A New Season Of HBO's "True Detective" Is On Its Way

A New Season Of HBO’s “True Detective” Is On Its Way

It’s been three years since we last saw a new episode of HBO’s hit series “True Detective.” Fans were sure they had seen the last of the series, but they were wrong. HBO has another season brewing, titled “True Detective: Night Country.” “Night Country” will mark the hit series’ fourth season, with Issa López (Tigers Are Not Afraid) on board to pen the season with Barry Jenkins (“The Underground Railroad”) producing. THR notes, “Should season four move forward — it’s currently in development — Lopez would direct the pilot in addition to serving as an exec producer.” “The show’s creator Nic Pizzolatto will not be returning, but Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are expected to return as executive producers,” THR states. There is no word yet if any of the previous season’s cast will return. There has been no premiere date announced at this time, but it should arrive sometime next year.

Warner Bros. Unleashes New Action-Packed Trailer For 'Eraser: Reborn'

‘Eraser: Reborn’ To Be Released This March, 25 Years After The Original Film

25 years after the blockbuster hit, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will have you on the edge of your seat with the release of Eraser: Reborn, the follow-up to the 1996 blockbuster. This all-new action-packed film follows US Marshal Mason Pollard, a specialist in engineering the fake deaths of witnesses that need to leave no trace of their existence. “U.S. Marshal Mason Pollard specializes in “erasing” people – faking the deaths of high-risk witnesses. With the technological advances of the last 25 years, the game has upgraded, and it’s just another day at the office when he’s assigned to Rina Kimura, a crime boss’ wife who’s decided to turn state’s evidence. As the two flee to Cape Town, South Africa, with a team of merciless assassins on their trail, Pollard discovers he’s been set up. Double-crossed and fueled by adrenaline, he needs to be at the top of his game, or he’ll be the one who’s erased. Permanently.” Eraser: Reborn, a

HBO Max And Discovery+ Will Soon Be One Big Service

HBO Max And Discovery+ Will Soon Be One Big Service

Discovery is in the final stages of acquiring Warner Media from AT&T. So, what does that mean? One thing that will come out of the deal is that eventually, Discovery+ and HBO Max will be combining into one massive service. Gunnar Wiedenfels, the chief financial officer of Discovery had this to say to Variety. “So right out of the gate, we’re working on getting the bundling approach ready, maybe a single sign-on, ingesting content into the other product, etc., so that we can start to get some benefits early on. But the main thrust is going to be harmonizing the technology platform. Building one very, very strong combined direct-to-consumer product and platform, that’s going to take a while.” HBO Max already hosts several channels on its service including TCM, DC, Adult Swim, and others. It would be fairly simple for HBO to just add more sections for Discovery properties such as the Travel Channel, HGTV, and the other 80 plus

Motherhood Can Be Hell: HBO Delivers The Trailer For New Horror-Comedy Series “The Baby”

Ahead of its premiere this April, HBO has released the trailer for their new horror-comedy series “The Baby” which presents a darkly funny, raw examination of motherhood, from the perspective of a woman who doesn’t want to be one.

George R. R. Martin Calls The New “House Of The Dragon” Series “Dark” And “Powerful”

The new prequel series to “Game of Thrones,” “House of the Dragon” has fans excited, but they aren’t the only ones excited about the series, George R.R. Martin, whose novels “GOT” is based on, is psyched. Martin, who has seen the rough cut, has teased that fans won’t be disappointed this time, and after the pathetic finale of “GOT,” that says a lot. On Martin’s blog, he reminds fans that even though there are several Marvel series, a “Lord of the Rings” series and Netflix’s adaptation of Neill Gaiman’s “Sandman,” “House of the Dragon” is at the top of IMDb’s most anticipated pole. He also had this to say: “I am anticipating ‘House of the Dragon’ pretty eagerly myself, for what it’s worth. Okay, I am hardly objective. And I know a lot of what you will be seeing. (I, um, wrote the book). Also … mum’s the word now, don’t tell anyone… I’ve seen a rough cut of the
