Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

john Rhys-Davies and Jerry O'Connell are in talks for a Sliders revival. I hope it goes through because I would love a new series like this with different stories and settings every week. With the standard of special effects these days I think the series will be a lot better quality than the original because they'll be able to create any environment the writers imagine.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I loved the first seasons of Sliders. It was a fantastic show. Got a bit crazy toward the end, but would love a revival.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Yeah, it got weird when john rhys davies anx jerry o'connell left

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Yeah they then brought in Jerry's brother to replace him then all the alien nonsense.

That did not take long.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Not so much of a renewal as new series info. Another Walking Dead spin-off is in the works but tbh I think TWD and FTWD is enough:

Disney+ Developing Hawkeye Limited Series.

https://www.tvwise.co.uk/2019/04/dis...rise-mcu-role/

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Nice, he is the only semi-main character that i feel i dont know anything about. I put him en par with Black Widow but we have learnt more about her as we have gone through the movies plus she is getting her own origin film. I imagine Hawkeye will be aimed more at 10-12 year old boys in terms of the stories and action but it will be good to get some depth on the character and build him up a bit.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Hawkeye has been done before in 1994 and there was also a series involving Hawkeye in 1957.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

It’s about him handing over Hawkeye to Kate Renner (as happened in the comics).

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

l never bought the comic Hugh.;)

The final season of Preacher (S04) starts on Aug 4th 2019.

Veronica Mars Season 4 will see all 8 episodes released on Jul 26th 2019.

Season 3 of Westworld has been confirmed as airing in 2020, nothing more specific atm, but its likely to be late in 2020.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

that has really annoyed me because they specifically said before the last season aired that they learned from season 1 and changed the way they were filming it/their production process so that going forward we would get a season every year.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Well lets hope it is as good as the first two series General.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Filming was delayed by California wildfires, and isnt due to start until June 2019.


Marvel Studios have officially confirmed that a Loki series is heading to the new Disney streaming service, and will star Tom Hiddleston reprising his role as the Asgardian.

Titans season 2 has been confirmed as airing in the autumn of 2019.

The Mandalorian is set to premiere on Nov 12th (2019), the 8 episodes of the first season will be shown as one episode per week.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Two more Marvel series coming to Hulu which should be good:

https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/m...-new-tv-shows/

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I wonder if they will tie in with the Ghost Rider continuity from Agents of SHIELD?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I think they will, i am sure i read it has got the same actor in it.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I seem to remember reading that too somewhere.

2019 Upfront dates ;

This is when the US networks announce the fate of their shows, what will be renewed, what wont, and what new shows are coming.
Of course, they have already cancelled or renewed many shows, but the fate of others is still unknown, plus we dont (generally) know what new shows are coming.

May 13: NBC, Syfy, Fox
May 14: Disney, ABC
May 15: CBS, TBS, TNT
May 16: The CW

So by Friday 17th, we should pretty much know whats coming in the new (US) TV season.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Sweet

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Batwoman, Katy Keene and Nancy Drew ordered to series by The CW.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

It used to be the case that scifi series were in the minority and I had then time to watch everything that I wanted to. These days so many series are coming out that I physically don't have the time to watch everything that I want to anymore and I have to try and pick and choose.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Batwoman was expected - she was in the Elseworlds crossover last year, and CW needed to replace Arrow.

I may give Nancy Drew a look, I have no idea what (who ?) Katy Keene is.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Teaser for the Watchmen series coming to HBO later this year.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Thanks, I wont be bothering with that then.

---------- Post added at 20:59 ---------- Previous post was at 20:57 ----------

Well that looks weird, not sure I'll bother with that either.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Got to agree with you here Paul, neither appeal to me.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

This isn't out till next year which is why I haven't put it in the tv schedule thread but one to put on your radar:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Yep, this one is already on my list, its a mid season show, so as you say, early 2020.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

annoyingly we are skipping a year again though, season 3 should have been this year. If it were any other series we might not be too fussed but this is so flipping good you miss it.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I mentioned a while ago that Netflix was making a Dark Crystal tv series. They have announced a premiere date of 30th August and some set pics are in the link below. It looks exactly the movie from donkeys years ago from that I can remember of it.

https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/t...te-and-photos/

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Lets hope it is as good as the film.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Um..... to what show are you referring here :confused:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Westworld season 3

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Coming in Autumn 2019 on Apple TV+ - For All Mankind.

