Thursday night, CBS announced that it is cancelling its flagship late night show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, after next season, in May, 2026. CBS says this is “purely a financial decision.” At the same time, The Late Show has the largest audience in American late night TV by a pretty wide margin. In any case, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end after its 11th season, the 34th overall for the larger Late Show franchise.
And: James Gunn’s Superman is the first movie produced by DC Studios, the first movie in the new DC Universe (the DCU, which replaces the DCEU — same universe, less extended!), and the first movie in its first chapter, Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.
