As video games continue to mature as a narrative form, the medium has allowed a growing number of developers to explore issues that wouldn't typically be confronted in a game, whether it be the plight of refugees trying to cross a border as in Papers, Please, or the pain of losing a loved one to an incurable illness as in That Dragon, Cancer. Jupiter & Mars, a new PSVR-compatible game coming to PS4 later this year, tackles the growing issues of climate change and mankind's impact on the environment, and it wraps its message up in a beautiful and surreal undersea adventure that calls to mind Sega's classic Ecco the Dolphin series.
Jupiter & Mars is the debut effort of Tigertron, an independent studio founded by former game journalists James Mielke and Sam Kennedy. According to Mielke, the idea for the game first began to germinate after the release of The Cove, a 2009 documentary about dolphin hunting. Mielke was working at Q Entertainment (Lumines, Child of Eden) at the time and was deeply affected by the film. "I started to think, could I be doing something better with my time rather than just making another game for another console cycle?" he said. Rather than embark on a new career path, he decided to use his years of experience developing games as a way to raise awareness of ecological issues, enlisting his longtime colleague to help bring his idea to life.
Much like Ecco the Dolphin, Jupiter & Mars is an underwater adventure game set in the distant future, after humanity has disappeared. The planet is slowly recuperating after being ravaged by the effects of climate change; major coastal cities have been submerged by the rising sea levels, and neon-colored fish and coral reefs have begun to gradually repopulate the sunken steel and cement ruins left in man's wake. Despite the Earth's steady recovery, mankind's impact can still be felt in the traces of technology that linger on the ocean floor, particularly the "space stations"--mysterious bases that continue to disrupt the environment even in their semi-powered state.
While Tigertron's message is clear even from this brief synopsis, Jupiter & Mars doesn't lecture players; rather, the game conveys these issues subtly through its world and gameplay. "We're not trying to preach, we're not trying to be heavy-handed and tell you, 'You're such a bad person for using plastic and wearing leather Nikes,'" Mielke said. "What we want to do is, we want to present a really compelling world. Our goal is to get people to think, like, 'Well, could this really happen?' And if they become curious enough to investigate for themselves what the reality is, then for us that's mission accomplished."
The game casts players in the role of the eponymous Jupiter and Mars, two highly evolved dolphins with special abilities. The pair are entreated by an ancient race of whales known as the Elders to find and shut the remaining space stations down, and their ensuing journey takes them through five diverse and visually stunning biomes, from crystalline tropics to murky ocean depths and even the submerged remains of London. To shut the space stations down, however, the dolphins will first need to figure out how to slip past the AHDs--acoustic harassment devices--that surround each base and emit audio pulses that deter marine life.
Both Jupiter and Mars have their own innate abilities that players will need to utilize to navigate the ocean. Jupiter, who players control directly from a first-person perspective, is able to emit pulses of echolocation to illuminate her surroundings and interact with other marine life; Mars, your constant AI companion on the journey, can ram into objects on command to break through crumbling gates and open new passageways. In the same vein of a Metroid game, the dolphins will also need to acquire power-ups to gain access to new areas of the world; the Aqualung ability, for instance, allows Jupiter and Mars to dive much deeper below the surface than they typically could, while the Tail Kick power lets them swim against strong currents that would normally be impassable.
While the overarching goal of the adventure is to neutralize the space station located in each biome, Jupiter & Mars also features lots of light environmental puzzle solving and other kinds of moment-to-moment gameplay. Throughout the journey, you'll encounter various sea life in need of assistance; early on in the game, a mother turtle asks you to rescue her babies, who are scattered about the area and tangled in plastic. You'll need to use echolocation to track down the turtles and free them, thereby opening up a pathway to a new location. During the course of your adventure, you'll also come across collectibles in the form of trinkets and other remnants of human society. These are hidden around the environment and tucked away in clam shells that Mars can crack open, encouraging you to poke around and explore each locale.
Jupiter & Mars doesn't yet have a release date, but the game is slated to release for PS4 in late 2018. While the title is compatible with PSVR, the headset isn't required to play it. For an even closer look at the game, you can watch us play 13 minutes of it in the video above. The footage is taken from an early build and may not necessarily be reflective of the final version.

