After reaching a record-breaking $3.5M+ funding since its launch on Kickstarter, making it the platform’s biggest movie launch day of all time, Felicia Day’s The Guild: Ren Faire’d has added two new cast members to its minstrel players. Announced today, Misha Collins (Supernatural, Gotham Knights, The Boys) is officially joining the fold as is Nathan Fillion (Firefly, The Rookie, Superman), as revealed earlier this week.

“I’m thrilled to report that thanks to our incredible community, we’ve officially met Misha’s *cough* ‘demands,’ and he’s joining The Guild: Ren Faire’d alongside our dear friend Nathan Fillion,” said Felicia Day, creator of The Guild. “I’m so grateful and humbled by the response of our fans, and I can’t wait to give them the reunion movie they deserve, powered by an amazing cast. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Since its launch on July 20, the campaign has received support from more than 22,000 backers, surpassing its original goal by 133.3%. This achievement marks a major milestone for independently produced entertainment, ensuring the original “Knights of Good” return for a new, blockbuster-style feature-length adventure ahead of The Guild’s 20th anniversary in 2027.

Created, written by, and starring Day, The Guild: Ren Faire’d will reunite Codex (Felicia Day), Zaboo (Sandeep Parikh), Vork (Jeff Lewis), Tink (Amy Okuda), Clara (Robin Thorsen), and Bladezz (Vincent Caso), continuing their story in the same independent, community-driven spirit that made the original series a defining part of online fandom and geek culture.

The Guild premiered on July 27, 2007, and followed the members of an online gaming guild whose virtual adventures frequently collided with their real lives. Supported in part by fan contributions, the series ran for six seasons and 70 episodes, plus three music videos, and generated more than 300 million lifetime views across platforms. Across its run, The Guild earned six Streamy Awards and four International Academy of Web Television Awards, appeared on Rolling Stone’s list of “The Net’s Best Serial Shows,” and was recognized by the Smithsonian Institution, which accessioned Codex’s costume into its digital culture collection.

Today, in San Diego Comic-Con’s iconic Hall H, over 6,500 fans were transported back to Middle-earth as Prime Video showcased the highly anticipated third season of the epic fantasy series, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay were joined by several of the show’s cast for a fun and insightful conversation moderated by High King Gil-galad himself, series star Benjamin Walker. The panel not only debuted a thrilling new teaser trailer, but revealed some exciting highlights from the new season, and a few surprises as well!

Cast members Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Owain Arthur, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Charlie Vickers, Daniel Weyman, and Season Three newcomer Jamie Campbell Bower, all participated in the panel, which was jam-packed with exclusive news and riveting visual elements, including:

A brand-new teaser trailer unveiled the darker tone and some epic moments from Season Three, as Sauron’s quest to forge the One Ring is fully underway, and his goal to control all of Middle-earth threatens every one of its realms, causing new, and sometimes uneasy alliances to be formed to try and stop him.

There were several exciting Season Three character reveals for previously announced actors throughout the panel. They join two other characters that were revealed earlier this week – Jamie Campbell Bower (Stranger Things) as Galadriel’s long-lost husband, “Celeborn,” and Zubin Varla (Andor) who plays “Khamûl the Easterling,” of Rhûn. The new reveals during the panel were:
- Eddie Marsan (Happy-Go-Lucky) portraying King Durin IV’s older brother, “Thrain”
- Andrew Richardson (Guys & Dolls) playing Elendil’s younger son and Isildur’s brother, “Anarion”
- Adam Young (Don’t Breathe 2) as “Marnûkh,” a mysterious Orc who may not be what he seems

The Balrog Speaks! And it’s Simon Pegg! A special in-room only featurette titled “Bringing Season Three’s Creatures to Life” showed highlights of several creatures that will be seen this season, including Fell-beasts, the war elephants known as Mûmakil, Orcs, and the return of the fiery Balrog, who for the first time ever will speak – and that voice is revealed to be none other than acclaimed actor Simon Pegg (The Cornetto Trilogy, Mission Impossible, Star Trek)!

In addition, The Rings of Power’s Hall H panel was interrupted midway by a surprise appearance of four menacing Nazgnagôl in full armor, who were awaiting Sauron’s command. Introduced this season, these entities are ring-servants of Sauron and are the earlier Second Age incarnation of the Nazgûl, also known as Ringwraiths, of the Third Age.

The first four episodes of Season Three of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will premiere on November 11, 2026. Episodes 305 & 306 will be available to stream on November 18th, and the final two episodes of the season will be released on November 25th.

