Zendaya’s Willing To Start Filming For Season 2

Looking Forward To Return As Rue

Zendaya as Rue, gained immense love from the audience and critics. Recently, in an interview, Zendaya expressed her excitement to return to play her character in Euphoria Season 2. She said: “We were supposed to return to work. I think, on March 16. And, three or four days before that, the production halted. I was like, ‘I was so close.’ We did camera tests and hair and makeup tests, and we got to see everybody, and we had the sets built.”

She added: “I mean the scripts were written and I was just so excited. To go back home is indeed what it feels like.” She explained how lucky she was that she’s safe. She continued: “But of course, this has all happened, and I’m just grateful that I’m in the position I’m in. I can’t complain. I’m fortunate to be safe and healthy and still know that I have a job, ‘Euphoria,’ that will be there.”

Zendaya’s Sentiments With Her Character

Zendaya said Rue’s a different character, unlike her, so it was a little fun and challenging to play. She added: “Rue is very different from me, but there’s something that seems like home. Something that feels stepping into shoes that you someway already have worn before.” Zendaya revealed that despite those challenges, she loves her character a lot. Zendaya continued: “I just felt like I was falling into her a lot. I’m sure you can connect. But that feeling of when a figure feels like they’re your best friend or your sister. I care for Rue as if she’s someone important in my life. And I want her to be ok.”

Being A Producer Is A Dream

The star, told herself in an interview, that it was her childhood dream to work off-screen and manage everything. Zendaya said that she wanted the entitled of a producer when she was younger because she wished to learn what it felt like to do all those stuff behind the scenes. The more she’s able to do the behind-the-scenes stuff, the more voices she can uplift that aren’t necessarily mine, the star added.

Know Your Worth It’s Important

Zendaya explained identifying your power and worth is the first step of leading a successful life. She stated that she had just been doing Disney Channel for so long. She started my journey when she was 13 years old. However, by the time Zendaya was 17, she had a better focus and understanding of what she wanted. She noticed a lot of times in this industry that it is about recognizing your power and not selling yourself short, it’s kind of like that stupid thing of knowing your worth, and it’s like knowing what you can bring to the table. And I knew that I had more to offer in a more professional capacity.”

There has been much speculation about the return of the popular Netflix Original Anime, Saiki K. Fans have been asking for Saiki K Season 4 for long now. Fortunately, chances for its renewal are pretty likely. In fact, the sequel might only take a few months to be back on the screens. When will it arrive? What will happen next? Here’s everything you need to know.

J.C. Staff’s The Disastrous Life Of Saiki K debuted in Japan back in July 2016. It’s the anime adaptation of a manga series (with the same name) and is illustrated by Shūichi Asō. The 120-episode first season of the show ran for quite long as compared to most animes in recent times. Similarly, the 2018 sequel of the series was massive too. Fans grew attached to the show due to its long run. Thus it is still acknowledged by millions of people around the globe.

In 2019, Netflix announced that they’d be producing an original series continuing the 2016 anime. The ONA (Original Net Animation), called The Disastrous Life Of Saiki K: Reawakened, received much love upon release from the international audience. However, this installment only consisted of 6 episodes released altogether on December 30, 2019. Fans were disappointed with the quantity of the episodes, yet they were pretty impressed with its quality and refreshing setting of the series. The Reawakened installment is called the third season. Hence, fans are now waiting for Saiki K Season 4.

The Disastrous Life Of Saiki K Season 4: Renewal

After being picked up as an ONA, Netflix has a say in the renewal of the anime much more as that J.C. Staff now. As per the looks, there’s hope for the return of another sequel. Unlike both its previous installments, the third season only has six episodes and seems to be a 2-cour installment. Luckily, second cours usually don’t take long to return.

The story of the third season ended on a cliffhanger. This suggests that the creators are already prepared to complete the story with another installment. Besides, there’s already enough demand for Saiki K Season 4. Based on the viewership of Season 3, the upcoming episodes are likely to become equally successful as well. Hence, Netflix is expected to announce a renewal anytime soon. We will update this section as soon as the green flag arrives.

Is There Enough Source Material?

The Disastrous Life Of Saiki K manga series began serialization back in 2012 and continued until August 2018. While the series hasn’t been canceled yet, no new volumes have been released after Volume 26. The 2016 & 2018 anime adaptations covered almost 250 chapters of the manga. Whereas, most of the remaining source material was consumed by The Disastrous Life Of Saiki K: Reawakened.

