Keanu Reeves is apparently on some sort of reunion kick.  Starting on September 13^th, he’ll appear in Waiting for Godot on Broadway alongside Alex Winter – his Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure co-star.  Far more intriguing to me is that the play will be directed by Jamie Lloyd, who is responsible for the revolutionary revision of Sunset Blvd with Nicole Scherzinger.  Keanu is also reuniting with Sandra Bullock in an untitled romantic thriller for Amazon MGM Studios.  They will also be joined by producer Mark Gordon, who produced Speed.

The long-gestating reboot of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer has inched a bit closer to reality.  A few months ago, Hulu announced plans for the series to land on their platform – with Sarah Michelle Geller returning as the titular Buffy.  Joining her will be Ryan Kiera Armstrong, who will play “an introverted high-school student” (according to the character breakdown in the casting call).  She will also be a fledging slayer in her own right.

After years of false starts, a new version of A Different World has landed at Netflix.  This is not a remake of the original, but more of a continuation or a sequel.  This series follows Dwayne and Whitley’s daughter during her time at an HBCU.  The inestimable Debbie Allen is one of the producers and will direct the pilot.

A reboot of the talent competition show Star Search has also landed on Netflix.  According to plans, this show will air live twice weekly and the general public will get to vote.  Host, judges, dates, etc. are all up in the air.  But might I suggest Rosie O’Donnell, Sam Harris and Britney Spears as judges?

In some welcomed political news, Ron DeSantis just lost a key ruling.  You’ll recall he tried to make it illegal for children to see drag queens.  Orlando’s Hamburger Mary’s took the state to court.  And the US Court of Appeals for the 11^th Circuit voted 2-1 in favor of the Marys – claiming that the legislation violated the First Amendment.
