Infinite adventures on the horizon! Star Trek: Strange New Worlds returns to SkyShowtime later this year with a third season!

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is based on the years Captain Christopher Pike manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise. The series follows Captain Pike, Science Officer Spock, Number One and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise in the years before Captain Kirk boarded the starship, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy.

In season three, when we reconnect with the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, still under the command of Captain Pike, they face the conclusion of season two's harrowing encounter with the Gorn. But new life and civilizations await, including a villain that will test our characters’ grit and resolve. An exciting twist on classic Star Trek, season three takes characters both new and beloved to new heights, and dives into thrilling adventures of faith, duty, romance, comedy, and mystery, with varying genres never before seen on any other Star Trek.

‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ Season Two Adds Mapuana Makia and Angela Najjar To Cast

The main cast for the second season of Netflix's live-action reimagining of Avatar: The Last Airbender has been long assembled, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still new characters to be discovered. Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve learned of two new faces you’ll be seeing in the show, which just recently wrapped production and will be commencing filming again for the third and final season shortly.

As you may remember, the major new cast announcements came back late last year with the streamer confirming several major new names joining season 2 in the Earth Kingdom. To recap, those new names included Miya Cech as Toph Beifong, Chin Han as Long Feng, Justin Chien as King Kuei, Amanda Zhou as Joo Dee, Crystal Yu as Lady Beifong, Kelemete Misipeka as The Boulder, Hoa Xuande as Professor Zei, Lourdes Faberes as General Sung, and Rekha Sharma as Amita.  

Avatar Season 2 Major Cast Additions

Angela Najjar, Mapuana Makia Avatar
WoNetflix

It is being reported that Netflix's live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series has added two new names to its cast for season two.

Upcoming actor Angela Najjar has been cast in the fan-favorite role of Jin, who featured in the original animated series on Nickeodeon. First introduced in "The Tales of Ba Sing Se", Jin is part of the Earth Kingdom and is a refugee of the Hundred-Year War and notably develops a crush on Zuko in the series.

Najjar hasn’t appeared in any major productions but has appeared in many local stage productions in Thailand and Lebanon, such as Journey to Bethlehem and Matilda. She is 18, half-Lebanese and half-Thai, fluent in four languages, and proficient in martial arts.

Hawaiian-born actress Mapuana Makia, known for her role as Noelani Nakayama in Disney’s Doogie Kamealoha, M.D., will appear in a recurring guest star role in season two of Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender. Although her character has not been revealed, Makia is expected to portray a recurring character. Makia is the second Hawaiian or Samoan actor to join the cast following Kelemete Misipeka, who was previously announced as The Boulder.

The new names come from Knight Edge Media, which has been on top of all things Avatar: The Last Airbender over the past few years, including the Netflix live-action series and animated titles currently in the works. 

In the original series, during the anthology episode “Tales of Ba Sing Se,” Zuko meets an Earth Kingdom girl, Jin, who asks him on a date. It’s a small part of the episode, but the character became an instant fan favorite, with many wishing Zuko ended up with her instead of Mai. Other parts of the episode include Aang creating a zoo, Toph getting a girly makeover with Katara, and Iroh mourning the death of his son, Lew Ten.

Netflix added a version of Iroh honoring Lew Ten with his funeral scene in season one, playing the "Leaves From The Vine" instrumental music in the background. Najjar revealed on Instagram that she traveled to Vancouver during production earlier this year.

The outlet also reports that Victor Lau (Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies) is set to appear in episode four in a minor role, while Tina Pham (Invasion) will have a small role in the season finale.

The new additions join returning cast members Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio, Ian Ousley, Dallas Liu, Elizabeth Yu, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Daniel Dae Kim, Momona Tamada and Thalia Tran.

Filming on season two wrapped up sometime in late March, although none of the cast or crew associated with the show has shared any pictures or information on that exact wrap date. What we do know is that the show now goes into a small hiatus before picking up filming again on May 26th and then runs through to at least November 7th, 2025. 

Avatar: The Last Airbender season two is expected to return to our screens in 2026.

'SpongeBob SquarePants' Reportedly Renewed For Season 16 at Nickelodeon

Nickelodeon has reportedly renewed the network's beloved animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants, for season 16! The news comes hot on the fins of the show becoming the longest-running animated children's series, taking the crown from Arthur.

SpongeBob SquarePants

It's currently unknown how many episodes SpongeBob SquarePants season 16 will contain, however, over the past year, Nickelodeon has been splitting seasons that were initially ordered for 26 episodes into halves, with the latter 13 episodes going on to make up a new season. This is to keep their sizes more consistent with the season lengths currently consumed on streaming services, such as Paramount+, where all shows ultimately end up.

