Walking Dead Cliffhanger Resolution is Worth the Wait Says Reedus
While The Walking Dead will be back for Season 7 this fall, fans of Norman Reedus won’t have to wait that long to see the actor back on AMC, as he’s starring in the new series, Ride With Norman Reedus, debuting this Sunday.
I sat down with Reedus to discuss that show – look for that full interview later this week – but I also had the chance to ask him about The Walking Dead’s much-debated cliffhanger, which revealed the show’s new villain, Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), had killed someone, but not who.
I asked Reedus if he was looking forward to fans getting the resolution to that cliffhanger and he replied, “Yeah! I mean, the truth of it is that it's very precious to us, what we're doing, and it's our thing we're doing out in the woods. It would almost be doing it a disservice to us to go around blabbing about it, because we put so much work into it, and it's so personal to us that we almost don't want to talk about it too much, because it's private and personal, and you'll see it."

According to TV Insider, Echikunwoke isn't available for the role thanks to "some possible film projects."
Game of Thrones: Sansa’s Secret Letter Translated by Fan
Spoilers for Game of Thrones continue below.
There are two big questions surrounding Sansa Stark's actions at the end of "The Broken Man." First: what did she write in that letter? Second: who did she send the letter to?
While we still don't know the answer to the latter question, one eagle-eyed Game of Thrones fan seems to have puzzled out the first. Savvy Redditor CreepyPancakes zoomed, screenshotted and analyzed the sequence where Sansa wrote her letter, and seems to have figured out most of what she wrote.
First Photo of Hogwarts from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Posted by the official Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Twitter account, the images show Rose Granger-Weasley surrounded by Hogwarts students and staff, with house banners hanging high above.

Agents of SHIELD’s Top 10 Episodes
With Marvel's Agents of SHIELD recently wrapping up its third season -- which is quickly coming to Netflix -- the time is right for a look back at the show's best episodes so far.
Agents of SHIELD took awhile to find its footing, but when it did, it began bringing in many notable Marvel characters and concepts to the screen - most notably the Inhumans and the entire idea of people born with hidden superpowers being introduced into the MCU. At the same time, the core characters began to be fleshed out and given more depth, leading to much more impactful scenarios than when the series began.
James Wan Chose Between Two DC Movies to Direct
