Rick and Morty Season 6: What to Expect

There aren’t many guarantees in life. Thankfully, one of them is that we will be getting new episodes of Rick and Morty on Adult Swim … many more new episodes in fact! You may recall that way back in 2018, Adult Swim cut a deal with Rick and Morty creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon to produce a staggering 70 additional  episodes of the show. The deal came before season 4 and since then Rick and Morty has generated 20 episodes, leaving fans with (at least) 50 more to look forward to.  Each season of Rick and Morty thus far…

The Walking Dead Season 11: The Commonwealth, Reapers, and What Else to Expect

This Walking Dead article contains spoilers. The Walking Dead season 10 is the show’s longest season to date, with 22 episodes, but the 11th and final season will take the cake. Kicking off later this year, season 11 will run for 24 episodes through 2022, concluding this chapter of The Walking Dead franchise. While we know there is more story to tell beyond the flagship series, with Daryl and Carol getting their own spin-off and a Rick Grimes movie still on the way, season 11 will mostly likely close the door on a few other storylines. It wouldn’t be surprising,…

My Hero Academia Season 5: What to Expect

Season four of My Hero Academia wrapped up almost exactly a year ago and ever since fans have been anxious to see how the anime series follows up their biggest and most mature season yet. My Hero Academia’s core premise remains the same each year, but it’s genuinely impressive how Izuku “Deku” Midoriya and the rest of his classmates at U.A. High have gradually grown into the very types of professional heroes that they idolized in reverence when the series first began.  My Hero Academia season 5 promises more kinetic action sequences, thoughtful character work, and terrifying villains, yet the…

Avatar: The Last Airbender – What Can We Expect From the New Avatar Studios?

If you’re an Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra fan, the long wait is over. Ever since Korra went off the air in 2014 there hasn’t been a new Avatar series on our screens. We’ve gotten comics and books (which have been fantastic) but a return to the screen was always hoped for. The live-action Netflix series is still in the works but after the departure of original ATLA creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko fans haven’t been as excited for it. Now that excitement has somewhere to go. It has been announced that the newly formed…

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 2 – What to Expect from Entertainment District Arc

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has broken through as a seriously popular title and it’s quickly become one of the most celebrated anime of its genre. Demon Slayer builds upon the traditional staples of the shonen genre and features a relatable cast of underdogs who work hard to take down evil forces and bring stability back to not just the world, but also some of their fractured families.  The anime mixes a simple, yet addictive, storyline with unique and powerful personalities that culminates into some ambitious and gorgeous battle sequences with surreal monsters. The first season of Demon Slayer tells…

Fate: The Winx Saga Season 2 – What to Expect

This article contains spoilers for Fate: The Winx Saga season 1. Fate: The Winx Saga is Netflix’s latest foray into magical adolescence and season one is a six-hour introduction to the fairy boarding school Alfea, and the magical Otherworld. The series introduces us to a powerful fairy, Bloom (Abigail Cowen), who was raised in the human world completely unaware of her own magic or the larger magical community. She comes to Alfea to learn to control her power and to discover who she is.  We follow Bloom’s journey of self-discovery and self-empowerment as the requisite “chosen one”, and learn about…

Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous Season 3: What to Expect

The following contains spoilers for Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous season 2. The second season of the animated series Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous, released on Netflix on Jan. 22, answered a lot of lingering questions from season one. But another cliffhanger ending has left fans roaring for more. With a whole island to explore and a few years of blank timeline between Jurassic World and Fallen Kingdom, the creative team has a lot of elements to play around with. What do we think we’ll see if Netflix spares no expense and gives us a third season? Escape As de facto team…

Lupin Part 2: What to Expect

This piece contains spoilers for Netflix’s Lupin. Netflix’s compelling French crime comedy-drama Lupin ended Part 1 on a hell of a cliffhanger. Yes, there’s Assane Diop’s (Omar Sy) son Raoul (Etan Simon) getting snatched by Pellegrini’s cleaner Leonard (Adama Niane) in the Maurice Leblanc-obsessed town of Étretat, though honestly that had been telegraphed throughout “Chapter 5.” The real stunner is when Officer Guedira (Soufiane Guerrab), perhaps the only person whose Lupin fandom rivals Assane’s, tracks down the gentleman thief and addresses him as, “Arsène Lupin?” And that’s where Part 1 ends, with two adversaries—who might well become allies—finally meeting on…

The Mandalorian Season 3 Predictions: What to Expect

This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. After eight exciting episodes of adventures all over the galaxy far, far away, The Mandalorian season 2 has come to an end. A daring rescue mission brings Mando, Bo-Katan, and the rest of their crew face to face with the evil Moff Gideon, who has worked all season to capture Grogu for nefarious purposes. What ensues is a battle to the death that includes lots of stormtroopers, killer dark troopers, and even a clash of blades. But even after that fight was over, no one could have seen the finale’s massive cameo…

