When Industry first launched on HBO, it was a little-known financial drama debuting alongside popular shows like Euphoria and Succession. It quickly gained a dedicated following through positive word-of-mouth, with viewership increasing each year and critics consistently praising its quality. Despite leaving viewers with unresolved storylines at the end of each season, HBO has shown strong faith in creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay by renewing the show for a fifth and final season.

Prime Video has ordered a third season of Cross, continuing the show with eight new episodes, the same number as its first two seasons.

Four years after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Peter Parker is feeling quite alone as he enters the story of Brand New Day, and the new trailer makes that clear.

We all know famous pirates like Long John Silver and Captain Hook from movies and TV, but we wanted to highlight pirates who are the main characters in their own films. While an eye patch isn’t everything, it’s a key part of what makes these characters memorable. Here are some of the most iconic movie pirates who sport an eye patch.

Alex struggled to understand Luz’s actions, and his attempts to convince her to stop and trust his promise of justice were ignored. This disagreement culminated in a dramatic season finale, leaving Alex questioning whether he wants to continue working there.

Cartoon Network didn’t start as the quirky, experimental channel it later became. Originally, it simply played classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons. In the spring of 1993, a team at Cartoon Network, headed by executive Mike Lazzo, wanted to add shows for adults to the channel’s regular schedule of Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry. When they couldn’t get funding for new shows, they created a pilot anyway – Space Ghost Coast to Coast. The idea was unusual: take a little-known superhero from the 1960s and turn him into a silly talk show host. Surprisingly, it worked! The show debuted in April 1994 at 11 p.m. and quickly gained a devoted young adult audience. Over its six seasons, the network discovered that a third of its viewers were adults, revealing a real opportunity to create programming specifically for them.

Ben Watkins, the creator of Cross, has revealed what the surprising season 2 finale means for the show’s future. In the finale, Alex Cross rescued Lance Durand, the CEO of Crestbrook, but also uncovered Durand’s illegal operations involving undocumented children. This led to a disagreement with the FBI about the information, prompting Alex to quit his job as a detective.

The new Spider-Man movie brings back Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon, and features appearances from Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, Jon Bernthal as the Punisher, Sadie Sink in a currently unknown role, Michael Mando as Scorpion, and several other actors. Most of these characters fit the movie’s focus on street-level action. However, the inclusion of Jon Bernthal’s Punisher sparked debate, with some feeling his character’s serious and gritty tone didn’t quite match the film’s overall style.

I’m really intrigued by what Ramón Rodríguez has hinted about season 4! He says the new connection to Ulster is going to be a major turning point, setting up everything that happens later in the season. In episode 11, Will Trent actually went to Puerto Rico because a man with the same name as his uncle, Antonio, was killed in a way that reminded him of the Ulster killer’s methods. It’s definitely a haunting development and I can’t wait to see where it goes!

This show continues a recent trend of Marvel projects incorporating contemporary progressive political themes. Based on past experiences, this approach could negatively impact viewership on Disney+ and how the public views Marvel as they head towards the next Avengers movie.