In Season Three, Middle-earth is at war. Five years have passed since the fall of Eregion. Sauron’s armies have marched across the whole of the world, conquering all in their path. Only a few isolated pockets stand between the Dark Lord and total victory – Khazad-dûm, where the Dwarves are now sealed deep within their mountain halls, and the elven realms of Lindon and Rivendell, which are protected by their Three Rings. But deep in the land of Mordor, in his newly completed tower of Barad-dûr, the Dark Lord toils day and night, obsessed with harnessing a power that will bring the last of his enemies to their knees: One Ring to rule them all... Now, all the free peoples of Middle-earth – Dwarves, Elves, Men, and Wizards alike – must find a way to come together, in a race against time to prevent Sauron from achieving his goal of utter domination of all life…

The third season of The Rings of Power is produced by showrunners and executive producers J.D. Payne & Patrick McKay. They are joined by executive producers Lindsey Weber, Justin Doble, Kate Hazell, and executive producer-director Charlotte Brändström. Matthew Penry-Davey is producer and Ally O’Leary, Tim Keene, and Andrew Lee are co-producers.

The Rings of Power brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. The series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains to the majestic forests of the elf capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the farthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is one of the highest performing and most-viewed titles ever on Prime Video, with a broad, highly engaged, global fan base. Critics have praised the series for its epic scope and production values, and Seasons One and Two are Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Through their respective 91 day post premiere launch windows and ranked by viewers, Season One remains the biggest TV series premiere in the history of Prime Video, and Season Two is among the Top 5 most watched returning seasons ever. Season Two debuted as the #1 Original Series on Nielsen’s Streaming Top 10 Chart and remained in the top 4 throughout its entire run. The globally successful and award-winning series, which has attracted over 185 million viewers worldwide, also continues to be one of Amazon’s strongest drivers for new Prime membership sign-ups.

All sixteen episodes of the first two seasons are available to stream exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories in multiple languages.

News, Geek News, Windows PC News

Slitherine Next event delivered exciting news for fans of the world’s most brutal fantasy football league. Warhammer Blood Bowl, the fully updated video game based on the legendary Warhammer tabletop board game, is coming to PC, Xbox, and PlayStation next fall.

Orcs, Elves, Dwarfs, Skaven, Chaos, and the other iconic teams will once again clash on the pitch, delivering bone-crunching tackles, spectacular touchdowns, and the unpredictable mayhem that has made Blood Bowl one of the most beloved tabletop games of all time.

Built upon the solid foundations of Blood Bowl 3, Warhammer Blood Bowl refines, improves, and expands every aspect of the experience. Veteran developer Cyanide, the long-standing studio behind the franchise, has been working tirelessly to deliver the most authentic and faithful digital adaptation ever created, capturing everything fans love about the tabletop game while making it more accessible, smoother, and more enjoyable than ever before.

The game will also adopt the latest official tabletop ruleset, updated through September 2025 (also known as Third Season Edition), ensuring the most up-to-date Blood Bowl experience available.

The roster is expanding as well. Fan-favorite teams, including the long-awaited Bretonnians and Khemri Tomb Kings, will finally join the action alongside the existing factions, giving coaches even more ways to dominate the pitch.

“At Slitherine, we’re strategy gamers first and foremost, and Blood Bowl has always been one of our favorite tabletop games,” said Marco Alessandro Minoli, Director of Publishing at Slitherine. “We’re incredibly proud to welcome this iconic franchise into our portfolio and to be working alongside the talented team at Cyanide. Our goal with Warhammer Blood Bowl is simple: we want this to become the definitive Blood Bowl videogame—not just at launch, but for years to come. Our vision is to support and expand it over time, turning it into a living, constantly evolving experience, just as we’ve successfully done with other Warhammer titles such as Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector and Warhammer 40,000: Gladius.”

Current Blood Bowl 3 players have even more reasons to celebrate. Everyone who owns Blood Bowl 3 on PC and consoles will receive Warhammer Blood Bowl as a free upgrade, keeping all previously purchased teams and cosmetics.

And the wait won’t be long to get your hands on the game. A playable demo will arrive at the end of the summer for PC, giving players their first opportunity to experience the new gameplay improvements and the highly requested Rumble Mode—a fast-paced, dynamic 7-player format designed for quicker, action-packed matches without sacrificing the tactical depth that defines Blood Bowl.

Whether you’re a veteran coach or stepping onto the pitch for the first time, one thing is certain: the greatest fantasy football spectacle is ready to kick off once again.

Sharpen your spikes. Polish your armor. The crowd is roaring.
