Every path has a price...

HBO has finally announced an official premiere date for the second season of The Last of Us, and the acclaimed survival horror video game adaptation is set to return to our screens sooner than expected.

Season 2 will debut on April 13 at 9 p.m. Et/Pt, taking the Sunday marquee time slot from the current third season of The White Lotus.

Max has also released new character posters featuring Ellie (Bella Ramsey), Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), along with a new promo still and a pretty vague synopsis.

"The Last of Us picks up in Season 2 five years after the events of the first season, Joel and Ellie are drawn into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind."

We're not sure exactly how much of the second game season 2 will adapt, but HBO's...

Season 2 of the HBO series adaptation of the video game The Last of Us is pretty close! According to the latest teaser trailer (embedded above) it’s coming in just a few months, with it getting an April release date. The trailer gives us a look at a weeping Joel, as well as our introduction to some of the new characters. Check it out!

The story of the The Last of Us video game is set years after a fungal plague wiped out much of humanity, transforming most into vicious zombie-like monsters, the story follows Joel, who’s living in a militarized quarantine zone. He has a close relationship with Tess, who operates in the black market of this community. Together, they’ve become known by the local criminal underworld for their ruthlessness. On a mission to reclaim their stolen guns, they run into the leader of the Fireflies, a resistance group,...

Some cancellations always hurt more than others. That was certainly the case for the broadcast TV shows in 2024. We are still salty about some of those decisions.

We know that some TV shows have to come to an end. The writing is usually on the wall for some of them. The linear ratings are down, or the show just isn’t getting great reviews. However, this year, there were some cancellations that were completely unjustified. Or we lost great shows that just didn’t have the chance to find their audiences.

We’re taking a look back at 2024 and the TV cancellations that hurt the most. We’re not just sad; we’re salty. This is for broadcast only. There are some streaming cancellations that I absolutely hate!

Not Dead Yet

There are very few comedies on TV now. This year has seen a few hits on NBC, but other networks have struggled.

Amazon is celebrating some of the world’s most beloved video games with the launch of “Secret Level,” an animated anthology series for Prime Video that tells 15 original short stories that are set in the worlds and pay homage to titles including “Pac-Man,” “Mega-Man,” “Unreal Tournament,” “Dungeons & Dragons” and “Warhammer 40,000.”

“We wanted to represent the broad spectrum of gaming, from indie, nostalgia titles to Triple A blockbusters, but also past, present and future games, horror games, science fiction, fantasy. So we wanted that diversification of something for everybody,” executive producer and supervising director Dave Wilson told TheWrap.

Creator and executive producer Tim Miller said the project is “inextricably interwined” with another animated series he’s known for: “Love, Death & Robots”

“It took longer than it should have, but I suddenly came around to the idea of, ‘Hey, let’s take our core business of video games, trailers...

“Secret Level” has scored a Season 2 renewal at Prime Video after becoming the streamer’s largest animated series debut in its first week.

The anthology series, which premiered on Dec. 10 and is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Blur Studio, features 15 original short stories set within the worlds of some of fans’ most beloved video games, including “Pac-Man,” “Mega-Man,” “Unreal Tournament,” “Dungeons & Dragons” and “Warhammer 40,000.”

Season 1 features a star-studded cast from the worlds of Hollywood and gaming, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin Hart, Keanu Reeves, Gabriel Luna, Temuera Morrison, Ariana Greenblatt, Heaven Hart, Emily Swallow, Ricky Whittle, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Merle Dandridge, Claudia Doumit, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Clive Standen, Laura Bailey and Michael Beach.

While details of Season 2 are being kept under wraps, creator and executive producer Tim Miller told TheWrap that conversations about the IP that could be tapped for another season have been ongoing.

“We’re always looking at...

“Secret Level” has been renewed for a second season at Amazon Prime Video.

The series is an adult animated anthology made up of short stories set in the world of various video games, such as “Pac-Man” and “Dungeons & Dragons.” Season 1 of “Secret Level” debuted with eight episodes on Dec. 10 with another seven set for Tuesday. Details about Season 2, including which video game worlds will be featured, remain under wraps.

Amazon says that “Secret Level” achieved the most-watched animated series debut of all time for the streamer within its first week, though exact viewership numbers were not provided. According to measurement from Luminate, the series was watched for 155.3 million minutes in the U.S. during its first week of availability, which translates to roughly 1.4 million views when divided by its 109-minute runtime.

The Season 1 cast of “Secret Level” includes Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin Hart, Keanu Reeves, Temuera Morrison, Ariana Greenblatt, Heaven Hart,...

Prime Video has renewed its freshman animated series Secret Level for a second season. Additional new episodes from Season 1 were released on the streamer today.

