‘House of the Dragon' Season 3 Adds Barry Sloane, Tom Cullen and Joplin Sibtain to Cast
'House of the Dragon' is adding three more cast members to its upcoming season. Tom Cullen, Joplin Sibtain and Barry Sloane have been added to Season 3 of the HBO fantasy hit.
Cullen, who is known for his work in the BBC series 'The Gold' and the upcoming Channel 4 series 'Trespasses,' will star as Ser Luthor Largent.

Finally, Sloane, known for his work on Netflix's 'The Sandman' and ABC's 'Revenge,' will star as Ser Adrian Redfort.
All three characters were knights in George R.R. Martin's original novel series, which serves as the basis of 'House of the Dragon.' While Ser Luthor Largent is connected to the City Watch of King's Landing, Ser 'Bold' Jon Roxton is the head of House Roxton, and Ser Adrian Redfort is from House Redfort as well as a member of Rhaenyra Targaryen's Queensguard.

Season 3 will also star Matt Smith, Emma D'Arcy, Olivia Cooke, Steve Toussaint, Rhys Ifans, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell, Tom Glynn-Carney, Sonoya Mizuno, Harry Collett, Bethany Antonia, Phoebe Campbell, Phia Saban, Jefferson Hall, Matthew Needham, Tom Bennett, Kieran Bew, Kurt Egyiawan, Freddie Fox, Clinton Liberty, Gayle Rankin and Abubakar Salim.
Based on Martin's 'Fire & Blood,' 'House of the Dragon' is set 200 years before the events of 'Game of Thrones' and tells the story of House Targaryen. The drama is showrun by Ryan Condal, who also serves as the show's co-creator and executive producer, alongside fellow EP and co-creator Martin. Other EPs include Sara Hess, Melissa Bernstein, Kevin de la Noy, Vince Gerardis, David Hancock and Philippa Goslett.
The first two seasons of 'House of the Dragon' are available to stream on Max.

WBD split: What will Warner Bros. Discovery look like as two separate companies?
Warner Bros. Discovery is saying That's all, folks. On Monday, the media and entertainment conglomerate announced that it would break into two separate companies, one for its cable TV networks and the other for its streaming services and studio business. The split is expected to complete sometime next year, and each company will be publicly traded. In effect, the breakup will separate WBD's flagship streaming service, HBO Max, along with its movie and television production operations, from its cable networks and news offerings, which include CNN, TNT, and many other networks. When it's all said and done, the separation will more or less undo the merger between Warner and Discovery that occurred in 2022, when WarnerMedia was spun off from the mobile and wireless giant AT&T. Global Networks will also house Bleacher Report and certain digital products, like the Discovery+ streaming service. Gunnar Wiedenfels, WBD's current CFO, will become the president and CEO of Global Networks. Streaming and Studios 'Streaming and Studios' will become the home of the company's development and production assets, and more. It will include Warner Bros. Television, Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, DC Studios, HBO, HBO Max, and their respective film and television libraries. David Zaslav, WBD's current CEO, will remain CEO of WBD Streaming & Studios. What have WBD's executives said about this split? During a conference call on Monday morning, Zaslav said 'we're focusing on the next stage of transformation' of WBD, and that the separation will 'allow each of these strong companies to achieve their maximum potential.' 'Each company will have its own dedicated management team and board,' Zaslav said, with 'unique objectives and priorities.' He added that 'we expect all the factors to come together to unlock value—these companies will be better aligned with shareholders.' Wiedenfels, joining Zaslav on the call, said that 'the whole concept of the separation is to create two strong and well positioned companies—we feel very confident about the compelling nature about both portfolios,' adding that he saw the separation as 'a natural progression of WBD.' What does this mean for shareholders? Both companies will be publicly traded. Moreover, the global networks business will hold up to a 20% retained stake in the streaming business. In the short term, Warner Bros Discovery stock (Nasdaq: WBD) was up about 7.59% in late-morning trading on Monday after the announcement. But the stock is flat year to date. Last week, shareholders voted to reject pay packages for top executives including Zaslav, although the vote was largely symbolic. WBD, since its merger a few years ago, has struggled with debt, rounds of layoffs and rebranding. (Notably, HBO Go became HBO Max, then Max, and is now back to HBO Max again). But Zaslav sounds upbeat about the future, and said the two companies coexisting should help each prosper. 'When we put these businesses together in the last three years, we built them out, and we paid down debt,' Zaslav said. 'We believe [the separation] gives us a lot more flexibility in the future.'

Watch: Netflix drops trailer for 'Tyler Perry's Madea's Destination Wedding'
1 of 4 | Tyler Perry returns as his most iconic character in "Tyler Perry's Madea's Destination Wedding," which debuts on Netflix July 11. File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo June 9 (UPI) -- Netflix released a trailer for Tyler Perry's Madea's Destination Wedding, marking the writer, director and actor's 13th cinematic outing as the iconic matriarch. The film, which debuts July 11, is Perry's second Madea film to be released in creative partnership with Netflix. The 13th installment in the film franchise sees Perry's Madea traveling to the Bahamas with her family to celebrate the surprise wedding of her nephew's daughter, Tiffany (Diamond White), to a rapper she met on a yacht. "It's been 20 years now since Diary of a Mad Black Woman came out," Perry told Netflix. "To see that this character is still enduring, and people are still watching and enjoying and laughing, it's really mind-blowing to me." Perry, who plays multiple roles in the film, said returning to Madea is a form of comfort. "I keep coming back because some of this is just escapism," he said. "Just let's leave the world behind for a moment and come to Madea's house, and have some good food and laugh, and cry and celebrate and be all of those things." Tyler Perry's Madea's Destination Wedding also stars Cassi Davis Patton, David Mann, Tamela Mann, Taja V. Simpson, Jermaine Harris and Xavier Smalls.
