“When we first pitched the show to Apple, we talked about it as a seven-year arc,” reveals “For All Mankind” co-creator Ronald D. Moore in his exclusive interview with Gold Derby (watch the video above). “I’m very optimistic at this point,” continues the veteran television screenwriter, who has an Emmy Award for his magnum opus “Battlestar Galactica.” He explains about his current space show for Apple, “I’m still hoping that we continue to do at least seven and the way the show is moving, you have the potential to go even bigger and longer with it.”
Apple TV+ released the second season this spring. Ending in 1995, the series’ narrative has spanned 26 years already. Moore does not dance around how far the story might progress and how they might maintain the existing main cast led by Joel Kinnaman, with prosthetics increasingly figuring into the makeup design. Moore smiles, “We...

Youngest of the Robinson clan, Will, forms a powerful bond with a robot from an unknown planet, resurrecting the iconic phrase "Danger, Will Robinson." 2.

The Robinson family is returning to television in Netflix’s reboot of “Lost in Space,” but this time the women play a bigger role as the family faces thorny relationships and a female adversary in their fight for survival.
The life-span of the Robinson family spans centuries, including the 1812 novel “The Swiss Family Robinson,” the 1960s black-and-white and color television series, and most recently the 1998 film starring Gary Oldman. At the Hollywood premiere for the Netflix version of the family drama, executive producer Zack Estrin, Matt Sazama, and Burk Sharpless said they were inspired by the first six black-and-white episodes in the ’60s for their retelling, but they wanted to update it to be more reflective of today.
“I think the gender roles in the first series are definitely a product of their time and aren’t really what we want to see on TV right now,” Sharpless said. He...

For years, viewers invited Chris Wiggins into their living rooms to hear his vast knowledge of all things occult on Friday the 13th: The Series, so it is with great sadness that we inform readers that the actor has passed away in Ontario at the age of 87 after a battle with Alzheimer's disease.
According to THR, the news of Wiggins' passing was recently shared in an obituary published in the Toronto Star. His family has requested that loved ones and fans donate to the Alzheimer Society in place of purchasing flowers for his memorial service in mid-March.
Wiggins is perhaps best remembered for his aforementioned role as Jack Marshak in Friday the 13th: The Series. As fans know, instead of Jason Voorhees, the series focused on cursed antiques that had to be tracked down, and Wiggins' character was absolutely vital in helping Micki Foster and Ryan Dallion on their quests,...
