It didn't take long for Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black, Perry Mason) to hear from her "family" after news broke that she had been cast to lead Disney+ and Marvel Studios' upcoming She-Hulk series. Now let's be clear for just a second- when we're talking "fam," we're talking more of the on-screen, "green" variety. That's right, none other […]
This is turning into a pretty active week for Disney+, starting with the release of the first official trailer for the second season of live-action "Star Wars" series The Mandalorian. Then came word that the Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie-starring The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was back in front of the cameras (with some […]
Considering the year most are having, writing about "D23 Expo 2019" feel like writing about something that took place ten years ago- not thirteen months. It's an important note because that's when now-Marvel Studios bigwig Kevin Feige announced three Disney+ live-action series: Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, and She-Hulk. Since that, we've learned that The Umbrella Academy series […]
Looks like Hawaii is about to get a very special physician, with Disney+ announcing on Thursday that Doogie Kameāloha, M.D. (working title) will be opening her practice on the streaming service in 2021. Kourtney Kang (Fresh Off the Boat, How I Met Your Mother) is set to write and executive produce the re-imagining of the popular […]
With things looking pretty solid for Disney+'s The Mandalorian as it heads into its premiere in October, now seems as good a time as any to check in on one of the other live-action "Star Wars" series in development at the streaming service. Between a COVID-related production and some behind-the-scenes creative maneuverings, the upcoming Obi-Wan […]
So it seems like this week is the week, The Mandalorian fans. After learning last week that the Disney+ Star Wars spinoff series would be returning for a second season on October 30th, we're now getting our first set of preview images. The good news is that we see a lot of familiar faces back, […]
With all due respect to The Mandalorian series creator, director, and EP Jon Favreau, the Disney live-action Star Wars spinoff series was having it a little too easy heading into its second season on October 30th. Well, almost. We're not sure how "The Mouse's" black helicopters allowed this to happen, but apparently series star Gina […]
Well, now we know when fans of Disney+'s The Mandalorian can look forward to the highly-anticipated series' return, with the streaming service revealing on Wednesday that new episodes will begin streaming on October 30th. The second season carries not only the weight of a well-received first season, but also a cast that includes or is rumored […]
In mid-July, Disney+ and Marvel Studios confirmed what most had already assumed: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier would not be making its August premiere window due to COVID-19 production delays. Even before the confirmation, the news seemed inevitable after the live-action series wasn't featured in the streaming service's promo for its August programming. But […]
One of the silver linings of this global pandemic is that while other traditional productions have had to shut down, animated shows have been able to adapt more easily to a distributed model of production. And so while the production of many of our live-action shows still is up in the air, we've had announcements […]
One of the best things about this month is that it's Emmys voting season. Of course, that has nothing to do with us- but what it does mean is that a lot of folks from some of your favorite shows are out-and-about discussing their past seasons (and looking to influence voters). That usually results in […]
Great news, "Star Wars" universe fans! Disney+ is releasing the "Star Wars Holiday Special" on Tuesday, November 17. Okay, let me be more specific: the streaming service will be releasing a new "Star Wars Holiday Special"- not the infamous 1978 CBS "special" that introduced us to not only Boba Fett but also to the concept […]
The Mandalorian series creator Jon Favreau must have been a saint in a past life, because it sure seems like he's being rewarded for it with how things have gone with the second season of Disney+ live-action Star Wars spinoff series. Finding a way to thread the production needle and avoid most of the obstacles that […]
Well, that didn't take long. Only hours after we heard from Diego Luna (Narcos) regarding production resuming on Disney+'s upcoming live-action Star Wars prequel series Rogue One, Deadline Hollywood is reporting exclusively that Adria Arjona (6 Underground, Morbius) will be joining Luna when he reprises his role as Rebel Alliance officer Cassian Andor. Disney representatives declined to […]
Last time we checked in on Disney+'s planned live-action Star Wars prequel series to Rogue One, the Diego Luna (Narcos)-starring series had reportedly brought on new cast members (see below) to join Luna when he reprises his role as Rebel Alliance officer Cassian Andor. Like dozens of television productions around the world, the Rogue One project […]
Welcome back to another round of BCTV Sunday Slices, our little slice of opinionated heaven where your resident "man-child" (long story, but I realize now that people throw out phrases they actually don't have the ability to understand so that's sad) looks back on the past week in Bleeding Cool Television's (BCTV) coverage to see what […]
During the NAACP's Arts, Culture & Entertainment Festival virtual reunion panel for the popular animated series The Proud Family, moderator Keke Palmer made some news of her own. The Hustlers and Scream Queens actress will be joining the voice cast for the series' return, The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder. Palmer will be voicing the character […]
Disney+ live-action Star Wars spinoff series The Mandalorian is one of those very rare 2020 returning series that somehow found a way to dodge most of the obstacles COVID-19 threw at television productions across the pop culture landscape. Series creator Jon Favreau confirmed the series' second-season return for October, and that EP Dave Filoni, Peyton […]
It's been some time since we last heard from Willow director Ron Howard about the status of the Disney+ series adaptation. Back in January, the filmmaker confirmed that he and writer Jonathan Kasdan were having "really serious discussions" about a sequel series. While no green light had been given at the time, Howard revealed that […]
With all of the recent attention focused on Disney+ and Marvel Studios' now-questionable release schedule for The Falcon and the Winter Solider and WandaVision (with Falcon officially delayed from its once-expected August release window), let's shift our focus to a series we always knew was coming in 2021: the Tom Hiddleston-starring Lok?. With Michael Waldron (Rick […]
