Hey guys, it’s been a rough week. So instead of filling this intro with some sort of witty small talk, we’re just going to ask that you head over to iTunes and review/rate the show if you like what you hear. We love you.
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK:
- “The Walking Dead’s” Season 8 finale and Season 4 premiere of “Fear the Walking Dead” — aka the series’ first-ever crossover episode — will hit 750 theaters nationwide on April 15 in what Fathom Events is calling “Survival Sunday”
- Thanks to the success of “The White Queen” and “The White Princess,” Starz has put the third installment into production. Based on Philippa Gregory’s series of books, the newest series is “The Spanish Princess” which “returns viewers to the world of royal court intrigue as seen uniquely through the perspective of the women, but also sheds light on a previously untold corner of history — the lives of people of color, living and working in 16th century London.”
- Hulu is developing a series about the “Satanic Panic” of the late ’80s and early ’90s. The series is called “Demons,” and according to THR, the drama will “revolve around Marilyn Jones, the seductive “patient zero” in the frenzy surrounding satanic ritual abuse, and her husband, Bennett Lewis, a brilliant but manipulative psychiatrist. In success, each season of Demons would explore a twisted crime affected by the couple’s dark exploration into the fragile nature of memory and guilt.”
- MTV is expanding its “TRL” franchise to add late night and morning editions of the program.
- Nerdist reported on a rumor that FOX may be interested in rebooting “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” Of course, it’s just a rumor but would this even be a good idea?
QUESTION: After watching “Jessica Jones” and “Daredevil’s” sophomore seasons, I have to wonder, Is there a Season 2 curse for Netflix’s Marvel shows?
