What do you do when you’re on break from opening for Metallica’s world tour? In the case of Ice Nine Kills, you gather a couple thousand of your biggest fans for an unforgettable rock show.
For the second consecutive year, the Massachusetts-based band headlined a concert as part of Silver Scream Con, a horror convention curated by Ice Nine Kills mastermind Spencer Charnas. After last year’s intimate performance effortlessly sold out the 850-seat Cabot Theater in Beverly, Ma, this year’s event was booked at the Lynn Memorial Auditorium in Lynn, Ma. Despite having more than double the capacity at 2,112, it sold out in advance.
Following an introduction by SiriusXM metal ambassador Jose Mangin and the dulcet tones of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ “Red Right Hand” from Scream, Ice Nine Kills – frontman Charnas, guitarist Ricky Armellino, bassist Joe Occhiuti, drummer Patrick Galante, and fill-in guitarist...

Lex marked the spot on Tuesday’s Superman & Lois, as the Man of Steel’s most iconic adversary (now played by The Walking Dead‘s Michael Cudlitz) finally touched down in Smallville.
But this isn’t your father’s, or even your grandfather’s, Lex Luthor. He’s still a bald billionaire — arguably the character’s two key requirements — but his slick, well-groomed facade has been replaced by the kind of gruff, bearded nightmare you’d never want to encounter in a dark alley. Think less Succession and more Sons of Anarchy.

The official trailer for Expendables 4, written as Expend4bles – looks great in print, sounds weird if you say it as it’s spelled – shows Jason Statham and Megan Fox getting physical while the tagline declares: “Some relationships are built to last and some relationships are…Expendable.” The two-minute trailer then shows action fans a montage of select members of the ensemble cast, including Sylvester Stallone, Curtis 50 Cent Jackson, Dolph Lundgren, and Andy Garcia.
Directed by Scott Waugh, the fourth film of the action franchise also stars Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, Randy Couture, Jacob Scipio, and Levy Tran.
Kurt Wimmer, Tad Daggerhart, and Max Adams wrote the screenplay, based on characters created by David Callaham. Avi Lerner, Trevor Short, Boaz Davidson, Robert Van Norden, Jeffrey Greenstein, Jonathan Yunger, Spenser Cohen, Anna Halberg, and Stephen Paul executive produce.

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story is a Bridgerton spinoff series that shows us how life was in the Ton during the early days of Queen Charlotte and King George’s marriage. We get to see how they meet and fall in love, how her reign leads to social change in the Ton, and how she became the strong and influential Queen that we see in Bridgerton’s first two seasons. But just because this series introduces us to younger versions of familiar characters doesn’t mean that it’s stuck in the past. Queen Charlotte also features an arc set in the “present day” Regency era of the original series that focuses on Charlotte, Lady Danbury, and Violet Bridgerton’s friendship.
Between both eras, Queen Charlotte has a massive cast full of new and familiar faces. If you want to be as up to date on the hot gossip of the ton as Lady Whistledown,...

No TV show has truly had a series finale as long as the network or streaming service can produce a revival. TV sitcoms like Full House, Saved by the Bell, and Will & Grace returned. Dramas have reunited their casts, or at least passed the torch to the next generation. Here are six of the best TV drama revivals of the last decade.
Raymond Lee and Caitlin Bassett | Ron Batzdorff/NBC ‘Dallas’ revived the TV drama until real-life tragedy occurred
TNT brought back the hit drama Dallas with original cast members Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy, and Linda Gray as the original Ewings. Jesse Metcalfe, Josh Henderson, Jordana Brewster, Julie Gonzalo, and Emma Bell played the new generation battling over the family oil business.
Unfortunately, Hagman died while filming the second season. The show quickly adjusted existing footage to explain J.R. Ewing’s off screen death, but the show could never recover.

After its disappointing ending, Dexter was rebooted with Dexter: New Blood, which gave fans of the show a satisfying conclusion. However, the series once again ended on a cliffhanger, leaving a possibility of continuing with future seasons. Dexter: New Blood Season 2 is now confirmed to be happening and should follow Harrison (Jack Alcott) as he deals with the aftermath of the shocking conclusion of Season 1. With Dexter (Michael C. Hall) no longer taking center stage in New Blood, and instead being the lead in a new Dexter spin-off series, there is valid worry that Season 2 will not

The upcoming Dexter: Origins looks to give fans of Michael C. Hall‘s iconic character a look at the events that led Dexter to becoming a killer.

