How A Firefly-Style Sci-Fi Series Got Five Seasons And No One Noticed
By Jonathan Klotz and Joshua Tyler | Published

The 1990s and the early 2000’s delivered tons of wild, fun, televised science fiction, but that seemed to fade away in the 2010s. It was replaced by super serious programming like Battlestar Galactica and The Expanse, with little lighthearted adventure left for sci-fi fans.
One show, though, dared to be different. It bucked the trend and delivered a series of fun space adventures, quietly earning five full seasons in the process.
Lost in a haze of twenty-teens angst, almost no one seemed to notice, but it’s time to change that. This is Why Killjoys Failed.
Firefly wasn’t the first series to use the sci-fi-Western mashup, but it did popularize it. To this day, it is what people think of when they hear “space western.” Decades later, it has become common for sci-fi shows to incorporate aspects of Westerns into their world-building and storytelling. Though it lacks the dusters and six-shooters, Killjoys captures that same spirit of the old West.
Following a trio of bounty hunters that are constantly outgunned and often on the run from one group or another, it doesn’t hit like Firefly, but scratches the same itch. A Killjoy is a bounty hunter. In the first episode, we meet our “heroes,” Dutch and Johnny, as they take a kill warrant for Andras on what seems like a routine mission.

It turns out, though, that “Andras” is actually Johnny’s brother D’avin, so instead, they find a way to nullify the kill warrant. D’avin joins them as a brand-new member of the Killjoys and, thus, becomes the audience surrogate for learning about the rough-and-tumble business.
That’s only the first two episodes of Killjoys, which soon falls into a rhythm of episodic adventures combined with the usual mythology arc playing out in the background. Unlike some sci-fi shows that can’t find the right balance, this SyFy original keeps things moving from the word “go.”

The Killjoys are working as officers for the RAC (Reclamation Apprehension Coalition), one of many factions in the universe. It all revolves around Old Town, an industrial city essentially controlled by The Company, a massive conglomerate that has a stranglehold on trade and commerce. You can see where the conflict in Killjoys is going, but as with any series about life on the edge of society, allegiances can change with the wind.
During its run on SyFy, Killjoys received widespread praise for the surprising depth of its world. Unlike Firefly, which didn’t have time to explain much of the workings of the Inner Planets, this series delves deep into politics, subterfuge, and secret plots involving immortal super soldiers.
Why Killjoys Failed

Killjoys never really got the credit it deserved during its run, but the SyFy channel treated it well. It was canceled after 5 seasons, but SyFy allowed it to finish on its own terms, something genre television almost never gets.
Despite getting five seasons, Killjoys never really blew up big on the radar of most science fiction fans, and today, only a few years after the show ended its run in 2019, it’s all but forgotten. What happened? Why isn’t it a bigger part of the conversation?

The thing about Killjoys is that it’s very much a spiritual successor to not only Firefly but also Farscape. In an era of super serious sci-fi, it doesn’t take itself too seriously and remains fairly light-hearted throughout.
However, that is both a positive and, to some, a negative. Killjoys never reaches the emotional depth of its contemporaries, like The Expanse or Dark Matter. And we have to admit, it’s reflected in the show’s acting, which is passable but doesn’t go beyond “B-tier sci-fi series.”

To some, that’s a good thing. If you start watching the show for a good time that’s exactly what you’ll get. You get a lot of it too, as there’s plenty to binge.
One of our favorite things about Killjoys is the fun that the crew had with the episode titles, which are all either puns or references, from “How to Kill Friends and Influence People” to “The Hullen Have Eyes” and, what we hope is a purposeful reference to Blake Lively’s greatest line-reading of all time, “Wargasm.” That immediately lets you know the level of seriousness the show maintains, and you’re now either excited to check it out or want to stay far, far away.

As a show on television in an era of super serious TV, an era in which people were so against even the notion of comedy that Hollywood stopped making them, it’s easy to understand why Killjoys may never have seen the success it might have deserved.

