By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 17, 2016 7:00 am EST Judging from Peter Parker’s brief appearance in Captain America: Civil War, it seems like the Marvel Studios/Sony Pictures experiment is shaping up to be a success. Spider-Man: Homecoming just completed principal photography and won’t hit theaters until Summer 2017, but a sequel is reportedly already in the works. When Sony made a deal with Marvel Studios to bring Spider-Man to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that deal was only for one standalone movie and an early appearance in Civil War....

Because someone must be looking out for us for Mike Schur’s high-concept comedy The Good Place to be renewed for season 3. Starring Kristen Bell and Ted Danson, the wacky half-hour series is easily one of the best comedy shows on TV right now, tackling existential angst with a screwball sensibility — and it’s only upped its game in season 2 after the first season presented an eleventh-hour game-changing twist....
