  • The show premieres January 18, 2026 with a six episode first season.

  • This is a character driven road story that follows Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg.

  • Expect a lighter tone with humor and smaller scale conflicts that still ripple across Westeros later.

  • Do not expect dragon spectacles or sprawling palace intrigue. The focus is on people and choices.

  • The Ashford tournament is the centerpiece of season one and sets many threads in motion.

  • Newcomers can jump in without prior lore. Readers can enjoy extra context from the novellas or the comic adaptation.

  • “This is going to be a lot lighter than I expected, with jokes and quips, and it’s going to be kind of a fun story.”

  • “It’s about these guys on the road and some of the small choices they make that have big impacts later on.”

  • “You won’t see big dragons. Dragons are gone at this point.”

Netflix Casts Remaining Endless Family Members for The Sandman Season 2

Netflix's live-action adaptation of Neil Gaiman's groundbreaking comic book series, "The Sandman," continues to captivate audiences with its rich storytelling and stellar cast. The series premiered on August 5, 2022, and quickly garnered critical acclaim, including a 9/10 review from IGN, which praised it as an adaptation fans "could only conjure up in their deepest of sleeps." Production for Season 2 resumed in November, and Netflix has now announced the actors who will portray Dream's previously unseen siblings. Esme Creed-Miles, known for her role in "The Doll Factory," will play Delirium. Adrian Lester, star of "Primary Colors," will take on the role of Destiny. Barry Sloane, familiar to many from "Revenge" and the first-person shooter franchise "Call of Duty," will embody The Prodigal, also known as Destruction. These new cast members join returning stars Tom Sturridge as Dream, Kirby as Death, Mason Alexander Park as Desire, and Donna Preston as Despair. Other familiar faces returning for Season 2 include Patton Oswalt as Matthew the Raven, Vivienne Acheampong as Lucienne, Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer Morningstar, Jenna Coleman as Johanna Constantine, and many more.

PlayStation Reverses Mandatory PSN Account Linking for Helldivers 2 in Response to Community Outcry

PlayStation Reverses Mandatory PSN Account Linking for Helldivers 2 in Response to Community Outcry

PlayStation has reversed its decision to enforce mandatory PlayStation Network (PSN) account linking for Helldivers 2 players following widespread backlash from the gaming community. Johan Pilestedt, the creative director of Helldivers 2 and CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios, expressed gratitude for Sony's swift response to player concerns, emphasizing the importance of community feedback in shaping the future of live service games. The move comes after a tumultuous three-day period that saw Helldivers 2's Steam reviews plummet and subsequent celebrations among fans as democracy prevailed. Pilestedt acknowledged Arrowhead's role in the controversy, accepting responsibility for inadequate communication, while reaffirming the studio's commitment to delivering an exceptional gaming experience. With PlayStation's decision, focus can now return to Helldivers 2's acclaimed gameplay and narrative, solidifying its position as one of the standout titles of 2024.

Gen V Producers Confirm Chance Perdomo's Character Won't Be Recast for Season 2

Gen V Producers Confirm Chance Perdomo's Character Won't Be Recast for Season 2

In a heartfelt statement, the producers of the hit superhero series Gen V have confirmed that the late Chance Perdomo's character, Andre Anderson, will not be recast for the show's upcoming second season. Perdomo tragically passed away at the age of 27 in a single-vehicle motorcycle accident this past March. The statement released by the producers expressed their deep respect and admiration for Perdomo, asserting that no one could ever replace him. Instead of recasting the role, the team behind Gen V has decided to take the necessary time and space to reshape the storylines for Season 2, which is set to commence production in May. "We won't be recasting the role, because no one can replace Chance," the statement reads. "Instead, we have been taking the time and space to recraft our Season 2 storylines as we begin production in May." Perdomo's character, Andre Anderson, a superhero endowed with magnetic manipulation powers, was last seen in custody alongside several other students during the climax of the Season 1 finale. The producers have made a solemn promise to honor Chance and his legacy throughout the upcoming season, ensuring that his presence continues to resonate within the show's narrative. Gen V, a spin-off of the popular series The Boys, unfolds within the confines of a college tailored exclusively for young adult superheroes. Premiering on Prime in September 2023, the show garnered rave reviews, with IGN awarding it a stellar 9 out of 10 rating, describing it as launching "like a juiced-up A-Train." As fans eagerly anticipate the return of Gen V for its second season, the decision not to recast Chance Perdomo's character serves as a poignant reminder of the indelible mark he left on the series and the hearts of viewers worldwide.

Sony has announced that starting May 30, all Helldivers 2 players on Steam will be required to link their accounts to a PlayStation Network (PSN) account, citing safety and security reasons. This sudden mandate, contradicting Sony’s earlier FAQ guidelines which stated PSN login was optional, has sparked significant backlash from the gaming community. Many players are threatening to quit or seek refunds, expressing concerns over privacy and the imposition of unwanted account linkages. Arrowhead's CEO Johan Pilestedt has directed all queries and concerns to PlayStation Support, distancing the studio from the decision-making process. This development has generated widespread frustration and confusion, impacting Sony's relationship with its PC player base.

Live-Action He-Man in the Works

Live-Action He-Man in the Works

The long-anticipated live-action reboot of "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" is finally making strides toward the big screen with a set release date of June 5, 2026. Directed by Travis Knight, known for his work on "Bumblebee" and "Kubo and the Two Strings," the film is expected to offer a fresh take on the iconic hero's origins. Knight will be teaming up once again with Chris Butler, who has been brought on to rewrite the script, promising a potentially vibrant and imaginative retelling of Prince Adam's transformation into He-Man. This project has shifted through various studios over the years, including Warner, Sony, and a brief stint at Netflix before landing at Amazon MGM Studios. The development journey reflects a mix of excitement and skepticism, given the numerous failed attempts to revive the franchise in live-action form since the 1987 film starring Dolph Lundgren.
