Wright recently shared with PEOPLE that filming the scene where Ben Richards (played by Powell) was brought on stage in handcuffs to a very excited crowd – as part of The Running Man game show hosted by Bobby T. (Domingo) – really stuck with him. He said the actors were so committed to their roles that the scene felt incredibly intense and chaotic, but in a positive and compelling way.

The series Dexter: Resurrection brought back the popular serial killer and largely delivered what fans were hoping for. Dexter seemed happier and more self-accepting, even working on his relationship with his son. While he moved his killings to New York City instead of Miami, this created new problems. The show ended with possibilities for future stories, and now, more content in that universe is on the way.

Jason (Austin St. John), Zack (Walter Emanuel Jones), and Trini (Thuy Trang) finished their run on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in the episode “The Power Transfer,” making room for a new team of Rangers. Later, in 1995, Kimberly Hart (Amy Jo Johnson) also left the show, but her final scenes weren’t used in the last episode. This meant she didn’t get to appear in her Pink Ranger costume or transform one last time.

Following the success of Band of Brothers, HBO released The Pacific in 2010, with Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg as executive producers. While not quite as highly regarded as Band of Brothers, it still received strong positive reviews for its depiction of the Marine Corps in the Pacific during World War II. Fourteen years later, the story continued with Masters of the Air, a nine-part miniseries available on Apple TV, focusing on the experiences of the 100th Bomb Group.

Racing fans can look forward to Need for Speed Unbound this holiday season. While it wasn’t originally expected until 2025, it’s a surprisingly welcome addition to the lineup. The Need for Speed series has seen its share of successes and setbacks, but Criterion Games consistently tries new things. With Need for Speed Unbound, they’ve really changed the game’s appearance, adding vibrant animated street art and effects. It’s a fresh take on the series that some players are already enjoying.

Today, we’re going to rank the members of the Bat-Family based on how dangerous they’d be if they turned to the dark side. It’s tricky defining exactly who is in the Bat-Family, so we’re focusing on those who consistently work with the group, and excluding anyone with unclear or past connections. That means you won’t see characters like Harold Allnut or Orpheus, or newer heroes like Jace Fox Batman. I’ve put together a list of twenty entries, aiming for a balanced overview.

The game Rogue, released in 1985, is well-known to many modern gamers, though surprisingly few have actually played it. Rogue didn’t just start a new genre; it established a whole way of designing games. Features like permadeath (where losing means starting over), randomly generated levels, gameplay built around repeated runs, and tough choices weren’t common at the time. They were innovative ideas that have influenced game design for almost forty years. It’s likely many popular games we enjoy today wouldn’t exist, or would be very different, without the impact of Rogue.

MCU TV shows don’t need to feature hugely popular characters like Daredevil to be successful. Even the first MCU show, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., lacked many of the elements fans now expect. What it really needed—and what any show needs—is enough episodes to tell a compelling story that stands out from the rest. There’s even a possibility Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. could come back someday if Marvel makes the right decisions.
