The novel’s logline: Having a mom like Izzy meant Mia had to grow up fast. No extracurriculars, no inviting friends over, and definitely no dating. The most important rule: Tell no one of Izzy’s hunger – the kind only blood can satisfy. But Mia is in her twenties now and longs for a life of her own. One where she doesn’t have to worry about anyone discovering their terrible secret, or breathing down her neck. When Mia meets rebellious musician Jade she dares to hope she’s found a way to leave her home – and her mom – behind. It just might be Mia’s only chance of getting out alive.
Schaeffer walked the project in by way of her overall deal with Marvel and 20th that sees her work on projects across the Disney-owned brands. She’s currently running the room for the Disney+/Marvel WandaVision series spinoff, Agatha: House of Harkness, as well as producing several other projects for 20th.

Fans of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan won’t have to wait long for the series’ final chapter. The fourth and final season of the popular Prime Video series starring John Krasinski will premiere June 30, just over six months after the Dec. 21 release of Season 3. That is by far the shortest gap between seasons, compared to 1 year and 2 months (between Seasons 1 and 2) and 3 years and 2 months (between Seasons 2 and 3).
said back in December that Season 3 and Season 4 were shot back-to-back so fans “wouldn’t have to wait.”This fourth season will find Jack Ryan (Kransinski) in a brand new role — CIA Acting Deputy Director — and per the official logline, he’s “facing an enemy both foreign and domestic… As Jack and the team investigate how deep the corruption runs, he discovers a far-worse reality — the convergence of a drug cartel with a terrorist organization — ultimately revealing a conspiracy much closer to home and testing our hero’s belief in the system he has always fought to protect.”Sounds like we might be getting a “Clear and Present Danger” reimagining, similar to how Season 3 sort of mashed up “The Sum of All Fears” and “The Hunt for Red October.”Alongside Krasinski in the title role, “Jack Ryan” stars Wendell Pierce as James Greer, Michael Kelly as Mike November and Betty Gabriel as CIA Acting Director Elizabeth Wright, with Abbie Cornish returning as Cathy Mueller. New to the show for the final season are Michael Peña as Domingo Chavez and Louis Ozawa as Chao Fah.“Jack Ryan” is co-produced by Amazon Studios, Paramount Television Studios and Skydance Television.

coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip's memory were felt throughout, with several nods made to both late royals. When it came to Elizabeth, who died in September, there were several nods made by her son and his second wife, largely in the outfits they wore during Saturday's ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London, England. When it came to the king, his Stole Royal was inspired by one worn by his mother during her coronation in 1953 and featured a series of roundels that included the four emblems of the United Kingdom. Camilla's outfit featured several more notable nods to Elizabeth, with the new queen wearing her late mother-in-law's historic «coronation necklace.» First commissioned by Queen Victoria in 1853, it was also worn by Elizabeth during her crowning ceremony in 1953. Additionally, Camilla's «Robe of State,» which was worn upon her arrival at Westminster Abbey, was originally made for Elizabeth in 1953. Her «Robe of Estate,» meanwhile, was embroidered with 24 plants, including the Lily of the Valley, which was the late queen's favorite flower. During the ceremony, Camilla was crowned with Queen Mary's Crown, which was made for the 1911 coronation of Queen Mary, the consort of King George V.

I think he was ready. I think he was excited.”
