a pilot order at last. Honestly, we’re not sure what to make of…

A Walking Dead Producer Will Adapt the Horror Podcast Lore for TV

Powerhouse producer Gale Anne Hurd (The Walking Dead, Aliens, The Terminator) just debuted her latest TV project, Hunters, on Syfy. But that doesn’t mean she’s taking it easy.

Sansa Stark Would Make a Much Better Queen of Westeros Than Daenerys

Whenever Game of Thrones ends, it’s safe to say that poor Tommen Baratheon won’t be sitting on the Iron Throne. The entire series (minus a few evil magical ice zombies) is about people jockeying to become the ruler of Westeros, with most signs pointing to the exiled Daenerys finally returning home and reclaiming the Seven…

Lifetime to Bring Supernatural Sea Monster Romance Books to TV

We were still reacting to Lifetime’s new horror-themed Shakespeare anthology, A Midsummer’s Nightmare when we heard about another genre project from the channel: Sea Change, about a science-minded teenage girl who moves to a tiny island, where she finds drama, romance, and… sea monsters? Sea Change is based on Aimee Friedman’s YA best-seller, and will…

The Shannara Chronicles, MTV’s Uneven Game of Thrones Wannabe, Gets a Second Season

We had some majorly mixed feelings about season one of The Shannara Chronicles, MTV’s stab at an epic fantasy TV series. Its characters were thinly drawn, but it looked gorgeous and was often entertaining. Will a just-announced second season allow the show to bring more depth to the story? There’s certainly plenty of source material…

Excellent news if you’re excited for Game of Thrones’ return but don’t have HBO: The channel will be free to view this weekend, giving you access to Sunday night’s broadcast of the season six premiere.

Lifetime Is Turning Shakespeare’s Plays Into a Horror TV Series Because Life Is Pain

It’s called A Midsummer’s Nightmare and I think we can all agree that TV was a noble experiment, but it’s over now. Lifetime has decided to make an anthology series (which are all the rage these days) where each season reimagines different Shakespeare plays as “contemporary horror mysteries.” So either the name is going to…

The Cast and Crew of The Walking Dead Are Lying Liars

The stars and executive producers of The Walking Dead have been doing some major damage control after the infamous season six finale, promising that it was always supposed to be a (terrible) cliffhanger and that showrunner Scott Gimple hasn’t even determined Negan’s victim yet. So, um, why does former TWD star Tyler James Williams know…

IFC’s Horror Comedy Stan Against Evil Has Cast Its Reluctant, Easily Enraged Hero

Back in February, we learned that Simpsons vet Dana Gould was cooking up a horror comedy for IFC called Stan Against Evil, with a premise (crabby middle-aged anti-hero fights demons) that reminded us of Ash vs Evil Dead. Now the show has cast its most important role, and it’s an inspired choice: John C. McGinley.…

Warning: 12 Monkeys Season 2 Is Dangerously Addictive

I’m mad at Syfy. They gave me the first eight episodes of 12 Monkeys season two several weeks ago. And since I watched those episodes, I’ve been on tenterhooks. If you thought 12 Monkeys was fascinating and crack-like in its first season, then you’re going to have a problem when season two starts tonight. No…
