After the death of a third horse on the set of Luck and two episodes into the production of season two, HBO has cancelled the series.

Good news for those hoping NBC renews Community for a forth season: Comedy Central has bought the syndication rights.

A gruesome poster for Game of Thrones‘ second season has been unveiled (warning: spoilers for season one).

CBS has renewed…almost everything, including The Good Wife, 2 Broke Girls, How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory.

CSI vet William Petersen is developing Hurt People with GK-TV, which he will executive produce and star in.

Showtime’s Weeds and Episodes will return July 1, airing at 10pm and 10:30 respectively.

Jenna Elfman will play Bill Pullman’s wife, and Josh Gad and Amara Miller’s step-mother, in NBC’s 1600 Penn. 

Ulrich Thomsen (The Thing, Fringe) has joined Banshee, from Alan Ball and House‘s Greg Yaitanes.
