17 Januar y 2019After a fair bit of behind-the-scenes drama, the second season of Discovery still seems to be on
course as franchise vet Alex Kurtzman has stepped in as showrunner following the firing of Aaron
Harberts and Gretchen J Berg. We’ll have our main feature in the next issue but we can’t wait to see
how Pike and Spock fit into the Disco storyline, and how Dr Culber will return...

- The OA
Season Two
Showrunner: Brit Marling, Zal Batmanglij
Cast: Brit Marling, Jason Isaacs
Release date: TBC
The OA Season One left us with a lot more
questions than answers – as did the Season
Two teaser trailer.Something Always Survives
Those words accompanied the launch of the
teaser trailer, and the braille word that pops
up on screen means ‘survive’ – does this mean
that Prairie survived?The Golden Gate Bridge
The iconic bridge was briefly glimpsed
during Homer’s weird near death experience
flashback, so this could mean that we
will find out a lot more about Homer in
Season Two.| (^019)
- Avenue 5
Showrunner: Armando Iannucci
Cast: Hugh Laurie, Rebecca Front
Release date: TBC
HBO has ordered a sci-fi comedy pilot
from Armando Iannucci. We don’t know
much about it, except that it will be set on
a space ship and, if Iannucci’s other work is
anything to go by, it will be sweary, smart,
political and absolutely hilarious.- Raised By Wolves
Cast: TBA
Creator: Aaron Guzikowski
Released: 2020 TBC
Ridley Scott is producing this SF series
about human children being raised by
androids in space from Prisoners writer
Aaron Guzikowski. From the limited
information we have to go on, it sounds as
though Scott will be continuing to explore
the ways in which AI will overtake us.- The Testaments
Writer: Margaret Atwood
Publisher: Chatto & Windus
Release date: 10 September 2019
Margaret Atwood has
announced she will return to the
world from The Handmaid’s Tale:
“Everything you’ve ever asked
me about Gilead and its inner
workings is the inspiration for this book,”
she said. “Well, almost everything! The other
inspiration is the world we’ve been living in.”- The Mandalorian
Stars: Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Nick Nolte
Creator: Jon Favreau
Release date: 2020 TBC
The details surrounding the live-action Star
Wars TV series are being kept hush-hush, but
we do know that the great Nick Nolte has just
signed up to star. Set between Revenge Of The
Sith and A New Hope, we do know that creator
Jon Favreau has assembled a formidable
directors’ roster, including Taika Waititi, Bryce
Dallas Howard and Deborah Chow.Kaos, Away, Recursion,
Chronicles Of Narnia, Avatar:
The Last Airbender, Cowboy
Bebop, Roald Dahl universe
series, Cursed...- Picard
Stars: Patrick Stewart
Creator: TBA
Released: 2020 TBC
Since Patrick Stewart shared
that picture of the formidable writers’
room that had been assembled for
the Picard solo show, it’s all gone a
bit quiet. What we do know is that
the show will be set roughly 20 years
after Nemesis in a different time and
place, and that CBS is interested in
seeing it go beyond one season.
As for who the showrunner will be
and whether or not the rest of the
Enterprise crew will appear, well...
we’ll have to wait and see.
