Succession Season 3 Coming This Fall
After Season 2 of Succession ended with a twist, fans will finally get to see the fallout in Season 3. HBO’s beloved satire will return with new episodes sometime this fall, the network’s chief content officer, Casey Bloys, announced on Tuesday. Season 2 finished airing in October of 2019, and Season 3 was among the many productions delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. That’s frustrating for viewers because the show ended on a family-shattering moment, with Kendall Roy (Jeremy Strong) refusing to fall on his sword and instead stabbing his father (Brian Cox) in the back. According to an official description, “Ambushed by his rebellious son Kendall at the end of Season 2, Logan Roy begins Season 3 in a perilous position. Scrambling to secure familial, political, and financial al...

Neil Gaiman was the bearer of good news on Tuesday morning, revealing Amazon has given a second season order to his apocalyptic comedy series, Good Omens. David Tennant (Dr. Who, Broadchurch) and Michael Sheen (Masters of Sex) are returning as the demon Crowley and angel Aziraphale, respectively. Per Amazon, the “unlikely duo” will once again be “teaming up to save the world from the apocalypse” while living in London’s Soho. “The return of Good Omens is great news for me, personally,” said Tennant in a press statement about the second season renewal. “I get to work with Michael again, and I get to say Neil’s wonderful words once more. It’s probably less good for the universe as it almost certainly means there will be some fresh existential threat to its existence to deal with, but, y...
The Recording Academy Attempts to Boost Diversity With 2021 Class Invitees
In response to accusations of corruption and a lack of diversity among its Grammy Awards voting body, the Recording Academy announced today that they’ve extended invitations to over 2,700 musicians and industry professionals to join the 2021 class of new members, with 55 percent of those coming from “traditionally underrepresented groups.” Via Pitchfork, the Academy’s membership is currently “26 percent female and 27 percent from traditionally underrepresented groups.” In recent years, artists like The Weeknd, Fiona Apple, and Frank Ocean have chastised the Grammys over a lack of diversity in their awards process. Though the Academy has attempted to reform their nomination process multiple times over, they’ve long been plagued by problems, culminating in a lengthy public complain...
John Lithgow Joins Cast of Showtime’s Dexter Revival
John Lithgow is reprising his role as the “Trinity Killer” for the upcoming revival of Dexter, according to Deadline. The return is described as “a short but decisive appearance,” with Deadline reporting the writers have “concocted a pathway for the Trinity Killer to come back that works within the larger Dexter narrative.” As such, Lithgow is only expected to film on the Los Angeles set for “a day or so.” In 2010, the now-75-year-old actor won an Emmy Award for his portrayal of Arthur Mitchell during Season 4 of the original series. Mitchell was a source of particular interest for Michael C. Hall’s titular character, appearing to show a path to balancing a family with a secret life as a serial killer. Dexter ultimately offed him during the season finale. Related Video Airing on Showt...

Conan O’Brien Gives Tearjerking Tribute on Final Late-Night Episode: Watch
After nearly three decades, Conan O’Brien’s tenure as the longest host in late-night history has come to a close. The final episode of Conan aired Thursday on TBS, serving as a fitting tribute to the comedian’s 28 years on the air. The episode opened with a Simpsons sketch in which an overly-excited Homer Simpson conducted O’Brien’s exit interview. While discussing the moments that stood out to them most throughout Conan history, Homer recalled a fairly vague interaction: “There was a time you had this actor on, and he was promoting a movie. And you asked him if there was any wacky stuff that happened on the set, so he told this mildly interesting anecdote,” he said with a laugh. When it came time for O’Brien’s last monologue, he reflected on the show’s 4,000-hour history, admittedly hesit...
Jensen Ackles Producing Supernatural Prequel The Winchesters
After one of the longest, bloodiest runs in television history, the world of Supernatural is set to rise again. As Deadline reports, the new prequel The Winchesters will flesh out the mythology of John and Mary Winchester, parents of original heroes Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles). Supernatural proved to be unkillable on its 15 year run, and even when it concluded in November of 2020, the talent seemed confident in a return. “I do feel like this isn’t the long goodbye,” Ackles said last year. But only he could guess how short a sayonara it would be. Ackles will produce The Winchesters alongside his wife Danneel, who played the recurring angel Anael on the original. As his character Dean, he will also lend his voice to narration th...
‘I Regret It’: Snooki Just Apologized To Angelina For That Jersey Shore Wedding Speech
There’s nothing like a few dirty martinis to help “clear the air”. Case in point: Snooki and Angelina finally burying the hatchet over the infamous wedding toast. First, it was Deena and JWOWW, and now tonight’s Jersey Shore: Family Vacation saw the original meatball herself inviting Angelina to lunch for a series of heartfelt apologies and clinking of the glasses — and the latter found herself somewhat surprised by the gesture. “Considering that Nicole went on her podcast and said that she’d rather chop off a limb than ever talk to me again or see me again, I kind of am a little shocked that [she] actually invited me to this lunch today,” Angelina confessed. Nicole was quick to cut to the chase and explained her own side of the...
