This kinda crept up from nowhere…
“The Girl in the Woods” on Peacock. First episode aired 21st Oct.
“In supernatural drama THE GIRL IN THE WOODS, monsters are real, kept at bay behind a mysterious door in a cult-like colony. Teenage runaway Carrie’s job is to guard that door, but when strange occurrences begin to shake the sleepy mining town to its core, she must enlist the help of new friends Nolan and Tasha. The group becomes an unlikely trio of monster slayers, determined to save their loved ones. As they fight back, Nolan and Tasha can’t help but wonder…can they really trust Carrie?”
Out of nowhere is right. I scour the news each week looking for stuff like this and never heard about it. Thanks for the heads up.
This was on Twitter last night from George R. Olson, Showrunner of Syfy series SurrealEstate:
Hey folks. Sorry to tell you that we will not be moving forward with Syfy on Season Two of #SurrealEstate. But we have no intention of leaving Luke alone in a bowling alley when his mom is out there somewhere and mortgage rates are so reasonable.

We’re committed to finding a new home for #SurrealEstate, and if there’s one thing The Roman Agency knows about, it’s finding new homes. You can help us by keeping #SurrealEstate in your hearts, minds, tweets and posts.

Stay tuned. And thanks so much for believing in ghosts, demons, Roadies, LRG’s, Mumfords, low-maintenance composite decking and our little show.
Thanks for the heads up. I really enjoyed that show and was hoping for a second season. I will pass on the news and perhaps it will get picked up by a different venue.
Small correction: The first two episodes of Young Justice released on HBO Max during DC Fandome, Sat Oc 16 (I watched them already!) with the 3rd and subsequent dropping on Thursdays. Both the trailer and first 4 mins of episode 1 are on Youtube.
