  • Sandman: Netflix has announced that not only are they working on a live action adaptation, but they are working on it with Gaiman himself. Gaiman has said that he is working on adapting the first GN plus “a little bit more.” So we will see Preludes and Nocturnes, plus some. Sounds like they are looking to play the long game with Sandman.

  • Game of Thrones: Blood Moon: Watchers on the Wall claims to have a leaked look at the potential title for the new GoT prequel series that is actively in production in Ireland, AND a look at the logo.

  • WB Streaming: Deadline is reporting that the Warner streaming app is looking to reboot TGIF. They are looking at shows like Step by Step, Family Matters, Hangin with Mister Cooper, and Perfect Strangers. 2021 seems to be the goal year, as that is when the rights to all those shows will return to WB as their contract with Hulu is up then. https://deadline.com/2019/07/warnermedia-streamer-reboots-warner-bros-tv-tgif-comedies-step-by-step-perfect-strangers-family-matters-hangin-with-mr-cooper-1202640674/
