Fans of the series already have that date close to heart, and on Saturday, the U.K. network tossed out some even greater news. Although the order has been expected, BBC officially announced Doctor Who will also be returning for an eighth season on the network.

So it wasn't entirely surprising that Hader appeared as his beloved, chatty character Stefon for one last visit to "Weekend Update." But he did turn the appearance into a big celebration, which included a wedding and a dramatic attempt to stop it.

Right now, she has several programs at the network, including Grey’s Anatomy, a show that is still a ratings bringer, and a newer drama, Scandal, which did so well at midseason last year that the show earned a full episode count this time around. If you are a fan of both shows, or just want to give them a shot, you’ll be able to do so when Grey’s Anatomy: The Complete Ninth Season and Scandal: The Complete Second Season will hit DVD later this year.

We also hear that Milioti’s turn as a series regular will be the first time any character on the show outside of the core 5 (Cobie Smoulders, Josh Radnor, Alyson Hannigan, Jason Segel, and Neil Patrick Harris) will be a regular. Fri, 17 May 2013 18:02:43 -0600 http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Once-Time-Season-2-Hit-Blu-ray-DVD-August-55812.html http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Once-Time-Season-2-Hit-Blu-ray-DVD-August-55812.html ABC’s Once Upon a Time wrapped up its second season only recently, airing this year's finale just last Sunday. Nonetheless, ABC Studios has already announced the show’s upcoming Blu-ray and DVD release, which will come with plenty of extras. Fans who are excited to purchase the second season of ABC’s hit drama will still have a while to wait before the release: Once Upon A Time: The Complete Second Season won’t hit Blu-ray or DVD until August 13. Fri, 17 May 2013 17:35:37 -0600 http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Christina-Aguilera-Cee-Lo-Green-Return-Voice-Season-5-55811.html http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Christina-Aguilera-Cee-Lo-Green-Return-Voice-Season-5-55811.html While American Idol may be looking at a complete judges-table overhaul, The Voice is going back to its original judges line-up for its upcoming fifth season this fall. Where does that leave Shakira and Usher? They'll be back for Season 6. Host Carson Daly has been confirmed to resume his duties for both of the upcoming seasons of the NBC singing competition.

On Friday, Amazon announced Betas and Alpha House have earned pick ups, while the high profile project Zombieland and Browsers will not be moving forward. Fri, 17 May 2013 14:34:15 -0600 http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Catch-Sneak-Peek-Bates-Motel-Finale-Monday-Episode-55805.html http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Catch-Sneak-Peek-Bates-Motel-Finale-Monday-Episode-55805.html Bates Motel may have only put together 10 episodes in Season 1, but a lot has gone on during the AandE drama, which has introduced murders, pot plots, love triangles, and plenty of family hatred. The freshman drama is gearing up for an epic Season 1 finale on Monday that will shake things up in the Bates family universe. But first, Norma and Norman have to fight over some stupid socks. Fri, 17 May 2013 13:58:46 -0600 http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Dexter-Season-8-Gets-Full-Trailer-An-Ominous-Poster-55803.html http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Dexter-Season-8-Gets-Full-Trailer-An-Ominous-Poster-55803.html Showtime has released the official trailer for the eighth and final season of Dexter today. It gives us our biggest look at the upcoming season yet. And it's at this point that you want to stop reading if you aren't caught up on the series! And considering the Showtime drama is going on its last season, you might want to get caught up before the series returns next month. Fri, 17 May 2013 12:32:58 -0600 http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Red-Widow-Season-1-Hit-DVD-Later-Month-55800.html http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Red-Widow-Season-1-Hit-DVD-Later-Month-55800.html Red Widow hit ABC’s schedule in March and left it almost as quietly as it came in earlier this month. Red Widow was never the huge ratings bringer I’m sure that ABC hoped it would be and thus it was no surprise when the network officially cancelled the series, but if you missed it in its first run, ABC Studios is bringing Red Widow: The Complete First Season to DVD on May 28. Fri, 17 May 2013 10:55:39 -0600 http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Warehouse-13-Renewed-Fifth-Final-Season-55793.html http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Warehouse-13-Renewed-Fifth-Final-Season-55793.html Warehouse 13 has been slowly but steadily slipping in the ratings since its big, 3.5 million viewer debut in 2009. The Syfy series, which follows secret service agents retrieving supernatural artifacts, is now in its fourth season at the network and on Friday Syfy announced the show would return for a fifth season. While that’s good news, it could be better news. Fri, 17 May 2013 09:52:00 -0600 http://www.cinemablend.com/television/American-Idol-Season-12-Finale-Ratings-Drop-Drastically-From-Last-Year-55791.html http://www.cinemablend.com/television/American-Idol-Season-12-Finale-Ratings-Drop-Drastically-From-Last-Year-55791.html It was a big night for Candice Glover on American Idol. The singer won the grand prize in the closer of Idol's twelfth season, beating out fellow female singer Kree Harrison, who took the runner-up prize. While it was a good night for Glover, it was not a good night for Idol. The season finale, which ran over two hours, earned a series low for finale viewers. In fact, the finale took in less than half the number of viewers it earned for its finale two years ago. Fri, 17 May 2013 09:21:34 -0600 http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Watch-Office-Series-Finale-Full-Episode-Here-55789.html http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Watch-Office-Series-Finale-Full-Episode-Here-55789.html NBC aired the final episode of The Office last night, closing out the Dunder Mifflin saga for once and for all. While we're told we'll need to wait a bit longer to hear the ratings results for the episode, which ran an extra fifteen minutes over the originally planned hour, NBC wasted no time getting the episode posted online for those who missed it or want to watch it over and over again. Fri, 17 May 2013 09:53:52 -0600 http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Did-Office-Really-Earn-Its-Sentimental-Happy-Ending-55788.html http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Did-Office-Really-Earn-Its-Sentimental-Happy-Ending-55788.html The Office was always about the difference between the life you wanted and the life you actually had, and peeking into that gap even when the characters couldn't do it themselves . All these characters deserved the happy endings they got… but not getting what you deserve can be a more interesting, and more true, way to go Fri, 17 May 2013 08:42:10 -0600 http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Office-Finale-Character-Updates-Where-They-Now-55784.html http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Office-Finale-Character-Updates-Where-They-Now-55784.html Like any great series, the heart of The Office was in its characters. Sure, we've waited years to learn the full story behind the documentary, and the workplace humor certainly struck a chord for anyone who's ever worked in an office. But at its core, The Office has always been about its characters and the finale that aired last night did a great job of giving us an update on many of them.
