Since the first season of *Peacemaker* aired, things have shifted significantly. James Gunn, the show’s creator, is now a co-CEO of DC Studios, and *Peacemaker* has become part of his vision for a connected DC Universe.
It’s complicated, but mostly yes! Kevin, Joe, and Nick Jonas will be back as Jason, Shane, and Nate Gray, according to Deadline. Demi Lovato is returning as an executive producer, working with the Jonas Brothers, but won’t be appearing on screen as Mitchie. However, Maria Canals-Barrera, who played Mitchie’s mom Connie, will be returning – perhaps with a new role!
Former President Trump celebrated the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel’s show on his social media platform, Truth Social. He praised ABC for the decision, calling Kimmel untalented and noting his lower ratings compared to Stephen Colbert. Trump also urged NBC to cancel shows hosted by Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, labeling them “total losers” with “horrible” ratings. MSNBC’s Chris Hayes strongly criticized the move, calling it an unprecedented attack on free speech. Meanwhile, figures like Ben Stiller, Senator Adam Schiff, and Governor Gavin Newsom voiced their disapproval of both the comments that led to the cancellation and ABC’s decision to take Kimmel off the air.
Future Imperfect, created by Peter David and illustrated with breathtaking art by George Pérez, presents a flawed future world. This acclaimed two-part comic series, originally published in 1992-1993, is considered a must-read for Hulk fans. The story takes place in a devastated, post-apocalyptic future where nuclear war has decimated the planet and most of its heroes. A cruel new villain, the Maestro, has risen to power – a dark and twisted version of the Hulk. This alternate future reveals that the Maestro is actually Bruce Banner, years after succumbing to madness fueled by power and loss.
Seth Rogen is creating a new Muppet Show special for Disney+, set to release in 2026, as reported by THR and other sources. Singer and actress Sabrina Carpenter will star in the special and also help produce it. The project is timed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Muppet Show, and the creators hope it will lead to a full revival of the series.
I’ve been a Muppets fan for years, and I’ve seen them try a few different approaches to bring the show back. In the ’90s, there was *Muppets Tonight*, which felt a lot like the original, but with Clifford hosting as this really energetic, late-night style character. Then in 2015, *The Muppets* was this funny mockumentary, like *The Office*, showing what went on behind the scenes. More recently, *Muppets Now* on Disney+ tried to jump on the short-form video trend. Disney+ even gave a full reboot a shot with *The Electric Mayhem*. But this new *Muppet Show* special feels different – it’s being made with the Muppets Studio *and* Point Grey Pictures, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s company. Honestly, I have a feeling this one is going to be special, and maybe even win some awards!
Nexstar, a broadcasting company, didn’t specify exactly what Jimmy Kimmel said that bothered them, and ABC hasn’t explained their decision further. However, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr had previously criticized a segment from Kimmel’s Monday show, where he discussed the person who attacked Charlie Kirk, accusing the attacker’s supporters of trying to downplay their connection to him for political gain. Around 6 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, Nexstar released a statement saying they strongly disagreed with Kimmel’s comments and would replace the show with other programs on their ABC stations. When asked for comment, ABC confirmed that *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* would be taken off the air indefinitely.
This announcement follows Nexstar’s decision to stop airing *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* and other ABC programs on its local stations. Nexstar made this choice because of comments made by Kimmel.
Honestly, the plot of the final episode of *The Summer I Turned Pretty* doesn’t really need to make sense. It quickly jumps to Jeremiah becoming a successful chef in Boston after only seven months, complete with a pop-up event he’s running. Before you can even wonder how any of this is funded, the event is magically moved to the Cousins’ beach house – just to give us one last look at the property. The important thing is that Jeremiah is doing well, both personally and professionally. We see him happily kissing Denise, and even his usually critical father shows up to express his pride. Meanwhile, Denise and Steven manage to secure funding for their business, setting them up for a move to Silicon Valley, and Taylor joins them to handle PR. Everyone’s problems are neatly wrapped up, and the show can move on to more interesting things.
