Hmm, the dude behind "Shang-Chi" will be directing this, which likely means that this is coming past 2021 or this is going to film very soon.Another Warner Media streaming service original:

Lucifer I heard has been performing super well for Netflix, topping charts for four weeks in a row. Why is Netflix so eager to end all of their shows lately?

Possibly. Lots of criticism of various bits of his writing and reporting. He weaved a compelling yarn in that book but he's been accused of fabricating a lot, and making wild allegations about people that went nowhere when investigated.
The title still kind of works since "Lucifer" is developed by WB anyway.Isn't Jake Adelstein kinda a fraud?

(though, maybe I should update it with something for Lucifer, then again 🤔)
Morena Baccarin ("Homeland," "Deadpool") is set to star in "Home Invasion," a science-fiction comedy series produced by NENT Group's Brain Academy ("Conspiracy of Silence").
The six-part English language series will also star Johan Glans ("Swedish Dicks") and John Noble ("Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King"). "Home Invasion" will premiere across the Nordics in 2020 exclusively on NENT Group's
ambitious streaming service, "Viaplay."
They're still weird.Don Bitters ("House of Cards") will direct and create the visual effects for "Home Invasion." It's executive produced by Melanie DiPietro at Brain Academy.
"Home Invasion" will center on a normal family made up of aliens sent to invade Earth. The series tells the story of two burglars who breaks into a house who find themselves face to face with an absurd close encounter.

Maybe the cast and crew contractually get huge salary bumps after S5?
Also, they may just have some internal metrics that indicate audiences won't stay with a show after a certain number of seasons. S1-5 as a complete package with a proper ending might be the value sweet spot they were looking for. Plus, by virtue of being a network show, also has a higher episode count than a comparable "Netflix Original" after 5 seasons.
It could be awful, but look at something like The Leftovers, which could definitely be described as Misery porn, for at least the first season.
Finally we're getting some (potential) details. And it also seems like the reason why the initial announcement about tiers and the like was confusing was that they actually hadn't worked it out yet.
edit: they added some more potential details in that Variety article:

You'd think a show about guys trying to find artifacts in a field would be boring, but as an excuse to get some of these characters together, it just works. lolVery.
It's low-key (... ok; very low-key) one of the best shows that has come out of the UK over the last five years. The premise is good, but it's the execution that is just brilliant. It's just this very down to earth (sorrynosorry), contemplative comedy that feels like a breath of fresh air in just how low the stakes are. And it has Toby Jones, that's always a big plus.
HOLY FUCK.The Palme d'Or winning director "Dheepan" will direct some episodes of the fifth and final season of "The Bureau," along with the series creator Eric Rochant, Jérôme Salle, Thomas Bidegain, Anna Novion, Samuel Collardey and Mathieu Kassovitz, who is also the star of "The Bureau."
AMC Networks has acquired the rights to Mona Awad's (13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl) anticipated forthcoming novel Bunny to develop as a television series.
The best serialised show is ending. They brought out the big guns from behind The Bureau for it.Playwright Megan Mostyn-Brown is attached to write the pilot as part of her overall deal with AMC. Bunny will be released June 11 by Viking, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
The novel tells the story of Samantha Heather Mackey, who couldn't be more of an outsider in her small, highly selective MFA program at New England's Warren University. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, Samantha is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort—a clique of unbearably twee yet menacing rich girls who call each other "Bunny." When Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies' fabled "Smut Salon," everything suddenly changes and she finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door—ditching her only friend, Ava, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the sinister yet saccharine world of the Bunny cult and starts to take part in their ritualistic off-campus "Workshop," the edges of reality begin to blur, and her friendships with Ava and the Bunnies are brought into deadly collision.
Fantastic. Have they announced if
HOLY FUCK.
Kassovitz (finally) going behind the camera is incredibly nice, but getting a surprise Audiard? I'm not sure I can put into words how psyched that makes me.
There's going out with a bang and then there's this.
If you're not watching this, you're missing out.
From the announcement:Fantastic. Have they announced ifMalotru is alive or dead for sure? I took it as dead, but it could be whatever they want really.
I only used to watch that show for Hunter King, is she still in it?
Yes, she is still there.I only used to watch that show for Hunter King, is she still in it?
I think this is news?A U.S. remake of "The Bureau" titled "The Department" is currently in development, with Peter Landesman ("Mark Felt") attached to write and direct.
The OG is French right? Is there a streaming platform that carries it in the US? I've been wanting to check it outOkay, so somehow I missed this. But when I fixed the article link so it linked directly to the Variety article:
I think this is news?
Oh well, can't wait for it to disappoint!
It is indeed.The OG is French right? Is there a streaming platform that carries it in the US? I've been wanting to check it out
Such a good show. Treated so horrible.

Yeah, the premise could work for say the CIA, but I'm sceptical that it will be handled as elegantly as the original. Speaking of remakes and France though, have we talked about the really weird French Fleabag remake?
I liked what I watched of it, but man it got like zero traction in the media compared to the other Daily Show alumni (Last Week Tonight, Full Frontal) showsDammit! This was one of the best things on HBO. It couldn't have cost much to produce and there are all sorts of topics they could have covered in future seasons, so I just assumed it would be around for a few more years. Especially since HBO is supposed to be increasing production on originals. Bleh.
A week ago, Lee Daniels admitted a revival of Star "ain't happening," but today the co-creator of the now canceled music drama offered hope to fans pounding Fox for pink slipping the series.
"We will have something with some closure," Daniels announced on social media Friday afternoon for the Jude Demorest, Ryan Destiny, and Brittany O'Grady-led series that got axed after three seasons in early May.
"You ain't seen the last of Star, the hype savvy Oscar nominee added from what looked to be the busy set of the pilot of his Good People comedy. "We will have something that will make you happy."
The Lost Symbol was fucking terrible. The book literally ends with like two chapters of info dump where someone explains to everything that happened to Langdon because he had no clue about anything.
Speaking of remakes and France though, have we talked about the really weird French Fleabag remake?
Because we need to talk about the really weird French Fleabag remake.
(it's apparently not a straight up trainwreck at least)

That's what he says now but he said many times in the past he wanted 6.How was that the takeaway? Sounds like 4 seasons is exactly what he wanted.
This interview makes it pretty abundantly clear it is entirely a creative decision.That's what he says now but he said many times in the past he wanted 6.
The upcoming fourth season of "The Good Place" will be the final one, according to creator Michael Schur:
I know right? It's a weird show to adapt, but hey France kinda needs a show like Fleabag and if that means redoing it all in French then go right ahead.
Very.
