'Land of the Lost' Reboot Coming Back To Life At Netflix
Not much else is known, but a search for a writer is underway. Debuting in 1974, the show follows Rick Marshall (Spencer Milligan) and his kids Will (Wesley Eure) and Holly (Kathy Coleman), who accidentally go through a portal and find themselves in a mysterious land inhabited by dinosaurs and prehistoric species, including a T-Rex nicknamed Grumpy, reptilian humanoids called Sleestak, and primate-like people named Pakuni, one of whom became their friend, Cha-Ka.
Some of the creatures were notably brought to life using stop-motion animation, and despite its short three-season run, Land of the Lost achieved cult classic status. The upcoming reboot marks a third revival, following a two-season remake in 1991 and a 2009 film featuring Will Ferrell. Sid and Marty Krofft Productions also produced both projects.
It isn't Netflix's first attempt at reimagining classic adventures. The streamer has previously rebooted Lost in Space and One Day at a Time , and is currently filming a new Little House on the Prairie .

First Infinity Stone Debuts In Magic: The Gathering Marvel's Spider-Man Crossover Set
It was inevitable. Since the first Marvel-themed Magic: The Gathering card landed in the franchise, it was certain that the Infinity Stones would eventually make their appearance. After all, cards like Fist of Suns and a variant art of Arcane Signet, each alluding to the Infinity Gauntlet, have been teased in Magic: The Gathering. For years, fans speculated and yearned for a collision of two of the world's most expansive pop culture universes: Marvel and Magic. The power of the cosmos will present itself at the humble street level as the upcoming Marvel's Spiderman Universes Beyond Magic: The Gathering set in the form of the Soul Stone. The key aspect of the extended art Soul Stone card is the foiling treatment, which we presume is the maximum rarity the card can achieve. We last saw a similar treatment in the One Ring from the Lord of the Rings Universes Beyond set. Devoid of any text, players will have to remember the card's ability to bring back creatures from the graveyard directly onto the battlefield after paying (or cheating) the hefty card cost. One can safely assume that the Soul Stone will not be the first as players will be looking to assemble the rest of the Infinity Gems. The Soul Stone is likely the starting points for a broader phased release in which the six Infinity Stones will be distributed across various future Marvel Magic: The Gathering sets. If we're to make an educated guess, once players have collected all six stones, and placing it within the Gauntlet, unlocking a special win condition would be the most natural outcome. The only thing left then would be to do this – Gerald currently straddles between his love of video games and board gaming. There's nothing that interests him more than trying out the newest and fanciest gadget in town as well. He dreams of publishing a board game sometime in the future!

'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Revival Reveals New Lead Character Details
Hulu's Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot has officially unveiled the name of its new slayer: Nova. Earlier this year, Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum Sarah Michelle Gellar confirmed that Ryan Kiera Armstrong ( Star Wars: Skeleton Crew ) would step into the lead role for the reboot, with Gellar herself returning in a recurring capacity. At the time, Armstrong's character name was being kept under wraps, but Deadline now reports that she will portray Nova, a fitting choice given the name means 'new' in Latin. Ryan Kiera Armstrong In additional casting news, young actor Kingston Vernes ( So Cold the River ) has been tapped to play Carson, a charismatic Junior Olympian and popular student who will become the object of Nova's affection. Unlike previous one-off casting announcements, Vernes is reportedly set to appear in a recurring role. More details also emerged this week about the reboot's core ensemble, seemingly forming the new 'Scooby Gang', a callback to the original series. The confirmed cast currently includes Sarah Bock ( Severance ) as Gracie, Nova's best friend, Ava Jean ( Law & Order: SVU ) as Larkin, Faly Rakotohavana ( Secret Society of Second-Born Royals ) as Hugo, another close friend who harbours a crush on Nova, Daniel di Tomasso ( Major Crimes ) as Abe, and Jack Cutmore-Scott ( Frasier ) as the enigmatic Mr. Burke, a new school librarian reminiscent of Rupert Giles from the original series. The original Scooby Gang in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997) According to reports, a writer's room has been assembled, and if Hulu gives the green light following the pilot, full production on season one is expected to begin in March 2026. As of now, no other legacy characters beyond Buffy herself have been confirmed to return. However, Gellar, who is also serving as an executive producer on the project, has expressed interest in bringing back more fan-favourite faces. One such possibility is Charisma Carpenter ( The Expendables ), who played Cordelia Chase in the original series and its spin-off Angel . Carpenter recently told IGN she would be open to reprising her role, especially after what she described as an 'unjust' send-off for her character.

When he's not sleeping, he's highly likely reading manga. In fact, the only thing he reads more than manga is the Bible, and it's honestly pretty close.

They'll appear alongside previously announced new additions Claudia Doumit ( The Boys ) and Ellie De Lange ( Blueback ).

(L to R) Jovan Adepo as Dr. Saul Durand and Eiza González as Auggie Salazar in 3 Body Problem (2024) Netflix has kept the season two storyline under wraps, offering only a cryptic teaser: 'As the alien invasion nears, humanity prepares – on Earth and elsewhere.' 3 Body Problem adapts the acclaimed sci-fi trilogy by Chinese author Cixin Liu, chronicling humanity's first contact with an alien civilisation across centuries. Season one debuted to critical acclaim and topped Netflix's global TV charts for weeks. The streamer has since greenlit two additional seasons to complete the trilogy's arc. While Netflix hasn't announced an official release date, season two is expected to premiere in 2026.
