In recent years, numerous TV shows got pre-sequels, spin-offs, and remakes. So, it's wrong to say that only the movies get spin-offs, sequels, prequels, reboots, and remakes. We have been waiting for “Prison Break: Resurrection,” “Young Sheldon,” “Star Trek: Discovery,” and “Twin Peaks.” The good news is that these TV programs are in post-production, which means they will be out in next few months.
‘Prison Break: Resurrection’
“Prison Break: Resurrection” is one of the most exciting shows of Fox. This popular series ran for four seasons, and the fifth season is currently in works.
The story is about two brothers who face numerous problems in their lives. The show features Wentworth Miller as Michael Scofield and Dominic Purcell as Lincoln Burrows. Amaury Nolasco, Paul Adelstein, Robert Knepper, Rockmond Dunbar, and Sarah Wayne Callies are returning from the original series. Fox reveals that Mark Feuerstein, Inbar Lavi, Augustus Prew, Marina Benedict, Rick Yune, and Steve Mouzakis play the supporting roles. Production on the series began in the mid of 2016, and 80% work has been finished. A recently released trailer shows Michael’s son asking about his father, so we want to know if Michael and Sara have reunited or not.
‘Young Sheldon’
CBS announces that “Young Sheldon” will be aired this summer.
The channel has signed Jon Favreau to direct and co-produce this project. Its executive producer is Chuck Lorre, and Steven Molaro has penned the script. The story is about Sheldon Cooper (Iain Armitage), who lives in Texas with his family. Lance Barber makes a comeback as Sheldon’s father, and Raegan Revord and Montana-Jordan play his siblings.
Zoe Perry has joined the cast as Sheldon’s mother. The show will be aired this September, and consists of 18 episodes.
‘Star Trek: Discovery’
“Star Trek: Discovery” is an upcoming TV series by Bryan Fuller and Alex Kurtzman. The story is about the incidents of the original "Star Trek" series. Gretchen J. Berg and Aaron Harberts have been hired as showrunners, while Akiva Goldsman is serving as the producer.
According to CBS, this spin-off will be aired this October and consists of 13 episodes. The cast includes Sonequa Martin-Green, Terry Serpico, Maulik Pancholy, Sam Vartholomeos, and James Frain.
‘Twin Peaks’
HBO Nordic acquires rights to the new season of “Twin Peaks.” David Lynch directs the project, and its cast includes Kyle MacLachlan, Sheryl Lee, Madchen Amick, Dana Ashbrook and Ray Wise. HBO Nordic reveals that the show will be launched on May 22, 2017. David Lynch and Mark Frost are returning from the original series. It’s been a long time when David and Mark worked together, so fans have high expectations.
‘The Defenders’
This upcoming miniseries brings together top performers of Marvel and Netflix.
Charlie Cox appears as Daredevil, and Krysten Ritter is returning as Jessica Jones. You will also see Mike Colter as Luke Cage, and Finn Jones as Iron Fist. The story is based on a book of the same name. Marvel confirms its collaboration with ABC Studios for this project. The show is currently in the works and would be launched in a few months.
We look forward to these exciting shows and have high expectations.
