We're only a couple weeks out from the end of the year, but there's still plenty of news to be learned and shared in 2024. As proof, check out WiC Weekly, where we catalog the biggest and best stories to land on WinterIsComing.net over the past seven days.
This Sunday, let's start with our look back at the best damn vampire sitcom to ever air on TV (technically there's still one episode to go but we think the vampires would appreciate an early funeral):
