We're still reeling from the 'Game of Thrones' season 4 finale "The Children," its incredible FX and unexpected exclusions notwithstanding, but already our cup runneth over with desire for season 5's arrival in 2015. Now, the showrunners of HBO's mammoth fantasy drama have gone on record to confirm a few major new details of season 5, including shooting locations and a few new characters to populate it.

Once again, 'Game of Thrones' will come to a tragic end with this weekend's season 4 finale "The Children," wrapping up quite a few dangling threads in the process. We've seen an extended trailer full of book spoilers, but what does the full set of photos from the 'Game of Thrones' season 4 finale reveal?

HBO's 'Game of Thrones' season 4 will unfortunately come to yet another end with Sunday's season finale "The Children," but where this past weekend's "Watchers on the Wall" largely kept to one location, the finale will have quite a few loose ends to tie up around Westeros. Readers of George R.R. Martin's novels likely know of some major shockers coming, but can now see for them

Tony Soprano may have a bit to pout about now that 'The Sopranos' officially lost its HBO throne for most-watched series to the aptly titled 'Game of Thrones,' but don't consider the New Jersey mobster down and out just yet. Over 15 years after the series began, HBO officially set a release date for the Blu-ray box set collection of 'The Sopranos: The Complete Series.'

Long has HBO's 'Game of Thrones' reigned as one of TV's most expensive series in history, but at long last, it has a much more boast-worthy title. Tony Soprano officially lost the HBO throne, now that 'Game of Thrones' succeeded 'The Sopranos' to become the most-watched and highly rated series for the premium cable network.

HBO had long established that 'True Detective' would act as a stand-alone season in its first iteration, in that series stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson would only anchor the first season, with subsequent years moving into new characters, stars and stories. McConaughey in particular's career has only gone up since 'True Detective,' but is the 'Interstellar' star now open to returning?

Earlier this week 'Game of Thrones' let slip a bit of insight into the fifth season in that the globe-trotting HBO fantasy drama would next head to Spain to stand in as a new Westeros location, though precisely which couldn't be said for sure. Now, a new casting call reveals an extensive roster of characters drawn from, and inspired by George R.R. Martin's books, which seems to suggest which 'Game of Thrones' location Spain may become.

HBO's 'Game of Thrones' will take a brief hiatus this coming Sunday to accommodate Memorial Day festivity, launching headway through June for the final three installments of season 4, but production is already gearing up for season 5. New reports suggest 'Game of Thrones' will add Spain to its diverse roster of shooting locations, but to stand in as which fictional Westeros location?

We were dubious of recent 'True Detective' season 2 gossip that seemed to cement Brad Pitt as a leading contender for the as-yet-unconfirmed 2015 followup to HBO's breakout drama, but the latest major Hollywood name in play proves a bit more promising. Is 'Interstellar' star Jessica Chastain our female lead for 'True Detective' season 2, or is the rumor mill only spouting wishful thinking? Read Mo

Last Sunday's 'Game of Thrones' installment "The Laws of Gods and Men" brought Tyrion's trial to a show-stopping finish (yes, also literally), but will the imp hit the fan by this coming weekend's all-new episode "Mockingbird?" The first photos have arrived, and apart from new looks at Brienne, Pod, Sansa and Jon, we've also got Daenerys in a skimpy navel dress, Daenerys in a s

'Game of Thrones' season 4 has plenty on its plate for the moment with the recent controversy surrounding Sunday's "Breaker of Chains," but things understandably won't get any easier as the HBO fantasy drama heads into May, placing plenty of new dangers onto the characters of George R.R. Martin's literary world. The full set of May episode synopses have arrived, and it looks like Tyrion

'Game of Thrones' jumped through time a bit in its fourth season premiere "Two Swords" to the point where Daenerys' dragons have grown big enough to pick off sheep, but if George R.R. Martin has anything to say about it, the winged fire-breathers will be half the size of Winterfell by the time the series ends.
