‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Season 2 Is About to Get Political

‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Season 2 Is About to Get Political

Published by Jenni Sidey

It would be reductive to describe A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms as simply “Game of Thrones but funnier,” but it also wouldn’t be entirely inaccurate. The jocular tonal shift employed by showrunner Ira Parker’s massively popular prequel spin-off—which basically opened, need we remind you, with a visual gag employing both projectile diarrhea and the Game of Thrones theme —was essential to its out-of-the-gates success, proving that even the dour, depressing world of Westeros could be a laugh. Whatever the case, it was a winning formula: the first season made for one of the most impressive launches in HBO Max history, eventually hitting 9.2 million viewers for its finale. Naturally, then, everyone is clamoring for season two. Here’s the great news: eschewing the streaming-era trend in which hit shows can take upwards of three years and change (we’re looking at you, Stranger Things) before returning to screens, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms‘ sophomore outing is scheduled to hit HBO in 2027. This despite reported filming delays in Gran Canaria, where shooting has shifted from …

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Red Bricks – How to use them

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Red Bricks – How to use them

Published by Daniella Wilson

Every level in LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight comes with Red Bricks. These secrets take some effort to find, but unlocking them all is a must if you’re trying to 100% the game. But is it worth unlocking them if you’re not going for full completion? Here’s a quick explainer of what Red Bricks do in LOTDK and how to use them. What do Red Bricks do in LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight? In previous LEGO games, Red Bricks unlocked modifiers that gave you big buffs like extra studs and one-hit kills. Unfortunately, if you were hoping for some overpowered abilities, that’s not how they work in LOTDK. Instead, Red Bricks unlock new colour palettes that you can equip to any character’s suit and all vehicles. Still, it’s a nice way to add a bit of extra flair to your characters, if you’re all about the aesthetics. Want to see this content? This page contains content provided by Riddle.

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight cast – Full list of actors

Published by Daniella Wilson

With LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight launching this week, players will be starting to wonder who exactly is voicing Gotham’s Dark Knight in his latest brick-based game. Luckily, the casting of a new Batman actor for the game was confirmed ahead of time, as was the casting of one key villain.

Keep on reading and we’ll run through everything we know about the LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight cast. Who voices Batman in LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight?

Published by Daniella Wilson

Wondering how long it takes to complete LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight? In terms of scale, it’s probably the biggest LEGO game Traveller’s Tales has ever made, mostly thanks to the sheer size of Gotham City. So, how long does it take to complete the full LOTDK story? Here’s what you need to know. How long is LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight? Time to beat explained LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight will take the average player roughly 15 hours to complete.

EastEnders villain’s return revealed in all-new story for George Knight

EastEnders villain’s return revealed in all-new story for George Knight

Published by Daniella Wilson

George Knight (Colin Salmon) is set to receive a chilling shock in forthcoming EastEnders episodes – as adoptive father Eddie (Christopher Fairbank) stages a return. Auf Wiedersehen, Pet star Fairbank portrayed Eddie across 16 episodes in early 2024, and was eventually sent down for the murder of George’s birth father, Henry Asare, four decades previously. An EastEnders spokesperson told Radio Times: “We can confirm Christopher Fairbank will be returning to EastEnders for a short stint later this spring.” Arriving into Albert Square alongside wife Gloria (Elizabeth Counsell), it quickly transpired that their motives for reuniting with their son were deeply sinister. George discovered that he was adopted from West Africa as part of a baby farming agreement, and when Henry was sent to the UK to collect him, Gloria pleaded with Eddie to do whatever it took to stop him. With a number of his racist cronies, Eddie beat Henry to death before stuffing his body into a suitcase and throwing it into the canal. A young George witnessed the incident, unaware of Henry’s true …

I took my family on a Knights’ Retreat at Leeds Castle – did we have a ‘knight’ to remember or a ‘knightmare’?

I took my family on a Knights’ Retreat at Leeds Castle – did we have a ‘knight’ to remember or a ‘knightmare’?

Published by Daniella Wilson

Parents with young children will be aware of the school-holiday conundrum: it is both a boon and a burden to spend more time with your kids. You know the time is precious yet its preciousness is what puts so much pressure on you not to let it fritter away in front of the TV or with prosaic trips to local parks. I was thus over the moon to hear about a new initiative from the innovative folk at Kent’s Leeds Castle: its Knights’ Retreat family accommodation, comprising eight luxury lodges in the heart of the castle’s 500-acre grounds. The inspiration for the accommodation dates all the way back to the thirteenth century, when the castle’s hedonistic owner, Queen Eleanor of Castile, coined her home the ‘Castle of Delights’. Clearly what constituted ‘delight’ in the Middle Ages diverges somewhat from modern-day mores so, suitably intrigued, we packed our bags and embarked on the perilous Dartford Crossing from Essex to Kent. Would we have a ‘knight’ to to remember or a ‘knightmare’? Read on to find out… …
