Peter Dinklage discussed the potential for a third season of Poker Face in an interview with Deadline. He said that, according to what he’s recently heard from creator Ryan Johnson, the main challenge right now is finding a new network or streaming service to air the show.

In 2024, Marvel launched the first seasons of shows like Ironheart, Daredevil: Born Again, and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Star Wars fans enjoyed the final season of Andor and a new installment of Star Wars: Visions Volume 3. Both Marvel and Star Wars are expected to continue releasing popular streaming shows on Disney+ in 2026.

I love seeing characters grow and get stronger with awesome power-ups, but honestly, some of the coolest anime characters start at the top! They’re already incredibly powerful when we first meet them, and that’s what’s so captivating. They can be someone the main character looks up to, or a huge obstacle in their way. They instantly grab you with their sheer strength – strength they often spent years building before the story even began, which is just amazing!

Inspired by George R.R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg, this show offers a fresh perspective on the world of the Seven Kingdoms. Instead of focusing on powerful royal families vying for the Iron Throne, it centers on a humble knight who, while skilled with a horse, is short on money after his mentor’s death. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms follows the adventures of this knight and his young apprentice as they travel the land. Many viewers already believe the premiere episode showcases scenes that are as captivating as those in the original Game of Thrones series.

It’s no surprise to me that the season’s strongest episodes—this one and the first—focused on sewing, letting the queens simply be drag queens without unnecessary interference. However, this isn’t a great episode because of the challenge itself; it’s overly complicated, unpleasant, and feels like the producers were trying to make up for denying Vita a win in the first episode. What makes this episode good is the fantastic cast and how much fun they have interacting with each other. The song performances were bad, the scripted scenes were awkward, and the challenge is just strange. Ultimately, the success of this season depends on the queens, not gimmicks, and if the producers can avoid messing things up, the rest of the season should be really enjoyable.

I’m so excited to be here this week, soaking up all the energy of the festival! It’s incredible to see all the amazing movies, parties, and stars gather in this ski town for the last time after 45 years. I’ll be watching as incredible people stop by our studio on Main Street for portraits with Sinna Nasseri, and I can’t wait to hear the insightful conversations with Vulture writers Fran Hoepfner, Jason P. Frank, and Angelica Jade Bastién. And of course, I’m looking forward to a Ketel One espresso martini (or maybe a few!) from the fantastic bartenders. I’ll be sharing all my favorite moments and the latest news right here and on social media, so be sure to follow along!
