5 Sitcom Reboots That Actually Worked

Many TV revivals don’t live up to expectations—shows like And Just Like That… haven’t recaptured the magic of the original Sex and the City, and the return of Arrested Development disappointed even dedicated fans. However, the following sitcom reboots did manage to succeed.

Pokemon Battle Gimmicks in Pokemon Champions, Explained

Based on trailers and my time playing, the new game, Pokemon Champions, will focus on Mega Evolution when it’s released. This fits well with the current excitement around Mega Evolution, sparked by Pokemon Legends: Z-A and the recent Pokemon TCG products featuring it. Many players are curious if Pokemon Champions will bring back older battle mechanics and how it will approach evolutions going forward. I’ve played the game and spoken with Hoshino Masaaki, the Game Producer and Development Director, to find out more.

Netflix’s Keira Knightley Spy Thriller Black Doves Makes Slow Horses Look Weak

The new series Black Doves, from the creator of Giri/Haji, really gets going when the main character realizes her identity as a spy might be compromised. Her boss brings in Ben Whishaw’s character, Sam, to help, and together they get caught up in a dangerous situation filled with criminals, hitmen, questionable deals, and even a few personal vendettas – all connected to the world of MI5. Black Doves offers a compelling contrast to spy stories set in London, and while it shares some similarities, it’s far more chaotic and intense than Gary Oldman’s more subdued spy thriller.

Attack on Titan Returns With Its Weirdest Crossover to Date

Attack on Titan has a history of surprising collaborations, having partnered with brands selling everything from laundry detergent to alcohol.

While it won’t give you Titan powers or trigger a world-ending event to eliminate bugs, it’s definitely one of the most unique anime merchandise items ever released. You can see the three different spray can designs below.

Disney’s New Movie Can Finally Restore a Lost 1990s Trend After Breaking an 18-Year Streak

Disney movies and series tend to follow a predictable schedule. Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films usually come out in late spring, summer, or November. Star Wars projects typically arrive in December. Pixar films often release in June during the summer, and Walt Disney Animation Studios frequently releases new movies in November. These release dates are based on what usually performs well in theaters, but one of these patterns is about to shift.

HBO’s Harry Potter Reboot Still Hasn’t Revealed Its Answer to the Best Part of the Movies

The new Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone series hopes to be a more complete version of the book, bringing back scenes and characters that weren’t in the films. A new musical score by Hans Zimmer will also help the show stand on its own. While the trailer featured some promising musical moments as viewers revisited Hogwarts, the official Harry Potter website confirms we haven’t heard the full score yet, suggesting HBO is keeping the best part of the series under wraps for now.
