The show follows the original group – Eleven, Mike, Lucas, Max, Dustin, and Will – though they’re now voiced by a different set of actors. Joining them is a new character, Nikki Baxter, who’s described as a tough and rebellious addition to the team. While trailers gave a first glimpse of Nikki, a new collection of Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 Funko Pop! figures offers a much clearer look at her and the entire group of friends who play Dungeons & Dragons.

The movie has currently earned $372.5 million, according to Deadline. While slightly behind the previous film in the series, it’s now the highest-grossing video game adaptation ever. It’s also the biggest movie released this year, landing among Universal’s top five opening weekends. This is impressive considering some criticism about the story and characters. It could potentially surpass the original film’s $500 million total, but we’ll need to see how it continues to perform to know for sure.

Dave Filoni, the creator of the series, explained to StarWars.com that Darth Maul is a character they felt a strong obligation to develop. He and George Lucas had discussed Maul’s potential story for years, and Filoni believed the Maul – Shadow Lord series would fulfill those plans and reveal a future Lucas had envisioned. While the story takes place within the Star Wars timeline, Filoni feels this series perfectly concludes Maul’s story.

The anime adaptation of Wistoria: Wand and Sword started strong when it first aired in 2024, and its second season is coming later this month as part of a busy spring lineup. To help viewers prepare and remember what happened in the first season, Crunchyroll has released a special recap episode before Season 2 begins.

HBO is creating a new TV series based on J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books, scheduled to begin on Christmas Day 2026. The first season will cover Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in eight episodes. Leading the project is Francesca Gardiner, the Emmy-winning showrunner of Succession, along with director Mark Mylod, who has worked on both Game of Thrones and Succession. The adult cast includes John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, and Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape. New actors Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout will play Harry, Hermione, and Ron, respectively. HBO intends to adapt all seven books over ten years, and the series may continue the Harry Potter story beyond the original books.

The trailer for the new film adaptation of Lord of the Flies lives up to the intense atmosphere of William Golding’s classic 1954 novel. Director Marc Munden, known for The Secret Garden (2020), also brings a striking and artistic visual style to the movie. Check it out for yourself!

HBO Max has released a first look at Finding Harry: The Craft Behind the Magic, a new documentary about the making of the reboot series. The trailer suggests that the show will use the same cutting-edge digital set technology – called the Volume and previously used for The Mandalorian – to create scenes like one showing Harry and Ron on the Hogwarts Express.

Brad Winderbaum from Marvel Studios recently discussed Season 2 of Marvel Zombies on the podcast The Escape Pod. While Marvel hasn’t officially confirmed another season of the animated series, Winderbaum shared that new episodes are currently in development.