Hence, Netflix barely has any content for Saiki K Season 4. However, the streamer has previously developed original content for some of its successful shows, and Saiki K might join the list. On the other hand, there’s still hope that the mangaka, Shūichi Asō, resumes writing his brilliant piece of work anytime soon. If that happens, the platform would have to wait for the release of enough manga volumes.

Saiki K Season 4: Release Date

As of now, Netflix, J.C. Staff, or any companies related to the production of anime haven’t confirmed anything about its return. Based on the current situation, the sequel might take a few more months to hit the screens. Currently, a November 2020 release date seems most likely. Keep an eye on this corner for all future updates about Saiki K Season 4.

One of the few things fans were looking for this year was a fresh set of Beastars episodes. Sadly, the highly anticipated Beastars Season 2 has been delayed and shifted to 2021. While many viewers are still frustrated over the delay, others are happy that the anime still has a future. The entire world is currently facing the wrath of the Coronavirus pandemic. The entertainment industry has been struggling as well, with shows and movies getting canceled or delayed.

Beastars is a 2016 manga series written and illustrated by Paru Itagaki. The series gained fame within few months of its debut and was soon picked up for an anime adaptation by Studio Orange. Upon release back in October 2019, the anime became one of the most successful creations by the studio. Orange was pretty confident about the show and took no time to renew it for a sequel.

Beastars Season 2: Renewal Updates!

Many fans still don’t know that Orange announced the renewal of Beastars Season 2 in the end credits of Season 1’s finale episode. After that, the studio confirmed the sequel through its social media platforms. However, the creators faced controversy as Land Of The Lustrous (Houseki no Kuni) fans started protesting against the decision. Its followers argued that the 2017 anime deserved a renewal much more than the recently released Beastars. As of today, there are plenty of petitions demanding the renewal of Land Of The Lustrous Season 2.

Yet, within a few months, Beastars has already gained enough popularity. The new anime has a massive fanbase supporting its return.

What Will Happen Next?

Looking at the way it ended, fans are curious to know what will happen next in the story. The debut installment left us all hanging with several questions in our minds. Well, as per speculations, most of these questions are likely to be answered in the upcoming season.

The story of the anime revolves around Legoshi, a large grey wolf, who is a student at the Cherryton Academy. In this fantasy world, the leading character lives in a dorm with other carnivorous students. He is a member of the school’s drama club and works as a stagehand. The plot of the series develops around a brutal murder of an alpaca, Tem, that messes up the balance between the herbivorous and carnivorous students.

The first season of the series left us all with several questions. The anime is yet to reveal the actual killer of Tem, the alpaca. Aside from the main plotline, we also need to know if Louis, the red deer, survived the attack of the lions (after killing their leader). On the other hand, fans are curious to know if the carnivore wolf, Legoshi ends up with his love interest, the herbivore rabbit, Haru. Most importantly, viewers need to find out who ends up with the ‘Beastar’ title. As per speculations, Beastars Season 2 will be much more exciting than ever before.

Beastars Season 2: Delayed?

When Orange confirmed the renewal of Beastars Season 2, fans expected it to release soon. Rumors claimed that the sequel would premiere sometime around August 2020. However, we are only one month away from the anticipated date, and there are no traces of the new season. According to reports, the production of the anime was affected by the Coronavirus pandemic.

Hence, Studio Orange will now take longer to produce the second season. As per a recent update, the creators have confirmed that Beastars Season 2 will now premiere in 2021. The details about the release are available on the official website of the anime. Hence, the release date of the sequel has been delayed until 2021.

While the creators of the popular anime have confirmed that it will return in 2021, they’re yet to give us a date. Fans may have to wait a little longer to know an exact date. However, speculations say that the sequel might premiere sometime around early to mid-2021. We will update this section with all future updates about the release of Beastars Season 2.

AMC has revealed this year’s schedule for San Diego Comic-Con virtual event, Comic-Con@Home. Fortunately, Fear The Walking Season 6 made its slot in this virtual event with other The Walking Dead series, such as The Walking Dead and its newest series, The Walking Dead: World Beyond. Earlier, it was supposed that San Diego Comic-Con wouldn’t happen due to the current health crisis. In April, Comic-Con international announced that San Diego Comic-Con event was canceled. However, the organization came up with a brilliant concept to rescue the event. Last month they announced Comic-Con would be a virtual event this time, as Comic-Con@Home. So, without any fear, everyone can join the event now.

