This just in- it would appear HBO Max’s cancelled series “Minx” has been saved by STARZ! “I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining the Starz family, and for the opportunity to introduce ‘Minx’ to a brand new audience,” series creator/showrunner/EP Ellen Rapoport said. “We’ve found the perfect home. Our writers, cast and crew have created something truly special in season 2, and I can’t wait for everyone to see it.” “We have always felt this show would be a perfect fit for our brand with our dedication to narratives by, about, and for women,” Jeffrey Hirsch, President and CEO for STARZ, said. “Starz…

We are delighted to share the first tease of the upcoming Spotify exclusive, “Harley Quinn and The Joker: Sound Mind.” The podcast features Christina Ricci as Harley Quinn, Billy Magnussen as The Joker, and Justin Hartley as Bruce Wayne.

This just in- Universal Studios’ Parks & Resorts has announced plans for a brand new theme park. The location is a little surprising, honestly. Frisco, Texas will reportedly be the home of a “new concept” from the entertainment giant, looking to cater to “families with young children.”As Universal says,”The new park concept, set in a lush green landscape and featuring immersive themed lands, celebrates Universal’s iconic brand of entertainment, humor, and innovation and brings to life its beloved characters and stories in ways that will wow even the youngest theme park goers.” We’ll let you know what we find out.

When Amazon Prime Video confirmed the long rumor of a live-action “God of War” series, one question immediately leapt to mind. Who would play Kratos? The first (and some would argue ONLY choice) is Chris Judge, who has been voicing the character since 2018’s franchise relaunch from Santa Monica Studio.He’s got the background- action and adventure through “Stargate SG-1” (and other “Stargate” series) made him a genre staple. He’s got the imposing height, and most importantly, the VOICE. But another actor has been mentioned recently as a good fit- Dave Bautista. The WWE star-turned serious actor has recently been searching…

Last night, the Golden Globe Awards returned in a big way. Not only was the troubled ceremony back to in-person, but the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) did make some strides to make changes. If you’ll recall, the Globes came under fire for not having a single Black journalist in their organization. Nor were they known for presenting or even nominating persons of color in their categories. While it’s still a long road to grace, the 2023 Golden Globes was a good first step. It also kicked off Awards Season in a big way. This morning, the 2023 SAG (Screen…

As a HUGE fan of the late great Anne Rice and her works, I am beyond disappointed in AMC’s newest adaptation series, “The Mayfair Witches.” Based on Rice’s Mayfair trilogy (which later tied into the Vampire Chronicles), the show LOOSELY follows main character Rowan Mayfair (Alexandra Daddario) and the family ghost, Lasher (Jack Huston). From there, all pretense at following the source material goes away. I’m going to apologize in advance for being so angry in this review, but I feel the showrunners/writers owe ME an apology for what I had to sit through. Just go read the books. You’ll…

With a new film 3 months from theaters, Paramount seems pretty excited about long-standing RPG “Dungeons & Dragons.” We say this because they’ve just ordered 8 episodes of a live-action series! “Red Notice” helmer Rawson Marshall Thurber will write and direct.Pretty much nothing is known about the series. We do know it’ll be a joint effort between Paramount Pictures and eOne. We know it’ll be live-action, and will have a home at Paramount+. “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” stars Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, and Hugh Grant. It hits theaters March 31st, 2023.

Newly minted co-CEO of DC Studios James Gunn is teasing a new television series project. While yes, Gunn helmed HBO Max’s “Peacemaker” series to much acclaim, that’s not what this one is. In a tweet, Gunn teased an “unannounced” DC tv show, with a smiley face. The emoji probably isn’t a clue, but, we can’t rule it out, either. The mystery project could be anything. Key point being “unannounced,” so, it’s probably NOT “Green Lantern” or any of “The Batman” offshoots currently in the works. There was a rumored additional “The Suicide Squad” spinoff….something…but no further intel has surfaced. Gunns’…

Paramount+ is really dragging out the reveal of an official “Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies” trailer. We’ve gotten lots of little snippets here and there, but not a true trailer. This morning, the streaming service released an under-a-minute teaser for the show, a prequel series for the iconic 1978 film. “Pink Ladies” stars Jason Schmidt as Buddy and Marisa Davila as Jane. Additional cast includes Cheyenne Isabel Wells as Olivia, Ari Notartomaso (“Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin”) as Cynthia, Tricia Fukuhara (“Dante Falls”) as Nancy, Shanel Bailey (“The Equalizer”) as Hazel, Madison Thompson (“Ozark”) as Susan, Johnathan Nieves (“Penny Dreadful: City of Angels”) as Richie, Maxwell Whittington-Cooper (“When They See Us”) as Wally,…

Fans of the one and only Mistress of the Dark might want to clear some shelf space for a new Monster High Doll. The creepy collection from Mattel has teased a special release coming later this week.
