HBO Picked Up “House Of The Dragon” For A Second Season

August 26, 2022 / Posted by:

This past Sunday, the Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon, premiered on HBO. So many people tried to stream it at once that HBO Max actually crashed for some users. By the next morning, the premiere had scored 10 million viewers, making it the biggest series debut in HBO history. Five days later, another 10 million people jumped on the bandwagon. It’s a hit, a very palpable hit! And today, HBO announced that they’ve already renewed the show for a second season. Ugh, I hate to say it, but… I’m in. And if House of the Dragon shits the bed harder than Game of Thrones did in its final season, I only have myself to blame. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice? I’m a bigger moron than anyone who ever put their trust in (that sexy beast) Littlefinger.

The Weeknd Showed A New Teaser Trailer For His HBO Drama “The Idol” At His Las Vegas Concert

August 22, 2022 / Posted by:

Anyone who’s been keeping tabs on the progress that Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye has been making with his and Sam Levinson’s HBO drama The Idol has had to keep their head on a swivel as the direction of the show and the members of the cast have been as back and forth as The Weeknd and Bella Hadid’s messy past relationship status. Last month, a teaser featuring cocaine, sex, and darkly lit rooms was released, which was to be expected since Sam, the controversial director of Euphoria, and The Weeknd, who loves coke, are at the helm. No premiere date for the show–which is about “a self-help guru and leader of a modern-day cult, who develops a complicated relationship with an up-and-coming pop idol–has been given, but we may be getting closer since this weekend The Weeknd played a new teaser for The Idol at his Saturday night concert in Las Vegas, according to Variety.

David Hyde Pierce, Who Stars In The New HBO Max Series “Julia”, Calls Julia Child’s Homophobia “Confusing”

March 30, 2022 / Posted by:

Oh good, an excuse to write about David Hyde Pierce, my first ever celebrity crush. The 62-year-old sex symbol stars in the new HBO Max series Julia, which is based on the life of Julia Child. David plays Julia’s husband, Paul Cushing Child, and his Frasier co-star, Bebe Neuwirth, plays Julia’s best friend. The pair sat down for a joint interview with Page Six, and they discussed the fact that Julie and Paul were homophobic. David says it’s “confusing,” especially since Julia was an icon to the gay community.

There’s Talk Of A “Sopranos” Prequel Series, And A New Book Gets Into James Gandolfini’s Time On The Show

October 21, 2021 / Posted by:

2021 is the year we reached peak Sopranos nostalgia. First, there was the prequel film The Many Saint of Newark, and now series creator David Chase has hinted that there may be a sequel to the prequel movie, set after the events of the film (the 60s and 70s) and before the timeline of the 1998 TV show. Now Ann Sarnoff, the CEO of Warner Bros, tells Deadline that they’re in talks with David about “a new series, Sopranos related, on HBO Max.” But apparently, it’s still up in the air whether the project would be a film or TV show. In the past, David has said he’d do a prequel if he and Sopranos writer/executive producer Terrence Winter could write the script together. So we shall see!

In other Sopranos news, there’s a new book called TinderBox: HBO’s Ruthless Pursuit of New Frontiers, and it gets into how James Gandolfini became Tony Soprano. Author James Andrew Miller writes that James struggled with the role, often taking showers after a day of shooting because playing Tony felt “dirty.” And when he was asked to film a scene where he jerks off, he threw a “tantrum.” I guess it’s a helluva lot cooler to get your rocks off onscreen with one of your “whoo-ahs,” than by your own hand.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge Left Amazon’s “Mr. And Mrs. Smith” Series Over Creative Differences With Donald Glover

September 7, 2021 / Posted by:

Earlier this year Amazon announced they were rebooting Mr. & Mrs. Smith as a series starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Donald Glover. At the time, Phoebe and Donald’s partners were likely preparing for the worst: full-on public cheating scandal, “Phoebald” headlines dominating the news cycle for a decade, a fleet of children, and, finally, a contentious celebrity divorce. So imagine their relief when it was reported that Phoebe had left the series due to creative differences with Donald. A loss for Amazon, but a major win for monogamy!

Kate Winslet Says There May Be A Second Season Of “Mare Of Easttown”

August 5, 2021 / Posted by:

Kate Winslet is nominated for an Emmy for her lead role in Mare of Easttown, so she sat down for an interview with Entertainment Weekly. Kate proceeded to reveal the names of the four closeted actors she knows that Brad Ingelsby, the show’s creator, has “some very cool ideas” for a potential second season, which has been hinted at before. Initially, HBO was promoting Mare of Easttown as a one-off limited series, and that’s the Emmy category all 16 of its nominations are in. But it looks like they’ll pull a Big Little Lies and try to milk some more cashola outta the story. Hopefully, that shit’s better than Big Little Lies’ sophomore season. Not even Meryl Streep’s false teeth could save that mess. Continue reading
