Stewy, the devious private equity guy from Succession, took over Slate’s Dear Prudence advice column this morning with some, well, frank life tips. “Lawyer the f*** up and wait for the pusillanimous piece of fool’s gold to die,” Stewy advises a reader scared of being cut from their uncle’s will. “Who is this guy? He sucks ass,” he says to a woman complaining about her lazy husband. “Block this f***er,” he orders a reader conflicted about a needy friend.

If Natasha Rothwell’s Belinda had somehow shown up in The White Lotus’ second season, things might have turned out very differently for Tanya McQuoid. But if Tanya hadn’t met her fate the way she did, there’s a chance that Belinda might not be coming back for The White Lotus’ third season on HBO.

It’s tempting to share your Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Max (excuse me, Max) accounts with family, friends, and that nice neighbor across the street. But sometimes, things can get out of hand. If you want to check who you’ve shared your account with — and maybe drop a few no-longer-friends from it — here’s how.

Praise for and enthusiastic discussions about Abbott Elementary have never been hard to find online, but that wasn’t the case with HBO Max’s South Side before it was cancelled last month.

Adult Swim and Warner Bros. have yet to announce who will be taking over voicing duties for Rick and Morty’s eponymous duo following Justin Roiland’s ouster earlier this year. But tucked into today’s big Max presentation was the tiniest mention of Rick and Morty: The Anime, suggesting that we’ll be hearing some new voices by year’s end.

You’d be hard pressed the name the fictional country Kate Winslet will rule over with a dictatorial iron fist in HBO’s upcoming series The Regime from Will Tracy. But her willingness to do whatever it takes to maintain power is quite clear in the series’ teaser that dropped during today’s big Max reveal.

Max, the family-friendly rebrand of HBO Max, released a trailer for upcoming six-part series SmartLess: On the Road. The docuseries will go behind the scenes of the popular (if toothless) podcast hosted by Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes. And it’s shot in black and white, so you know they mean business.

Just a few weeks ahead of its May 23rd debut on the newly-rebranded Max, there’s a new trailer for Tze Chun’s Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai, a Gremlins prequel set to delve into Gizmo’s history and, you know, mogwai secrets.

In its fourth season, True Detective’s heading to Alaska to tell the story of how six men vanish from a research lab in the Arctic. While that premise alone is compelling as hell, it still doesn’t quite capture raw energy Jodie Foster’s radiating in the season’s new teaser trailer.

I know we all rejoiced when The Big Bang Theory went off the air in 2019 after 12 seasons. But it brings me no joy to inform you that more is coming. The details are scant, but a new show set in the universe was announced at Warner Bros. Discovery’s big HBO Max rebranding event today....bazinga.

Warner Bros. Discovery just sent press invites to an event on April 12th to discuss “our future in streaming.” At the event, the company is expected to bring a lot of content from Discovery Plus over to the maybe-soon-to-be-former HBO Max. It may also reveal a more expensive subscription tier that offers better video quality, according to Bloomberg.

HBO’s The Last of Us was such a hot topic of conversation after it premiered that it somehow felt like the show had already been around for quite a while, and we were tucking in for an especially long season of TV.

Warner Bros. Discovery’s revised version of HBO Max, which may just be called “Max,” will be revealed in April, according to Bloomberg. In addition to “thousands” of added titles, the publication reports the service will have an “about” $20 per month tier that offers “better video quality and possibly other features.” I just hope the service, whatever it’s called, doesn’t break while I’m watching new episodes of Succession.

The Idol, The Weeknd and Sam Levinson’s upcoming HBO Max series, sounds like a train wreck in a damning report from Rolling Stone that attributes the show’s massive delays to Levinson “scrapping the nearly-finished $54-75 million project” to redo the whole thing his way.

The supernatural show, which is based on a DC comic by Neil Gaiman and Matt Wagner, was supposed to make its debut on HBO Max — but it apparently didn’t mesh with the company’s vision for the DC Universe, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Succession creator Jesse Armstrong has announced that the show’s fourth season, which is due to premiere on March 26th, will be its last.
