HBO Max

Winter has come, and it's sent an avalanche down on the HBO production offices. Four of the five planned Game of Thrones spin-offs, all intended as prequels to the original show, are no longer moving forward at HBO. Now only one, which received a pilot order earlier this year, will enter production.

Deadwood... is now Alivewood. HBO has officially announced that it will produce a feature film followup for its frontier western series ​Deadwood. The long-rumored film sequel​ has been a mainstay topic for fans of the David Milch-created drama series ever since it first wrapped up in 2006.

HBO has recruited Danny McBride and John Goodman for their HBO comedy pilot The Righteous Gemstones. The pair are set to lead the series, which will follow a family of televangelists. The show will reunite McBride with HBO after his series Vice Principals and Eastbound and Down.

Aquaman's Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Endeavour's Sara Vickers have been added to the ensemble cast of HBO's Watchmen, which already includes Jeremy Irons, Regina King, Don Johnson, Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr., Adelaide Clemens, Andrew Howard, Tom Mison, Frances Fisher, and Jacob Ming-Trent.

Just when you thought summer meant relaxing in the sunshine, taking time off work for a family vacation, and drinking frozen cocktails poolside, HBO swooped in and said, "Nope, you're staying home and watching the movies and TV shows coming to HBO Now in July 2018."

HBO has ordered a pilot for one of their five potential Game of Thrones prequel series. The show comes from Kingsman: The Secret Service writer Jane Goldman and A Song of Fire and Ice author George R.R. Martin.

HBO and Damon Lindelof are bringing Watchmen to episodic television, and if the first cast members announced for the pilot are any indication, this show is not going to be what we're expecting. Reportedly, Regina King will lead a cast that includes Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr., and more.

There's a new kid in moving into The Neighborhood. Max Greenfield, best known for his role as Schmidt on the Fox comedy series New Girl, has been tapped to join CBS' The Neighborhood. The actor will replace Josh Lawson on the newly ordered comedy show.

PETA has challenged HBO to a duel. The activist organization is calling for HBO to cease using wild animals in its productions, according to an announcement the group released on Monday. The statement came in response to the Westworld series' use of wild elephants during its second season.

The best time to sign up for HBO Now? Right now. HBO has announced its complete lineup of new releases hitting HBO Now in May 2018. Standout launches include the Christopher Nolan-directed, Oscar-winning flick Dunkirk and the severely underappreciated coming-of-age drama Patti Cake$.

Barry is coming back, and so is Silicon Valley. HBO has handed a second season renewal to its Bill Hader-starring dark comedy series Barry, and has picked up the Emmy Award-winning Silicon Valley for a sixth trip around the television screen.

HBO revealed the lineup of new releases coming to HBO Now in April, and it's headlined by the second season premiere of the critically acclaimed sci-fi drama Westworld, starring Evan Rachel Wood, Ed Harris, and Thandie Newton.

Doctor Who's David Tennant has signed on to star opposite Jennifer Garner in the HBO comedy series Camping, from Girls' Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner.

Yann Demange joins Jordan Peele and J.J. Abrams to direct and executive produce HBO's supernatural racial drama Lovecraft Country.

Alien: Covenant is just one of the big movies from 2017 that will hit the streaming service next month.

HBO beat out Apple in an intense bidding war for the project.

Damon Lindelof adapts the beloved comic series for the small screen.

Logan will hit HBO Now along with a new show from Game of Thrones star Kit Harington.

Could we finally see a Deadwood revival?

The guy will be by again in January.
