• David Lynch stated that season 3 of Twin Peaks may still be “up in the air” despite some series regulars already signing on. We wait with bated breath.

• Meanwhile, The X-Files‘ limited season seems to be getting closer to a green light at Fox. Don’t expect any more than ten episodes, though, since David Duchovny claims everyone is “too old.” I think Gillian Anderson would beg to differ!

• Bridge of Spies will be the first of 27 Steven Spielberg films not to feature a John Williams score. This time the honor goes to Thomas Newman, though Williams will return for The BFG.

• Annapurna Pictures, champion of compelling artistic cinema, has filled out Ana Lily Armipour’s mysterious The Bad Batch with some fascinating names: Keanu Reeves, Jim Carrey, Jason Momoa, and Diego Luna.

 In Cinemas

Insurgent and The Gunman opened in the States this weekend…. So, what’s on TV?

On TV

The Walking Dead finale airs on Sunday, and Community returns with Season 6 on Yahoo Screen, making the “six seasons and a movie” line more and more prophetic. Those are fun and all, but I urge you to check out HBO’s The Jinx. A lot of us missed this chilling documentary series the first time around, but I guarantee you’ll be hearing a lot more about it in the news.

On Netflix

On March 20th, Netflix debuted season 1 of  Bloodline, continuing their streak of solid programming with this mysterious, nonlinear tale about a Florida family’s dark past.