From Amazon MGM Studios and Blur Studio, Secret Level is an adult-animated anthology series featuring original stories set within the worlds of popular video games. Season 1 includes episodes highlighting Dungeons & Dragons, Sifu, New World, Unreal Tournament, Warhammer 40,000, Pac-Man, Crossfire, Armored Core, The Outer Worlds, Mega Man and Honor of Kings, to name a few. From the creatives behind Love, Death + Robots, each of the episodes is a celebration of games and gamers.

The title premiered on Dec 10, and within its first week, Prime Video says it became their largest new animated series debut compared to other recent releases including Sausage Party, Hazbin Hotel, Invincible, and The Legend of Vox Machina.

Season 1 was jam-packed with top voice acting talent including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin Hart,...

The aims of the animated anthology Secret Level, whose 15 shorts are based on video and tabletop games, are clear enough: As production company Blur Studio puts it on their website, “Secret Level is our love letter to gaming.” But despite the tangible earnestness of that claim, the series fails to shake off the cynicism of its commercial function and blinkered politics. Beneath flashes of beauty and fits of inspiration lies an elaborate branding exercise.

Secret Level features a handful of shorts that conjure impressive moods. The bleak industrial landscapes in “Armored Core: Asset Management” all but subsume the episode’s protagonist (Keanu Reeves)—and the formidable mech he pilots—conveying the extent of his alienation and the stakes of his mission; the economical “Warhammer 40,000: And They Shall Know No Fear” spares us unnecessary dialogue, setting its space marines loose with sweltering kineticism; and the martial arts revenge tale of...

Prime Video‘s Secret Level presses start on the animated anthology series from Love Death + Robots makers on December 10. Still, one of the presentation’s biggest attractions, Mega Man, is teasing his adventure early. A new teaser trailer for the Mega Man episode of Secret Level is making the rounds online, giving us a taste of the Blue Bomber’s origin story and the animation style of the anticipated short.

Secret Level’s Mega Man teaser trailer finds Rock, aka Mega Man, attacked by one of Dr. Light’s inventions. As the two robotic characters trade light-based attacks, Dr. Light’s lab is set aflame as Rock, on his way to becoming Mega Man, realizes the strength of his Mega Buster. Wielding that kind of power comes with a lot of responsibility. Thankfully, Rock is a hero to his core, using the Mega Buster to defeat Dr. Wily’s evil automatons.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Last of Us Part II.

There are plenty of clues that The Last of Us season 2 will expand on the backstory of Jeffrey Wright’s character Isaac — and that could be a great thing for the show. Isaac is the ruthless leader of the Washington Liberation Front who overthrew Fedra and took over the Seattle quarantine zone. Although his journey began by liberating the people from their oppressive overlords, Isaac eventually became a corrupt warmonger in his own right. The Last of Us Part II only had time to hint at that fascinating story, but the TV show has the freedom to really explore it.

Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann have already made one right move with Isaac by bringing back his original video game voice actor to play him in the HBO series. Wright gave a captivating performance in his couple...

A new kind of video game adaptation is coming. It’s not live-action and it’s not just one game, but many games are being turned into episodes of an anthology series from Prime Video.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Last of Us Part II.

Almost all the major voice actors from The Last of Us video games have roles in HBOs TV adaptation, with some of them even reprising their original characters from the games. Video game adaptations have been notoriously disappointing because they usually have no respect for the source material. But HBOs The Last of Us is an exception because the creator of the franchise himself, Neil Druckmann, is one of the showrunners. This has meant that the TV series is passionately faithful to the games its adapting in more ways than just sticking to the story.

In casting the TV show, Druckmann brought over most of the main voice actors from the video games. Since the voice actors behind the lead roles of Joel and Ellie arent the right age to play them in live-action, those parts were recast...

HBO has finally given fans the first trailer of The Last of Us season 2. The acclaimed TV show returns to adapt the second game with familiar faces like Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey while new cast members like Jeffrey Wright and Isabela Merced have been added. The tone is ominous and seems to go deeper and darker into the post-apocalyptic world.

Expectations for the second season seem to be high, especially considering the introduction of Kaitlyn Dever’s Abby Anderson, who has a huge role to play in the series. Many elements from the second game are seen in the trailer, while new characters like Catherine O’Hara’s therapist add more to the story. Here are three details from the trailer of The Last of Us 2.

One of the sweetest and most emotional moments of The...

In June of 2020, Naughty Dog released The Last of Us Part II, the follow-up to their tremendously popular zombie survival game The Last of Us. This was pretty soon after the Covid lockdowns began, and I guess everyone was very cranky, because there was an enormous online backlash to the game after it released, with many fans upset over some of the twists and turns in the story.

