Are you ready for the return of Vikings? The series is back for a much-anticipated second season on the History Channel on February 27, 2014 at 10pm ET/PT, and the network’s just put out three brand new photos from the upcoming 10-episode season.

The new pictures feature Travis Fimmel as Ragnar, Katheryn Winnick as Lagertha, and Alyssa Sutherland as Princess Aslaug.

Details on Vikings Season Two:

The hit scripted drama series centers on Ragnar (Travis Fimmel), a restless young warrior and family man who longs to find and conquer new lands across the sea and claim the spoils as his own. Now he is an Earl, allied with King Horrik (Donal Logue). With more power than ever before, his desire to sail west and explore new kingdoms remains unquenchable.

Yet there’s a heavy price to pay for Ragnar’s ascent to greatness. Season two brings crises of faith, of power, of relationships. Brothers rise up against one another. Loyalties shift from friend to foe, and unlikely alliances are formed in the name of supremacy. Plots are hatched, scores are settled, blood is spilled…all under the watchful eyes of the gods.

New to the cast of Vikings are Alexander Ludwig (The Hunger Games) as Bjorn, the intelligent and bold warrior son of Ragnar Lothbrok, and Linus Roache (Law & Order) as Ecbert, King of Wessex, a man of strength, knowledge and undisguised ambition. They join Travis Fimmel as Ragnar Lothbrok; Katheryn Winnick as Lagertha, a fierce shield maiden and Ragnar’s wife; Clive Standen as Rollo, Ragnar’s impulsive, wild, care-free brother; George Blagden as Athelstan, a young and not-so-innocent Monk; Jessalyn Gilsig as Siggy, beautiful wife of the late Earl Haraldson; Donal Logue as King Horrik, who desires to make the increasingly famous Earl Ragnar an ally and supporter; Gustaf Skarsgard, a ship builder who designs the new generation of Vikings ships; and Alyssa Sutherland as Princess Aslaug, Ragnar’s new love interest.

Justin Bieber Arrested for DUI in Miami Beach

Pop star Justin Bieber’s following up his alleged eye-throwing incident with an arrest for driving under the influence, resisting arrest (without violence), and driving with an expired drivers license. Bieber was driving a yellow Lamborghini that was involved in a drag race on a residential street (the police report indicates he was traveling between 55-60 mph in a 30 mph zone) when a Miami Beach officer pulled him over. The officer immediately smelled alcohol and noticed Bieber had bloodshot eyes and a “stupor look on his face.”
 
The officer instructed Bieber to get out of his car and Bieber responded by asking, “Why the f**k are you doing this?” Because Bieber kept putting his hands in his pockets after he was instructed not to, the officer told the 19-year-old pop singer to turn around and put his hands on his vehicle. According to the police report, Bieber replied, “What the f**k did I do? Why did you stop me?”
 
Bieber was eventually arrested for continuing to not do as instructed. After being given a test at the station, it was determined Bieber was impaired. He also admitted to drinking, smoking pot, and taking prescription medication.

Will Arnett’s going to be reuniting with his Arrested Development dad Jeffrey Tambor for an episode of CBS’ hit comedy series, The Millers. The Millers is one of the 2013-2014 primetime season’s most successful new shows, with Arnett playing the son of Beau Bridges and Margo Martindale.

The show airs on Thursdays at 8:30pm ET/PT and is, according to the network, the #1 new comedy of the season.

So, who will Tambor play? CBS offered this description: “In the episode, Nathan (Arnett) and Ray (J.B. Smoove) pitch their station owner, Ed Dolan (Tambor), a Saturday morning kids program inspired by Tom’s (Bridges) imagination.”

The Plot: The Millers stars Will Arnett as Nathan Miller, a recently divorced local roving news reporter looking forward to living the singles’ life until his parents’ marital problems unexpectedly derail his plans. After Nathan finally breaks the news of his divorce to his parents, Carol (Martindale) and Tom (Bridges), his father is inspired to follow suit and stuns the family when he leaves his wife of 43 years. Already in shock, Nathan is even more aghast when his meddlesome mom decides to move in with him.

Meanwhile, his absent-minded dad imposes upon Nathan’s sister, Debbie, her husband Adam and their daughter Mykayla (Eve Moon). Nathan’s best friend and news cameraman, Ray (Smoove), was excited to be Nathan’s wingman in the dating scene, but Carol manages to even cramp his style. Now, as Nathan and his sister settle in with their truly impossible parents, they both wonder just how long the aggravating adjustment period is going to last.

Lucy Fry and Zoey Deutch Introduce Another ‘Vampire Academy’ Trailer

Fans of the Vampire Academy books by Richelle Mead should be happy to know we get to hear Dimitri Belikov (played by Danila Kozlovsky) actually say a few words in this new trailer. There’s also a bit more of Christian Ozera (played by Dominic Sherwood), a bit more action, and a few new scenes of Rose (Zoey Deutch) and Lissa (Lucy Fry) in this new trailer introduced by Fry and Deutch.

Vampire Academy was directed by Mark Waters and will open in theaters on February 7, 2014.

The Plot:

Vampire Academy tells the legend of Rose Hathaway and Lissa Dragomir, two 17-year-old girls who attend a hidden boarding school for Moroi (mortal, peaceful Vampires) and Dhampirs (half-vampire/half-human guardians). Rose, a rebellious Guardian-in-training and her best friend, Lissa – a royal vampire Princess – have been on the run when they are captured and returned to St. Vladamirs Academy, the very place where they believe their lives may be in most jeopardy.

Thrust back into the perils of Moroi Society and high school, Lissa struggles to reclaim her status while Rose trains with her mentor and love-interest, Dimitri, to guarantee her place as Lissa’s guardian. Rose will sacrifice everything to protect Lissa from those who intend to exploit her from within the Academy walls and the Strigoi (immortal, evil vampires) who hunt her kind from outside its sanctuary.

At the age of 92, Betty White is showing no signs of slowing down, and now Lifetime’s just announced White’s back once again leading a gaggle of elderly pranksters as they try to pull one over on young marks in a new season of Betty White’s Off Their Rockers. The new 20-episode season will kick off on February 28, 2014, with back-to-back episodes at 9pm and 9:30pm ET/PT.

The series is executive produced by Chris Coelen, Lee Hupfield, Emma Conway, Betty White, Tim Van Aelst, Eli Lehrer, Mary Donahue, and Paul Hardy.

The Plot: With two Emmy nominations for her role as the host of the series, White and her posse have tricked, cajoled and used their age to get more than a few laughs at the expense of the American public. It’s the elderly like no one has seen them before – brash, shameless and completely “off their rockers.” This season of Betty White’s Off Their Rockers finds the mischievous crew up to their old tricks, as well as some new bits as they prey on younger, unsuspecting marks.

The lyrics will appear on screen with a “magical bouncing snowflake” helping audiences keep up with the song.
