Stranger Breakings

The second volume of season four of Stranger Things released this week and may have temporarily broken Netflix as eager fans tried to stream it.

Of more interest though is the series breaking a Nielsen record of 7.2 billion minutes viewed in a single week (May 30 - June 5).

Paper Girls Teaser

Amazon have released a very short teaser for their upcoming Paper Girls series.

Which only scratches the surface of what we've suggested could be one of the more thought-provoking sci-fi series on the way to our screens.

Fallout Casting

As Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy's Westworld seemingly flounders, we hear casting news for one of their two upcoming Amazon sci-fi series, Fallout.

Kyle MacLachlan who played Paul Atreides in the 1984 Dune film and Quake / Daisy's insane father in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has joined Fallout's cast in an unspecified role.

A Variety article details the entertainment industry's response to the previously leaked US Supreme Court ruling which overturns Roe v. Wade, allowing states to institute abortion bans.

Most of the entertainment majors now offer some form of financial support for staff to travel interstate to access abortions.

Night Sky in Space

This is about a week old now - apologies for our tardiness - but when Amazon's Night Sky series launched on Prime Video, the series was also launched into space.

They're calling it Earth's first intergalactic TV series premiere.

The Hospital

Reading the synopsis for a newly announced animated sci-fi comedy The Hospital picked up by Amazon, our first thought was, how has this never been done before?

Television shows set in hospitals are so prolific that one day they may outnumber actual hospitals so it's a genre over-ripe for sending up.

The Boys S3 Trailer

Courtesy of Amazon, we now have a trailer for The Boys season 3 and it clears up the mystery from their earlier teaser - Billy's superpowers.

We particularly appreciate the opening with Homelander repeatedly spewing carefully crafted and sanitised sound bytes to distance himself from his season 2 Nazi signifant other.