The Ultra Bonus Event is now underway in Pokemon Go, bringing an influx of Gen I Pokemon with it. For a limited time, Pokemon originally found in the Kanto region will appear much more frequently in the wild. That isn't all, however; the three Legendary birds Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres have all also returned to the game, but for only a few days.
From now until September 20, you'll have another chance to fight the three Legendary birds in Raid Battles. While the three are available, the duration of Raid Battles has been extended to 90 minutes, giving you some extra time to battle and catch them. Niantic also says you'll have a chance of running into Shiny versions of each Legendary.
On top of that, you'll now be able to get your hands on some previously region-exclusive Pokemon. Until September 30, you'll have a chance of hatching Farfetch'd, Kangaskhan, Mr. Mime, and Tauros from 7 km Eggs. Each of the aforementioned Pokemon is typically only available in a certain part of the world, making this many players' first opportunity to add them to their collections.
On the same day Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres leave Raid Battles, another Gen I Legendary, Mewtwo, will take their place beginning at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET. This isn't the Psychic-type's first appearance in Pokemon Go, but it has up until now only been available through the invite-only EX Raids. This marks the first time Mewtwo will be available in regular Raid Battles, making it much easier to finally capture one. It will appear in Raid Battles until October 23.
While not part of the Ultra Bonus Event, players still have only a few more days to capture a different Legendary Pokemon, Regirock, which is also scheduled to leave the game on September 20. Pokemon Go's next Community Day event will take place not long afterward, on Saturday, September 22. This time, the featured Pokemon will be Chikorita, one of the three starters from Pokemon Gold and Silver.
We are just hours away from another WWE PPV. Hell in a Cell is coming to PPV and the WWE Network later today at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET / 12 AM BST (Sept. 17). The show is taking place at the AT&T Center in Dallas, Texas. There will be a Kickoff Show airing one hour prior that will have a match on it as well. As of this writing, there are eight matches booked for the card, but it doesn't seem like any more will be getting added.
On the Raw side of things, the Shield will have their hands full in two matches, one for the Tag Team Championships and one for the Universal Championship. Additionally, Alexa Bliss gets her rematch with Ronda Rousey. On Smackdown, Becky Lynch gets her shot at the Women's Championship against Charlotte, and Jeff Hardy will face Randy Orton in a Hell in a Cell match.
Obviously, we have a few opinions on what we think is going to happen during the evening as well. Check out all of our predictions for Hell in a Cell, which we will continue to update should new matches or new stipulations get added to the card.
Hell in a Cell match card so far:
The New Day (c) vs. Rusev & Aiden English (Smackdown Tag Team Championship) [KICKOFF SHOW]
Jeff Hardy vs. Randy Orton (Hell in a Cell match)
Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntrye (c) vs. Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose (Raw Tag Team Championships)
Daniel Bryan & Brie Bella vs. The Miz & Maryse
Charlotte (c) vs. Becky Lynch (Smackdown Women's Championship)
Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Alexa Bliss (Raw Women's Championship)
AJ Styles (c) vs. Samoa Joe (WWE Championship)
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Braun Strowman (Hell in a Call match for the Universal Championship with Mick Foley as guest referee)
Make sure to come back to GameSpot for live coverage of the event.
The New Day (c) vs. Rusev & Aiden English (Smackdown Tag Team Championship)
[KICKOFF SHOW]
The New Day just recently won the tag titles from the Bludgeon Brothers at Summerslam. However, they'll have to face Aiden English and Rusev, who have been extremely over during the past six months, at Hell in a Cell. This could go either way, as the New Day continues to be the tent-pole of Smackdown's tag division. However, it's time Rusev Day got a title, as the crowd still loves them--although some people could make the point his time has come and gone. Regardless, I'm giving the win to Rusev Day, in hopes that English will sing a fine song of victory.
Our prediction: Rusev Day wins
Jeff Hardy vs. Randy Orton (Hell in a Cell Match)
Why is this a Hell in a Cell match? This is a bit of a head-scratcher. I guess it's so we can see Jeff Hardy jump off of things and attempt fate yet another time. There should be a lot of big spots in this match but neither of these men winning really does anything. Because Hardy lost the U.S. title and couldn't reclaim it, I'm giving him the win here.
