Sci Fi TV News of Note:
The BBC has acquired the eight-episode French alternate history series The Sentinels, which is based on the graphic novels Les Sentinelles by Xavier Dorison and Enrique Breccia . Following is the synopsis for the series:
At the outbreak of World War I, Gabriel Ferraud – a gravely wounded soldier – is recruited into a top-secret French military program designed to create the ultimate weapon: enhanced humans. After being injected with a mysterious serum, Gabriel gains extraordinary strength, speed, and resilience. He joins an elite unit known as the Sentinels – augmented soldiers forged for the front lines. But as the war intensifies, Gabriel uncovers a terrifying truth that could alter the fate of the conflict.
It stars Louis Peres, Thibaut Evrard, Kacey Mottet-Klein, Carl Malapa, Olivia Ross, and Ouassini Embarek, and it comes from Studiocanal. It will be available on iPlayer and BBC Four later this year, and there is no word at this point if it will air on BBC America in the States.
The upcoming Amazon series Spider-Noir has released a featurette focusing on the villains that the hero will face in the shows’ upcoming premiere season. Those include Silvermane (Brendan Gleeson), Sandman (Jack Huston), Tombstone (Abraham Popoola), and Megawatt (Andrew Lewis Caldwell). The title character is played by Nicholas Cage, and the show is set for a May 27th premiere.
Amazon just announced that its spin-off to The Boys, Gen V, will not be continuing to a third season. Several of the characters from that show are appearing in the fifth and final season of the parent series, and word is that they may show up in future projects in the franchise.
In production news, work has begun on a second season of Hulu’s The Testaments, a sequel series to The Handmaid’s Tale, even though it has not received an official renewal yet. You can read more about that in the latest Sci Fi TV Production Report.
In scheduling news, the third season of Apple TV’s Silo has received a premiere date of July 3rd (you can see the teaser for that below). Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 will have its premiere on July 23rd, and you can see the trailer for that at this link. In addition, Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 3 is on track to premiere later this year.
