Roundups #93: Moley To Hit Screens Across China, Floribama Shore Has Been Cancelled By MTV After 4 Seasons And The Nun 2 To Be Released In Theatres By 2023

Moley is getting some love

Global kids and family content distributor, Jetpack Distribution, announces it has closed a sub-distribution deal with Chinese distributor Jetsen Huashi, to bring the hit animated series Moley to screens across The Mainland People’s Republic of China.

Jetsen Huashi has acquired the linear, digital and video-on-demand (VOD) rights to distribute the animated series Moley, to all the main TV and digital platforms across China. It will be broadcast in Chinese Mandarin and English languages.

Jetpack has also inked a deal with Polish public service broadcaster TVP, who have taken the rights to the series and the 30 minute special Master Moley: By Royal Invitation.

MTV cancels yet another show

The Floribama Shore is closed for the foreseeable future: MTV has decided not to move forward with a fifth season of the reality series, at least for now, according to sources, who adds that “the future of the series is being evaluated” by the network.

An offshoot of MTV’s reality juggernaut Jersey Shore, Floribama Shore debuted in 2017 and followed eight friends who live together in a summer house on the Florida Panhandle. The action moved to St. Pete Beach, Florida in Season 3, and then to Montana and Lake Havasu for Season 4, which wrapped up in December. Jersey Shore mastermind SallyAnn Salsano served as executive producer. All eight core cast members remained with the show for all four seasons, except for Kortni Gilson, who left after Season 3.

MTV has rolled out a new series in the Shore franchise, though, debuting Buckhead Shore in June, with a new cast of friends partying it up in a lake house in coastal Georgia. Meanwhile, the original Jersey Shore cast is still fist-pumping on the sequel series Family Vacation, which returned with new episodes in June as well.

The Nun sequel gets a release date

Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema will conjure The Nun 2 in 2023. Set within The Conjuring universe and produced by James Wan and Peter Safran, 2018's The Nun saw novice nun Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) confront a malevolent force in the form of a demonic nun: Valak (Bonnie Aarons). The supernatural villain — who is condemned to Hell two decades later by clairvoyant paranormal investigator Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga) in the Wan-directed The Conjuring 2 — will now return on September 8, 2023, as Warner Bros. shuffles its 2022 and 2023 release calendar.

The media first reported the news Wednesday that The Nun 2 will open over Labor Day weekend 2023, the same year New Line horrors Evil Dead Rise and Stephen King's Salem's Lot will release in theaters. Those dates come as DC's Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, directed by Wan, and Shazam! Fury of the Gods move later into next year.

Michael Chaves, who directed the Conjuring spinoff The Curse of La Llorona and last year's The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, is taking over from The Nun director Corin Hardy on the sequel. Akela Cooper, writer of Wan's Malignant, is penning the sequel from the Aquaman team of Wan and Safran.
