The Devil in Silver
AMC is also developing a TV series from Christopher Cantwell adapting David LaValle’s novel, The Devil in Silver. The series will focus on Pepper, “a working-class man from Queens who, through a combination of bad luck and a bad temper, finds himself wrongfully committed to a psychiatric hospital. There, he must contend with other patients, doctors who harbor dark secrets of their own, and perhaps even a true and even more terrifying evil.” [Deadline]
YOLO: Crystal Fantasy/SIlver Destiny
Comic Book also reports a second season of YOLO: Crystal Fantasy is now in development at Adult Swim under the title YOLO: Silver Destiny.
Resident Alien
In conversation with ScreenRant, Alan Tudyk confirmed filming on the third season of Resident Alien begins this January in Vancouver.
Yeah, we still have a little time. It’ll be January, but it’s coming up. Right when it gets cold in Vancouver and the rain is the thickest, is the heaviest and the most unceasing. But I’ll be good. Vancouver is just a beautiful place I love, you kind of get used to the rain in a way that I never thought was possible. You just kind of stopped noticing, that’s great.
Quantum Leap
Meanwhile, showrunner Martin Gero confirmed to Collider he’s still hoping Scott Bakula will agree to return for his Quantum Leap reboot.
I will respectfully always ask him to do the show. I have a very, very good idea that Deborah (Pratt) knows about and that Don (Bellisario) knows about. I think it could be really exciting. But I also completely respect his wishes. He knows our enthusiasm for him. He knows our enthusiasm, our love, and our reverence for the old show. It’s a no right now. It would be pretty amazing to have him back, but I don’t know what that timeline looks like, or even if it’s possible. I wanna be able to call his managers just enough where they feel like I want him on the show, but not enough where they’re like, ‘This is a possible stalker situation. We need to alert the authorities.’ We would all love for that to happen, but we completely honor and respect his wishes.
In the meantime, Ben leaps into the body of a Las Vegas boxer in the trailer for next week’s episode.
Loki
In conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Tom Hiddleston stated the TVA will face “a battle for [its very] soul” in the second season of Loki.
Season 2’s kind of a challenge of a question asked of the TVA itself, a battle for the soul of the TVA.
