Superman And Lois Already Renewed For Second Season

Superman And Lois Already Renewed For Second Season

, , , , , 0

In a sudden, but very on-brand move for The CW, its newest super-series Superman And Lois has been given a second season and a place on the 2021-22 schedule. Given the network’s track record, the renewal was never really in question, but the show’s performance in ratings likely motivated the early decision. Last Tuesday, with the 90-minute premiere and the behind-the-scenes doc that followed it, The CW achieved its highest ratings it had seen in two years. (We figure without those numbers, it might have taken another full week for the show to be renewed.) Mark Pedowitz, the man who has the worn-out “RENEW” button on his desk, says “The phenomenal multiplatform debut of Superman & Lois, which delivered for us in a big way on both a linear and streaming basis, is a testament to the creativity, hard work and dedication of the talented people who worked tirelessly in front of and behind the camera, especially in this challenging environment.” Contrary to a belief held by some, The CW’s

The CW Announces Spring Schedule Shuffle

The CW Announces Spring Schedule Shuffle

It got to an unavoidably late start, but The CW’s “fall” season is finally in full swing. Stuff that ordinarily would have premiered in September or October instead began running in January, and half the network’s shows haven’t even premiered their new seasons yet. You know what this means…we’re pushing into the summer. We finally know when our beloved Legends of Tomorrow will finally come back to us: May 2, and it’s being given the prime slot of Sundays at 8! To make room Batwoman will be pushed back an hour, and Charmed will be shoved down into Fridays again (it actually received better ratings on Friday than it has so far on Sunday, go figure). Riverdale is being replaced April 7 by a revival of the Carradine Kung Fu series, which we still know almost nothing about, except that there will be kung and maybe some fu. In The Dark, the show that has only one viewer (me), returns June 9 and The Republic of Sarah, the wildest premise

Supergirl Confirmed For The Flash Movie

Supergirl Confirmed For The Flash Movie

When Melissa Benoist dons the tights for the last time on The CW’s Supergirl, that won’t be the end of the character But the next time you see her, she may look a bit different. WB is still planning on making a movie out of The Flash, and today we got the surprise news that the first DC Cinematic Universe version of Supergirl (if you don’t count Helen Slater) will make her appearance in that movie. Who’s it gonna be? No one you’ve heard of. Deadline says this is intentional. No one knew who Gal Gadot was before Wonder Woman, and that movie was their biggest DCEU hit to date, so they plan on repeating the process by finding a newcomer and raising her up as a pillar of the DCEU. Yes, this more than likely means a Supergirl movie, especially if The Flash does good business. Over 400 actresses auditioned for the Supergirl role, but only one could land the job: Sasha Calle, an actress previously only seen on

John Wesley Shipp Is Back As Flash — But Not That One

John Wesley Shipp Is Back As Flash — But Not That One

, , , , , , 0

In 1990 it was rare for a superhero to get his own live-action series, especially in prime time. The task was even harder if your name wasn’t as well-known as “Superman” or “Batman.” But somehow The Flash pulled it off and speeded onto CBS’s lineup. The show didn’t last long, but it gave superhero media one important, world-changing thing: it cast Mark Hamill as the Joker-like supervillain Trickster, an act that included the first public performance of his Joker voice. It inspired the producers of B:TAS to hire Mark officially as Joker, and the rest is history. Hamill certainly got a lot of work out of The Flash. The actual Flash less so. John Wesley Shipp hasn’t gotten to do much in Hollywood since….until recently, when Greg Berlanti’s DC Universe started paying him some love. Shipp has not only gotten to reprise his old role on The Flash but he appeared in the Crisis super-crossover from 2019, and now he’s going to show up again — this time on Stargirl.

Mortal Kombat Lands First Killer Trailer

Mortal Kombat Lands First Killer Trailer

In case you didn’t know, Warner Bros now owns Mortal Kombat, and if you didn’t know, then you haven’t been paying attention to the numerous free plugs WB has been inserting for the games into other properties. Every time you see a CW superhero character playing a video game, it is usually the latest Mortal Kombat installment. Now you learned something. (Hopefully you’re not so ignorant that you’re wondering why Chun-Li isn’t in this.) WB has also been trying to expand MK’s reach into other mediums — an animated feature was released not too long ago. But the big goal was always a Mortal Kombat live-action feature film, and it’s almost ready, even if the nation’s theaters still aren’t (it’ll be on HBO Max same-day anyway). There were two Mortal Kombat movies released in theaters during the 90s. The difference between those and this one is that the WB version isn’t going to shy away from the over-the-top ultraviolence the MK brand is known for. It’ll be the first R-rated

HBO Max Announces Three More Animated Shows

HBO Max Announces Three More Animated Shows

, , , , , , 0

This headline nearly said “HBO Max Announces Three New Animated Shows.” But that wouldn’t be entirely truthful, as two of them are based on pre-existing shows and can’t technically be labeled as “new.” Mind, this is more of a nitpick than a complaint. How can anyone be mad about the return of Clone High? CLONE HIGH – Two season order A modern refresh of the Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Bill Lawrence hit series set at a high school for clones of historical figures. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller return as executive producers and writers. Bill Lawrence is also returning as executive producer with Erica Rivinoja, (“South Park,” “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm”) who wrote on the original “Clone High” returning as showrunner. CLONE HIGH is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios. This is one of the funniest shows of all time, and it cruelly ended on a cliffhanger after just one season. Twenty years is a long time to wait, but with all the original writers on board, our hopes are high.

