AMC to kill off The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon after 4th season
As always, the new season will star Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride as Daryl and Carol, respectively. The actors have been playing these characters for almost two decades at this point, but somehow, they both promise there's more story to tell. 'Daryl Dixon has been an incredible journey. I thank each and every fan who has joined us on this ride. It's been a privilege to build this story for these characters, and we have so much gratitude for how it's been embraced,' Reedus shared in a statement. 'This finale isn't just an ending; it's a celebration of what we've all shared together. Keep carrying that love forward – Daryl's journey is far from over.' Added McBride: 'It has been the thrill of a lifetime to shoot this part of Daryl and Carol's adventure together in Europe and I keep coming back for more of these two characters. There is still so much story left to tell and so much for the fans to look forward to.'
Some of that story will occur in Daryl Dixon season three, which is set to premiere on AMC and AMC+ September 7. 'Season three of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon tracks Carol and Daryl as they continue their journey towards home and the ones they love,' a synopsis of the upcoming installment reads. 'As they struggle to find their way back, the path takes them farther astray, leading them through distant lands with ever-changing and unfamiliar conditions as they witness the various effects of the Walker apocalypse.'
You can follow along on Daryl and Carol's journey—which includes meeting 'the last Englishman in England,' firebombing some Walkers, and endeavoring to kill the King of Spain—in a new trailer below:

A small Serbian town is home to Robin Hood - in a new TV series
SIMANOVCI, Serbia (AP) — Villages and castles from 12th-century England came to life in a small town in Serbia for the filming of a new series about Robin Hood that has just wrapped in the landlocked country in southeast Europe. The 10-episode take on England's beloved medieval outlaw who, in lore, stole from the rich to give to the poor, comes from Lionsgate Television, and is expected to premiere on MGM+ in the U.S. and parts of Europe later this year. The Associated Press recently visited the set in Simanovci, the village which is home to a film studio and not far from the capital of Belgrade. Thorough research for the series was visible in the scenography and costumes, taking the cast — and the studio — back in time to the stony interiors of a candlelit castle, complete with stained-glass lancet windows. The 'sweeping, romantic adventure' offers a historically grounded look into how Robin Hood grew up to become an outlaw-turned-hero in the wake of the Norman conquest of England, the producers say. 'We actually show the beginning of Robin Hood,' producer, director and writer Jonathan English, who was a main driving force behind the project, said in an interview. 'We start the story with him as a child.' Self-described as a 'huge fan of all things medieval,' English marveled at Robin Hood's persistent global appeal. 'You can stop a pensioner on the streets of Belgrade and he knows who Robin Hood is. You can stop a teenager on the streets of Beijing, and they know who Robin Hood is,' he said. Asked whether the story is still relevant, following countless cinematic and small-screen adaptations, English insisted that 'it is incredibly relevant, probably more today than ... 50 years ago or 100 years ago, even.' 'It's a story about class and the absolute tyranny of class, people who believe that they can have everything and control everything and can own everything and everybody else could just, you know, get lost,' he said. 'There's always been wealthy people, but now you have uber-rich people. And the divide between the uber-rich and the rest of the world is extraordinary now.' The show's plot centers strongly on the romance between Robin and Marian. He is a Saxon forester's son and Marian is the daughter of a Norman lord but they overcome the divide to jointly fight for freedom and against injustice. Australian actor Jack Patten plays Robin, joined by Lauren McQueen as Marian. The two appear alongside Sean Bean as the notorious Sheriff of Nottingham, and Connie Nielsen, who plays Eleanor of Aquitaine, the queen of England and wife of Henry II. Patten admitted he was nervous ahead of his 'third gig since getting out of drama school.' His Robin is 'any young 24-year-old ... trying to find his place in the world' and who 'gets dealt some pretty tricky cards.' McQueen said Marian's character will be 'quite empowering' for young women watching the series. Filmed in multiple locations in Serbia and with hundreds of staff and crew, the series is 'huge' even by Hollywood standards, showrunner and writer John Glenn said. He described the new show as 'much more Peaky Blinders in tone' than previous incarnations, referring to the hit U.K. TV series about gangsters in 1920s Birmingham. Both Glenn and English said they chose Serbia because of high-standard facilities and crews but also because of the natural scenery that could mimic a medieval English landscape. 'It's hard to find ancient forests now in England,' English said. 'There's not a lot of undeveloped wilderness." Jovana Gec, The Associated Press

James Gunn Reveals New PEACEMAKER Season 2 Opening Song From "Objectively the Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band in the World" — GeekTyrant
Peacemaker is back and ready to dance his way into the new DCU, and this time he's bringing the fire with a brand-new opening song. During a private event at San Diego Comic-Con, James Gunn revealed that the new opening title sequence features the entire cast grooving to Foxy Shazam's song 'Oh Lord.' Fans of the first season will remember the now-iconic dance intro set to 'Do Ya Wanna Taste It' by Wig Wam. Season 2 keeps the quirky spirit alive with a fresh beat and fresh choreography, and it's just as hilarious and over-the-top as you'd hope. Gunn himself hyped up the reveal at Comic-Con, saying: "I am here to reveal right now – it is a song from my favorite band in the world that is objectively the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world, Foxy Shazam, here they are. They're gonna perform it for you guys – 'Oh Lord' – come on guys!" We got a live performance and a sneak peek at the new sequence, which features returning cast members like John Cena, Jennifer Holland, and Freddie Stroma, as well as newcomers including Frank Grillo and Tim Meadows. You can listen to the son below. During an interview at Entertainment Weekly's Comic-Con suite, the cast had some fun teasing each other about their dance skills. Grillo, who plays Rick Flag Sr., joked: "I was really against it because I'm a serious actor. I thought so! But I had such a great time watching Tim Meadows suffer." Meadows shot back with a laugh: "I was horrible. Everybody expected me to be good, and I don't want to say why they expected me to be good, but I was horrible." Gunn chimed in to name Holland and Stroma as standout dancers, but as always, fans will be the final judges once the new season drops. Aside from the funky new intro, Gunn spoke about where Peacemaker is heading in Season 2. He emphasized how the show explores character growth and change, saying: "I really like TV shows where the characters don't just return every season and they're the same exact characters. I want to see growth. I want to see change and sometimes regression. And Peacemaker is a different guy this year. 'He's dealing with the demons he uncovered from the first season and trying to deal with them, and the world is not accepting him the way he is. They aren't accepting him as a hero." This season continues the story from The Suicide Squad , with Grillo's Rick Flag Sr. on a mission for revenge after Peacemaker killed his son. Expect multiverse madness, alternate versions of familiar faces, and some heavy-hitting DC cameos that may ripple into the larger DC Universe. Peacemaker Season 2 premieres August 21. Get ready for more mayhem, more heart, and yes, more awkwardly fun dancing.
