Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Is Cancelled
Despite bringing in the award for Best Children’s Program at the recent Emmys,
Netflix has decided to can The Dark
Crystal: Age of Resistance after just one season. The puppet show produced
by the Jim Henson Company, was a prequel to the 1982 Jim Henson-directed Dark

off Taron Egerton, Nathalie Emmanuel and Anya Taylor-Joy.

Marvel series will see Bad Boys 3
directing duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah helming and episode or two. The
upcoming Marvel superhero series is based on the character of Ms. Marvel, which was first created in
1977. The superhero boasted powers similar to Captain Marvel with the latest iteration of the hero featuring a
Pakistani-American teenager named Kamala Khan. In all likelihood, Marvel
Studios will focus on the latest version of the character for this new Disney+

To End With Season 6
The CW series Supergirl will
reportedly end with its six season, which is due to air sometime next year. The

this year. Although Supergirl is departing The CW’s Arrowverse, there will be
no shortage of superhero shows to keep fans occupied. The channel still has The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow and Black
Lightning as well as the upcoming Superman
and Lois series and a newly-cast Batwoman, which should keep fans happy.
