Even now, many fans consider the show a science fiction masterpiece of the 21st century. Though it continued briefly with the movie Serenity and in comic books, people have long hoped for a full revival. Could that finally be happening? Recent posts on Instagram from the podcast Once We Were Spacemen, hosted by stars Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk, show Fillion visiting other cast members from the show – Gina Torres, Morena Baccarin, Sean Maher, Summer Glau, and Jewel Staite. In the videos, he simply tells them, “it’s time,” leaving fans to wonder what that means.

Next month, the pirate adventure series Black Sails—a fantastic, though often overlooked, show from Starz—will no longer be available on Netflix. A prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, the show originally aired from 2014 to 2017 and many consider it the best pirate series since Pirates of the Caribbean. While its popularity has grown over the last ten years, it still doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. You’ll have until April 16th to watch it on the streaming service.

GungHo Online Entertainment and Grasshopper Manufacture have announced that the online game Let It Die will no longer be available after August 31st. This affects players on both PlayStation and PC, as the free-to-play hack-and-slash game was released on both platforms. While it wasn’t available on any other consoles, including the PS5, it is playable on PS5 through backward compatibility.

According to a LinkedIn post from CEO Mark Gerhard, the company is laying off an unspecified number of employees due to the game’s poor performance after its launch last year.

Here are the details:

Okay, so what’s really cool about this is the bullets bounce! You can shoot at the ground or walls, and they’ll actually hit enemies behind cover. It’s probably not the most effective way to fight, but when you’re really hurting and your shields are down, it can seriously save your life. I’m also hoping there’s some kind of upgrade or ability that makes bounced shots even more powerful – that would be awesome!

You earn account levels just by playing the game. Each match gives you XP, and leveling up unlocks a skill point you can use to improve your character. Accounts start at level 0 and can reach a maximum of level 100. The first level gives you five skill points, then each level after that gives you one, up to level 40. This means you can earn a total of 44 skill points. These points can be spent in one of four skill branches: Raider, Treasure Hunter, Harvester, and Protector.

Ira Parker, the showrunner for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, has talked about a long-term vision for the series – potentially lasting up to 15 seasons. The idea is to run the show for 4 or 5 seasons, pause for about ten years, then return for another run, and finally conclude with a final set of seasons after another decade-long break. While incredibly ambitious – it would take at least 30 years to finish – Parker believes this approach would allow the show and its two central characters to receive the satisfying conclusion they deserve.

I was so thrilled to see Jamie Lee Curtis post a picture from the set of The Bear! It seems like they’ve wrapped filming, and it’s officially the final season. She mentioned being surrounded by an incredible team – the writers, producers, and everyone involved in bringing this amazing family’s story to life. She later confirmed it in an interview with Access Hollywood, seeming a little surprised by the reaction! She basically said everyone already knew it was the last season, and she’d be surprised if anyone came to her saying she shouldn’t have mentioned it. Honestly, while I’m sad it’s ending, I’m so grateful for the journey and can’t wait to see how it all wraps up!

Currently, Hell’s Paradise Season 2 is the top-rated anime according to fans. In fact, its last three episodes have received higher scores on IMDb than recent episodes of both Jujutsu Kaisen and Frieren. Each of those Hell’s Paradise episodes has an IMDb rating above 9, while Frieren‘s recent episodes haven’t reached that level, and only one episode of Jujutsu Kaisen has scored above a 9. This success is a bit surprising, but Hell’s Paradise Season 2 seems to have found a winning combination that’s really connecting with viewers, making it a standout anime right now.
