From a movie enthusiast’s perspective, I’ve been following the recent developments regarding some sexual abuse allegations. These events have led to changes in several projects that I was eagerly anticipating. For instance, Prime Video transformed the complete third season of ‘Good Omens’ into a 9-hour movie finale, and Neil Gaiman stepped away from his creative role on the project. Disney has paused their feature adaptation of Gaiman’s ‘The Graveyard Book’ from 2008.

Unfortunately, ‘Deadboy Detectives’ was cancelled after its first season.
