Continuing to show just how out of touch they truly are, the executives at Warner Bros. have decided to pull the plug on the DC Universe streaming series, Swamp Thing, cancelled it after just a single episode has aired. The decision was believed to have been made after executives weren’t keen on the direction the series had taken. The cast and crew supposedly received the notification of the cancellation of the series late last night.
The series premiered on May 31st, to generally positive reviews, making it unclear why the studio was so low on the adaptation. Swamp Thing will supposedly run out the remainder of its filmed episodes with the second episode premiering on June 7th.
UPDATE: It would seem creative differences were not the issue, after all. After a $40 million rebate filming rebate debacle in North Carolina with Warner Bros., the studio would only be getting a $14 million tax credit, which slashed nearly half the budget for Swamp Thing, making it unable to maintain its budget for a niche series. For more information, check out this Twitter thread.
Netflix and Marvel Studios have released the first, full trailer for the final season of Jessica Jones. The new trailer gives us our first look at the villain of the piece, Gregory Salinger, who believes Jessica Jones to be a fraud and false-hero, who plans to expose her for what she truly is.
“When Jessica (Krysten Ritter) crosses paths with a highly intelligent psychopath, she and Trish (Rachael Taylor) must repair their fractured relationship and team up to take him down. But a devastating loss reveals their conflicting ideas of heroism and sets them on a collision course that will forever change them both.”
The final season of Jessica Jones hits Netflix on June 14th.
Netflix is continuing its expansion of massive animated series with its newest announcement, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous.

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous follows a group of six teenagers chosen for a once-in-a-lifetime experience at a new adventure camp on the opposite side of Isla Nublar. But when dinosaurs wreak havoc across the island, the campers are stranded. Unable to reach the outside world, they’ll need to go from strangers to friends to family if they’re going to survive.
Amazon has revealed the first teaser trailer for their upcoming eight-episode series, Carnival Row, starring Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne, as an inspector and a fairy, respectively, who work together to stop a series of murders in Carnival Row. The series explores the tensions between the human citizens and the increasing population of mythical creatures in the city after fleeing their homeland.
As well as Bloom and Delevingne, the cast includes David Gyasi (Interstellar), Karla Crome (Misfits), Indira Varma (Game of Thrones), and Tamzin Merchant (Salem). Carnival Row premieres on August 30th, 2019.
After wrapping up what looks on track to become the biggest movie in box office history, The Russo Brothers are moving on to their next project: a Magic: The Gathering animated series for Netflix. Netflix announced the series as part of a new partnership between the streaming giant and Hasbro’s Allspark Studios. While details are scarce as of right now, we know the series will follow the Planeswalkers, legendary spellcasting heroes and villains that traverse the multiverse doing battle.
Hopefully we’ll learn more soon as this could easily become something massive for Netflix if handled well. Magic still has quite a fan-base and in the right hands could be great.
With its upcoming DC Universe streaming debut this Friday, the service has revealed a new, full trailer for Swamp Thing giving us our best look yet at what to expect from the horrors of the swamp. A better look at the disease the draws Abby Arcane home, as well as Dr. Jason Woodrue, Madame Xanadu, and even a quick shot of Blue Devil. With all of this to look forward to, Swamp Thing looks to be something special.
“Swamp Thing” centers on CDC researcher Abby Arcane (Reed). When she returns to her childhood home of Houma, Louisiana, in order to investigate a deadly swamp-borne virus, she develops a surprising bond with scientist Alec Holland — only to have him tragically taken from her. But as powerful forces descend on Houma, intent on exploiting the swamp’s mysterious properties for their own purposes, Abby will discover that the swamp holds mystical secrets, both horrifying and wondrous — and the potential love of her life may not be dead after all.
The final season of Jessica Jones, the last Marvel streaming series on Netflix, just got a teaser trailer and an official release date: June 14th.

Additionally, the first plot synopsis can be seen below.
“When Jessica (Krysten Ritter) crosses paths with a highly intelligent psychopath, she and Trish (Rachael Taylor) must repair their fractured relationship and team up to take him down. But a devastating loss reveals their conflicting ideas of heroism and sets them on a collision course that will forever change them both.”
The excitement around the upcoming Disney+ series, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, skyrocketed after the conclusion of Avengers: Endgame. Now, we have our first details on the series from Deadline, and they promise something special. First off, Daniel Bruhl and Emily Van Camp are both returning to reprise their Captain America: Civil War roles as Baron Von Zemo and Sharon Carter, respectively. Additionally, Emmy-nominated, BAFTA award-winning director Kari Skogland has signed on to direct all 6 episodes of the mini-series.
While not 100% confirmed, it would seem that (Spoiler Warning) Sam Wilson taking on the mantle of Captain America will be a key point in the series. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier will premiere on Disney+ in August 2020.

With The CW’s DC Universe shows wrapping up their seasons through the next few weeks, The CW has ramped up promotion for their upcoming Ruby Rose-starring Batwoman series. Batwoman has been ordered to series, and is set to premiere later this year, and to celebrate we now have our first few images from the series, including a look at the Arrow-verse batsuit. You can hit the jump to view the photos, and read the extra long synopsis for Batwoman below.
“Kate Kane (Ruby Rose) never planned to be Gotham’s new vigilante. Three years after Batman mysteriously disappeared, Gotham is a city in despair. Without the Caped Crusader, the Gotham City Police Department was overrun and outgunned by criminal gangs. Enter Jacob Kane (Dougray Scott) and his military-grade Crows Private Security, which now protects the city with omnipresent firepower and militia. Years before, Jacob’s first wife and daughter were killed in the crossfire of Gotham crime. He sent his only surviving daughter, Kate Kane, away from Gotham for her safety. After a dishonorable discharge from military school and years of brutal survival training, Kate returns home when the Alice in Wonderland gang targets her father and his security firm, by kidnapping his best Crow officer Sophie Moore (Meagan Tandy).
“Although remarried to wealthy socialite Catherine Hamilton-Kane (Elizabeth Anweis), who bankrolls the Crows, Jacob is still struggling with the family he lost, while keeping Kate –– the daughter he still has –– at a distance. But Kate is a woman who’s done asking for permission. In order to help her family and her city, she’ll have to become the one thing her father loathes –– a dark knight vigilante. With the help of her compassionate stepsister, Mary (Nicole Kang), and the crafty Luke Fox (Camrus Johnson), the son of Wayne Enterprises’ tech guru Lucius Fox, Kate Kane continues the legacy of her missing cousin, Bruce Wayne, as Batwoman. Still holding a flame for her ex-girlfriend, Sophie, Kate uses everything in her power to combat the dark machinations of the psychotic Alice (Rachel Skarsten), who’s always somewhere slipping between sane and insane. Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate soars through the shadowed streets of Gotham as Batwoman. But don’t call her a hero yet. In a city desperate for a savior, she must first overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope.”

We now have our first official look at the upcoming HBO series, Watchmen, that will serve as a sequel to the iconic graphic novel of the same name.

With no exact date set, Watchmen will premiere this fall on HBO, as the cable giant hopes to fill the void left by a departing Game of Thrones. Damon Lindelof serves as creator, writer, showrunner, and executive producer on Watchmen, with Tom Spezialy, Stephen Williams, and Joseph Iberti also executive producing.
