We say “finally,” and that’s because way back in 2018 during a San Diego Comic Con panel about of all things “The Orville,” we were privy to a bit of information about a revisit of “Clive Barker’s Books of Blood.” At the time, the information came DIRECTLY from Brannon Braga, who was kind enough to tell us (well, namely me due to our previous interviews) that a brand new project was coming from the dripping bloody pages of Clive Barker.It was a news tip I handed to my then-outlet Bleeding Cool, and we were the first to report on it.…

Coming as no surprise, New York Comic Con is the latest of the annual pop culture gatherings to scrap their in-person event for a virtual experience. Announced just a little bit ago, the convention that invades New York’s Javits Convention Center has officially made the call to cancel this year’s in-person event. ReedPOP, parent company who also helm several other notable fan conventions across the globe, is reportedly teaming up with YouTube to bring panels and the like to fans virtually. During a chat with ComicBook.com back in April during the early days of the pandemic, ReedPOP VP and Event…

We had a feeling this was coming, something about the current state of things made it inevitable. Today we can report that a reboot of 90s sitcom (although it did have some absolutely beautiful moments of drama and truth) “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” is getting a reboot. Yes, Will Smith is attached, but at this point it’s behind the scenes as an executive producer. Perhaps you’ll recall the dramatic parody trailer “Bel-Air” from Morgan Cooper that made waves last year (if not, click here to watch it). It reimagined the Fresh Prince in a VERY different light- something more…

We want to start by saying writing reports like these is never easy, especially when we personally know some of those effected. Earlier today, WarnerMedia started to roll out a massive wave of layoffs across multiple portions of their vast entertainment empire including tv, films, and DC Comics. It is believed these layoffs come from both the current state of Hollywood and the entertainment industry in general as the Covid-19 worldwide pandemic continues raging, as well as WarnerMedia “restructuring.”In the first round of pink slips, some big names and heavy hitters within the company were included, like Warner Bros. CFO…

About time Sponge Bob’s bestest bud gets his moment in the spotlight! According to a report, a Bill Fagerbakke-voiced Patrick Star centric animated series is coming to Nickelodeon. “The Patrick Star Show” would, according to the report from Variety, be sort of a throwback to “The Larry Sanders Show,” with Patrick hosting his own late night talk show. Fagerbakke reportedly has already been recording for the show. This spinoff would join SpongeBob prequel animated series “Kamp Koral” in the announced SpongeBob universe teased by Nickelodeon president Brian Robbin last year. Although “Kamp Koral” is actually headed to CBS All Access…

We are so pleased to share the news that Adria Arjona (“Good Omens,” “Emerald City”) has reportedly joined Disney+ live action “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” spinoff series about Cassian Andor. Perhaps you’d remember Arjona from her role as Dorthy Gale in NBC’s shortlived “Emerald City” series, or from FOX’s “The Gifted” X-Men series, OR as Anathema Device from BBC and Hulu’s “Good Omens,” OR “Pacific Rim: Uprising,” you get the point. She’ll be joining “Rogue One” star Diego Luna in the “Star Wars” spinoff series, along with Alan Tudyk returning as droid K2SO. Stellan Skarsgård, Kyle Soller, Genevieve…

We’re also getting ABC Signature, which used to be both ABC Studios and ABC Signature.FOX 21 Television Studios has become Touchstone Television.A report from Variety states that the full rebranding might not roll out entirely until late 2020, early 2021.

Who woulda ever thought we’d be getting a “MacGruber” television series? Probably Will Forte, to be honest. Maybe Lorne Michaels. We digress- Just this morning, NBC’s streaming service Peacock announced a whole mess o series and projects they’re working on, and “MacGruber” is one of the titles. “After rotting in prison for over a decade, America’s ultimate hero and uber patriot MacGruber is finally released. His mission: to take down a mysterious villain from his past: Brigadier Commander Enos Queeth. With the entire world in the crosshairs, MacGruber must race against time to defeat the forces of evil — only…
