Netflix is the gift that keeps on giving and this time, the powers that be answered our collective plea and Jon Berenthal’s
Punisher will now get its own spinoff series. Steven
Lightfoot of
Hannibal fame, will step in as showrunner and though we have no timeline for release,
Frank Castle is building his arsenal in preparation.
John Krasinski, best known as action super star Jim from
The Office, has signed on to star as Jack Ryan in the newly announced Amazon series from
Michael Bay’s
Platinum Dunes and former
Lost co-showrunner,
Carlton Cuse. There isn’t one particular novel of source material for the series and Cuse and writer
Graham Roland said it will not be an origin story, but will jump off during the prime of
Ryan's CIA analyst career.
Sylvester Stallone, fresh off his
Oscar nominated role in
Creed, has signed on to star in Antoine Fuqua’s Omerta. The series is based off the third book in the
Mario Puzo trilogy that started with
The Godfather and followed by
The Last Don. This will be Sly’s first foray into TV, if you don’t count the reality show
The Contender with
Sugar Ray Leonard.
Remember that scene in Wet Hot American Summer when they talk about meeting up 10 years later to see what everyone is up to?
Yeah? Well that’s actually happening. The success of the 8 episodes of Wet
American Summer:
First Day of
Camp led to Netflix ordering another 8 episodes that will take place 10 years after the final day of camp from the movie. This may all sound confusing, but if you’re a Wet Hot American Summer fan it makes total sense.
The
Russo Brothers, who will see their film
Captain America: Civil War hit theatres this weekend, are headed back to TV with their company
Getaway Productions and
Skybound entertainment preemptively acquiring the rights to The Mastermind. The real life crime series, with comparisons to
Serial and
Making a Murderer, is written by
Atavist founder
Evan Ratliff, and will investigate the real life of
Paul LeRoux, a cartel kingpin turned government asset.