Our prediction: Hardy wins
Daniel Bryan & Brie Bella vs. The Miz & Maryse
The Bryan/Miz saga continues, but this time, it's a family affair. Both of the men's wives will be joining the fight in this mixed tag match. After their incredibly entertaining match at this year's Summerslam, it'll be interesting to see how this plays out now that Brie and Maryse are part of the match. In order to keep this rivalry going, which is needs to, Bryan and Brie need the win here.
Our prediction: Team Bryan wins
Charlotte (c) vs. Becky Lynch (Smackdown Women's Championship)
I don't think it's any secret that I'm a big fan of Becky Lynch, as well as this storyline with Charlotte. Lynch, as a heel, needs a little bit of work but there is a lot of potential for her character to grow. She and Charlotte are going to put on an amazing match, and there is no question there, but it may be a time for a title change. In typical fashion, I'm giving the win to Becky Lynch, in hopes she can finally have a victory at a PPV. I couldn't tell you the last time she had a singles match win at a major WWE event.
Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Alexa Bliss (Raw Women's Championship)
Bliss and Rousey's match at Summerslam was incredibly disappointing, as it was nothing more than a squash match. Rousey winning the title wasn't the problem, but Bliss getting not an ounce of offense in was. It made her look weak and Rousey overpowered. While I'm thinking Rousey will get the win here again, I'm truly hoping this will be an actual match and not just two minutes of Bliss getting beaten down.
However, new rumors surfacing are leading us to believe that Nikki Bella is going to interfere in this match, giving Alexa Bliss the win. However, it will be by way of DQ, so Rousey will keep the belt.
Our prediction: Bliss wins by DQ, Rousey retains title
Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntrye (c) vs. Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose (Raw Tag Team Championship)
I'm not a big fan with the Shield reunion, but I'm also not a fan of Braun Strowman turning heel. However, putting the Shield up against Strowman, McIntyre, and Ziggler in two separate title matches is a pretty solid move for the PPV. By the end of the day, one of these two teams is going to walk out with both the Raw Tag Championship and the Universal Champion, and I'd personally like to see Ziggler and McIntyre have a longer run, so they're getting the win.
Our prediction: Ziggler & McIntyre win
AJ Styles (c) vs. Samoa Joe (WWE Championship)
The battle rages on between AJ Styles and Samoa Joe. Their Summerslam match obviously wasn't going to be where it all ended, so the two will fight once again at Hell in a Cell. Strangely enough, as of this writing, this is still a normal match, as the last one ended with a DQ. Because of Joe's taunting and messing with Styles' homelife, he's going to break during this match, and Joe will get the win.
Our prediction: Joe wins by way of DQ
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Braun Strowman (Hell in a Cell Match for the Universal Championship)
Hey, Roman Reigns is main eventing another PPV, but at least this time, he has a championship. As I stated earlier, either the Shield or Strowman's group will walk away from Hell in a Cell with both championships. I don't think Mick Foley as the guest referee changes anything about how the match will play out, but I do see Strowman dominating Reigns one more time.
It's just hours before WWE's next PPV, Hell in a Cell, and it's looking like this event will be a little bit shorter than previous ones, as there are only eight matches in total on the card, including the one on the Kickoff Show. The event will be coming to you live from the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas. Competitors will be locked in a gigantic chain-linked enclosure and have to duke it out. Many times, the fight explodes out of the cell, and for some reason, the superstars climb to the top of it, and someone falls or jumps off the top. It's terrifying. As of this writing, there are two Hell in a Cell matches, and there may be even more.
The event will air on PPV and the WWE Network at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET / 12 AM BST (Sept. 17). Just like every PPV, there will more than likely be a Kickoff Show before the main card starting one hour prior. There will be at one match on the pre-show.
Almost every year, fans remain on the edge of their seats as WWE superstars perform in the enclosed structure, then break out, climb to the top, and almost kill themselves jumping off of it. Considering that Jeff Hardy is fighting Randy Orton in the cell this year, that may mean Hardy will swanton off the top, and fans will collectively have a heart attack.
