Instead of constantly bashing our heads against our laptops over why Superhero, Science Fiction/Fantasy, Horror, Action, and Animation largely get ignored during awards season, why not create an award that recognizes the excellence in those specific genres? That exactly what the Critics Choice Association (CCA) did, with the inaugural Critics Choice Super Awards set to […]
The charm and talents of Cybill Shepherd will be joining the production of a new Showtime comedy pilot, I Love This For You, in a starring role.

A little more than a month after news broke that Michael C. Hall, showrunner Clyde Phillips, and Showtime were teaming up to bring Dexter back, frequent Phillips collaborator Marcos Siega (Batwoman, The Flight Attendant, Veronica Mars) has officially joined the project.

While Halo fans had much to celebrate on Tuesday when Showtime and Pablo Schreiber (American Gods) announced that the live-action series adaptation was back in production, it does so with another change of note. Nearly a week ago, we learned that director M.J. Bassett (Strike Back, Altered Carbon) was forced to step away from the project after […]
Moonbase 8 is quite possibly the worst show of 2020. A useless Showtime show about useless people, it is unfunny, untrue, and lazy, but it reveals a lot more about our times than it intended to. The show stars John C. Reilly, Fred Armisen, and Tim Heidecker as a trio of reserve astronauts relegated to […]
Good news found its way to Halo fans on Tuesday, with Showtime and Pablo Schreiber (American Gods) announcing that their live-action series adaptation was back in production. Stepping into the role of Master Chief, Schreiber has been in pure workout mode with the #MakingMasterChief challenge to guarantee that he does right by the character and […]
Showtime's new series Moonbase 8 may not actually take place on the real moon, but that doesn't mean it's not still out of this world. As Bleeding Cool's chief moon news correspondent (not to be confused with the site's senior sad astronaut correspondent), I thoroughly enjoyed the pilot and look forward to the rest of […]
With a global pandemic tearing through most of 2020, it's understandable that the dozens of television productions will be running into some pretty rollercoaster-like days ahead- with many already dealing with the "stop/starts" and changes that come from schedules having to be rebuilt. Perfect example? Showtime's live-action Halo series with Pablo Schreiber (American Gods) stepping […]
Emmy nominee Fred Armisen (Portlandia), Tim Heidecker (Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!), and Golden Globe and Academy Award nominee John C.

Welcome back to another serving of BCTV Sunday Slices, where we personally curate a line-up of articles from the past week in Bleeding Cool's television/cable/streaming/online coverage to offer some additional thoughts and perspectives.

With the upcoming limited legal thriller set to premiere this December, Showtime has released a second official trailer for the Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad)-starring Your Honor.

Welcome back to another edition of BCTV Sunday Slices, where I take a look back at the past week in Bleeding Cool's television coverage and select a few articles to highlight and offer some perspective.

Only days after the surprising news that Michael C. Hall, showrunner Clyde Phillips, and Showtime were teaming up to bring Dexter back as a 10-episode limited series revival, the internet began tripping over itself with the hope that the series will find a way to fix the mess that was the 2013 series finale. Now […]
On our scale of the best-to-worst series finales that we've seen, Showtime's 2015 series finale to Michael C. Hall-starring series Dexter has been our example of how not to end a series- essentially, our "1" on a 1-10 scale. So news that Hall, showrunner Clyde Phillips, and the cable network are reteaming for a limited […]
Welcome back to another serving of BCTV Sunday Slices, where I take a look at the past week in BCTV's coverage to offer a thought or two on the topic. Once again, the views expressed here are my own and don't necessarily reflect on the rest of the fine folks at Bleeding Cool. Which is […]
Fans of Showtime's Billions were treated to a trifecta of news on Thursday, with the cable network announcing that the Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti-starring series will be back for a sixth season.