Doctor Who Series 13: What To Expect

Change has long been a constant of Doctor Who, and series 13 is no different. This time around, the changes have largely been rung in by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The virus has concertinaed the Doctor’s next arc, shrinking the new series down from a planned eleven episodes to eight. It’s also recently infected brand new companion John Bishop, who has been filming on the series since November (best wishes for a speedy recovery). From companions to rumoured returning monsters, writers, directors and Jodie Whittaker’s possible departure, here’s what we might expect from series 13… Introducing John Bishop…

Cobra Kai Season 4: What to Expect

This article contains Cobra Kai season 3 spoilers. “Hey. Long time,” Kreese (Martin Kove) says at the end of Cobra Kai season 3 when he calls someone mysteriously, as if to ask a favor. Now just who could it be? The most likely candidate is Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith), Kreese’s war buddy and the main villain from The Karate Kid Part III. Season 3 of Cobra Kai explored Kreese’s backstory, adding credence to this postulation. We see Young Kreese’s (Barrett Carnahan) traumatic experience as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, and how he saved his friend that he nicknamed…

Cobra Kai Season 3: What to Expect

This article contains spoilers for Cobra Kai season 2. It’s been a year and a half already since the Cobra Kai season 2 finale cliffhanger took the show literally over the edge.  The climactic West Valley High School fight in “No Mercy” pushed Miguel (Xolo Maridueña) over that cliff – off a hallway balcony and onto a back-shattering staircase rail. It was a first-rate “long take” fight scene (what’s called a “one-er” in the film biz), the epitome of stunt cinematography because it is so technically challenging. The slightest mistake from anyone involved and everyone must start all over again.…

His Dark Materials Season 3: What to Expect

It’s the news fans have been waiting to hear: the BBC/HBO adaptation of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials is confirmed as returning for a third and final season to complete the original trilogy. Filming on a new eight-episode season adapting The Amber Spyglass will begin in 2021. The announcement was made after the second season had aired its last episode in the UK, but ahead of the US broadcast (which is a week later than on the BBC), meaning American fans will be able to rest easier watching the finale in the knowledge that Lyra and co. are definitely returning.…

Riverdale Season 5: What to Expect

When Riverdale‘s fourth season ended abruptly shut down production due to Covid-19 earlier this year, the show had to quickly narratively pivot. Instead of tying together several season-long plot threads — including revealing the true motives of Charles, whether or not the Stonewall Preppies would get revenge against Jughead, and, most importantly, who is behind the mailing of sinister videotapes to the town’s residents — the show wrapped with Mr. Honey leaving Riverdale High and the gang viewing a new tape in which masked doppelgangers of themselves act out their former principal’s murder. It’s all pretty creepy, and since the…

The Walking Dead Season 10 : What to Expect from the Extra Episodes

This Walking Dead article contains spoilers. The forces of Alexandria, Hilltop, Kingdom, and Oceanside put an end to Beta and the Whisperer threat in “A Certain Doom” but that doesn’t mean that The Walking Dead season 10 is over. AMC has extended the season, adding six more episodes that will explore new mysteries set up in the original finale. The extra episodes will also bridge the gap between season 10 and 11, a two-year 24-episode season that will be the show’s last. So, with 30 episodes left in The Walking Dead story, what do we know about those first six?…

Industry Review: HBO Finance Drama is Softer-Hearted Than You’d Expect

In 2020, it’s hard to imagine a workplace that engenders less sympathy than the trading floor of a City bank. A puppy-kicking farm, perhaps? The Trump Campaign? Being asked to experience fellow-feeling for the people who choose to work in the gurgling bastard tank of corporate finance is a tall order. We all recognise City traders as the bad guys – to a one, rapacious, conscience-free, Patrick Bateman-alike monsters who’d sell their grandmother a bundle of toxic assets if it turned them a profit. A viewer could be forgiven then, for approaching a drama about a cohort of graduate interns…

Willow: What to Expect from the Disney+ Series

After the wildly successful conclusion of the original Star Wars trilogy and meeting the wonderful Warwick Davis, George Lucas had a plan: to launch a new fantasy franchise with the man who’d bought Wicket the Ewok to life at the forefront. Reimagining a film he’d first conceived in 1972, Lucas got to work and five years later Willow hit screens in 1988. Directed by Ron Howard and written by Bob Dolman based on Lucas’ story, the film tells the tale of the titular hero and aspiring sorcerer who heads off on an incredible journey to return a baby to its…

Blood of Zeus Season 2: What to Expect

Netflix has taken up more of an interest in animated series for mature audiences and Blood of Zeus is one of the most enjoyable results. The epic show comes from Charley and Vlas Parlapanides and it explores a “lost chapter” of Greek mythology where the bastard child of Zeus, Heron, learns about his roots and tries to embrace his birthright as a hero.  Blood of Zeus is a staggering achievement in terms of its chaotic animation and fight choreography as well as its take on the subject matter. The show’s first season tells a strong story that sees Heron and…
