Der President & CEO Global Streaming bei Warner Bros. Discovery, Jb Perrette, hat sich in einem Interview auch zum Deutschlandstart des Streamingdienstes Max geäußert. Vor dem Hintergrund des heutigen Max-Launch in Frankreich sprach der Streaming-Chef ebenso über die drei wichtigen europäischen Märkte Deutschland, Großbritannien und Italien, in denen es einen Exklusiv-Deal über Wbd-Inhalte mit Sky gibt.
„Wir werden in den nächsten zwei Jahren auch nach Großbritannien, Deutschland und Italien kommen“, sagte Perrette im Bezug auf den Streamingdienst Max. Laut diverser Quellen läuft der Exklusiv-Deal zwischen Wbd und Sky Ende 2025 aus. Das passt genau auf die Formulierung Perrettes.

House of the Dragon S2 Will Explore Aemond's 'Shadow Side', Says Actor Ewan Mitchell - Main Image
Fans have seen Aemond Targaryen as a major villain in House of the Dragon after his dragon, Vhagar, kills Arrax and its master, Lucerys Velaryon, in the first season finale.
Despite this negative connotation given to Aemond, Ewan Mitchell teases his character will “surprise people” in the upcoming House of the Dragon Season 2.
Aemond House of the Dragon Season One
Aemond didn’t see the death of Lucerys and Arrax coming as he and his dragon, Vhagar, chased the two.
Aemond and Lucerys lost control of their dragons, with Arrax breathing fire on Vhagar against Lucerys’ protest.
But just when Lucerys thought they were safe after regaining control of Arrax and commanding him to fly over the storm clouds, an enraged Vhagar appeared, bit Arrax in pieces, and ate Lucerys whole.

House of the Dragon’s Matt Smith is set to come back as Daemon Targaryen in the show’s upcoming second season that’s just a week away from landing on streaming, and this time the character will surely be nothing like we saw him in the first season.
Usually quite unhinged, yet still villainous and relentless in his determination to do good for his family (but mostly himself), Daemon will come back as a quiet support for Rhaenyra who is set to change her gowns and jewelry for a shield and a sword.
Ahead of those major changes that House of the Dragon season 2 will bring alongside its full-scale war between the Blacks and the Greens, the actor reflected on what it would be like for his other iconic character to be transported to Game of Thrones’ universe, and, even given his total inconsistency with George R.R.

Warning: Contains spoilers for ‘Rogue’
This first series of Doctor Who’s latest reboot has been a lot of things — silly (‘Space Babies’), spectacular (‘The Devil’s Chord’), intense (‘Boom’), scary (‘73 Yards’), and, by the end of last week’s Black Mirror aping ‘Dot And Bubble’, pretty damn bleak even too. But not since Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson’s first outing as the Doctor and Ruby Sunday, ‘The Church On Ruby Road’, have we had an episode as outrageously fun Regency-era romp ‘Rogue’. Poured from the pens of guest writers Kate Herron and Briony Redman, this week’s adventure is good old-fashioned monster-of-the-week Who with a deliciously queer twist.
Leaving Finetime well behind, ‘Rogue’ finds the Doctor and Ruby in early 19th-century Bath, enjoying a ball at the stately mansion home of the Duchess of Pemberton (a suitably hissable Indira Varma). All britches, bodices, “You cad!” admonishments, and anachronistic...

Actor Matt Smith was among those who instantly captivated showrunner Ryan Condal‘s attention. He was a promising talent who would have looked right at home in King’s Landing’s shadowy back lanes. Condal was further encouraged to sign him on by his recent portrayal of King Phillip in The Crown. And it seems like his character Daemon’s arc is his favorite in House of the Dragon‘s second season.
Ryan Condal is proud of Daemon’s storyline in Season 2
Daemon Targaryen is George R. R. Martin’s favorite Targaryen. He is also favored by the audience despite all of his flaws. Condal recently talked to SFX magazine, discussing his favorite storyline from House of the Dragon Season 2:
“The story that I’m most particularly proud of this year is Daemon’s story. It was very hard to break and very challenging to dramatize and film and then edit.

Plot: Westeros is on the brink of a bloody civil war with the Green and Black Councils fighting for King Aegon and Queen Rhaenyra, respectively.
Review: It was always going to be an uphill climb for House of the Dragon to live up to the peak of Game of Thrones. With an uneven first season but still better than the ending of the series that inspired it, House of the Dragon concluded its first season with the beginning of a civil war between Targaryens vying for the Iron Throne. Despite solid performances from Paddy Considine, Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy, and Olivia Cooke, House of the Dragon‘s sprawling time jumps and reliance on dragons rather than intriguing characters worth investing in made it hard to care about what happened until the war began. Even though it is two episodes shorter than the previous season, House of the Dragon begins with...

