Scoob! Holiday Haunt
Relatedly, producer Tony Cervone revealed his cancelled Scooby-Doo movie will still record its score.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Plantasm
Master Shake jettisons a mutant horde of Carls from an airlock in a new clip from Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Plantasm.
Strange Adventures
On a recent episode of his Hollywood Babble-On podcast (via Comic Book), Kevin Smith confirmed the Strange Adventures anthology series at HBO Max has also been officially cancelled.
The Penguin
However, Deadline reports The Batman spinoff series starring Colin Ferrell’s Penguin is still moving forward and plans to film next February.
House of the Dragon
Matt Smith was openly critical of House of the Dragon’s numerous sex scenes featuring his character, Daemon, in a recent interview with Rolling Stone.
You do find yourself asking, ‘Do we need another sex scene?’ And they’re like, ‘Yeah, we do.’ I guess you have to ask yourself: ‘What are you doing? Are you representing the books, or are you diluting the books to represent the time [we’re living in]?’ And I actually think it’s your job to represent the books truthfully and honestly, as they were written.
In the same interview, Smith revealed Daemon rides a dragon named Caraxes.
My dragon’s called Caraxes. He’s a bit of an avatar of Daemon — he’s grumpy, sardonic, insular, volatile, chaotic. There’s a very strong connection between the dragon and the dragonrider.
Tales of the Walking Dead
Tales of the Walking Dead does Naked and Afraid in the synopsis for its fourth episode, “Amy; Dr. Everett.”
In a nature documentary set in the “dead sector” a naturalist who studies walkers encounters a spirited settler; an unlikely respect is forged between the two as the settler tries to argue in favour of people taking back the land from the dead.
Westworld
Westworld adapts a fatalistic attitude in the trailer for its fourth season finale, “Que Será, Será.”
The Cuphead Show!
Finally, Netflix has released a new trailer for the second season of The Cuphead Show! premiering August 19.
