You might think that The Gilded Age, HBO's mannered period drama about feather-light conflict between members of the upper crust in 1880s New York City, doesn't have anything in common with Gen V, a spinoff of The Boys where college students get their heads lasered off by sociopathic superheroes. And you'd be right...except for one thing: both of them are greatly expanding their casts ahead of their new seasons: that's season 3 for The Gilded Age and season 2 for Gen V.

Let's start with The Gilded Age, which counts the likes of Carrie Coon, Morgan Spector, Louisa Jacobson, Denee Benton, Taissa Farmiga, and Harry Richardson among its cast. Deadline reports on six new cast members coming aboard for season 3, some of them playing real-life figures from the time:

Dylan Baker (The Good Wife) is Dr. Logan, who treats super-fancy high society familiesKate Baldwin is Nancy Adams Bell, the older sister...

HBO has given a series order to Dtf St. Louis, a seven-episode dark comedy “about a love triangle between three adults experiencing middle-age malaise, that leads to one of them ending up dead,” according to the cabler’s official logline.

David Harbour and Jason Bateman — the latter of whom is replacing Pedro Pascal, who was originally on board when the project was first reported in 2022 — will star in and executive-produce the limited series. Writer, director and showrunner Steven Conrad will also executive-produce. Additional EPs include Jason Blumenthal, Steve Tisch, Molly Allen, Bruce Terris, Michael Costigan, Kristina Wenson and James Lasdun.

“Gen V” has added seven new cast members to the popular “The Boys” spinoff series, which returns for Season 2 in 2025.

The new additions include Keeya King (“Yellow Jackets”), Stephen Kalyn (“Warrior Strong”), Julia Knope (“In The Dark”), Stacey McGunnigle (“This Hour Has 22 Minutes”), Tait Fletcher (“The Mandalorian”), Wyatt Dorion (“Eerie Hall”) and Georgie Murphy (“Accused”).

For now, there are no confirmed details about the actors’ characters, but they’ll likely come in as new Godolkin University students, staff members or, perhaps, some of the Vought crew.

Returning cast members from Season 1 include Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh and Asa Germann. The Friday casting news comes nearly eight months after the tragic death of Chance Perdomo, who played GodU favorite Andre Anderson in the first season. He died at age 27 in a motorcycle accident in March.

The college-set spinoff series “Gen V” – set in the world of Prime Video’s hit superhero series “The Boys” – will return for a second season, and Deadline reports that the cast for the diabolical new season is growing.

Keeya King (“Yellowjackets“), Stephen Kalyn (Warrior Strong), Julia Knope (In The Dark), Stacey McGunnigle (This Hour Has 22 Minutes), Tait Fletcher (“The Mandalorian”), Wyatt Dorion (The Mouse Trap) and Georgie Murphy (Accused) have been cast in recurring roles for season two. Character details remain under wraps at this time, though.

About the series: “Set in the diabolical world of The Boys, Gen V expands the universe to Godolkin University, the prestigious superhero-only college where students train to be the next generation of heroes—preferably with lucrative endorsements. You know what happens when supes go bad, but not all superheroes start out corrupt. Beyond the typical college chaos of finding oneself and partying,...

Jon Hamm will be featured as the celebrity guest in the premiere of game show revival “Password,” NBC has announced.

Based on the original show, which ran from 1961 to 1975 (and has been revived in several forms since then), “Password” pits two teams compete against each other as they solve word puzzles using one-word clues. The team that solves for the password ultimately takes home 25,000. Each team consists of a contestant and a celebrity player, with executive producer Jimmy Fallon leading one team and a rotating guest leading the other. The series premiere will see Fallon compete against Hamm in an episode dedicated to Betty White, a frequent player on the original “Password” and the wife of the show’s original host Allen Ludden.

In addition to Hamm, Yvette Nicole Brown, Tony Hale, Chelsea Handler, Heidi Klum, Joel McHale, Chrissy Metz, Martin Short, J.B. Smoove and Meghan Trainor have been confirmed...
