Gaiman has continually denied the allegations, releasing on Jan. 14 which reads, in part:
'As I read through this latest collection of accounts, there are moments I half-recognise and moments I don't, descriptions of things that happened sitting beside things that emphatically did not happen. I'm far from a perfect person, but I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone. Ever.'

Is Supacell season 2 releasing in June 2025? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 13, 2025, 18:30 IST Last updated June 13, 2025, 12:20 IST Netflix's British superhero series Supacell took the streaming world by storm with its fresh take on the superhero genre, blending gritty South London vibes with sci-fi thrills. After its critically acclaimed first season, which earned a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, fans are eagerly awaiting news about Supacell Season 2. One question is on everyone's mind: Is Supacell Season 2 releasing in June 2025? Here's everything we know so far about the upcoming season. Is Supacell Season 2 releasing in June 2025? Good news for fans: Supacell Season 2 is officially happening! Netflix confirmed the renewal on August 13, 2024, following the massive success of Season 1, which garnered 33.4 million views globally and spent six weeks in Netflix's Top 10 English-language series. Showrunner Rapman (Andrew Onwubolu) has teased that Season 2 will be a game-changer, likening Season 1 to Batman Begins and Season 2 to The Dark Knight for its darker, more intense narrative. However, despite some speculation, Supacell Season 2 is not confirmed to release in June 2025. While one source suggested a potential June 26, 2025, premiere, recent production updates indicate otherwise. Filming, originally slated for early 2025, has been delayed to October 2025, pushing the expected release to late 2026 or possibly 2027. Supacell Season 2 Plot: What to Expect Supacell Season 1 followed five Black South Londoners—Michael, Sabrina, Andre, Rodney, and Tazer—who unexpectedly develop superpowers linked to sickle cell disease. The season ended on a heartbreaking cliffhanger, with Michael (Tosin Cole) vowing revenge after failing to save his fiancée, Dionne, from a tragic death. A post-credits scene revealed Victoria (Sian Brooke) as the true leader of The Organization, a shadowy group hunting superpowered individuals, setting up a major conflict for Season 2. Rapman has teased that Season 2 will dive deeper into the consequences of the characters' powers and explore darker themes. Michael's quest for vengeance will likely drive the narrative, as he travels to the future to uncover answers about The Organization. Expect new challenges, potential new 'supes,' and a focus on the group uniting to confront Victoria's ruthless agenda. Rapman has also hinted at a three-season arc, suggesting Season 2 will escalate the stakes significantly. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

Tencent explores acquisition of Nexon to strengthen gaming portfolio
Tencent Holdings is reportedly exploring a potential acquisition of Nexon to bolster its gaming operations. The Chinese company has initiated discussions with the family of Nexon's late founder, Kim Jung-ju, regarding a possible deal, reported Bloomberg. Nexon, established in South Korea in 1994 and listed in Japan in 2011, is known for popular role-playing games such as MapleStory. Tencent and Nexon have previously collaborated on projects, including the co-development of Dungeon & Fighter, which has been a major source of revenue. The Kim family holds their stake in Nexon through NXC, which owned 44.4% of Nexon as of 30 June, according to Nexon's interim report. Kim's wife and daughters control approximately 67.6% of NXC. While the family is consulting advisers to evaluate their options, it remains unclear how open they are to selling their Nexon stake, and there is no guarantee that Tencent's discussions will lead to a transaction, the report said. This move follows Tencent's previous attempt to acquire Nexon in 2019 and coincides with other investments in South Korean assets. In late May 2025, a Tencent subsidiary agreed to purchase a nearly 10% stake in Seoul-based music producer SM Entertainment, aligning with the easing of an unofficial ban on K-pop in mainland China. In March, Tencent also committed €1.16bn ($1.3bn) for a 25% stake in a new Ubisoft unit holding intellectual property rights, including those for Assassin's Creed. In 2024, Tencent cancelled its mobile game based on Square Enix's Nier franchise after two years of development, citing monetisation challenges amid high costs and franchise rights issues.
