Walton Goggins is Back in New Teasers for Fallout Season 2
Walton Goggins has been having a stellar run the past few months with The White Lotus and The Righteous Gemstones , and now he's set to come back to the Wasteland as the Ghoul in the next season of Fallout . Thanks to Amazon Upfront, we have a bunch of new promos for the series including some mock-ads with Goggins' Cooper Howard as well as a teaser for the Ghoul and Lucy (Ella Purnell) arriving at New Vegas. Check this out: It's also been confirmed that the series is expected to premiere this December. With Fallout Season 1 premiering last year, it's kind of surprise that we're going to get the follow-up this year. With The Last of Us and Rings of Power taking several years inbetween seasons, it's great to have a high-budget sci-fi show actually consistently release a new season yearly. So far, we know that Lucy and the Ghoul have teamed up to go after Hank MacLean (Kyle MacLachlan) who has been revealed to be part of the brain trust that caused the Nuclear War that destroyed the Earth. We don't know how much of New Vegas is going to be the setting, but fans know that place is going to be filled with all kinds of kooky characters and factions—plus some messed up Vaults with all kinds of experiments inside them. As for Maximus (Aaron Moten), it's kind of hinted that he's going to be promoted within the Brotherhood of Steel, and it's possible they could be coming to New Vegas as well and this could be Max's chance to run into Lucy again. Catch the second season of Fallout when it comes to Amazon Prime Video this December. Hopefully we can expect the third season by 2026 as well.

HBO's Cuts: 'Bookie,' 'The Franchise,' and More Cancelled
HBO is shaking up its lineup in a big way, confirming the cancellation of three series as it preps for the 2025-2026 TV season. Among the casualties? The popular comedy-drama The Sex Lives of College Girls, along with Bookie and The Franchise. The first to fall was The Franchise, a satirical comedy from Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes. Despite the prestige behind the project, and Mendes's growing buzz as he heads into production on his four-part Beatles biopic, the series couldn't pull in big enough numbers. HBO pulled the plug after just one season, thanking Mendes and the ensemble cast in a parting statement but making it clear there'd be no second chance. Next up was Bookie, a two-season comedy starring stand-up heavyweight Sebastian Maniscalco. The series followed the chaotic life of a Los Angeles bookie trying to keep his business afloat in the shifting sands of legalized sports betting. While it found a loyal niche audience, it didn't survive HBO's latest round of biggest surprise for many fans? The end of The Sex Lives of College Girls. The dramedy, co-created by The Office alum Mindy Kaling, had built a strong following over its three-season run. Starring Reneé Rapp, Pauline Chalamet, Amrit Kaur, and Alyah Chanelle Scott, the show explored college life, friendship, and messy relationships. Speculation about its future had swirled since Rapp exited in 2023, and now it's official: HBO won't be moving forward with a fourth season. There are rumors producers are shopping it to Netflix, but so far, no takers. Meanwhile, The Righteous Gemstones will wrap things up after its fourth season, while The White Lotus, The Last of Us, and And Just Like That are all set to return with new seasons—proving there's still plenty to look forward to on Max.

Walton Goggins reacts to mean sex symbol headlines on SNL
Walton Goggins reacted to some of the unkind headlines directed at his newfound sex symbol status while hosting tonight's Saturday Night Live. The 53-year-old star of The White Lotus and The Righteous Gemstones was hosting the sketch show for the first time. During his monologue Goggins referred to the popularity of his White Lotus role as Rick Hatchett, noting that the character 'is pretty brooding, which the internet seemed to find attractive.' He said friends had asked him what it was like becoming a sex symbol at 53 years old, to which he responded: ' I Googled myself and read some of the headlines.' He then read out a series of real headlines about himself, starting with Cosmopolitan asking: 'Are We All Horny for Walton Goggins's Receding Hairline?' Goggins responded: 'I've had the same hairline since I was seven. It's not receding. It's holding its ground!' Another headline, from Slate, read: 'His Hair Is Greasy. His Eyes Are Bulging. I Think I'm in Love.' Goggins called that one: 'Beautiful journalism.' Finally the actor pointed out a headline from Yahoo News that read: 'Hollywood's Newest Heartthrob Is a Greasy, Depressing Little Man Whom No One Saw Coming.' Goggins joked: 'For some reason, the part of that headline that offends me the most is the word 'whom'. It just sounds pretentious.' Later in the show, Goggins reunited with his White Lotus co-star Sam Rockwell. Despite online rumours, he was not joined by his onscreen partner from that show, Aimee Lou Wood. Speaking at the Met Gala earlier this week Wood denied reports she would guest on the show, saying: 'I couldn't say, but also I'm not doing that!' When asked if she would want to, she responded: 'Yeah, why not! Why not, yeah! It'd be fun! I loved working with Walton; it was the best thing ever.' 'He's going to be incredible doing SNL. It's the perfect thing for him to do. It's going to be hilarious. I'm so excited to see it,' she added. She also addressed the recent controversy that ensued after she called out SNL for its 'mean and unfunny' skit mocking her appearance. Admitting that it 'all got very out of control,' she explained her reason for speaking out, saying: 'I could either say something — because I saw it and people were angry about it — and I could say something and just have it be said and then I wouldn't spiral inwardly and feel terrible about myself.' 'And [I thought I'd] just say something really simple and balanced, and then next minute the whole world,' she continued, 'and then it was like 'Aimee Lou Wood crying on the street over the SNL skit'' Wood added in reference to tabloid pictures of her shedding tears in public. 'I wasn't crying about the SNL skit; I was crying about something completely unrelated,' she clarified. 'But it all got quite out of control.' During an April episode of NBC's long-running sketch comedy series, SNL cast members reimagined The White Lotus as 'The White Potus.' At one point in the sketch, they attempted to recreate the dynamic between Goggins and Wood's White Lotus characters, Rick and Chelsea, with RFK Jr., played by Jon Hamm, rambling about fluoride in water to Chelsea, played by Sarah Sherman, who darts off to kill and eat a monkey. Sherman's parody of Chelsea included faking a bizarre British accent and wearing protruding prosthetic teeth in an attempt to mimic Wood's appearance. Wood later criticized the skit, insisting that there must have been a 'cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way' to spoof her looks. Goggins, however, hailed the 'amazing' and 'smashing' sketch in a since-deleted Instagram comment.
