6 hours ago
The Vampire Diaries may have wrapped up season 4 with some major cliffhangers, but you won’t see the immediate aftermath in the fall premiere.
“It’s a time jump,” exec producer Julie Plec tells EW. ”Summer has passed in which poor Stefan has been suffering at the bottom of the quarry and Damon and Elena have been having hot lovin’ sex.”
Though the premiere will pick up with move-in day at college (yes, they’re actually enrolling!), Plec promises fans will get to see some of the steamy action that went down over break.

'New Girl' stars cuddle up for fall promo poster, behind-the-scenes video -- First Look
7 hours ago
Oh, loftmates, we’ve missed you so! Fox rolls out its new key art for New Girl’s third season tomorrow, and the bright-and-bubbly image is emblazoned with the cheeky slogan, “Friends don’t let friends do friends.” That would be in reference, of course, to the burgeoning romance between Jess (Zooey Deschanel) and Nick (Jake Johnson). Perhaps the new couple’s friends are still adjusting, but we couldn’t be happier to find out where the “roomfriends”‘ relationship will lead.
The key art is fun, eye-popping, and chock full o’ personality (hey there, Nick’s turtle face!), hinting at »

Pointing to the two-year development deal he just made with Dexter showrunner Scott Buck, Nevins said with a smile, “draw your own conclusions.”
Huh?
Afterwards, Nevins clarified to a group of reporters that “we are really not dealing with it at all until we are through with this season and maybe a while thereafter.” But he definitely left the door open for some kind of spinoff.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen this before: Syfy’s social media sensation Sharknado just delivered its biggest audience yet. Not for its premiere airing. Not for its second airing. But for its third airing — weeks after the film’s original telecast.
The campy horror film delivered a record 2.1 million total viewers, and 791K adults 18-49, on Saturday night. That’s the most-watched encore for an original movie in Syfy history.
What’s particularly impressive about the performance is that the film’s debut telecast — despite generating massive buzz on Twitter, clocking a whirlwind 5,000 tweets per minute during its »

'Reign' boss defends show's relaxed approach to historical accuracy
10 hours ago
CW’s upcoming drama Reign centers on the story of a young Mary Queen of Scots, but today producers defended the series against critics who said the show often ignores historical facts.
“I think each episode will educate people on what element of history helps our story and I think there is a certain amount of latitude in terms of dramatizing events,” executive producer Laurie McCarthy said today during the show’s panel during the TCA press tour. “There are many things that never made it onto the pages of history, and I also wondered what was the castle was like on a Tuesday morning, »

'Breaking Bad' teaser: Look on Walt's works, ye mighty, and despair!
12 hours ago
The bad news: There is no footage from Breaking Bad’s final eight episodes in the following teaser.
The good news: The teaser does contain evocative images of locations featured in AMC’s drama — the vast New Mexico desert, a busy Albuquerque street, a telltale green and yellow Vamanos Pest Control tent — fading in and out as Bryan Cranston recites Percy Bysshe Shelley’s sonnet Ozymandias, a tale of hubris and fallen empires. The clip’s the sort of thing that would seem pretentious coming from another series — but for Breaking, it’s just right. Check it out below:

There was a TMZ report over the weekend that claimed Reid would not be asked back for the buzzy Sharknado sequel, but Asylum executive David Latt, which produced the Twitter-friendly television movie alongside Syfy, tells EW that couldn’t be further from the truth, and he has no idea where the report came from.
