The Witcher season 4 may be slated to come out sometime this year, but Netflix is wasting no time getting cracking on the follow-up. The team behind the series is already hard at work on the show's fifth and final season, even as we await an official release date for season 4. And now, some of the first pictures from filming have leaked onto the world wide web. They reveal an interesting fight scene ahead in season 5, as well as giving us our best look yet at some of Geralt's Hansa — aka his group of close traveling companions with whom he'll traverse the Continent in these final two seasons.

It should go without saying, but these will contain Spoilers for season 4 and 5 of The Witcher.

First Look at Geralt in The Witcher Season 5 (Exclusive)https://t.co/oWfelbYyL7

Above, we get our first look at Liam Hemsworth...

Netflix's monster-hunting fantasy show The Witcher is in the middle of a very interesting transition. The shows third season marked the final time that actor Henry Cavill will play lead character Geralt of Rivia; when The Witcher returns for season 4, it'll be Liam Hemsworth under the white wig. We're at a point in Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher books where the narrative shifts focus away from Geralt and centers Princess Ciri (Freya Allan) for the back half of the saga as some very weird, multiversal meta elements rise to the forefront. It'll be very curious to see how fans react to these changes when The Witcher season 4 drops on Netflix.

One person who's not particularly concerned is Graham McTavish, who plays the Redanian spymaster Sigismund Dijkstra. McTavish is a seasoned actor who's appeared in tons of genre fare, including Outlander, House of the Dragon, The Hobbit movies, and even the...

The anticipation for Lulu’s return on General Hospital is high. After a bomb destroyed the Floating Rib restaurant in 2020, Lulu — then played by Emme Rylan — ended up in a coma. Ever since, she has been in a long-term care facility. But the meds she was given took a toll on her liver. So, she underwent a risky transplant operation. The donor, Sam, died from a heart attack while in recovery, and Lulu’s mom, Laura, has been begging her daughter to emerge from her comatose state. Lulu’s return is imminent, and we now know when Alexa Havins will officially take on the role. And it’s just around the corner.

The Time Is Imminent

Because Sam (Kelly Monaco) died and the hospital wants to transfer Lulu back to the care facility, Laura has been at her daughter’s side begging for her to awaken so that Sam’s death would mean something.

The 21st century has been an era of sequels, reboots, and spinoffs. While these projects have saturated the market for many years, some are worth checking out. One of the reasons that a spinoff could find unexpected success without imitating the original movie or TV show is by incorporating darker and more intense storylines. Since a spinoff doesn't have the pressure and expectations that the original film or series might face, it can experiment with style and tone to exciting results. A good spinoff will root itself within the story's universe while working to stand alone as an individual project.

When many of the best legacy movie sequels differentiate themselves by going down a darker path, this could mean that more mature and adult themes will play a large part in the project. This makes sense, as when a TV show takes on a more serious tone, more emotional strife...

Gareth David-Lloyd is open to returning to Doctor Who. Ianto's impact on Doctor Who remains strong, with a shrine dedicated to him and discussions ongoing. David-Lloyd has kept Ianto alive through audio dramas, giving hope for a potential return to TV.

Despite the character Ianto Jones giving his life in Torchwood's "Children of Earth" storyline in 2009, Gareth David-Lloyd (Ianto) is still open to returning to Doctor Who's main series. Making his debut in the Doctor Who spinoff season 1 in 2006, Ianto was a Cardiff-based Torchwood Three team member and began as the by-the-book, no-nonsense member of the group who would open up about his past and feelings towards leader Jack Harkness. Ianto also appeared in the Doctor Who season 4 finale "The Stolen Earth/Journey's End" to help defend Earth from the Daleks.

Fifteen years after Ianto gave his life to attempt to save the world in Torchwood: Children of Earth - Day Four,...

The sci-fi genre has always been one of the most beloved among cinephiles as it gives us a new look at a particular technology or our world. There was a time when Max (formerly known as HBO Max) was the place for peak sci-fi shows but after taking off Westworld and Raised by Wolves from the service, and since then it has been lacking a bit regarding sci-fi shows. But still, we picked the seven best sci-fi shows that we could find on Max.

