‘Dead to Me’, a dark dramedy that premiered on Netflix on May 3, explores the themes of female friendship and grief in its first season. The series is interspersed with pleasant moments and mystery and strikes a perfect balance between the two. The cast features Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini as friends Jen and Judy, who meet at a grief counseling group.

James Marsden plays Steve, Judy’s ex-fiance who is also an opportunist and a money launderer. Steve is sly, cunning and manipulative and has a lot of back-and-forth with the female leads of the show.

Speaking about his role on the show in an exclusive interview with MEA WorldWide, Marsden said that he saw Steve as a bad guy — “a little bit” — but he doesn’t think Steve would see himself in the same light — “like most bad guys”.

Westworld is coming back tomorrow but James Marsden, who plays Teddy in the series, is still questioning one thing: why hasn’t his character had a sex scene yet?

HBO is known for not shying away from nudity and racy sex scenes since it’s not constricted by strict FCC regulations. But Westworld, which has had some surprising twists in addition to those aforementioned risqué sex scenes, has not given Teddy one so far.

After trading non-descriptive spoilers about the show on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the two talked about the lack of sex scenes for Teddy.

The Westworld fun won’t stop taking over SXSW. First, there was that immersive experience, then there was the reveal of Shogun World at the panel, and now, series stars Evan Rachel Wood and James Marsden are kicking off the filming for the second season of Carpool Karaoke.

The official Twitter account of the popular Apple Music program sent out a video featuring the actors from the HBO drama getting ready to film a driving-and-singing segment around Austin. The two can be seen attempting to keep cool in the warm Texas weather while doing their “red leather, yellow leather” vocal warm-ups in preparation for their stellar in-car performance.

This isn’t the first time Carpool Karaoke has visited SXSW. Last year’s Austin-based confab had Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner driving around the city with an appropriate Game of Thrones-inspired karaoke segment, which immediately became one of their popular episodes.
