House of the Dragon Season 3 is over, leaving us with a two-year wait before we can pick up the story of Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy) and her struggle for power. As always, some of us will fill the time by re-reading George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, or rewatching HBO's Game of Thrones for a taste of Westeros. We can also pick up other series, but the world of fantasy is vast, and finding stories that connect with our specific tastes can be a struggle — especially if we wan

Lucky is a great new show on Apple TV. But when it comes to crime series, the streamer has a diverse selection of options beyond that. If you are looking for something else to watch in the genre while waiting for new episodes of Lucky, or once you've finished, you don't have to go elsewhere: you can stick with the same service.

Animationis a limitless format when done right. Creators can conjure up magical, experimental, ambitious worlds on screen without worrying about the constraints that come with live action. That creative freedom has given audiences some of the greatest stories of all time.

At the heart of the appeal of so many great crime shows is a sense of macabre intrigue, a morbid curiosity that invites viewers to revel in the dark depravity of human behavior. It doesn’t matter whether the series focuses on complicated and compromised detectives investigating a deranged serial killer or an ordinary man’s descent into the corruption, violence, and power of the drug trade, the wicked immersion in human evil is compelling to say the least.

Jennifer Morrison is known by fans for a lot of different roles. The multihyphenate star made a name for herself on shows like Once Upon a Time and House M.D.; she briefly starred in the J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie reboot;now she's an accomplished director working on even more of your favorite TV shows. Her work behind the camera includes helming one of the earliest episodes of Sam Levinson's hit HBO series Euphoria. Joining the series in Season 1, Morrison directed Episode 5 titled "'03 Bonnie

Henry Cavill is a man who's very familiar with a sword and a shield, and he'll be doing it again soon enough as Connor MacLeod in Highlander, but that won't be the first time he's done so. This is a man who loves battling legendary warriors and ancient gods. More than a decade before Chad Stahelski’s reboot, Cavill headlined another epic fantasy blockbuster that arrived right at the height of Hollywood's mythology craze.

Before Brooklyn Nine-Ninemade him the face of the NYPD, the late Andre Braugher took the airwaves by storm as Baltimore Detective Frank Pembleton in the critically acclaimed Homicide: Life on the Street. The '90s police drama ran for seven seasons on NBC between 1993 and 1999, ultimately rounding out with a feature-length conclusion. For years, Peacock has been the streaming home of this powerhouse procedural, but if you thought it would be that way forever — think again. In less than a week, Ho

The discovery of a hidden gem featuring two big stars you never imagined would have ever crossed paths is one of the true virtues of the streaming era. Nobody has time to watch every single movie at the multiplex, and finding it at home used to be tougher than it is now. That's why it's great to stumble across a neat little crime movie that has no sprawling criminal empires or glamorous gangsters. Instead, everything happens in dingy Brooklyn bars, cramped houses and freezing streets where viole

Netflix was, once upon a time, a ragtag underdog, a Scrappy-Doo of a service that was still trying to make its way and punch above its weight class. There was a time before the billion dollar action movies, spy franchises, where they had to prove they could deliver genuinely cinematic blockbuster entertainment. And that's exactly what they managed to pull off when they put together a top-class cast for a heist movie with a difference.

Batman on the big screen was all but a lost cause in the nascence of the 21st century, with audiences and critics some combination of soured and apathetic toward the Caped Crusader following the glitterbomb travesty of Joel Schumacher's Batman and Robin. Nevertheless, Warner Bros. pushed forward in pursuing a reinvention of one of their most valuable IPs. Several directors including Wolfgang Petersen and Darren Aronofsky were considered to take the helm, before the studio finally settled on Chri

HBO's Harry Potter series hasn't even made it to our screens yet but the powers-that-be at HBO and Warner Bros. Discovery are already getting the train back on the track ahead of the next chapter in the story of The Boy Who Lived. Each season is tackling one of J.K. Rowling’s novels per season, giving Hogwarts and its enormous collection of characters considerably more room to breathe than they had in the movies, and with HBO keen to keep its production moving swiftly, things have been in motion

Gerard Butler is an actor with a filmography that boasts both quality and quantity. Now a regular on the theatrical circuit, it's worth remembering that it hasn't even been two decades since Butler broke into the Hollywood mainstream as King Leonidas in Zack Snyder's 2007 epic, 300. Last summer, he released one of his biggest box office hits yet, as he turned his original voice role as Stoick the Vast into live-action in the How to Train Your Dragon remake.

We are only eight months into the year, but 2026 is already one of the best in recent memory for horror fans. Some of the best examples include Evil Dead director Sam Raimi's long-awaited return to the genre with Send Help, Severance star Adam Scott's spine-chiller Hokum, Nia DaCosta's inventive, thought-provoking, and brilliantly violent 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, and, of course, Kane Parsons' record-breaking directorial debut Backrooms.

Around a year ago, The X-Files creator Chris Carter announced — on a podcast hosted by David Duchovny, no less — that he'd been given the go-ahead to make a director's cut of the series' second theatrical film. I Want to Believe arguably sits in a very specific place within the legacy of the sci-fi series; it leans away from The X-Files' long-running mythology arc in favor of embracing the show's monster-of-the-week format.

Following the release of The Rise of Skywalker in 2019, Star Wars under the Disney banner shifted its focus from the big screen to streaming. The first Star Wars show to take the world by storm was The Mandalorian, which even spawned other shows like The Book of Boba Fett and Ahsoka. Disney Star Wars has also been working diligently to build out the animation department with new 2026 releases like Maul — Shadow Lord and The Ninth Jedi. The former has already been renewed for Season 2, and the la

Like every good network TV show, ABC's High Potentialhas two main characters in a will-they-won't-they dynamic. Kaitlin Olson's Morgan and her partner in the LAPD, Detective Karadec (Daniel Sunjata), have had an indescribable tension between them since the beginning. At first, the always by-the-book Karadec was resistant to Morgan joining the fold, especially when it meant her breaking protocol. But as the two continued to solve cases together, and Morgan showed just how invaluable she is to the

Disney+ has spent the last few years taking beloved properties and bringing them up to date for a new audience thanks to the magic of streaming. One of their biggest prospective properties had been quietly in the works for some time but, unfortunately for those who hoped to see some mighty morphin' again in the near future, it looks like things have reached the end of the road.

Jurassic Park meets The Twilight Zone in the newest big box office arrival this weekend, as Anne Hathawaydelivers her fourth theatrical release of 2026. She is starring opposite Ewan McGregor in The End of Oak Street, formerly known as Flowervale Street, a twisting sci-fi thriller featuring dinosaurs. Sure to prove popular, but unlikely to upset the status quo and rival the likes of Spider-Man: Brand New Dayand Christopher Nolan's epic The Odyssey, The End of Oak Street is an enticing option thi

The label "magical realism" refers to stories that blend realistic fiction with fantasy. They serve up believable drama along with decidedly unbelievable supernatural elements. Often, these fantastical events are treated quite matter-of-factly: miracles, ghosts, impossible coincidences, and unexplained phenomena exist naturally alongside everyday life, often serving as metaphors or manifestations of the characters' emotions.

The Smile franchise is heading back to 1995 for its next nightmare. After two movies brought the terrifying entity to the big screen, a new prequel comic is exploring another chapter in the curse's history, this time against the unlikely backdrop of professional football. IDW Publishing's Any Given Smile is a five-issue series from writer Stephanie Williams, artist Pablo Collar, colorist Triona Farrell, and letterer Ariana Maher. Any Given Smile #1 arrives on September 23, but Collider had the o
