Welcome to Hypable.com: a new approach to online entertainment news. We pride ourselves on delivering the most dedicated and in-depth coverage possible across all of the fandoms we cover. Why? Because every Hypable writer only writes about fandoms they are personally a fan of.
We promise to share every story we find so you don’t miss a thing. What’s more, you will notice that all of our news stories are written with genuine passion; we’re just as excited to share the news as you are to read it!
At Hypable, we firmly believe that entertainment news avenues should cater for all types of fans, and let THEM decide what they want and don’t want to read. We don’t buy into that philosophy of only posting the big stories! Hardcore fans want to know all the latest news of their favorite movie, tv show, book series and so on, regardless of how big or mainstream it is. And they want it as quickly as possible!
To help us fully realize this mission statement, we have a number of cool features to make sure you get the news you want, when you want it. These include:
my feed
The My Feed tool allows you to customize Hypable to only show you what YOU want. Not a fan of Twilight or Glee? No problem! My Feed lets you simply switch off the fandoms you don’t care about.
- A fully-personlized news feed
- Activate only the fandoms you care about
- Only requires you to register (for free) with Hypable to activate

columns & podcasts
Hypable doesn’t just bring you the news. We also offer a wealth of other content in the form of column articles and our own numerous exclusive fandom podcasts.
Our columns give you the true insight into the minds of our writers and what they are feeling about a particular topic at the moment. Similarly, our podcasts focus on some of the biggest fandoms around including Harry Potter, Twilight, Glee and The Hunger Games!
