The future of Netflix’s beloved coming-of-age series Heartstopper has been uncertain since Season 3 wrapped up, but we finally know what’s next. The streaming giant won’t renew it for Season 4, and they’re planning to conclude Nick and Charlie’s love story with a Netflix movie.

Alice Oseman, who created this series based on her own graphic novel of the same name, announced its story will conclude with a feature-length film.

“I am completely overjoyed that we will get to tell the end of the Heartstopper story. I’m so grateful to everyone who has worked hard to make this possible and to the incredible fans of Heartstopper for your patience and passion. I cannot wait to bring this story to a magical conclusion,” said Oseman in a statement. 

The final chapter of the Heartstopper story will see Nick and Charlie struggling with the reality of a long-distance relationship, as Nick prepares to leave for university, while Charlie is finding new independence at school.

In addition to Kit Connor and Joe Locke as Nick and Charlie, the cast of Heartstopper also included Yasmin Finney, Tobie Donovan, Jenny Walser, Corinna Brown, Kizzy Edgell, Rhea Norwood, and Olivia Colman. Netflix is yet to announce who’ll be back for the feature-length film.

The first full trailer was unveiled at the SXSW, and the cast and crew of The Last of Us dropped some hints about the show’s next chapter while attending the festival.

Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey will return as Joel and Ellie in Season 2, and there’s going to be a lot of tension and distance between them in the show’s next chapter. They’ll be joined by Gabriel Luna, Kaitlyn Dever, Rutina Wesley, Isabela Merced, Young Mazino, Ariela Barer, Tati Gabrielle, Spencer Lord Owen, Danny Ramirez, Jeffrey Wright, and Catherine O’Hara.

We’ve seen many Hollywood veterans make a transition to television in recent years, and Robert De Niro will soon follow suit. He’ll play his first major TV role in the Netflix series Zero Day, and the first trailer sees him searching for those responsible for a tragic cyberattack.

De Niro will lead this limited series in the role of former President George Mullen, who’s charged with finding the perpetrators of a devastating cyberattack while serving on the Zero Day Commission.

“Disinformation runs rampant and the personal ambitions of power brokers in technology, Wall Street, and government collide. Mullen’s unwavering search for the truth forces him to confront his own dark secrets while risking all he holds dear,” reads Netflix’s official logline.

The cast of this project is one star-studded affair, and it also includes Angela Bassett, Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemons, Joan Allen, Connie Britton, and Matthew Modine, plus Bill Camp, Dan Stevens, Gaby Hoffmann, Clark Gregg, and McKinley Belcher III in guest roles.

Zero Day was created for Netflix by Eric Newman (Narcos), Noah Oppenheim (Jackie), and the Pulitzer Prize winner Michael S. Schmidt. De Niro is joining them as one of the executive producers along with Lesli Linka Glatter (Homeland), who directed all six episodes, set to premiere on Netflix on February 20, 2025.

Mayor of Kingstown has gone through many ups and downs over the years, but its future is finally looking bright! Paramount+ renewed the hit crime drama starring Jeremy Renner for its fourth season after months of speculations about its potential next chapter.

Season 3 of Mayor of Kingstown debuted on Paramount+ this summer, and its future has been uncertain since it ended its run in August. Rumors about its potential renewal started circling around in October when Paramount+ opened a writers’ room for Season 4, but it took a few months for the streamer to officially confirm that the Mayor is coming back for another ride.

Mayor of Kingstown stars Renner as Michael “Mike” McLusky, whose family has been keeping the peace between the street gangs, prisoners, guards, and cops in Kingstown for decades. The show’s third season took place in the wake of a series of explosions that rocked Kingstown and its citizens to their core.

In addition to Renner in the lead role, the supporting cast of this series includes Hugh Dillon, Tobi Bamtefa, Taylor Handley, Derek Webster, and Nichole Galicia. Taylor Sheridan co-created Mayor of Kingstown for Paramount+ with Dillon, and they both serve as executive producers alongside Renner and Dave Erickson, who’s also the showrunner of this crime drama.

Many beloved 2000s dramas have been rebooted in recent years, and it seems that Prison Break is the next one in line. A potential reboot series has landed a pilot order at Hulu, and it will reportedly center on a new crew of inmates instead of reuniting us with the characters from the original series.

