spinoff

The spinoff series “Angel” aired from 1999 to 2004 on the WB, but other prospective “Buffy” revivals reportedly struggled to make it past development.

Nor is DeepSeek a shoestring operation: It’s a spinoff from the Chinese hedge fund High-Flyer, whose investment in the project is unknown.

Despite pledges by executive producers to correct past wrongs, troubling misfires in the handling of race in recent seasons of “The Bachelor” and spinoff “The Bachelorette” have cast doubt over those promises to improve, placing added significance on Ellis’ turn in the spotlight.

While the participants on “The Bachelor” and spinoff “The Bachelorette” have become more diverse after years of featuring predominantly white casts, the franchise has not turned the corner on its troubled past.

Originally conceived as a spinoff series from “Star Trek: Discovery” to star Michelle Yeoh as Philippa Georgiou, an agent of Starfleet’s secret black ops arm, the project was downgraded or promoted to a “feature,” officially the 14th in the “Star Trek” canon, and the franchise’s first “TV movie.”