It's still early, but there have been a few matches already booked for the card, outside of Hardy/Orton. Brie Bella--who I thought was on Raw--teams up with her husband Daniel Bryan to take on Maryse and her husband The Miz. Both Miz and Bryan put on a fantastic match at Summerslam, so this should be a fun one. In additional, three title bouts have been booked. Former Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss gets her rematch against Ronda Rousey, and hopefully, Rousey won't ragdoll her around again like the squash match at Summerslam. There's also both the WWE Championship and Universal Championship matches as well.
At the time of this writing, there are eight matches booked for the event, but you can expect this card to fill up exceptionally quickly in the next week or so, including matches for the United States Championship.
Hell in a Cell match card:
The New Day (c) vs. Rusev & Aiden English (Smackdown Tag Team Championship) [KICKOFF SHOW]
Jeff Hardy vs. Randy Orton (Hell in a Cell match)
Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntrye (c) vs. Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose (Raw Tag Team Championship)
Daniel Bryan & Brie Bella vs. The Miz & Maryse
Charlotte (c) vs. Becky Lynch (Smackdown Women's Championship)
Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Alexa Bliss (Raw Women's Championship)
AJ Styles (c) vs. Samoa Joe (WWE Championship)
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Braun Strowman (Hell in a Call match for the Universal Championship with Mick Foley as guest referee)

WWE's next PPV Hell in a Cell is happening later today, and as we get closer to the event, more and more rumors start spreading around the internet. However, there is something fun about checking all these rumors out. More often than not, these rumors are totally bunk, but most wrestling fans enjoy knowing more about what's going on backstage, even if the info isn't 100% accurate.
Things are sure to get chaotic when WWE's PPV Hell in a Cell comes to the WWE Network and PPV on Sunday, September 16. This year's event will be hosted by the AT&T Center in Dallas, Texas, and the show will begin at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT with a Kickoff Show starting one hour prior. There will be multiple title matches and at least two confirmed Hell in a Cell matches at the show.
So far, there aren't any huge rumors leading into Hell in a Cell yet, but WWE programming still has to get through this week's episodes of Raw and Smackdown to push forward, which is usually when the rumor mill really starts moving. Below, you can see the latest rumors for the upcoming PPV. If you'd like to know more, check out the updated match card for the show and our predictions.
As rumors get confirmed or debunked, we'll keep you updated.
Becky Lynch and Charlotte have been battling back and forth on Twitter, and Charlotte posed the idea that their match should be a Hell in a Cell match. As of this writing, that would make three of the event's matches contested inside the cage. [UPDATE]The match doesn't have this stipulation yet, and it doesn't seem like it will be added.
The AT&T Center has revealed some of the card for the PPV. One match has not been confirmed by WWE, and the card is always subject to change. The new addition is Rollins & Ambrose vs Ziggler and McIntyre for the Raw Tag Team Championships. [UPDATE]Match confirmed and recently added to the card.
Shawn Michaels may be coming out of retirement for the next Saudi Arabia show on November second, according to Wrestling Observer. Apparently, he would be involved in a tag match.
It's looking like Kevin Owens vs. Bobby Lashley will be added to the card, according to how Owens' storyline is going, with his most recent attack on Lashley. [UPDATE]It's hours before the event, and this match hasn't been added. It seems very doubtful.
Many are speculating that Nikki Bella will interfere with Ronda Rousey's match, in order to set up Bella/Rousey for WWE's all-women's PPV, Evolution, for October.
Kurt Angle has been away for a while, and according to Sportster, Hell in a Cell or the Raw after the PPV could be when he returns, in which he'll battle Constable Baron Corbin so Angle can get his spot back as General Manager.

With so much TV, it's very hard to know what to watch. Now, with the upcoming fall season, it's about to get a lot worse. Not only are there new shows on network TV and cable, but streaming services have their own new shows--and there's even a new streaming platform about to launch.
So what should you watch this fall? It's a difficult question, but one GameSpot has the answers to. After digging through the fall season's new offerings, we've found there are plenty of things to get excited about--from horror, to sci-fi, to spin-offs, to some very interesting comic book adaptations.
Whether it's Netflix's adaptation of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, or the latest series based on the works of George RR Martin--which appears to be very different from Game of Thrones--these are the shows you absolutely will not want to miss in the next few months. At the very least you're going to want to give them a shot.