Mayans M.C. co-creator and showrunner Elgin James will be in charge of bringing the pilot to life. In addition to creating this series for Hulu, he’s also coming on board as one of the executive producers alongside the Prison Break creator Paul Scheuring, plus Dawn Olmstead, Marty Adelstein, and Neal Moritz.

James’ new take on Prison Break won’t be a remake or a sequel of the original series, but a brand-new show set in the same universe. The characters from the original jailhouse drama aren’t expected to return, as the reboot shifts focus to a new crew of inmates.

Prison Break centered on Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) as he tries to help his brother Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) to escape prison and clear his name after being sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit. The original series ran on Fox for five seasons and later produced a low-budget spin-off Prison Break: Proof of Innocence.

We’ve seen many Hollywood veterans make a transition to television in recent years, and Robert De Niro will soon follow suit. He’ll play his first major TV role in the Netflix series Zero Day, and the first trailer sees him searching for those responsible for a tragic cyberattack.

De Niro will lead this limited series in the role of former President George Mullen, who’s charged with finding the perpetrators of a devastating cyberattack while serving on the Zero Day Commission.

“Disinformation runs rampant and the personal ambitions of power brokers in technology, Wall Street, and government collide. Mullen’s unwavering search for the truth forces him to confront his own dark secrets while risking all he holds dear,” reads Netflix’s official logline.

The cast of this project is one star-studded affair, and it also includes Angela Bassett, Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemons, Joan Allen, Connie Britton, and Matthew Modine, plus Bill Camp, Dan Stevens, Gaby Hoffmann, Clark Gregg, and McKinley Belcher III in guest roles.

Zero Day was created for Netflix by Eric Newman (Narcos), Noah Oppenheim (Jackie), and the Pulitzer Prize winner Michael S. Schmidt. De Niro is joining them as one of the executive producers along with Lesli Linka Glatter (Homeland), who directed all six episodes, set to premiere on Netflix on February 20, 2025.

Mayor of Kingstown has gone through many ups and downs over the years, but its future is finally looking bright! Paramount+ renewed the hit crime drama starring Jeremy Renner for its fourth season after months of speculations about its potential next chapter.

Season 3 of Mayor of Kingstown debuted on Paramount+ this summer, and its future has been uncertain since it ended its run in August. Rumors about its potential renewal started circling around in October when Paramount+ opened a writers’ room for Season 4, but it took a few months for the streamer to officially confirm that the Mayor is coming back for another ride.

Mayor of Kingstown stars Renner as Michael “Mike” McLusky, whose family has been keeping the peace between the street gangs, prisoners, guards, and cops in Kingstown for decades. The show’s third season took place in the wake of a series of explosions that rocked Kingstown and its citizens to their core.

In addition to Renner in the lead role, the supporting cast of this series includes Hugh Dillon, Tobi Bamtefa, Taylor Handley, Derek Webster, and Nichole Galicia. Taylor Sheridan co-created Mayor of Kingstown for Paramount+ with Dillon, and they both serve as executive producers alongside Renner and Dave Erickson, who’s also the showrunner of this crime drama.

Many beloved 2000s dramas have been rebooted in recent years, and it seems that Prison Break is the next one in line. A potential reboot series has landed a pilot order at Hulu, and it will reportedly center on a new crew of inmates instead of reuniting us with the characters from the original series.

Mayans M.C. co-creator and showrunner Elgin James will be in charge of bringing the pilot to life. In addition to creating this series for Hulu, he’s also coming on board as one of the executive producers alongside the Prison Break creator Paul Scheuring, plus Dawn Olmstead, Marty Adelstein, and Neal Moritz.

James’ new take on Prison Break won’t be a remake or a sequel of the original series, but a brand-new show set in the same universe. The characters from the original jailhouse drama aren’t expected to return, as the reboot shifts focus to a new crew of inmates.

Prison Break centered on Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) as he tries to help his brother Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) to escape prison and clear his name after being sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit. The original series ran on Fox for five seasons and later produced a low-budget spin-off Prison Break: Proof of Innocence.
