Sci Fi TV News of Note:
Blumhouse has picked up the BOOM! Studios comic Something Is Killing the Children. It will be producing a film that will hit the big screen along with an adult animated television series. The Hollywood Reporter gives the following description for the property:
Children’s first story arc told of a town plagued by monsters that feast on children, with one teen survivor telling tales that no adult believes. Enter: a mysterious young woman named Erica Slaughter. The woman, who occasionally converses with her stuffed animal, isn’t there to mince words, but rather to mince monsters. The stories since have opened up a world that includes a monster-killing cabal and its sinister politics.
The animated series will be helmed by comic co-creator James Tynion IV. No network or streaming service is attached at this point, but this one should draw some interest.
The third season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds received some criticism for some of the big swings it took, but it sounds like the next two seasons will rein things back in a bit. While a puppet episode is on the slate for Season 4, co-showrunner Akiva Goldsman commented that there will be fewer outliers over the next two seasons:
We’re making season 5 now, we’re trending towards that, which is probably the center line of Star Trek, right? We’re trending now, and beginning with season 4 and through season 5, to a much more singular sci-fi, action-adventure, emotional storytelling. And you know, the outliers are getting less and less, as we kind of focus on saying goodbye to each other and the fans.
This will certainly come as good news to some fans who feel like the show went off the rails far too much the last couple of seasons. The fourth season of the show is set to arrive at some point in 2026, and the fifth and final season will likely premiere a year after that.
The fifth and final season of Stranger Things is set to premiere on Netflix November 26th, and that fan-favorite series will be getting a big screen send-off. The first half of the fifth season will stream in November and the second half arrives December 25th with the season finale set for December 31st. That episode will also be available in AMC theaters the same day. So for those wanting to make the finale a big event, they can head to the theaters to watch the show wrap up.
In production news, filming has wrapped on Mike Flanagan’s mini-series adaptation of Carrie at Prime Video. That should have the show on track for a 2026 premiere.
