• I Know What You Did Last Summer: James Wan just can’t stop making horror. Deadline is now reporting he will direct the pilot episode of the newest 90s horror turned series. In other news, Amazon is turning IKWYDLS into a series on Prime…https://deadline.com/2019/07/neal-h-moritz-re-ups-overall-deal-sony-pictures-tv-1202652994/ Then again… maybe not. Wan just took to Facebook to debunk this as baseless rumor. https://www.joblo.com/movie-news/james-wan-directing-i-know-what-you-did-last-summer-tv-pilot
• Carnivale Row: One MONTH before the premiere of season 1, Amazon has renewed Carnivale Row for a second season. Is Amazon renewing based on hype? Or should we expect a cliffhanger like we got with the boys? https://www.tvguide.com/news/carnival-row-renewed-for-season-2-amazon/
• Lucifer: Fans of the series who were worried about the showrunner not being able to finish in a satisfying way should be happy, Netflix just ordered 6 more episodes to make the final season 16 episodes instead of 10. https://tvline.com/2019/07/26/lucifer-final-season-5-more-episodes-16/
• Walking Dead: The next spin-off of the series, which is still untitled, just got a teaser on Twitter. Are they perhaps also teasing the title of the series? “New World” https://twitter.com/TheWalkingDead/status/1155999655387287557 Or perhaps it is “Monument” which is what seems to be the working title on set in Virginia. https://comicbook.com/thewalkingdead/2019/07/26/walking-dead-spinoff-title-plane-crash-monument-virginia/

• Halloween Kills/ Halloween Ends: Danny McBride said this: "When we first were signed up for it, we were going to originally try to do three movies back-to-back. Ultimately, we were kind of all like let’s make sure we can do this one good. Then when we connected with people, we all decided let’s try to continue what we were going to do." It’s just a continuing story that’s got a beginning, middle and end. I’m excited to begin it. The middle is chaos and the ending is very satisfying. https://www.slashfilm.com/final-halloween-movie/
• Venom 2: Andy Serkis and Travis Knight (Bumblebee) are both in the running to direct the Tom Hardy sequel according to Variety. Sony apparently wants to start filming in the fall. https://variety.com/2019/film/news/andy-serkis-travis-knight-director-possibilities-venom-2-1203281491/
• The Lighthouse: A24 keeps cranking out interesting horror movies. Lighthouse is next in the line and they just posted a new trailer. It is… weird. https://youtu.be/Hyag7lR8CPA
