Apple has released initial photos from *The Family Plan 2*, showcasing Mark Wahlberg as Dan Morgan and Zoe Saldana as Jessica Morgan, along with their children, Nina and Kyle (played by Zoe Colletti and Van Crosby). The movie picks up with Dan Morgan, a former secret agent, facing a figure from his past – played by Kit Harington – who clearly stirs up trouble. One photo shows Wahlberg with Harington in a headlock, hinting at a tense reunion. *The Family Plan 2* will premiere on Apple TV+ on November 21st.

When the show *Pluribus* was first announced, its unusual concept immediately grabbed attention: the unhappiest person alive has to save everyone from being happy. Creator Vince Gilligan, known for keeping things under wraps during *Breaking Bad*, used hidden clues and imagery to hint at future storylines. He seems to be doing the same with *Pluribus*. The initial one-minute trailer focuses on the strange and disturbing predicament of the character Carol (Seehorn), who appears to be relentlessly pursued by those determined to make her happy.

Bill Condon, the director of films like *Dreamgirls* and *Gods and Monsters*, brings a new adaptation to the screen, this time starring Jennifer Lopez. While this version differs from the stage production, the core story remains consistent: set in Argentina, it follows Molina, imprisoned for being queer—insisting they are a woman, not a gay man—and Valentin, a political prisoner caught up in the Dirty War due to their Marxist beliefs. Initially strangers, the two men connect through hardship, a blossoming romance, and, most importantly, through Molina’s vivid descriptions of classic films to Valentin.

Duncan remembers his mentor, Ser Arlan of Pennytree, charging him with the duties of a good knight: protecting the helpless. Now a knight himself, Duncan reluctantly agrees to take on a young squire named Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell). The story takes place well after the events of *House of the Dragon*, but the Targaryen family still rules, and they’re just as troublesome as ever. Finn Bennett, known from *True Detective: Night Country*, plays Aerion Targaryen, sporting a strikingly similar bleached-blond hairstyle to Timothy Olyphant’s character in *Alien: Earth*, and isn’t shy about insulting Duncan. Bertie Carvel, Sam Spruell, Tanzyn Crawford, and Daniel Ings also star as Baelor Targaryen, Maekar Targaryen, Tanselle, and Ser Lyonel Baratheon, respectively. *A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms* will debut on January 18, 2026, and the show promises an enjoyable viewing experience – especially with a friend.

Below, everything we know about Monster season four.

While many will miss him, Freddy Krueger’s departure isn’t entirely unexpected. Though often lumped in with other iconic horror villains from the 80s and 90s, Freddy always stood out. Unlike Jason or Michael Myers, who relied on frightening appearances or masks, Freddy’s power came from his personality. He was as funny as he was cruel, sometimes prioritizing witty insults over actually killing people. And because he operated within dreams, his violence felt strangely playful and illogical. As the *Nightmare on Elm Street* series continued, Freddy became the main attraction, a pop-culture favorite even for those unfamiliar with the films. Attempts to reboot the character haven’t worked, and a big reason is that Freddy is so closely tied to actor Robert Englund, who fully embraced the character’s campy side.

In the film, Steve Robinson plays Ron Trosper, a recently promoted employee at Fisher Robay, a company that builds shopping malls (their slogan is: ‘Integrating Mother Nature With Centers of Commerce’). The story kicks off with a typical Robinson character moment: a public embarrassment. Ron gives a presentation for a new project in Canton, Ohio, and while he tries to be inspiring, things don’t go as planned, leading to a slightly awkward moment in front of his coworkers and boss, Jeff (Lou Diamond Phillips). Most people would brush it off, but Ron fixates on it. This embarrassment quickly spirals into an obsession, and he becomes convinced it’s part of something bigger. He starts investigating, and surprisingly, his paranoia seems to be confirmed, leading him down a strange path of questionable situations and false clues, all while his personal life begins to fall apart.

One reason *The Simpsons* has stayed on the air for so long is its simple, consistent storyline. Unlike shows with characters who age and change, the people of Springfield have remained largely the same since the show began in 1989, with very few exceptions.

Tudum recently shared exciting news about the next season of *Monster*, including that production has begun. Ella Beatty, known for her work with *Monster* co-creator Ryan Murphy on the *Feud* series *Capote vs. The Swans*, will star as Lizzie Borden. Charlie Hunnam, fresh off his leading role in a recently released show, will also return for the fourth season, this time playing Lizzie’s father, Andrew Borden.

The latest issue of Green Lantern Corps (#9) concluded the ‘Starbreaker Supremacy’ storyline. Written by Morgan Hampton and Jeremy Adams, with artwork by Fernando Pasarin, the issue featured several resurrections and wrapped up the conflict with a race of energy vampires who aimed to eliminate all emotion from the universe.
