Rosario Dawson
Actress Rosario Dawson says her dream is to be involved in the two big sci-fi universes – “Star Trek” and “Star Wars,” saying “I get in those two, I’m telling you, man, that’s it. I will just retire.” In terms of ‘Trek’, Dawson says she would be happy to be a background Romulan or Vulcan, but adds her father gave her the idea of playing a member of the Q continuum which would allow her to jump between “Star Trek: Discovery,” “Star Trek: Picard” and more. She adds: “I just want to be with Jean-Luc Picard”. [Source: Variety]

Never Have I Ever
Netflix ha released the first trailer for “Never Have I Ever,” the new Mindy Kaling-created comedy series starring newcomer Maitreyi Ramakrishnan and launching April 27th. Ramakrishnan plays Devi, a first-generation Indian-American immigrant who’s trying to succeed in high school and have a normal American teenage experience.

Accompanied by her best friends, the raucously temperamented Ramona Young and type-A overachiever Lee Rodriguez, she has a mission: Get laid. The three have all kinds of plans, get into all kinds of shenanigans, and bump against their traditionally minded parents.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Netflix has announced a May 12th premiere date for “Kimmy vs The Reverend,” the upcoming interactive “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” special which will offer story choice threads much like “Black Mirror: Bandersnatch”.

In the episode, Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper) sets off on her biggest adventure yet. Three states! Explosions! A dancing hamburger! And you, the viewer, get to decide how the story goes. Jon Hamm stars as the villain The Reverend, whilst the likes of Daniel Radcliffe, Johnny Knoxville and a whole bunch of “30 Rock” alums guest star.
