Entertainment News #42: Hallmark, Interview with the Vampire and Percy Jackson


Here are a few evening news bits:

- The Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel will get a new name. It will be changed simply to Hallmark Mystery. The new change will debut Friday, March 6th. The popular mystery movie The Cases of Mystery Lane starring Aimee Garcia and Paul Campbell will be getting a sequel titled Death is Listening. I really enjoyed the first movie and I can't wait to see this upcoming sequel.

- The second season of an Interview with the Vampire will premiere on Sunday, May 12 on AMC. This show has been on my watch list, maybe I'll start watching it this weekend. I also want to read the book of the same name that was written by the now late Anne Rice.



- Disney Plus has renewed Percy Jackson and the Olympians for a second season. That's good because although I'm enjoying the show (I still have to watch the last two episodes), the show had pacing issues. Some scenes were moving a just a little too slow which is something that could be easily fixed in the next season. And also maybe have Percy have little more energy and personality, he appears rather dull and boring at times. Regardless, I'm happy the show was renewed.

Teaser Trailer: Percy Jackson and The Olympians TV Series

I'm not sure what to think of this teaser trailer for the upcoming Percy Jackson and The Olympians TV series. It looks good while also feeling a bit generic. And the actors for Percy and his mother, Grover and Annabeth just seem so bland and boring. I'm sure they're talented or they wouldn't have been cast. I just wish they stood out a bit more.

Anyway, I love the Percy Jackson book series by Rick Riordan and despite not being a fan favorite, I also really enjoyed watching the movies. They weren't perfect but they were fun to watch. Which is what I hope the show will be as well. A good story that's fun and interesting to watch.

Percy Jackson and The Olympians will premiere with two episodes on Wednesday, December 20th on Disney Plus.
