The Baldur’s Gate video game series, based on the popular Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, is getting a new television adaptation. Interest in Dungeons & Dragons has surged recently, partly due to its prominent use in the Netflix hit Stranger Things. According to Deadline, Neil Mazin will lead the project as creator, writer, showrunner, and executive producer. Unlike The Last of Us, which adapted its source material directly, this series will continue the story of Baldur’s Gate beyond what’s already been established in the games.

As a huge Doctor Who fan, I’ve always loved Mark Gatiss’ writing – some of his episodes are genuinely brilliant. But what’s often overlooked is that he’s also been in Doctor Who! He played Professor Lazarus back in Season 3’s “The Lazarus Experiment,” and then Captain Lethbridge Stewart in the 2017 Christmas special, “Twice Upon a Time.” So, he really understands the show from both sides of the camera. That’s why, when he was at the Radio Times Covers Party recently, I was really interested to hear his thoughts on where Doctor Who is headed, especially when he started comparing it to other classic sci-fi franchises.

According to reports, Marvel Studios is planning to release just one TV show – the third season of Daredevil: Born Again – and one movie, Avengers: Secret Wars, in 2027.

In the fifth episode of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, SAM (Kerrice Brooks), a new recruit undergoing series acclimation training, looks into the mystery of Captain Sisko’s disappearance after the events of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. This investigation coincides with her journey to understand her role as the Emissary for her people, the Kasq. She receives guidance and support from Jake Sisko (Cirroc Lofton), Benjamin Sisko’s son, who helps her find the strength she needs.

Prince Aerion (Finn Bennett), who feels wronged, insists on settling the dispute with violence. Duncan, however, requests a formal duel. Given their size difference, Duncan appears to have a clear advantage. Aerion hesitates, but his father, Maekar (Sam Spruell), is upset by his son’s reluctance to fight. Seeing he’s losing ground, Aerion then proposes a more challenging contest: a trial by seven combatants.

Let me tell you, when a show really grabs me, it doesn’t just hold my attention, it makes me forget I even have a phone. That’s how it is with Industry most of the time – I’m completely sucked into its world. But here’s the thing: the impact doesn’t always last. I’ll be yelling at the screen one minute – ‘Oh no!’ or ‘Hell yes!’ – and then completely forget what just happened. Honestly, it doesn’t even matter! Because you know someone’s about to do something even more shocking next week. It just makes you wonder… what is wrong with these people?

Ser Duncan the Tall finds himself in a tricky situation in the fourth episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. In the previous episode, he bravely defended Tanselle from Prince Aerion Targaryen, but hitting a member of the royal family meant he’d likely face serious consequences. Fortunately, Dunk’s squire, Egg, unexpectedly revealed he’s actually Prince Aegon Targaryen, offering a temporary reprieve from punishment in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

Originally, the series The Acolyte was going to be called The Lost Sister, a title that highlighted the connection between the characters Mae and Osha, who are twin sisters. This detail is confirmed in the book The Art of Star Wars: The Acolyte, written by Kristin Baver and published by Abrams Books.

A source named MyTimeToShineHello shared details on X (formerly Twitter) about a deleted post-credits scene from the Disney+ series Agatha All Along. The scene reportedly featured Rio and Lady Death following Ghost Agatha and Billy through the portal at the end of the episode.