This is what happened with SpongeBob season 14, with several episodes produced for that season going on to make up season 15, with episodes from that season, initially ordered for 26 episodes, reportedly going on to make up season 16.

SpongeBob season 16 was revealed by sound effects designer and editor Jeffrey Hutchins, who announced on his official Twitter feed that he had started working on the first episode of this season, "Bizarro Bottom" and "Squidward’s Tough Break," albeit referring to it as "season 15," due to the series being on its fifteenth production season.

In "Bizarro Bottom." SpongeBob falls asleep on the bus and ends up in a strange town full of Bikini Bottom doppelgangers. Then in "Squidward's Tough Break," after Squidward loses his memory, he adopts a new tough guy persona. (#320)

It is important to note, however, that a sixteenth season of SpongeBob SquarePants is still to be confirmed by Nickelodeon.

Update (4/5) - Paramount has confirmed SpongeBob has been renewed for a 16th season! Additionally, Amy Lewis has revealed on her official X/Twitter account that season 14 has officially wrapped production!

Since its launch July 17, 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants has generated a universe of beloved characters, pop culture catchphrases and memes, theatrical releases, consumer products, a Tony award-winning Broadway musical and a global fan base. SpongeBob SquarePants is one of the most widely distributed properties in Paramount history, seen in more than 180 markets, translated in 30+ languages, and averaging more than 90 million total viewers every quarter. SpongeBob SquarePants was created by Stephen Hillenburg and produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank, Calif. The character-driven cartoon chronicles the nautical and sometimes nonsensical adventures of SpongeBob, an incurable optimist and earnest sea sponge, and his undersea friends.

Kristen Wiig and Gloria Estefan Join ‘Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie’ | CinemaCon

Kristen Wiig and Gloria Estefan have joined the cast of live-action/animated adventure comedy Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie. DreamWorks Animation president Margie Cohn announced the news from the Colosseum stage inside Caesars Palace in Las Vegas during Universal Pictures’ CinemaCon presentation on Wednesday (April 2) afternoon, saying, “Our girl is primed and ready for her feature theatrical debut.”

Gabby's Dollhouse

The film is set to be released in theaters across the U.S. on Friday, September 26.

Estefan will play Grandma Gigi in the hybrid family adventure, with Wiig in a “new spin on the crazy cat lady,” Cohn said.

The movie is a big-screen version of Netflix’s popular kids series, whose 11th season debuted on the streamer in February. The film sees Gabby (Laila Lockhart Kraner, reprising her role from the series) head out on a road trip with her Grandma Gigi to the urban wonderland of Cat Francisco. But when Gabby’s dollhouse, her most prized possession, ends up in the hands of an eccentric cat lady named Vera, Gabby sets off on an adventure through the real world to get the Gabby Cats back together and save the dollhouse before it’s too late.

Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie is directed by Ryan Crego (executive producer of Home: Adventures with Tip & Oh, I Heart Arlo), who earned a Children’s and Family Emmy nomination for his television feature Arlo the Alligator Boy. The film is produced by Steven Schweickart, who has served as a production supervisor or co-producer on some of DreamWorks Animation’s biggest blockbusters including How to Train Your Dragon, The Croods and most recently, Kung Fu Panda 4, which has earned almost $500 million worldwide.

Also featuring in the film are Logan Bailey, Eduardo Franco, Juliet Donenfeld, Blue's Clues alum Donovan Patton, Sainty Nelsen, Maggie Lowe, Carla Tassara, the Fairly OddParents' Tara Strong and Secunda Wood.

Gabby’s Dollhouse, which is now in its 11th season (76 episodes overall), first premiered on Netflix in January of 2021. Created by Blue’s Clues veterans Traci Paige Johnson (Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood) and Jennifer Twomey (Team Umizoomi), the interactive show combines live-action and animation and follows the adventures of Gabby (voiced and portrayed by Laila Lockhart Kraner) and her feline friends (the Gabby Cats) inside the magical dollhouse. The show, which was renewed for a 12th season, has been a huge success for Netflix and DreamWorks Animation, and is considered one of the the top preschool brands in the U.S. across publishing, home, apparel and more. The Gabby’s Dollhouse YouTube channell gets a million visitors weekly. In addition to Netflix, the series also airs on Nick Jr. channels in selected territories, including the U.S., UK & Ireland, and Australia.