Fear The Walking Dead, created by Dave Erickson and Robert Kirkman is a post-prophetic horror drama series on AMC. It’s a prequel and companion series to The Walking Dead. The series based on Charlie Adlard, Tony Moore, and Robert Kirkman’s comic book series of the same name. It initially set in Los Angeles, then California, and later in Mexico.

The series followed a socially impaired combined family of Madison Clark, a high school guidance counselor, her fiancé Travis Manawa, an English teacher, her daughter Alicia, and her drug addict son Nick. Later the group joined by Manawa’s son from his former marriage Chris, and his former wife, Liza Ortiz. And then, others also joined their group during the outbreak of the havoc. Now, they are learning survival skills, so that they could survive in such a situation.

Season 6 Joining The Comic-Con@Home

Yesterday, AMC announced that it’s joining San Diego virtual Comic-Con event. Fortunately, The Walking Dead universe save their slot in this virtual event, with its franchise’s original series The Walking Dead, Fear The Walking Dead, and latest series The Walking Dead: World Beyond. They all are ready to participate in the grand SDCC’s first virtual event.

Fear The Walking Dead will represent a panel for its upcoming sixth season that would premiere later this year. The panel will be moderated by Hardwick featuring Gimple, along with the executive producers and showrunners Ian Goldberg and Andrew Chambliss. The panel will also have cast members, including Alycia Debnam-Carey, Lennie James, and Colman Domingo. And also with Ruben Blades, Danay Garcia, Jenna Elfman, and Karen David will be there.

Fear The Walking Dead Season 6: Lennie Discussed Details

Lennie James, who played Morgan’s character, told Digital Spy that there’s no official date scheduled to start filming. James said: “We have no official restart time. But everything is still moving. If we will return. AMC, the network in charge of the show, is in discussion with experts. To find the safest and the best way. And the most practical way. For not just restarting, but restarting safely. And finding a way to remain safe.”

James said that it’s impossible to maintain social distancing (well, you know the series theme). He added: “The specifics of our show mean that we have a slightly different concept. About how we could incorporate, you know social distancing. It’s not possible. Certainly, as far as in front of the camera is concerned.”

Amazon’s fantasy drama, Carnival row is out with the first season. The show was a huge hit. Also, Carnival Row Season 2 is coming. But when? The installment received renewal even before the first season released. However, things haven’t been very happy since then. There have been some problems with the crew, and of course, the world. 

Created by Travis Beacham and René Echevarria, Carnival Row is a fantasy drama set in the backdrop of a Victorian-style era called Burgue. The show features Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne in the lead role. For everybody looking forward to when Carnival Row Season 2 would release, this article is for you. Here are all the details about the possible plot, cast and release date- 

Carnival Row Season 2: Plot Details

The first season of the fantasy drama took on two major plotlines. First was the Darlasher Killings that Philo was investigating. The second was the mystery regarding Philo’s origin. The Philo’s mystery turned out to have some connection with Piety Breakspear and the murders. Later on, everyone also came to know that Chancellor Absalom Breakspear is Philo’s father. The half-fae and half-human creature Philo is torn between the two words. He has to hide his true nature to survive. 

Later, when Jonah Breakspear takes Philo’s father’s place as the new Chancellor, he declares war on all the nonhumans. So many Carnival Row residents are in what was called the concentration camp in the Burgue. Then Philo comes to know about Vignette being on the other side of the barricade. He declares that he is a critch and joins Vignetter and all the other fae in Carnival Row. 

Coming to Carnival Row Season 2, viewers might witness fae’s fight for liberation in the second season of the series. They will fight against Jonah Breakspear and Sophie Longerbane’s new community. In the meantime, the star crossed lovers Agreus Astrayon and Imogen Spurnose will find themselves running with Imogen’s brother Ezra. Amidst the violent altercation, they will have to deal with the aftermath of what happens after the war, the new community and fae are on. It will be exciting how the show retains all the criminal mystery elements with the whole uproar. Carnival Row season 2 will indeed introduce a new case for Vignetter and Philo to solve. 

The Cast and Crew Shakeups

We expect Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne to come back to lead Carnival Row season 2. David Gyasi and Tamzin Merchant are expected to come back in increased capacity for the second installment. They portray Argus and Imogen, respectively. Keeping in mind the finale of the first installment- Arty Froushan and Caroline might be coming in bigger roles for the second season. We can expect new faces to join the cast too. 

