We have a bunch of Game of Thrones news. 11 Days:
This is a gallery of dead Game of Thrones characters you might have forgotten. And while obviously you have not forgotten Khal Drogo or King Robert (I MEAN, COME ON), I don’t know that I realized that Ros was one of the prostitutes that King Joffrey tortured to death. How’d I miss that?
Sophie Turner wants Sansa Stark to kill some more fuckers. YES. DO IT, SANSA. THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF PEOPLE LEFT WHO NEED SOME KILLING.
Speaking of, watch your back, Littlefinger. You are the odds-on favorite to die first this season and Arya is headed your direction.
Meanwhile, Game of Thrones is scouting locations for season 8 and sniffing around some castles in Spain. HOW ARE YOU NOT ALREADY FILMING SEASON 8, GUYS? CHOP CHOP.
Game of Thrones: The Exhibition will be returning later this year. No cities or dates have been announced yet, though; all we know is that it will begin in Europe.
Hodor lives thanks to this KFC ad:
Hey, here’s a Walking Dead comic spoiler that suggests Jesus might be getting a love interest sometime in the future.
Netflix needs to renew GLOW immediately. How has Netflix not renewed GLOW already? RENEW GLOW, NETFLIX.
Margaret Atwood wants Drake to have a cameo in the second season of The Handmaid’s Tale in the most Canadian news of the day.
Battlestar Galactica is going to have a reunion at Comic-Con, Battlestar nerds.
In Cable News News
The White House very well may try to use the AT&T/Time Warner merger to threaten CNN. So that’s great and not dangerous at all. Jeff Zucker says that they won’t be intimidated. Let’s hope.
Meanwhile, in Poland, Trump says that CNN took the wrestling gif “too seriously,” before attacking CNN and NBC, calling them “fake news” again.

Meanwhile, Ted Cruz has some dumb thoughts on the dumb non-controversy involving CNN and that Redditor who, again, is not a 15-year-old.
Oh, and Tomi Lahren and Chelsea Handler will have a debate at the end of the month because this is the world we live in now.
In Development
- Imagine Television is turning Patricia Lockwood’s memoir, Priestdaddy, into a limited series. Let’s hope they rethink that name.
- The Mayans MC pilot is being recast and reshot, so that’s not great news.
- Channel 4 is developing Baghdad Central, a 6-part series.
Casting News
- So, Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park left Hawaii Five-0 because fuck compensation policies that don’t pay Asian actors as much as their White counterparts. Daniel Dae Kim remains a class act about the whole thing while CBS is trying to claim that they “tried very hard” to keep the actors. Oh, really? Did you offer them the same amount as their co-stars? No? Then you didn’t try that hard. And, CBS? Considering how very White your network is, you’re not in a position to lose any actors of color.
- Andy Garcia is your new Ricardo Montalban.
- Ian Buchanan is returning to The Bold and the Beautiful.
- Bill Nighy and Catherine Keener are joining Ordeal of Innocence, an Agatha Christie miniseries from BBC.
- Michael Cyril Creighton (Spotlight, High Maintenance) is joining Graves; Rahul Parikh is joining Counterpart.
