2 Broke Girls Cancelled by CBS

After six seasons, CBS has cancelled the comedy series 2 Broke Girls.

Deadline reports that CBS and Warner Bros. TV, who produced 2 Broke Girls, couldn't come to an agreement over the financials of the aging series. With negotiations down to the wire, there was talk of potentially shortening Season 7 down to 13-18 episodes, but ultimately a deal couldn't be made.

Though 2 Broke Girls started off notably strong in its first 2011-2012 season, its viewership did decline, but it was still a decent performer for CBS - and the network's youngest-skewing comedy.

9 Things We Want In The Hellboy Reboot

There will never be a Hellboy 3 with director Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman, but Hellboy’s cinematic adventures are far from over. Earlier this week, it was revealed that character creator Mike Mignola and director Neil Marshall are planning an R-rated Hellboy reboot film with Stranger Things' David Harbour taking over the role of the title character.

As much as we loved del Toro’s vision and Perlman’s take on Hellboy, the first two movies left behind a lot of untapped potential. Mignola’s Hellboy universe is filled with fascinating characters and storylines that were barely even alluded to in the original movies. By starting over, there’s a real possibility that fans may finally get a chance to see more of Mignola’s creations on the big screen.

Opinion: The Guardians of the Galaxy Need to Get Bigger

Now that characters like Thanos and Rocket Raccoon have become household names, Marvel's cosmic-focused comics are more important than ever. The company clearly recognizes that fact. They've placed a lot of muscle behind the Guardians of the Galaxy comics in recent years, ensuring that the team always has at least one ongoing series to its name and plenty of spinoffs and solo series. Just this month alone we're seeing the debut of the twice-monthly All-New Guardians of the Galaxy, the mini-series Guardians of the Galaxy: Mother Entropy, new solo comics for both Rocket Raccoon and Groot and even a comic book adaptation of the new "Mission: Breakout!" ride at Disney World.

At this point, I don't think anyone could argue that Marvel isn't giving this team the attention or creative muscle they deserve. But there is one glaring flaw with Marvel's handling of the franchise lately. No matter where you look - be it comics, movies, animation or video games - Guardians of the Galaxy stories almost always revolve around the same five characters. And as a result, the franchise is beginning to feel a little stale.

Halo 6 Won’t Be at E3 2017

Halo developer 343 Industries has confirmed the next mainline entry in Microsoft's sci-fi shooter series won't be at E3 2017.

In a post on reddit, 343 community manager Brian Jarrard (aka sk7ch343) tempered fans' expectations for this year's expo, saying that while the studio will have something at E3, it won't be tied to Halo 6.

"I'll slip into my Dreamcrusher persona for a minute in the name of realistic expectations: We've said this already but we'll have a little something at E3 but it's not related to the next major entry in the franchise," Jarrard said.
