HBO’s The Nevers has to be one of the unluckiest TV shows in recent memory, and definitive proof it’s impossible to predict how a Hollywood project will turn out. It premiered with great fanfare in early 2021.

In case you’re wondering, there is a real, actual explanation for why “Weird” Al Yankovic exists. The short of it is that he was a college DJ who fooled around and created his own parodies of the songs that were popular at the time.

Swimming with Sharks is an adaptation of the 1994 Black Comedy film of the same title. It was about an intern with a boss from hell but reversed the situation in the end.

It will be Kiernan Shipka’s first Adult role after playing Sabrina the Teenage Witch on Netflix. Unlike the original, which has more humor, This one will be crossing the thriller territory because it will be darker and grimmer.

For all of the other leaks that were coming out ahead of Google IO, information about a Google-made media streamer was absent until the morning of it’s announcement.
