Despite previously renewing the series back in March, Disney+ has canceled Wonder Man. Series star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II earned an Emmy nomination for the first, and now only season of the Marvel series. 

Season two of Leanne premieres August 27 on Netflix. Leanne’s (Leanne Morgan) world is turned upside down when her husband of 33 years unexpectedly leaves her for another woman. Supported by her family, including her ride-or-die sister Carol (Kristen Johnston), Leanne learns to embrace the chaos and finds strength, laughter and hope in the most unexpected places. This heartfelt comedy proves that it’s never too late to rewrite your story. 

Earle Meets World premieres September 4 on Netflix. Gen-Z’s ultimate It Girl, Alix Earle, is making the next big jump in her career.

Ricky Gervais Alley Cats premieres August 7 on Netflix. Outrageous misadventures run wild as feral cats cause chaos on the streets in this no-holds-barred animated comedy from Ricky Gervais. 

Paramount+ has ordered a Clueless event series starring original movie star Alicia Silverstone. The project was initially passed on at Peacock. Silverstone will reprise her role as the Beverly Hills’ it-girl Cher Horowitz and will also serve as an executive producer for the series, set to begin production in Los Angeles in 2027. Picking up 30 years after the original film, beloved Beverly Hills icon Cher Horowitz has figured out a lot: She’s successful in business and has mastered motherhood – that is, until her daughter’s high school years, and Cher finds that parenting a teenager makes her feel “clueless” all over again. 

Starz has ordered You Are Here based on the book by David Nicholls. Matthew Macfadyen and Claire Foy will lead the cast as Michael and Marnie respectively. When a mutual friend throws them together, Marnie and Michael unexpectedly find themselves setting off on an epic walk. Against the odds, they end up on the brink of a relationship that neither was looking for, but which might be exactly the one they both need. It is about finding a connection when you least expect it and overcoming the obstacles of midlife. Treading the tricky path from loneliness to love, Marnie and Michael go coast-to-coast across the stunning (and sometimes soaking) English countryside, navigating an undeniable attraction that is as exhilarating as it is terrifying.
