  "Fans of the Marvel Television series recently canceled by Netflix who hope to see the shows revived on Disney+ may be out of luck," reports Variety. Sources tell the trade magazine "that the deal for the original four Marvel shows includes a clause that prevents the characters from appearing in any non-Netflix series or film for at least two years after cancellation. That means that Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist — which were all canceled this year at Netflix — could not come to the Disney streaming service until 2020 at the earliest." Variety says the chances of those characters being revived elsewhere is a "long shot." "And even if they did go to Disney+ as soon as possible," Variety reports, "they would be doing so without Jessica Jones, which is set to air its third season on Netflix sometime in 2019. If that show is canceled, which now seems likely but is by no means a guarantee, it could not go elsewhere until 2021."

  One day after her older sister spilled the beans, Cyrus confirmed to Howard Stern this morning that she'll return to acting on the acclaimed Netflix series. Cyrus told Stern she was worried about mentioning the series' name because she hadn't cleared it with Netflix or producers. (Netflix and Black Mirror producers have yet to confirm the guest appearance.) "I'm really actually excited for everyone to watch the 'headshaking project' we said yes to (before)," she said cryptically, according to Billboard. "The minute I say I never want to do something again, all of a sudden, there I am." Cyrus said returning to acting on Black Mirror was a revelation. "I hate everything, but it was the first time I've left somewhere feeling really proud of my work...but you know if I like it that might mean it's horrible," she said. Cyrus will next be performing on SNL's Christmas show with Mark Ronson this weekend.

• Posted Tuesday 12/11/18 at 10:14PM EST Why are Marvel series missing from Netflix's list of most binge-worthy shows of 2018?
  Source: io9

  On My Block came out on top as the No. 1 binged show on Netflix in 2018, but why aren't there any Marvel shows listed? "Netflix makes a point of indicating that the list’s rankings aren’t reflective of a show’s overall popularity, which makes one wonder what the point of publishing the list in the first place was, if that’s the case," says Charles Pulliam-Moore. "But the Marvel shows’ complete absence from the report is telling in and of itself. Depending on how you look at it, either Netflix is owning up to the fact that a lot of people are really feeling the Marvel binge fatigue, especially after a handful of seasons of rather lackluster solo series...or this could just be Netflix’s very polite way of acknowledging that its little corner of the MCU is truly coming to an end."

  The streaming service is teaming with the family of the late Tejano music legend to tell what it describes as a coming-of-age story. No further details were revealed. Selena was tragically killed at age 23 in 1995 by the president of her fan club. "Selena will always have a lasting place in music history and we feel great responsibility to do justice to her memory," said Selena's sister, Suzette Quintanilla, in a statement. "We are excited to partner with Campanario and Netflix to give fans a never-before-seen glimpse at our story and highlight why Selena will remain a legend for generations to come." Selena is still massively popular. Her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony last year drew a record 4,500 fans. Earlier this year, ABC ordered a pilot on a drama series inspired by the legacy of Selena.
