“Good Omens” Gets Renewed Two Years After Finale

In a twist that we never expected, Amazon has renewed “Good Omens” for a second season after a two-years after season one’s finale. Two reasons that it’s so surprising is that the series was first billed as limited series and another, the first season covered the entire novel it’s based upon. Co-written by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet, the new season will deliver a fresh story about the supernatural duo of Michael Sheen‘s (“Masters of Sex”) angel Aziraphale and David Tennant’s (“Doctor Who”) Crowley and their involvement in the apocalypse and with humanity. Both are returning. The new six-episode season will begin production later this year in Scotland and will stream exclusively on Amazon with its premiere likely in 2022. We’ll keep you posted.

‘Velocipastor’ Director Brendan Steere Is Back With Survival Horror ‘Animosity’

Wild Eye Releasing has unearthed Velocipastor director Brendan Steere’s first film, Animosity, starring Tracy Willet and Marcin Paluch as two newlyweds that discover a sinister presence in the woods.

John Lithgow Returning For “Dexter” Revival

Fans of “Dexter” couldn’t have been more excited to learn that the killer of killers would be returning for a revival. As the premiere grows closer more cast members are being announced. Back in season 4, we were introduced to “The Trinity Killer” played by John Lithgow. While his character was killed that season, news has come that Lithgow is returning for the revival. You may be wondering how this is possible. Killers have often returned in the series in the form of flashbacks and in Dexter’s mind. We are assuming that’s what will happen, but the show has had major twists before so we can’t be certain. Lithgow received an Emmy for his portrayal of “The Trinity Killer” (aka Arthur Mitchell), the character who entered the series as a mentor and became one of Dexter Morgan’s biggest adversaries. Michael C. Hall is back as Dexter and is joined by Julia Jones (“The Mandalorian”), Alano Miller (Sylvie’s Love), Jack Alcott

In Night Drive, “Russell (AJ Bowen – You’re Next, The Signal) is a driver in Los Angeles who’s reeling from a series of bad decisions.

A simple ride turns deadly, catapulting Russell into an even darker place, but Charlotte may be the key to a second chance he thought he’d never have… if he can make it through the night.” Bradford Baruh, the filmmaker that brought you John Dies at the End, directed alongside Meghan Leon who penned the script.
