Seriously do people even read the question before answering? Any show that has still an active following, even attempts of rebooting it already and cross-media content still released today has very high chances to get rebooted...

It's the show no one remembers that have no chance, so there's thousands of them but they won't be cited in this thread because nobody even talk about them.

> they stressed that they will not part of any reboot.

I'm not sure how that answers the question. Tons of reboots, sequels and such are done without the original people involved.

The fact they even think to ask the question and answer it means it's actually a very real possibility.

Knowing Hollywood, I'd say any show that people even remember could be rebooted/sequelized/whatever.

Doesn't need to Joss to do it. Plenty of shows are rebooted without the original creator. The fact that still get other media stuff means it could be rebooted one day.

In fact, I would say any show that people even remember about now could be rebooted. The ones that can't are the ones that got a few episodes only before getting cancelled and that nobody remembers

Speaking of FX, when the fuck does their Shogun series comes out?

It has been years since they talked of it.

It already does that. Now Withings will judge them too

Pee do not come out of your ass.

Also it's too late because they already reproduced themselves (presumably if they buy a stroller). So the natural selection didn't work actually.

No they buy other companies too. They bought LinkedIn too, nothing to do with gaming

> Or a fallout live action show.

That's already happening with Amazon FYI. They don't really need to buy Netflix to make shows, they just need to associate with a production studio and do them, they'll find a distributor (Netflix is very into video games adaptation but others too). They already did for Cuphead and Halo btw

Microsoft is expanding into other businesses than those core ones (where they dominate anyway, they don't have much more to do). You could say the same of Activision Blizzard acquisition, why they go into games (though they already are)? It's obvious they want to go into entertainment.

Though if they do want to buy a streamer, I doubt it'll be Netflix. My guess is Warner Bros Discovery, wait more for the crisis to get a cheaper price (though you still have the debt so it's expensive but Microsoft can afford it and they feel like spending it seems at the moment, they overpaid for Activision) and get it.

They get very strong IP (DC notably but also Game of Thrones and tons of stuff from Warner over the years), prestige TV with HBO, reality TV stuff with Discovery (we can not like it here, it's popular), video game studios with strong IP in DC (might counter the Marvel focus of Sony) and Harry Potter (the new upcoming game seems destined for success and probably sequels). Sure they don't get as much subscribers at once but still there's more than Netflix here IMO and it's cheaper.

To be fair, I'm happy they don't have IP. They might be the only ones to actually do new things (though adaptations of new stuff still count as IP I guess but it's different).

HBO would just have suited their prestige programming very well. And they also had IP with that of course including probably the biggest in TV with Game of Thrones.

The Good American is certainly coming. /s

For American, wasn't it mostly the American Crime/Horror Story saga mostly.

Yeah I really think they should have got it before Discovery (because now the Discovery part don't interest them).

Content distribution of what? They both have their streaming service already...

Many others too like Avatar. The Marvel movies now are IMAX enhanced on Disney+ which includes that.

To be fair, I always preferred the bigger aspect ratio of IMAX (or TV I guess it's close enough), it makes a film bigger (be it on TV or on screen), don't know why it's not more spread out considering it's also how our TV are

> One Piece(Netflix)

Really? When has a live action anime adaptation even be passable? They are always terrible.

Speaking of, where is that Avatar TLA live action show, hasn't it been announced way before many other shows coming sooner?

Late 2023 would be 2 years, seems reasonable. Will go much faster for the second season, the first season they had to figure everything out and make the creative team, grow the studio to a much bigger one... I believe in 2023 (mostly I hope)

Red Rising TV show is in the works since a long time and could be glorious if done well (expensive though).

Mass Effect is also a very interesting project IMO and yeah Bobiverse would be cool (as would be Artemis and Project Hail Mary of course). Wool is great and upcoming already (pretty advanced).

Of course, also want to see Stormlight and the Cosmere in general, seems that has moved on that front recently from Sanderson comments. Interested to see Percy Jackson with the author involved too.

So many good books (and more) to adapt. If you can't do original stuff Hollywood, at least adapt more new stuff.

It'll mostly be interesting because those books doesn't seem to make for good TV so really interesting to see how they'll adapt it.

> Fox had Marvel properties and Disney wanted them so they bought Fox.

Except it's wrong, Disney didn't buy Fox for a few Marvel right, that would be a disastrous purchase to pay 71 billions for that. They bought it for the whole studios and the catalogue of movies/TV they got to launch their streaming service and because Fox was selling anyway and they'd prefer to be the ones to get it. It also wasn't a big company buying a small one. Fox was almost as big as Disney.

As I said, the purchase would have been made exactly the same if Fox didn't have Marvel rights

Unlike what Reddit claims, this has absolutely no value on why they made this deal. If they didn't have that, they would have done exactly the same thing.

EDIT : people don't seem to understand what I mean, thought it was obvious. Of course Disney knew they had it and evaluated it. It wasn't the incentive behind the acquisition and they would have done the same thing even if they didn't have the rights (hell a lot of theories, though not confirmed, were saying they would have gotten the rights back even without acquiring it themselves)

Depends if the season is built for it or not. Stranger Things split worked very well because it was placed at a point perfect for it.

IMO that's what I always defended, a show release schedule should be based on creative reasons and not business reasons as it is now. Especially since with streaming there's no reason to have weekly stuff they don't have time slots to fill.

To take some recent shows examples :

• Stranger Things split was perfectly placed, it's mostly a long movie type show so the binge release make sense. But then, they have that big twist/reveal at the end of E7 and E8 and 9 are extra long for the finale so it works well to split it here.

• House of the Dragon each episode has its own identity with an internal story that was ending by the end of the episode. With the time skips it makes even more sense to have each episode separated by a week (could have been less than a week but technically HBO still is a linear TV channel after all)

• Andor was made in 3-episodes arcs and that's clearly how it should have been released. The premiere worked perfectly because of that, they should have continued that 3 episodes a week (or at least every 2 weeks or something but still put it out as a 3-episode block). Another great example of this 3-episode arcs that actually followed that schedule was Arcane.

• Rings of Power is of the long movie format and suffered in a weekly release, it should have been a binge release completely

I mean switftness we knew of, those are private discussions we don't know about that have probably been going on for a long time

I feel like people are praising Iger a little too much. A lot of the stuff we have now come directly from his tenure to be honest. Considering the time to make a project, pretty much all shows and movies have been started under him (hell for most he is even the one that announced it at that Investor Day when they launched Disney+). Also his track record is far from perfect, he is mostly responsible for the state of Star Wars for example, his last big movie was The Rise of Skywalker and he launched all the show projects. Ironically something like Andor maybe wouldn't have been done the same under him as apparently, he doesn't want content too adult on Disney+.

He also actually chose Chapek as CEO knowing how he works (he was the boss of the parks division and had a reputation there)

Considering Chapek was only there 2 years (including a big part of that where the entire comapny was basically frozen with no parks, no cruise, no production, no theaters), it's not like he had the time to do much. The little he did didn't look good though.

Also, Amazon is already on the map as being one of the biggest companies and website on the planet lol. People know about Amazon and Prime more than any show can do it.
