I’m keeping an eye on “Paradise Lost,” one of the many DC Universe shows in the works. It was first announced way back in January 2023, but honestly, we haven’t heard much about it since. As of right now, there’s no word on when we can actually expect to see it air.
Since returning in season 2 of The Pitt, Langdon has consistently been genuine and easy to get along with.
