It’s Friday night and the mood is right. Time to have some fun, show you how it’s done, TDIF. That’s right, it’s “Thank (the) Doctor It’s Friday,” as we say “Brilliant!” to another week with Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor. Let’s celebrate everything Doctor Who the best way we know how—with a Friday gif party.

The latest episode of The Good Place has our heroes finding their hidden strengths when faced with insurmountable odds. But it also provided fans with a really great callback to season one.

Back in 2015, a single image convinced me I would never watch Doctor Who. An older man running away from a giant explosion, pulling along a much-younger woman gazing at him in pure adulation. It exemplified everything that frustrated me about gender representation in film and TV. I’ve since learned the ways of the …

American Horror Story may have had a rough few seasons, but Apocalypse has so far felt like a return to glory. In the latest episode, the horror anthology came back to the beloved “Murder House” that started it all. We got some classic murder and mayhem, along with a few surprising happy endings—culminating in a major…

The first trailer for The Kid Who Would Be King, from the director of Attack the Block, looks to be your classic cheesy family fare, about a boy who finds the Sword of Excalibur and trains an army of tweens to fight fiery demons from hell. Wait, hold on a second.

Halloween is a time to be scared—specifically, by scary movies. But what if you’re someone who’s especially jumpy? For the latest episode of io9's series, UnScene, Gizmodo Editor in Chief Kelly Bourdet faced her personal fears by watching Halloween for the first time, alongside a Deadspin staffer (and Michael Myers…

The announcement that Star Trek: Discovery’s Michael Burnham was actually Spock’s adoptive sister raised a few Vulcan eyebrows, and that was before Spock himself was added to the season two cast. Showrunner Alex Kurtzman is doubling down on his promise that this version of Spock isn’t going to muck up the timeline.…

Sherlock creators Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss’ long-awaited Dracula miniseries is finally happening, and the BBC is partnering with Netflix to make it a reality. And here’s the best part: Oh yeah, it’s a period piece.

As a 30-something woman who grew up with The Craft, Charmed, and (of course) Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina feels like being a teen witch again. Only this time, it’s not magical pancakes or superhero costumes, it’s a dark exploration of Satanic worship and the horrors of the…

Sometimes, there’s an episode of television that changes your life. This is not one of them. This episode is so stupendously ridiculous that it holds a special place in my half-nerd, half-witch heart. It takes the cheesiest parts of comic book films, grinds them with a marble mortar and pestle, and distills them down…

Season 11 of Doctor Who has brought with it a lot of changes. Not only is this the first season with a female Doctor, played by Jodie Whittaker, but we’ve also got a new showrunner in Chris Chibnall. We spoke with him and executive producer Matt Strevens about how they’re approaching the new season and what they’re…

Your wish is granted. The debut teaser trailer for Guy Ritchie’s live-action Aladdin, starring Will Smith as the Genie, has arrived. We’re in a whole new world now.

Netflix has released a new look at Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, immediately addressing one of our biggest questions: What exactly is Salem’s deal here? As we see in this first clip, this is not the Salem Saberhagen that we’re used to.

The season 3 premiere of Riverdale was pretty boring, giving us more of the Archie vs. Hiram shit that doesn’t work if they’re not seductively wrestling each other. At least, until the last five minutes, when Taylor Swift’s boyfriend walked into the room, set off a giant smoke bomb, and said “Everything’s changed,…

Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has many characters who are familiar to fans of the horror series from Archie Comics, as well as Melissa Joan Hart’s ‘90s TV show. There’s Sabrina (of course), the aunts, Harvey Kinkle, Ambrose, and beloved black cat Salem. However, there’s a new addition to Sabrina’s circle,…

We all know that famous throne from Game of Thrones, but there are a lot of butts that need seats on the HBO series. For the discerning Mother of Dragons, one YouTuber has hand-carved a custom wooden dragon throne that looks pretty badass. Make sure you avoid splinters, though.

Syfy’s Nightflyers has an idea of what it wants to be—the next sci-fi horror, taking the best parts of The Expanse and Event Horizon and fusing them with George R.R. Martin’s beloved novella. The pieces are there for a good show, with a group of (mostly) talented actors and a promising story. Sadly, based on the first…

Don’t you love when you get to share one of your favorite movies with someone who’s never seen it before? That’s the idea behind io9's new series, UnScene, where Gizmodo Media Group staffers celebrate their fandom by introducing first-timers to their beloved films. And of course, we had to start with the greatest…

The Javits Center in New York City may have closed its doors, with the panels cleared and the booths emptied, but we haven’t seen the last of this year’s New York Comic Con. Our team spotted some fantastic cosplay in the Big Apple—so much so, that we couldn’t resist sharing our favorite photos and an awesome, tech…

Doctor Who returned last night, and brought with it a whole new look, a whole new cast, and a whole new Doctor in the form of Jodie Whittaker. There were thrills! Chills! Lots of accents! It had so much, we just had to grab a few people to hash it all out.
