Sci Fi TV News of Note:
The Game of Thrones spin-off Ten Thousand Ships that had previously been scrapped by HBO now appears to back in the works, and George R.R. Martin has announced that Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Eboni Booth is working on the pilot. The Hollywood Reporter gives the following description for the project:
Set 1,000 years before the events of Game of Thrones, the series tells the story of warrior queen Princess Nymeria — the founder of the kingdom of Dorne — and the surviving Rhoynars who traveled from Essos to Dorne following their defeat by Valyrian and their dragons.
The show has not been officially greenlighted yet and HBO has had no comment on the status of the project at this point. But for now, this appears to be back in the GoT spin-off queue.
A Blue Beetle animated series is in the works at Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios, and the director and writer of the film, Angel Manuel Soto and Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer, will be onboard as executive producers. According to Deadline, the show will build on the movie and will focus on Jaime Reyes as the third version of the Blue Beetle character. A network or streaming service has not been announced yet, but this will likely end up landing a Max.
In renewal and cancellation news, HBO has announced that House of the Dragon will be continuing to a third season while Amazon’s The Boys will be wrapping up with its fifth season.
In scheduling news, Netflix has announced June 27th as the premiere for its British superhero series Supacell. You can see the trailer for that at this link.
In production news, James Gunn has confirmed that filming on Peacemaker Season 2 has finally begun. That will likely put it on target for a 2025 premiere.
