Nielsen Suggests 'Stranger Things 2' May Be Netflix's Greatest Success To Date

Even more intriguingly, at San Diego Comic-Con 2017 we learned that it's actually a time-travel show.

Forget Recasting Hugh Jackman: Fox Already Has a New Wolverine, and Her Name Is Dafne Keen
Only six months ago, X-Men fans said goodbye to a figure who'd become a living legend in the mutant community. Hugh Jackman finally bowed out as Wolverine, popping his claws for the last time in a brooding, atmospheric Western that was like no other superhero film we've seen before.

The first two episodes of Inhumans are now showing at IMAX cinemas worldwide, and the series launches on ABC on September 29th. Because of this unique approach, it's difficult to tell how well Inhumans is actually faring at the box office so far (as I've discussed in an earlier post, we can't really do any like-for-like comparisons). But what may surprise fans is that the show is already likely to return for a second series.
