Ninja ditches Twitch for exclusive streaming deal with Mixer - PC Gamer

Possibly overshadowing today's release of Fortnite Season 10, Tyler 'Ninja' Blevins announced that he's leaving Twitch to stream exclusively with Mixer, effective immediately. The announcement was made via a faux press conference on Ninja's Twitter, which you can watch below. 

We don't know the terms of the agreement—the length, payment, or whether Ninja will face any restrictions on Microsoft's streaming platform, but Ninja assures the fictional press conference crowd that, "It's the same me, just a different platform."

Still, it's a huge, surprising change. Ninja has arguably been the face not only of Twitch, but videogame streaming overall since his explosive rise to fame in parallel with Fortnite's. It's also an affirmation that Microsoft isn't backing down from Amazon's Twitch, despite its deeper roots as the de facto streaming platform. 

According to a press release, Ninja won't just be another Mixer streamer either. He'll be attending game events throughout the year in support of Mixer, effectively working as the face of the company too. 

This is a huge effort by Microsoft to capitalize on Ninja's renown. Whether it will stick remains to be seen, but I'm happy to watch two corporations clash from my couch. If you want to take sides or test the Mixer waters, you can subscribe to his channel for free for a limited time. 

Assuming money was exchanged, we have to imagine Ninja didn't come cheap. He was earning $500,000 a month in March of 2018, but his Twitch subscriber base has dropped off significantly since then, according to Twitch Tracker. Even so, an exclusivity deal would likely need to guarantee his current Twitch income, which isn't tiny, over an indeterminate amount of time. Guaranteed income over the volatility a Twitch subscriber base sounds like a decent deal. 

We'll likely find out more about the transition when Ninja kicks off his first Mixer stream live at Lollapalooza tomorrow. 

Update: And just like that, Ninja's Twitch account lost its verified status. That was fast.

'13 Reasons Why' Season 3 Trailer: A New Crime Unfolds at Liberty High - /FILM

13 Reasons Why Season 3 Trailer

There have been a lot of bad things happening at Liberty High, and in the third season of Netflix’s series 13 Reasons Why, it’s only going to get worse. This time a new crime has unfolded, resulting in the disappearance of a football player, and since Clay (Dylan Minnette) was working to expose the corrupted culture of the high school and its favor of wealthy jocks over the average student, he’s on the police’s radar. But in the 13 Reasons Why season 3 trailer, it’s clear he’s not the only one under scrutiny, and plenty of dark secrets have the potential to be revealed.

13 Reasons Why Season 3 Trailer

There’s no actual footage from the new season in this trailer, but it’s a stylish walkthrough the various characters we’ve encountered across the previous two seasons, weaving in and out of miniature scenes all connected to each other. It’s all rather ominous, and it only raises the tension that already exists at Liberty High.

The rest of the show’s cast includes Brandon Flynn as Justin Foley, Justin Prentice as Bryce Walker, Alisha Boe as Jessica Davis, Christian Navarro as Tony Padilla, Miles Heizer as Alex Standall, Devin Druid as Tyler Down, Ross Butler as Zach Dempsey, Timothy Granaderos as Montgomery de la Cruz, Anne Winters as Chloe, Steven Weber as Principle Bowen, Brenda Strong as Mrs. Walker, Amy Hargreaves as Mrs. Jensen and newcomer Grace Saif as Ani.

The new season of 13 Reasons Why comes to Netflix on August 23, 2019. Here’s the official synopsis:

Eight months after preventing Tyler from committing an unthinkable act at Spring Fling, Clay, Tony, Jessica, Alex, Justin, and Zach find ways to shoulder the burden of the cover-up together while helping Tyler move toward recovery. But when the aftermath of a tumultuous Homecoming game culminates in the disappearance of a football player, and Clay finds himself under police scrutiny, it’s up to a shrewd outsider to steer the group through an investigation that threatens to lay bare everyone’s deepest secrets. The stakes are raised in this riveting third season of 13 Reasons Why, as the consequences of even the most well-intended actions can alter a life forever.

'13 Reasons Why' Ending, Cancelled in Season 4; Bryce Dies, Killed - TVLine

Netflix has renewed controversial teen drama 13 Reasons Why for a fourth and final season, Deadline reports.

In addition, the streamer has announced that Season 3 will premiere on Friday, Aug. 23. The official logline below fails to mention the big death at the center of the third season, but the above trailer spoils it outright.

Earlier this month, Netflix chose to remove a graphic Season 1 sequence that depicted Katherine Langford’s Hannah taking her own life. The decision to alter the scene came in the wake of a new study that drew a connection between a spike in teen suicide and the popularity of the teen drama.

