Sci Fi TV News of Note:
Greg Berlanti, who created the Arrow-verse for The CW, has another comic book adaptation he is working on with Stillwater which is based on the Skybound comic book of the same name by Chip Zdarsky and Ramon K. Perez. Following is the official logline of the series provided by Variety:
When ex-con Daniel West receives a mysterious letter promising answers about his past and a substantial inheritance in the small town of Stillwater, he discovers a community where nothing ever ages, no one ever dies, and nobody ever gets out.
The Walking Dead‘s Robert Kirkman will be onboard as executive producer and this is in the works at Amazon Studios, likely headed to Prime Video.
In production news, filming has wrapped on Silo Season 3 which should have it on track to premiere later this year. And filming has begun on Ahsoka Season 2 with that one likely looking at a 2026 premiere. Meanwhile, Netflix’s 3 Body Problem is shooting its second and third seasons back-to-back, but it will be later in 2027 at the earliest before that show returns with new episodes.
Perennial character actor Stephen Root (Office Space, The Man in the High Castle) will be joining Resident Alien as Harry’s father in the show’s fourth season, and that is set to premiere June 6th on USA and Syfy. You can see the trailer for that below.
