News from the Continent- sounds like Netflix has given the greenlight for a 5th and final season of “The Witcher.” Season 5 will reportedly film back to back with season 4, which just had it’s first table read this week! The goal is to adapt the remaining Andrzej Sapkowski books- “Baptism of Fire,” “The Tower of the Swallow,” and “Lady of the Lake.” “It is with huge pride that we begin shooting our penultimate season of The Witcher with a stellar cast, including some exciting new additions, led by Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia,” showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich said.…

An upcoming big budget studio film has officially launched a trailer from space. We’re kind of surprised it’s taken this long, honestly. And more surprised it wasn’t one of the “Fast and Furious,” “Star Trek,” or Tom Cruise movies to do it. Instead, it’s Paramount Pictures’ upcoming “TRANSFORMERS ONE!” The trailer is introduced by Chris Hemsworth (“Thor”) as Optimus Prime, and Brian Tyree Henry as Megatron. We also get our first look/listen at Scarlett Johansson as Elita-1, and Keegan-Michael Key as B-127. Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne, and Jon Hamm (“Good Omens”) also star. “TRANSFORMERS ONE” is set to hit theaters…

This just in- Apple TV+ has renewed one of our absolute favorite shows for a 5th season! We’ve been talking about “For All Mankind” for a long, long time, and we are DELIGHTED to see it get another season. A spinoff has also been ordered, called “Star City,” which will tell the same story, but from the Iron Curtain prospective during the first days of the space race to the moon. It will “explore the story from behind the Iron Curtain, showing the lives of the cosmonauts, the engineers, and the intelligence officers embedded among them in the Soviet space…

It’s always a sad thing when one of your favorite shows ends. Even moreso when the cast, crew, and creators are such a big part of the fandom, that you can feel their sadness too. Okay maybe that’s a comfort thing as well- to know they feel strongly about the project, and are fans just like us. This brings us to the pretty heartbreaking news that “What We Do In The Shadows” has had their last table read ever, for their last episode ever. Back in December of 2023, FX announced the undead comedy series was getting a 6th and…

This just in-sounds like we may be getting a new Principal of Nevermore Academy in season 2 of Netflix’s “Wednesday.” Sources indicate Steve Buscemi has joined the series from Tim Burton for it’s sophomore outing. Details are scarce about who the “Boardwalk Empire” star may play, but earlier reports indicate his character may be taking over the Principal position from Gwendoline Christie’s Larissa Weems. The series stars Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, daughter of Morticia (Catharine Zeta Jones) and Gomez (Luis Guzmán) Addams. Season 1 is currently streaming on Netflix. Cameras are expected to start rolling on season 2 sometime…

This just in-everyone’s favorite actor (and all-around good egg) Keanu Reeves is ready to GO FAST. The “John Wick” star is no stranger to big-budget films or franchises, or animated features, honestly. His NEXT voice gig will apparently be in the upcoming third “Sonic the Hedgehog” film! According to the usual sources, Reeves will be voicing Shadow, the dark and moody kinda-sorta-mostly-anti-Sonic character from the SEGA video games. Paramount Pictures currently has “Sonic 3” dated for a December 20th, 2024 release. We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.

It’s one thing to add the word ‘legacy’ to a project. And another thing entirely when it’s with a TRUE legacy character or property like, oh, say, “Godzilla.” Considering the true and awesome resurgence of this particular Kaiju (who, let’s be honest, has never FULLY gone away), 2024 has been a banner year for the King of Monsters. Apple TV+ knows this, and has officially ordered a second season of their live-action series, “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.” While not ENTIRELY about Godzilla, he does play a pretty big part. “‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ has left an indelible imprint on the…

It sounds like Prime Video has renewed their live-action series “Fallout” for a second season! [This is an update to our previously published piece, which pointed out no one noticed the renewal!] According to a report from the Los Angeles Times from April 8th, the MGM/Amazon production has moved from New York to California for it’s “second season.” Why the move? Why, to take advantage of the tax credits the golden state gives productions who film there. But SECOND SEASON?! Okie dokie! “We are thrilled to bring ‘Fallout’ back to its California roots,” Colleen Bell, executive director of the California…

This just in-the world “Avatar: The Last Airbender” is expanding even more! This year saw the release of Netflix’s live-action series, as well as news of upcoming animated projects from Avatar Studios.

Lauren Montgomery, veteran of the original “Airbender” animated series, will direct. Paramount is reportedly eyeing an October 2025 release date. This…

There was a time in the 90s where one could not escape the name and visage of Orenthal James Simpson. Better known by his initials, O.J. was a n NFL star, playing for the Buffalo Bills among other teams. He then turned to acting. But it was his legal battles that really captured the nation’s attention. On June 12th, 1994 Simpson’s wife and friend were murdered. The following day, Simpson became a suspect in the heinous act. On the 17th, the Bronco chase happened, becoming one of the most-watched live police chases ever. He was eventually arrested, and charged with…
