Succession will be returning for a third season on HBO and the cast is going to be making a lot more money for their work!

THR reports that the seven main stars of the series are getting pay raises for the third season.

Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin, Alan Ruck, Matthew Macfayden, and Nicholas Braun will all be making around $300,000 to $350,000 per episode. Brian Cox, who won a Golden Globe earlier this year for his performance as patriarch Logan Roy, will be making more than the rest of the cast.

It is being reported that most of the cast was earning below $100,000 per episode for the first two seasons. It’s very common in Hollywood for the casts of successful series to renegotiate their pay after two seasons.

The first two seasons of Succession are currently streaming on HBO Go and they’ll be available on the upcoming streaming service HBO Max as well.

The much-anticipated Friends reunion special is being delayed.

The unscripted reunion special will not be available when HBO Max launches in May, THR reported on Friday (April 10).

“Given that the industry-wide production shutdown is remaining in place for the foreseeable future, the six original stars and show creators will not be getting together virtually to record the special. Sources say the cast and HBO Max leadership all want to reunite in person on the former NBC comedy’s iconic Stage 24 at the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, Calif,” THR reported.

The special was reportedly planned to be taped between March 23 and March 24 with Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer, as well as series creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman.

“We want to share some background information about the production dates for the upcoming unscripted Friends reunion special for HBO Max. As was previously reported, production is delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This means that the special will not be available on the streamer on Day 1 of launch. But it is coming!” HBO Max said in a statement.

“The cast and producers are all very excited to go into production, as this will be the first time since the show ended that the whole cast will be together, and on the original sets to reminisce. There are loads of great surprises in store and lots of rare behind-the-scenes footage they are eager to share. We will keep you informed as plans solidify and once we have a firm premiere date. Lastly, in order to avoid any misunderstanding about what this special is, we want to make it very clear that this is not a new, original episode of the series. The cast will be appearing as themselves, not as their beloved characters. And though fans will have to wait a bit longer for the reunion, they can watch all 236 episodes of the series on day one of HBO Max launch in May!”

All of these shows and events have been canceled or postponed amid the pandemic.

HBO has announced that they are releasing a bunch of fan-favorite shows for free so that everyone who is at home during the pandemic can watch them!

Nearly 500 hours of content will be made available to be viewed without a subscription to the pay-TV service.

The popular video game The Last of Us will become a TV series at HBO and the upcoming show’s co-writer just confirmed something for fans.

Craig Mazin, the creator of HBO’s limited series Chernobyl, is writing and executive producing the show with the video game’s writer and creative director Neil Druckmann.

The Last of Us is a post-apocalyptic tale that centers on the “relationship between Joel, a smuggler in this new world, and Ellie, a teenager who may be key to a cure for a deadly pandemic,” THR reports.

In the game, Ellie is gay and Craig confirms that she will remain a gay character in the series.

HBO has made the decision to reclassify its series Watchmen to a limited series moving forward.

The network has announced that season one of the hit show will no longer compete as a “drama series” at awards shows and instead will be considered a “limited series.” This includes “any possible future installments” as well.

“We discussed with the producers and felt limited series was the most accurate representation of the show and any possible future installments,” the network said in a statement (via Variety).

Executive producer and showrunner Damon Lindelof basically shot down any hope for future seasons in previous interviews, but he has hinted that there’s still a chance he’d return for more installments.

Westworld is coming back soon!

HBO debuted the trailer for the upcoming third season of the hit series on Thursday (February 20).

“I was born into this world, and my first memories of it are pain. For my kind, there was one place we were never allowed to go, one place we were never allowed to see: your world,” Evan Rachel Wood, who plays Dolores, says in the trailer.

Thandie Newton, Tessa Thompson, Ed Harris and Jeffrey Wright all star, as well as newcomer Aaron Paul, Vincent Cassel, Lena Waithe, Scott Mescudi, Marshawn Lynch, John Gallagher Jr., Michael Ealy and Tommy Flanagan.