I’m onto you, Taylor Sheridan & Co.
You’re going to keep throwing 1923‘s Spencer and Alex into situations that should kill them. But then they’ll survive — like they do this week in the aftermath of the tugboat-vs.-ghost-ship mess, thank goodness — and the more that happens, the more we’ll get lulled into a sense that their love, their sense of adventure and their egregious level of attractiveness somehow make them bulletproof. And then Alex will get an infected paper cut or something, and it’ll be curtains. Devastatingly sad curtains.

Last week, it was said that Showtime wouldn’t be ordering another season of the Dexter revival Dexter: New Blood – which made a lot of sense, given what happened in the season finale. Clyde Phillips, who served as showrunner on the first four seasons of Dexter and on Dexter: New Blood, said he would be interested in working on a show called Harrison, which would follow the story of Dexter’s son… and now People reports that Phillips is going to have the chance to tell a story that revolves around Harrison. But apparently the show isn’t going to be called Harrison. Instead, it’s being referred to as “a new version” of Dexter: New Blood. So Dexter: New Blood will continue after all, with the new season set to depict the ongoing emergence of Dexter’s son Harrison.

It’s time to buckle up your Dark Passengers folks – it looks like Dexter Morgan, everybody’s favourite homicidal psychopath, is coming back (again!). Following the completion of Paramount+’s merger with Showtime last week, The Wall Street Journal confirmed yesterday that multiple Dexter spin-offs – as well as a follow-up to the hugely successful New Blood revival series – are in the works.
First up, there’s been a straight-to-series order for a prequel show, Dexter: Origins. Set in Dexter’s hometown, Miami, the series will follow the beginnings of Morgan’s murderous path after joining the Miami Metro while touching on the stories of real life killers from the time. The show promises to give fans a chance to meet younger versions of characters from the original series; the prospect of seeing a teenage Deb and an altogether more alive Harry is a tantalising one indeed.

‘Motorway’ Director In The Driving Seat
Cheang Pou Soi (better known as Soi Cheang) whose latest film “Mad Fate” will premiere this month at the Berlin Film Festival, will be further honored next month when the Hong Kong International Film Festival makes him its Filmmaker in Focus.
He was born in Macau, but gained his footing in the much larger Hong Kong film industry, under the tutelage of Ringo Lam, Andrew Lau, Joe Ma, Wilson Yip and Johnnie To. He achieved a breakthrough with 1999 digital video “Our Last Day.”
“Cheang is a key figure among Hong Kong’s post-1997 generation of filmmakers and notable for his sombre but unmistakably personal visual style,” Hkiff Society director Albert Lee said in a statement. “He seldom deviates from mainstream storytelling conventions, but innovatively explores new boundaries of filmmaking across different genres, from horror and thriller to action films.

The 47th Hong Kong International Film Festival (HKIFF47) will honour Soi Cheang as this year’s Filmmaker-in-Focus.
One of Hong Kong’s most stylish and formidable directors, Cheang joins an illustrious and growing list of recent Hkiff Filmmakers-in-Focus, including Sandra Ng, Stanley Kwan, Michael Hui, Sammo Hung and Brigitte Lin.
Returning to its traditional dates after last year’s postponement, HKIFF47 will take place from 30 March to 10 April. At the centre of this year’s cinephile extravaganza is the showcase of Cheang’s 12 seminal works, the publication of a commemorative book and, in collaboration with long-term festival partner Moleskine, the release of a limited edition notebook.

This article contains major spoilers for "Dexter: New Blood."
If there's one way to rile up the internet, all you need to do is bring up the series finale of "Dexter." The Showtime crime drama, which ran for eight seasons, saw the titular serial killer vigilante seemingly meet his end after driving his boat into the middle of a hurricane as his way to pay for his destructive actions. But in a last little moment, we see that Dexter (Michael C. Hall) is still alive, moonlighting as a lumberjack somewhere. For years, devoted series followers had to sit with that head-scratcher of an ending, that is, until "Dexter: New Blood" picked up a decade after the self-imposed exile.
The sequel series was relatively well-received, as it gave folks who were unhappy with the ending another chance to see Dexter's journey receive a more fitting conclusion. For the most part, it was a pretty engaging reintroduction,...

When Dexter: New Blood wrapped its run in January 2022, there were plenty of questions.
None of those questions centered on the fate of the franchise's leading man, Dexter Morgan.
At the end of Dexter: New Blood, the titular killer was dead, and Showtime -- and key creatives -- were not ruling out following Dexter's son, Harrison, in a potential second season of the revival.
A year later, that project is officially dead and, err, buried
TV Line reported Tuesday that the project would not be moving forward with a follow-up to New Blood.
The decision is somewhat surprising.
New Blood scared up enormous numbers for Showtime, but maybe the cabler didn't think the franchise was viable without Michael C. Hall.
It would be a tough sell to have a show set in the Dexter universe without the titular character, so maybe it's not a bad thing that Showtime is moving on from the series.