‘Scream 7’ Trailer Forces Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox To Confront Old Ghostfaces
The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots might be engaged in the fight of their careers in tonight’s Super Bowl, but a new trailer for Scream 7 reveals that Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and plenty of fresh meat will be in it for the fight of their lives when the movie arrives later this month. That’s right, fans. With the clock ticking down on the big game, the same can be said for the latest installment in the Kevin Williamson-created universe, with just weeks in between us and a new Scream movie. This time, the stakes are higher than ever, with Campbell returning to her role as Sidney Prescott and attempting to protect her family 30 years after the original Wes Craven-helmed feature slashed onto screens around the world.
The moment is monumental, with Williamson directing his first film in the series he created. He also holds writing credits alongside Guy Busick and James Vanderbilt, which is certainly a promising sign for fans. Williamson was the scribe behind both Scream and Scream 2 before taking a pause and returning for Scream 4, which would be the final movie of Craven’s career before his passing. After sitting out for the fifth and sixth installments, Williamson is back in all his glory with some brand-new ideas to bring to the universe, all while building on the lore and making Campbell’s final girl the center of the story.
The trailer takes things back to the beginning, with Ghostface tracking down Sidney (Campbell), where she and her family now live in a small town in Indiana. While Sidney is still in the line of fire, her daughter Tatum (Isabel May) has become their primary target. The trailer teases that, as we’ve come to expect from the slasher series, there will be plenty of brutal and bloody kills and numerous twists and turns — including the shock return of characters played by David Arquette, Matthew Lillard, and Scott Foley.
Meet the New Faces of ‘Scream 7’
Every Scream movie introduces a slew of new characters to the fold. After all, Ghostface needs plenty of new victims on the chopping block. Completing the lineup of legacy characters are Jasmin Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding, who reprise their roles as Mindy and Chad Meeks-Martin, respectively. In addition to May, newbies include Michelle Randolph, Mark Consuelos, Joel McHale, Anna Camp, Mckenna Grace, Asa Germann, Sam Rechner, Celeste O’Connor, and Jimmy Tatro.
Check out the fresh trailer for Scream 7 above and see it in cinemas on February 27.

Steven Spielberg’s First Sci-Fi Movie in 8 Years Gets a Stunning New Look at the Super Bowl
Steven Spielberg has achieved legendary status as a director, with his influence in the world of filmmaking spanning more than 50 years. He began his career in 1975 with what many would argue is still his most famous film, Jaws, which returned to theaters last year to celebrate its 50th anniversary. He’s also responsible for some other influential sci-fi hits over the years, including E.T., and he’s even one of the masterminds behind Harrison Ford’s legendary Indiana Jones franchise. Spielberg may be almost 80 years old, but that doesn’t mean he’s ready to stop delivering great movies to the public.
It was announced back in 2024 that Spielberg was working on a new sci-fi movie, but details about the project were being held under wraps at that time. Throughout 2024 and 2025, Spielberg meticulously assembled the film’s cast, including Emily Blunt, Colman Domingo, Wyatt Russell, and others. It wasn’t until the second half of 2025 that Universal Pictures officially announced the film’s title, Disclosure Day, and confirmed it would be released in theaters on June 12. Plot specifics are still scarce at this time, but marketing for the film is finally picking up.
Universal Pictures officially released a new trailer for Disclosure Day during the Super Bowl, and it’s racking up thousands of views by the minute. It’s still difficult to predict exactly what Disclosure Day is about, but trailers and promotional material for the film show off a plot that leans into humans learning about alien life for the first time. There are still a few months remaining before disclosure day, but intrigue for Spielberg’s next film is as high as it’s ever been.
Who Wrote the Script for ‘Disclosure Day’?
David Koepp, Steven Spielberg’s longtime collaborative partner, wrote the script for his new sci-fi thriller, Disclosure Day. Koepp and Spielberg worked together on the first Jurassic Park movie back in the 90s, and Koepp even returned to the franchise last year to write the script for the latest franchise installment starring Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali, Jurassic World: Rebirth. Spielberg was also credited as a producer on the film. Koepp also wrote the script for Pierce Brosnan’s latest spy thriller with Michael Fassbender, Black Bag, which was released in theaters at the start of 2025.
Check out the new trailer for Disclosure Day above, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the film.

Kid Rock Headlines Turning Point USA’s Rival Super Bowl Halftime Show
TPUSA Super Bowl Halftime Show
Kid Rock Goes Toe to Toe W/Bad Bunny In Rival Concert
Published
Turning Point USA
While Bad Bunny took one of the world’s biggest stages Sunday, rocking the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show from Levi’s Stadium, Kid Rock tried to outshine BB with his own concert for Turning Point USA.
As expected … KR brought the crowd to their feet, starting out strong with his 1999 hit “Bawitdaba.”
The crowd went absolutely insane for his trademark high energy, but it looked like the backup track did most of the heavy lifting.
Kid wrapped up his set with an emotional altar call, encouraging fans to give their lives to Jesus.
The concert was dedicated to Turning Point’s late founder, Charlie Kirk.
As you know … the NFL’s decision to platform BB was very controversial with Trump supporters who seemed to take issue with the Puerto Rican rapper’s stance against ICE’s aggressive tactics.
Seeing an opportunity, TPUSA announced an event called “The All American Halftime Show,” which was promoted as an alternative to the NFL’s programing.
At the time, the right-wing advocacy organization shared a questionnaire asking followers what genres of music they’d like to see featured. Options included, “Classic Rock,” “Country,” “Americana,” and “Anything in English.”
TPUSA later checked all those boxes when they tapped Trump supporter Kid Rock to headline with others, including country singers Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett, who were picked to join him.
With the SB being one of the biggest TV events every year and BB being the hottest artist on the planet right now, it was hard to imagine TPUSA could put up comparable ratings … and it doesn’t look like they did.
Viewership appeared to top out at under 6 million — a fraction of the 100 million viewers expected to have tuned in to the official SB Halftime Show.
But we’ll just have to wait until the numbers are in to tally the final score!

