The main one is the aforementioned “Reboot,” created by Steven Levitan. The show follows a showrunner (played by “Crazy Ex Girlfriend’s” Rachel Bloom) who pitches a reboot of the 2000s-era sitcom “Step Right Up.” Unfortunately, her plans for the reboot are fraught with issues, including an acrimonious lead couple (Judy Greer and Keegan-Michael Key) and another with legal issues (Johnny Knoxville). The trailer for the series looks like a fun mash-up of 2000s-era nostalgia—no doubt there will be some sly digs at Levitan’s “Modern Family”—as well as some commentary on why shows like this have changed in the last 20 years....

Part of the “Harry Potter” universe, “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” pits Dumbledore (Jude Law) against rebel Gellert Grindelwald (Mads Mikkelsen) in a battle to protect the fate of mankind living alongside wizard. “The Secrets of Dumbledore” premieres April 15 in theaters. “Memory is everything,” an older and wiser Dumbledore says in the new trailer. “Without it, we are blind. Without it, we leave the fate of our world to chance....

After the 20-episode Hulu revival was announced sans John DiMaggio, who voices robot Bender, “Futurama” fans threatened to boycott the series using hashtag #BenderGate on social media.

In fact, it’s unspeakably lucrative. Mobile analytics firm Sensor Tower reported that “Genshin Impact” generated approximately $393 million within two months of its September 28 launch and it now makes more than $6 million per day. (That doesn’t even include revenue from the game’s PC and console versions.) Published by mobile game developer miHoYo, “Genshin Impact” is a free-to-play mobile RPG that also works and looks great on PC and PlayStation 4....

As this story has dominated the conversation, it was inevitable that Carano would pop up somehow in this weekend’s episode of “Saturday Night Live,” hosted by “One Night in Miami” Oscar contender Regina King. That reference came in the form of a “Weekend Update” bit from the segment’s co-anchor Colin Jost (opposite Michael Che). “Yeah I don’t know if ‘Star Wars’ is the authority on what’s anti-Semitic,” he said. Then, he played a clip of Watto, the junk dealer from “The Phantom Menace,” which at the time sparked allegations of ethnic stereotype....

For White, the project represented the fulfillment of his childhood dreams. “I was a total space nut,” he told IndieWire. “I spent my entire childhood wanting to be an astronaut.” Although White had been pitched space movies before, he never found a story worth pursuing until Peter Berg’s Film 45 and Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment approached him with the Opportunity project.
