Should Evil be picked up for a new season after Paramount+ cancellation?

Despite three acclaimed seasons before it, Paramount+ is ending Evil with season 4, leaving many longtime fans of the show disappointed in the decision, and I am certainly one of them. While the buildup to the apocalypse with the birth of the Antichrist does feel well-suited to close the show out soon, season 4 feels a little too early, with a fifth season seeming better suited to not rush this kind of conclusion, and while it's unclear how the show will end, I would nonetheless love to see more investigations from Ben, David and Kristen.

Is it time for Grey’s Anatomy to get rid of Meredith Grey?

Grey’s Anatomy season 21 will feature Meredith Grey despite her exit during Grey’s Anatomy season 19. Since she left, she has been a constant fixture in the series, popping in and out of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, with characters occasionally traveling to Boston to visit her. Though it’s nice to see the original main character and get updates on her, her appearances can mess with the flow of the episodes, as they seem random and have to be planned around Ellen Pompeo’s schedule. I’m conflicted when it comes to Meredith leaving the show. I would like to see her in major episodes, but I don’t think she should be in as many episodes as last season.

Will The Walking Dead season 12 happen?

The Walking Dead ended with season 11. At the moment, there are no plans for the series to make a return for season 12 or more, as the focus of TWD universe is on the spinoff projects that are currently airing and other possible ideas of how to push the franchise in exciting new ways. However, multiple people involved with the shows have talked about the possibility of doing a crossover event between the spinoffs, reuniting characters like Rick and Daryl at least one more time. While it should not be called season 12, that reunion has to happen at some point.

Will Penny's Big Bang Theory spin-off focus on her childhood, like Young Sheldon?

There has been further discussion that Penny will be getting her own spin-off inThe Big Bang Theoryuniverse. While I'm concerned that so many new shows connected toTBBTare being commissioned, I'd be happy to see a spin-off focus on Penny. I'm intrigued to learn more about her upbringing in Nebraska, especially her relationship with her brother, and I think it'll be good for the franchise to move its focus over to one of its non-geniuses.

Should there be a Bel-Air season 4?

Bel-Air season 3 ended with some crazy cliffhangers that could be answered with a potential season 4. Peacock hasn’t renewed the series yet, but it would be a shame for the series to end when there’s clearly so much more to be explored with the characters and stories. Bel-Air is a unique reboot that honors the show it’s based on without feeling like a stale remake. I hope Bel-Air gets renewed, and I look forward to seeing where the story goes next.

Will All American season 7 be too different without Spencer James?

All Americanseason 7 was a surprise to most viewers, who assumed the show would come to an end after the last season. While the show will be returning, Spencer James won't be part of the story even though Olivia Baker will be featured on a recurring basis. WithAll Americanhaving followed Spencer's journey from the beginning, I'm worried that the season will be far too different without him involved. Though there are other characters to follow, I fear without Spencer, the stories may feel too isolated.

Would you want to see more of Young Justice?

Young Justiceis one of those shows that I actively find myself missing, and I'm really hoping Max eventually picks it up for a fifth season. The season 4 ending had such a fun cliffhanger, and I'd really love to see a final showdown between the heroes and the Light, given how much time the show spent building up its antagonist. It's one of the best portrayals of the DC universe we have, and I'd happily tune in for more.

Do you want to see Matthew Gray Gubler’s Spencer Reid on Criminal Minds: Evolution?

While Matthew Gray Gubler has directed a few episodes of the Criminal Minds reboot, his character Dr. Spencer Reid hasn’t appeared on the show. Written off with an extended sabbatical, Reid doesn’t seem to be anyone at the BAU’s focus, but Matthew Gray Gubler alluded to the idea of coming back for the next season of the series. While I love Spencer, I don’t know if it makes sense for him to return to the BAU on a non-permanent basis.

Is a Supernatural revival more likely after Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins' The Boys reunion?

I'm excited about the Supernatural reunion that is happening in The Boys season 5, with Jensen Ackles returning as the fan-favorite Soldier Boy and Jared Padalecki & Misha Collins joining the superhero satire series in undisclosed roles. Padalecki revealed in an interview that, in 2020, they had talked about waiting five years to get together and talk about a Supernatural sequel. That time has come, and we're getting the trio that led the show back together in The Boys, so I think that experience could very well lead to them wanting to team up once more for Supernatural season 16.

Do you still want to see Mindhunter season 3?

Maybe it's because I only watchedMindhunterfor the first time last year, but I'm fully down for more. It's such an unbelievable series, and I'm disappointed that my two least favorite David Fincher movies have been the product of season 3's absence. I certainly don't think it's too late to revive it.

Which Criminal Minds Character Should Return In Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 3?

