American Gods just kicked off its second season, but Starz has already gone ahead and made it official, announcing that a third season of the Neil Gaiman adaptation has just been greenlit. And there’s more news, too: As was pretty much expected, the show has revealed yet another new showrunner.
While the long-awaited, frequently shifting-behind-the-scenes Snowpiercer TV series could still make its debut this year as promised, a different Snowpiercer-related project is guaranteed: a graphic novel that will serve as a prequel to the original comics and Bong Joon-ho’s 2013 film adaptation.
Longtime io9 readers may have noticed our love for animated Argentinian web series La Frecuencia Kirlian, or Ghost Radio. All five episodes are now on Netflix, which is cause for excitement—as well as an excellent reason to chat up creators Cristian Ponce and Hernán Bengoa.
The clock was ticking on this one, and it finally seems to have happened: a new report says controversial director Bryan Singer will not direct Red Sonja after all.
Black Panther is a fantastic movie for so many reasons—one being that it made certain people notice there were already so many sci-fi and fantasy stories being told outside the default we’d been served for so long. io9 recently spotlighted Marlon James’ Black Leopard, Red Wolf, and now we’ve got another intriguing…
Captain Marvel is finally in theaters. Unsurprisingly, the movie’s doing gangbusters at the box office, and Carol Danvers’ status as one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most powerful heroes has been solidified. But there’s so much more to Carol and Captain Marvel’s story than her cosmic powers and, while we liked…
In my initial review of Fox’s The Passage, I was cautiously optimistic for the Ridley Scott-produced series based on the Justin Cronin novels—and for the most part, it delivered, mixing ticking-clock tension, intriguing characters, and vampire horror. Last night’s two-part finale, though, was a bit of a bust.
The last nugget we got on the long-proposed TV series based on Terry Gilliam’s dark time-travel fantasy Time Bandits came last summer—until today, with a huge update: Taika Waititi has come aboard the in-development Apple series to co-write and direct the pilot.
With The Orville’s very fun second season currently airing on Fox, Seth MacFarlane’s sci-fi series now has another treat waiting for fans that’ll take the cast to yet another new frontier: the pages of a comic book.
Also, the actual title is way cooler than Maleficent 2.
Nature strikes back! That’s the shared theme of these 10 eco-horror movies we’ve compiled in honor of Garbage Week, all tales of terrible punishments that transpire when the environment lashes out against evil, wasteful, and destructive humans. Read on, and be warned: Mother Earth is growing weary of your shit.
There’s never been a shortage of TV witches, but there’s a distinct boom lately with shows like Charmed, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and American Horror Story: Apocalypse. Freeform, home to Siren and Shadowhunters, is jumping on the trend with yet another addition to its “edgy-YA-supernatural” arsenal. It’s called …
We recently posted about the few good sci-fi remakes out there. Now we’re turning our attention to horror—the most remade genre, and the one with the most disappointing results. These eight remakes (all from the last 20 years) don’t best their originals, but at least most will make you shriek in terror rather than…
March is here—damn, that was fast!—and with it, a stack of new sci-fi and fantasy books to add to your reading list, including entries from genre favorites like Cory Doctorow and G. Willow Wilson, plus a new Expanse novel, Tiamat’s Wrath, that was originally supposed to come out in 2018 but is finally on its way. Dig…
The second trailer for Neil Marshall’s R-rated Hellboy reboot is here, and like the first trailer in December, it features glimpses at the main characters (especially David Harbour as you-know-who), and it’s gory and full of monsters. But this trailer’s also got way more of Milla Jovovich’s sinister sorceress,…
The Orville’s first season obviously spent time introducing us to its quirky ensemble, but it also focused a lot on the crew’s wild and often perilous space adventures. Season two, by contrast, has devoted far more energy to developing its characters—and it’s really paid off in rewarding ways for the series.
We already knew DC Universe’s Titans was getting a second season. And, if you watched the entire finale episode of season one, you already had a very good idea of at least one new character joining the ensemble. Now, it’s confirmed, with a casting announcement for Superboy.
We’ve been waiting for a third Gremlins movie for years, but it looks like the next best thing might be on the horizon: an animated series all about the lovable critters (lovable until you feed them after dark, get them wet, or expose them to bright light, that is...then all bets are off).
He was just cast in DC Universe series Stargirl, and then he popped up as an extreme close-talker in a now-inescapable toothpaste ad that debuted during the Super Bowl. But Luke Wilson has a new big-screen project for his suddenly very busy schedule: Zombieland 2, a.k.a. Zombieland: Double Tap.