TVLine’s handy Streaming Renewal Scorecard has been updated to reflect 13 Reasons‘ final season pickup. An episode count and timetable for Season 4’s release have not yet been disclosed.

Netflix Officially Ending 13 Reasons Why - Comicbook.com

After a highly-streamed, yet controversial life on Netflix, teen drama 13 Reasons Why is officially coming to an end. The streaming giant has renewed the series for a fourth and final season ahead of its Season 3 premiere later this month.

Netflix announced early Thursday morning that the third season of 13 Reasons Why would be released on August 23rd. Shortly after, The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that an early fourth season renewal had been handed out by Netflix, but that it would mark the final season of the series.

The fourth season of 13 Reasons Why is already in production, though no release date or episode count has been revealed at this time. The story of the final season is reportedly centered around the high school graduation of the core cast of characters.

There has been no shortage of backlash for 13 Reasons Why over the past couple of years, which isn't surprising given its subject matter. The entire series is centered around a teenage girl who takes her own life and leaves behind a series of audio messages for all of the people who had an affect on her decision.

Earlier this summer, Netflix went back and edited out the controversial scene in the Season 1 finale that depicted Hannah's suicide, essentially removing the graphic scene entirely.

Here's Netflix's official synopsis for 13 Reasons Why Season 3:

Eight months after preventing Tyler from committing an unthinkable act at Spring Fling, Clay, Tony, Jessica, Alex, Justin, and Zach find ways to shoulder the burden of the cover-up together while helping Tyler move toward recovery. But when the aftermath of a tumultuous Homecoming game culminates in the disappearance of a football player, and Clay finds himself under police scrutiny, it’s up to a shrewd outsider to steer the group through an investigation that threatens to lay bare everyone’s deepest secrets. The stakes are raised in this riveting third season of 13 Reasons Why, as the consequences of even the most well-intended actions can alter a life forever.

The third season of 13 Reasons Why will debut on August 23rd and the first two seasons are currently streaming on Netflix.

Hal Prince, Giant of Broadway and Tony Award Collector, Dies at 91 - The New York Times

Hal Prince, the Broadway royal and prodigious Tony winner, the producer or director (or both) of many of the theater’s most enduring musicals, including “Damn Yankees,” “West Side Story,” “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Cabaret,” “Sweeney Todd” and “The Phantom of the Opera,” the longest-running show in Broadway history, died on Wednesday in Reykjavik, Iceland. He was 91.

The death was confirmed by a spokesman.

Mr. Prince began working in the theater in the halcyon days of Broadway, when Cole Porter and Rodgers and Hammerstein were its songwriting kings, the stage musical was a robust American art form (not to mention an affordable entertainment option) and theater songs were staples of the airwaves.

His contributions were prolific and persisted through challenging eras — when rock ‘n’ roll threatened to make show music irrelevant, when the decline of Times Square discouraged Broadway attendance, when the arrival of popular British musicals like “Phantom” pushed aside their American counterparts and when corporations like Disney entered the Broadway sweepstakes and miniaturized the impact of the independent producer.

Mr. Prince’s singularly significant role in shaping the Broadway musical during the second half of the 20th century was acknowledged by the Tony award for lifetime achievement he received in 2006.

That was his 21st Tony, a number far surpassing that of anyone else in multiple categories. The count began with the 1955 best musical, “The Pajama Game,” which Mr. Prince co-produced with Frederick Brisson and Robert E. Griffith. The total reached 20 in 1995 for his direction of an extravagant revival of “Show Boat,” the landmark 1927 musical by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein 2d from Edna Ferber’s novel about life on a Mississippi steamship.

Often considered the foundation of the modern musical for its character development and melding of score and story, “Show Boat” was a fitting valedictory – though not quite his final show — for a man who helped expand the possibilities of narrative in the musical theater form.

Notable Deaths 2018: Stage and Screen

A memorial to those who lost their lives in 2018

Mr. Prince was known, especially in the first decades of his theater life, as a fiendish workaholic; at one point in 1960, three shows that he produced were appearing on Broadway at the same time.

And he was known, throughout his career, for his collaborations with a murderer’s row of creative talents, among them the choreographers Bob Fosse, Jerome Robbins, Michael Bennett and Susan Stroman, the designers Eugene Lee, Patricia Zipprodt and Florence Klotz, and the composers Leonard Bernstein, John Kander, Stephen Sondheim, who was his most frequent confederate, and Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Mr. Lloyd Webber, was, with their work together on “Evita” about the opportunistic Argentine populist Eva Peron, and on “The Phantom of the Opera,” which Mr. Prince directed in London and on Broadway, his most profit-generating collaborator.

A complete version of this obituary will appear shortly.
