HHW Gaming: Netflix Cancels ‘Resident Evil’ Series After 1 Season
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: COURTESY OF NETFLIX / Resident Evil Welp, that was fast. After one season, Netflix has decided that its once-promising Resident Evil series does not deserve a second season. Deadline exclusively reports that Netflix is doing its usual by canceling a show just after one season. The latest victim is the Resident Evil series which puts a fresh spin on the popular survival horror video game franchise. Related Stories The news of the show’s demise comes just months after its July 14 release and, according to the website, isn’t surprising due to how the show performed on the streaming service. The show faired poorly on Netflix’s Top 10 and was expensive to produce. Two factors against it, combined with a poor critical response, made Netflix’s decision easy to m...
Neil Gaiman Reveals He Killed a Sandman Movie by Leaking the “Really Stupid” Script
Before Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman became a certified smash on Netflix, there were multiple efforts to adapt the comic series into a movie. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the author revealed that he squashed one of those early attempts by leaking what he dubbed “the worst script I’ve ever been sent.” The story comes from the late-’90s, after director Roger Avary (The Rules of Attraction) had been fired from a Sandman movie for wanting to use stop-motion animation for scenes taking place in The Dreaming. By 1998, William Farmer (Jonah Hex) was onboard to write a new draft of the script under the guidance of producer Jon Peters. Rumors had it that the story was being turned into something of an action movie, with massive changes to Gaiman’s original tale bungling up the magic. “I haven...

Allison Janney and Jurnee Smollett Go on a Manhunt in Trailer for Netflix Film Lou: Watch
“I wish I could say that some good came from what I did,” Allison Janney says in the trailer for Lou, Netflix’s upcoming action thriller. “In truth, I left the world a more dangerous place.” The clip keeps Lou’s official job title under wraps, but when a desperate mother (Jurnee Smollett) asks her to help locate her kidnapped daughter, it’s clear she’s some kind of dangerous badass. Directed by Anna Foerster from a screenplay by Maggie Cohn and Jack Stanley, Lou follows Janney and Smollett through the rainy wilderness as they hunt for Smollett’s child. As the trailer progresses, Janney’s Lou reveals that “this isn’t just a kidnapping,” but she stays mum on everything else, like how she learned how to incapacitate a grown man (Her answer? “Girl Scouts”). Logan Marshall-Green, Ridley As...

Sex Education classes are almost back in session, and this time around, Dan Levy will be teaching a class of his own. Netflix has announced that the Schitt’s Creek star has joined the cast of the series for Season 4. The addition of the breakout comedian is just one of many changes in the Sex Ed world.

David Harbour Shares the Early ’90s Hit That Would Save Him From Vecna on ‘Stranger Things’: ‘So Embarrassing…’
David Harbour revealed the song that would be his personal defense against Vecna in a new interview on Thursday (Aug. 17). “Oh god. Oh god, oh god. It’s just so embarrassing, my taste in music, I rarely reveal it,” the Stranger Things star confessed in a virtual appearance on E! News’ Nightly Pop. “My sort of college years were the early ’90s. So that’s really where music really became very important, was like sitting around in the dorm room, you know, jamming out to Counting Crows and Stone Temple Pilots.” Because of that influence, Harbour only had one answer: “‘Mr. Jones’ by Counting Crows I’m sure would bring me back. Bring me back to college!” Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news The actor, who plays Jim Hopper on the popular Netflix sc...

It’s not long before Wednesday is inevitably expelled (again), so, her parents Morticia and Gomez (Catherine Zeta-Jo...

Netflix Sues The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical Creators for Copyright Infringement
A scandal worthy of Lady Whistledown’s poisoned pen. On Friday, Netflix filed a lawsuit against the creators of The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical for copyright infringement. In the court papers, which were filed in a Washington DC District Court, the streamer alleges duo Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear “have taken valuable intellectual property from the Netflix original series Bridgerton to build an international brand for themselves.” “Bridgerton reflects the creative work and hard-earned success of hundreds of artists and Netflix employees,” the court filing reads. “Netflix owns the exclusive right to create Bridgerton songs, musicals, or any other derivative works based on Bridgerton.