Avenue 5

Avenue 5 is a sci-fi dark comedy series created by Armando Iannucci. The Max series is set in the future and mostly in space and it follows the story of the crew and passengers on board the interplanetary cruise ship named Avenue 5. A little mistake and the death of its chief engineer causes Avenue 5 to veer 0.21 degrees off course which results in the...

New Year's is the perfect time to binge-watch shows, but choose ones that can be completed within the time frame. Look for captivating shows that are not necessarily holiday-themed to add variety to your watch list. Consider shows like Torchwood, God Friended Me, and Lie to Me, which have fewer episodes and are suitable for a binge-watch before the new year.

New Year's, the coziest time of the year, is nigh, and it is the season for bingeing favorite comfort shows as well as discovering new amazing series. Seeing as it is exactly 45 days until New Year's Day, it is important to choose a show that could easily be completed within this time frame. This means that starting Buffy the Vampire Slayer, House, M.D., or How I Met Your Mother with the intent of finishing them by January 1 would not be the wisest decision. Thankfully, there are plenty of...

Per creator Russell T. Davies, the Doctor Who spinoff Torchwood may have a chance of revival, but not anytime soon. Davies revealed during a Q&a that there are currently no plans for the Torchwood Institute to appear on Doctor Who. While it's not a promise, Davies expressed his love for Torchwood and said they will think about bringing it back in some capacity.

The possibility of a Torchwood revival has been addressed by its creator. The show was a spinoff from Doctor Who focusing on the exploits of the alien hunters at the Torchwood Institute, especially Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles). Though the show was never officially cancelled and continues as an audio drama, it went off the air in 2011 after four seasons.

Per Digital Spy, during a recent Q&a, creator Russell T. Davies - who has returned as the showrunner for Doctor Who...

Warning: Contains major spoilers for Doctor Who ‘The Power of the Doctor’

News is emerging that the owners of Durdle Door aren’t too happy about their historic landmark being the scene of the thirteenth Doctor’s regeneration in Doctor Who.

Over four million of us tuned in on Sunday night to watch Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor shockingly regenerate into David Tennant in the climax of her final episode, ‘The Power of the Doctor’. It was one of the most anticipated TV moments of the year, and – judging from the reactions on Twitter – the Whovians went wild, essentially becoming the personification of the ‘screaming, crying, throwing up’ meme.

Although many fans were possibly so beside themselves about Tennant’s return that they barely registered where the scene was filmed, this particularly scenic regeneration took place on top of the famous Durdle Door arch near Lulworth in Dorset. However, the owners...

Actor John Barrowman, who portrayed Captain Jack Harkness on Torchwood, has set off a Twitter frenzy with a post depicting a visit to a show landmark in Cardiff, Wales.

Barrowman posted a selfie in front of a shrine to the show’s Ianto Jones, who was Capt. Jack’s lover on the show and tragically died in his arms in a mini-series episode, Children of Earth.

On Friday, Barrowman paid an incognito visit to the impromptu shrine set up to honor the Ianto character in Cardiff, a site near where the series was filmed. The shrine is still very popular with fans 11 years after the television series death.

Torchwood, a Doctor Who spin-off that aired on BBC America in the states, was an investigative unit based in Cardiff that battled extra-terrestrial threats. It ended its run in 2011.

Barrowman recently reprised his Capt. Jack role with a guest appearance on a...

After Maid Marian is kidnapped by the Sheriff of Nottingham, Robin Hood must get a band of men together in order to save her. Many are reluctant, given that they are massively outnumbered by the Sheriff’s forces – but those that do join Robin will stop at nothing to defeat the bloodthirsty tyrant. Together, they hatch an audacious plan to penetrate the depths of the Sheriff’s castle and reclaim Robin’s true love.

The first thing that springs to mind, literally, when Robin Hood: The Rebellion starts is do we really need that much on-screen exposition for a film about Robin Hood? After all, we seem to get a new story of this English folklore legend...

To celebrate the home entertainment release of Robin Hood: The Rebellion, available on DVD and Digital HD 5th November, we have a copy of the DVD up for grabs, courtesy of Signature Entertainment! Thrilling swordplay, brutal action and gripping intrigue make this fresh take on Robin Hood a must-watch for fans of Game of Thrones and Vikings, as well as those with a taste for action classics like Die Hard and The Raid.

