HBO’s second Game of Thrones spinoff, House of the Dragon, tells a more intimate story than its predecessor, focusing on the adventures of a wandering knight, Dunk (Peter Claffey), and his young apprentice, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell). This approach lets the show explore everyday life in Westeros – the lives of common people – in a way we haven’t seen before, and it allows for a deeper look at ideas like honor and fairness. The most recent episode demonstrates just how well this is working.

Over the years, the Star Wars franchise has often been presented as making a return with new films. While the 1999 release of The Phantom Menace launched a new trilogy, those films still benefited from the involvement of original creator George Lucas. However, when considering the potential for failure with The Mandalorian & Grogu, it’s really 2015’s The Force Awakens that offers the most relevant comparison. The Force Awakens wasn’t a failure by any means – it was a huge box office success and generally liked by both fans and critics. But looking back, it perhaps relied too heavily on one aspect, a similar issue that The Mandalorian & Grogu is currently facing with its production.

Netflix’s upcoming animated Ghostbusters movie has a new screenwriter: Sam Jarvis, known for their work on Dollface. Sources at The InSneider report that Jarvis is now working on the script, following earlier drafts contributed by writers like Yoni Brenner (Rio 2) and Christy Hall (I Am Not Okay with This). Paul Kewley, who worked on Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, is also joining the project as a creative producer.

Marvel brought back Charlie Cox as Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio as Kingpin in 2021, featuring them in the Marvel Cinematic Universe projects Spider-Man: No Way Home and Hawkeye.

Anne Rice didn’t just create a memorable character; she redefined the Southern Gothic genre, essentially establishing the foundation for modern vampire fiction. Her influence went beyond just one show like AMC’s Interview with the Vampire. Series like The Vampire Diaries clearly acknowledged their origins, and its spin-off, The Originals, which debuted in 2013, presented a more approachable take on vampire lore.

This year’s Winter Games in Milan and Cortina are unlike any before. They’ll be spread across a huge area – 8,500 square miles – because hosting the Games has become so expensive, making it more practical to use multiple cities. Even the Opening Ceremony won’t be in one place; it will be split between Milan, Livigno, Predazzo, and Cortina, with the torch lit in two different locations. It’s a bit complicated, but the main focus, as always, is who will be the star athletes, and what exciting moments these Games will bring.

Despite featuring a well-known cast including Albert Brooks, Tracey Ullman, Rebecca Hall, Jack Lowden, and Kumail Nanjiani, the film Ella McCay didn’t perform well when it was first released. With a $35 million budget, it only earned $4.56 million and received largely negative reviews. That’s why its recent success on Disney+ is so unexpected.

Since its debut on February 8th, The ‘Burbs has quickly become Peacock’s most-watched show, surpassing even Season 9 of The Office: Superfan Episodes. It’s performing better than other popular series like The Traitors, Love Island: All Stars, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and the entire One Chicago universe – including Chicago Med, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Fire.

The new movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu, will be in theaters May 22nd. It continues the story from the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, following Din Djarin (the Mandalorian) and Grogu as they journey through a galaxy rebuilding after the Empire’s defeat.
