    I think they are remaking the movies or there is a show being produced now, I vaguely recall hearing something along those lines.

    Okay. I've been avoiding it like a plague. I unsubbed or blocked any entertainment content creators who said they were going to cover it.

    Like others have said, you can't separate the art from the artist when consuming their art supports the artist's nefarious activities.

    Everyone has been avoiding it. Right leaning want nothing to do with the revisionist crap it is going to pull and Left leaning see JK/the story as opposition to one of their standpoints.

    It is meant to fail.
