To create The Powerpuff Girls, the awesome super-powered trio of heroes who originally had an influential Cartoon Network show in the late '90s and early 2000s, Professor Utonium accidentally dropped Chemical X into his concoction of sugar, spice, and everything nice. Now, 20ish years later, we finally know what "Chemical X" is: Dark and edgy live-action reboots of beloved millennial culture properties! As reported by Deadline, a Powerpuff Girls live-action series is in the works for the CW, with a different spin on Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup.

If you thought the A-list ensemble of Space Force had just assembled for a one-and-done, you thought wrong. The high-profile Netflix comedy series was created by Steve Carell and The Office showrunner Greg Daniels, which was pedigree enough before you add in actors like John Malkovich, Ben Schwartz, Lisa Kudrow, and Jane Lynch co-starring opposite Carell. This is top tier level talent in a half-hour comedy series that follows the General tasked with leading the brand new titular branch of the military—and finding its purpose. But will there be a Space Force Season …
In January 2019, Netflix dropped a teaser trailer for a new workplace comedy series called Space Force created by Greg Daniels and Steve Carell, and starring Carell. But at the time that teaser dropped, Daniels and Carell didn’t even have a script for the show. It was literally just the idea of doing a comedy series about the people tasked with creating Space Force, inspired by Donald Trump’s real-life creation of this new military branch. But of course when you have someone like Daniels, whose TV credits range from King of the Hill to creating the U.…
Gargoyles fans would be well within their rights to think that Xanatos, in one of his many successful gambits, ultimately brought about the end of the title team. But that's not the case. According to the action-packed animated series' co-creator Greg Weisman, it was another notorious 90s name that brought down the winged heroes: O.J. Simpson. Now if you think about that for a moment, it makes sense. Simpson's murder case was all that the media and TV-watchers wanted to see throughout the majority of 1995; I even remember my teacher interrupting class to …

Even though the U.S. version of The Office has been off the air since 2013, it remains one of the most popular sitcoms around, and when it finally leaves Netflix for Peacock, it will be a major blow to the former. It's an incredibly rewatchable sitcom, and yet fans are still hungry for more antics from the Dunder-Mifflin crew. Christina Radish spoke to The Office creator Greg Daniels for his new series Upload, and asked about the possibility of The Office getting rebooted. He replied: "Oh, I’ve given a lot of thought to it because that’…

Epix has ordered a six-part docuseries about Charles Manson and his followers titled -- you guessed it -- Helter Skelter, reports Deadline. I mean, what else could they call it, right? Sigh...

It promises never-before-accessed interviews with former family members and journalists who were either first on the scene, or in the courtroom for Manson's explosive trial, as well as newly-unearthed images. Now, as I intrigued …
It seems odd, but it’s true: The Office and Parks and Recreation creator Greg Daniels has not created a new TV series since Parks and Rec began in 2009. Until now, that is.

The series stars Robbie Amell and takes place in a future where when you die, you have the option of having your consciousness uploaded into a virtual reality environment where you can “live” for the rest of eternity. You can even still …
