As The Walking Dead continued, Daryl became an increasingly important character, especially after Andrew Lincoln left the show in season 9. Norman Reedus then led his own series, Daryl Dixon, which has aired for three seasons with a fourth one planned. However, after 15 years of playing Daryl and fighting zombies, Reedus may be stepping away from the role.
Shawn Levy was involved with Stranger Things from the very beginning. His 21 Laps colleague, Dan Cohen, first showed him the pilot script, and they then secured the rights to produce the show. Since its 2016 debut on Netflix, Levy has directed eight episodes, including two from the upcoming fifth season. He’s also directing the season 5 finale, “The Bridge,” alongside the Duffer brothers.
The third season of Tulsa King wrapped up with another seemingly positive outcome for Dwight and his crew, but it differed significantly from the endings of the previous two seasons. While there were minor variations, such as the betrayal of Russell Lee Washington Jr. and Cole Dunmire, one particular change could have major consequences for what happens in season four.
Honestly, it’s just delightful to be having this conversation about such a small, intimate film. Train Dreams wasn’t a Netflix production, they acquired it after its Sundance debut, and I’ll admit, many of us feared it would get swallowed up by their endless stream of content. I truly believe this is a movie best seen on the big screen – I was lucky enough to catch it twice that way. Netflix did give it a limited theatrical release, which is more than some of their other, even good, films get. It’s still playing in a few cities like New York and Los Angeles through Thanksgiving. But what Netflix does exceptionally well is get a film in front of a massive audience, and, as we’re seeing now, even spark a genuine buzz around it – even if that buzz is fleeting, lasting just a week or two.
In addition to developing new games and side projects, the studio is partnering with FX to create a Far Cry anthology series, led by Noah Hawley and Rob Mac.

In the movie Fantastic Four, Robert Downey Jr.’s character was shown stealing the super-powered baby, Franklin, after Franklin demonstrated his incredible abilities. While many thought the villain wanted Franklin simply because of his immense power, the reasons might be more complex than they appear.
According to Collider, the official Scrubs Instagram recently shared a 30-second trailer showing what’s happened at Sacred Heart Hospital 16 years later. The clip features John “J.D.” Dorian (Zach Braff), Christopher Turk (Donald Faison), and Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke) confidently walking through the hospital, set to the song “Big Dawg” by Quise.B. J.D. playfully announces, “I’m back, baby,” while a group of new interns look on, clearly confused.
Phoebe is a unique and eccentric character. She’s a dedicated vegetarian, famously carried her brother’s triplets, isn’t much of a musician, and has a surprisingly sad and mysterious past that includes being homeless after her mother’s death. But one of the most unexpected twists on Friends was learning about her distant, identical twin sister who works in the adult film industry.
Okay, huge news for fans of Wednesday! Eva Green, who you might remember from Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, and Dumbo, is officially joining Season 3 as Ophelia Frump. I’m really excited about this – Green always brings such a wonderfully dark and captivating energy to her roles, and she clearly has a great working relationship with Burton. Before that, though, you can catch her in a couple of thrillers – Blood on Snow and Just Play Dead – but I’m already counting down the days to see what she brings to the Addams family universe!
