In a blow that truly hurts, Netflix has reversed its decision to renew the half-hour series GLOW for a fourth and final season and has instead decided to cancel the show altogether. While the series was never as big as something like Stranger Things, it was critically acclaimed and its fans were eager to see how the story of these amateur female wrestlers from the 80s would conclude. Alas, we won’t get that chance. The decision to change course and cancel GLOW came about as a result of the COVID-19 shutdown. The series had completed filming one …

In what will sadly not be the last of these kinds of reversals, ABC decided yesterday to cancel the Cobie Smulders dramedy series Stumptown despite having renewed the show for Season 2 earlier this year. ABC Signature, the studio behind the show, plans to shop it around to hopefully find it a new home. The reason for the cancellation is partly COVID.

Spearheaded by Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass, Stardust) and starring Naomi Watts, the prequel took place 5,000 years before the events of Game of Thrones and was said to focus on the “Age of Heroes,” which saw humans battling the White Walkers for the first time. It’s unclear why HBO decided not to pick the pilot up to series, but it’s an unexpected move. The network began developing further Game of …

We have wall-crawler whiplash!

And you thought Green Book was a surprise. This year's Best Picture winner should hold Shakespeare's ale, because in 1999 an artsy piece of erudite fan fiction about the Bard's young career took down none other than Steven Spielberg himself. Here's the dirty little secret: it should have. Shakespeare in Love is a better film than Saving Private Ryan.
