When The Mandalorian premiered on Disney+ in 2019, most viewers quickly became enamored with the Yodi-like Grogu. The title character could have become an afterthought, but the man behind the mask helped infuse Din Djarin with quiet charisma and heroic stoicism. In fact, I remember asking my brother who the actor playing Mando was. “That’s Pedro Pascal! He’s from Narcos.” I looked up the Netflix crime series and it seemed right up my alley.

Fast forward to 2023 and Pascal is on my screen again with the HBO adaptation of The Last of Us. Once again playing a father figure and a hardened fighter, Pascal proved his ability to play a leading role was cemented in carbonite. He was cast as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic in Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps for 2025 and by the time he appears in Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II at the end of this year,...

More than a year after Loras Tyrell was burned alive in the Great Sept, TVLine is finally interrogating the man responsible for putting him in the line of (wild)fire.

PhotosGame of Thrones: Jon and Daenerys’ First Meeting Captured

Before recurring on Freeform’s Shadowhunters, Will Tudor was busy stirring up trouble of a different sort on Game of Thrones. His character, a prostitute/spy named Olyvar, carried on a seasons-long affair with Margaery’s late brother — one which ended when he, under Cersei’s instruction, exposed Loras’ homosexual acts for which formal charges were brought against him.

After holding steady in Week 2, CBS’ Salvation with its third episode dipped 11 percent in audience and one tenth in the demo, drawing 3.8 million total viewers and a 0.6 rating.

Opening the Eye’s night, Big Brother (6.3 mil/1.7) slipped two tenths in the demo but easily led the night in both measures, delivering its third-largest audience of the season.

Over on NBC, Little Big Shots: Forever Young wrapped its run with 5.7 mil and a 0.8, hitting and matching series lows. The terminal Carmichael Show (3.3 mil/0.7) added a few eyeballs while clutching onto its demo low.

Shadowhunters' Jonathan Morgenstern is alive, if not particularly well. 

Clutching the last piece of the Mortal Instrument triumvirate, Clary Fray (Katherine McNamara) came face to face with her long-lost brother during "A Dark Reflection." Unaware of Jonathan's (Will Tudor) dual existence as Sebastian, the young Nephilim offered her sibling two choices -- take the mirror and leave, or reunite with his family. He didn't get a chance to answer -- or to request a trip to New York's finest burn unit -- but he can rest easy with the knowledge that the olive branch is still in play.

(Spoiler alert: Please do not read on if you haven’t watched Monday’s “Shadowhunters”) “Shadowhunters” viewers might not believe what they’re about to see. Dominic Sherwood, who plays Jace on the Freeform series, told TheWrap that tension continues to build between his character and villain Sebastian (Will Tudor) as the show nears the Season 2 finale. Indeed, this is likely related to the cast revealing at Comic-Con that a key character will die in the finale. “It’s dark — we’re approaching the end of the season now, so we’re coming to this big climax,” Sherwood said in an interview with TheWrap.

Not that she didn’t already, but Clary Fray is going to need so much therapy after the events of Monday’s Shadowhunters.

Forget that it's an adaptation and this new, overstuffed Dirk Gently series is actually an agreeably daft watch...

Despite the perpetually stuck sofas and the alien ghosts and time travelling, Douglas Adams’ delightfully nutty book Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency somehow completely hangs together. For all its weird digressions and laundry list of characters it was clear there was a method to the madness, and with Adams we were always in safe hands. There was never the sense that either Dirk Gently or the follow-up, The Long Dark Tea-Time Of The Soul was too scattershot and ultimately, Adams more or less pulled his various narrative strands together. Could the latest attempt to adapt the story for TV pull off the same thing?

By the end of the 1990s, Spielberg found himself in a position of unparalleled luxury. As an executive, he’d set up Amblin and DreamWorks and was enjoying success with both, while as a director he’d ridden through an uneven decade to achieve the critical success he’d longed for. Where do you go from there? What do you do when you’re the film-maker who’s done everything? Well, Spielberg himself never seemed sure of how to answer that question because during the first ten years of the new millennium he hopped from genre to genre, covering sci-fi and historical thriller, retro caper and fish-out-of-water comedy. It's one of the most eclectic decades of his career and, in my opinion at least, the...

Humans, Season One, “Episode Seven”

Written by Sam Vincent and Jonathan Brackley

Directed by China Moo-Young

Airs Sundays at 9 pm (Et) on AMC

The awakening of Mia last week represented a major breakthrough for Leo and his group, especially coupled with Fred’s escape from Hobb’s home. While the desire for Leo and his group to determine the consciousness code and make it available for other synths hit a roadblock with Max’s sacrifice, the open willingness of Laura and Mattie to help proved that the group had allies they could trust. This week’s episode sees Leo’s group and the Hawkins family connect further as Karen’s history is revealed and a key character is lost in an entertaining episode that sets up an exciting first season finale.

It’s intriguing to note Karen’s anti-synth stance this week, especially when contrasted with Niska’s pro-synth stance.

Acclaimed drama Humans will return to screens, as a second series of the sci-fi thriller has been confirmed by Channel 4 and AMC.

Featuring a cast including Gemma Chan, Tom Goodman-Hill, Katherine Parkinson and Colin Morgan, Channel 4's highest-rated original drama of the past 20 years explores the tensions between humans and humanoid robot servants known as Synths.

Before official word of the renewal came, Will Tudor revealed to Digital Spy that show bosses had big plans for a potential second series.

"I really hope it continues - as much as a viewer as someone who's in it," said the actor, who plays malfunctioning android Odi. "It explores things that I've personally not seen on screen before, and it raises a lot of questions.