Ben Freeman (a favourite of Emmerdale fans) makes a terrific Robin Hood – a reckless, brave hero going up against insurmountable odds. James Oliver Wheatley, soon be seen in the smash hit TV series Vikings, is a standout as the villainous and eminently hissable Sheriff of Nottingham, while screen legend and star of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Brian Blessed steals the show in the role of Friar Tuck.

Newcomer Marie Everett is a Maid Marian like you’ve never seen,...

The horror movie, about a radio station which is taken over by the ghost of a murdered woman, was of interest to us for a number of reasons among them the fact that it's a cool concept and the original trailer suggested a good looking film but what really got us excited was the fact that genre master Neil Marshall was on board as executive producer.

John Barrowman and Gareth David-Lloyd meet again in this trailer for Big Finish's Torchwood story, Broken...

John Barrowman's Captain Jack Harkness and Gareth David-Lloyd's Ianto Jones are set to reunite later this year. The pair will cross paths in a Big Finish audio adventure entitled Broken.

Here's the trailer...

And here's a synopsis...

"Whenever Ianto Jones has a tough day at work, he has somewhere he can hide. And, for Ianto Jones, it's always a tough day at work.

"His girlfriend is dead, his colleagues don't trust him, and his boss... his boss is something else. With no friends in the world, and his life in danger every day, is it any wonder that at night, Ianto Jones goes to the pub?

The first trailer for Edward Evers-Swindell's supernatural horror film, Dark Signal, has finally landed and it looks like a stylishly mounted production. The film is executive Produced by one of the very best names in horror, Neil Marshall (The Descent, Game of Thones), so it's had my interest for a while.

The film stars Siwan Morris, Gareth David-Lloyd, Joanna Ignaczewska, Duncan Pow, Eleanor Gecks, Cinzia Monreale and James Cosmo and hits DVD and Digital HD in the UK on May 30th, 2016.

Tagline: "Fear the Returned." The first trailer for Edward Evers-Swindell's (Infestation) Dark Signal has hit the air waves. The film, partially developed by Neil Marshall (The Descent), involves the spirit of a murdered girl. Sometimes, the dead still have a reason to stay behind. The film stars Siwan Morris, Gareth David-Lloyd and Joanna Ignaczewska. And, this horror film, from Wales, looks to blend several different stories together in this thrilling clip. The film involves at least two separate stories. Single mother Kate (Ignaczewska) is entangled with a desperate robbery plan, which leads her out into the wilderness.

As Doctor Who spin-off, Torchwood approaches its tenth anniversary, we rewind a decade to revisit its BBC Three origins...

BBC 3 was first connected with Doctor Who as a channel mentioned in The Dæmons (1971), and in 2005 became the broadcaster of Doctor Who Confidential (which ran from 2005 – 2011), providing the new series with accompanying documentaries akin to the existing DVD range. These were initially full of clips from the show's history, then became more about the making of the contemporary series. On top of this, 2006 saw the broadcast of Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood.

The BFI revealed the favourite couples from the world of film and TV, as voted for by the British public, as well as thousands of people from around the globe. And you know what – the top favorite film couple, both in the UK and internationally, is Raj and Simran from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), or Ddlj as it is better known, which celebrated its 20th anniversary this year. The result were announced the day of the worldwide release of Dilwale (2015), the latest in a number of films to reunite actors Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol on screen.

Ddlj, starring Bollywood legends Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, may not be very familiar to some UK audiences, but there is no denying that the film is quite simply a worldwide phenomenon.

Torchwood is back - on audio - and Naoko Mori could be reprising her role of Toshiko 'Tosh' Sato.

Mori told Digital Spy that she has been approached about playing Tosh again in Big Finish's series of audio dramas.

"I miss Torchwood so much," she admitted. "On Twitter, there's been a lot of fans saying, 'Bring it back!' - and it would be so nice to do something.

"I know there's a radio thing happening and they've talked to me about it as well, so hopefully that'll happen in due course."

It's been seven years since Tosh - and her unrequited love interest Owen (Burn Gorman) - were killed off in the gut-wrenching episode 'Exit Wounds'. But if you're still not over it, don't worry - neither is Naoko.

"Still to this day, just thinking about it makes me feel very sad," she said. "That was a really tough scene.