During her time on stage, Cohn detailed the cultural impact Gabby has had in her short life since being created by DreamWorks, citing a YouTube channel with three billion views, a best-selling consumer products line, and ratings that make keep it consistently in Netflix’s top 10. (She said the ratings are so strong that it is on par with shows like The Lincoln Lawyer, Reacher and Bridgerton.)

“She’s big and she’s about to get much bigger,” Cohn said, revealing plans propelled by NBC Universal that will see the franchise expanding into theme parks, live entertainment, gaming, interactive offerings and more. “Which is to say that our girl is primed and ready for her theatrical debut,” Cohn said, adding that it will be an “all new hybrid family adventure” that is “imaginative and interactive.”

Big Time Rush Celebrate BTR Day 2025

Big Time Rush are celebrating this year's Big Time Rush Day with fans across the globe as they take to socials with fun new activations, newly released live concert videos, an intimate fan event in Nashville, TN and a special ticket offer for their upcoming BIG TIME RUSH IN REAL LIFE WORLDWIDE tour, which is on sale now.

BTR Day 2025 logo

From Friday, April 4 through Sunday, April 6, fans can get tickets for most U.S. tour dates for just $30 all in plus taxes, while supplies last. For tickets and more information, go to BigTimeRushOfficial.com

Big Time Rush encourage fans to participate by using #BTRDay across socials to join the celebration all day long. The BTR Day celebration will conclude with an in-person fan event in Nashville, TN, where Big Time Rush has invited fans to watch a special screening of the first episode of Big Time Rush, "Big Time Audition" along with a Q&A and more.

On Tuesday, April 4, 2023, the Mayor of Duluth, MN - Emily Larson - made an official proclamation from the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center making the date an annual national holiday. As the band's fans - Rushers - well know, Duluth holds special significance for Big Time Rush as the hometown of the four bandmembers on the hit Nickelodeon show Big Time Rush.

BIG TIME RUSH IN REAL LIFE WORLDWIDE will give fans exactly what they've long asked for - the band will play every song from every episode of their hit Nickelodeon show, many of which have never been played live. Rushers will finally get to revisit their favorite moments from the show, plus many more surprises. Katelyn Tarver and Stephen Kramer Glickman, also known as Jo and Gustavo on the show, will be joining the band as support on all tour dates, making for an epic reunion.


Produced by Live Nation, the tour will kick off in Birmingham, AL on July 9. Carlos, Kendall, James & Logan will hit over 50 cities this year in the U.S., U.K. and Europe in a career-spanning, worldwide celebration of their hits, their fans & their friendship. The band is set to announce additional tour dates in more countries at another time.

Big Time Rush became an overnight sensation in 2009 from the launch of the Nickelodeon television series Big Time Rush. The show was a huge success and catapulted the group into real-life stardom, as they went on to release 3 studio albums and performed across the globe, including five tours from 2011 to 2014. In June 2020, the band held a surprise virtual reunion to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their smash hit "Worldwide," resulting in mass hysteria amongst their fans and in the media. In March 2021, all four seasons of Nickelodeon's Big Time Rush were added to Netflix and the band went viral once again, increasing fan demand for an official reunion. Soon after, the band announced they would come together for two special live shows in New York and Chicago, both of which sold-out in a matter of minutes, blowing expectations out of the water and proving the power of the band's devoted fandom.

Since reuniting, Big Time Rush has completed three back-to-back sold-out tours, selling out venues across the globe, including New York's iconic Madison Square Garden. Their first new album in over 10 years, Another Life, was released in 2023 to praise from critics and fans alike.

The collaboration introduces a variety of clothing items including swimwear, footwear, and vegan accessories, featuring the familiar faces of SpongeBob and his underwater friends. The products are available in styles that cater to both girls and boys.

This launch comes amidst growing concerns about the fashion industry’s environmental impact. According to research published in Nature Climate Change, marine life is under significant threat, with up to 90% at risk of extinction by 2100 unless action is taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Fashion contributes notably to environmental degradation, being responsible for a large portion of microplastic pollution in the oceans and accounting for about 20% of global freshwater pollution, as highlighted in reports by McKinsey and JustOneOcean.

In response to these challenges, the capsule collection by Stella McCartney Kids x SpongeBob SquarePants is made from 93% sustainable materials and is 100% cruelty-free, reflecting the brand’s commitment to ecological responsibility, thus protecting our fellow creatures and Mother Earth for future generations”. The collection features a variety of beach and skater-inspired designs, including light crochet knits, denim, and tie-dye loungewear made from organic cotton. Additionally, bombers, bags, and swimwear crafted from recycled materials help reduce plastic waste in oceans.

