By making Big Tech the hero in a movie about government surveillance, the dismally rated remake feels more like an ad for Amazon than anything else.

Today Netflix announced a new adult animated comedy series, Strip Law from Cullen Crawford (Star Trek: Lower Decks, Farzar, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert), Underground and Titmouse Inc. The 10-episode series set in Las Vegas will be released on Netflix on February 20, 2026.

The project’s voice cast is led by Adam Scott (Severance), Janelle James (Abbott Elementary), Stephen Root (Barry, King of the Hill), Shannon Gisela (M.I.A., Chasers) and Keith David (Greenleaf, Krapopolis).

Logline: Uptight lawyer Lincoln Gumb is too boring to win cases in Vegas until he teams up with local magician/hedonist Sheila Flambé to bring some flash and pizzazz to the stupidest cases the city can throw at them.

Summer camp is a staple of both the Peanuts comic-strip and long-running animated specials. This month, Apple TV+ viewers get a new, musical take on this subject when Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical makes its debut on the streamer.

The half-hour special, which features music by Emmy-nominated composer Jeff Morrow and popular singer-songwriter and composer Ben Folds, centers on first-time camper Sally Brown, who is nervous about being at a new and unknown place. The rest of the Peanuts gang also discover that their favorite summer camp is shutting down and join forces to save it. Meanwhile, Snoopy and Woodstock set off on an adventure of their own when they come across a treasure map!

Launching September 19, the 10 x 30′, 2D-animated series hails from Rick and Morty story editor Matt Roller (Community, Krapopolis) and is animated by Emmy-winning studio Titmouse.

Logline: A single mother of two struggles to run a haunted hotel with the help of her estranged brother, who is now one of the ghosts haunting the hotel and thinks the other ghosts have some pretty good ideas.

The voice cast features Will Forte as Nathan, Eliza Coupe as Katherine, Skyler Gisondo as Ben, Natalie Palamides as Esther and Jimmi Simpson as Abaddon.

Roller is series creator and also serves as executive producer alongside Chris McKenna, Dan Harmon (Rick and Morty) and Steve Levy. Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio and Ben Kalina are exec producers for Titmouse. Erica Hayes (Rick and Morty) is the show’s supervising director.

Disney+ is no longer feeling Goosebumps. The streamer has canceled its Goosebumps series, based on the enduringly popular books by R.L. Stine, after two seasons. The most recent season, subtitled The Vanishing, premiered in January.

Sony Pictures TV, which owns the rights to Stine’s books and produced the series, will shop Goosebumps to other outlets and also look for other creative directions for the property.

Adam DeVine, Idris Elba and Kathryn Hahn are among the voice cast for the comedy about a pet dog who enlists his canine friends for one last wild evening before he's taken to get neutered.
