Warning! This article contains spoilers for The Regime episode 2!

The Regime is Kate Winslet's third miniseries with HBO, but it's missing Guy Pearce, a key actor from her past two outings. Winslet's character in The Regime, Chancellor Elena Vernham, shares complex chemistry with another actor, not Guy Pearce, breaking a trend. Although Guy Pearce isn't in The Regime yet, there's speculation he could make a cameo in the last few episodes, preserving his streak with Winslet.

The new political satire show The Regime is Kate Winslet’s third miniseries with HBO, but it’s missing a key part of her past two outings. The Oscar-winning actress leads the cast of HBO’s The Regime as Chancellor Elena Vernham, the eccentric leader of an unnamed country in Middle Europe who sees her palace and power crumbling around her over the course of a year. Though the miniseries received mixed reviews,...

Kate Winslet offers a somewhat encouraging status update on Mare of Easttown season 2. Winslet perfected her distinctive Delco accent to play small town detective Mare Sheehan on HBO’s acclaimed 2021 limited series. And all the hard work indeed paid off as her hard-nosed Mare of Easttown role won Winslet both an Emmy and a Golden Globe.

Now all fans want to know is whether Winslet will ever return for Mare of Easttown season 2. For her part, Winslet has indicated before that she would like to step back into the role again one day. Now in an appearance on Graham Norton to promote the upcoming Avatar 2 (via DigitalSpy), Winslet gave fans a new and somewhat encouraging update on the possibility that Mare of Easttown season 2 could still happen. Check out what she had to say in the space below:

"I have heard the rumors but no decision has been made.

When it comes to action, Vikings: Valhalla has some big tunics to fill. Its predecessor, Vikings, delivered many thrilling sword and axe skirmishes worthy of these legendary warriors. The new series reassembles the same stunt team and prop makers in hopes of capturing even more honor and glory for the noble Norsemen. Fighting through gore and muck is the Viking way, and this crew strives to engage us viscerally with the ferocious spectacle of medieval war. And Vikings: Valhalla doesn’t pull any punches. In just the fourth episode, the stunt team delivers an epic siege on London Bridge, the magnitude of which is on the level of the finale battle in most other sword-swinging series.

“Mud and blood is definitely a strong theme with us,” admits Richard Ryan, Stunt Coordinator for Vikings and Vikings: Valhalla. The franchise has a reputation for gritty brutal...

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Mare of Easttown” Episode 7, “Sacrament,” including the ending.]

Two seemingly contradictory elements from the two loosely tied sides of “Mare of Easttown” found harmony in HBO’s buzzy crime drama. The first element is the red herrings, or as my editor begged me not to call them: the red mareings. Creator and writer Brad Inglesby absolutely littered his seven-part limited series with clues, many of which eventually proved misleading, in order to create an addictive whodunit for viewers at home. The second element, which runs very much in opposition to the first, is closure. If the audience feels too jerked around during their extended search for the killer, a murder-mystery is bound to fall apart, no matter how shocking the big reveal.

But the actual case is only one side of “Mare of Easttown,” and leading into the Episode 7 finale, closure had already started for our titular hero’s personal journey toward salvation.

The following contains spoilers for Mare of Easttown through episode 4.

Who killed Erin McMenamin? That’s the question at the center of HBO’s atmospheric crime drama Mare of Easttown…alongside “how does Kate Winslet pull off that Wawa-saturated accent?”

The show offers no shortage of suspects. Seemingly every single character on Mare of Easttown has both cause and some sort of backwards reasoning for killing the innocent young mother played by Cailee Spaeny. Mare’s ex-husband Frank (David Denman) is rumored to have fathered Erin’s son DJ (though that theory is disproven in this week’s episode 4 “Poor Sisyphus”). Erin’s ex-boyfriend Dylan (Jack Mulhern) and his awful new girlfriend Brianna (Mackenzie Lansing) clearly want Erin out of the way. Deacon Mark Burton (James McArdle) has a questionable history at previous Catholic parishes. Then there’s the fact that successful author from out of town Richard Ryan is...

Yes, HBO’s Mare of Easttown looks like another small-town murder mystery — but Sunday’s premiere makes sure we get to know the small town very well before the murder even occurs.

When we meet Kate Winslet’s police detective Mare Sheehan, she’s waking up to yet another phone call from her neighbor Mrs. Carroll, who’s complaining about a peeping Tom on the loose. Mare dutifully takes the old lady’s report (“He looked like a ferret”) while reminding her she can just call the police station next time. At the station, the chief informs Mare they’re...

Exclusive: John Douglas Thompson (Broadway’s King Lear), Patrick Murney (Seven Seconds), Ben Miles (The Romanoffs), James McArdle (Mary Queen of Scots), Sosie Bacon (Here and Now), Joe Tippett (Rise) and Neal Huff (To Kill a Mockingbord) have joined the cast of Mare of Easttown, HBO’s limited series starring Kate Winslet. Hailing from Brad Inglesby and Paul Lee’s wiip, the series is a co-production of HBO and wiip. Gavin O’Connor directs and executive produces.

Written and executive produced by Inglesby, who also serves as showrunner, Mare Of Easttown stars Winslet as a small-town Pennsylvania detective whose life crumbles around her as she investigates a local murder. The cast also includes Julianne Nicholson, Jean Smart, Angourie Rice, Evan Peters, Cailee Spaeny and David Denman.

Thompson will play Chief Carter, Mare’s (Winslet) boss at the Easttown Police Department, whose stoicism belies a deep compassion for the people he’s been charged with protecting.

As part of the first Google Glass vlog ever, Joe's Daily took the hi-tech gadget onto a roller coaster at Disneyland, showing off the device's ability to work flawlessly on high speeds. Still, extreme stunts creator Richard Ryan has decided to crank things up a notch. Ryan has posted a video to his RatedRR channel (part of the Revision3 network) where he swings 6000 ft on a rope while wearing Google Glass. Sure enough, the ballyhooed contraption does its job without a hitch, capturing high-quality footage before, during, and after Ryan leaps off a hot-air balloon. The scene it captures is quite a stunning one, but Ryan makes sure to inform viewers that Glass is more than just a fancy-looking GoPro camera. "At first glance, Google Glass might be described as a visual Bluetooth accessory," he explains. "After using it for a while, you realize that its easily a stepping stone...
