HBO is heading back into the world of Stephen King’s It next year with the prequel Welcome to Derry. And while we wait for a proper trailer, the network has released a handful of Pennywise-free first-look images.

Jon Stewart isn’t returning to host The Daily Show full-time, but Variety reports he’s extended his deal with Comedy Central to keep reporting from the desk on Monday nights through the end of 2025.

Just how popular is Shohei Ohtani in Japan? As the Wall Street Journal reports, the recent premiere of One Piece was delayed by a whole week so that it didn’t conflict with the World Series. It seems he’s approaching Dragon Quest levels of fame.

During an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Sarandos was asked which series he wished Netflix produced:

I love The Bear. I wish that was one of ours. Ted Lasso spoke to the time really well. People were looking for something light and fun, and it was just that.

Netflix has renewed Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft for a second season that will follow as Lara (Hayley Atwell) “discovers a trail of stolen African Orisha masks.” Sounds like the show might be gesturing towards a bit of Britain’s real-world history of looting the continent.

Following the first wave of Disney Plus series coming out on 4K UHD and Blu-ray last year, physical copies of The Mandalorian’s third season, Ahsoka’s first season, Hawkeye’s first season, and Loki’s second season are set to hit stores on October 31st.

After Amazon and Sony parted ways with the original creative team working on the live-action adaptation, Deadline reports that Moore has joined the production as writer, executive producer, and showrunner.

Moore is best known for producing Battlestar Galactica and for his work on Star Trek spinoffs Deep Space Nine and The Next Generation.

It sure looks like we’re getting a Severance trailer at 9AM ET tomorrow. The first teaser for season 2 didn’t reveal a whole lot, but there’s still plenty of time ahead of the January 17th premiere. At least we know there will be balloons.

In what feels like a preview of the influencer media problems of tomorrow, Touchdown Tom is now both the lead analyst for Fox and a part-owner of the Raiders. He’s still allowed to call Raider games for some reason, but part of the NFL’s overall solution to the obvious conflict of interest issues is to bar Brady from criticizing officiating during games. The Athletic asked a number of sports TV producers for their read on it:

The producers also noted something interesting: You will have people actively listening specifically for whether Brady says something critical about another franchise or officials. The converse, too. People will evaluate whether he is intentionally avoiding what is in front of him. That’s a mess for everyone.

“You have to at least know you have the freedom to share your opinion about officiating,” said a veteran NFL broadcaster who was granted anonymity to speak candidly. “These are split-second decisions on air. You can’t ponder whether the league will be happy.”

Brady calling Chiefs / 49ers this afternoon; we’ll see how he handles it.

We’ve known for a while now that HBO was aiming to debut its Dune: Prophecy prequel series at some point this fall. But in addition to dropping a new trailer, the network has finally announced that the show will premiere on November 17th.

Showrunner Rafe Judkins and executive producers Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus were well into their preproduction process for Amazon’s live-action God of War series. But Deadline reports that, even though Amazon and Sony were into the creative team’s scripts, the studios have decided “move in a different creative direction” with the help of an entirely new writers room.

It’s one thing for Netflix to split Arcane’s upcoming final season into a three-part event, but the streamer has some nerve to keep dropping these banger trailers so close to the show’s return next month.

It still doesn’t really feel like it has been long enough since Netflix’s Voltron: Legendary Defender series ended for Amazon to be producing its own live-action take on the 80s sci-fi franchise. But the Rawson Marshall Thurber-directed project has just added Henry Cavill to its cast, which makes it seem that much more likely we’ll be seeing it in theaters soon enough.

Into every generation, a(t least one) fictional girl destined to save the world from demons is born, and the latest addition to the Buffy-inspired canon comes by way of Echo Wu’s Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld.

The show hits Netflix on December 5th.

There was still time for HBO to make its Lanterns show all about Aaron Pierre’s John Stewart, but the network has just officially cast Kyle Chandler to co-star as Hal Jordan.

Netflix’s Greek myth-inspired drama Kaos seemed like it had quite a bit (like Jeff Goldblum) going for it, but Variety reports that the show has been canceled after just one season.

Though Over the Garden Wall still remains criminally unavailable on Max where it belongs, a new two-minute-long stop-motion short from series creator Patrick McHale and Aardman is coming to Cartoon Network’s YouTube channel on November 3rd.

Focus grouping upcoming films is a pretty standard practice. But according to Variety, the rise of toxic online fandoms who treat review bombing and leading harassment campaigns like it’s their job has prompted many of Hollywood’s studios to start soliciting feedback from “superfans” about how to avoid potential backlash from trolls who “are just out for blood, regardless.”

Though everything about The Franchise’s big budget superhero movie production makes the fictional project seemed doomed to fail, its crew has no choice but to soldier forward in the show’s latest trailer.

While the first teaser for Amazon’s new Like a Dragon: Yakuza adaptation made it hard to get a read on what kind of tone the show would aim for, a new trailer makes it seem like we’re in for a much more buttoned-up take on Kazuma Kiryu.
