Netflix renews ‘Stranger Things’ for season 3

Netflix

In a move that surprises no one, Netflix has announced in a couple of tweets that the sci-fi thriller is coming back for another season. The end of the second season left room for another season to happen. Plus, the showrunners, the Duffer brothers, have been upfront about still having storylines to work on for at least two seasons. Aside from announcing the new season, there is no word yet on when this will happen but if the two seasons are anything to go by, we might see the next season before the end of 2018.

Netflix orders a new show based on ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’

Those who grew up in the ‘90s are well-acquainted with Sabrina The Teenage Witch, I personally watched the show as often as I could. And now, those from my generation will get to see a new side to Sabrina as Netflix just ordered two 10-episode seasons of the show based on the Archie Comics graphic novel The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. The show was originally in development at The CW as a companion show for Riverdale. But it seems the popularity of Riverdale on Netflix has prompted the streaming service to get it for itself. It isn’t clear though if the two shows will exist in the same universe.

While we don’t have a set release date yet, the new series will be a “dark coming-of-age story that traffics in horror, the occult, and witchcraft.” Sabrina Spellman having to deal with being a normal half-human/half-witch teenager while she battles evil forces. The show’s pilot will be written by Riverdale’s creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lee Toland Krieger will be directing, similar to what the two did to the aforementioned show. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Jon Goldwater–all executive producers on Riverdale–will also executive produce the show.

Latest update for the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ seems to have crippled fast charging on some devices

Samsung recently released its monthly security patch for the Galaxy S8 and S8+ but it seems to have done harm to some users. The update seems to have caused issues with the devices’ fast charging capabilities. On top of that, some users also see wireless charging being hit by the issue. Standard charging still works but if you’ve come to rely on fast charging this issue is a big inconvenience. Owners of these phones have taken to airing their frustrations online but Samsung has yet to issue a comment on the matter. Hopefully, they’re working on the fix as we speak.
