Sci Fi TV News of Note:
Amazon has ordered a pilot for the horror comedy The Nightbeast which stars Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black, She-Hulk). It comes from Leah Rachel (Chambers) and Travis Jackson (Hemlock Grove) and Deadline gives the following description for the project:
The pilot follows a young mother who is unsatisfied with her seemingly perfect suburban life, so she begins an affair with the boogeyman in her son’s closet – a surprisingly sexy man called the Nightbeast. But this harmless affair she thought to be a figment of her imagination begins to have unexpected consequences, as her two worlds increasingly begin to collide in this seductive, darkly comedic tale.
The streamer will likely be considering this for its 2024-25 lineup.
Jared Padalecki has been invited by Eric Kripke to join the cast of The Boys for its upcoming fifth (and final) season, and the actor has said yes. His role in the series has not been determined yet, but Padalecki says that he is looking forward to working with Kripke who he previously teamed with on Supernatural. Former co-star Jensen Ackles is currently part of the cast of The Boys as Soldier Boy and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (who played John Winchester on Supernatural) is also on the show.
In renewal news, Syfy’s Resident Alien will continue to a fourth season, but it will be moving to the USA Network and getting its budget cut. More on that at this link.
In scheduling news, George R.R. Martin has said that filming has begun on The Hedge Knight and that the six-episode series should premiere in early 2025. For the 2024 schedule, the animated Harley Quinn spin-off Kite Man, Hell Yeah! has received a July 18th premiere date on Max. And The Penguin, which is a spin-off from The Batman, will be arriving at some point in September. You can see the trailer for that one below and you can see all the sci fi and fantasy TV premieres for June and beyond at this link.