There are not many shake-ups on screen, but a lot behind it. In October 2019, Travis Beacham, the showrunner, walked out of the show due to creative differences. Carnival row adopted on a script by Beacham. So, him not being on board can cause series changes for the installment. Along with Beacham, Marc Guggenheim will have stepped back from being the showrunner. Erik Oleson has replaced Guggenheim for Carnival Row Season 2. 

Renewal & Release Date

Amazon renewed Carnival Row Season 2 even before they released the first season. The production company has been trying to create its own library of original content since 2013. Carnival Row is the first fantasy series in it. The show was renewed in July 2019. Then in November 2019, the creators announced that the production for Carnival Row Season 2 had already commenced. The show was expected to release sometime in August 2020. But now, keeping in mind the crew shake-ups and the ongoing global pandemic, we can expect some delay. Fans can hope for the show to hit the screens either later in 2020 or the first half of 2021. 

It has been some time since rumors about Sherlock Season 5 started making rounds. Everybody around the globe has been asking for more. Sherlock has won millions of followers ever since the show released. Now, after four seasons and one special, the show is still in the viewers’ hearts. It is, in fact, one of the best spy thrillers. 

The British crime series- Sherlock is a spin-off detective story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The show first released in 2010. Between four seasons from 2010-2017, the show has had run time of 13 episodes. Now that Sherlock Season 5 could be coming, here are all the details

Creators Hinting About Sherlock Season 5

In an interview a while ago, Gatiss revealed that they have a scope to continue the show. However, they don’t know when it could come back. In another interview, Moffat hinted at the same sentiment. He said that they never said goodbye to Sherlock. So, they will see what they can do. 

Why Is The Show Delayed?

Sherlock Season 5 is quite dependent on cast and crew’s schedule. Both the cast and the writers of the show are busy with many other projects. Benedict Cumberbatch has a plate full of Marvel universe, along with Patrick Melrose and many others. Martin Freeman is also keeping busy with some other projects. So, it could be some time before Sherlock Season 5 returns. 

Sherlock Season 5: The Cast

With all the hints the creators and cast have been dropping, we know that the whole original cast would be coming back. Benedict Cumberbatch will reprise the role of Sherlock when the show returns. Martin Freeman would also come back as Dr. Watson. Louise Brealey, who played Molly Hooper had discussed earlier that she would like to revisit her character. She even revealed that she and Un, who plays Mrs. Hudson discussed it and concluded that they would love to do their characters all over again. So, if a fifth season happens, we can expect the whole original cast to come back. Along with that, we can also expect some new faces to get on board.  

Freeman Reveals They Have Discussed The Show

In an interview, Freeman revealed that if they find a great pitch, they will sign up for the show. However, they are looking for something exceptional. If they find something exciting, they are all open to it. They wouldn’t come back with something quite good. Sherlock isn’t the kind of show. 

He revealed that they had some discussions. All of them, Mark, Steven, the writers and Benedict and Freeman himself. He says that if their schedules match and they come up with something good, Sherlock is happening. 

Writer Tom Bidwell Hints What Could Be Coming Up

Writer Bidwell talks about things they can pursue in Sherlock Season 5. He stated that in Sherlock Holmes’s books, a group of street kids is mentioned. They were the kids who used to help him find clues. So, they could pursue an arc where maybe Sherlock was a drug addict? And the kids were the ones who solved the cases? 

Bidwell also stated that Sherlock is his dream project. He has been pitching the idea for the past ten years. He even revealed that Netflix is quite supportive of their vision and are allowing them to be very ambitious with how they want to tell their stories. 

Renewal & Release Date Status

The network has not yet officially renewed the show. However, with all the hints that cast & crew are dropping, we can expect the show to return sooner or later. The latest installment released in 2017. It has been a long time, so fans are hoping the show comes back sooner. 

We don’t know when the show would come back. Looking at the demand, maybe the creators would renew the show by the end of the year. Let’s be hopeful and expect that Sherlock Season 5 could hit our screens by the end of 2022 or maybe early 2023.

Recently, For Life inspired by the real-life story made quite the headlines for ABC. And now everyone wants to know whether they will see For Life Season 2 or not. The newly debut show got a great response from the fans as well as the critics. According to some reviews, it is one of the finest examples of the transformation of real-life onto the screen. 

For Life is a legal drama TV series. Hank Steinberg created this show for ABC. The plot of this show is an adaptation of the real-life story of Isaac Wright Jr. The series made its debut on February 11, 2020, and the finale episode aired recently on May 12, 2020. It follows Isaac’s journey from his false imprisonment to become a lawyer who helps twenty other people to get rid of their wrong accusations.

