Apparently, “Therese and her sister” is not a big enough demographic to keep a series on the air, and FX has cancelled Tyrant after three seasons. There’s a little hope that someone else could give it a home, but let’s all be honest: it ain’t gonna happen. R.I.P. Tyrant. You weren’t great, but you were fun.
All good things must end, even Supernatural. (But don’t worry, it’s not happening any time soon.)
Stand down: Angela Lansbury is not going to be in season 7 of Game of Thrones after all. But I have many questions about this rumor: namely how did it get started in the first place? Angela Lansbury is a very specific name to start throwing around, right?
We have a winner in the Game of Thrones election. And Tenacious D wrote a whole song for him.
Netflix has put out two very compelling — and competing — trailers for their upcoming Amanda Knox documentary:
If you think it’s so easy to be a Live! co-host, why don’t you take a shot at it?
We are less than a week away from the American Horror Story premiere, and I have a new theory what the theme is: Tooth Fairy. Oh, and don’t watch this teaser if you hate spiders or teeth or screaming or screaming spiders with teeth.
Can’t wait until November? Here’s the first page of the Gilmore Girls‘ script, kids.
Greg Nicotero in an interview with Entertainment Weekly: “But I’d say in retrospect, I don’t think we would have changed anything. I would have still supported doing it the way that we did it, because of the fact that the story doesn’t end there. If we would have shown the deaths, then they wouldn’t have felt our characters in season 7 the way they need to.”
Oh my goodness, might Negan kill more than one person? WE HADN’T EVEN CONSIDERED THAT POSSIBILITY, GUYS.
Here’s another creepy Channel Zero teaser. I’m all about this show, guys.
After 10 years, Jessica Biel is returning to television in an attempt to be known as something more than Justin Timberlake’s wife.
In other development news:
- Kevin Connolly, that one guy from Entourage — no, not that guy; no, not him; no, the other guy — will be in Fox’s lady baseball show, Pitch.
- Hulu is developing a fantasy series, Queen of Shadows, based on the Throne of Glass book series.
- There’s drama behind the scenes on Lee Daniel’s new show, Superstar, with one of the co-showrunners stepping down already.

Therese, her sister, and this reader all watched Tyrant and tried to keep it going. RIP Tyrant.
Count me into the watcher group. My son and a couple of co-workers also enjoyed it. RIP Tyrant, you’ll be missed.
I’ve been with Tyrant since day 1. Going to miss what was a really well done (if not a bit too soapy) drama.
