Netflix has canceled Chilling Adventures of Sabrina after two seasons (which were split into four parts) and they’ve also announced that the final eight episodes, Part 4, are set to premiere at the end of this calendar year. 

The series stars Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men; The Blackcoat’s Daughter) as the fan-favorite teenage witch and will complete its run with thirty-six episodes (20 in season one; 16 in season two). Veteran actresses Miranda Otto (The Lord of the Rings; War of the Worlds) and Lucy Davis (Wonder Woman; Shaun of the Dead) co-star as her Aunts Zelda and Hilda, respectively. 

In his statement, showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa said:

“Working on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has been an incredible honor from Day One. The cast, beginning with Kiernan as everyone’s favorite teen witch, has been an absolute joy. I am beyond thankful to the crew, writers, editors, assistants, and everyone for pouring so much love into this dark dream of a show. I’m also grateful to our partners at Netflix, Warner Bros., Berlanti Television and Archie Comics for letting us tell the story we wanted to tell, the way we wanted to tell it. We can’t wait for everyone to see Part Four.”

Their decision comes just days after another Archieverse series, Katy Keene, was axed by The CW following a thirteen-episode first season.

As for what’s to come in the final batch of episodes, Netflix has shared the official synopsis for the second half of season two, which seems to spell doom for the Spellmans. 

“The Eldritch Terrors will descend upon Greendale. The coven must fight each terrifying threat one-by-one (The Weird, The Returned, The Darkness to name a few), all leading up to…The Void, which is the End of All Things. As the witches wage war, with the help of The Fright Club, Nick begins to slowly earn his way back into Sabrina’s heart, but will it be too late?”

Following the explosive conclusion of last night’s Stargirl, Courtney (Brec Bassinger), Cindy (Meg DeLacy), and the Dragon King (Nelson Lee) all came to learn that Henry Jr. (Jake Austin Walker) did indeed inherit his father’s powerful psionic abilities, which should be a huge game-changer in their ongoing war.

While Courtney immediately wants to attempt to recruit him, she’s going to face serious opposition from Yolanda (Yvette Monreal), who wants absolutely nothing to do with him after what he did to her. 

Brainwave (Ep# 109)

DADDY DEAREST — Tensions rise among the JSA members after Courtney (Brec Bassinger) suggests who she wants to recruit next to the team.

Luke Wilson, Yvette Monreal, Cameron Gellman, Anjelika Washington, Trae Romano, Christopher James Baker, Meg DeLacy and Hunter Sansone also star.

The new DC UNIVERSE drama series DC’s STARGIRL follows high school sophomore Courtney Whitmore as she inspires an unlikely group of young heroes to stop the villains of the past. This new drama reimagines Stargirl and the very first superhero team, the Justice Society of America, in an unpredictable series that focuses on the character that started creator Geoff Johns’ career as a comic book writer when he created her in 1999, lovingly inspired by his late sister who was killed in a 1996 plane explosion.

Deadline has confirmed that God Friended Me star Javicia Leslie has been cast as the new Batwoman following Ruby Rose’s shock departure. As was previously reported, the actress will play a newly created character called Ryan Wilder, and is set to make her debut as Gotham City’s Caped Crusader when the show returns to The CW next January.

God Friended Me is a CBS series produced by Greg Berlanti, so he didn’t have to look far for his new star. 

“I am extremely proud to be the first Black actress to play the iconic role of Batwoman on television, and as a bisexual woman, I am honored to join this groundbreaking show which has been such a trailblazer for the LGBTQ+ community,” Leslie said in a statement.

The character of Ryan Wilder is described as likeable, messy, a little goofy and untamed. She’s also nothing like Kate Kane, the woman who wore the Batsuit before her. With no one in her life to keep her on track, Ryan spent years as a drug-runner, dodging the GCPD and masking her pain with bad habits. Today Ryan lives in her van with her plant. A girl who would steal milk for an alley cat and could also kill you with her bare hands, Ryan is the most dangerous type of fighter: highly skilled and wildly undisciplined. An out lesbian. Athletic. Raw. Passionate. Fallible. And very much not your stereotypical All-American hero.

Leslie’s previous credits include The Family Business and Always a Bridesmaid, though this is arguably her biggest role to date. Casting both a Black actress and an openly bisexual woman to play Batwoman definitely points to the series being committed to diversity, and fans will now no doubt be eagerly anticipating seeing her suited up as the Scarlet Knight.

The big question, however, is whether the show can successfully move on from Kate Kane, and if fans will be interested in a version of the series which potentially has fewer Batman connections.

Kanye West is a strange, divisive figure, and his recent announcement that he plans to run for President of the United States was met with the expected mixture of praise from his fans and ridicule from everyone else. The rapper has been widely criticised for his decision, though, especially as it’s too late to register in key states and the fear is that he will take votes from where they should be going.

During a recent interview with Forbes, West laid out some of his plans for a possible four years as President, and explained that he’s using Wakanda – the fictional home nation of T’Challa in Black Panther – as a basis for how he would run things in the good ‘ol US of A. 

“A lot of Africans do not like the movie [Black Panther] and representation of themselves in…Wakanda. But I’m gonna use the framework of Wakanda right now because it’s the best explanation of what our design group is going to feel like in the White House,” he explained.

“That is a positive idea: you got Kanye West, one of the most powerful humans – I’m not saying the most because you got a lot of alien level superpowers and it’s only collectively that we can set it free. Let’s get back to Wakanda…like in the movie in Wakanda when the king went to visit that lead scientist to have the shoes wrap around her shoes. Just the amount of innovation that can happen, the amount of innovation in medicine – like big pharma – we are going to work, innovate, together.”

So, if by some miracle West does end up in the White House, we can expect…well, it’s hard to say for sure, but he clearly enjoyed Black Panther and is hoping to have his own Shuri helping out. 

It remains to be seen how serious the rapper is, but it does seem like he plans to start campaigning soon.

Will you be backing Kanye West for President?
