More like Bobby Buff-er Jr., amirite? Nobody? <p><strong>The Background</strong>: Nick Venable is an Assistant Managing Editor, and the TV Editor. His humble origin story with CinemaBlend began all the way back in the pre-streaming era, circa 2009, as a freelancing DVD reviewer and TV recapper. After rising up through the ranks covering Movies, Nick leapfrogged over to the small screen to cover more and more television news and interviews, eventually taking over the section for the current era. Born in Louisiana and currently living in Texas — Who Dat Nation over America’s Team all day, all night — Nick spent several years in the hospitality industry, and also worked as a 911 operator. And if you ever happened to hear his music or read his comics/short stories, you have his sympathy. His love for his wife and daughters is almost equaled by his love of gasp-for-breath laughter and gasp-for-breath horror. A lifetime spent in the vicinity of a television screen led to his current dream job, as well as his knowledge of too many TV themes and ad jingles.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What He's Into</strong>: Nick is one of those people who won’t necessarily insert a Monty Python reference into every conversation, but is still mentally equipped to do so. Beyond such appreciation for surreal UK comedy, Nick also indulges in as much horror splendor as possible, from Stephen King novels to James Tynion IV comics to Freddy Krueger one-liners to all things Mike Flanagan. Throw in a dash of NFL, some 311 and Weird Al, fried crawfish poboys, bourbon, ‘90s-era pro wrestling, crossword puzzles and mystery-driven video games, and baby, you got a stew going. (Nick will insert an Arrested Development reference into every conversation, if possible.)</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What He's Excited About</strong>: Anything Jeff Lemire, Tom King and W. Maxwell Prince think of, ever. More of Kelly Reilly’s deliriously fierce performances on Yellowstone. HBO’s The Last of Us. Clone High’s return. Colin Farrell’s Penguin being in every movie/TV show/breakfast cereal.</p>

After Neve Campbell revealed she wouldn't be back for Scream 6, rumors circulated that a new deal with Paramount was made.

What does this new arrangement mean for The Batman 2?

Spider-Man has been confirmed to join Disney's library in the future, as Disney and Sony have reached an agreement for the Spider-Man series and other Sony titles to become available on Disney's portfolio of streaming services.

Good news for people who like their leading men with a hint of devilry: The Netflix series Lucifer has gotten that much closer to being renewed for Season 6, as star Tom Ellis has reportedly signed a deal to return as the titular fallen angel. While this isn't an official renewal, there is of course no Lucifer without the man himself, something Netflix leaned into heavily for its very, um, specific campaign to promote Season 4 of the show. (Give the people what they want, after all.) Deadline also reports that the rest of the supernatural procedural's cast …

Lucifer, objectively TV's best show about a sexy devil who solves crimes (sorry, Blue Bloods), might have a much longer life than fans expected. The series' fifth and once-reported "final" season still hasn't premiered on Netflix—the show's second on the streaming service after it was cancelled by Fox—but a new report on TVLine suggests a season 6 is likely. Showrunners Ildy Modrovich and Joe Henderson have closed new deals to stay on for a hypothetical season 6, crossing a crucial Step 1 off the checklist to keeping Lucifer alive.

Bryan Cranston had a long and successful history with Sony. That deal, going back to at least the beginning of the Breaking Bad days, was extended after the award-winning show's run, with Cranston signing on to a first-look deal with Sony Pictures Television back in 2013. That was the same year he founded his own production banner Moonshot Entertainment with his partner James Degus. Now, however, the whole creative Cranston package is moving to Warner Bros. TV Group. THR reports that the new deal marks a big change for Cranston while also being the latest high-profile …

For 20 years, Amy Pascal led Sony Pictures into battle, be it at the box office, in studio bidding wars, or with North Korea, which launched a cyberattack on her studio that forever changed how business is done in Hollywood. And now, after leading the studio to an Oscar win earlier this year for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Pascal is walking away from her longtime home at Sony to sign a first-look deal with Universal Pictures. As far as I'm concerned, the addition of Pascal Pictures on the Burbank lot is a coup for Universal, as …
