      AceShowbiz – Finn Wolfhard was close to giving up acting before landing a role on the smash hit “Stranger Things”.
      The 17-year-old almost decided on an alternate career after he lost out on a role in an unnamed film – he figured he’d later step behind the camera as a director instead.
      The star, who was then 12, reveals he was “sick in bed and almost considering not even acting (anymore)” at the time he was due to submit his audition tape for the Netflix series.
      The low key try out also included a chat with the show’s casting directors but Finn still couldn’t get excited about the possibility of being cast.
      “They just kind of pitched me the show – I was, like, 12 – and we talked about all the movies it was based on,” he shares.
      He went on to land the role of Mike Wheeler but admits he had limited expectations for the sci-fi project, which was created by Matt and Ross Duffer.
      “We just thought we were filming this secret thing that no one knew about,” he shares. “Which we were. No one knew what we were doing. Netflix was kind of hands-off. We thought maybe it would become a cult classic, and we’ll come back to it in 30 years and be really proud of doing it.”
      Meanwhile, “Stranger Things”‘ season three audience smashed previous viewership records for the platform, with 40 million households streaming the show. Filming of season four, which was taking place in Atlanta, Georgia, was halted due to the coronavirus pandemic.

      The CW

      Shortly after The CW announced that the ‘Riverdale’ spin-off will not return for a second season, its leading actress turns to social media to reflect her time filming the series.

      AceShowbiz – Lucy Hale was reduced to tears on Thursday, July 2 as she reflected on the cancellation of her U.S. TV series “Katy Keene”.
      The former “Pretty Little Liars” star took on the title role in the “Riverdale” spin-off, but bosses at network The CW announced on Thursday that they wouldn’t be renewing it for a second season.
      Following the news, Lucy took to her Instagram page to tell fans the programme had been, “one of the highlights of my life,” and a, “joy from top to bottom”.
      “This is a job that has broken my heart multiple times… It will take some time to get over it,” Lucy said, admitting the video was one of several takes as she’d been a “blubbering mess”.
      “I just wanted you all to hear that the show is not coming back and that sucks, but I’ll hold my head high. Who knows what I’ll do next. We’ll see,” she concluded.

      Despite the cancellation, Deadline reported that Warner Bros. Television, the studio behind the show, is looking for a new home for the series. According to the website, the best option is HBO Max, as “Katy Keene” is already streamed on the service.
      Options on the cast had previously been extended until July 31, which means Warner Bros. has until then to find a new network for the show. After that, the actors and crew involved in the show will be allowed to look for new jobs.
