Let's be clear: Heels star Stephen Amell's life hasn't just been filled with spandex-shape training and welcoming new members to the cast (though as you can tell from reporting, there's been a ton of both going on over the past few weeks). Every now and then, the Arrow alum gets a chance to get out, decompress, […]
Arrow star Stephen Amell wasn't kidding around when he took to Twitter last month to announce he was getting ready to start training for his upcoming indy pro-wrestling-set series STARZ series Heels. What we respected the most about his announcement was the honest reason that came with it – because as much as I'd like […]

Goodness, does Amazon ever have some good titles coming to this April! From the Tim Burton classic Beetlejuice to John Krasinski's masterful A Quiet Place, to The Tick season 2 and freaking Murder, She Wrote seasons 1-5, there is certainly something for everyone. Oh yes, and also Vikings season 5! Here's what you'll be seeing on Amazon come April 2019: […]
Katheryn Winnick, actress behind our warrior queen Lagertha from HISTORY's Vikings, has some thoughts about the 6th (and reportedly final) season of the series, including the end for her character. While talk of the series makes >this< reporter strangely emotional, we are indeed comforted by the notion that series creator and sole writer Michael Hirst hasn't […]
Tonight, the season 5 raid ends for HISTORY's Vikings, and we've got a tease of a pretty epic battle coming. If there is ONE thing the series does tremendously well, it's the fight scenes and large-scale battles. Of course Michael Hirst and co do most things with Vikings tremendously well, so it should be expected that the […]
We adore Katheryn Winnick as the HISTORY's Vikings character Lagertha, and season 5 of the historical drama has been an experience, so say the least. The cast and crew of the show have often spoken about each other as family, something we've seen first-hand during several years in pressrooms and via interviews. Turns out, at least in Winnick's […]
(Deposed) Queen Lagertha of Kattegat has certainly seen her fair share of hardships across the 5 seasons of HISTORY's Vikings. She's born children, lost a daughter, fought, lost and won wars, avenged herself against an abuser, removed a usurper, and forged unlikely alliances across multiple continents. She's buried (or burned, as the case may be) all […]
Yeah sure, everyone is running their Vikings season 6 headline that "OH NO HISTORY HAS CANCELLED THE SHOW!" but thats rather more alarmist than it should be. According to The Hollywood Reporter, a representative for HISTORY confirmed to them that yes, the series is expected to end with season 6. AND- that maybe there will be […]
For the producers, creators, actors, and networks connected to the the shows on TorrentFreak's 2018 list of most-pirtated shows, there's a lot of "glass-half-fill/glass-empty" ways to look at this year-end "honor." On the plus side, it shows that there's still a rabid interest in your series – in some instances, even after several seasons. On […]
"Television is becoming a collage – there are so many channels that you move through them making a collage yourself. In that sense, everyone sees something a bit different." – David Hockney There was a time when working for television was labelled a "demotion," a professional death sentence for movie stars whose careers were on […]
Season 5 of HISTORY's Vikings is moving along at an impressive pace that reminds us of the time creator/writer Michael Hirst said the series was like a "grown-up Game of Thrones". We can't say we disagree with his comment, especially after season 5 episode 15, "Hell". If you haven't caught up on the backhalf of season 5, you […]
Did you catch the return of HISTORY's Vikings last night? The back half of season 5 (nicknamed season 5b) premiered, and "The Revelation" did not disappoint. Things picked up directly after the loss of Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) to Ivar (Alex Høgh Andersen), and the aftermath of Björn (Alexander Ludwig), Ubbe (Jordan Patrick Smith), Torvi (Georgia […]
If you haven't noticed, HISTORY's Vikings returns THIS WEEK (tomorrow, actually), and those gems in the PR department aren't slowing down with their teases and sneak peeks. Today's offering is all about our favorite lanky boat builder Floki, played by Gustaf Skarsgård (yes, he's brother of Alexander and Bill, and son of Stellan). Life has been tough for Floki since his […]
Hopefully by now you're aware that HISTORY's Vikings returns this week for the beginning of the second half of season 5 (called season 5b). What we have here is a sneak peek of the premiere episode where defeated Queen Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) is confronted with the knowledge that Ivar (Alex Høgh Andersen) is coming to Kattegat […]
A brand new featurette for season 5b of HISTORY's Vikings was just released today, teasing the future for characters Ubbe (Jordan Patrick Smith) and Torvi (Georgia Hirst). Torvi has had one the biggest journeys for a female character on the series, from a thrice-wed mother to an extremely capable shield maiden and one of Lagertha's […]
