Studio Ghibli made some of the most memorably anime movies in history - and their streaming rights have just been acquired by HBO Max. This is different from the regular old HBO, and does not necessarily mean that people with subscriptions to HBO Now or access to HBO GO will have access to the full Studio Ghibli collection of media. Let's take a peek at what they've made public so far.
HBO Max has announced plans to offer another two new seasons of The Boondocks, an animated sitcom that aired from 2005 to 2014. The new episodes will be made available exclusively on the upcoming HBO Max video service starting next year. The show's creator Aaron McGruder will return to the series as showrunner for the upcoming new seasons.
HBO ordered a pilot episode for a Watchmen TV series from Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof in 2017, something that resulted in a full first season order in summer 2018. At the time it announced its plans to launch an original Watchmen series, HBO said the show would premiere in 2019 but didn't provide many details beyond that. Fast-forward to a tweet published today and we finally have a release date.
Forget trailers, HBO has a new clever way to lure in potential subscribers: full free episodes paired with praise for the shows originating from social media. The idea is that existing HBO customers have watched a number of shows from the premium network and have, in many cases, praise for at least a few of them. By highlighting that praise and offering a free episode to go with it, people who don't currently have an HBO subscription may decide to subscribe.
Reactions to Game of Thrones' short final season were definitely mixed, but the people in charge of determining Emmy nominations apparently loved it. The show has been nominated for a record-breaking 32 Primetime Emmy awards for this year's show. Whether or not it'll actually win all or even some of the awards it's nominated for is another thing entirely, but even steeped in controversy, it seems that Game of Thrones is a beast that cannot be stopped.
WarnerMedia has taken the wraps off HBO Max, a new streaming service that will offer HBO content alongside a huge roster of media from Warner Bros., DC Entertainment, and a number of popular networks and shows. Under this deal, HBO Max will offer classic television hits like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Friends, as well as originals and more.
The HBO comedy Silicon Valley from Mike Judge will end with its sixth season, according to a new report. The show's last season will also reportedly be cut short at only seven episodes total, the report claims, wrapping up what has been a popular, though relatively short-lived, series on the five young men behind a Silicon Valley startup.
After a two year wait, Game of Thrones' final season premiered seven weeks ago, and for a lot people, what started with a ton of anticipation ended in disappointment. Game of Thrones is currently at the center of a lot of discussion, and at the moment at least, those discussions largely seem to be negative. There are a lot of reasons why people are disappointed with the final season of the show, but for me, the biggest is that this conclusion wasn’t given the time it needed to have the impact we were all expecting.
After eight long years, Game of Thrones has finally come to end. Last night's finale was surprising in a lot of ways, but one thing that wasn't at all shocking was just out divisive it ended up being. In fact, judging from the reaction so far, the final episode of Game of Thrones seems poised to become the most divisive episode of the entire series.
As one series ends, another one is set to begin. Just before HBO aired the finale of Game of Thrones, it showed a glimpse of what's coming for its other popular TV series. Compared to GoT, Westworld is both an old name and a new franchise and, thanks to that, its creators are able to take the world in a different direction. And what should be next after the wild, wild west but none other than Futureworld.
It's no secret that faithful Game of Thrones fans are revolting against HBO's final season, and many of those fans are willing to sign off on their frustrations. A petition that seeks a remake of the show's season 8 has exceeded 1 million signatures just hours before the series finale airs, and it is filled with scathing criticism from fans who accuse HBO of rushing the final episodes, destroying years of development in the process.
The big finale episode of Game of Thrones Season 8 (and the series) is upon us. Now that we're most certainly in The Endgame, as it were, now's our last chance to try to figure out what's going to happen before it's been made public. Today we're going to take a look at one of the wild theories that've kept me from pulling all my hair out by the roots each time something "subverts my expectations" this season. Also, as may not be obvious at this point: SPOILER ALERT, Season 8 SPOILERS AHEAD!
