During Gamescom 2018, the Lego Group teased that an announcement concerning a collaboration between Overwatch and Lego is coming soon. The teaser depicted the outlines of six Lego figures, each stylized after one of Overwatch’s heroes.

From left to right, the six figures appear to be Widowmaker, Reinhardt, Genji, Soldier: 76, Mercy, and McCree. Neither the Lego Group or Blizzard would comment further on what the two companies’ collaboration might entail, but Blizzard did promise to announce new Overwatch content at Gamescom on Wednesday, August 22. So we might be finding out pretty soon.

This isn’t Overwatch first partnership with a toy company. Earlier this year, Hasbro announced that the company “signed a licensing agreement with Blizzard Entertainment to become the global master toy licensee for the Overwatch franchise.”

Blizzard’s opening statements are at 10:30 AM GMT+2 / 9:30 AM BST / 4:30 AM ET on Gamescom’s main stage, but the Overwatch presentation won’t be until 11:30 AM GMT+2 / 10:30 AM BST / 5:30 AM ET. Other than Overwatch, Blizzard has panels and presentations planned for Heroes of the Storm, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, World of Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo.

You can easily keep track of the company’s full schedule via the “Blizzard at Gamescom 2018” app, but we’ve also outlined it below. Times are listed in GMT+2.

One of the best new shows on Netflix last year was The End of the F**king World, a very dark comedy about involving troubled teenagers who go on the run after things go very badly at home, has been renewed for a second season. The first season had eight episodes, which were written in part by Charlie Covell based on the comic series b y Charles Forsman.

Season 1 ended in dramatic, ambiguous fashion that many watchers believed was a satisfying conclusion. It felt like a show that did not need a Season 2. But it’s getting one.

The Season 2 announcement trailer references the end of Season 1, so maybe don’t click the video below if you don’t want to be spoiled. There is no word yet on when Season 2 will premiere, but it’ll be available on Netflix around the world except in the UK. It will premiere on Channel 4 in the UK.

The End of the F**king World Season 1 starred Alex Lawther (Black Mirror) and Jessica Barden (Penny Dreadful) as the teenagers, James and Alyssa, at the center of the story, though there is no word on if Season 2 will bring them back or what other new characters might get introduced.

Covell told Collider, before the renewal order, that a potential Season 2 would “have to” focus on James and Alyssa. “I just love the world of them out there on the road, doing something in a weird world. So for me, any story that we expand keeps them out there somewhere,” he said.

The End of the F**king World Season 1 also starred Wunmi Mosaku (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) and Gemma Whelan (Game of Thrones).
