Perhaps the biggest appeal of the genre, besides the opportunity to showcase some of the best promising young talent working today, is its ability toresonate with almost everyone in its audience, with the devilish angst and desperate search for love at life’s toughest age something we can perhaps all relate to too....

Who hasn’t wanted to own a toy of their favorite television character at some point in their lives? This mentality is why toy-driven shows have been a staple of children’s television for decades. While some shows get a toy line once they become popular, others are created specifically to sell merchandise, and often have to introduce new characters and plot elements to promote new products, or remove long-established characters if their toys are not selling well....

[Editor’s note: The following containsspoilersthrough the Season 8 finale of American Horror Story.] EveryAmerican Horror Storyfan has their favorite seasons. Mine? The very first season,Murder House, and also Season 3,Coven. I love how contained and truly terrifying the first season is; when it comes toCoven, I just totally fell for that cast of characters.

The internet was still an unknown territory full of mysteries and untapped potential, and television… well, television was doing great!...

Today, The Walt Disney Company announced a pretty massive five-year overall exclusive deal withRyan Coogler’s Proximity Media banner, and the first project out of the gate is a doozie: Coogler will develop aBlack Pantherspinoff series set in the kingdom of Wakanda. Not much more is known quite yet about the series, but I would happily accept a fast-paced political drama within the various factions of the ancient high-tech society and/or something whereWinston Duke’s M’Baku is just kind’ve hanging out doing whatever....
