I don't know. Shatner recently went into space, and several months ago, traveled to Antarctica. He gets around pretty good for a 95-year-old.

A fourth season of "The Orville" has been written but no date on when filming will take place.

The show was last on back in 2022.

Good news on "The Orville". It's been a loving tribute to "Star Trek:TNG" so far.

Hasn't missed a beat. The new episodes that have aired are very like the old series. They even used the same theme song. Since (or in between) "Scrubs", the same creator has come up with "Ted Lasso" and "Shrinking", both continuing shows, so he's doing all right.

They announced today that the BUFFY reboot is NOT happening. SMG confirmed.

Maybe that's a good thing ?

Agreed. It would never have satisfied the original fans who watched it in real time, and would seem just like another retread of the dozens of other young adult fantasy series that have churned out since then to new viewers.

The Buffy show was edgy and provocative in its day. To try to repeat that formula for Gen Z has already been done to death as copycats. To update the Scooby Gang to their 50's, I'm not sure what that would look like. Maybe a reunion special.

As a series, best left alone.

I didn't realize that the CHARMED reboot lasted 4 years. Ended back in 2022.

Yeah, but who exactly was watching it. It was on a channel that had nothing better or cheaper to run.

I wasn't a fan of the original Charmed, but I know who played the 3 sisters, and even the replacements. How many people even know the names of the primary actors in the reboot, from not so long ago? I don't.
