Though with less fanfare than 'Game of Thrones' or 'True Blood,' HBO's controversial Aaron Sorkin drama 'The Newsroom' will premiere its second season this coming Sunday with "First Thing We Do, Let's Kill All the Lawyers." Mouthy titles aside, the new season will introduce a host of new characters from the likes of Grace Gummer, Marcia Gay Harden, Hamish Linklater and Constance Zimmer,

‘True Blood’ season six spurts out its second episode of the year, "The Sun," as Sookie meets both a mysteriously injured young man (Robert Kazinski) and Jason's rescuer (Rutger Hauer), while Jessica attempts to coax Bill out of a dangerous situation and Eric goes undercover to meet Governor Truman Burrell (Arliss Howard). Last week’s ‘True Blood’ premiere “Who Are You, Really?” saw Sook

'Sopranos' fans, the entertainment community, and the world at large remain in shock over the tragic passing of actor James Gandolfini, who died earlier today in Italy of an apparent heart attack. The iconic actor had been preparing his return to HBO in the form of UK-adapted drama 'Criminal Justice,' of which a pilot episode had already been shot, but now remains in "limbo" as the pay-c

Up until now we've heard relatively little of 'Glee' and 'American Horror Story' creator Ryan Murphy's buzzworthy new sexuality drama 'Open' beyond its pilot commitment at HBO. That all changes now that 'American Beauty' and 'The Hunger Games' star Wes Bentley has joined in a leading role, and with his casting comes the first major details of the series.

We're just days away from the 'True Blood' season 6 premiere, and fan-blood has begun to boil with anticipation for the return of Bill, Sookie, Eric and the rest. Before Sunday's big debut episode "Who Are You, Really," we've got two all-new clips from 'True Blood' season 6 to tide you over, wherein the truth of Bill's return is revealed!

Ah, shameless exploitation. We never did get a definitive answer as to who among the 'Game of Thrones' actresses had reportedly refused more nude scenes, but if nothing else, the already-recorded NSFW scenes of bountiful flesh on display will live in infamy. Much like what was done for the first two seasons, why not gather all the 'Game of Thrones' season 3 nude scenes in one place?

Now that 'Game of Thrones' season 3 has premiered, gobbling up the ratings with a fourth season imminent next year, it's hard to imagine just how differently things might have looked had HBO's original pilot for the series dictated the episodes to come. New reports of the original 'Game of Thrones' pilot highlight a number of major story changes, as well as a majorly different title credits sequen

The wait for 'Game of Thrones' season 3's March 31 premiere gets shorter with each and every passing day, but that lengthy languish will soon be aided by the February 19 release of the 'Game of Thrones' season 2 Blu-Ray! And once we've re-lived all 10 episodes of the season about a dozen times in preparation for season 3, we'll be sure to check out the extensive bonus features and behind-the-scene

It's that wonderful time of the year known as the Television Critics Association press tours, where all manner of show-runners, producers and stars sit down to discuss their respective series with press. One upcoming gem we know to be arriving sometime in early 2013 is that of Christopher Guest's new HBO TV series 'Family Tree,' starring 'Bridesmaids' and 'Girls' actor Chris O'Dowd as a man learni

Don't count your cannolis just yet, but it seems like HBO might have its most recognizable star Tony Soprano James Gandolfini returning to the cable network that made him an icon. The former 'Soprano's' star has just signed on to become the lead in the pilot episode for 'Criminal Justice,' adapted from the 2008 Peter Moffatt BBC crime drama of the same name. However, will Gandolfini stick with the

It almost sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it?  Two of America’s most charming Southern-flavored actors doing a buddy-detective story on cable?  Perhaps an oversimplification, but for now it seems like HBO has won the bidding war to the high-profile new drama ‘True Detective,’ written by ‘The Killing‘s own Nic Pizzolato.
