During its D23 Expo on Friday, Disney announced a total of six new original shows that will be made available on its Disney+ streaming service, though not all of them will be available at launch. The shows cover some of the company's biggest properties and will also reboot a classic Disney Channel television series. Multiple actors are on board to work with Disney on its new content.
Earlier this month, OnePlus confirmed that it does indeed have a TV in the works. The company hasn't shared very many details about this TV yet, seemingly preferring to reveal things about it gradually. So far, we've seen the logo and we've learned that it'll launch first in India, and today, OnePlus is sharing the first details about the TV's actual hardware.
OnePlus has always painted itself as somewhat of an industry rebel. With a slogan like "Never Settle", it challenged the mobile market status quo and launched a premium flagship smartphone with a price to die for. It now wants to do the same for what it bills as a stagnating TV industry. The rules of the game, however, are slightly different which is why the company is making what is perhaps its most unusual business decision so far. The OnePlus TV will, for a while, be limited to one and only one market: India.
SunBriteTV makes televisions that are meant to be used outdoors. Not out in the jungle or on a camping trip, but in environments where a person might want to see a TV screen while eating a meal or having a party - places that usually have chairs. The SunBriteTV set we're reviewing today was made for the least extreme of three categories of outdoor-friendly TV, complete with a weather-sealed body for protection from the weather and wildlife.
Unfortunate for fans of the Netflix reboot of She-Ra, He-Man will not be made by the same crew of creatives. Instead, Netflix opted to push their optioning of He-Man in a very, very different direction. The show will be called "Masters of the Universe: Revelation" and showrunner/producer Kevin Smith had some rather excited words to say about its release this week during Power-Con.
Actor Ewan McGregor may resume his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in an upcoming Star Wars TV show, a new report claims. McGregor played the Jedi in three Star Wars movies and has previously expressed a willingness to take up the role again in the future. Disney has already revealed plans to release multiple live-action Star Wars shows on its new Disney+ streaming service.
Classic Nickelodeon cartoon Rocko's Modern Life is back on TV in the form of a new movie called Static Cling. The new movie based on the '90s TV show is available to stream on Netflix, joining a newly launched movie based on the similarly classic Nick show Invader Zim. Netflix subscribers can stream the movies for free starting today.
Netflix has ordered an animated adult comedy series called Agent King from Priscilla Presley and John Eddie. The show will feature Elvis Presley as a covert government spy tasked with battling evil when he's not busy being the King of Rock and Roll, according to the company. Both Eddie and Presley will serve as the show's executive producers.
It seems the trend among smartphone makers is to try their hands at expanding their screens and expanding into the smart TV market. Huawei subsidiary Honor has just revealed its Honor Vision and, not to be outdone, OnePlus is about to do the same. It has now practically confirmed the existence of its first TV products but, without actually divulging anything, it is taking time, a lot of time, to talk about its name and its logo.
During its earnings call today, Disney revealed a planned upcoming bundle that will give cord-cutters access to a huge amount of streaming content for less than $15 per month. The upcoming bundle will center around the Disney+ streaming service scheduled to launch on November 12, and it'll include the ad-supported version of Hulu and the ESPN+ streaming services.
In December 2016, Netflix released the first season for an original show called The OA that quickly climbed to the top of the company's popularity charts. Now, a little more than two years later and months after the second season's release, Netflix has made the decision to cancel the show. The news comes only days after Netflix canceled animated sitcom Tuca & Bertie after a single season.
If you and your partner have a favorite Netflix show but conflicting schedules, you've likely run into one particularly annoying issue: having to choose between watching the show alone or waiting impatiently to watch the show together. This dilemma has resulted in more than a few people secretly watching a show's latest episodes without their partner, something Netflix has addressed with its new co-watching contract.
