May 13, 2019 Update

Today's update:
  • The Orville renewed for a 3rd season, to return in Winter.
  • neXt will premiere in Winter.

    Today's development hell shows I haven't had updates on in 2+ years.
  • The Man From Primrose Lane (Fox) - "An elderly man from Primrose Lane was murdered. Fast-forward four years to David Neff, the bestselling author of a true-crime book about an Ohio serial killer, who decides to investigate. The closer he gets to uncovering the man’s true identity, the more he begins to understand the reality-altering power of his own obsessions — and how they may be connected to the deaths of the old hermit and David’s beloved wife."
  • Glare (HBO) - Space drama involving the colonization of another planet.
  • Transcience (CW) - "When consciousness transfers become legal in the near future, an ambitious young musician finally gets the kind of body and life that he wants. But the procedure has side effects, sending him down a dark rabbit hole where identity, memory and the past start to violently collide."
  • Familiar (Fox) - "Set in 2029 — the year A.I. Robotics will go the path of the personal computer – or so is the hope of the Wiercinskis, the family behind Luminary, the first mainstream consumer-oriented robotics company. The project follows the powerful and dysfunctional Wiercinski family as they navigate their own personal and familial relationships in an ever-changing world that they had a significant (if sometimes unethical) hand in shaping."
  • Metropolis - Based on the classic 1927 Fritz Lang movie. "A future society where wealthy industrialists rule the vast city from high-rise tower complexes, while a lower class of underground-dwelling workers toil constantly to operate the machines that provide its power. Risking everything they know, two star crossed lovers from opposite sides of the divide must find a way to bring down the whole system."
  • Enhanced (Fox) - "After creating a new technology that can potentially change mankind, an idealistic and brilliant female scientist gets caught up in the battle between two biotech billionaire brothers. As the story unfolds concurrently in the present day and a decade in the future we see how an idea conceived with the best of intentions can have repercussions."
  • Untitled John Ridley Project () - Marvel super hero show, very hush hush. Still in the works, I think.
  • Furniss (AMC) - "A teenage orphan’s new life with her birth father and his family, complicated by her connection to secret supernatural events in their rural town."
  • Witchblade (NBC) - "Homicide detective Sara Pezzini, on the hunt for an elusive serial killer, who must navigate the grisly streets and police politics of San Francisco’s Mission District — until one day the bracelet she has worn her entire life gives her supernatural insight into a crime she’s trying to solve. Her bracelet is the Witchblade, an amulet that has been worn by remarkable women throughout history, and Sara is next in line."
  • Untitled Alternate Universe show (Amazon) - Along the lines of "The Man in the High Castle".

    Just out of curiosity, is anyone actually reading these updates?