What if the Soviets landed on the moon first and the space race never stopped.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

An interesting question, but unless they’re postulating that Werner Von Braun was liberated by the Soviets rather than the Americans, there’s no way the USSR would have got a manned mission to the moon first, or ever. Their N1 rocket was just too dangerous.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I think they may have stolen the US designs, as the Sov cosmonaut steps down from something very similar to the Lunar Module.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

It looks like it might be a great show.

Definitely an interesting topic.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I like the premise but the one thing which is making me feel despondent at the moment is Joel Kinnaman. He was quite drab in Altered Carbon which a lot of people moaned about and I didn't think anything of it at the time and put it down to the character he was portraying in the series. Unfortunately the same performance was repeated in Hanna which leads me to conclude that it is the actor who cannot act nor portray any semblance of personality.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Probably why is performance in RoboCop was good then lol. Acting like an emotionless robot, hehe.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

exactly, that is all he can do and when people are like that they aren't "acting", they are just being themselves.

The final season (5) of Killjoys starts on July 19th.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

About time too. Not going to leave SyFy with much SciFi when its over!

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I could swear I posted it along with the trailer 2 days ago and I can't flipping find it anywhere. I thought I put it in my tv schedule thread.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

The 100 Season 7 has been expanded to 16 episodes (to make it 100 in total).

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Sounds ominous. I hope it doesn't mean season 7 is the last.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

yeah, if the season 7 finale is the 100th episode it sounds like they want to go out with a bang. I am glad they care enough to make sure that "The 100" has 100 episodes, it is cliché but who cares.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

100 episodes is the traditional point for syndication, which will be why they extended it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_episodes

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

interesting, I never knew that. Also probably why back in the good old days full seasons were 26 episodes for a perfect half year run.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I knew that but I still think the 100th episode could be the last. Let's face it it's a season away, anything (storywise) could happen between then and now.

Perhaps I'm just unusually being a pessimist.:confused:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

yeah, hopefully though they are going to get plenty of notice if the series is ending so the writers can sit down and know they have got 16 episodes to finish off the series properly and do it justice. Like GoT, the characters have been through so much and come so far, they deserve a good send off.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I dont disagree, I strongly suspect it will be the last one.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Warner Media has ordered a new TV show Dune: The Sisterhood for their upcoming streaming service based on the Frank Herbert novel.

Netflix has announced casting for a new Supernatural TV show called I Am Not Okay with This. The drama is about a teenage girl dealing with the usual trials of high school, family etc while gaining mysterious superpowers. It will be 8 x 30 minute episodes.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Isn't that just Sabrina the Teenage witch, again? :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Nah, she only has telekinetic powers, not a patch on Sabrina!:)

SyFy are doing a Krypton spin-off to be called Lobo.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

:rolleyes: sounds more like Star Wars

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

How many seasons is it going to run?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Lobo appears in the new season 2 trailer for Krypton, guessing that how they will introduce him.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

As many as they renew it for.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

That'll be just the one then.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

lol, that is what I was going to say when I got the email with your question in

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

People said that about Krypton - and yet here we are, Season 2. ;)

I even remember people saying that about The 100, and now look at it. :)

You never can tell. :cool:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I loved The 100 from the get go. I thought Krypton was good enough to warrant renewal but knowing it has got to exploid at some point i would question whether it can last more than 4 seasons.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I would question if Krypton can even get to 4 seasons. The 100 I agree with you though, it was superb from the get go. Also it wasn't on the SYFY channel which seems to have lost its way.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

A new Gremlins tv series is in the works which will be a prequel series to the original movie:

https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/g...requel-series/

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

That could be really good if done well. Hope the animation style is good too.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

If its as good as the film we will be in for a treat General.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

There was 2 films Den. 1st was by far the best however.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

l certainly agree with that sentiment Stephen.

---------- Post added at 19:42 ---------- Previous post was at 19:36 ----------

The second one was indeed certainly nowhere as good as the first one and thus struggled at the box office compared to the first one.

https://www.the-numbers.com/movies/f...ns#tab=summary

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Just to make it clear - this Gremlins series is an animation, not live action as the films were.