Between Criminal Minds and the revival Criminal Minds: Evolution season 3 confirmed, the serial killer series is going into its 18th season. Over the years, many characters have come and gone, including Elle Greenaway, Aaron Hotchner, Spencer Reid, Derek Morgan, Matt Simmons, Alex Blake, Kate Callahan, and more. Since these characters weren’t killed off like Jason Gideon and Stephen Walker, there’s a chance they could return in Criminal Minds: Evolution season 3. Based on the conspiracy theory themes in Criminal Minds: Evolution, I believe Elle would be the most interesting returning character. She left in Criminal Minds season 2 and has been barely mentioned since, and I think her return would be shocking and thrilling, whether she comes back to work with the FBI, becomes a vigilante killer, or both.

Do you think Iron Man saw Lady Death at the end of Avengers: Endgame?

When Iron Man sacrifices himself and dies at the end ofAvengers: Endgame, it seems as though he likely met Lady Death herself, Aubrey Plaza's character who made her debut in Marvel's newAgatha All Alongseries. Coming from the original comics, Lady Death is the embodiment of death itself charged with guiding those who've crossed over to the other side. To that end, I think this means that Lady Death has been there for every major MCU death, including Iron Man's (though perhaps she doesn't always present herself so directly as she did with Alice Wu-Gulliver and Nicholas Scratch).

Will you be watching Dick Wolf’s newest series, On Call?

Although Dick Wolf shows can be hit or miss, he currently monopolizes many of the procedural franchises on network TV and is making his way to streaming. In his new series On Call, which will stream on Amazon Prime, the storied TV show creator will follow emergency services along with some interesting investigators. I think that I’ll likely be checking out On Call to see a different style of procedural.

Did Squid Game season 2 kill Thanos too soon?

Squid Game season 2 managed to once again deliver a suspense-filled season full of surprises. While the show's dark and serious tone was also back for its new year, Thanos, a new player in season 2, stole the show with his hilarious antics even though the rapper was a villain. Shockingly, Thanos had a rather abrupt death after being stabbed. The Netflix show's creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, also believes it was abrupt, but it "was the right time to see him off." While I would have liked to see more of Thanos, I thought his death was effective.

That is totally not all of Avengers: Doomsday's cast, right?

Marvel Studios revealed Avengers: Doomsday's cast during a livestream that lasted over five hours. There were some expected names, like Anthony Mackie's Captain America and the MCU's Fantastic Four, and surprises, like many returning stars from Fox's original X-Men movies, but I couldn't help but feel that several actors were missing. No Tom Holland, Benedict Cumberbatch, or Chris Pratt feels strange. As such, I don't believe that Marvel has announced Avengers: Doomsday's cast. The studio might have only revealed those that could be filming outside, keeping others a surprise for the film or to be revealed later.

Has Russell T. Davies managed to redeem the Timeless Child?

The Timeless Child was one of the most controversial retcons in Doctor Who history. Everybody expected Russell T. Davies to abandon it when he became showrunner, but instead he's doubled down on it, focusing on the emotional impact of the Doctor being adopted and not knowing their origin. Do you think this "fixes" the Timeless Child? Do you still have issues? Or do you think it never needed fixing in the first place?

Is Avengers: Doomsday going to be the MCU's version of Avengers vs X-Men?

The most shocking part of Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal was how many actors from Fox's original X-Men franchise were confirmed for the MCU movie. Based on how they are likely to come from Beast's universe from The Marvels' post-credits scene, I think we are getting a version of the comics' Avengers vs X-Men. Both universes could be part of an incursion, leading to the two teams fighting to save their own universe while Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom orchestrates the whole thing.

Why there shouldn't be an Adolescence season 2

Adolescence's writers have confirmed that there will not be a season 2, and I think this is the right decision. It's impressive howAdolescencemanages to avoid answering so many questions, but in a way that still feels complete. Too many shows are dragged out for the sake of ratings, even when the story isn't there, and I'm glad this won't be the case forAdolescence. Jamie's story is an unfortunate reality for many, and the fact his fate is left unclear, as well as details about the murder weapon's location, only reaffirmsAdolescence's message.

Should there be a 1923 season 3?

I loved1923season 1 but have been pretty disappointed about the pacing of season 2. With that in mind, I'd be opened to another run, as I'm worried the finale will end up being underwhelming, with only two episodes left to resolve every storyline. Alternatively, it might be interesting to end it abruptly as Sheridan did with1883and then pick up the story with 1944.

Does Avengers: Doomsday's cast have too many characters now?

After today's casting announcements, I'm growing concerned thatAvengers: Doomsdayis just going to be bloated with references and cameos and not have any actual development. I mean, there are literally dozens of characters they'll have to make time for, along with pushing the MCU's story further. Sure,Infinity WarandEndgamehad massive casts, but there was a clear narrative set up for years so the films could just jump right into the action and settings.