Warning: this Doctor Who review contains spoilers.
This episode is delightful.
Thanks for reading, see you next week!
Ok, obviously there’s more to it than that. For a comparatively lightweight romp in which the Doctor and Ruby battle silly-looking bird aliens cosplaying an episode of Bridgerton, there’s plenty going on under the hood. But if you’re after the tl;dr, delightful really does the job. The writing by Kate Herron and Briony Redman, is sharp, full of funny lines and clever misdirects. The performances directed by Ben Chessell, are all on point – the leads are predictably great, but the guest stars are also completely dialled in, particularly Jonathan Groff. The costumes naturally look sensational because the BBC can do this stuff with its eyes closed. The whole thing is just a really good time.
So, where to start? Perhaps with a question that has been hanging in...

Our Summer Horror Preview 2024 is here! The 2024 slate of summer horror releases looks packed, which is excellent news, considering the year has gotten off to a sluggish start for the genre at the box office. Not only is the release schedule so stacked that it’s guaranteed to keep us distracted while we wait for Halloween, but this summer also brings some of the year’s most anticipated titles from MaXXXine to Alien: Romulus and Longlegs.
This guide covers the highlights of what’s already been announced, but as always, expect a handful of streaming, Digital, and VOD releases to pop up over the next few months as well.

The second season of House of the Dragon promises to be an exciting display of battle and gore. In the forthcoming season, the performers, reviewers, and fans can’t wait to watch their characters take on fresh obstacles and storylines. HBO received very positive feedback from the first House of the Dragon Season 2 premiere, which took place recently in New York City.
Critics are in awe of House of the Dragon Season 2
The expectations with the second season of the Game of Thrones prequel were just as high as its hype meter, and it is surely holding up just fine. Several industry experts and celebs were invited to the limited screening held on 4th June, and the reviews are out now. While Rotten Tomatoes rated Season 2 88% initially, it has been on the rise ever since, currently sitting at 93%. Most of the critics have also given a 4+ rating out of 5 after the premiere.

HBO's Game of Thrones prequel series, House of the Dragon, returns for its second season in ten days, and the review embargo has now lifted.
Though most critics got to see all 8 episodes, some only got the first 2, which should be taken into account when reading through these verdicts.
Though reviews are still coming in, House of the Dragon season 2 currently sits at a very impressive 92% on Rotten Tomatoes.
"Approaching its dynastic cataclysm with a deliberate stride rather than a charging gallop, House of the Dragon carefully sets up its emotional stakes to make the fiery spectacle all the more scorching," reads the Critics Consensus.
The cast - particularly Emma D'Arcy as Rhaenyra Targaryen - come in for universal praise, as does the production values, VFX and intense action sequences (it sounds like season 2 ups the gore quota considerably), but some seem to feel that the story has a few issues,...

As anticipation builds for the premiere of the highly awaited second season of House of the Dragon, fans take a notorious dig at a particular House Stark actor, Tom Taylor. Set to play Cregan Stark, the Lord of Winterfell in S2, Taylor has surprisingly garnered immense hate and criticism since his casting announcement.

A lot of people seem to be skeptical based on Tom Taylor’s appearance as Cregan Stark which lacks intimidation. However, as fans delve back into the complex world of Westeros with House of the Dragon S2, a few of them rally behind Taylor, fervently defending him against backlash.

"House of the Dragon" was always going to live in the shadow of "Game of Thrones." The big question was how effectively it could operate in that shadow, and if it could carve out its own identity while weathering constant comparisons to the series that spawned it. The show's first season was an often remarkable proof of concept — yes, this was another show set in author George R.R. Martin's fantasy kingdom of Westeros, but it had its own flavor, its own tone. Spanning decades (and recasting several key characters halfway through the season as they aged up), it was a show operating at a sprint, hungry to prove itself, and hungry to prove itself entirely self-reliant, that it is its own show.
The funny thing about the long-awaited second season of "House of the Dragon," after all that grand distance established in the first outing, is how much it feels like "Game of Thrones.

Very few shows have ever caught my attention the way the world of Game of Thrones has the opening title sequence. The music hits, sending chills down my spine, knowing I am ready to be engulfed in this world of lies and deceit. We’ve waited close to two years to reenter the world of Westeros, but House of the Dragon has returned for a second season, and I’ve got so much to say about it.
House of the Dragon Season 2 Plot
King Viserys Targaryen’s death sent shockwaves through Westeros as a succession plan backfired in the face of Princess Thaenyra. Westeros is on the brink of a bloody civil war between the Black and Green Councils, fighting for Queen Rhaenyra and King Aegon, respectively.

