We have that and much more. So dive into our roundup of TV News!
Who Said The Super Bowl Doesn’t Come with Perks?
Super Bowl Sunday is one of the biggest nights of the year Stateside, and HBO wants to operate accordingly, by not allowing the ratings juggernaut to distract from two of its biggest hits.
Thus, Industry Season 4 Episode 5 will get an early global release on Friday, February 6 at 3 a.m ET on HBO Max ahead of its cable debut in its traditional time slot, Sunday at 9/8c on HBO.
It gives HBO Max subscribers the opportunity to watch the series ahead of time, in case they don’t want to miss it when tuning in to the Super Bowl.
And given the shocking events of Industry Season 4 Episode 4, viewers are eagerly awaiting the next chapter. The upcoming episode “Eyes without a Face” has Sweetpea (Miriam Petche) and Kwabena (Toheeb Jimoh) heading to Accra to try to expose Tender, while Harper and Eric receive personal news.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will follow Industry in moving things up to Friday, February 6, at 3 a.m. on HBO Max. It will also air in its standard time slot on Sunday, February 8, at 10/9c on HBO.
We’re coming off a big hour as A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1 Episode 3 revealed Egg’s identity.
Meanwhile, the synopsis for the upcoming hour reads: After landing himself in the Targaryens’ crosshairs, Dunk exercises his right to request a trial by combat.
But when Aerion insists on a trial of seven instead, Dunk is faced with the daunting task of finding six others to fight alongside him.
So, it’s definitely an hour you’ll want to tune in for. We’ll have reviews for it and Industry.
Apple TV Proves They Really Are Our Friends with an Early Renewal
We haven’t even prepared ourselves for the excitement of the second season, and Your Friends & Neighbors has already scored a third.
It’s a vote of confidence if there ever was one, right? It certainly makes heading into this highly anticipated second season more exciting and reassuring, knowing we’ll have more on the horizon.
After the massive success of Your Friends & Neighbors Season 1, the sophomore season is coming in hot on April 3, upping the ante with a new neighbor, the incomparable James Marsden, and more delicious drama that will have us glued to the screens.
Life may very well give most a “perfectly aimed kick in the crotch,” but it’s worth it when you escape into this fabulous series.
Check out the teaser trailer for the sophomore season, and stay tuned for more news about it.
Heated Rivalry’s Meteoric Ascent Continues with SNL Tie-In
Unless you’ve been under a rock, you already know that Heated Rivalry, the queer hockey romance, has taken the world by storm.
And the stars of the series have catapulted to the type of overnight fame that harkens back to the days of Boy Band groups or something.
No, that’s not an exaggeration. Now, these overnight talents are scoring unprecedented opportunities, including SNL.
Connor Storrie, the charming Texan who plays the charismatic Russian hockey player Ilya Rozanov, will be hosting Saturday Night Live on February 28.
If that’s not a sign of his skyrocketing to superstardom, nothing is.
There are few little-known facts about Storrie by now, given he’s become the obsession of diehard fans.
Nevertheless, for the layman who isn’t as tapped into all things Heated Rivalry, the actor used to partake in LA’s clown scene, so he should be fabulous, showing off his range and comedic chops during SNL skits.
Given the Heated Wizardry spoof SNL raked up millions of views, SNL will likely get an insane boost from this episode.
Ryan Murphy Trades Horror & First Responder Cosplay for Legendary Romance
By now, we’re all accustomed to Ryan Murphy’s stories.
He’s certainly built on his extensive career by digging into the real-life stories of killers, controversial figures, and feuds.
Now, he’s tackling a different approach with romance. Whether it’ll attract similar criticisms of exploitation from those around whom the stories revolve remains to be seen.
But we’re not here to dissect any of that, just to let you know that the trailer has released for this new FX saga ahead of its February 12 premiere, and it looks… like something that viewers will devour and discuss endlessly online, which is exactly Ryan Murphy‘s shtick.
What happens after Happily Ever After? We know how this story ends: tragedy. But the trailer teases powerful love and attraction alongside the pressures of becoming enveloped in a family dynasty, and it’s already overwhelming.
Behind the glamor and sensuality is a bit of its own horror story. But we’ll let you decide.
