Doctor Who Casts Neil Patrick Harris: First Look Image Released

Doctor Who casts Neil Patrick Harris in an undisclosed role for their 60th anniversary and reveals a first look image of his character. Next year the long-running sci-fi series will celebrate its 60th anniversary, and the BBC has some big plans to mark the occasion. This anniversary is also coinciding with a regeneration between Doctors as Jodie Whittaker is set to leave the role of the 13th Doctor in her next special and Ncuti Gatwa will take over as the 14th Doctor.

While the current Doctor is changing faces, a former Doctor and his companion are also set to appear for the 60th anniversary. David Tennant and Catherine Tate are both set to return to Doctor Who, though it's still unclear if they're playing the same versions of the 10th Doctor and Donna Noble. Doctor Who has also cast Yasmin Finney as a new version of Rose for the 60th anniversary, raising even more questions about what's actually going on with this multi-Doctor adventure. Now, yet another name is joining Doctor Who to film some anniversary scenes.

Neil Patrick Harris is joining the cast of Doctor Who for the 60th anniversary in an as-of-yet undisclosed role. According to the BBC, Harris is joining the series to film "scenes set to air in 2023 as part of the show's 60th anniversary." Few other details were shared about his character at this time, but a first look image has been released (below) and oncoming showrunner Russell T. Davies had this to say of Harris' casting:

"It’s my huge honour to open our studio doors for the mighty Neil Patrick Harris… but who, why, what is he playing? You’ll just have to wait. But I promise you, the stuff we’re shooting now is off the scale. Doctor beware!"

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms,  Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of  iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York.

Blasphemous: Wounds of Eventide - Sierpes Boss Guide

Blasphemous: Wounds of Eventide introduces the giant snake boss Sierpes, whose fight leans more heavily towards the style of Dark Souls than other bosses in the game. Sierpes can be found on the far top left of one of the DLC's new areas, Mourning and Havoc. The closest Prie Dieu is located down a releasable ladder from the boss area entrance. Players should be careful not to take damage from the lightning lines that crisscross the ladder before entering the area. Sierpes possesses one of the golden eyes of an exiled member of the Holy Guardian Visages. To achieve the true ending, the player must retrieve one eye from Sierpes and the other from Isidora, Voice of the Dead. The pair were featured in the Wounds of Eventide trailer that confirmed a sequel coming in 2023.
