Supergirl adds Daniel DiMaggio as young Kal-El

by

CBS’ Supergirl series has found a great way to highlight the exploits of its titular heroine while alluding to – but not hinging on – the existence of her more established cousin, Superman. While it will likely be some time before the Big Blue Boyscout arrives in his full glory on the series (if that ever happens), the writers […]

HBO president confirms Deadwood reunion in the works

by

Nearly a decade ago, HBO’s acclaimed and beloved Western drama Deadwood joined the rank of countless other shows that were cancelled all too soon.
