George A. Romero’s 1968 classic Night of the Living Dead is in the public domain, so a lot of people have made their own sequels and remakes to the film over the decades, put out their own releases of it, colorized it, animated it, etc. It’s a property that has never been dormant… but these days it seems like its undead ghouls are livelier than ever.

Greg Nicotero is planning to make a movie about the making of Night of the Living Dead.

It may feel like throuples are a distinctly modern romantic arrangement – but this couldn’t be further from the case.
In fact, consensual non-monogamy, such as a ménage à trois, goes back centuries. It can even be found in the bible.
Recently, David Haye has been the subject of speculation surrounding his private life, with fans claiming that the ex-boxer is in a three-way relationship with model Sian Osborne and The Saturdays singer Una Healy.
On Valentine’s Day, Haye appeared to confirm the rumours, with Healy also sharing a coy message on Instagram alluding to the relationship.

One of the most frustrating parts of the Peak TV era came at the expense of great TV series.
It was like the gold rush, and there was gold in them thar hills, but when that golden content aired on startup networks with limited audiences, the shows suffered as a result.
Well, the good news is that with large streaming services become all the rage, some of the best content you've never seen is coming to the small screen near you.
We can add Loudermilk, an unlikely comedy about struggling alcoholics, to that ever-growing list. And once you watch, you'll be screaming Hallelujah right along with me.
First airing on AT&T's Audience Network in 2016 and 2017, which was reserved for those with AT&T cable, streaming, or DirecTV, Loudermilk comes from creators Peter Farrelly and Bobby Mort.
The series was renewed for a third season in 2018, and that completed season...

Natalie Sharp (Hit the Road) is set for a recurring role on Fox’s summer drama series BH90210. The series is described as a serialized drama with a dose of irreverence inspired by the real lives and relationships of Jason Priestley, Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling.

This is a logical evolution for the character, originally introduced as a case-of-the-week villain Kurt (Sullivan Stapleton) and Jane (Jaimie Alexander) encountered while following a tattoo on Jane’s body in Episode 9 of Blindspot‘s first season. With his eccentricity, Rich Dotcom ((real name Gord Enver) instantly popped. Because of his immediate popularity among fans of the show, Rich Dotcom was brought back for another episode later in the first season and two more episodes in Season 2 before a heavily recurring turn in Season 3 when the billionaire criminal mastermind became FBI consultant.
Season 4 of Blindspot premieres on Friday, October 12.

You Me Her, from Entertainment One, and created by executive producer and showrunner John Scott Shepherd, stars Greg Poehler, Rachel Blanchard and Priscilla Faia in a romantic comedy with a little something extra: a third person.
At the end of last season, the “throuple” pulled together their happy ending – a surprise poly commitment ceremony in a pizza joint. Now, they’re settling back into the ‘burbs to live a tweaked version of the conventional “married with children” life.