If you haven’t watched Dexter: New Blood, there will be spoilers. Eight years after Dexter concluded, Showtime brought the Michael C. Hall series back for Dexter: New Blood. The series was conceived as a limited series, but its success led to the network considering a second season. TVLine has heard that Dexter: New Blood won’t continue, but that Showtime is considering a Dexter prequel series instead.
Showrunner Clyde Phillips wanted to use Dexter: New Blood as an opportunity to set things right and conclude Dexter’s story in a more satisfactory manner. The limited series found the serial killer with a heart of gold reuniting with his son Harrison (Jack Alcott). While attempting to bond with his now grown-up child, they begin investigating a sinister killer hiding in plain sight in their small town. The finale found Dexter breaking his own code by killing an innocent man and...

Showtime is letting dead things lie as the premium channel kills off hopes for a second season of Dexter: New Blood, the sequel spinoff to their former Emmy darling, Dexter. According to TV Line, New Blood is officially dead in the water as Showtime plans to pivot with its future for the tormented serial killer. As fans will recall, Dexter ran on Showtime from 2006 to 2013 and it followed the criminal exploits of serial killer Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall). Following a less-than-satisfying finale, viewers finally got some answers about what happened to Dexter following the original show’s run when the sequel spinoff debuted in 2022. (Credit: Seacia Pavao/Showtime) The show’s concluding episode certainly set up a path for Dexter’s son Harrison (Jack Alcott) who reunited with him partway through the season. After Dexter’s misdeeds in town, Harrison follows in dear old dad’s footsteps, killing the titular serial killer.

Titled “Dexter: New Blood,” the brand new revival season of Showtime’s “Dexter” was a huge hit for the network, becoming the most-watched series in Showtime history. The series averaged over 8 million viewers weekly across platforms, proving that there’s still demand for more stories in the “Dexter” universe. But are we getting another season of “New Blood”?
According to TV Line this week, Showtime is Not moving forward with “Dexter: New Blood” Season 2 – but that certainly doesn’t mean we’ve seen the last of the fan-favorite character.
TV Line reports, “According to insiders, Showtime — which will soon merge with Paramount+ — is exploring a number of new iterations of Dexter, including a prequel series centered around a young version of the titular antihero.”
The finale of “Dexter: New Blood” ended with the murder of Michael C. Hall‘s Dexter Morgan, suggesting the revival season was indeed a true and final finale for the series.

Acoustic trio Nickel Creek have reunited to announce a new album and release their first new music in nine years. Celebrants, the follow-up to Chris Thile, Sean Watkins, and Sara Watkins’ 2014 release A Dotted Line, will arrive March 24.
The album’s first single is “Strangers,” which revolves around a swift finger-style guitar part and lead vocal from Sean Watkins.

Selling Sunset creator Adam Divello has spoken out about the terrifying infinity pool scene from season five.
The recent season of the Netflix real estate reality show saw new broker Emma Hernan run across the ledge of one of the house’s dauntingly high infinity pools to pose for a photo.
Sitting down for Variety’s “Making a Scene”, Divello and stars Chrishelle Staus and Hernan broke down the moment from episode two’s “New Blood” that left viewers horrified.
“I thought production was going to step in,” Straus said. “This is one of those things that I legitimately thought, ‘There’s no way on this set...I can’t be the only one that’s going to object to this.’”
“No one stopped me. I figured ehh it’s really dangerous, someone will stop me,” Hernan explained. “I’m clumsy, so I probably shouldn’t be doing those things.

It was easy to be skeptical when Dexter: New Blood was first announced. The descent into ignominy of the original series is well documented by this point, with the Monty Python-evoking finale infamous even among those who never watched the show.
But a dud finale wasn’t Dexter’s only crime, nor the only reason a continuation was a dicey proposition. While the first four seasons remain respected for their dark humor, thorny moral questions, and devastating twists, the second half of the series did everything in its power to squander any goodwill. The finale cops a lot of flack, but it’s still not as bad as the entire run of Dexter’s bafflingly awful sixth season. That the ending would fail to impress after such lows was, really, a foregone conclusion.
As such nobody was exactly losing their minds over the prospect of a revival,...

Regardless of what some fans and critics thought about Showtime’s Dexter revival, Dexter: New Blood has officially become the network’s most-watched series of all time. The show’s 10-episode run averaged around 8 million viewers a week. That’s more than Showtime’s previous signature series, Homeland, and the 3 million viewers that watched the Dexter: New Blood finale helped the revival overcome Homeland season 3’s finale in 2013 to become the most watched season finale on the network. Further, two million of those viewers came from streaming and on-demand platforms, setting another new record for Showtime.

