Save your show for another day.
Sam Levinson and The Weeknd’s unfathomable, anti-sexy, HBO drama The Idol has been canceled after only one season. The show, which concluded early with five episodes instead of six, was criticized for its regressive, lurid depiction of sex and stardom. Back in June, it was rumored that the show had been canceled mid-season. Now that rumor is official.

Arleen Sorkin, the voice of Harley Quinn, has died at 67.
Filmmaker James Gunn shared the news on Instagram last night (via Deadline). Sorkin had a long acting career in Television, most notably as Harley Quinn in Batman: The Animated Series.
In fact, the character existed because of her. No, really — Paul Dini, who brought us the series, based the character on a scene from Days of Our Lives featuring Sorkin in a clown suit.

The summer of sci-fi continues.
This week two notable space-based shows premiered: Star Wars spinoff Ahsoka is streaming over on Disney Plus, while the second season of Invasion has kicked off on Apple TV Plus.
Meanwhile, FromSoftware’s latest, Armored Core VI, is now out, and two big games got big updates: Fortnite just launched a new season called Last Resort, and No Man’s Sky keeps chugging along with its Echoes update.

Set phasers to fun for Paramount’s Star Trek Day celebrations.
On September 8th, Star Trek: Lower Decks star Jerry O’Connell will host a special program celebrating 57 years of the iconic science fiction franchise, streaming on Paramount Plus, Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook.
The first two episodes of Strange New Worlds will also be broadcast on CBS starting at 8PM ET/PT if you haven’t already streamed it on Paramount Plus.

Good morning.
Apple has released the official trailer for the third season of The Morning Show. The season looks very dramatic; the trailer includes lots of tense conversations and yelling. There’s also apparently a cyberattack — Verge angle!
I didn’t really like season 2, but I’ll probably end up watching this anyway.

That’s a stretch.
Netflix’s One Piece adaptation is dropping at the end of August, and a new behind-the-scenes featurette gives a pretty good look at some of the pirate action, most notably Luffy’s ability to stretch his body to absurd proportions — which has a whole different vibe in live-action.