Big Finish’s Torchwood stories won’t be wrapping up any time soon – a second series for Barrowman and co. has been announced…

Only days after the release of Torchwood: The Conspiracy - the John Barrowman-starring debut adventure for the first series of Big Finish’s Torchwood audios – a second series of Big Finish's Torchwood has been announced.

Producer James Goss said this: “Everyone involved’s just had so much fun that we didn’t want to stop […] and Big Finish said, 'It’s okay, you don’t have to.’ We’ve already got the first script in and it’s a delight.”

Co-executive producer Nicholas Briggs added this: “I couldn’t really imagine that the response to our Torchwood series wouldn’t be positive. So I’m very pleased not to have been proved wrong. The series has so many dedicated followers and the audios have been written,...

After the success of its first run, Torchwood is getting a second audio series from March 2016.

One month after the current series ends, Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and his team will return with a new run of six Big Finish stories taking place at different times in the history of Torchwood.

"Everyone involved's just had so much fun that we didn't want to stop," said producer James Goss.

"And Big Finish said, 'It's okay, you don't have to'. We've already got the first script in and it's a delight."

Big Finish executive producer Jason Haigh-Ellery added: "It's wonderful to be able to commit so soon to a second series of Torchwood'.

"This is completely down to the immense support we have received from the fans of the series. We are delighted to be continuing the adventures of Captain Jack and his team!"

Co-executive producer Nicholas Briggs said: "I...

Captain Jack Harkness is to be joined by some more familiar faces, as Eve Myles and Kai Owen have signed up for Big Finish's Torchwood audio dramas.

They will reprise their roles as husband-and-wife team Gwen Cooper and Rhys Williams in the third release of the series.

Torchwood: Forgotten Lives will see the couple plagued by the same alien plot uncovered by Captain Jack (John Barrowman) in the opening story of the series, The Conspiracy.

Torchwood is just a fond memory for the two, but then the phone rings...

"Captain Jack's the poster boy, Ianto's the style, but Eve and Kai are the heart of Torchwood," said producer James Goss.

"Listening to the two of them back together is an utter joy. We pick up their story after Miracle Day. How has life been treating them? It's a delight to find out."

Forgotten Lives is written by Emma Reeves,...

Following in the footsteps of Captain Jack and Ianto, Gwen and Rhys will return for a new Big Finish Torchwood audio story…

Big Finish – the team who have brought us countless Doctor Who audio adventures and several spin-offs – are continuing their Torchwood-themed recruitment drive.

Specifically, they've found a space for Gwen Cooper and Rhys Williams. The loveable couple, described accurately in the press bumf as ‘the heart of Torchwood,’ will return for the third release in Big Finish’s upcoming Torchwood series.

Following in the tradition of bringing back the original cast members (the first story will feature John Barrowman returning as Captain Jack, and the second will star Gareth David-Lloyd as Ianto), Big Finish has nabbed Eve Myles and Kai Owen to reprise their roles from the show.

“Listening to the two of them back together is an utter joy,” says producer James Goss. “We pick up their story after Miracle Day.

Companions new and old combine as Strax makes the transition to the world of Big Finish's Doctor Who audio adventures…

While rumours of a Paternoster Gang Doctor Who spin-off have been floating around for ages, no one could have predicted this – an audio production that teams up Dan Starkey’s Strax with Tom Baker-era companions Jago and Litefoot, played by Christopher Benjamin and Trevor Baxter (they first appeared in Tom Baker’s The Talons Of Weng-Chiang in 1977).

While classic companions are normally fair game to Big Finish (indeed, there's already 9 series worth of Jago and Litefoot material), Strax’s inclusion here makes him the latest in a very-recently-established trend that has seen the Torchwood cast, the main show's Unit characters, Alex Kingston’s River Song, and Ian McNiece’s Winston Churchill all swap the televisual realm for Big Finish audio adventures, all in the space of the last year.

Good news for Torchwood fans, here - Gareth David-Lloyd is making a return to his Torchwood character Ianto Jones. Similar to John Barrowman’s audio plans, Gareth David-Lloyd will reprise the role of Ianto for a Big Finish audio adventure later this year.

