AMC announced that the long-running zombie drama "The Walking Dead" will end following an expanded 11th season. The story will continue in two new spin-off series: a weekly anthology called "Tales of the Walking Dead," and a sequel centered on the characters of Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride).

More:

• The conclusion of Season 10 of "The Walking Dead" was delayed by the pandemic, and will now debut on October 4.
• Another "Walking Dead" spin-off -- "World Beyond" -- will also air on AMC on October 4.
• The original "Walking Dead" spin-off series -- "Fear the Walking Dead" -- will return for a sixth season the following week.
• Season 11 of "The Walking Dead" will feature 24 episodes, and will conclude in late 2022.

18-year Netflix veteran Cindy Holland will depart the company. In her place, the current head of Netflix's local-language productions, Bela Bajaria, will assume the new role of VP, Global Television.

More:

• The move was part of an overall attempt by newly-appointed co-CEO Ted Sarandos to streamline the company's TV department.
• Holland joined the company when it was still a startup focused on sending DVDs to subscribers through the mail, and was instrumental in ushering scripted series such as "House of Cards" and "Orange is the New Black" on to the platform.
• Bajaria joined Netflix in 2016 after a stint as president of Universal TV, where she helped develop the series "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine."

Peacock ordered two seasons of the dramatic "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" reboot, based on a fan film by online creator Morgan Cooper. Former "Fresh Prince" star Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, will produce the new series through their Westbrook Studios banner, alongside Universal Television.

More:

• Will Smith announced the deal in a YouTube video, in which he breaks the good news to Cooper and co-writer Chris Collins.
• The project was pitched to multiple streaming platforms, resulting in an apparent bidding war between Netflix and Peacock, according to Deadline.
• Cooper co-wrote the series, and will also direct and co-executive produce, along with Collins.
• The project is based on a short film shot by Cooper and released in March 2019.

Pitched somewhere between a social commentary, a political thriller, and a descent into madness, director Jan Komasa's Polish-language film "The Hater" resembles in some ways our worst fears about 2019's "Joker." Here's a movie that genuinely attempts to psychologically profile and even humanize an internet troll, looking at a generation of angry incels and lone-wolf gunmen in the hopes of gaining some kind of understanding. By untangling the drives and motivations of online "haters," the movie seems to ask, can we somehow make sense of that rage, to channel it into something more productive, or even disarm it entirely? The film provides no easy answers, but in fairness, these are extremely difficult questions. It's noble, in some ways, to even make the attempt, and daring to do it entirely from the perspective of the online troll at the movie's center.

Maciej Musialowski stars as Tomasz, a poor kid who has managed to attend law school thanks to the benevolence of a wealthy and prominent Warsaw family, the Krasuckas. He's secretly in love with the daughter, Gabby (Vanessa Aleksander), but when he's kicked out of law school for plagiarism, she betrays his confidence to her parents, sending Tomasz on a downward spiral. Soon, he's discovering a talent for spreading gossip and rumors online, visiting his rage toward Gabby and her parents on strangers. Before long, he finds a job doing this for a shady PR firm, and before much longer, he begins applying his considerable talents for stirring up trouble to local Warsaw politics. (The story of a violent loner who becomes unhealthily fixated on a politician can't help but recall Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver," but thankfully, Komasa doesn't overplay the connection, and gives his film an aesthetic and energy all its own.)

CBS released a trailer for the third season of "Star Trek: Discovery," which is set in the distant future of the "Star Trek" franchise timeline. The new season takes place around the 33rd century, about a millennia after the events of the original series.

More:

• The first season of "Discovery" was set a few years prior to the events of the original series, just before Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock took over the helm of the U.S.S. enterprise.
• The "Discovery" crew was pinged forward into the future following the events of Season 2.
• Season 3 of "Star Trek: Discovery" will debut on CBS All Access on October 15.

According to Variety, WarnerMedia may introduce an ad-supported version of HBO Max. The platform would apparently feature just two to four minutes of advertising per hour, considerably fewer than either Peacock or Hulu's free offerings.

More:

• Ads would appear on HBO Max original programming, content from other WarnerMedia networks, and classic films, but not on HBO shows.
• The report was based on a marketing survey sent out to consumers last week.
• Due to existing deals with cable and satellite operators, some shows would need to be streamed commercial-free for specific windows of time.

TikTok is attempting to remove all copies of a viral video that appears to depict a death by suicide. The scene was originally live-streamed on Facebook in late August, but copies have spread to other video platforms.

More:

• TikTok is using automated tools as well as human moderators to track and eliminate the video from the platform.
• The video violates TikTok's policy against content that "displays, praises, glorifies, or promotes suicide."
• Facebook also removed the video from its platform using automation technology.
• Unlike personalized platforms such as Twitter or Facebook, TikTok's "For You Page" feeds users viral content from around the platform, making popular videos even easier to find and spread.
• Users have begun sharing screenshots to warn others about the clip, which opens with a bearded man in glasses seated at a desk.

According to TV Line, the sixth and final season of Netflix's "Lucifer" will contain just 10 episodes. The series will close out after 93 total episodes.
