Zach Galligan Is Returning For HBO Max’s New Series “Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai’

Original Gremlins star Zach Galligan is returning for a new role in HBO Max’s upcoming animated prequel series “Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai,” which tells the story of how 10-year-old Sam Wing acquired Gizmo back in the 1920s. “I can’t say too much but because it’s 1920s China, I’m not playing Billy because he wasn’t around,” Galligan said at SDCC. “So I’m playing this cool character. It was really fun and amazing to work with a new group of creative people who are taking a fresh look at the franchise and are expanding the mythology—who knows what they’re going to add. Maybe they’ll add a new transformation or a new rule we don’t know about yet… I think Gremlins fans are going to eat it up.” It looks like Zach Galligan will be back in Gremlins once again! Although, this time it won’t be as the Billy that we are used to. Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai is an all-new

Creator Confirms ‘Final Destination 6’ Is A Fresh Take On The Formula

The Final Destination franchise is a horror fan favorite thanks to its creative kills.

While he won’t be directly involved, he does know the details. “The good thing is Craig Perry – who… I call ‘the godfather of the project’ – he’s always kept me in the loop of what’s going on.

HBO Working On “Game Of Thrones” Sequel Series About Jon Snow

The “Game of Thrones” prequel “House of the Dragon” will premiere this summer, but it’s not the only “GOT” series that may be on its way. We already told you about several, but according to Deadline, HBO is also working on a sequel to “GOT,” this time centering on Mr. “Know Nothing” Jon Snow. And what would a Jon Snow series be without Kit Harrington? Reportedly, he will be returning. In the final lack-luster season, Jon Snow discovers that his real identity is that of Aegon Targaryen, heir to the Iron Throne. That also means he was sleeping with his aunt, Daenerys Targaryen (*shutters). Jon left Westeros on a journey to the north of the wall, leading Wildlings, the last we saw him. As long as the original cast reprises their roles, it’s guaranteed to be better than the final season of “GOT.” The other “GOT” series HBO reportedly has in the works are reportedly titled “10,000 Ships” (aka Nymeria)
