We know that the Westworld season 2 team has been shooting at locations you might expect this fall. But with all of the delays and problems associated with season 1’s production we weren’t holding our breaths for a mid or early 2018 release date. But here we are! Basking in the sun of a Spring, 2018 premiere date. Hey, that’s Game of Thrones’ old timeslot! Let’s hope Westworld becomes just as big and just as beloved.

Sophie Turner has grown up as an actor on “Game of Thrones.” She was 14 when she shot the first season of the HBO series, which premiered in 2011. Now, two months into shooting the show’s eighth and final season, she is preparing to leave the job that effectively launched her career — which now includes a key role in Fox’s “X-Men” film franchise — and embark on the next stage of her career.

Andrea Arnold has boarded the miniseries and will direct and exec produce all seven episodes. Big Little Lies season two is officially a go. HBO on Friday confirmed months of speculation that the Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman miniseries would return for a second season. The production has tapped Andrea Arnold, who won an Oscar for writing and directing her short film Wasp, to helm all seven episodes of season two.

Following the show’s ninth-season finale, which debuted Sunday, Dec. 3, the Emmy®– and Golden Globe-winning comedy series CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, starring Larry David, will return to HBO for its tenth season, it was announced today by Casey Bloys, president, HBO programming. Production will begin next spring, with additional details to be announced as they are confirmed.

Kit Harington has a lot on his plate at the moment — and he’s starting to feel the pressure. The actor is currently gearing up to play Jon Snow one last time and admitted that there is a different feeling in the air. What has Harington worried about for the final season of Game of Thrones?

The fabled Deadwood movie is finally looking very real — as in, likely going into production this year real. The thing is still not certain yet — it’s the Deadwood movie after all — but it’s as certain as something can be without actually being certain… if that makes sense.

“Game of Thrones” star Peter Dinklage thinks the show is coming to an end at the perfect time. “It’s time,” the actor said at Variety’s Sundance Film Festival studio. “Storywise, not just for all our lives. It’s the perfect time to end it. Sometimes shows stay on a little too long, the jumping-the-shark thing.” Dinklage plays fan-favorite character Tyrion Lannister in the HBO mega-hit. Over the course of the show’s run, Tyrion has gone from simple Lannister royalty, to the Hand of the King for the reviled Joffrey Baratheon, to a patricidal fugitive, and now stands...

Star Peter Dinklage says cast and crew are taking their time as the HBO hit prepares to wrap up in 2019. The final season of "Game of Thrones" is halfway through filming, star Peter Dinklage revealed at Variety's Sundance Film Festival studio on Saturday. And the actor, who plays Tyrion Lannister in HBO's fantasy hit show, thinks it's good that the series isn't overstaying its welcome.

Nicole Kassell will direct and executive produce the “Watchmen” pilot currently in the works at HBO from Damon Lindelof. Kassell is no stranger to HBO. She previously helmed multiple episodes of “The Leftovers,” which was created by Lindelof. She also directed an episode of the Martin Scorsese-Mick Jagger HBO drama “Vinyl.” Her other TV directing credits include the TNT drama “Claws,” FX’s “The Americans,” AMC’s “Better Call Saul,” and ABC’s “American Crime.”

The audience question and answer period is obligatory. Nobody likes it, everybody dreads its arrival, but the rough beast slouches toward the end of every book reading and celebrity panel with the inevitability of some sacrificial ritual. It has to be done because it has always been done. We must all fidget in our seats and burrow into our collars for the last 10 minutes of an otherwise enjoyable event because that’s simply the Way It’s Always Been.

HBO and Damon Lindelof’s forthcoming Watchmen television series might end up diverging from the comic book source material. However, the show’s newly revealed working title seems to indicate that the series isn’t straying too far from its roots. According to Production Weekly, the Watchmen series has received a working title of Brooklyn. This, of course, is quite fitting, as the events of the Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ seminal 1986 miniseries takes place primarily in New York City.

There was a thrilling scene in a recent episode of Westworld. As “Virtù e Fortuna” began, we were given our first glimpse of another Delos park, this one apparently constructed to resemble the British Raj. Two new human characters, a man and a woman, met and, as so often happens in Westworld, soon spilled blood and swapped fluids.

HBO is beginning to plot what comes after Game of Thrones when it concludes next year. The network has been working on succession plans for the show for over a year, with five potential projects in the works, and it just ordered a pilot for one of them: a prequel that takes place thousands of years before the present show, from series author George R.R. Martin and Kick-Ass and Kingsman: The Secret Service writer Jane Goldman.

When Westworld returns, the series will be set to explore an entirely new world. The season two finale of the HBO drama, called "The Passenger," kicked the door down on two brand new worlds: the "Sublime," the writers' nickname for the idyllic digital realm where many of the hosts (including James Marsden's Teddy and Zahn McClarnon's Akecheta) escaped; and our world, the one beyond the park's borders, the one mankind knows as their home.

On a recent episode of his HBO series Last Week Tonight, John Oliver decided to stop talking about America for a bit and focus on what’s been going on in China instead. For 20 minutes, Oliver detailed the great economic growth that the country is enjoying as well as the rise of lovable president/possible emperor-for-life Xi Jinping. Unfortunately, as Oliver pointed out, this growth has come alongside a massive crackdown on dissenters, a worrying vilification of religious minorities, and the repeal of political safety measures that were put in place in response to the totalitarian policies of Mao Zedong.

More than a year after formally announcing its follow-up to The Young Pope, HBO and producers Sky are getting the ball rolling on casting. Two-time Oscar nominee John Malkovich is set to star, with season one lead Jude Law returning for The New Pope. Law starred in The Young Pope as the fictional first American pope, an outrageously conservative figurehead who seems hell-bent on turning the world of the Vatican upside down. The cast of the 10-part series also included Diane Keaton, Silvio Orlando and James Cromwell.

Curb Your Enthusiasm famously took five years off before launching a comeback with season nine. Now, J.B. Smoove is doubling down on a promise made by his bosses: viewers won't have to wait that long for season 10. After a long hiatus, the Larry David comedy returned for a 10-episode season in 2017. Prior to that, the series hadn't aired a new episode since 2011. The 10th season was announced late 2017 and Smoove says the gang will be returning to set later this year.

There are many reasons that AT&T’s merger with Time Warner presented the clear possibility of harming consumers. Somewhere on the list is the possibility of turning the carefully curated, profitable, and beloved HBO into a big-data monster like Netflix. To hear AT&T’s executive in charge of the cable channel tell it, that’s exactly what’s planned for the future.