This Dexter: New Blood review contains spoilers.
Not many shows get a second chance at a finale. But then again, not many shows’ first finales are as bad as Dexter’s was.
After the original Dexter series finale back in 2013 was received, let’s say, less than warmly, Showtime decided to try it again. Following a seven year cool-off period, the network invited original showrunner Clyde Phillips back to envision a new end for Bay Harbor Butcher in the limited series Dexter: New Blood.
Now Dexter: New Blood’s new ending has come and gone and despite mixed fan reaction, it’s hard to argue that it isn’t an improvement…or at least we believe it is. Still, while Dexter: New Blood did an excellent job in wrapping up Dexter’s story once and for all, it left some secondary Dexter characters out in the cold. That’s partly...

A polarizing Dexter finale is better than a universally derided one, right? Dexter: New Blood, the revival of Showtime’s hit drama, finished its run last night with a definitive ending that is leagues above the original swan song, but still controversial among the Dexter faithful. Once fans get over the shock that it’s a wrap for ol’ darkly dreaming Dexter, they’ll realize the serial killer’s fate in Dexter: New Blood was the only ending for the character.
Does Dexter Die in Dexter: New Blood?
The only reason to bring Dexter back was to hold him accountable for his behavior. New Blood rightfully asked the audience to reexamine the charming yet sociopathic killer, whom they viewed more like a Batman-esque vigilante than a murder junkie who would stop at nothing to get his next fix. But Dexter is no hero.

Ever since the Critics Choice Awards started honoring television fare in 2011, they’ve had an eye on the future. The Broadcast Television Journalists Association clearly gets a kick out of rewarding up-and-coming shows for their first seasons. Three freshman dramas — “Homeland,” “Mr. Robot” and “The Handmaid’s Tale” — won Best Drama Series here before going on to take top Emmys. And Showtime’s buzzed-about “Yellowjackets” could be the next. It recently reaped Critics Choice bids for Best Drama Series and Best Drama Actress (Melanie Lynskey).

With the conclusion of Dexter: New Blood Season 1, fans are going through the motions.
The original series finale got everything wrong, and despite some big flaws, Dexter: New Blood Season 1 Episode 10 was a more satisfactory conclusion.
Still, there are questions about whether the show could go on.
If you watch Dexter: New Blood online, you know the finale killed off Michael C. Hall's titular character at the hands of his son Harrison.
Harrison ultimately evaded justice as Angela Bishop showed up to give him money to escape town and start a new life.
There have long been theories that the show could continue without Dexter at the wheel of the story, and all eyes are on a potential second season or sequel series with Harrison.
"As you can imagine, that’s not the first time I’ve been asked that," showrunner Clyde Phillips explained to TV Line of a potential new season.

When it was announced that Showtime would be reviving Dexter after almost a decade, I was more than dubious. One of the first prestige dramas that I truly loved, I jumped at the chance to review the series when I started writing for Den of Geek in 2012. Unfortunately, the seasons that I covered could be described as disappointing at best. The show was responsible for many sins. Between clearly telegraphed twists, interesting threads stopped dead in their tracks for no apparent reason, and inconsistent characterization, the series’ chief issue was the esteem that the writers had for their lead character long after he deserved any.

When Clyde Phillips met with Michael C. Hall about returning to the role of Dexter Morgan in what would become Dexter: New Blood, he already knew the serial killer’s life would end.
Hall signed up without hesitation.
Fans of the hit Showtime series Dexter, which ran eight seasons from 2006-2013, rejoined the former Miami Metro blood spatter analyst —now known by the alias Jim Lindsay—and have enthusiastically tuned in to watch his final adventure unfold. And though that journey has now come to an end with his shocking death, the beloved franchise may continue to expand with a little help from his progeny, Harrison Morgan (Jack Alcott).

He had completely changed his life and left every part of his old life behind, until right around the time someone from his past found him.

White-knuckled and holding our collective breath, Dexter took us for a ride.
In an already superb season, Dexter: New Blood Season 1 Episode 8 has got to be one of the most streamlined episodes thus far. It was focused, well-paced, and unrelentingly suspenseful.
There's no time to waste now. Secrets are out. Everything is coming to a head.
The episode's progression from day/light to night/dark gave it a real sense of slow-building foreboding.
You said you had all day? Well, I've got news for you. The night is mine.

In the day, outside, Elric was the predator and Dexter the prey. However, as soon as night fell, Dexter reversed their roles. He channeled his desperation into a cold-blooded rage.
The whole Elric/Dexter chase sequence was very reminiscent of Fargo.
