Less than a week after we reported on the efforts to revive Syfy’s The Expanse, including an airplane banner that was flown above Amazon Studios’ headquarters in California, Amazon Studios has reportedly decided to revive the space drama for a fourth season. That’s according to The Hollywood Reporter, which says that…
A lot of TV shows have been canceled over the past week or so, but Brooklyn Nine-Nine and (to a lesser extent) Last Man Standing have recently proven that a cancellation isn’t necessarily the end of a TV series. With those two shows having already been saved, fans of Syfy’s The Expanse are trying to kickstart a…
In a move that, thus far, hasn’t been generating the same level of online mourning as Fox’s cancellation of Brooklyn Nine-Nine—but is equally disappointing for fans—Deadline reports that Syfy has decided not to renew its critically beloved sci-fi drama The Expanse for a fourth season. “Everyone at Syfy is a massive…
Ever-innovative, Syfy appears to have found the one classic franchise that modern television won’t reboot or revive, with THR reporting today that the Kevin Bacon-led Tremors TV show is officially dead at the NBCUniversal-owned network. That’s kind of a shame, honestly, in so far as Bacon’s continued enthusiasm for…
They say all good things must come to an end, but apparently that old proverb also applies to things that are bad (or maybe so-bad-they’re-good) because TVLine says that Syfy’s Sharknado series will finally end after this summer’s Sharknado 6. We reported earlier this year that the yet-untitled sequel would involve…
Feuding families. A doomed civilization. Star-crossed lovers. A solemn mission that requires time travel. These characters and premises have been used in countless literary works, and they’re also the driving forces behind many successful films and TV shows (if you really want to be efficient, just watch Game Of…
Despite the success of Game Of Thrones, TV networks have been a bit slow to dig through the rest of George R.R. Martin’s literary works in hopes of finding something similarly adaptable. Finally, though, Syfy is here with a trailer for Nightflyers, an adaptation of Martin’s sci-fi/horror novella of the same name. The…
The first season of Channel Zero, Syfy’s horror anthology series, had some aesthetically cool and creepy elements—not surprising for a series based on creepypasta—but it failed to connect emotionally. (A “handsome disappointment,” said the headline of The A.V. Club’s review.) But in its third installment, which…
Swearing on basic cable has always been something of a gray fucking area; while the FCC watches the mainstream networks like a hawk for any signs of f- or s-bombs on their way, it’s always been much more lax when it comes to subscription-based media. Still, most cable networks have Standards & Practices departments…
It looks like Syfy is having a good time with Christopher Meloni’s mad quest for crazy justice alongside his imaginary friend Patton Oswalt the unicorn, as the network has renewed Happy! for a second season just ahead of its first season finale later this week. This comes from Deadline, which says the show has been a…
I’m happy to report that Happy! has bounced back from a weaker episode with a strong offering in “The Scrap Yard of Childish Things.” Nick and Happy went on their separate journeys of realizing they need one another and then reunited for what is presumably a roller coaster ride final two episodes of the season.
When The Magicians returns for its third season tonight, the Brakebills gang will embark on a voyage around the world in an effort to restore magic to Fillory. During a recent set visit, we spoke with most of the cast and asked them to catch us up with their characters and give us a sneak peek of where they’re heading…
The last few trailers for Syfy’s Superman prequel show Krypton haven’t done a very good job explaining what the point of the series is supposed to be. Gotham is ostensibly about the kid who will eventually grow up to be Batman, but Krypton takes place decades before Kal-El is ever born, focusing instead on his…
When they return for their third season this week, The Magicians gang will embark on a voyage around the world in an effort to restore magic to Fillory. In a recent set visit, we spoke with stars Jade Tailor, Stella Maeve, and executive producer Sera Gamble about how living in a world without magic will affect…
Rejoice, Fillorians! Syfy’s The Magicians is poised to return this week for its third season. Naturally, for a show (and book series) called The Magicians, spells play a pretty big part in its mythos. Bringing the spells to life is choreographer Paul Becker, who used finger-tutting as the basis for crafting different…
According to Variety, Syfy has given an unsurprising series order to Nightflyers, a space drama based on a novella of the same name by Game Of Thrones mastermind George R.R. Martin. The show will be about “eight maverick scientists and a powerful telepath” who are traveling through space in a ship called The…
Rejoice, Fillorians! Syfy’s The Magicians is poised to return next week for another season of intricate tut spells, magical Fillorian critters, and general supernatural intrigue. Season two saw Eliot and Margo, played by Hale Appleman and Summer Bishil, struggle in their new roles as High King and Queen Of Fillory. In…
Rejoice, Fillorians! Syfy’s The Magicians is poised to return next week for another season of intricate tut spells, magical Fillorian critters, and general supernatural intrigue. We met up with the cast on set to ask them if they believe in any of this supernatural mumbo jumbo.
Happy! has a lot of things going for it, but one of its best features is the pacing. The first episode hooks us in with its constant action and barrage of frenetic action sequences, then things slow down a bit for two episodes for some character development and actual detective work and now at almost the halfway point…
“When Christmas Was Christmas” is definitely the Happy! episode you want to watch if you have a baby and a little kid at home. It was not at all super upsetting, ha ha ha... sigh.
