TOMB RAIDER from Phoebe Waller-Bridge Lands Series Order at Amazon

As long as she's just the writer, okay. But she better not be the lead. She's
no Lara Croft, who was modeled after Rhona Mitra in her prime, not someone's
middle-aged aunt.

LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER Season 2 to Debut in August;
Sauron Unleashed In Gritty Teaser Trailer

Sauron is a blonde Euro-trash model? Never the way I picture him.

MR. & MRS. SMITH Renewed for Season 2 at Prime Video

JEOPARDY! Spinoff Set at Amazon Prime Video

"POP CULTURE JEOPARDY! will focus on categories from alternative rock to The
Avengers, from Broadway to MMA and Gen Z to Zendaya."

So basically it's JEOPARDY! for stupid people who only know about celebrities
and none of that other boring stuff like history and geography and
literature.