On House of the Dragon, there are prominent characters named Rhaenyra, Rhaenys, and Rhaena. There’s an Alicent and also an Alys. There are identical twins named Arryk and Erryk (both pronounced like “Eric”). There are references to multiple characters named Jaehaerys, and there’s also a Jacaerys, whose nickname is Jace, though you shouldn’t confuse him with a different character named Jason. And did I mention that Jason also has an identical twin?

The opening lines of “House of the Dragon” Season 2 stem from a character I’m not meant to name speaking of things that have no real bearing in the “Game of Thrones” universe. “Duty is sacrifice,” the man says. (I hope I can say he’s a man.) “It eclipses all things, even blood. All men of honor must pay its price.” Sorry to interrupt, good sir, but who are these “men of honor” you speak of? Are they hiding? Is HBO saving them for the next spinoff? Some are certainly dead, given the body count on which George R.R. Martin has built his brutal world, but there are scant few in “HotD” who fit the description. To be fair, the narrating man qualifies, and his colleagues also appear to be living a principled existence. But having seen nine seasons of heartless betrayals and maniacal power grabs, simply recognizing one...

The hectic inaugural season of House of the Dragon covered roughly 20 years as the long-standing peace under King Viserys came to an end. In the season’s final two episodes, the series found its footing, establishing the parallel claims to the throne between the Black faction that follows Viserys’s appointed heir, daughter Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy), and the Green faction under Rhaenyra’s former best friend, Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke), who follow Alicent and Viserys’s young, impetuous son Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney).
All the table setting and time jumping that dominated the better part of the first season have, perhaps inevitably, set the stage for a much stronger second season for House of the Dragon. It’s also, especially for a Game of Thrones property, surprisingly restrained. The first four episodes made available to press cover only a few weeks, and the entire opening episode, “A Son for a Son,...

While a spiritual successor to Game of Thrones in many aspects from the general setting to political scheming as a crucial part of the plot, House of the Dragon has many noticeable distinctions from its mother show. However, the upcoming Season 2 will get rid of some of them, “leaning into the Game of Thrones formula,” star claims.
HotD Always Felt Smaller Than GoT
Perhaps the biggest and most obvious distinction between the two TV shows is their character roster. Game of Thrones followed multiple characters from different dynasties and origins, located at time across the world from each other — whereas House of the Dragon focuses solely on the Targaryen dynasty as its title implies.
This far more modest selection of main characters comes with its own consequences: namely, the fact that HotD doesn’t really show its viewers Westeros.

Matt Smith (Last Night in Soho) and Morfydd Clark (Saint Maud) star in the supernatural horror film Starve Acre, which is coming our way from BAFTA-nominated Apostasy creator Daniel Kokotajlo. It was announced back in October that the film had secured North American distribution through Brainstorm Media, and now we know what Brainstorm has planned for it: they will be giving Starve Acre a theatrical and VOD release on July 26th. Along with that information comes the unveiling of a trailer for the film, and you can check that out in the embed above.
Based on a novel by Andrew Michael Hurley, Starve Acre is said to be a “brooding horror film” that follows Richard and Juliette, whose seemingly idyllic rural English family life is thrown into turmoil when their son Ewan starts acting out of character.

Despite the success of House Of The Dragon’s first season, both in terms of its burnished worldbuilding and its broadly positive critical response, the second arrives with much expectation that it can do better. Whether it was the relative lack of geographical and social scope, the big leaps forward in time, or the constant casting switch-ups as characters aged, even its biggest fans had a niggle they could mention. On all those fronts, we have good news. Season 2, now run solo by Ryan Condal (co-showrunner Miguel Sapochnik having bowed out), is more chronologically focused, less fidgety with its actors, and has its eye on the world (and the social strata) beyond the highborn Targaryen court.
It opens with a reassuringly familiar musical theme and location, welcoming us briefly back to Winterfell, where we meet Lord Cregan Stark (Tom Taylor), promising a Northern contingent in the war to come. And...

BFI Distribution has released the official UK trailer for ‘Starve Acre,’ an unsettling British folk horror written and directed by BAFTA nominee Daniel Kokotajlo (Apostasy), starring Matt Smith and Morfydd Clark.
1970s, rural Yorkshire. Richard and Juliette Willoughby’s seemingly idyllic family life is thrown into turmoil when their young son Owen starts acting out of character. A sudden, tragic event brings grief and drives a wedge between the once-happy couple. At Starve Acre, their remote family home, academic archaeologist Richard buries himself in exploring a folkloric myth that the ancient oak tree that once stood on their land is imbued with phenomenal powers. While Juliette turns to the local community to find some kind of peace, Richard obsessively digs deeper. An unexpected discovery soon occupies the couple’s attention and dark and sinister forces, unwittingly allowed into their home, offer a disturbing possibility of reconnection between them.

