Sisterhood Shake Up

Four years after getting the green light, HBO's Dune: The Sisterhood series focusing on the mysterious Bene Gesserit has announced the exit of both its director Johan Renck and one of its leads, Shirley Henderson.

Creator, co-showrunner and writer of the pilot Diane Ademu-John is also departing. Alison Schapker is now showrunning solo.

Coming and Going

Amazon have renewed virtual time travel series The Peripheral for a second season, saying pretty much nothing else on that point.

Finally pushed out of the airlock, however, is HBO's Avenue 5. Deadline reported the series probably finished in May last year well ahead of its season two screening.

WB Roku and Tubi Deal

In a cost-cutting frenzy, Warner Bros. have not just been cancelling shows and films but also removing them from their US streaming service HBO.

They have now struck a deal with Roku and Fox Corp's Tubi to stream some of that content like Westworld.

DC Drops Doom and Titans

DC's Doom Patrol and Titans series have been cancelled with HBO promising that their currently on hiatus (in the US) fourth seasons were written to provide "proper" endings.

The news wouldn't be super surprising to anyone. Four seasons is a solid run for a superhero show and new bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran had heralded intentions to unify the DC universe.

Ozzie Snags a Gross Best

This one contains spoilers. If you haven't watched the second episode of The Last of Us, maybe go do that first.

Said episode includes a moment which struck us as super gross and is unsurprisingly being hailed a worst (as in most disgusting) ever.

The Last of Us Soars

Critical acclaim for HBO's (available in Australia on Binge) series adaptation of fungal zombies post-apocalyptic action adventure game The Last of Us is near universal.

It currently sports a 99% critics and 96% viewer score on Rotten Tomatoes - from 114 and 3157 ratings.

The Very Long Goodbye

More than a year ago we scoffed at the "explanation" clip following the first six episodes of The Nevers, and are surprised to be reading that HBO have freshly cancelled it.

And along with Westworld, it will be removed from their streaming service.

Last Dragon

HBO's upcoming zombie apocalypse drama The Last of Us starring Games of Thrones' Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey just upped the dragon factor in their trailer.

Ending with a giant reptilian thing climbing out of a pit. We don't want to say lizard because its front feet look more like human hands.

Doom Patrol S4

Fresh from HBO is a NSFW kind of fresh trailer for the fourth season of DC's Doom Patrol.

No really. Don't play this one at work. A few of those scenes are potential shockers.

Westworld Done and Dusted

As we were musing over their new Amazon series The Peripheral, HBO announced the cancellation of Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy's Westworld on HBO.

Some are describing the decision as a shock one, but season 4 viewership wasn't strong. Which we attribute to a weaker third season.
