Studio Pierrot is revisiting its magical girl roots with a new anime project, marking the first installment in nearly thirty years since Fancy Lala, the Magic Stage. The Pierrot Magical Girl Series began in 1983 with Magical Angel Creamy Mami, and after five seasons, the franchise went on hiatus.

I just got the scoop – season two of The Madison is a go! Filming has finished, and we’ll be seeing much more of the Clyburn family.

Adams), and Abigail’s kids, Bridgette (Amiah Miller) and Macy (Alaina Pollock) – heads to Montana, where Preston died, hoping to find some peace and figure out their next steps. It sounds like a really emotional season!

People often discuss which role truly launched Michael B. Jordan’s career. While many point to his memorable performance as the villain in Black Panther or his role as boxer Adonis Creed in Creed, others remember his early work as Wallace in The Wire.
