WiC Weekly: June 5-11
By WiC Staff
This week on WiC, we explore the hidden secrets of the Jedi temple, introduce you to the women of House of the Dragon, and try and catch all the Netflix news without losing our place.
Time to recap every single thing that happened over the past seven days in the worlds of sci-fi, fantasy, movies and TV. Or at least to recap 10 things that happened:
First up, we take a survey of some of the live-action anime series that might be coming in our future:
Demon Slayer is amongst the many anime that should receive live-action series, while My Hero Academia is one that no one should ever touch. https://t.co/7PzZn4JNkj

While interacting with his fans on Twitter, Jeffrey Dean Morgan shared his excitement for his Walking Dead spinoff Isle of the Dead.

Karl Urban is a fairly big name now. We take you back to when he was just a medium-sized name:
The Boys star Karl Urban recounts how he was cast in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy, a role that changed the course of his career. https://t.co/b2I4NXVKAe

The Wire creator Ed Burns has a new cop drama set in Baltimore airing on HBO, but doesn’t think HBO would greenlight a show like The Wire today.
The irony runs deep on this one: https://t.co/CURDwi5fZd

Is it fair to compare Amazon’s upcoming Lord of the Rings series to HBO’s House of the Dragon? Probably not, but just try and stop us:
The Rings of Power won't be compared just to Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies, but also to fantasy heavyweights like Game of Thrones. https://t.co/5MZNcNxAM2
