Star Wars: Episode IX

Lucasfilm announces that it has decided to delay the release of Star Wars: Episode IX until December 20th, 2019. Initially set for release on May 24th, it’s possible that the studio opted to delay production after having to find a new director to replace Colin Trevorrow. Coincidentally, the new date puts the movie just one week away from Wonder Woman 2.

Vikings

History has opted to go ahead and renew Vikings for an additional sixth season. The move is an especially bold one since the historical drama’s fifth season has yet to premiere. Not only that but the network has committed to 20 new episodes for the proposed season, indicating the amount of confidence the network has in the program’s ability to continue performing well into the future.

The Family Gene

Fox will produce the medical drama The Family Gene from The Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons.

Ride

AMC gives the green light to a third season of Ride.

Glass Houses

ABC is working on a new series from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills‘ Kyle Richards titled Glass Houses.

**** We hired Reggie, fulfilled our obligations to him, and he quit in the middle of covering two TV series w/ no notice and no explanation. He then ignored our emails asking him to complete his coverage (we had no one else to cover those TV shows). He didn't care. We regret hiring him and we regret putting our trust in him. **** An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews. When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
