The $99 Google TV Streamer is the official Chromecast successor I've been waiting for
Briefly

The Google TV Streamer doesn't necessarily reinvent the wheel but adds the Google TV platform, making dumb TVs smarter, similar to Apple TV 4K. It includes new smart device controls and Thread support for a broader range of functionality.
The device has a smart home hub-like design with rounded edges, available in two colors. The remote control is redesigned for better ergonomics, including a unique 'Find my remote' feature and volume controls on the front.
