You’re the Worst Creator on What to Expect in Season 3
Full spoilers for You're the Worst's Season 2 finale continue below.
Sunday Funday, better than a Monday... unless the day's a Wednesday, and the You're the Worst finale just aired. "The Heart is a Dumb Dumb" returned to Becca and Vernon's house, the setting of the Season 1 finale, to find out who came out of Season 2 on an up note and who ended up in a pretty bad (or sad) place.
Gretchen (Aya Cash) and Jimmy (Chris Geere) finally took the next step in their relationship: more than admitting they love one another (finally!), Gretchen also was willing to do something big for her boyfriend in seeking professional help for her clinical depression. Edgar (Desmin Borges) also had a happy ending to his finale, as he and Dorothy (Collette Wolfe) easily overcame the first big fight in their relationship.
The Dark Tower Film May Have Finally Found Its Star
Idris Elba is reportedly in talks to star in the film adaptation of The Dark Tower.
Deadline reports that Elba is the frontrunner to play Roland Deschain, the gunslinger who would likely square off against Matthew McConaughey as the villainous Man In Black.
Numerous attempts have been made to adapt The Dark Tower, which author Stephen King himself describes as his magnum opus, for nearly a decade. The series features a world of science fiction and magic, and ties together most of King's major novels into a shared multi-verse.
Sony Pictures has confirmed neither Elba, nor McConaughey, though it does sound like the adaptation will finally get off the ground. The first of a planned series of films is scheduled for January 27, 2017 under director Nikolaj Arcel. A companion TV series is also in the works.

Wayward Pines Renewed for Season 2
M. Night Shyamalan's Wayward Pines has been renewed for a second season, FOX announced today. This comes almost five months after the season 1 finale aired in July, an unusually long time for a TV renewal to be announced.
Ten new episodes of the psychological thriller will air in summer 2016. The show left the story open-ended enough to warrant a second season, which will pick up "when a new arrival in Wayward Pines finds himself in the middle of a serious rebellion, as the residents battle over how to preserve the endangered human race."
Based on the bestselling books by Blake Crouch, Wayward Pines follows a Secret Service agent, played by Matt Dillon, in search of of his two missing cohorts. He finds himself in Wayward Pines, a spooky little town with a lot of mystery.
