The first season of My Adventures with Superman left most of the superheroic heavy lifting to Clark Kent (Jack Quaid) as villains terrorized metropolis. Even more of Superman’s classic foes are making their way to the show in its second season (out May 25th.) But this time around, the Man of Steel is going to have a bit more Kryptonian muscle on his side.
While Fallout is huge at the moment, don’t forget about that other post-apocalyptic series about people living deep underground. We don’t have a date or trailer yet for season 2 of Silo on Apple TV Plus, but at least there’s this assurance from the author of the novels the show is based on.
Hollywood is always chock full of writers trying to sell networks on scripts for brand new franchises. But!

Why does the villain in this Knuckles series sneak peek look familiar to me? Is it because he was in Game of Thrones and Slow West? Nope, didn’t see those. Season of the Witch? No, he had a bit part.
It seems the only role I’ve seen Rory McCann play is Michael Armstrong, aka the “yarp” guy, in Hot Fuzz. Anyway, Knuckles starts streaming Friday on Paramount Plus.
Some Westworld props are being auctioned off over at Heritage Auctions, beginning tomorrow, April 24th. Props from the canceled show include a self-driving car — complete with “manual gas throttle” and a “hidden compartment to operate vehicle.” (See the image gallery below.)

It’s very common for US-based studios to outsource big chunks of their animation projects overseas where production costs are significantly cheaper. Less common, though, are things like CNN’s report about production sketches from Amazon’s Invincible series and Max’s Iyanu: Child of Wonder show somehow winding up on a computer server located in North Korea.