Katy Perry Tells Bad Bunny to Show the ‘American Dream’ at SB Halftime
Katy Perry is sending a message to Bad Bunny ahead of his Super Bowl LX Halftime Show performance.
“you got this @sanbenito remind the world what the real American dream looks like #SuperBowlLX,” Perry, 41, wrote via X on Sunday, February 8, alongside a football and heart emoji.
Perry’s post comes hours before Bad Bunny, 31, is set to perform while the New England Patriots take on the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Days before, Bad Bunny (real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) teased that his performance will be all-inclusive — despite previously joking that English speakers had “four months” to learn Spanish.
“They don’t even have to learn Spanish,” he said during the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show Press Conference on Thursday, February 5. “It’s better they learn to dance. There’s no better dance than the one that comes from the heart. That’s the only thing that they need to worry about.”
He added, “I just want people to have fun.”
During the press conference, Bad Bunny — who is from Puerto Rico, an unincorporated territory of the United States — became emotional as he discussed his mom, Lysaurie Ocasio.
“She believed in me, and I’m not talking about my music career,” Bad Bunny said. “I’m just talking about everything. She believed in me as a person, as a human. She believed in my decisions, in my opinions, in my taste, in my choices.”
He continued, “She believed I could be a good person. I think that it was got me here, you know?”
After news broke in September 2025 that Bad Bunny would be taking the stage at the Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show headliner, the decision has received mixed reactions from public figures, fans, politicians and even NFL players.
A survey released by The Athletic on Monday, February 2, stated that 41.4 percent of NFL players said they didn’t “like” Bad Bunny being chosen as the performer.
“I don’t even know who Bad Bunny is,” an anonymous offensive NFC player said. “I always think it should be an American. I think they’re trying too hard with this international stuff.”
A separate player, however, sang a different tune. “I’ve heard his music obviously, but I don’t speak Spanish so I’m not a big fan,” an NFC defensive player said. “But I do think it’s cool to have him, because America is based on diversity. America was built on immigration. So I feel like having him just furthers that American dream. I like it. I like the choice.”
Days before Sunday’s performance, Bad Bunny took home the Album of the Year award at the 2026 Grammy Awards for his Debí Tirar Más Fotos album.
“There is nothing that exists that we can’t accomplish. Thank God, thank you to the Academy, and thank you to all the people who have believed in me throughout my career,” he said in Spanish. “To all the people who worked on this album. Thank you, Mami, for giving birth to me in Puerto Rico. I love you!”
Bad Bunny also shared a message in English, before continuing in Spanish. “I want to dedicate this award to all the people who had to leave their homeland, their country, to follow their dreams,” he said.
“For all the people who have lost a loved one and even then have had to continue moving forward and continue with so much strength, this award is for you all. Thank you for so much love. I love you,” he concluded. “To all the Latinos in the entire world, and all the artists who came before and deserved to be on this stage picking up this award, thank you very much.”

Who Is Kaylee Hartung? Meet the 2026 Super Bowl Sideline Reporter
Broadcaster Kaylee Hartung is gearing up for her first-ever Super Bowl.
It was announced last month that Hartung would be making her sideline reporting debut during the 2026 Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Sunday, February 8, alongside Melissa Stark. The sportscaster is set to commentate on the game as the New England Patriots take on the Seattle Seahawks.
2026 marks the second Super Bowl in which NBC tapped two sideline reporters to assist with game coverage.
“It feels like such a cliche statement to say this is a dream come true. But it actually is,” Hartung told The New York Post ahead of the football game. “It’s wild that it’s the truth. It’s a dream that I’ve had for a while and it is surreal.”

