'Spartacus' Creator Urges 'Buffy' Reboot: "Swing!"

Bad Bunny is set to make history as the first Latin solo artist to headline the Super Bowl halftime show this Sunday, a performance that comes after the Grammy Awards where he and other celebrities made jabs at President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. The selection of the 31-year-old artist was backed by National Football League (NFL) commissioner Roger Goodell, who stated, "Bad Bunny is, and I think that was demonstrated last night, one of the great artists in the world, and thats one of the reasons we chose him."

The upcoming performance has sparked discussion about its potential political undertones. Goodell also noted that Bad Bunny "understood the platform he was on and that this platform is used to bring people together."

In other entertainment news, the creator of "Spartacus," Steven S. DeKnight, discussed the Season 1 finale of "Spartacus: House of Ashur," which is now available on Starz, revealing a major plot point. DeKnight, who has experience creating several cinematic universes, also offered advice for the "Buffy" reboot, urging the team to "swing for the fences," according to Variety.

Meanwhile, the stars of "Mystery Science Theater 3000" are preparing for the revival of the show with four new episodes, promising to select "classic bad, rather than modern bad" movies, as reported by Variety. The veteran MST3K trio of Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett are returning for the new episodes.

Also, the HBO series "Industry" is exploring new territory, with the show taking the London finance drama to Africa. In the series, "heroes are hard to come by," according to Variety.

Finally, a new Peacock series is drawing comparisons to the horror-comedy classic "Get Out." The series follows a new mother, played by Keke Palmer, who moves to a suburban cul-de-sac. "Its giving Get Out," Palmer said, according to Time.
