  • This New CW Show Is 'Dawson's Creek' Meets 'Roswell'

    Back in the glory days of The WB it felt like almost every show on the teen network took place in a high school. From "Dawson's Creek" and "Buffy" to "One Tree Hill" and "Popular," teen viewers saw their school lives reflected onscreen, but these days hardly any CW shows take place in high school. Instead of the fighting families of the Montagues and Capulets, it's the Atrians, the aliens who have crash landed on earth, and the humans who don't accept the love between Emery and Roman.

  • Here's What 'True Detective' Season 2 Will Be About

    The first season featured Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as detectives in Louisiana on the trail of a killer with satanic cult connections. In a new interview with Hitfix, "True Detective" creator Nic Pizzolatto briefly mentioned what was in store for Season 2. What are your thoughts, "True Detective" fans?

  • Carlton Cuse On 10 Years Since 'Lost'

    This month, when the Paley Center in Beverly Hills hosts a tenth anniversary reunion for "Lost," executive producer Carlton Cuse will be there, crossing his fingers that it will be a celebration of the convoluted 2004–2010 drama’s legacy and not another chance for haters to nitpick the series finale. With "Bates Motel" returning for its second season tonight at 9 p.m., Vulture used the opportunity to sit down with Cuse for a long conversation about his projects, past and present.

  • 'True Detective' Fans, You May Have Been Overthinking This Whole Time

    Have you fallen down the rabbit hole researching all the different theories on how "True Detective" will end? Plenty of people online have written about the literary references in the show, and whether the serial killer is in fact working alone, or is part of a cult, which many believe Martin Hart, Woody Harrelson's character, is a part of.

  • 11 Reasons Why You Should Be Hungry For 'Hannibal'

    Hannibal the cannibal is back for a second course on NBC. The visually stunning series by executive producer Bryan Fuller had its second season premiere last Friday, Feb. 28, (and the first season was recently made available on Amazon Prime), but if you are still unsure about becoming a Fannibal, let these reasons sway you to stay for dinner. "Hannibal" is one of the most stylized shows on television, but that should come to no surprise if you're a fan of Bryan Fuller.

  • Neil Patrick Harris: 'I Just Uttered My Last Word As Barney'

    Looks like this is the end of the road for Barney Stinson. On top of Alyson Hannigan's teary-eyed finale script reading, this proves that the final hour of "How I Met Your Mother" is going to be emotional, to say the least. The series finale of "How I Met Your Mother" airs March 31 on CBS.

  • 'Heroes' Actor On Reboot: 'I Would Love To Be A Part Of It'

    With "Heroes" returning for a 13-episode event series, titled Heroes Reborn, in 2015, what does that mean for the original cast? Robert Knepper, who played evolved human/carnival runner Samuel Sullivan in the original series, told us he would gladly return to the show.

  • Meechum Talks About THAT 'House Of Cards' Scene

    You’ve now had two full weekends to binge-watch the second season of "House of Cards," and if you did in fact finish all 13 episodes, you’ve no doubt got one question on your mind: Who is Meechum, and where can I get one for myself? The Underwoods’ stoic bodyguard is played by Nathan Darrow, a trained stage actor from Kansas City who first worked with "Cards" star Kevin Spacey in a production of Shakespeare’s "Richard III." Toward the end of the play’s international tour in 2011, Netflix was starting to put together the cast of "House of Cards," and Spacey submitted Darrow and other company members for roles in the series. “It was stacked with some very talented actors who were really right for "House of Cards," so Kevin put a bunch of us up for it,” recalls Darrow, who actually read for another role prior to being cast as Meechum.

  • 'Reality Bites' 20 Years Later: Why Lelaina Will Always Be Our Fave Girl Crush

    Tuesday, Feb. 18, marks the 20th anniversary of one of the quintessential '90s films: "Reality Bites." The movie has the perfect cast -- including Janeane Garofalo, Ethan Hawke, Steve Zahn and Ben Stiller -- but it is Lelaina, played by Winona Ryder, who will always have our hearts. Below are some of the reasons why 20 years later, Lelaina is still our '90s girl crush: Her style Her taste in TV She knows how to win an argument Her stressing about life at the old age of 23 Her singing voice Her dance moves Her upbeat demeanor ...

  • Watch The 'Breaking Bad' Writers Spill Their Secrets

    Did you always wish you could have been a fly on the wall in the "Breaking Bad" writers room? Well, this conversation, filmed as part of The Writer's Guild Foundation series "Inside the Writers Room," is probably the closest you are ever going to get to the process of writing Walter White for five seasons. The two-hour on-stage discussion was filmed last December, and features everyone from the writing team, including series creator Vince Gilligan.

  • The Comeback Of 'The Comeback'

    If you blinked between June 5 and September 4, 2005, you might have missed one of the funniest TV shows to ever grace premium cable. “In the beginning, my joke was that "The Comeback" fans were like the early Christians — they were small groups hidden in caves who knew there was a message but they were afraid to get it out,” says Michael Patrick King (of "Sex and the City" fame), who co-created the series with the show’s star Kudrow, in her first major TV role since Friends ended in 2004.

  • The Return Of 'Rome?'

    Like HBO’s fantasy hit, the 2005 series was a sprawling non-contemporary swords-and-shields drama with a large ensemble cast and plenty of violence and sex. Except "Rome" was canceled, with HBO making the tough decision to ax the show before its second season even aired in order to save money on maintaining production resources in Italy. It’s rare that networks ever admit that ending a show was a mistake, but HBO executives later did, at least privately.

  • A 'Dr. Horrible' Sequel 'Will Exist'

    "Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog" is a very unique case that’s unlike other the shows in Entertainment Weekly‘s latest issue, which explores the odds of fan-favorite shows returning. For starters, Dr. Horrible was not a TV show (though its 42-minute length is nearly the same as one episode of broadcast television). For secondsies, "Dr. Horrible" wasn’t canceled — it was created as a stand-alone story.

  • Why You Should Be Watching 'Bates Motel' Right Now

    "Bates Motel," the A&E "Psycho" prequel series was recently made available for streaming on Netflix, and with the second season premiering on March 3, there is no better time to catch up with the Bates family. Farmiga's Emmy nominated performance as Norma Bates is one of the best things on television today. As Norman Bates' (Freddie Highmore) mother who can become unhinged at any moment, watching Farmiga is basically like watching a weekly masters acting class taught by a woman on the verge of a psychotic breakdown.

  • Here's Your Extended 'Game Of Thrones' Season 4 Look

    It's only 15 minutes long, but the "Game of Thrones" featurette really packs it in. Last night before the latest episode of "True Detective," "Game of Thrones" fans were treated with "Game of Thrones Fire and Ice: A Foreshadowing." The short special had everything a fan could ask for (aside from an entire new episode), and should keep viewers content until the Season 4 premiere. Now HBO has given a gift as big as the Iron Throne itself, and released the entire special online.

  • Before 'American Horror Story' This Is What Emma Roberts Was Up To

    Emma Roberts may have been busy casting spells on "American Horror Story: Coven" this past Fall, but she almost traded a witchy school in New Orleans for a loveless future. Roberts starred in a pilot for the series "Delirium" based on a young adult novel about a dystopian future (original!) where being in love is against the law (ugh).

  • MTV Asks 'Are You The One?'

    MTV’s "Are You the One?," a Real World-style dating show that drops 10 guys and 10 girls in Hawaii and asks them to work together to find the perfect matches among them. If a team of matchmakers told you that only one "Bachelor" contestant was scientifically compatible with Juan Pablo, wouldn’t that completely change the way you watched?