Hartung admitted that saying she’s covering the Super Bowl is “a hard thing to say out loud” because it’s such a massive deal. She told the newspaper that she was “stocking up on sleep” ahead of her Super Bowl debut.
“I’m trying to enjoy being in the place that I pay rent right now, because those days feel few and far between,” Hartung said of her New York City apartment. “I moved into this apartment almost a year ago, right after the Super Bowl last year, and I still am missing pieces of furniture.”
Keep scrolling for everything to know about Hartung:
Who Is Kaylee Hartung?
Hartung made her debut as CBSNews.com reporter and correspondent. Eventually she got a gig as an assistant to journalist Bob Schieffer before nabbing an associate producer position on CBS’ Face the Nation.
She’s also held positions at ESPN, CNN and ABC News before being hired by Prime Video in July 2022 as their Thursday Night Football sideline reporter.
Where Is Kaylee Hartung From?
Hartung grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, before attending Washington and Lee University, where she graduated in 2007.

Will Kaylee Hartung Be at the 2026 Super Bowl?
Yes, the 2026 Super Bowl will be broadcast on NBC, making Hartung one of the evening’s sideline reporters.
Will Kaylee Hartung Be at the 2026 Olympics?
Following the 2026 Super Bowl, Hartung will head to Milan to cover the aerials and moguls freestyle skiing competition at the Winter Olympics.
“I’ve got to pack for a month on the road, two different climates and two different events,” she told The Post, noting that six suitcases and a duffle bag are what’s getting her through. “With the Olympics, it’s kind of easy. I’m working aerials and moguls events and I’ll be outside, so I’ll have to wear our NBC-issued Ralph Lauren Olympics gear.”
Hartung added, “I’ve got my puffer coat and all of my layers that are going to go underneath it — easy enough. That really does simplify everything with the weather. … For me, nothing matters more than functionality.”

Savannah Guthrie’s Sister’s Home Searched Amid Mom’s Disappearance
One week after Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, mysteriously went missing, law enforcement returned to one of her children’s homes to conduct a late-night search.
On Saturday, February 7, around 10:30 p.m., police were seen going in and out of Annie Guthrie and her husband Tomasso Cioni’s Arizona abode over the course of several hours, according to NewsNation’s Brian Entin. While it’s been reported an agent was spotted carrying a silver briefcase into the house, it is still unclear why investigators were conducting another search of the property or if they found any additional evidence related to Nancy’s potential whereabouts.
The home is one of the last places that Nancy, 84, was seen after having dinner with Annie and her husband on January 31. Her son-in-law allegedly drove her to her own house in Catalina Foothills just before 10 p.m. that night. The next day, she was reported missing after she failed to show up at church..
Her disappearance has since been treated as a crime investigation and a potential kidnapping. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos also exclusively told Us that it’s believed Nancy was taken while she was asleep.
“Something unusual at that house occurred that made us go, ‘Wow, something’s wrong here. Something doesn’t fit,’” he said on Monday, February 2. “We’re gonna pull all the stops and go at all angles. We really do hope it’s a search-and-rescue mission and we find her and she’s safe and sound. But it would be unjust if we didn’t look at what’s in front of us and go, ‘We need to act.’”
On Sunday, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department additionally confirmed the investigation into the 84-year-old’s shocking disappearance is ongoing with no major leads into who or why they may have taken her.

“Follow-up continues at multiple locations. No suspects, persons of interest, or vehicles have been identified,” a post shared to X read. “No scheduled press briefings. If any significant developments occur in the case, a press conference will be called.”
In the wake of Nancy’s disappearance, an alleged ransom note was sent to several media outlets. As Us previously reported, the person or people who supposedly took Nancy are allegedly demanding $6 million in bitcoin for her safe return, according to Tucson ABC affiliate KGUN9.
On Saturday night, Nancy’s children —Savannah, Camron and Annie — pleaded with her alleged abductor or abductors to let her go in a heartbreaking video shared to Instagram.
“We received your message and we understand. We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her,” Savannah said while holding her siblings’ hands. “This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us and we will pay.”
Their latest video message comes days after the Guthries publicly stated they were “ready to talk” with the alleged kidnappers and begged for proof their mother was okay.
“We live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated,” Savannah said at the time. “We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen. Please, reach out to us.”