Finally, A Superman And Lois Trailer With Real Clips

Finally, A Superman And Lois Trailer With Real Clips

Late last month The CW’s first trailer for Superman and Lois finally appeared…but it barely had Superman OR Lois. What it did have was a lot of foggy clouds surrounding the “S” symbol and a few stoic audio quotes. Forget all that now, because they finally put out a REAL trailer. As we’ve said plenty of times before, Superman and Lois is about the super-couple at a later time in their lives when they’re married with offspring. Those kids were babies the last time we saw them, but the Crisis event in 2019 spread Kryptonian Soap Opera Gamma Rays on them so they’re now teenagers. Jonathan and Jordan are played by Jordan Elsass and Alexander Garfin respectively, and they’ll be developing powers of their own, though we still don’t know if they’ll be exactly like Superman’s or different. Lana Lang is also part of the cast…played this time by Emmanuelle Chriqui, she works as a loan officer in Smallville and she married a fireman named Kyle (Erik Valdez). But here’s

It Sure Sounds Like The Flash Is Recasting Elongated Man

It Sure Sounds Like The Flash Is Recasting Elongated Man

The first episode of Batwoman Number Two aired last night, to mixed reactions from both fans and critics. The most positive thing I’ve heard is that the new Bat has a more interesting personality than the statue that was Ruby Rose, but it’s faint praise. Personally, I thought the episode was a trainwreck. There was no believable way to integrate a complete stranger with no connection to the Kanes or the Foxes into the Batcave, especially within one hour, but Luke and Mary were somehow mesmerized by Ryan Wilder’s pretty speeches nearly instantly. And I don’t know who thought of the idea for making Ryan talk to a plant in her van, but it’s goofy as hell, emphasized by the moment when Hush knocked the plant over during the episode’s climactic fight and Ryan howled “NOOOOOO!” All this could have been avoided by just recasting Kate, but Berlanti Industries Inc. decided against that. Are they just against recasts in general? Apparently not…we’re now hearing that when The Flash returns late

Green Arrow And The Canaries is Officially Not Happening

Green Arrow And The Canaries is Officially Not Happening

There will be no more Green Arrows on The CW, the network announced today, and no Canaries either. They’re officially taking a pass on the proposed spinoff sequel to Arrow, after a backdoor pilot aired as one of the original’s final episodes nearly a year ago. In that episode, it was revealed that in the year 2040, everything is perfect and the world is at absolute peace (we really turned things around in nineteen years). In this world lives Mia Smoak, the happy and rich daughter of Ollie and Felicity, until she finds out trouble is on the horizon. Laura Lance has time-traveled to her era, recruited Dinah Drake and seeks to add Mia to her team to form the crime-fighting trio to be known as the Canaries. Now they must fight…..someone, and they better figure out who it is, because if they fail, the planet will fall into war and chaos once again. Producer Marc Guggenheim left a couple unanswered questions in the final episodes of Arrow, expecting to

Next February, Superman will be getting his first live-action TV series since the 90s — and he’ll be sharing top billing with his main squeeze (which is also what happened last time). But unlike ABC’s Lois & Clark, Superman And Lois will focus on the life of a slightly older couple, living in Smallville and raising two boys. Today The CW gave us our first real look at the series in a one-minute trailer. Until now it’s all been press shoots and costume reveals, but now finally we can see some clips — wait, who brought the fog machine? I can only make out stock poses! CURSES! This is the work of Lex, isn’t it?? So yeah, it’s just a bunch of abstract images and symbolic CGI while Supes gives a pretty speech. That’s kind of a letdown. The most it does is gives us a glimpse of what Superman & Lois’s teenage sons look like…they were babies the last time we saw them, but the Crisis event in 2019

Here’s Everything Arriving On HBO Max This January

Here’s Everything Arriving On HBO Max This January

So you got an HBO Max subscription just for Wonder Woman and you’re wondering what else you can do with it? Currently, plenty, but once the new year hits, even more. The streamer revealed its list of material that will be arriving January 1, and it includes over 100 movies and shows — in addition to what’s already there. In terms of originals, the fourth season of Alia Shawkat’s Search Party will be hitting on January 14. New episodes of Looney Tunes Cartoons will arrive January 21, alongside the third season of Italian crime drama Gomorrah. Toward the close of the month, WB will offer its theatrical film “The Little Things” the day it opens, January 29, for all subscribers. Below is the long, long list of material coming to HBO Max next month. You may recognize many of these as movies and TV shows WB already owns…they weren’t there from the beginning due to contract agreements with other streamers before HBO Max was ever an idea. But as of

HBO Max Finally Available On Roku Devices

HBO Max Finally Available On Roku Devices

Roku is in more homes that any other streaming device. Millions own the plug-in sticks and a growing number own dedicated Roku TVs. This is why it’s strange that Warner Bros did not provide a Roku app for its HBO Max streaming service when it launched, or for months afterward. There WERE workarounds — if you owned a game console that wasn’t a Switch, there was probably an HBO Max app for it. Consumers were also allowed to add HBO Max to an existing streaming cable subscription like YouTube TV, which is on Roku (but it’s $65 a month right now). But you don’t have to bother anymore…whatever issue there was between the two companies has been settled, and just in time for Christmas. “We believe that all entertainment will be streamed and we are thrilled to partner with HBO Max to bring their incredible library of iconic entertainment brands and blockbuster slate of direct-to-streaming theatrical releases to the Roku households with more than 100 million people that have made
