Hunting Season
Those Winchesters just can’t catch a break. If it isn’t the apocalypse it’s their own allies turning all evil and threatening to enslave the world, which is exactly the predicament the brothers find themselves in at the start of Supernatural season seven . We chat to showrunner Sera Gamble and stars Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins in search of new season secrets.
Hell On Earth
Let’s face it, the first Ghost Rider was (flaming) pants. But that’s alright because the sequel/reboot Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance all but ignores what came before. Nic Cage is back, of course, but bonkers Crank duo Neveldine and Taylor have been given the keys to the hell cycle, and it’s that delightful duo who tell us what to expect when it hits cinemas in February.

It’s all change in Honolulu Heights, with Aidan Turner and Russell Tovey making way for new blood Damien Molony (vampire Hal) and Michael Socha (werewolf Tom). We chat to the pair direct from the set of Being Human series four and Toby Whithouse gives us an exclusive episode-by-episode preview.
