Vikings
History has posted both a new cast image and several very brief teasers for the upcoming third season of their historical saga “Vikings”. The new season kicks off on February 19th at 10pm US-EST.
In this season, Travis Fimmel’s Ragnar leads his people to the mythical city of Paris where they will fight to cement the Vikings legacy.
Riverdale
A few weeks ago came word that the ongoing horror comic series “Afterlife With Archie” might become either a TV series or a movie, and one separate to Greg Berlanti’s currently in development,”Archie”-inspired TV series “Riverdale” which will likely screen on FOX.
Now, an old interview with comic writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa from a while back has cleared up some of the confusion. Apparently, “Afterlife with Archie” will be incorporated into “Riverdale,” specifically every annual Halloween episode will be an ‘Afterlife’-based episode (ala “Treehouse of Horror” with “The Simpsons”).

Constantine
Mark Margolis, based known as the bell-tapping drug kingpin in “Breaking Bad,” has scored the role of Felix Faust in an upcoming episode of NBC’s “Constantine”.
In the comics, Faust is a powerful mystic who has menaced the DC Universe for decades, and is an early and dangerous Justice League villain. [Source: ComicBook.com]
Girls
HBO has officially renewed Lena Dunham’s comedy “Girls” for a fifth season, just days before the fourth season kicks off on the premium cable network.
HBO made the announcement Monday night at the show’s season-four premiere event and screening at the Museum of Natural History in New York. [Source: The Live Feed]
