Will this new version break the bad luck streak? Warner Bros So the real question is whether or not this iteration will actually make it in front of cameras.

After we (im)patiently waited two years for its arrival, it seems like the new season has come and gone just as fast as our hope for any — literally any — plot, character development, or hell, even lines for Kat this season (yes, I am among those that are very bitter about this)....
