Following his breakout success in theaters, director Kane Parsons has returned to YouTube with a new Backrooms short called Everything Must Go. It’s basically like a visit to the surreal set from the film, and the short is also included in both the theatrical re-release and the impending Blu-ray version.

The sci-fi series was a pleasant surprise when it premiered on Apple TV last year, and for season 2 the show is getting a whole bunch of new cast members, adding the likes of Steve Buscemi and Severance star Tramell Tillman. No word yet on when it’ll start streaming.

I already knew that the film — the latest from Laika, the stop-motion studio behind the likes of Kubo and the Two Strings and Paranorman — looked great. But the latest trailer has me convinced that Wildwood is also going to wreck me. We’ll find out when it hits theaters in October.

Few brand deals make more sense than the new Mean Girls and Clueless DLC coming to The Sims 4. The collection drops on August 27th and features a bunch of new fashion options, though sadly I don’t think Cher’s high-tech closet is included.

HBO just confirmed that It: Welcome to Derry is returning. Season 2 “takes place in 1935 during the Great Depression and centers on the bloody massacre of the Bradley Gang, a group of bank robbers who stop in Derry to buy ammo and end up facing unimaginable horror.” No word on when it will premiere.

Season 4 just started streaming, but Apple’s Eddy Cue is already talking about a potential season 5 renewal. “It’s certainly good enough for that,” he told Deadline. “So I think there’s plenty of stories to go on.” Of course, it’s no surprise that Apple would want to extend a hit show for as long as it can.

The surreal sci-fi show will be airing on Toonami on September 5th, a few years after a detour on Netflix. Sadly, there’s still no word on if a second season is ever happening.
