“A mix of zombie drama and family revenge comedy”? That certainly sounds right up our street.

Just such a project is happening, with Amazon developing a half-hour comedy pilot for a show called Sea Oak. And now, the series has moved to bring in Don’t Breathe and the Evil Dead’s Jane Levy to feature in the pilot. She joins the already-announced Glenn Close in Sea Oak.

The early word on this series reads:

Sea Oak revolves around Aunt Bernie (Close), a meek, unmarried woman with no children in working-class Rust Belt City who dies tragically in a home invasion. Compelled by sheer force of dissatisfaction, she comes back from the dead full of rage and determined to get the life she never had. She proceeds to inflict a range of demands on what’s left of her nuclear family, including a quasi-stripper nephew and two feckless nieces, who live in a low-end subsidized hellhole of a housing complex called Sea Oak.

Expect more on Sea Oak as it continues to develop.

One of the most eye-catching projects currently in development in Castle Rock, the Hulu series being based around the fictional town that appears in so many of Stephen King’s classic works. And now the series has moved to bring in two names who’ll certainly be familiar to horror hounds.

As per Deadline, the series has brought in Don’t Breathe and the Evil Dead remake’s Jane Levy and none other than genre icon Sissy Spacek. Spacek, of course, famously headlined Brian De Palma’s adaptation of King’s Carrie. The pair join Moonlight’s Andre Holland in Castle Rock. In the show, Levy will play a death-obsessed historian called Jackie, whilst Spacek will play Ruth Deaver, the adoptive mother of Holland’s Henry and someone who is a retired professor who potentially holds the key to Castle Rock’s eerie past.

Set in a world draped in famed King lore, Castle Rock is being developed by J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions and Warner Bros. TV. The series will “combine the mythological scale and intimate character storytelling of King’s best-loved works, weaving an epic saga of darkness and light, played out on a few square miles of Maine woodland.”

Earlier this week saw it rumoured that Lady Gaga would be returning for the upcoming seventh season of American Horror Story. Seemingly that’s not the case.

The source of the initial rumour was Vogue Magazine, with their recent issue claiming that Gaga would be back for the US election-themed new season. Now, EW has moved to confirm that the singer-turned-actress won’t be back for Season 7. Gaga, of course, famously had a huge role to play in American Horror Story: Hotel – for which she won an Emmy – before having a small role in Roanoke.

Drawing inspiration from last year’s US election, confirmed to return for the new season are Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Billy Eichner, Billie Lourd, Cheyenne Jackson, Adina Porter, Leslie Grossman, and Colton Haynes.

Following last week’s news that Arrow’s Colton Haynes has joined the upcoming seventh season of American Horror Story, now comes a rumour regarding a potential returning face for this fan favourite genre show.

Now, this is far from official, but the @AHSLeak Twitter account has picked up on an interesting piece of information from Vogue Magazine. In a feature on Lady Gaga, the mag claims that: “She’ll return for an undisclosed role in the election-themed 2017 series set to debut in September.”

Despite many initially believing that her casting in American Horror Story: Hotel was merely a cheap marketing ploy, it turned out that the singer-turned-actress was actually pretty good. In fact, it turned out that she was pretty damn excellent – even nabbing a Golden Globe for her performance.

AHS as a series, of course, has a habit to bring back cast members for each differing season, with Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, and Billy Eichner returning names to have already been announced for Season 7. In terms of new additions, the aforementioned Haynes is joined by Billie Lourd, Cheyenne Jackson, and Leslie Grossman.

Plot-wise, this next season of American Horror Story will pull inspiration from last year’s US election.

As ever, expect more on this as we get it.

We’ve known that Marvel’s Inhumans was getting an initial IMAX run on September 1st, and now the details have been revealed about the series’ television premiere.

If you remember, the unique plan for Inhumans is to have the first two episodes released on IMAX screens for a two-week period. After that, the full series will head to the ABC network in the US. And now, ABC has announced that the small screen premiere date has been set as September 29th.

The current official word on the show reads:

Marvel’s Inhumans explores the never-before-told epic adventure of the royal family including Black Bolt, the enigmatic, commanding King of the Inhumans, with a voice so powerful that the slightest whisper can destroy a city. After the Royal Family of Inhumans is splintered by a military coup, they barely escape to Hawaii where they are greeted with surprising interactions with the lush world and humanity around them. Now they must find a way to reunite with each other and return to their home before their way of life is destroyed forever.

On board to star in the currently-shooting Inhumans are Anson Mount, Serinda Swan, Iwan Rheon, Eme Ikwuakor, Isabelle Cornish, Ken Leung, Ellen Woglom, Sonya Balmores, and Mike Moh.

At this stage, there’s no news on where the show will find a home here in the UK.