---------- Post added at 23:19 ---------- Previous post was at 23:14 ----------

Syfy have announced that production on Wynonna Earp season 4 will begin later in the year, to hit our screens in 2020. :)

It will most likely air in the summer.
No news on the supposedly ordered 5th season, I guess we wait and see on that.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

they found some money then

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

IDW did yes, I believe they sold a load of new shares to raise money.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Warner Brothers are working on a new series of The Flintstones.

Amazon are reportedly working on the cast for Season 2 of The Boys.

One of the writers is already working on Season 2 of The Mandalorian.

Amazon has ordered Papergirls - a show based on a [graphic] novel of the same name.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

The good news for everyone is that it isn't just "one of the writers" who is jumping the gun and getting ahead of himself for season 2, it is the director and creator Jon Favreau. Everyone should have heard of him but in the unlikely event you haven't we are talking about Happy from the MCU who directed Iron Man and produced many of the other Marvel films. I am very excited and happy that somebody who has such a fantastic history of quality and passion in their work is helming a Star Wars project. We just know it is going to be done properly.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

The Orville Season 3 has been delayed until late 2020, due to the show moving from Fox to Hulu.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Homeland Season 8 wont air until February 9, 2020.

CBS has ordered a series of The Man Who Fell to Earth, based on the 1976 film.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Showtime have announced a series called Halo, based on the game of the same name.
Its expected to air in Q1, 2021.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Known dates for Marvel TV Series on Disney+ ;

Aug 2020 : The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Early 2021 : WandaVision.
Early 2021 : Loki.
Mid 2021 : What If.
Late 2021 : Hawkeye.

On top of this are the known Star Wars TV Series ;

Nov 2019 : The Mandalorian.
Feb 2020 : Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Season 7)
Sometime in 2021 : Rogue One Prequel (Unnamed)

In other words, 2021 is looking like a good year. :D

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Added Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which is coming in Feb 2020.

Disney+ have also announced a new Lizzy McGuire series, with Hilary Duff reprising her role.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Disney are surely missing the point. I’m a big marvel and Star Wars fan, but I will not be subscribing to their channel.

I’ll either watch it by other means or if the opportunity arises buy the shows I want via Blu-ray or other medium.

There’s no monthly income from me, much in the same way amazon and Netflix can kiss my behind.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I am just wondering though that with the way wifi is going, 5G internet and broadband connections etc how long it will be till physical media disappears altogether and streaming is the only option. Disney must have done some number crunching and worked out that it is still in their interest to sell dvds for the foreseeable future but the sure way to dominate the streaming market and take everyone away from Amazon and Netflix (price aside) is to say all future content (post cinema release) will only be available on their streaming service. Who wouldn't sign up if it meant they had unlimited access to future MCU films, Star Wars and Lion King etc. Surely that is the way to get 500m subscribers? That is why they are doing Lady and the Tramp on Disney+ and if they were clever they would say Lion King is streaming only because that is due out in November the same time as the debut of the streaming service.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Missing the point??

Disney are marketing it's service very well. The monthly fee is cheaper than the other services on offer, it will have many great shows and movies as well as a lot of new and exclusive content available, as well as only offering the one price which gets you 4K and all content with a number of users. Netflix only gives you that if you pay over £11 a month.

It's also the only place that will get Marvel movies and shows so they will certainly be taking it in.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Castle Rock Season 2 returns to Hulu on Oct 23rd (2019)

Outlander Season 5 returns to Starz next year, on Feb 16th (2020).

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

This years big "arrowverse" crossover is going to include the characters from Black Lightning.
We can already expect those from Arrow, Flash, Supergirl & the Legends (and possibly even Batwoman).

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

That’s interesting because when they launched Black Lightning they were coy about which universe it is in. In fact they’ve done little to address that aside from one very fleeting reference to Supergirl, which suggests the BL characters aren’t actually in the Arrowverse and they are going to have to pull off one almighty piece of plotting to make it happen.

TBH I have come to really dislike the crossovers. The Earth X one was a mess, very light on character (because there are just too many of them) and focusing purely on fanwanky pitch battles with as many costumed characters on screen as possible at any one time.
