In their continuing plot to take over the television and movie world, Netflix announced that starting in September they will be the exclusive streaming home for all Disney properties. That means that beginning with 2016 theatrical releases, titles from Disney, Walt Disney Animation, Pixar, Marvel Studios, Disneynature, and Lucasfilm will be made available to Netflix subscribers to watch during that first pay TV time period, which occurs after the Digital, Blu-ray, and DVD releases, an option that in previous years would go to HBO or STARZ.

HBO’s Westworld, the series that seemed like the Sisyphus of the HBO universe, finally got a release window in late fall of 2016. Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy wrote the script with Nolan directing the pilot and finale of the project based on the 1973 Yul Brynner-James Brolin film. Westworld takes place at a resort set in a future where guests pay to act out elaborate fantasies in different time periods run by sophisticated human-like androids. HBO hasn’t released an exact date, but they’re finally pulling the trigger on the much hyped series and not holding off until 2017, like early reports had reported.

In Cancellation and Renewal News, Limitless at CBS appears to be the last victim post up-fronts; FX’s The Americans is also ending but only after the announced Season 5 in 2017 and Season 6 in 2018. And during a Hollywood Reporter discussion with HBO’s new head of production, Casey Bloys, it appears that we may never see a True Detective Season 3.

SUPERHERO RUNDOWN