I'm not going to spoil what those twists and turns are right now, but they involve a new character named Abby Anderson, to be played by Kaitlyn Dever in the upcoming second season of The Last of Us HBO adaptation. To put it mildly, some fans loathed Abby at the time the game came out, and apparently HBO is afraid enough of a repeat that it hired extra security for Dever on the set of the show.

That's according to actor Isabela Merced,...

Ellie's iconic tattoo will play a vital role in The Last of Us season 2. Ellie's immunity to infection sets her apart in the dangerous world of the show, with her tattoo covering her telling bite mark. The fern and moth tattoo on Ellie's arm holds practical and symbolic significance, tying into her character's narrative.

Based on early footage of the show's second season, Ellie's iconic tattoo will figure into HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us. Played by Bella Ramsey in the series, Ellie is more of a hardened survivor in The Last of Us season 2. It's expected that the show will follow the second game's general narrative, with Ellie and Joel (Pedro Pascal) settling in the Jackson community alongside Joel's brother, Tommy (Gabriel Luna), in the wake of The Last of Us season 1's harrowing ending. Throughout the 9-episode season, Joel escorts Ellie to a Firefly hospital in Salt Lake City.

“Citadel” Season 2 at Amazon Prime Video has added a trio of recurring cast members.

Variety has learned exclusively that Merle Dandridge, Rahul Kohli, and Michael Trucco will all appear in the new season of the spy thriller series. They will appear opposite returning stars Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra-Jonas and returning cast member Stanley Tucci. Recently announced new cast members for the second season include Jack Reynor, Matt Berry, and Gabriel Leone.

“The second season will build on the intense action and complex characters introduced in the first season, promising even more thrilling twists and intrigue,” said “Citadel” executive producer and chief creative officer of series producer Agbo Angela Russo-Otstot. “Also, the recently announced ‘Citadel: Diana’ and ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny,’ from Italy and India respectively, further expand the storytelling and scope born from the world of ‘Citadel.’”

Dandridge recently appeared in the smash hit HBO series “The Last of Us,...

HBO/Max has released the first official teaser for the second season of The Last of Us, and in addition to featuring some shots that should be very familiar to fans of the second video game, it gives us a first look at several new characters, including Jeffrey Wright as the villainous Isaac and Kaitlyn Dever as Abby Anderson.

We only catch a couple of brief glimpses of the young woman who will go on to become Ellie's (Bella Ramsey) nemesis, but the shots of Abby crawling through the snow while infected attempt to get tear through a chain-link fence suggests that season 2 will stick pretty close to the game when it comes to certain events.

We also see Joel (Pedro Pascal) being asked if he hurt Ellie in season 1 by Catherine O'Hara's (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice) mysterious character, to which he tearfully replies, "no... I saved her."

Check out the promo at the link below,...

New The Last of Us season 2 set photos emerge online, showing Bella Ramsey and Isabela Merced in action as Ellie and Dina, respectively. Based on the acclaimed Naughty Dog video game franchise, the hit HBO show premiered in 2023, following Joel (Pedro Pascal) as he transports Ellie, an immune young woman, across a post-apocalyptic U.S. overrun by infected. The Last of Us season 2 cast introduces a number of newcomers, including Merced as Dina, a key figure from the sequel video game who serves as Ellie's main love interest.

Set photos from The Last of Us season 2's Vancouver, British Columbia, production have now been shared online by Canadagraphs on Patreon (via @diamondlynxx on X), showing Ellie and Dina in a post-apocalyptic Seattle. Check out them at the link below:

Earlier this year, we got a blurry first glimpse of Isabela Merced filming scenes as Dina for the second season of HBO's The Last of Us adaptation. Now, thanks to some new photos from the Vancouver set, we have a much better look at the Madame Web and Superman actress as she patrols the streets with her gun drawn alongside Bella Ramsey as Ellie.

If you've played The Last of Us Part II video game, these photos will probably look very familiar. If not, beware of major spoilers from this point on.

Seriously, these are massive Spoilers - last chance!

Based on these shots, we'd say there's a good chance we're seeing Ellie and Dina shortly after arriving in Seattle in search of Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) and her Washington Liberation Front allies after they brutally murdered Joel (Pedro Pascal).

There's always a chance that the show won't stick rigidly close...

At one time, the first season of the HBO series adaptation of the video game The Last of Us was meant to consist of ten episodes, with Kantemir Balagov (Beanpole) directing the first three. For reasons that have never been fully revealed, Balagov only ended up directing the first episode, with series creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (who also wrote and directed the video game source material) taking over as directors on episode two and three, respectively. Then the first and second episodes were combined in post, with Balagov going uncredited for the scenes he directed, and the Druckmann-helmed third episode became the second episode. The Last of Us season 2 is now in production, and industry scooper Daniel Richtman has heard that Druckmann will be directing the sixth episode of the season.

