Bond 25, the untitled next James Bond film, is now in need of a director and there are reports that Christopher McQuarrie, the Oscar-winner who directed Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation and Mission: Impossible - Fallout, may be one of the top choices by MGM and Eon Productions.

These Walking Dead Photos Offer New Clues for Season 9

AMC has released 12 new photos from The Walking Dead Season 9, and the first look images offer a few tantalizing clues about what to expect from the upcoming episodes, which will say farewell to Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes and Lauren Cohan's Maggie Rhee.

We still don't know how Rick and Maggie will exit the show (while we think it would make sense for Rick to die, Cohan has expressed interest in potentially returning, depending on scheduling for her ABC dramedy Whiskey Cavalier), but the Season 8 finale set up a potential conflict between the two characters after Rick decided to spare Negan's life, despite Maggie's desire for vengeance after the bat-wielding psychopath killed her husband, Glenn.

Why It’s Time for The Big Bang Theory to End

August 22 marked the end of an era, as CBS and Warner Bros. Television announced that the upcoming 12th season of The Big Bang Theory will be the show's last.

A 12 year run is longer than most showrunners could even dream of, so it's hard to argue that The Big Bang Theory is ending prematurely. All the more so considering that the series has now set the record for being the longest-running multi-camera series ever. And whether you're a hardcore fan of the show or staunchly opposed to all things Sheldon Cooper, the impending end of The Big Bang Theory should be seen as a blessing.

Connie Britton and Dylan McDermott Are Returning for American Horror Story: Apocalypse

Connie Britton and Dylan McDermott, the stars of the first season of American Horror Story, are reportedly returning for AHS: Apocalypse.

As reported by TheWrap, both actors will begin shooting their scenes this week. The return of these two stars was anticipated, largely because the newest season of AHS is a crossover between the first season, AHS: Murder House, and the third season, AHS: Coven. Britton has not returned to the show since its first season and McDermott hasn’t been back since appearing in five episodes of the second season.

Britton and McDermott played husband and wife in the first season after moving into a house haunted by the ghosts of its previous occupants, and their own pasts. It appears both actors will reprise their original roles for this crossover.