Viewership Of The Debut Season!

The inaugural season of the series managed to get a 0.56 demo rating. The show opened with normal response and averaged 2.5 million viewers per week. Out of 10 shows that ABC aired, For Life ranked sixth in demo and ninth position in viewership. It only managed to top the audience of Beauty and the Baker. However, the digital viewership of the show was at the ultimate level. The more the people see the first season, the more they demand the next. 

For Life Season 2: Renewed?

There is a piece of good news for the fans of this series. ABC renewed the show for its second season just two days after the inaugural season ended. The cast and crew of the show were very excited regarding the second season. The show will continue to challenge the legal system and depicts its flaws. Although the series is a fictional drama, everyone knows how great it featured Isaac’s life.

Curtis Jackson, a.k.a. 50 Cent also expressed his feelings on the occasion of the renewal of the show. He said, “For Life Season 2 just got the green light by ABC! It’s more than just a show, it’s a struggle for justice, and we’re keeping the fight advancing. Isaac Wright Jr held up to the system and won his independence, and now more than ever, we need to keep saying the story motivated by his life. Creator Hank Steinberg and his team of writers are ready to resume exploring and revealing the flaws in the system, which is essential now more than ever. I told you it would happen.”

What Do The Creator Has To Say?

The show creator, Hank Steinberg, shows his gratitude towards the whole cast and crew of the series. After the renewal, he said, “It has been a great honor working with Isaac Wright Jr. and Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson to design a show that, through the prism of Isaac’s life in our broken wicked justice system, has been able to focus the racial inequality that bothers this country. The series’ renewal will allow us to continue to do that, and I am very thankful to Sony Pictures Television and ABC for all of their support.”

For Life Season 2: Release Date

Even after the early renewal of the series, the viewers might have to face the hiatus to watch the second season. The creators won’t be able to start working on the following installment because of the production shutdown. The fans can expect For Life Season 2 to premiere on ABC by the end of 2021. 

As we reported earlier- Cobra Kai Season 3 was looking for a new home. It looks like the show has successfully found a place to settle in. For the past few years, Youtube has been changing its original scripted programs to more unscripted ad-based content. So, the streaming service has been canceling many of the scripted series. The only shows not to be canceled were Cobra Kai and Lisa. However, then the word came out that YouTube would cancel Cobra Kai after the third season. This led Sony Pictures trying to secure the show. Now, it looks like they have successfully found a new home. Netflix has picked the show for Cobra Kai Season 3 and beyond. Here is all you need to know regarding the deal- 

Cobra Kai Season 3: What Will Netflix Get Out Of The Deal?

In the new deal with Youtube & Sony Pictures, Netflix will get exclusive rights for Cobra Kai Season 3 along with non-exclusive rights for the first two seasons. Netflix competed with Hulu when the news came out that Sony Pictures was looking for a new streaming service for Kobra Kai Season 3. The leading contenders were shortlisted to Netflix and Hulu, but Netflix has a global reach, massive subscriber base, and passion for the material. Hence the deal was signed, and now Netflix is the new home for Cobra Kai Season 3 and more seasons to come. 

Why Did YouTube Cancel The Show?

After releasing the second season of the show, YouTube renewed Cobra Kai season 3 in April 2019. However, since sometimes, YouTube has been changing a lot of things. While they were committed to release the third season, the streaming platform notified Sony TV partners that they wouldn’t be able to renew Cobra Kai for a fourth installment. To secure the show’s future beyond the third season, Sony started shopping for an outlet that could order additional episodes of the series. 

After the news came out, many streaming giants were keenly interested in the show. One of the main reasons, along with the popularity, was the shortage of such a high end scripted program looking for a streaming outlet in such time when almost all Hollywood productions have paused. A finished season of the show with such a built-in audience could be a gem in this situation. 

Creators Sharing Their Excitement 

The creators of the show- Heald, Hurwitz, and Schlossberg, reveal their excitement about moving to Netflix. In a statement, they stated that creating Cobra Kai was their dream coming true. They are thankful for everybody’s tireless dedication, including Jeff Frost, Jason Clodfelter, Chris Parnell, Karen Tatevosian. In the same statement, they thanked all other partners at Sony for finding them a new home. Now, they can continue the series and also explore new opportunities from The Karate Kid universe. 

The trio revealed that they are beyond excited and looking forward to joining their new partners at Netflix. They are even excited about reaching the massive audience who love the franchise.
