18 hours ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Jeremy Renner is set to narrate History’s three-night event series, “The World Wars.”
The series tells the story of three decades of war from the perspective of men like Franklin Roosevelt, Adolf Hitler, George Patton, Benito Mussolini, Winston Churchill, Hideki Tojo, Charles de Gaulle and Douglas MacArthur. It will also examine the two World Wars as one contiguous timeline, starting in 1914 and ending in 1945.
“The World Wars” is produced by Stephen David Entertainment for History with David as executive producer, and Russ McCarroll, Paul Cabana and Elaine Frontain Bryant as as executive producers for History.
“The stories that came out of the World Wars are heroic, horrific and everything in between,” said Renner. “I’m happy to lend my voice to History and help tell these stories in a very different way.”
The series premieres at 9 p.m. on May 26.

FX has ordered a third season of its acclaimed drama series The Americans. The Cold War-era spy thriller starring Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys has been picked up for another 13 episodes.

When including seven days of DVR playback, The Americans has averaged 3.1 million viewers this year. The second season finale is scheduled for Wednesday, May 21. “Fans will be blown away by the rest of this season, »

TV: The Maya Rudolph Show to Debut in May
21 hours ago | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
After a long-delayed debut, The Maya Rudolph Show finally has a premiere date: Monday, May 19 at 10 Pm. Except here's the catch: it's yet unclear whether Rudolph's variety show will be a one-time special or an ongoing series. NBC will presumably base that decision on that first episode's ratings. Here's what we do know: There will be a ton of guest stars. Andy Samberg, Kristen Bell, Fred Armisen, Chris Parnell, Craig Robinson, and Sean Hayes are scheduled to appear, as is musical guest Janelle Monae and bandleader Raphael Saadiq. Rudolph was last seen guest-starring on Portlandia and will appear in P.T. Anderson's Inherent Vice in December. [h/t Av Club]

'I Wanna Marry 'Harry" promo: 'Prince Harry, Harry Potter, I don't care!' -- Video
9 minutes ago | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
American women will do just about anything for a fairytale royal wedding. Also, they don’t seem to keep up with the news much. At least, that’s what Fox’s new reality show, I Wanna Marry “Harry”, is counting on.
I Wanna Marry “Harry”, brought to us by the folks who dreamed up Joe Millionaire, follows 12 American women as they compete to win the heart of a guy who sort of looks like Prince Harry — but whom they wholeheartedly believe to be Prince Harry. (Apparently they didn’t know about the quotation marks in the show’s title.)

'Game of Thrones' star Alfie Allen on why Theon's torment gets easier to watch
18 minutes ago | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
Are you feeling sorry for him yet? Theon Greyjoy — that callous, ambitious and ultimately murderous former Stark ward — has endured more torment of any surviving Game of Thrones character. After betraying the Stark family last season, Theon (Alfie Allen) was captured by House Bolton, where he’s been subjected to all sorts of physical and psychological torments at the hands of Ramsay Snow (Iwan Rheon).
Last year’s Theon scenes were tough for many HBO viewers to witness, and so far this season Theon’s situation doesn’t seem all that much better — he’s out of the dungeon, at least, »

Chelsea Handler Announces She Will Stop Teasing Possible CBS Late Night Gig: VIdeo
18 minutes ago | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Chelsea Handler is no longer a part of the CBS late-night conversation, the comic having finished her deft manipulation of the media by announcing, “I would never go to CBS.” “My mouth? What would they do with me there?” she said, stating the obvious. “I would never be on a regular network. I would never do that to my fans, myself, or the network,” she added. Handler insisted the Instagram photo that she posted this week of her large-ish dog sitting on her lap, in which she’s seen holding papers upside down so that CBS logo could clearly be seen by viewers, was a giant misunderstanding, explaining she doesn’t look at photos before posting them. She’s talking to CBS about something entirely different, she said. DeGeneres noted the one solid fact in the Handler late-night saga is that she is ending her Chelsea Lately on E. “Is that your choice? »

Barnes & Noble’s Stock Price Drops After Chairman Sells 23.5% Of His Shares
23 minutes ago | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
The book retailer’s down 9.4% to $16.85 this morning after Chairman Leonard Riggio disclosed in an SEC filing that he unloaded 3.7M shares yesterday for an average of $17.30 apiece in a privately negotiated block trade. He says that he made the $64M deal “for long-term financial and estate planning purposes.” He still has 20.1% of the company’s stock, about 12.1M shares, making him “the Company’s largest shareholder, a position I feel very good about,” he said in a release. “I love this company and I believe in its future as I do in all of the wonderful people who work here.” It’s easy to understand why he’s so defensive: This is the second major stock sale by a Barnes & Noble insider this month: Earlier John Malone’s Liberty Media unloaded 90% of his stake. He picked up 17% of the company for $204M three years ago when he wanted to buy the retail chain. »

Meet the new Mormons: Ben Platt and Nic Rouleau are on a mission in Broadway’s biggest musical
32 minutes ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Nic Rouleau couldn’t get a ticket to The Book of Mormon.
Like the stories you’ve no doubt heard about the wildly popular, box office-busting Broadway show, tickets are one of New York’s hottest commodities, and they have been since the record-breaking show opened just three years ago. So Rouleau turned to the show’s daily lottery system — about 2 dozen tickets offered raffle-style to eager patrons, 98 percent of whom will leave disappointed — and lucked his way into the Eugene O’Neill Theatre that way.
“I won the lottery and saw it from house right up in the box, »

52 minutes ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
The just-announced Mrs. Doubtfire sequel won’t feature a full cast reunion. Mara Wilson, who played Robin Williams and Sally Field’s young daughter Natalie Hillard, has announced she has no desire to return for a second movie.
“I’ve been in some mediocre movies, but I’ve never been in a sequel. And I have no interest in being in one now,” the actress and writer wrote on Twitter. “Sequels generally suck unless they were planned as part of a trilogy or series. I think Doubtfire ended where it needed to end.”

1 hour ago | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
When there's a "Bob's Burgers" table read, it's an open secret. They aren’t advertised to the industry or the public, but a bright yellow sign ("Bob's Burgers Table Read") at the entrance to Bento Box's Burbank offices is visible from the street.Created by Loren Bouchard, best known for co-creating “Home Movies” on Adult Swim, “Bob’s Burgers” is equal parts heartfelt and cheeky, a show that tests the limits of an ordinary premise with a cast of exceedingly eccentric characters. However, “Bob’s Burgers” has a secret sauce. So how do they do it? Here is our unofficial five-step recipe for “Bob’s Burgers,” that we came up with after hanging out at a table read and chatting behind the scenes:Step 1: Bring together producers and writers that have worked together in the past.

Each week, host Jeff Probst will answer a few questions about the latest episode of ‘Survivor: Cagayan.’
Entertainment Weekly: One of the things that has amazed me most about this season is how some people seem to be playing with little to no regard for how their actions may hurt them later with a possible jury vote. Tony was so worried about Lj that he blew up his alliance to get rid of him, but when this went down — not knowing then how it would play out later — did you think at the time this was a bad move »
