In June 2014, Shotgun was acquired by Autodesk.[3]
In 2017, Shotgun won an Engineering Emmy.[4]
In February 2020, Don Parker announced Sarah Hodges would be taking over as head of Shotgun.[5]
In February 2021, Don Parker and four other Shotgun employees were awarded Sci-Tech Oscars for the development of Shotgun in the Technical Achievement category.[6]

The fourth season of the American satirical superhero television series The Boys, the first series in the franchise based on the comic book series of the same name written by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, was developed for television by American writer and television producer Eric Kripke. The season is produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios in association with Point Grey Pictures, Original Film, Kripke Enterprises, Kickstart Entertainment, and KFL Nightsky Productions. The show's fourth season stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and Cameron Crovetti returning from prior seasons, with Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan joining the cast. Taking place six months after the events of the previous season, the Boys work with the CIA to assassinate Victoria Neuman in an effort to stop her from taking over the government. Concurrently, Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the control thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power. With only months to live, Butcher has lost his position as leader of the Boys, who are fed up with his lies, and must find a way to work with them if they want to save the world before it's too late. The season shares continuity with the spin-off series Gen V and is set after the conclusion of its first season. The season premiered on the streaming service Amazon Prime Video on June 13, 2024, with its first three episodes. The remaining five episodes were released weekly until July 18, 2024. The season received positive reviews with praise towards its action sequences, character development, emotional depth, storyline, blend of political commentary and surrealism, unique combination of violence, humor and social commentary, and performances (particularly Urban, Quaid, Starr, and Moriarty), lauding its bold approach to tackling complex themes and pushing narrative boundaries. However, multiple critics and publications have considered it the darkest and most polarizing season. On May 14, 2024, the series was renewed for a fifth season. On June 11, two days before the fourth season premiered, Kripke announced that the fifth season would serve as the final season.
The second and final season of the American neo-Western and period drama television series 1923 was announced in February 2023. As a limited-run series, the program was not originally intended to extend beyond its initial eight-episode order. Season two was developed after its creator and showrunner, Taylor Sheridan, determined that the story needed more episodes to reach a proper conclusion. The series is a part of the Yellowstone franchise, and is a sequel to 1883 and a prequel to Yellowstone. 1923 stars Helen Mirren, Harrison Ford, Brandon Sklenar, Julia Schlaepfer, Jerome Flynn, Darren Mann, Isabel May, Brian Geraghty, Amina Nieves, Michelle Randolph, and Timothy Dalton. Sheridan wrote all eight of the season's episodes. The series revolves around a generation of the Dutton family, and is set in the U.S. state of Montana in 1923 and 1924. The Duttons face the struggles of winter and attempt to protect their ranch against those who wish to develop and profit from the land. Other storylines revolve around a newlywed couple who have been separated and are attempting to reunite, and a fugitive Native American schoolgirl who is being sought in Oklahoma and Texas. Some arcs include fictionalized versions of real people and events. Similar to the first season, the production team planned on filming most of the season in Butte, Montana, beginning in June 2023, but delays caused by the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes led to the moving of principal photography to Austin, Texas, and the surrounding areas, although some location filming took place in Montana. Recording began on July 8, 2024, and concluded in November; the show's cast and crew experienced difficulties with extreme weather in both regions. The second season received a budget of $22 million per episode; Ben Richardson directed all eight episodes, and Brian Tyler and Breton Vivian composed the score. The season was released on the streaming platform Paramount+ from February 23 to April 6, 2025. Two soundtrack albums were released; the first on the day the season began and the second on the day it concluded, and home video sets were published in August. It received mostly positive reviews, particularly for its technical aspects such as acting, writing, costuming, cinematography, and political subtext; however, some commentators criticized the show's large cast, melodramatic feel, and a sadistic storyline featuring two sex workers. Season two was noted for its positive economic impact in Montana and Texas. It also set viewership records. The season received several accolades and award nominations, most notably for its locations, production design, and costumes, while media outlets pointed out its lack of Emmy Award nominations.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
