According to Variety, Prime Video may no longer work with the Top Gear presenter after he made hateful comments about Meghan Markle in a column in The Sun. The company may still carry out seasons of The Grand Tour and Clarkson’s Farm that have already been ordered, however.
The big premiere this week is The Last of Us on HBO on Sunday, an adaptation of the beloved post-apocalyptic game, which always felt a bit like a prestige TV show.

Rolling Stone’s Alan Sepinwall sat down with the show’s two creators and a whole cast of other characters, including Benjamin Bratt and Chloë Sevigny, to talk about the murder mystery show collaboration and the two big brains behind it. If Poker Face is as wild as this profile it’s going to be great.
Hello my fellow geriatric millennials (and everyone else), remember Willow? The movie starring Warwick Davies and Val Kilmer got a TV show sequel, also called Willow, and its first season is concluding today on Disney Plus. With snappy, if modern, dialogue, an incredible wealth of young acting talent, and a myriad of terrifying and/or goofy monsters, this adventure story has been a blast.
