FALL 2013: AMC'S 'THE KILLING' IS COMING BACK TO LIFE...TO NETFLIX.

The Killing is coming back to life...again.

The mystery drama that was canceled twice by AMC will be returning for a short fourth and final season thanks to the good folks at Netflix. The highly praised third season concluded several months ago with a cliffhanger of sorts. Fans took to the internet to vent over the network's decision to cancel the show a second time without giving Sarah Linden and Stephen Holder a proper ending.

Netflix has picked up the series for a 6-episode final season to wrap up all the loose ends. The streaming service stated that "the rich, serialized storytelling in The Killing thrives on Netflix, and we believe it is only fitting to give Sarah Linden and Stephen Holder a proper send off."

No date has been given for the show's return.

TV: MARVEL UNIVERSE TO EXPAND ON THE SMALL SCREEN; NETFLIX PLANNING TO STREAM ORIGINAL PROGRAMMING

We're getting word that an amazing collaboration between Netflix and The Walt Disney Company is in the works and will bring several Marvel Comics characters to the streaming service in live-action series formats.

The ball will tentatively get rolling in 2015 with a 13-episode live action series revolving around the Daredevil/Matt Murdock character. The last time Daredevil was seen on screen was back in 2003 when Ben Affleck took on the role of the blind vigilante. Once the Daredevil series concludes, another series, this time focusing on Jessica Jones, will premiere. As part of the multi-year agreement, two more series, focusing on Luke Cage and Iron Fist, will follow suit.

But the fun doesn't end there. Once all four proposed shows stream and conclude on Netflix, they will be followed by a miniseries event that unites the heroes (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist) into one team. Reports are claiming that the assembled team will be a reimage of The Defenders. Marvel Comics fans may recall that The Defenders was consisted of several individual members harboring their own agendas. While originally conceived as a group of anti-team or non-team outsiders, The Defenders brought heroes together to battle mystic and supernatural threats. Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist have been part of The Defenders at one point or another in the comics canon. 

The multi-year deal is noteworthy considering the size and scope of the project. Marvel is determined to increase its domain on the small screen and Netflix is more than capable to stream original programming after its considerable award-winning ventures this past year (House of Cards, Arrested Development, Orange is the New Black).

FALL 2013: LAURA PREPON EXITING 'ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK'

Netflix's hit comedy-drama Orange is the New Black is losing one of its leading stars. Laura Prepon won't be returning as a series regular for the second season. Prepon portrays Alex, the on-again, off-again romantic interest to lead character Piper. Though Netflix has been coy about a possible future return, Prepon is scheduled to return next season to wrap up her character's storyline. No date has been given for the start of the 13-episode second season.
