Amazon Prime Video’s animated superhero series just dropped a teaser trailer for season two at San Diego Comic-Con, and you can watch it right here.

From the summary for Invincible S2:
The story revolves around 18-year-old Mark Grayson (voiced by Steven Yeun), who’s just like every other guy his age—except his father (J.K. Simmons) is (or was) the most powerful superhero on the planet. Still reeling from Nolan’s betrayal in Season 1, Mark struggles to rebuild his life as he faces a host of new threats, all while battling his greatest fear - that he might become his father without even knowing it.
Joining the Season 2 cast are Sterling K. Brown, Peter Cullen, Rob Delaney, Calista Flockhart, Phil LaMarr, Luke MacFarlane, Tatiana Maslany, Scott McNairy, Jay Pharoah, Ella Purnell, Tim Robinson, Ben Schwartz, Rhea Seehorn, Lea Thompson, Paul F. Tompkins, Shantel VanSanten, and more.
AMC’s surprisingly great adaptation of Interview With the Vampire is coming back for season 2 next year, but in the mean time you can check out this brief glimpse at the all-important Théâtre des Vampires and how it relates to Lestat.
I know it’s bold to say the pizza in the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the best looking pizza in animation, but it always looked so cheesy. Gooey. It just looked like they were having a better time eating pizza than I’ve ever had eating pizza.
Anyways, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is coming exclusively to Nickelodeon. It will arrive on the linear channel later this month…cowabunga.
The animated movie is coming August, and you can already stream the remastered episodes from the likes of HBO Max — but disc lovers have been stuck with some pretty iffy DVD transfers for decades. That gets fixed on December 5th.
WB forwarded us a press release that shows the 110-episode series will cost $100 and include pilot movie The Gathering; JMS says it won’t include commentaries.
There’s also a series reboot in the works.
The Screen Actors Guild went on strike over major studios’ refusal to meet their demands for a two percent cut of streaming revenue and a 230 percent increase in foreign streaming residuals, among others, according to Variety.
On studios’ use of generative AI and actors’ digital likenesses, Variety writes:
The union wants to require that a performer has to consent to any use of their performance to train an AI system. The AMPTP would accept that for AI training used to alter or recreate that performer’s likeness. But according to Crabtree-Ireland, the AMPTP would give studios carte blanche to train AI systems to create “synthetic” performers, or for other purposes.
SAG-AFTRA also wants studios to get union consent on individual uses of AI, which the studios have refused to grant. There is also the dispute over background actors.
Is to check out this week’s new entertainment releases. Leading the way is the ridiculously titled Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, a big, silly action movie about AI.
Elsewhere, season 2 of both Foundation and The Afterparty premiered on Apple TV Plus, Oxenfree has a great new spooky sequel, Ridiculous Fishing has returned for Apple Arcade subscribers, and the sci-fi anthology Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire is streaming on Disney Plus.
Disney Plus’ new anthology series is a wonderful showcase of the African animation industry’s brilliance.