“House of the Dragon” showrunner Ryan Condal describes the second season of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” prequel as a “cold war in process.”
“And that’s really because of the dragons,” Condal told Variety at the Season 2 premiere Monday night in New York City. “Everybody’s terrified of launching mutually assured destruction and burning down the kingdom that they’re trying to rule over.”
“House of the Dragon” Season 2 will continue to chronicle the royal succession civil war, known as the Dance of Dragons, between two rival factions of House Targaryen: the greens and the blacks.
“I think I was most excited to explore the exchange of power,” Olivia Cooke said of her character, Alicent Hightower. “She was at the height of her power come the end of Season 1, and now her son’s on the throne, making her the Queen Dowager. I don’t think she’s really...

There's a long and rich history of nerve-fraying folk horror in British cinema. From Witchfinder General to The Wicker Man, and A Field In England to small-screen offerings like recent Doctor Who chiller '73 Yards', these isles have proven perpetually fertile ground for tales of eldritch terror. And into that canon is about to come writer-director Daniel Kokotajlo's (Apostasy) Starve Acre. An adaptation of Andrew Michael Hurly's same-named novel, the film sees Matt Smith and Morfydd Clark star as a couple whose rural family bliss is disrupted when their son begins acting very strangely. Check out the atmospheric trailer for the movie below:
With its folk legends of 'Dandelion Jack', candlelit séances, creepy kids, reanimated rabbits, and grim-faced stars, the rain-lashed and mud-strewn Starve Acre looks like it'll be right at home amongst its rural horror peers. Here's the official synopsis, offering some tantalising clues as to what's going...

"I am here for her!!" Brainstorm Media has unveiled an official US trailer for a British folk horror film titled Starve Acre, written and directed by British filmmaker Daniel Kokotajlo. This first premiered last year at the 2023 London Film Festival in the Main Competition, but it didn't win anything then or show up at any other festivals after. The film is described as a "meditation on grief and memory", starring Matt Smith and Morfydd Clark (from The Rings of Power) as an idyllic rural couple who descend into madness. Their life is thrown into turmoil when their son starts acting strangely, unwittingly allowing dark and sinister forces into their home, awakening a long-dormant ancient evil rooted deep in the countryside. Also starring Erin Richards, Sean Gilder, Robert Emms, & Roger Barclay. It did get mostly positive reviews, one saying it is "fantastically enigmatic horror film done beautifully well." Seems like it has plenty of creepy moments.

Actor Matt Smith, who plays Daemon Targaryen on House of the Dragon, recently appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Fans of the show were also treated to an exclusive clip from Season 2 during the interview.
The clip showed an interaction between Daemon Targaryen and Erryk Cargyll, two characters who share very little screen time in Season 1 and are rarely seen together in George R.R. Martin’s Fire and Blood, on which the show is based.

Steven Moffat has penned cancel culture comedy drama Douglas Is Cancelled. Here’s the trailer for the new programme.
Before Steven Moffat became known for writing some of the greatest episodes of Doctor Who, like The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, The Girl In The Fireplace, Blink, Silence In The Library/Forest Of The Dead and then showrunning the Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi eras, he was a prolific comedy writer.
His first series, Press Gang, was a huge success and he followed it up by drawing on his own divorce for the fantastic, farcical Joking Apart. Though school sitcom Chalk was a misfire, his greatest sitcom success was Coupling, a tightly plotted ensemble sitcom that included one episode with half the dialogue in Hebrew and another in split screen, with several plots taking place simultaneously.
Moffat’s next series is comedy drama Douglas Is Cancelled. The synopsis reads as...

After the long wait of nearly two years, our favorite epic fantasy political drama is back, and this time with even more dragons. It has been more than five years since Game of Thrones ended and no other series has been able to replace the hole it left in the television space until its prequel series House of the Dragon came out to reclaim its fans and apologize to its fans for the terrible Season 8 of Got. Now we are finally getting the second season of the fan-favorite HBO series.
Based on Fire & Blood by author George R. R. Martin, the HBO series is created by Ryan Condal and R. R. Martin.

Matt Smith may play a fan-favorite Targaryen right now, but there was another Targaryen descendant who has always had fan support for being the best Game of Thrones character. Fans may get riled up for that exact reason at Smith’s recent comments on who would win a battle between Daemon Targaryen and Jon Snow. Smith shared that Daemon would emerge victorious over Kit Harington’s Jon Snow in such a scenario.
