Amazon Prime Video’s original Australian comedy-drama series “Deadloch” has been renewed for a second season which will film later this year.

Terminator Zero
Mattson Tomlin, showrunner of the upcoming eight-episode animated series “Terminator Zero,” says the show is most akin to Cameron’s original film as opposed to his first sequel. The film boasts a “serial killer” vibe and will emphasise the horror of the premise. [Source: CNet]

Irish actor Damien Molony (“Being Human,” “Crashing”) will take on the role of Jim Bergerac, originally played by John Nettles, in the upcoming remake “Bergerac”. Zoë Wanamaker and Philip Glenister co-star in the series penned by Toby Whithouse, Brian Fillis, Catherine Tregenna and Polly Buckle.

Molony’s Jim Bergerac is a broken man, grappling with grief and alcoholism following his wife’s recent death. When a woman from a wealthy Jersey family is murdered, Jim must fight through his personal struggles to become the formidable investigator he once was. [Source: Radio Times]

Unstable
Netflix has shared the trailer for the second season of the father-son comedy “Unstable” starring Rob Lowe and real-life son John Owen Lowe. Aaron Branch, Emma Ferreira, Rachel Marsh and Sian Clifford also star in the show which returns August 1st.

In the new season, biotech genius character Ellis Dragon (Rob Lowe) lays out a series of challenges and mind games for son Jackson (John Owen Lowe) to see if he has what it takes to succeed him as the heir to the Dragon empire, but does a newcomer have other ideas?
