The Weekly Static is our look at the past week in the land of the networks, cable, streaming, smoke signals, cloud formations, and shadow puppets from an interesting and entertaining perspective.

The CW has acquired The Outpost, a 10-episode fantasy-adventure series starring Jessica Green, created by Jason Faller and Kynan Griffin.

In what we're choosing to refer to as a "Peaches & Herb announcement", The Vampire Diaries star Michael Trevino is reuniting with director Julie Plec on the CW‘s immigration-theme-with-a-twist sci-fi reboot pilot Roswell.

Into the Badlands' Madeleine Mantock is trading the martial arts for the more mystical kind, set to join the CW's Charmed reboot from Jane the Virgin creator/showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman.

If you remember where Season 3 left us, the zombie jig was up courtesy of Chase Graves (Jason Dohring), who broadcast the existence of zombies for everyone to hear. Three months later, a much darker iZombie Season 4 opens at a brain processing plant (think Unwrapped).

The CW has cast Perry Mattfeld from Shameless to play a blind woman trying to solve a friend's murder in the new pilot 'In the Dark'.

The Weekly Static is our look at the past week in the land of the networks, cable, streaming, smoke signals, cloud formations, and shadow puppets from an interesting and entertaining perspective. THIS WEEK: Weird Al, Ronda Rousey, M. Night Shyamalan, John Oliver and networks behaving badly.

Rupert Evans (The Man in the High Castle) looks to be taking on a very important role in the CW’s Charmed reboot pilot from Jane the Virgin creator/showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman.

Originally published by DC Comics/Vertigo, the CW’s adaptation of Chris Roberson and Michael Allred’s comic book series iZombie debuted it’s third season on April 4th, 2017. As big a fan as I am of the series, I have to admit that Season 3 left me confused, a little disappointed and needing more episodes.

Bleeding Cool's Ray Flook recaps iZombie season 2 for you and makes a case for why this season is the best of the series so far.

Originally published by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint in 2010, CW's adaptation of Chris Roberson and Michael Allred's iZombie premiered on March 17th, 2015; and when I first watched it, I thought it reminded me of a cross between Monk and Law and Order, with an adorable easy-on-the-eyes goth lead thrown into the mix.

Sarah Jeffery (Shades of Blue) will be conjuring up the role of Madison, youngest of three magical sisters in the CW’s Charmed reboot pilot from Jane the Virgin creator/showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman.

The Weekly Static is our righteously desperate-yet-endearing look at the past week in the land of the networks, cable, streaming, smoke signals, cloud formations, and shadow puppets from an interesting, unique and entertaining perspective. At least that’s how it reads on paper… let’s see how this goes.

A small group of incredibly lucky Supernatural fans who are going to be around the Los Angeles area on March 20 will be in for a very cool treat. This year's PaleyFest television festival will premiere the show's Scooby-Doo crossover: “Scoobynatural.”

The Quad director/executive producer Rob Hardy is set to direct the CW's still-untitled drama pilot inspired by the life of football player Spencer Paysinger. April Blair (Spencer) will write and executive produce the project.