The new story is entitled Torchwood: Fall To Earth, and it will be the second instalment in Big Finish’s new Torchwood audio series (Barrowman’s Torchwood: The Conspiracy will come first). Fall To Earth will see Ianto on the first privately-funded space flight, where everything naturally goes wrong. We're not sure when the story will be set, but we'd guess it'll have to be a few years ago, for obvious reasons.

Dedicated television viewers know that there will always be shows that everyone wants you to watch, either it’s a cult show, a show that ended way before it’s time, or seems to grab everyone’s attention but yours.

After months of drama that ultimately meant nothing but political theater when there are real problems to solve, Senator Chuck Hagel has been confirmed as Defense Secretary. Most gay advocacy groups are celebrating his commitment to further implementing the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

More than 75 influential Republicans have filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court asking them to overturn Prop 8. Among them is Meg Whitman, former CEO of eBay, who was a pro 8 supporter when she ran for governor of California. She says she changed her mind because "there is no legitimate,...

Andrew's weekly Torchwood reappraisal comes to the show's crowning moment: Children Of Earth...

This feature contains spoilers.

It's more horrific the second time you watch it, because you know what and why. 

Children of Earth is rare: a prime-time sci-fi drama that capitalised and expanded on its audience. Viewing figures were consistently high in what was considered a graveyard slot. Critical and popular acclaim followed. This does not happen often. 

Russell T. Davies has been accused of colourful, sentimentalised television. Children of Earth is brutal, pessimistic, and a behind-the-scenes triumph. It was cut down to five episodes rather than thirteen due to licence fee and budgetary issues, and had to accomodate cast unavailability (Noel Clarke and Freema Agyeman's presence was set up in Journey's End, but they were unable to reprise their roles). Anyone who's read A Writer's Tale will know that it was a difficult process to write,...

Birthday shoutouts go to Gareth David-Lloyd (above, on some show), who turns 31, Dianne Wiest is 64, and the faboo Reba McEntire is 57. What are your fave Reba songs? Here are mine: 5. "Is There Life Out There?" 4. "Whoever's In New England," 3. "Little Rock," 2. "Fancy," 1. "If I Were A Boy"

The results are in! We asked readers to name their favorite TV characters of all time and thousands responded. This year, for the first time, we weren't just asking about favorite gay TV characters. Folks could vote for characters of either gender - and all persuasions. Of course, this being AfterElton we expected gay characters to figure prominently on this list - and they do - but it is interesting to see what female and straight TV roles also resonated with the AfterElton readership.

Before we get to the actual rankings, here are a few statistics.

First, the top fifty came from a broad range of TV shows. Thirty programs were represented, and the two that made the best showing (Glee and Modern Family) placed only four characters each in the rankings.

Second, female characters nabbed 15 of the top 50 spots, or 30%.

Third, obviously a poll like this favors characters from...

Chicago – The holidays are a perfect time to remember some of 2011’s great entertainment events, and one of them was the Wizard World Chicago Comic Con, which took place August 11th-14th.

Steve Jones

What is it about Wales that it produces so many extremely attractive and talented men? Despite having a population of only three million, the country has given the world a long list of handsome actors,singers and celebrities including Luke Evans, Tom Jones, Ioan Gruffudd, Matthew Rhys, John Rhys Ifans, Anthony Hopkins, Gareth David-Lloyd and the recently deceased Andy Whitfield.

To that list I predict will soon be added 34-year-old Steve Jones, whose career is likely to hit hyperdrive when Simon Cowell’s U.S. version of The X Factor hits American television next Wednesday night.

Why am I so confident that U.S audiences will take to Jones? Well, everyone knows us gay guys are trendsetters when it comes to the next hot thing and many of us have been aware that the 6’2’’ Welshman is not only incredibly easy on the eyes, but is as charismatic as they come.

After last week’s controversial episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day, the question that haunted us was not whether it was okay to torture a man to death if he cannot die, but rather: who killed Torchwood? For a show that fans had been clamoring for and which cheered when it was announced that it had risen from certain death and cancellation by the joint financial efforts of Starz and BBC America to resurrect it as an American television series, who knew that within such a short timeframe that one would be wishing it had never been raised from the dead.

The irony is that Torchwood: Miracle Day tells the tale of what the world would look like if death ceased to exist. Miracle Day was the day that people stopped dying. Death had finally abandoned us and left the entire human race to rot for eternity. The blessing soon became...
