FXX has just released a “first look” detailing the sci-fi themed 10th season of Archer, also known as Archer: 1999. Of course, all the cast and crew are going to be enthusiastic about their own show, but it’s pretty undeniable how kick-ass this season (said to be the animated cult favorite’s final) is looking: Space…

io9's weekly roundtable Battle of Thrones is back for its final installment! We’re here to discuss the Game of Thrones series finale, “The Iron Throne,” which gave us some happy endings, at least one tragic death, and the mother of all surprise job promotions. Since two people can’t do this alone, I’m joined by both…

According to author Evan Winter’s official bio, the British-born son of South American parents was inspired to start writing when his own son was born, and “he realized that there weren’t many epic fantasy novels featuring characters who looked like him.” His African-inspired debut The Rage of Dragons helps fill that…

Today we’ve spent a lot of time talking and thinking about Game of Thrones’ final season, especially last night’s finale. But it was a long road to get to the “winner,” and if you’re feeling a little let down by how it all ended, why not take a lightning-fast (but no less nostalgic) cruise through the show’s 73…

Now that all the Avengers: Endgame hype is starting to settle down, we’re finally getting more details on upcoming projects involving Marvel’s characters, like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier series that’s coming to streaming service Disney+. We knew Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan would be reprising their movie…

We made it to the final episode of Game of Thrones!

Earlier this year, we learned that Netflix had snapped up the U.S. and international distribution rights to China’s first sci-fi blockbuster, The Wandering Earth. Then, earlier this month, the film (read our review below!) suddenly appeared on Netflix with zero fanfare. Which got us wondering: What else does Netflix…

io9's weekly roundtable Battle of Thrones is back to discuss Game of Thrones’ penultimate episode, “The Bells,” which could also have been titled “Everything’s on Fire” and “Well, That Character’s Dead Now Too.” Since we’ve already talked Lannistersr and dragons at length, we’re going to focus on a deeply personal,…

With just two episodes to go, our watch has nearly ended. But Game of Thrones still has a whole hell of a lot of ground to cover, especially after what happened last week...and we’re not referring to that damn coffee cup. That’s why we’ve got our weekly spoiler discussion zone all ready to go.

What We Do in the Shadows creators Jemaine Clement (who wrote last night’s “The Trial”) and Taika Waititi (who directed it) dropped some major hints yesterday for fans to expect some stellar guest stars. Considering the show has already featured the likes of Doug Jones, Vanessa Bayer, and Nick Kroll, anticipation was…

Last year we learned that Avatar Kyoshi, one of the most mysterious figures in the realm of Avatar: The Last Airbender, would be getting a pair of novels exploring her background and, as the title of the first book suggests, her rise to power. Today, we’re thrilled to share an excerpt from F.C. Yee’s Avatar, The Last…

When we last saw the members of the Losers’ Club—the misfit kids of Derry, Maine—they had just made a vow to reunite when Pennywise, the sewer-dwelling demon who preys on their worst fears, inevitably lurches back to life. As the first trailer for the much-anticipated It Chapter Two reveals, the characters may be…

Sometimes, you’re in the mood for three hours of Marvel superheroes, or 90 minutes of battles in Westeros. Other times...doesn’t a fast-paced short film that makes you laugh, think, or shriek in terror (or some combination thereof) sound kind of nice for a change? If that’s the case, io9 has you covered.

Though Rod Serling’s original Twilight Zone explored fears that are still potent today (personal ruin, sinister invaders, self-aware ventriloquist dummies), his show’s obviously a product of the past. Jordan Peele’s new version, however, couldn’t be more of the moment—which has proven to be both a strength and a…

The end is near for Legion—all according to plan by showrunner Noah Hawley—but FX and Marvel’s trippy adventures within the X-Men universe aren’t going to wrap up without turning your brain fully inside out first.

It’s been a while since Richard Madden has actually been on Game of Thrones—the Red Wedding was all the way back in season three!—but he’ll always be Robb Stark to us, even though he’s gone on to other things, including winning a Golden Globe for BBC thriller Bodyguard. However, he may be about to make a huge return…

Adam Savage is known to most people from Discovery Channel’s popular series MythBusters, but if you’re a sci-fi fan, you’ve no doubt taken notice of his extracurricular activities as well—many of which are inspired by Savage’s fascination with iconic props from some of his favorite movies. Now he’s got a new book that…

As the tagline for Lucifer’s fourth season—“He has risen”—suggests, the supernatural cop show very loosely based on a character co-created by Neil Gaiman (after the Good Book, of course) is here thanks to the power of resurrection. If you’re planning on diving right into the new season on Netflix (or if the finer…

If you’re going to be in San Diego this summer for Comic-Con, or if you happen to live in the area, and you’re a fan of Galaxy Quest—which, come on, what sci-fi fan isn’t a fan of the cult comedy classic?—a very cool, world premiere event will be taking place: “Galaxy Quest in Concert.” The San Diego Symphony will…

Welcome back to Battle of Thrones, io9's weekly breakdown of an important moment of conflict in the latest Game of Thrones episode. Last week, James and I talked about Jaime Lannister’s tense arrival at Winterfell, but this week’s “The Long Night” was pretty much an important moment of conflict from start to finish.…
