The Geek TV News has been coming in, and it's time for another Round-Up!
The CW revealed that it will not recast the Kate Kane character on their Batwoman series according to The Hollywood Reporter. In March, Ruby Rose abruptly bailed from the series leaving Batwoman without a lead actress (see "Ruby Rose off 'Batwoman'"). Show producers have opted to create a new character to don the Batwoman suit, and that character is reportedly "nothing like Kate Kane" according to the Decider. More details should become available as the casting calls continue. Legendary Entertainment inked a development deal for the best-selling comic series Black Hammer. Jeff Lemire and Dean Ormston's Dark Horse series has been one of the hottest titles on the rack, and they announced a spinoff series earlier this year (see "'Black Hammer' Spinoff Series Explores the Mind of Colonel Weird "). ABC's Stumptown will be returning for a second season. The American crime drama that debuted in 2019 (see "Trailer for ‘Stumptown’"), starring Cobie Smulders and Jake Johnson, announced the renewal on their Twitter feed on May 21. Netflix's Umbrella Academy will be kicking off S2 on July 31. S2 was originally announced last year in April to be a 10-episode run with the core cast returning to assume their lead roles (see "'Umbrella Academy' Renewed").The Mandalorian has added Timothy Olyphant to their cast for the S2 run according to Variety. His role in the series remains under wraps, but he joins other strong new cast adds including Michael Biehn, Rosario Dawson, and Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett (see "Boba Fett Cast for 'The Mandalorian'").
DC Universe released new key art for their Doom Patrol series (in Gallery). The new season of Doom Patrol begins streaming on June 25 (see " 'Doom Patrol’ S2 Gets Date").