Anya Taylor-Joy’s Peach Takes Center Stage in Explosive New ‘Super Mario Galaxy Movie’ Trailer
Animation has emerged in recent years as one of the leading drivers of box office success. Just last year, Zootopia 2 outperformed many live-action blockbusters on its way to grossing over $1.7 billion at the global box office. This comes after other animated hits like Ne Zha 2 had no problem smashing box office records, while major Marvel movies like Thunderbolts* failed to turn a profit. It’s clear that a new age in Hollywood is upon us, and with a plethora of animated hits coming down the line, the genre is only going to get more flush as time goes on.
One of the biggest box office hits to come out in the last few years was The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which stars Chris Pratt as Mario and Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach. On the backs of other stars, like Jack Black as Bowser, The Super Mario Bros. Movie grossed over $1.3 billion at the global box office, making it one of the most profitable movies ever. It was a no-brainer for Nintendo to greenlight a sequel, which is now scheduled to be released on April 1. Promotion for the film is now in full swing.
Nintendo released a new look at The Super Mario Galaxy Movie for the Super Bowl, with the film now less than two months away from its global premiere. It’s currently slated to be released on April 1, almost exactly three years removed from the debut of the original film. The new Mario movie will take the duo of plumber brothers on a wild new adventure, with Brie Larson and Benny Safdie joining the cast as Rosalina and Bowser Jr, not to mention the absolutely adorable Yoshi.
Chris Pratt Has a New Apple Movie Coming Soon
Earlier this week, Apple TV officially announced its next film with Chris Pratt, Way of the Warrior Kid, which co-stars Linda Cardellini. The film follows a Navy SEAL who returns home to stay with his sister, only to realize that her son/his nephew is being bullied. He takes it upon himself to teach him to stand up for himself. The film will be released on Apple TV on November 20 this year and will be directed by McG, with a script by Will Staples.
Check out the new trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie above and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the film.

Jordon Hudson Seemingly Trolls Robert Kraft’s Prostitution Bust Amid SB LX
Former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick’s girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, is seemingly trolling Patriots owner Robert Kraft ahead of Super Bowl LX.
According to pictures obtained by TMZ on Sunday, February 8, Hudson, 24, was seen wearing a T-shirt from Orchids of Asia Day Spa while appearing alongside her boyfriend, 73, on Saturday, February 7, in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
For the uninitiated, Orchids of Asia Day Spa is the Florida massage parlor associated with Kraft’s 2019 prostitution bust. In January of that year, Kraft was accused of paying for sex acts after a months-long investigation into the Jupiter, Florida, establishment. The NFL owner pleaded not guilty, though he issued a public apology for his actions.
“I am truly sorry,” Kraft said in a written statement at the time. “I know I have hurt and disappointed my family, my close friends, my co-workers, and our fans and many others who rightfully hold me to a higher standard.”
He continued at the time, “Throughout my life, I have always tried to do the right thing. The last thing I would ever want to do is disrespect another human being. I have extraordinary respect for women.”
While Kraft — along with 24 additional defendants — was offered a pretrial deal as part of a deferred prosecution program often offered to first-time offenders, the charges against Kraft were dropped in September 2020 after the prosecution lost a court decision that ruled key video and audio surveillance of Kraft allegedly soliciting a woman at the spa inadmissible.
“Although there was probable cause to make an arrest, the evidence cannot prove all legally required elements of the crime alleged and is insufficient to support a criminal prosecution,” a court filing by the office of Palm Beach State Attorney Dave Aronberg read at the time, per NBC News.

“Without these videos, we cannot move forward with our prosecutions and thus we are ethically compelled to drop the case against all the defendants,” Aronberg reiterated during a news conference.
While Belichick and Kraft won six Super Bowl Championships together during Belichick’s tenure with the team, they have seemingly had a tumultuous relationship since the former coach’s 2023 retirement.
“As I told Robert multiple times through the years, I took a big risk by taking the New England Patriots head coaching job,” Belichick told ESPN in July 2025 after the Patriots owner claimed he was the one who took a “big risk” in hiring Belichick after losing record with the Cleveland Browns.
“I already had an opportunity to be the Head Coach of the New York Jets, but the ownership situation as unstable,” Belichick continued at the time. “I had been warned by multiple previous Patriots’ coaches, as well as other members of other NFL organizations and the media, that the New England job was going to come with many internal obstacles. I made it clear that we would have to change the way the team was managed to regain the previously attained success.”
Hudson, who met Belichick in 2021 on a flight from Massachusetts to Florida, is known for standing behind and beside her boyfriend, who is 49 years her senior. After reports surfaced that Belichick would not be a first-ballot Hall of Fame inductee despite being arguably the best head coach in NFL history, Hudson clapped back via Instagram.
“Hey @profootballhof, what were the ‘unforeseen circumstances’?” the former college cheerleader captioned the post, along with a screenshot of an email notifying her of a canceled order from the Pro Football Hall of Fame online store.
