Beacon 23 is a sci-fi psychological thriller series created by Zak Penn. The MGM+ series has finally returned for its second season, filmed simultaneously with its first season. Based on a short story series of the same name by Hugh Lowey, the sci-fi series is set in the 23rd century and it tells us the story of two strangers stranded together at the end of the known universe at a lighthouse in space.

Here is a wrap-up of all the news you need to know from Monday, December 18, 2023.
NBC's Magnum P.I. will conclude with a two-hour series, finale it has been announced.
After ending 2023 with two episodes still in the can, there were questions about when the show would return.
TVLine has revealed that the two episodes will air back-to-back on Wednesday, January 3, 2024, beginning at 9 p.m. E.T.
It's a real shame the series is ending because Magnum P.I. Season 5 has been the show at its very best, and there are plenty of ways it could continue.
Despite the cancellation, its passionate fans are not giving up the hope of finding the series a third home.
Meanwhile, MGM+ has announced a pickup of Beacon 23 Season 2.

MGM+ has renewed sci-fi mystery thriller series Beacon 23 for a second season. The eight-episode season 2 will premiere on the streaming service in April. The news is not a surprise. The series already had been renewed by Spectrum and AMC, where it originally had been greenlit, and MGM+ is now formally committing to air it.
Starring Stephan James and Lena Headey in Season 1, Beacon 23, based on the best-selling book by Hugh Howey, is created and executive produced by Zak Penn.
Set in the farthest reaches of the Milky Way, Season 1 followed Aster (Headey), a government agent, and Halan (James), a stoic ex-military man, whose fates became entangled after they found themselves trapped together inside one of many Beacons that served as a lighthouse for intergalactic travelers. In Season Two, Beacon 23 is now little more than a prison with Aleph onboard, and The Artifact provides more questions than answers.

MGM+ is returning to Beacon 23.
The premium cable network formerly known as Epix has officially picked up a second season of the sci-fi drama series starring Stephan James and Lena Headey.
The news comes as MGM+ just wrapped the first season of the drama from creator Zak Penn and aired a teaser for the second season of Beacon 23 (watch it below). Season two of the series, which was originally developed for Spectrum Originals and was poised to have a second window on AMC before the former bailed on originals, was already completed as filming on both cycles of the show was done back-to-back.
“The creative team behind Beacon 23 has masterfully brought Hugh Howey’s best-selling book to life, and we’re excited for fans to continue this journey into Beacon 23’s universe of suspense, emotion and unforeseen twists,” said Michael Wright, head of MGM+.

There’s a specific picture that comes up time and time again in MGM+’s Beacon 23, of a lone man standing just outside a lighthouse as a massive wave comes crashing from behind. Whether the man makes it inside, whether he drowns, why he was out there in the first place are left up for the viewer to imagine, based on their own hopes or fears. But the not-knowing casts a certain mood in itself.
It’s a fitting prop for a series that similarly proves more interested in raising questions than answering them, and that likewise suggests the uncertainty might be the point. Its endless searching can prove frustrating at times, particularly when the sci-fi drama stumbles over basic flaws in its storytelling. But those with enough curiosity and patience to wait out its rough patches — and those with a taste for cerebral sci-fi — may find themselves falling under its plaintive spell.

[This story contains spoilers for The Last of Us’ season finale, “Look for the Light.”]
Merle Dandridge had the unique opportunity to reprise her role from The Last of Us video game series on HBO’s live-action adaptation, and so far, she’s the only performer from the games that can say that. Dandridge plays Marlene, the leader of the rebellious Fireflies, and she also happens to be the oldest friend of Anna (Ashley Johnson), Ellie’s (Bella Ramsey) mother.
In the Ali Abbasi-directed season one finale, “Look for the Light,” which was written by series co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, Dandridge took on one of her most challenging scenes to date, as Marlene, during a flashback, had to put an infected Anna to death shortly after she’d given birth to Ellie. But before Marlene pulled the trigger, she made a promise to Anna that she’d look after her child.
The rub of the scene is that Ashley Johnson played the...

Hopefully you still remember the crafting recipe for shivs, because it'll soon be time to return to the world of "The Last of Us." The critically-acclaimed post-apocalyptic video game from Naughty Dog has been adapted for the screen at HBO, with Pedro Pascal ("The Mandalorian") once again playing a reluctant dad to a scrappy orphan as Joel, and Bella Ramsey ("Game of Thrones") once again playing a scrappy orphan as Ellie.
"The Last of Us" is set in a version of our world that has been ravaged by a fungal pandemic known as the cordyceps brain infection, which turns sufferers into highly aggressive living zombies in the early stages and strange mushroom monsters in the later stages. Gruff survivor Joel is charged with escorting rebellious teenager Ellie across this dangerous landscape, with many grim horrors and plenty of acoustic guitar music along the way.

HBO's "The Last of Us" series adapts the acclaimed post-apocalyptic video games developed by Naughty Dog, with the games' creative director, Neil Druckmann, serving as co-showrunner alongside writer-producer Craig Mazin ("Chernobyl"). Yet, as visually faithful as the show is shaping up to be, it's also clear this won't be a beat-for-beat re-telling in terms of story. Season 1 alone will feature such original additions as Perry, a rebel played by Tommy's voice actor from the games, Jeffrey Pierce. Natasha Mumba ("Y: The Last Man") and Brad Leland ("Friday Night Lights") are similarly playing characters who were likely created for the series to aid...

HBO is bringing the zombie-infested, post-apocalyptic world of "The Last of Us" to life, with plenty of people coming along for the ride. Production on this video game adaptation is well underway, with details remaining pretty tight (sans a few sneak peeks here and there), but every now and then, we get news of another cast member added to the team.
