The animated film Spirit Untamed became available on Peacock on April 30th, five years after its disappointing theatrical release. While it was a fresh take on the 2002 film Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron and inspired by the Spirit Riding Free series on Netflix, Spirit Untamed unfortunately became DreamWorks Animation’s lowest-grossing movie in theaters. Despite a relatively modest $30 million budget, the film only earned a little over $42 million worldwide, making it a significant box office failure, particularly when compared to the original film’s $122 million global earnings.

The anime series From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman surprised many viewers with its initial release last spring and was quickly renewed for a second season. Now, with the Summer 2026 anime season approaching in July, a release date of July 8th has been confirmed. To get a sneak peek, you can watch the new trailer and view the poster for Season 2 below.

To be fair, adapting Fire & Blood isn’t easy. It’s not a typical novel; it’s presented as a historical text from the world of the story, written as if by a scholar using various, often contradictory, sources. This means the show has had to make its own choices about what happened and expand on the characters and plot significantly.

Kunimitsu is a skilled ninja who defeats enemies using speed, martial arts, ninja techniques, and a special sword. She’s known for quick moves like turning an opponent’s attack against them with a stab, teleporting to dodge attacks and then striking back in the air, quickly closing in for a strike, and throwing opponents before finishing with a powerful slam.

The TV show La Brea, which ran from 2021 to 2024, struggled to win over critics and a wide audience despite its unusual story. The show begins when a massive sinkhole opens in Los Angeles, pulling a family and several strangers into a mysterious, prehistoric world. Back in the present, the daughter who narrowly escaped the sinkhole and her father, who struggles with mental illness, try to understand what happened and find a way to bring everyone back—and the father’s visions might hold the answers.

A board game based on the comic Rat Queens faced a difficult start. Though a 2021 Kickstarter campaign raised over $338,000, the company originally in charge, Deep Water Games, didn’t complete or deliver the game. Now, five years later, Rat Queens co-creator Kurtis J. Wiebe is taking over to finally bring the project to life. He’s launching a new campaign on Backerkit with an updated version of the game featuring new artwork and improved gameplay. Importantly, backers of the original campaign will receive the finished game without needing to pay again.
