In a development that no one could see coming, HBO has canceled Westworld a mere season before the show was supposed to reach its explosive final chapter. As sci-fi fans brace for this devastating blow to one of the most prized television shows in recent memory, Netflix is doubling down on its commitment to the Stranger Things franchise by holding a sizeable festival on Sunday.
Now, there might be some debate as to whether Star Wars is truly sci-fi and not a strange amalgamation of space soap opera and fantasy, but when it comes to the TV industry, the galaxy far, far away is singlehandedly championing the genre. The latest example of this is Andor, absolutely sticking the landing even though it wasn’t quite on the heels of Rogue One, another one of Disney’s Star Wars hits, which have been few and far between. The spinoff prequel show is concluding soon, but Tony Gilroy and his team are immediately jumping to film the second season.
