In streaming news, The Sopranos is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a special collection available for streaming on Max. In addition to all 6 seasons, there are 15 deleted scenes, including three that have never been released, and over 5 hours of behind-the-scenes footage. There’s also a new official TikTok account – @TheSopranos – dedicated to 25-second clips of every episode. Also in streaming news, Marvel Studios has announced a new Black Panther series for Disney+ called Eyes of Wakanda. It’s expected to debut at some point this year, alongside fellow Marvel animated series X-Men ’97 and Spider-Man: Freshman Year. And while a third Black Panther film has yet to be confirmed, those working behind-the-scenes at the franchise have definitely hinted at it as a possibility. Netflix has confirmed that production is underway on Season 5 of Stranger Things. On its official X page, Netflix X posted a black and white photo of the returning cast, captioning it, “THIS IS A CODE RED. Stranger Things 5 production has officially begun!” Don’t expect new episodes any earlier than next year.

A$AP Rocky has pleaded not guilty to shooting a gun at his former friend A$AP Relli. Relli claims that back in November 2021, he and Rocky got into a fight, Rocky pulled a gun, fired some shots and Relli ended up getting grazed in the knuckles. Relli — aka Terell Ephron — filed a civil suit against him for assault, batter and emotional distress. Rocky’s lawyer says this is basically an extortion situation and is confident he can prove that. But on top of that, in November 2022 a judge ruled there’s enough evidence for Rocky to be tried, and yesterday he pleaded not guilty to two counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm and one count of personal use of a firearm. Rocky is due back in court for another hearing on March 6.

BREAKING: Tough talk from A$AP’s attorney. I asked him about a plea deal. “No. He will not entertain a plea deal.” So far, we’ve got no plea deal and a guarantee of vindication. Let me know what you think? #asaprocky #asaprockytrial pic.twitter.com/0XYfKQrdvz
