Angels are coming to Evil, and apparently, they’re not not evil. Scott Lang’s Ant-Man autobiography has somehow become a real thing you can read. Plus, Velma gets ready to solve her first-season mystery. And I would have gotten away with it, too, if not for these meddling spoilers!

The Lighthouse Witches
Deadline reports Vera Miao (Two Sentence Horror Stories) is now developing a TV series based on C.J. Cooke’s 2021 novel, The Lighthouse Witches, at Studiocanal and The Picture Company. Cooke’s novel follows a mother and her three daughters as they “arrive on a mysterious Scottish island to run a decrepit lighthouse. When single mother Liv is commissioned to paint a mural in a 100-year-old lighthouse on a remote Scottish island, it’s an opportunity to start over with her three daughters–Luna, Sapphire, and Clover. When two of her daughters go missing, she’s frantic. She learns that the cave beneath the lighthouse was once a prison for women accused of witchcraft. The locals warn her about wildlings, supernatural beings who mimic human children, created by witches for revenge. Liv is told wildlings are dangerous and must be killed. Twenty-two years later, Luna has been searching for her missing sisters and mother. When she receives a call about her youngest sister, Clover, she’s initially ecstatic. Clover is the sister she remembers–except she’s still seven years old, the age she was when she vanished. Luna is worried Clover is a wildling. Luna has few memories of her time on the island, but she’ll have to return to find the truth of what happened to her family. But she doesn’t realise just how much the truth will change her.”

Evil
In conversation with TV Line, co-showrunner Robert King confirmed the third season of Evil will focus on angelic entities that are no less frightening than demons.
The interest of the show is to try to keep things scary, funny, dramatic and emotional and the problem you have with the divine is often that it’s not as dramatic or not as horrifying as the satanic — until you read the Bible and see how terrifying angels are. The last word out of that angel’s mouth was hope, and then that seemed kind of corny and we dropped it. But I do think that our idea is to try to find a way to balance the horrifying with the more hopeful.
The Flash
TV Line’s Matt Ausiello also revealed the season nine premiere of The Flash includes “a brief pillow fight, lotsa shirtless Barry, and an ‘Ooh, did I hear that correctly?’ name-drop from another Arrowverse series.”
Velma
Finally, Velma must find a way to recover her mother’s memories in the trailer for “The Brains of the Operation,” her first season finale at HBO Max.
