Series overseer Jon Favreau has confirmed that the follow-up will premiere on Disney+ in fall 2020, or roughly a year after thee Star Wars live action series began. […]

Techno-thriller ‘Mr. Robot’ ends on a mind-melting high
[ad_1] The final season of Sam Esmail’s acclaimed techno-thriller crystalized what fans have long suspected: that the show is, and always was, about the link between hero Elliot Alderson and a bespectacled hacker wearing a frayed Mr. Robot patch on his jacket. From the jump, it was obvious that Elliot was a complicated hero. The […]
‘Stranger Things’ pinball machine melds two forms of ’80s nostalgia
[ad_1] The Premium and Limited editions of the machine include a “first-ever” projector that beams images and animations directly on the play surface. You won’t have to look up to see the clever animation for a crucial gameplay moment. There’s also an Eleven-themed magnetic ball lock on those models. The Limited version also brings custom […]
NBC’s Peacock streaming service might include live video
[ad_1] Most notably, one of the sources claims you won’t get the full series of The Office (and possibly other shows) if you stick to the free tier. While that’s unfortunate if you’re hoping to avoid paying for yet another streaming subscription, it could make sense from a business standpoint. NBC not only has to […]
Apple TV+ video game comedy series ‘Mythic Quest’ debuts February 7th
[ad_1] There are plenty of familiar names attached beyond McElhenney (who also stars as the developer’s creative lead) and Day. Philadelphia alumni David Hornsby and Megan Ganz are executive producing, while the cast includes Hornsby as well as F. Murray Abraham and video game actress Ashly Burch (Horizon Zero Dawn and Life is Strange). Mythic […]
Dish’s smaller AirTV 2 can hide while it streams local TV
[ad_1] You can add an external hard drive to simultaneously record and view shows, and the Sling app provides access on Android, iOS, Fire TV and Roku devices in addition to whatever Sling services you might have (if any). The AirTV 2 is available now for $100, although it’s evident that Dish would really like […]
NBC’s Peacock streaming service may charge $10 for ad-free viewing
[ad_1] NBC hasn’t confirmed the potential new pricing, although you won’t have long to find out when it’s expected to detail Peacock’s cost on January 16th. The variable tiers would make sense. A free option (even if it’s tied to cable service) may be needed to lure customers either wary of a single-network service or […]
PBS is now available on YouTube TV
[ad_1] This is helpful if you thrive on Masterpiece performances or (older) Sesame Street episodes, but it also fills an important gap in YouTube TV’s lineup. You now have public television without turning to PBS’ own sites and apps, or relying on over-the-air broadcasts — it’s more like conventional TV service, just without some of […]
TiVo’s iPhone app finally streams shows using cellular data
[ad_1] There are still catches. Dave Zatz warned that the approach remained “a bit kludgey,” and that you can’t skip commercials like you can on your TV. You do avoid pre-roll ads, though, and this beats having to track down a WiFi hotspot to watch an episode. Streaming services like Hulu theoretically fill this gap […]
A ‘Snow Crash’ TV series is coming to HBO Max
[ad_1] There’s no tentative release schedule, and it’s clearly too soon to learn who’ll play characters like Hiro Protagonist and YT. This may have been in the works for a while, though. There has been talk for months of resurrecting attempts to bring Snow Crash to screens following a failed attempt to make a movie. […]
