Foundation Concept Art

Creative Bloq interviews Foundation concept artist, Stephan Martiniere.

They discuss the creative process from inception to end result and some of the challenges that entails.

For example, with the sci-fi space becomes increasingly crowded, it likewise becomes much more difficult to create a unique aesthetic for a franchise.

Apple's real world design aesthetic of clean simplicity influenced some of Foundation's concept art.

Foundation Renewed

The Holywood Reporter brings us the news that Apple's Foundation series has been renewed for a second season.

Though they claim that the renewal announcement is slightly faux:

Sources note the drama was actually quietly renewed in November, 2019, in order to keep the expansive production on track.

Lost in Space S3 Trailer

Lost in Space has released a teaser trailer for season 3.

There's not a lot to say about its contents. As advertised, they tease.

Though it does reveal that it will release this December.

Seasons one and two were very solid. Hopefully the third will be equally polished and satisfying.

Three seasons may be a disappointingly short run for a good show but it potentially guarantees Lost in Space instant modern classic status and immense rewatch value.

New Star Trek Docuseries

A new documentary series, The Center Seat, exploring the history of Star Trek has been announced celebrating it's 55th Anniversary.

It promises new, never before seen behind the scenes details.

Don't they always?!

Though if you listen to the interview excerpts in the trailer there are a few new gems.

Brent Spiner (Data):
I still find gold in my, you know, various pores.

Now that's dedication.

Sontarans Invade Liverpool

Radio Times report that the BBC yesterday (October 6 UK) projected an enormous Sontaran ship onto Liverpool's George’s Pier Head as another season 13 teaser.

The BBC have also revealed that Liverpool was chosen for the ship projection because that's where season 13 will begin and where the Doctor will meet a new character played by UK comedian John Bishop.

We still have no news on Doctor Who's release date beyond it being this year.

Eliza Clark Interview

Vulture interview Eliza Clark, showrunner of comic book adaptation Y: The Last Man.

For those unfamiliar with the premise it is neatly described in the title. An event of unknown origin kills every male animal on the planet except for one man and his monkey.

Providing a wonderfully rich fictional world in which to explore the very topical issue of gender.

Doctor Who S13 Teaser

Over the weekend the BBC played an ultra short teaser clip for season 13.

There's nothing new to see in it but this is likely the BBC warming up for release.

Already confirmed for a UK 2021 release there's not much time left anyway but we're still without a date.

There has been no official word for Australia but we would expect a near simultaneous release here.

The Nevers Bonus Clip

CBR have published an exclusive The Nevers bonus clip and article to "explain the intentions of the mysterious extraterrestrial Galanthi."

The fact that they're trying to explain this after the first season has finished demonstrates how flawed the show is.

And the explanation isn't shedding light on unrevealed intentions. The explanation is, "Nah, mate, they're all good. Trust them."

If so that could and should have been demonstrated beyond any doubt in the first season.

The Boys Spinoff

Two new developments have been reported by SYFY Wire about The Boys spinoff.

It will release through Amazon Prime and has new showrunners, Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters.

Fazekas and Butters have a history of producing great TV, eg. Reaper, Agent Carter, Kevin (Probably) Saves the World.

None of their shows have survived past a second season but were all very niche concept programs, and typically competing for ratings on mainstream US Network, ABC.
