Fallout TV Series Adds Kyle MacLachlan and More to the Cast

The Fallout TV series continues to grow its cast adding Twin Peaks' Kyle MacLachlan as well as Xelia Mendes-Jones and Aaron Moten to the cast.

Variety reports that MacLachlan, Mendes-Jones, and Moten will join the previously announced Ella Purnell and Walton Goggins, who is reportedly playing the lead role as a character "based on the ghouls."

No word yet on any of the roles for the new cast members joining the production.

MacLachlan is best known for his role as special agent Dale Cooper in Twin Peaks. He has starred in several other David Lynch films, but has also been a mainstay on TV appearing in shows like How I Met Your Mother and playing the Mayor of Portland in Portlandia.

The Fallout TV series is set to begin production later this year with Westworld's Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy set to serve as executive producers. Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner are also executive producers and co-showrunners. Bethesda director Todd Howard is also an executive producer.

In addition to producing, Jonathan Nolan will direct the series premiere for Amazon having previously directed several episodes of Westworld and Person of Interest.

Fallout is just one of several video game adaptations for TV currently in the works. While Fallout is set for Amazon, HBO is developing a Last of Us TV series, and a Horizon series is heading to Netflix.

Meanwhile, Bethesda is busy working on its next game Starfield while also in the early stages of the next Elder Scrolls game. This means a new Fallout game might be further out and will likely not be done before the TV series hits Amazon.

The Horizon TV Series Appears to Be Called Horizon 2074 – Which Is Likely a Big Clue to the Story

PlayStation's Horizon TV series will seemingly be called Horizon 2074, indicating that it's partly set during the fall of civilization that takes place 1,000 years before the games.

The name was shared alongside a crew listing on the Directors Guild of Ontario website, matching reports from Jeff Grubb who shared the listing.

The 2074 date more or less matches up with the fall of civilization in the 21st century mentioned in the two PlayStation games (Zero Dawn and Forbidden West), which date it slightly earlier in 2066. The actual story of the Horizon games takes place around 1,000 years later.

Sony announced that Horizon would be expanding into a multimedia franchise in May alongside two other PlayStation game series: God of War and Gran Turismo. Little else is known about the Horizon 2074 other than it's coming to Netflix.

Horizon: Forbidden West, the second game in the franchise, was released earlier this year (IGN said it was amazing), and the series is breaking more new ground with a virtual reality game called Call of the Mountain coming to the PlayStation VR2.

Harley Quinn Season 3 Gets a July Release Date

HBO Max's animated Harley Quinn series returns for its third season in late July, the streamer announced today. The first three episodes of the season will debut on July 28, followed by weekly episodes through September 15.

Season 3 picks up the story of Harley (Kaley Cuoco) and Poison Ivy (Lake Bell) toward the end of their "Eat. Bang! Kill. Tour" that kicked off at the end of Season 2 — and continued through the tie-in comic of the same name. Upon returning to Gotham, the "new power couple of DC villainy" attempt to fulfill "Ivy’s long-desired plan of transforming Gotham into an Eden paradise."

The Season 3 teaser trailer begins as Harley presents Ivy with a kidnapped Amanda Waller, before transitioning into a montage of clips from the season ahead. It's brutal, it's horny, it's everything we've come to love and expect from the adult animated comedy.

Along for the joyride are King Shark (Ron Funches), Clayface (Alan Tudyk), Frank the Plant (JB Smoove), Kite Man (Matt Oberg), Batman (Diedrich Bader), Catwoman (Sanaa Lathan), and Commissioner Gordon (Christopher Meloni), among many others. Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn also appears as himself.

Xbox Games With Gold for July 2022 Revealed

Microsoft has announced that July 2022's Games with Gold are Beasts of Maravilla Island, Relicta, Thrillville: Off the Rails, and Torchlight.

As revealed on Xbox Wire, the four Games with Gold offerings will be available to anyone with Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, with Beasts of Maravilla Island and Thrillville: Off the Rails available starting on June 1.

Beasts of Maravilla Island is a Pokémon Snap-esque game where players take on the role of a wildlife photographer exploring a mysterious island. Players will solve puzzles and interact with the wild and wacky creatures of Maravilla island in the two to three hour adventure.

Also available on July 1 but only until July 15 is Thrillville: Off the Rails, an Xbox 360 game from 2007 that lets players manage their own theme park and build their own rollercoasters. Though it's relatively simple overall, the myriad mini-games sprinkled in led IGN to call it "a fun little package" in our 7/10 review.

Available later in the month, on July 16, is Relicta, a first-person, physics-based puzzle game where players must creatively combine magnetism and gravity in order to proceed. Taking on the role of a physicist stranded on a derelict moon base, solving puzzles is the only way to save your daughter and perhaps all of humanity in these eerie sci-fi adventure.

Finally, Torchlight is available on the same day, but only until July 31. This action-RPG comes from the creators of Diablo, and brought a fresh take to the genre when it was released in 2009. In our 8/10 review, IGN said: "That quest for loot is a lonely, solitary affair, but if Torchlight grabs you, it might be a while before it lets go."

Be sure to redeem June 2022's Xbox Games with Gold before they leave the service, which include Aven Colony, Project Highrise: Architect's Edition, Super Meat Boy, and Raskulls.
