[ad_1] According to Variety, Netflix doesn’t plan to produce a third season of Altered Carbon. Citing a source with “knowledge of the decision,” Variety reports Netflix canned the show for one of its usual reasons. The company didn’t see the series build enough an audience to justify its production budget. Netflix canceled another lavishly produced sci-fi series, the Wachowskis’ Sense8, […]

A Disney+ ‘Star Wars’ series is coming from a ‘Russian Doll’ co-creator
[ad_1] Disney+ appears to have more Star Wars shows lined up beyond a Rogue One prequel and the Obi Wan Kenobi series. Variety sources say the service is lining up a new series from Leslye Headland, the co-creator and showrunner of Netflix’s Russian Doll. The plot is still a mystery, but it’s reportedly a “female-centric” […]
How Amazon turned Simon Stålenhag’s ‘Tales from the Loop’ into a TV show
[ad_1] Halpern tried to replicate that human-technology relationship in the show. Like Stålenhag’s art, the loop in Ohio uses three massive cooling towers. They’re visible in the background of countless shots but never questioned or explored up close. A floating tractor is treated the same way in episode six. Though it plays a critical role […]
'Star Trek: Voyager' gets an unofficial 4K remaster thanks to AI
[ad_1] As with Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager is unlikely to ever get an official high-resolution remaster. The effects were shot on video rather than added to film after the fact, making it much harder to upgrade the quality than it was for The Next… [ad_2] Source link
Ava DuVernay teams with ‘Star Wars’ veteran on Amazon sci-fi series
[ad_1] This isn’t Amazon’s first Octavia Butler adaptation. It also tapped Viola Davis, Nnedi Okorafor and others for a Prime Video version of Wild Seed. It is, however, relatively new territory for DuVernay. She’s more closely associated with Netflix projects like When They See Us, and she’s not known for straight-up sci-fi. When she branches […]
‘Westworld’ season 3 trailer sets the stage for an AI battle
[ad_1] Earlier this year, series co-creator Jonathan Nolan told Deadline he wanted to share a different vision of dystopia. “Dystopia can look pretty beautiful in the world,” he said. “Just because the world is corrupt inside, doesn’t mean it can’t be smothered over and pretty. We wanted to find a version of dystopia that we […]
‘Altered Carbon’ season 2 teaser shows Anthony Mackie as the ‘new’ hero
[ad_1] The new season debuts February 27th. There’s a fair amount of hype for the show, both because of the relatively lengthy two-year wait and because of the show itself. It’s arguably Netflix’s tentpole ‘deep’ sci-fi show (Lost in Space being lighter fare) with a healthy audience, and now it has to go up against […]
NBC may revive ‘Quantum Leap’ for its Peacock streaming service
[ad_1] We wouldn’t count on a possible show bringing back Scott Bakula or Dean Stockwell, at least not in their original roles. Bakula is tied up with NCIS: New Orleans, while Stockwell hasn’t acted in five years. It’s likelier that this would be a reboot or a sequel. You might find out more soon. NBC […]
‘Star Trek: Picard’ has already been renewed for a second season
[ad_1] As with Discovery, it’s easy to see why CBS would be so eager to renew the series. While All Access has an increasing diversity of shows, Star Trek arguably remains the highlight of the streaming service. A second season of Picard gives you an added reason to come back — and, of course, to […]
A ‘Snow Crash’ TV series is coming to HBO Max
[ad_1] There’s no tentative release schedule, and it’s clearly too soon to learn who’ll play characters like Hiro Protagonist and YT. This may have been in the works for a while, though. There has been talk for months of resurrecting attempts to bring Snow Crash to screens following a failed attempt to make a movie. […]
