Cunningham and executive producer Victor Miller‘s franchise in recent years. Currently named “Jason Universe,” the franchise got a taste of Sweet Revenge in August of last year. The 13-minute short

The first three episodes introduce us to this now destroyed and unbalanced world. In it we see a new mythology, an introduction to new characters, and

This show has the opportunity to explore a character who has always existed close to Reacher while remaining quite different from him. Frances Neagley (Maria Sten) was initially introduced as a supporting character in the Alan Ritchson-led Reacher series, but she never really felt like one. Instead, the show made her

I mean, the spinoff of two short films presented in the first and third seasons of Star Wars’ anime compendium Visions seems like one hell of a stretch to do an entire eight-episode series over. That said, The Ninth
