HBO’s Veep is returning for season two, debuting the first of 10 brand new episodes on April 14, 2013 at 10pm. Emmy Award-winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus leads the cast of the critically acclaimed comedy series created by Armando Iannucci and co-starring Tony Hale, Anna Chlumsky, Reid Scott, Matt Walsh, and Timothy C. Simons.
 
And as the second season premiere approaches, HBO has revealed the details for season two and an April 2013 episode guide.
 
The Plot:
 
With midterm elections looming, Vice President Selina Meyer is scoring higher ratings than the president in several popularity polls, which she hopes will boost her influence and help her curry favor with the chief executive. But as she knows all too well, even the most banal action can set off a ripple effect that has unexpected, far-reaching – and often disastrous – consequences.
 
Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays Selina Meyer who becomes vice president, only to discover the job is nothing like she expected, but everything she was warned about.
 
Veep follows the whirlwind day-to-day existence of Vice President Meyer as she puts out political fires, juggles a busy public schedule and demanding private life, and defends the president’s interests, even as she tries to improve her dysfunctional relationship with the chief executive.

Ender's Game Theatrical Poster

Summit Entertainment’s unveiled this new teaser poster for their sci-fi action film, Ender’s Game, directed by Gavin Hood. Coming to theaters on November 1, 2013, Ender’s Game stars Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld, Ben Kingsley, Viola Davis, Abigail Breslin, and Harrison Ford.

The Plot:

In the near future, a hostile alien race called the Formics have attacked Earth. If not for the legendary heroics of International Fleet Commander Mazer Rackham (Kingsley), all would have been lost. In preparation for the next attack, the highly esteemed Colonel Hyrum Graff (Ford) and the International Military are training only the best young minds to find the future Mazer.

Ender Wiggin (Butterfield), a shy but strategically brilliant boy, is recruited to join the elite. Arriving at Battle School, Ender quickly and easily masters increasingly difficult challenges and simulations, distinguishing himself and winning respect amongst his peers.

Ender is soon ordained by Graff as the military’s next great hope, resulting in his promotion to Command School. Once there, he’s trained by Mazer Rackham himself to lead his fellow soldiers into an epic battle that will determine the future of Earth and save the human race.

The Voice coaches came together to kick off season four of the popular singing competition show with a performance of The Beatles’ “Come Together.” Adam Levine and Blake Shelton returned to the revolving chairs as coaches for the fourth season in a row, while Usher and Shakira joined the cast of the series with the season four debut on March 25, 2013.

Usher and Shakira take over chairs vacated by Christina Aguilera and CeeLo Green who are taking a break from the series to concentrate on their music.

And while NBC as a network has had a horrible 2012-2013 ratings-wise, The Voice returned to impressive numbers. The change-up in coaches didn’t adversely affect the audience numbers, with the March 25th premiere actually up 12% over season three’s fall premiere. According to the preliminary estimates, 13.36 million viewers tuned in to watch the two-hour season premiere.
