'SNL' Introduces An Eighth 'Game of Thrones' Kingdom

I can't possibly be the first person to say that last night’s Season 5 premiere of Game of Thrones was disappointingly underwhelming. In case you were feeling equally unsatisfied, here’s an SNL parody introducing an eighth kingdom of Westeros—South Centros—strangely similar to South Central Los Angeles from John Singleton’s 1991 film Boyz n the Hood.

In South Centros, people die for "no damn reason" and Ice Cube (played by Kenan Thompson) is vying for the Iron Throne while decked out in Jon Snow-like attire. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, the Kingslayer himself, also makes a cameo with a message for the haters.

Chloe Sevigny Checks Into ‘American Horror Story: Hotel’

Ryan Murphy tweeted on Tuesday that American Horror Story veteran and Jennifer Lawrence-hater Chloe Sevigny, who appeared in the second season, “Asylum,” will be returning to American Horror Story: Hotel as a series regular. 

Very excited to announce that Chloe Sevigny returns to the AHS family as a series regular on "AHS: Hotel."

— Ryan Murphy (@MrRPMurphy) March 24, 2015

Sevigny recurred in the second season of AHS as Shelley, a patient at Briarcliff who was experimented on by Dr. Arden (James Cromwell). Currently, other “Hotel” guests include Lady Gaga, Matt Bomer, Wes Bentley, and Cheyenne Jackson. Series favorite Jessica Lange revealed she would not be returning to the fold for the fifth season.

"Yes, I'm done," Lange told the audience at PaleyFest. "We've had a great run here. I have absolutely loved doing these four characters that I've had the opportunity to play. In all the madness, I've loved the writers, my actors, Ryan and the whole, I mean, insanity of it, shooting here, shooting in New Orleans, the stories, everything."

Thus far, nothing more is known about the new season.

American Horror Story returns in October on FX.
