Living in the Platinum Age of Peak TV means that not only is there a ton of television to watch, there’s a lot of news to go along with it. We here at Collider are only human, and there are only so many hours in the day; so from now on, each week we’ll be rounding up a batch of stories that might have missed your attention (and some that, at the time, missed ours), from updates on reboots to new featurettes to casting, and much more.

Watch Danny McBride’s Foul ‘Vice Principals’ Blooper Reel
To be frank, I feel like there was a lot more to be done with this blooper reel for the first season ofVice Principals, but I did like a little insight into what makes Danny McBride break.

I will sit and watch actors break over and over again, but it helps if I know what the trigger is. Regardless, this foul-mouthed reel gives us a few different versions of some of the jokes and remarks that made it onto the show, and which ones caught the actors off-guard.

In any case,Fire Walk with Mehas always had a questionable relationship to the series among fans. Though it tells the story of the final week of Laura Palmer’s life (and featurea lotof Bob), it’s … well, it’s weird (weirder than mostTwin Peaksweirdness, anyway).
Watch: Aaron Paul Returns to ‘The Price Is Right’
Seventeen years later, he has been offered his shot at redemption by James Corden and theLate Late Show. The two attempt to break into the studio to right the wrong, are caught by Drew Carey, and things continue from there as Paul recreates his experience (alongside a cutout and a mop). However, things still don’t go quite as he hoped they might …

I liked the first few episodes of the hyper-violent and stylizedInto the Badlands’ first season, but it soon became a casualty of Peak TV for me. Still, images like these newly released action portraits are re-upping my interest in the series, as we seeDaniel Wu,Emily Beechem,Stephen Lang,Nick Frost(!) and others gearing up to fight. Check out the new images below.
Here’s the official synopsis forInto the BadlandsSeason 2:

While M.K. struggles to control his powers, Sunny is determined to fight his way back into the Badlands to find his family or die trying. On their journey, Clipper and Colt are assisted by mysterious, new allies whose motivations may be anything but pure. Meanwhile, The Widow (Emily Beecham) continues to consolidate power against the other Barons, while a dark and mysterious threat prepares to exact revenge on them all. Alliances are struck, friendships betrayed, and by season’s end, Sunny and M.K.’s lives will be forever altered with devastating consequences.
