Young Sherlock, Outlander Season 8, Life Is Strange casting, and a very suspicious set of Firefly reunions lead the news in Geektown Radio Episode 488.
Dave and this week’s co-host run through what they’ve been watching recently, including horror chatter, social media film discoveries, and a chronological deep dive into The Last of Us Part II.

Casting and development news includes:
Treasure Island
Paramount+ and MGM+ are developing a new TV adaptation starring David Oyelowo as Long John Silver and Hayley Atwell as Bess Hawkins.
Life Is Strange
Prime Video’s adaptation of the hit Square Enix game has cast Maisy Stella as Chloe and Tatum Grace Hopkins as Max.
Lovejoy
See-Saw Films is developing a new TV adaptation of the classic antiques detective novels.
And finally… the Firefly mystery.
Nathan Fillion has been posting videos reuniting with original cast members including Gina Torres, Morena Baccarin, Sean Maher, Summer Glau, Jewel Staite and Adam Baldwin, teasing that “something is happening.”
It’s not a convention, podcast, or crossover appearance… so the speculation is officially running wild.