Follow along as GameSpot guides you through the 9 shows you need to be prepared for this fall. And if we missed something you're excited for, sound off in the comments! There's always room for another show, even if it means losing a few more hours of sleep.
1. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Premieres October 28 on Netflix
Why you can't miss it: Hailing from the same producers as Riverdale, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is anything but a spin-off of the CW series. Instead, this adaptation of the Archie Comics series is a dark and twisted thriller taking inspiration from a number of classic horror films, including The Exorcist.
That it's premiering just before Halloween is all you really need to know about The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. It's going to be scary, and that's a good thing.
Who's in it: Chilling Adventures of Sabrina stars Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men) as the titular teenage witch. The series also stars Michelle Gomez (Doctor Who), Lucy Davis (Wonder Woman), and Miranda Otto (24: Legacy).
2. Mayans MC
Premieres September 4 on FX
Why you can't miss it: It's been nearly four years since Sons of Anarchy ended, but the outlaw world created by Kurt Sutter is back. Mayans MC follows a new club filled with new characters, but the mayhem and motorcycles are still plentiful.
What Mayans does different, though, is what matters most. With a Latino gang working for drug cartels on the border between the United States and Mexico, the Hispanic culture flowing through the veins of Mayans MC can be seen in every single frame. It helps it to stand out from what came before. Still, it delivers on the kind of action and MC calamities that Sons of Anarchy fans have been missing since the series ended.
Who's in it: Mayans MC stars JD Pardo, Sarah Bolger, Michael Irby, Danny Pino, Carla Baratte, and Clayton Cardenas. It's Edward James Olmos you're going to want to pay attention to, though, as the acting legend puts in a fantastic performance.
3. Manifest
Premieres September 24 on NBC
Why you can't miss it: We all miss Lost. There will never be another show like it, but Manifest sure is trying. The series revolves around the mystery of Montego Air Flight 828, which magically disappeared for five years before landing safely--with the passengers having lost mere hours.
The best thing about shows like Manifest is the mystery behind it all. Whether it'll be able to engage viewers on the level that Lost managed to remains to be seen, but it's certainly worth a shot.
Who's in it: Manifest stars Josh Dallas, Melissa Roxburgh, Athena Karkanis, and JR Ramirez.
4. The Purge
Premieres September 4 on USA
Why you can't miss it: Blessed be our New Founding Fathers for letting us Purge and cleanse our souls! By now practically everyone should know what The Purge is. After four films, the franchise about a world where all crime is legal for a 12-hour period once a year is haunting. And now it's coming to TV once each week.
The first season of The Purge takes place during a single year's event and follows several different characters as they attempt to survive--or celebrate--Purge night. What it does differently from the movies it put the spotlight on the wealthy, as well as the struggling.
Who's in it: The Purge stars Gabriel Chavarria, Lee Tergesen, Amanda Warren, Colin Woodell, and Hannah Emily.
5. Nightflyers
Premieres in 2018 on Syfy
Why you can't miss it: Game of Thrones won't be back until some time in 2019. There will be plenty of George RR Martin on TV this fall, though. Nightflyers is based on a novella by Martin. Instead of Westeros, though, this series is set in space, as the crew of an advanced ship looks for new life.
Don't expect this to be your standard space adventure, as this psychological thriller pushes the boundaries of the crew's sanity. And based on a description of the series, the scariest moments and figures aren't what they'll find on their adventures, but are instead already on their ship.
Who's in it: Nightflyers stars Gretchen Mol, Eoin Macken, Jodie Turner-Smith, and David Ajala.
6. Star Wars Resistance
Premieres October 7 on Disney Channel
Why you can't miss it: It'll be a while before Star Wars: The Clone Wars returns on Disney's streaming service, but there is a new animated Star Wars series incoming. Star Wars Resistance is set before the events of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and follows a resistance pilot who is spying on the First Order.
Who's in it: The series will feature a plethora of new characters, as well as guest appearances by Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron) and Gwendoline Christie (Captain Phasma). BB-8 will also appear in the series.
