Ghostface goes running in a new look at Scream 6. John Wick: Chapter 4 is going to keep you sitting for a very long time. Colin Farrell’s Penguin series adds more to its cast. Plus, what’s coming on Outlander. To me, my spoilers!

Scooby-Doo and the Haunted High Rise
During a recent appearance on the Smash or Pass podcast (via ComicBook), animator Carolyn Gair revealed the follow-up to Trick or Treat, Scooby-Doo! meant to reunite Mystery, Inc. with the Hex Girls has been cancelled for tax purposes.
I think the Haunted High Rise was even funnier than the first, because we had the Hex Girls, and new songs, and we pulled out all the stops. We had motorcycle chases throughout the hallways. Joe called me and said, ‘Has the studio been in touch with you?’ And I said no. I think this was the beginning of October, and he said, ‘Oh, well somebody should be reaching out to you, I’m afraid it got shelved and it’s a financial decision and I think Warner Bros. is getting a tax credit for shelving it and cancelling it, so it’s dead dead dead, I think because of the merger with Discovery.’ They just took a look at everything that was going to be going into streaming, everything that was going to be going into HBO Max, and just drew a red line through everything, figured out how much they spent. Do you know, the saddest part is it would’ve cost the same to shelve it as it would to make it, because it was already lock picture and in animation. That was another reason for them doing the two movies back-to-back because they had an animation studio they could be feeding work to. It seems so sad, since it’s already so close, but I do not understand the politics or how financial decisions at Warner Bros. get made, but I don’t think they’re going to resuscitate this. My producer keeps saying he doesn’t think it’s going to come back to life. But, maybe, who knows? It was locked picture, all dialogue, songs were recorded, it was ready for animation.

Star Trek: Picard
During a recent interview with ComicBook, showrunner Terry Matalas stated Worf is now “a samurai” for the Klingon Empire in Star Trek: Picard season three.
I tell the story of when I told LeVar [Burton] his whole arc when I got to him. Then, and I can’t spoil it for you, but there’s a key moment towards the end of the season, we were on a Zoom and I looked up and he was crying. And then I started to cry, and I’m like, as a fan, what is happening here? It’s extraordinary. Everything from Worf, crafting Worf, [Michael Dorn]’s like, ‘I do not see Worf as part of Federation anymore. I don’t see him as part of the Klingon Empire.’ And I said, ‘I kind of see him as a samurai.’ And he’s like, ‘I see him as a samurai too.’ And I’m like, ‘What if he has a sword on his back?’ And he’s like, ‘That sounds cool.’ I mean, that’s just great. You get to geek out and create with your heroes, people I grew up watching. There’s really nothing better than that.
