Today in show business news: A big change is coming to Two and a Half Men, Arnold Schwarzenegger sells a bodybuilding show to Showtime, and Homeland adds a cast member.
Despite a Showtime release about "the world's most wanted terrorist" in the new season, there may remain — beyond any assumptions that said "global manhunt" would consume all of season three — reasons to get all excited before September 29.
The comparisons between Showtime's hit and FX's new show were bound to happen. And while viewers should always give every non-spinoff show its own chance, after watching the first two episodes last night we couldn't help but find even more similarities:
Out of deference to the victims' families, and also in a likely effort to avoid controversy, movie studios and television networks have altered their schedules and amended their plans. Also: dictionaries.
Today in show business news: Vin Diesel has a potentially big new project in the works, Bill Clinton and Martin Scorsese join forces, and Showtime had a big ratings night.
If the reactions from the TV pundit class are to be believed, we're going to say yes, tentatively, but we're also going to wait, eagerly, for season three.
This might be as meta as it gets. The man behind Homeland-inspired account @SergeantBrody is none other than Parks and Recreation star Aziz Ansari.
A humble request to all the Internet whiners, on the occasion of the end of a ridiculous second season: Remember that Showtime's Big Important Show was never that good to begin with. Just enjoy the silly trip.
If the penultimate episode of the second season of Homeland has gotten you down, fear not: The people behind that totally thrilling and now sometimes disappointing show are teaming up again.
Today in show business news: Channing Tatum takes a break, Homeland beats its older brother, and Seth MacFarlane does whatever he wants.
One thing's for sure about last night's episode of Homeland: It was kind of bonkers. But how bonkers, really?
The Saturday Night Live writers cemented their love for Homeland with a (by all accounts) fantastic send up this week.
For the TV-obsessed among us who got our power back after a long post-Hurricane week, Sunday night was a return to new programming after a tedious drought. And, oof, what a welcome back it was. Three big shows — Boardwalk Empire, Homeland, and The Walking Dead — featured shocking deaths last night.
If you didn't watch last night's Homeland because you were too busy watching the same hurricane news repeated over and over again for hours, stop reading now!
Showtime has just renewed the tingly spy drama for a third season. The decision was a no-brainer, as the show has earned Showtime its first best series Emmy, and the ratings, once only fair, have grown steadily so far this season. But how are they going to do it??
La Lohan will soon be making her debut on Lifetime. Also today in showbiz news: Homeland and Dexter are bigger than ever, a '90s band favorite gets her own reality show, and Kelly Bundy heads back to SNL.
Last night was the most intense night of television so far this season—not necessarily because of the nature of the content, but because there was simply so much of it. Here's how we strategized for the big Sunday night.
Showtime's much-lauded thriller series Homeland shouldn't get too comfortable in its new spot as the darling of television dramas. We're sensing some impending danger.
A summary of the best reads found behind the paywall of The New York Times.
The Emmys have always been a pretty conservative awards ceremony, with things rarely getting too radical. Last night's show was no different, as cozy, comfy crowd-pleaser Modern Family won three of the five big comedy awards (plus Best Direction) and Two and a Half Men's boring old Jon Cryer took Best Actor.
The second season premiere of Homeland, Showtime's jangly good espionage thriller, premieres next month, and to get us all excited they've released a rather artsy new teaser showing us some new footage.
We hate to see them go, we love to watch them leave. Yes, two Showtime shows, Dexter and Homeland, had crackerjack season finales last night.
Now that nearly all the new shows of the fall TV season have premiered (Once Upon a Time and Grimm both unmagically limped onto the scene last week), let's take a look at who we like the best right now. From listless New Yorkers to men with half a face, these are our favorite TV characters right now.