7. Maniac
Premieres September 21 on Netflix
Why you can't miss it: Someone gave Cary Fukunaga, the director and one of the producers behind the first season of True Detective, a Netflix show, and that alone is exciting. Maniac follows two people looking for answers to their mental health issues as they undergo an experimental new treatment.
While that may seem straightforward, the trailers for Maniac paint a very different picture. The imagery looks like something out of a '70s sci-fi film and the story feels epic, as the two leads--Superbad stars Jonah Hill and Emma Stone, reunited for the first time since the film--venture through the drug trials and their own minds, looking for relief.
Who's in it: In addition to Hill and Stone Maniac stars Justin Theroux, Sonoya, Mizuno, and Julia Garner.
8. The Haunting of Hill House
Premieres October 12 on Netflix
Why you can't miss it: Based on a 1959 novel, The Haunting of Hill House is another scary show you're going to want to binge leading up to Halloween. While Netflix says their take is a modern reimagining of the source material, clearly some things will stay the same--including the horrifying nature of Hill House itself.
The spooky mansion will be home to four siblings who grew up in it, only to reunite as adults and go back into the haunting above and face their fears. Given that the series is written and directed by Mike Flanagan, whose horror credits include Gerald's Game, Oculus, and Ouija: Origin of Evil, chances are this is going to be a very scary late night binge.
Who's in it: The Haunting of Hill House stars Michiel Huisman, Carla Gugino, Henry Thomas, and Annabeth Gish.
9. Titans
Premieres October 12 on DC Universe
Why you can't miss it: It's live-action Teen Titans and Robin says "F*** Batman" in the trailer. What more do you need to know?
The jury is still out on Titans, but it's definitely something you'll want to keep an eye on. After all, this is the first original series for the DC Universe streaming service. It will be used as a measuring stick for the other shows the service plans to introduce. Besides, it's the live-action adventures of Robin, Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy.
The series comes from producers Greg Berlanti, Geoff Johns, Akiva Goldsman, and Sarah Schechter. If anyone should know how to build a good DC TV show, it's them. It should be interesting to see what they come up with when they don't have any network restrictions holding them back.
Who's in it: Brenton Thwaites, Anna Diop, Teagan Croft, and Ryan Potter. Additionally, Alan Ritchson will appear as Hawk, while Minda Kelly plays Dove.
As the world of Mayans MC is being built, it continues to find itself populated with familiar faces from Sons of Anarchy. In the first episode of the series alone, both Gemma Teller Morrow (Katey Sagal) and Marcus Alvarez (Emilio Rivera) appeared. While Gemma's cameo will play a bigger role in Season 1, chances are she won't be seen much. Alvarez, on the other hand, will be a pretty constant presence. The following contains spoilers for the second episode of Mayans MC.
Now, a third fan-favorite character has been introduced. Chucky Marstein (Michael Ornstein) started off as a compulsively masturbating thorn in the SAMCRO's side. Eventually, though, he became one of its most trusted allies and managed to escape the series alive. Now, Chucky has made his way to the Mayans MC, where he seems to essentially playing the same role for this new club.
Now, Chucky works at the same scrapyard the club operates out of, using his prosthetic hands to do office work. He only appears for a moment in the second episode, but you'd better get used to seeing him around the Mayans.
Speaking to GameSpot, showrunner and executive producer Elgin James confirmed that Chucky will recur throughout the season. "[Ornstein] is like such a gift as a human being, nevermind the Chucky character," he said. "He does a lot on our show. I mean, he's another one, it's not just a little like, 'Hey, check this out, isn't this funny?' Like Chucky plays a role in the season and in the series."
While James won't say exactly how Chucky will factor in the story, other than his role at the scrapyard, he couldn't be more excited about weaving the character into his series. "He's just been a gift to every single person [to] now have him in their life," the executive producer explains. "It's been great, it's one of the greatest [gifts] Kurt [Sutter, creator of Sons of Anarchy] has given us, besides careers."
Hopefully, Mayans MC makes as much use of Chucky as Sons did. What's more, if this is how Mayans plans on continuing to integrate Sons of Anarchy characters into its story, James and his team should definitely sprinkle in a few more. Perhaps we can find out whatever happened to Nero (Jimmy Smits) and Wendy (Drea de Matteo) after they left Charming in the Sons of Anarchy series finale.
