The LA fires have affected multiple TV shows, with production being shut down.

Shows include Greys Anatomy, NCIS, SWAT, Hacks, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, Doctor Odyssey, Abbott Elementary, All American, and The Pitt.

This list may grow, and atm, its unknown when any of them will resume.

To me it looked like they were setting up a spin off with the women’s team idea at the end of season 3. Whatever they do with it, it has been excellent so far so I’m glad it’s coming back.

Following the cancellation of two "FBI" spin-off series (Most Wanted & International) a third spin-off is still looking possible, it would be "FBI: CIA".

The original FBI series (currently in Season 7) was renewed for 3 seasons last year (7, 8 & 9). It seems likely it will then end after season 9.

Stuart Fails to Save the Universe is the title for the latest spin-off from The Big Bang Theory.

Netflix has given a series order for a live-action Scooby-Doo series.
Apparently it will "uncover how everyone’s favorite mystery-solving gang, and their beloved dog, first teamed up to crack the haunting case that started it all."

https://tvline.com/news/scooby-doo-n...ls-1235422597/

However, it also states it will be a "modern reimagining of the iconic mystery-solving group of teens and their very special dog".

Sadly, as a comment on the article noted : "modern reimagining" often means "ruined".

Maybe Velma with have dark skin like in the recent cartoon or Fred will be gay. Either way I'll give it a chance when it arrive.

“Modern re-imagining” = “writers lack the skill to work within an established story-universe so they’ve binned it and decided to do their own thing.”

That Velma cartoon was a complete disaster, but yeah, its Netflix, so probably.
They'll have to throw in the obligatory gay person, black person, and non binary, despite the fact none are part of Scooby Doo.

Re: TV Show Snippets & General Information
 
Well people moan when they constantly remake stuff with no effort but when writers try to bring something new, people still moan that they changed it.

Either way am sure it'll be ok. Change can be interesting and refreshing.

Before the New Harry Potter series even starts filming HBO have already managed to piss off some of its potential audience with more "inclusion casting" for no obvious reason. Someone called Paapa Essiedu has been cast as Professor Snape.

Hugh 18-04-2025 00:19

Re: TV Show Snippets & General Information
 
Well, like his predecessor in the role, he is very active in the RSC (played Hamlet, and other roles), and has a lot of well-praised TV and theatre roles, so perhaps that’s why he’s been cast.

He was good in the Lazarus Project and Gangs of London. I have no issues with a Black Snape tbh I think a start contrast to Alan Rickman is better than a poor substitute. No one will be as good as Rickman was imo RIP

I enjoyed him inThe Lazarus project also.

I think it's the right call, as you say no one can touch Rickmans portrayal. So why not just go off piste and very different. Of course you'll get all the usual cries of woke from certain folk, many of which wouldn't likely watch the show anyway.

Of course you do, everyone on the forum could have predicted that. ;)

It doesnt matter how good he was in the Lazarus Project, thats not the point, and you know it.

Quote:

Gee, I wonder why. :dozey:
They insisted from the start that this would be "a faithful adaptation of the books", and yet before it even kicks off, they have already broken this promise.
Professor Snape is described (in the books) as having "a sallow complexion", i.e. yellowish or pale - clearly not Paapa Essiedu.
So yes, this appears to be inclusion/woke/race-swapping (whatever you want to call it) simply for the sake of it.

Or he was cast as he is a good actor and was the best person to fulfil the role for them.

Clearly no one could do the character as good as Rickman. Instead of casting someone stereotypically fitting the book description and fear of them just being called a pale imitation or a poor attempt to copy Rickman they just decided after all the screentests he was the best person for the role.

It's not all ticking boxes you know. People are still cast or hired based on ability and fitting the direction the production team want to go.

Hes not transgender (afaik anyway) so I doubt she paid much attention. Its also very unlikely she has much say, whatever she may think.

We're officially one step closer to stepping back inside Silo 18. Apple TV+ announced via X with a behind-the-scenes photo that filming has wrapped on Season 3 of its critically acclaimed dystopian series Silo starring Rebecca Ferguson. Work isn't done just yet on the Hugh Howey adaptation, though, as the series lead previously teased to Collider and later confirmed that the fourth chapter of Juliette's story will be filming back-to-back with the upcoming season. For those at home, however, it means the countdown is on until the show picks up from where that shocking finale left off. A release date has yet to be set.