The lineup includes acid wash yellow and vintage wash denim sets embroidered with characters from Bikini Bottom, as well as pieces in bright yellow crochet showcasing SpongeBob himself. The collection also features tie-dye themes on organic cotton jersey, fleece, and denim sets, with McCartney typography iterations available in block colourways, along with monochrome sketches on pinstripe cotton poplin sets, faded denim shorts, and boxy tees.

“At Stella, we question everything — thinking out of the box, questioning humanity as we know it,” McCartney said, adding, “and SpongeBob has the same values as us. He’s a little bit crazy; he’s not of the norm and we celebrate every single thing about SpongeBob and his community.”

“Stella has transformed SpongeBob’s joyful spirit into a sophisticated whimsical fashion-forward collection for this iconic franchise,” said Pam Kaufman, Paramount’s president and chief executive officer of international markets, global consumer products, and experiences.

Stella McCartney Kids x SpongeBob SquarePants is available for purchase online at stellamccartney.com, in select Stella McCartney boutiques globally, and through selected wholesalers worldwide starting 20th March 2025.

Paramount Applies to Trademark 'Avatar: Safe Havens' With the USPTO [Updated]

Paramount Global has applied to trademark the name Avatar: Safe Havens with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

'Avatar: The Last Airbender' cast

Update (4/5) - Paramount have now "abandoned" their trademark applications for Avatar: Safe Havens, and are now applying to trademark the previously announced Avatar: Seven Havens title.

Paramount, under Viacom International Inc., has applied to register Avatar: Safe Havens under three NICE Classes: 28, for "Games; toys; sports equipment"; 41, for "Education, entertainment, sporting and cultural services"; and 25, for "Clothing; footwear; headgear". The requests was filed on March 14, 2025, and are currently pending approval.

It's currently unknown whether Avatar: Safe Havens pertains to an already announced Avatar: The Last Airbender project, such as the upcoming movie, tentatively titled Aang: The Last Airbender, or the upcoming animated series, Avatar: Seven Havens, or a completely new, still unannounced project set in the Avatarverse.

However, a clue might be in one of the NICE Classes that Paramount has applied to register the title in. NICE Class 41 is for "entertainment services, namely, a multimedia series featuring animation distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing non-downloadable television programs featuring animation via a video-on-demand service; providing entertainment information to others via a global computer network", which could pertain to Avatar: Seven Havens. As the names are very similar, Avatar: Safe Havens could be a new name for Avatar: Seven Havens, as it's not uncommon for series to change titles whilst in production. However, this is purely speculation.

Announced in February 2025, Nickelodeon is continuing the mythology and adventure of the beloved animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender with Avatar: Seven Havens, an all-new series from creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. Set in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, the original 26-episode, 2D-animated series centers around a young Earthbender who discovers she’s the new Avatar.

Avatar: Seven Havens is set in a world shattered by a devastating cataclysm. A young Earthbender discovers she's the new Avatar after Korra – but in this dangerous era, that title marks her as humanity's destroyer, not its savior. Hunted by both human and spirit enemies, she and her long-lost twin must uncover their mysterious origins and save the Seven Havens before civilization’s last strongholds collapse.

The series is in production under the Avatar Studios banner from Nickelodeon Animation in Burbank. Avatar: Seven Havens is comprised of Book 1 (13 half-hour episodes) and Book 2 (13 half-hour episodes). Michael DiMartino (Avatar: The Last AirbenderThe Legend of Korra) and Bryan Konietzko (Avatar: The Last AirbenderThe Legend of Korra) are co-creators and executive producers. Ethan Spaulding is executive producer and Sehaj Sethi is co-executive producer.

Previously announced, Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies’ highly anticipated Untitled Animated Aang Avatar film debuts only in theatres on January 30, 2026, featuring a voice cast that includes Dave Bautista, Dionne Quan, Jessica Matten, Román Zaragoza, Steven Yeun, and introducing Eric Nam.

The news comes as Nickelodeon celebrates the milestone 20th anniversary of Avatar: The Last Airbender with all-new original digital content across the Paramount ecosystem, one-of-a-kind experiences, and exclusive consumer products and games. Since its debut February 21, 2005, Avatar: The Last Airbender has been a fixture with fans around the world, spawning a universe of popular characters, a spinoff series with The Legend of Korra, several bestselling book series, live orchestra world tour and an upcoming theatrical film.
