SPINNING AROUND

Not a hymn to Kylie’s finest hour, but the rise in sister TV shows. (BTW we would totally watch Meet The Minogues)

We’ve all experienced the emotional crevasse left in our lives when a favourite TV show comes to an end. (Hands up who’s still watching SATC reruns as part of their Sunday morning hangover repair kit?) Which is why we’re delighted that TV execs have declared ‘spin shows’ the next big thing. What are they? No prizes for guessing – they’re basically spinoffs of our favourite series. This September, The Big Bang Theory throws in a follow-up, Young Sheldon, HBO are currently working on not one, but FOUR Game Of Thrones offshoots, and a spin-off of Jude Law’s The Young Pope, called The New Pope, is in the pipeline with Sky and HBO. The dream?

An Orange Is The New Black spin show: Friday Night With Crazy Eyes.
