This week, I'm joined by <a href=\"https://entertainmenttalk.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Matt from Entertainment Talk</a> to discuss all the latest UK TV news, films, and UK TV air dates, plus gaming, and the SAG-AFTRA Actor's Strike.</p><p><br></p><p>This week, Matt discusses completing Season 1 of the excellent <strong>'</strong><a href=\"https://www.geektown.co.uk/tvairdates/poker-face/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Poker Face</strong></a><strong>'</strong>, starring Natasha Lyonne, which can be found on Sky in the UK. He also has been working his way through both <strong>'</strong><a href=\"https://www.geektown.co.uk/tvairdates/9-1-1/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>9-1-1</strong></a><strong>'</strong> and the spin-off, <strong>'</strong><a href=\"https://www.geektown.co.uk/tvairdates/9-1-1-lone-star/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>9-1-1: Lone Star</strong></a><strong>'</strong>, bother of which are on Disney+ UK, and <strong>'</strong><a href=\"https://www.geektown.co.uk/tvairdates/the-handmaids-tale/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Handmaid's Tale</strong></a><strong>'</strong>, which is on Prime Video. Meanwhile, I chat about the return of <strong>'</strong><a href=\"https://www.geektown.co.uk/tvairdates/the-witcher/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Witcher</strong></a><strong>'</strong> for Season 3 on Netflix, the brand-new '<a href=\"https://www.geektown.co.uk/tvairdates/quantum-leap/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Quantum Leap</strong></a><strong>'</strong> which is airing on Paramount+, and <strong>'</strong><a href=\"https://www.geektown.co.uk/tvairdates/foundation/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Foundation</strong></a><strong>'</strong> which returned to Apple TV+ for Season 2. We also chat a little about the ongoing troubles in Hollywood, with the SAG-AFTRA actors joining the WGA writers on strike.</p><p><br></p><p>In the news section, we run through all the renewals, cancellations and pick-ups, which includes all the series which were picked up and dropped whilst we were away. We then run through some of the announcements from the (somewhat downsized) San Diego Comic-Con, and casting for James Gunn's <em>'Superman Legacy'</em>.</p>","author_name":"David Elliott"}
