While 'Homeland' season 3 admittedly earned back a bit of good will in the most recent episodes, the show's critical acclaim has never recovered since the outset of the second season. That may look to change, as original writer Meredith Stiehm has accepted a deal to return to the writer's room, leaving behind FX's 'The Bridge' as it heads into a second season.
Finally! We've been hearing for months about the incredible casting choices for FX's adaptation of Guillermo del Toro's iconic vampire trilogy 'The Strain,' though the network had yet to issue an official series order. Now, the day has at long last come, for vampire horror-drama 'The Strain' will see the light in 2014 with a full season!
'The Walking Dead's most recent season 5 renewal came and went with surprisingly little fanfare, the only perhaps unexpected development being that showrunner Scott Gimple would stay on for another year, given all the behind-the-scenes turmoil of previous years. Now, original showrunner Frank Darabont has opened up about AMC's frank dismissal (get it?), calling the network executives "sociopaths," and refusing to watch the series.
We weren't altogether surprised to learn that CBS would attempt to parlay 'How I Met Your Mother' into a spinoff with 'How I Met Your Father,' but it seems the new female driven series will officially move forward, at least with one small caveat. Kids, get ready to find out 'How I Met Your Dad'!
Fans of both 'The Simpsons' and the late Marcia Wallace had known that FOX would pay tribute to the fallen actress this past Sunday, both in re-airing classic Emmy-winning episode "Bart the Lover" and the placement of a credits card in new episode "Four Regrettings and a Funeral." But those aren't the only ways 'The Simpsons' mourned their fallen friend this past Sunday.
As if the latest 'Walking Dead' latest twist in this past Sunday's "Isolation" hadn't assured us to watch next week, the recent announcement of a season 5 renewal puts shambling walkers in both our immediate and distant futures. More urgently, however, how will Rick handle Carol's confession in this Sunday's "Indifference"? We've got a clue in the latest photos and clip, plus what does zombie legend George Romero have to do with it?
It's been an otherwise quiet day in the realm of TV news, but Comedy Central certainly seems to have made the most of it. Not only will breakout comedy duo 'Key & Peele' return for a fourth season, but so too will the animated 'Brickleberry' draw itself a third outing and the web series-adapted 'Drunk History' take a second course.
