How Does Netflix Decide What to Cancel and What to Renew? It’s Complicated.
Netflix has come to the rescue of many shows since it got into the streaming business - including, most recently, Fox's Lucifer and the long-gestating adaptation of Locke and Key - but how does the company decide which shows are worthy of staying on its roster? After years of being perceived as a network that was slow to cancel shows even if they weren't generating much buzz (really, we needed two seasons of Flaked?), Netflix has been more willing to swing the axe over the past couple of years, with the cancellations of Sense8, The Get Down, and Everything Sucks sparking outrage - and passionate revival campaigns - amongst loyal fans.
Sandlot Prequel in Development
The American classic The Sandlot is reportedly getting a prequel film, and it's deep in development.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, it looks like fans of The Sandlot, which turns 25 this year, have something big coming their way. The film is reportedly in advanced development at 20th Century Fox, and will be written by original director and writer David Mickey Evans alongside new writer Austin Reynolds.
There is no word on the plot for the potential prequel, so it's unclear if this will feature famous characters from the original like Smalls, Yeah-Yeah and Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez, or if it will be an entirely new group of kids. Considering Smalls had just moved to the San Fernando Valley at the beginning of the original, it's possible he won't be involved in this prequel.

Dead or Alive 6: ‘Diego’ Revealed, ‘Rig’ Returns
IGN can exclusively reveal two new fighters for DEAD OR ALIVE 6, the forthcoming fighting game from Koei Tecmo’s Team Ninja. Brand-new fighter Diego and returning DOA5 antagonist Rig can be seen in a new announcement trailer.
A street-fighting brawler who grew up in the back alleys of New York, newcomer Diego brings a range of hard-hitting moves including headbutts and tackles when he makes his DOA debut. Diego started entering street matches to win money to support his ailing mother, and quickly became known as New York’s “uncrowned street hero.” With a talent for fighting in confined quarters, his anything-goes full-body-contact move-set is visceral and raw. See his reveal trailer above.

According to IndieWire, Grace created this edit after filming his role as the infamous white supremacist David Duke in Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman. The role had taken such a mental toll on him, he used the editing process to undo the psychological stress it gave him, bringing him out of a depression.
