Final thoughts and excitement for Season 2

  • Shogun is officially getting a second season with filming set for January 2026 in Vancouver.

  • The story jumps ten years ahead, placing us deeper into the Edo era with Toranaga in power but on unstable ground.

  • Expect fewer large scale battles and more political maneuvering as Toranaga manages a fragile new alliance.

  • Both Toranaga and Blackthorne return, played again by Hiroyuki Sanada and Cosmo Jarvis, alongside the original supporting cast and many new characters.

  • The creative team, including key writers and directors from Season 1, is back, even though the show is now telling an original story beyond the book.

  • The scale and cost of production suggest a long post production window, making a likely release sometime in 2027.

  • “It kind of gives us an era when Toranaga is in power, but it is fragile.”

  • “It will probably be less battles and more juggling this fragile new alliance that he is building.”

  • “They are no longer pulling from the book, they are beyond that at this point.”

  • “With the very expensive and long shoot, it is probably not going to release till 2027, but cameras are rolling.”

  • “We have something happening that is incredible. I cannot wait for another season of Shogun.”

Always Sunny, IDW Struggles, and Star Wars Jedi Survivor

Always Sunny, IDW Struggles, and Star Wars Jedi Survivor

IDW Publishing, one of the largest comic book companies in the US, is undergoing changes in leadership roles and cutting costs by eliminating over a third of its workforce due to a decline in comic book revenues, especially after the end of Locke and Key at Netflix. The company aims to adapt more of its comic book properties into television and film projects but is struggling with that approach. On the other hand, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" will launch its 16th season on Wednesday, June 7, on FXX and Hulu. Meanwhile, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a third-person galaxy-spanning action-adventure game, is set to continue Cal Kestis's story five years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

Wizards of the Coast Hires Pinkerton Detectives to Recover Unreleased Magic: The Gathering Booster Box from YouTuber

Wizards of the Coast Hires Pinkerton Detectives to Recover Unreleased Magic: The Gathering Booster Box from YouTuber

Wizards of the Coast, the creator of Magic: The Gathering, recently hired Pinkerton detectives to recover an upcoming booster box from a YouTuber. The streamer, Dan Cannon, had mistakenly purchased booster boxes that were not yet released while assuming that they were part of the recently released set. Pinkerton agents showed up and intimidated him into giving the cards back, citing several statutes related to copyright infringement and threatening him with jail time and hefty fines if he failed to cooperate. Pinkerton, known for its anti-labor activities in the past, now advertises itself as a risk management and security company, and has also been hired by tech companies like Facebook and Google to spy on their employees. There has been no comment from Pinkerton or Wizards of the Coast regarding their approach to handling the situation. #MagicTheGathering #WizardsOfTheCoast #PinkertonDetectives #BoosterBox #DanCannon #CopyrightInfringement #RiskManagement #SecurityCompany #AntiLabor #Facebook #Google #Kotaku

Entertainment Lawsuits to Watch

Entertainment Lawsuits to Watch

Paramount Global has filed a $50 million-plus countersuit against Warner Bros Discovery over streaming rights to the long-running cartoon satire, South Park. This is in response to Warner Bros Discovery's $200 million lawsuit against Paramount Global over the same issue. The countersuit seeks to recover unpaid license fees and a declaratory judgment confirming the parties' rights and obligations under the Term Sheet. The legal battle has become increasingly heated, with both sides making strong accusations against each other. This legal dispute is significant as it could impact the launch of Warner Bros Discovery's revamped Max streaming service next month. Expect to see lawyers making a lot of money as this legal battle continues. Demetrious Polychron, a Lord of the Rings fan fiction writer, is suing the Tolkien Estate and Amazon for $250 million in copyright infringement, claiming that The Rings of Power show infringes on his work, The Fellowship of the King. Polychron claims his work is "inspired by Lord of the Rings and J.R.R. Tolkien" but is a "wholly original book and concept." He has attempted to work with the Tolkien Estate professionally but was rebuffed, so he delivered a copyrighted copy to Simon Tolkien's home. The lawsuit points out similarities between the two works, but some of Polychron's claims, such as one of his characters having the same name as a character in Rings of Power, are contested.

The Twilight Saga films collectively grossed more than $3.4 billion worldwide, and the TV adaptation is expected to be a valuable addition to Lionsgate’s library. Adult Swim has released a clip for the upcoming movie "The Venture Bros.: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart," which picks up after the events of the show's seventh season.