Richtman also heard that “two Latinx brothers, 16 and 13” will have major roles in The Last of Us...

Jason George is returning to “Grey’s Anatomy” as a series regular after seven seasons of starring spinoff series “Station 19,” which aired its series finale in May.

George joined “Grey’s Anatomy” in 2010, playing surgical resident Ben Warren as a recurring role beginning with Season 6, before being upped to series regular in 2015’s Season 12.

After three seasons as a series regular, he left the series to join “Station 19” in 2018, with Ben deciding to become a firefighter. The spinoff was led by George and fellow “Grey’s Anatomy” alum Stefania Stefania Spampinato as Carina DeLuca alongside new cast members Jaina Lee Ortiz, Grey Damon, Barrett Doss, Alberto Frezza, Jay Hayden, Okieriete Onaodowan, Danielle Savre, Miguel Sandoval, Boris Kodjoe, Carlos Miranda, Josh Randall, Merle Dandridge and Pat Healy.

In the series finale of “Station 19,” titled “One Last Time,” Ben makes the decision to return to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital and work as a surgeon again.

The Last of Us viewers have been patiently waiting for the post-apocalyptic series' return, and the series creators/showrunners have now provided an update.

The Last of Us series, which stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey is based on the video game franchise by Naughty Dog and is set 20 years after a viral outbreak turns most of the human race into zombies. Others who appeared in the first season include Gabriel Luna, Anna Torv, Nico Parker, Murray Bartlett, Nick Offerman, Melanie Lynskey, Storm Reid, Merle Dandridge, Jeffrey Pierce, Lamar Johnson, Keivonn Woodard, Graham Greene, Elaine Miles, Ashley Johnson, and Troy Baker.

Station 19's series finale did not kill off any major characters. The farewell episode involves one shocking character's death - Kate Powell. Showrunner Zoanne Clack explained that the decision aimed to provide an ending without grief, while still honoring the show's dangerous premise.

Station 19 showrunner Zoanne Clack discusses why the series finale did not include any major deaths. It was announced late last year that Station 19 season 7 would be the last, serving as a curtain call for the firefighter drama that has starred the likes of Jaina Lee Ortiz, Jason George, Grey Damon, Barrett Doss, Jay Hayden, Okieriete Onaodowan, Danielle Savre, Boris Kodjoe, Stefania Spampinato, Carlos Miranda, Josh Randall, Merle Dandridge, and Pat Healy. Despite the large ensemble cast and a deadly fire emergency, the Station 19 series finale keeps all the main characters alive.

Peter Paige: The disrespect of [using AI], we would never. He was really there.

Deadline: How did you get him to come back?

For a show that spent most of its time putting its characters in mortal danger, it’s remarkable that “Station 19” completed its series finale with nearly everyone alive and well — except, of course, for Kate (Kiele Sanchez), the newest addition to 19 who never did quite manage to become a part of the family. Kate got sucked up into a fire tornado — a firenado, perhaps — becoming the finale’s only casualty. Despite injuries and burns and smoke inhalation, everyone else lived on to firefight another day, with visions of their bright futures dancing ahead of them. After years of dealing with the harsh realities of firefighting, they all got their happy ending.

The episode, which was directed by showrunner Peter Paige, spent most of its time continuing to...

Spoiler Alert: The following reveals major plot points from ABC’s Station 19 series finale.

After 7 seasons, the time has finally come to say goodbye to Seattle’s hardest-working firefighters on ABC’s Station 19. As they say, all good things must come to an end. But, thanks to some gifts left behind in the finale by showrunners Peter Paige and Zoanne Clack and the writers, fans can expand on the firefighters’ stories well beyond tonight.

The episode titled “One Last Time” continues the story from last week’s episode as Station 19 is battling a raging wildfire targeting Seattle. Everyone is in danger but they’re keeping cool heads and working together to protect anyone else from getting hurt. In a particularly intense scene, the team has to take cover when a firestorm threatens everyone’s lives quickly. They get under aluminum fire shelters that they pull over themselves like a blanket.

That was fast. Just five days ago, it was announced that Jeffrey Wright, whose credits include American Fiction, Westworld, Basquiat, Shaft, The Batman, and multiple James Bond and Hunger Games movies, was joining the cast of season 2 of the HBO series adaptation of the video game The Last of Us to play a character named Isaac. A character Wright provided the vocal performance for when he appeared in the video game The Last of Us Part II. Now Wright has been spotted on the set of The Last of Us season 2, and a spy pic gives us our first look at him in character now that he’s playing Isaac in the flesh:

The original game is naturally cinematic, but the TV adaptation still made some changes to improve the story for a new medium. With...
