Marvel TV series ‘Zodiac’ sets 2028 Disney+ release


The Marvel TV universe is expanding.

A new live-action series called Zodiac is set to debut on Disney+ in 2028. Brad Winderbaum, the head of Marvel Television, Animation, Comics & Franchise, made the announcement at Marvel Television and Marvel Animation’s New York Comic Con panel on Thursday.

“It’s a spy thriller,” Winderbaum said. “And for anyone who knows the comics, if you look closely at this title design, you’ll see a few clues about where we’re going.”

Zodiac is set to start shooting in London in spring 2027.

“I can’t tell you anything else about it yet because it’s a secret,” Winderbaum said during the panel. “We’re going to start casting it in a couple weeks.”

This new series marks the first live-action Marvel show announced since 2025’s Ironheart. The series Wonder Man premiered in January but was eventually canceled despite originally scoring a second season renewal and an Emmy nomination for its star, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.

As for upcoming Marvel series, VisionQuest is set to premiere on Disney+ Oct. 14. It marks the end to the trilogy of shows that also includes WandaVision and Agatha All Along. Daredevil: Born Again, meanwhile, will return for its third and final season in 2027.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News, Disney+ and Marvel Television.

Keegan Allen says he was robbed at gunpoint, knifepoint in LA: ‘My life for a watch’

Keegan Allen says he was robbed at gunpoint, knifepoint in LA: ‘My life for a watch’


Keegan Allen said he was robbed at gunpoint and knifepoint in West Hollywood, California, in a video posted to social media after the incident.

The Pretty Little Liars actor appeared bloodied and out of breath in the video, which was posted Thursday night local time, as he explained what allegedly transpired.

“I was just robbed of my watch,” Allen said, explaining the incident took place outside a grocery store.

He continued, “These two dudes hit me in the head, pointed a gun at me with a knife, and then took off.”

Allen’s post also included what appears to be surveillance video showing the incident.

In the video, part of Allen’s face is bloodied, from his forehead down his face and neck, with blood appearing on his hand as well.

“West Hollywood is not safe anymore. Robbed at gunpoint and knifepoint by two young men that threatened to KILL me over my watch and would have! God said no tonight. My life for a watch,” wrote Allen in his social media post.

In a statement to ABC News, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said around 9:05 p.m. deputies responded to a West Hollywood location “regarding robbery call for service.”

The statement said deputies made contact with a male adult who “stated he was approached by two male adults dressed in black clothing.”

“One suspect pointed a silver handgun at the victim while the other pointed a knife and demanded the victim’s watch and bracelet. Shortly after, the victim was struck in the face with the handgun,” according to the sheriff’s department.

The statement said the “suspects obtained the victim’s watch and fled the scene in an unknown vehicle.”

The statement confirmed the victim “sustained a laceration to his forehead” and was evaluated by Los Angeles County Fire but was not taken to the hospital.

The sheriff’s department urged the public to contact West Hollywood Station Detectives with further information.

ABC News has reached out to representatives for Allen for more information.

Hayden Panettiere’s ex-fiance granted temporary guardianship of estate

Hayden Panettiere’s ex-fiance granted temporary guardianship of estate


A Los Angeles judge has granted Hayden Panettiere’s former fiance Wladimir Klitschko temporary guardianship of the estate inherited by their 11-year-old daughter after the actress’s sudden death in August.

Klitschko had raised concerns about the preservation of Panettiere’s estate and had argued to the court that he needed control, claiming others outside of the late actress’s family had allegedly been trying to profit off her death.

Panettiere and Klitschko’s 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, is the sole heir to the TV star’s multimillion-dollar fortune. Panettiere had relinquished custody of Kaya to Klitschko in 2018.

Klitschko and Kaya appeared virtually before court on Thursday and only spoke during the hearing to introduce themselves.

The judge also authorized Klitschko to sign and pay Panettiere’s state and federal income tax returns, which are due in about a week. Permanent guardianship of the estate is set to be decided in December.

The development comes after Klitschko, a former boxer, filed a supplement this week to his September guardianship petition, claiming a non-family member had sold some of Panettiere’s possessions, including jewelry, to a pawn shop. Attorneys for Klitschko requested for him to have the power “to request and authorize law enforcement investigation into the recovery of Hayden’s property believed to have been misappropriated.”

Panettiere died on Aug. 16 from an accidental overdose of drugs, including fentanyl, 4-ANPP, alprazolam, methocarbamol and quetiapine, the Greenville County Coroner’s Office determined.

Both local and federal investigators are investigating the source and supplier of the illicit drugs.

‘Crazy Rich Asians’ drama series greenlit at HBO starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding and more

‘Crazy Rich Asians’ drama series greenlit at HBO starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding and more


Bok bok! Crazy Rich Asians is so back.

Eight years after the blockbuster film was released, HBO announced Thursday that it has greenlit a one-hour original drama series based on the bestselling books by Kevin Kwan.

HBO also announced that the original cast members Constance Wu, Henry Golding and Ronny Chieng will reunite for the series, with Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh recurring.

“It’s a CRAZY RICH family reunion!” showrunner and executive producer Adele Lim said in a statement shared by HBO.

Lim, who was a co-writer of the 2018 film, added, “This series is the sequel we’ve been waiting for, but instead of just one movie, we get eight episodes to delve into the characters and worlds of Kevin Kwan’s brilliant books.”

She teased, “Our writers room is humming and we can’t wait to share what we’ve come up with.”

The film follows a Chinese-American economics professor, Rachel Chu, who travels to Singapore with her longtime boyfriend, Nick Young, for his best friend’s wedding. While there, she discovers that Nick belongs to one of Singapore’s most elite and wealthy real estate families.

As she’s thrown into their world of opulence, she faces scrutiny from other jealous socialites, including Nick’s mother, Eleanor.

The film made $239 million worldwide at the box office, according to The Numbers, and since then has become a fan-favorite film for many. It also marked a milestone for representation in Hollywood.

Additionally, many online over the years have shared how the film is their favorite airplane movie.

Also returning to the project is director Jon M. Chu, who will co-executive produce the series with Lim, Kwan, Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson.

“Eight years ago, ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ changed my life, and I got to make it with the most creative and hilarious group of people I’ve ever known,” Chu said in a statement shared by HBO. “It’s been incredible watching audiences make this movie part of their lives, from mahjong nights to becoming the ultimate airplane movie, and I can’t wait to share what comes next.”

He added, “Finally, I get to answer the question I’ve been asked almost every day for eight years: ‘When are we getting the sequel?’ well… bok bok b—-, we’re back.”

A video shared by HBO announcing the news said that production for the new series will begin in 2027.
