With Gotham heading in to its final season it’s to be expected that the cast and crew will begin to look for new projects. However nobody expected the announcement that Cannon and Heller have been working on a spin-off of sorts. Last night Pennyworth was officially announced to air on cable network Epix. The 10-episode series will act as a history lessor for the character of Alfred. Slated to premiere in 2019 it seems like an interesting new chapter in the Batman pantheon is about to…

Another blow to fans of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. this morning. During a conference calls with the press yesterday ABC chief Channing Dungey confirmed the series won’t return until Summer 2019. No further information was given on when the show might return to screens. Summer would suggest we won’t see the 13 episode sixth season until after the 2018/19 broadcast season wraps up. On a brighter note Dungey told the press that the network currently has ‘no plans’ to end the series at six seasons: “I think the last season we just had, Season 5, was their creatively strongest yet,” she…

The embargo has lifted. We now know the critics thoughts and feelings on Deadpool 2. Whilst largely positive there are some broad criticisms of the film. Many praise the humour for tackling challenging subjects but feel there’s little to feel different from the first film.
