In her review, the author praised Emerald Fennell’s take on Wuthering Heights, calling it a striking adaptation. She suggested the film would have been even stronger if it had fully embraced Fennell’s personal vision and been titled Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights instead of using quotation marks to hint at it. Ultimately, she found it a unique and welcome change of pace from typical big-budget movies, especially for those willing to approach it as its own interpretation rather than a strict adaptation of the book.

For example, the fourth episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms showed a key event in the history of the Targaryen family. This new spin-off series is more focused than the other Game of Thrones shows, telling the story of Ser Duncan (Peter Claffey), a wandering knight, and his young squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), who secretly comes from the Targaryen line.

Apple TV announced in April 2025 that they are developing a series based on Philip Kerr’s acclaimed Berlin Noir novels. In July, it was revealed that Jack Lowden, known for his role in the Emmy-nominated Slow Horses, will play the lead role of detective Bernie Gunther, focusing on his beginnings.

Emerald Fennell’s latest film, Wuthering Heists, is surprisingly her most successful, even though it’s also her most frivolous. Fennell excels at creating visually stunning and immediately gratifying scenes – think lavish imagery set to energetic pop music – that bypass intellectual analysis and tap into pure enjoyment. However, she hasn’t quite mastered delivering films with strong, meaningful themes. Her first film, Promising Young Woman, started strong but ultimately struggled with its ambitious attempt to explore the complexities of anger surrounding sexual assault. Saltburn was visually striking but lacked a clear focus in its commentary on class. With Wuthering Heights, Fennell abandons the pressure to deliver a profound message, and the result is liberating. She recognizes the core of Brontë’s story – a passionate, obsessive, and destructive relationship between two people – and boils it down to its essence: two complicated individuals drawn to each other despite themselves. This understanding makes the film’s playful and sensual approach even more effective.

Converse recently previewed four special designs created in collaboration with the anime Oshi no Ko.

Another major success is the series Foundation. Inspired by Isaac Asimov’s books, Foundation depicts a struggle between a future galactic empire and a group called the Foundation. The story unfolds over centuries, centering on the Foundation’s efforts to safeguard human knowledge after a prediction foretells the empire’s downfall within a few hundred years.
