Neil Gaiman confirms that The Sandman has not been renewed for a second season... yet. Yellowjackets has cast Elijah Wood as a “citizen detective.” The Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot has been put on ice, and Primal leans into the supernatural. Spoilers ahead!
National Treasure 3
In a recent interview with ComicBook, Jerry Bruckheimer stated Chris Bremmer’s script for National Treasure 3 is “really good”:
We’re working on the script right now. Hopefully [Cage] likes it, but it’s really good. So I think we’ll get it to him shortly.
Yellowjackets
TV Line reports Elijah Wood has joined the cast of Yellowjackets’ second season as Walter, “a dedicated Citizen Detective who will challenge Christina Ricci’s Misty in ways she won’t see coming.”
Black Mirror
According to Variety, Salma Hayek Pinault and Annie Murphy are now attached to star in episodes of Black Mirror’s sixth season.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law
In a recent interview with THR, Tatiana Maslany described an upcoming She-Hulk cameo as “the greatest moment of her life.”
No, I want that out! I really want everyone to see it because it was the greatest day of my life. It was the greatest moment of my life.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
TV Line also has word the previously announced Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot from Monica Owusu-Breen is now “on pause.”
The Sandman
Neil Gaiman also confirmed Netflix is not currently committed to future seasons of The Sandman.
The Dead Boy Detectives
However, The Dead Boy Detectives is allegedly still “moving forward” at HBO Max.
Resident Alien
Executive Producer Chris Sheridan promised TV Line that Alan Tudyk’s character Harry will finally share a scene with both Linda Hamilton’s General McCallister and Enver Gjokaj’s alien Joseph before the end of season two.
Harry, by the end of the season, will come face-to-face with both of them at one point or another. Enver Gjokaj [who plays the E.T. Joseph] and Linda Hamilton [who plays McCallister] (and Alan, of course) are such great actors that it’s exciting to think about being able to do scenes with Alan and Enver together, or Alan and Linda together. It would be foolish to not take advantage of that. So there’s more to come in the second half of the season.
Primal
Primal continues to embrace the paranormal in a sneak peek at this week’s episode.
The Winchesters
The CW has also released a full, three-minute trailer for its upcoming Supernatural prequel, The Winchesters.
House of the Dragon

The Last of Us
