7 hours agoThe Biggest RPG Phenomenon Of The 2020s Is Coming To TV
Dungeon Crawler Carl is being adapted into a TV series, marking a significant moment for the LitRPG genre and its mainstream acceptance.
"After three amazing seasons of Tell Me Lies, tonight's episode will be the series finale," she wrote. "This was always the ending my writing team and I had in mind, and we are insanely proud of it." Because fans' response to the season was so "incredible," she added, they considered whether they could find "another organic way to continue the story." However, when all was said and done, they decided they'd reached their story's "natural conclusion."
In 2022, Jennette McCurdy released her memoir I'm Glad My Mom Died, a brutally honest portrait of her life as a former child star, her battle with eating disorders, and, as the title would suggest, her rather complicated relationship with her mother.
In 1974, Tobe Hooper made The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, a ruthless movie about Leatherface laying waste to an unlucky friend group. It has had a lasting legacy ever since - its production was even dramatized recently in the Ryan Murphy Netflix series Monster: The Ed Gein Story. (The real-life murderer reportedly inspired Leatherface.) In September 2025, the future of the horror franchise went up for sale as multiple companies bid to acquire the rights to the story.
You may know the story by now: Rachel Reid began posting what would become Heated Rivalryon the fan-fiction site Archive of Our Own, one chapter at a time. Eventually, the Halifax-based author reportedly removed the posts, reworked the book, submitted it to publishers, and sold it in 2019 to Carina Press, a digital-first imprint at Harlequin. While the first book in her "Game Changers" series found a solid fan base among romance readers, no one expected just how many more would join them.
Heated Rivalry author Rachel Reid says the raunchy TV adaptation of her hit book series success has helped her fight with Parkinson's disease. The 45-year-old novelist cited the steamy hockey romance's popularity in helping her access better care more than two years following her diagnosis. Parkinson's disease, which can be inherited, is a neurological condition caused by a reduction of dopamine in the brain, leading to a plethora of physical and psychological problems such as memory loss, violent tremors, and motor-function issues. Reid opened up about her struggle with Parkinson's while speaking to Today earlier this month, revealing that she had been diagnosed in August 2023.
Starring Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams as Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, two rival ice hockey players who have a passionate years-long secret fling, the show is based on Rachel Reid's Game Changers novels. The show takes its name from the second of Reid's books, which focuses on Rozanov and Hollander as they start their steamy affair. Their story is continued in The Long Game, the last of Reid's six-book series.
And so, my friends, to the new six-part drama Amadeus, about the life, death and music of Wolfgang A Mozart, one of the defining geniuses of the last 1,000 years of western history. Co-creators Joe Barton and Julian Farino have retained parts of Peter Shaffer's 1979 play and the 1984 film starring Tom Hulce as Mozart and F Murray Abraham as his rival composer Antonio Salieri, reworked them into lesser forms, and surrounded them with lesser flat, airless, banal scenes.
"It's progressing really well," Howard told Game Informer. "The majority of the studio's on [Elder Scrolls 6]. but I'll say this: We always overlap. So, we're very used to overlapping development. And we have long pre-productions on things so that we feel good about them. And it's a process. We all wish it went a little bit faster--or a lot faster--but it's a process that we want to get right."
DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran will executive produce, with Pete Jackson (not the Lord of the Rings filmmaker) directing. V for Vendetta started as a graphic novel written by Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd. Set in a dystopian UK ruled by fascists, it was adapted into a 2005 Warner Bros. film directed by James McTeigue. The movie starred Hugo Weaving as anarchist revolutionary V and Natalie Portman as Evey Hammond.
