The Harry Potter movies were a huge commercial success, earning over $7.7 billion globally. But because movies have limited running times, the screenwriters had to focus on the main plot, often simplifying or cutting the storylines of supporting characters that J.K. Rowling originally created. Now, with the HBO series having eight episodes in its first season, it has the opportunity to develop those characters and give them the depth they deserved.

Unfortunately, that project ultimately failed to make it over the finish line.

For a truly unsettling and emotionally powerful horror film, check out Lewis Teague’s Cujo, adapted from Stephen King’s 1981 novel. King himself considers it one of his best adaptations. Unlike many horror movies, Cujo builds tension through fear and desperation, rather than graphic violence. The story follows a mother and son stranded in their car, battling for survival against a St. Bernard that has become a terrifying, rabid beast. Cujo is now available to stream on Paramount+, as of April 1st.

The fantasy role-playing game AFK Journey launched in Asia in March 2024 and became available worldwide in August. It quickly gained a large and loyal following, earning over 72,000 ratings on the Apple App Store and 293,000 reviews on Google Play. While a PC version existed, it wasn’t available on major PC gaming platforms like Steam until April 28th. This release is perfectly timed for fans of the anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.

According to a report from MP1st, an artist working at WB Games has revealed they’re contributing to a new Injustice game – specifically, Injustice 3. The artist, who remains anonymous, also mentioned work on a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy, a project WB Games had previously expressed interest in. The mention of Injustice 3 is particularly noteworthy, as NetherRealm Studios hadn’t officially announced their next game yet.

The movie That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Tears of the Azure Sea first came out in Japan earlier this year, and now Crunchyroll is bringing it to North American theaters on May 1st. The film features a new story written by Fuse, the author of the original light novels, and a sneak peek shows Gobta playing a big part. In a clip shared with ComicBook, Gobta and a new character named Yura are caught in a surprise attack – you can watch it below!

It’s interesting how spin-off shows often feel extra satisfying when they succeed, simply because we’ve come to expect them to fail. They break a common pattern. And speaking of hidden gems, there’s a series with a dedicated following, connected to a consistently good show, that hardly anyone seems to talk about. While the internet endlessly discusses popular shows like Game of Thrones or Stranger Things, this one quietly delivers strong drama, well-developed characters, and a consistently compelling story – which is actually quite impressive.

September 2026 might just be an incredible month for PlayStation 5 games, and it’s quickly becoming one to watch.

If you enjoy shows like Heartland or Virgin River, you’ll want to know that all 51 episodes of the teen drama Wildfire are leaving Netflix on May 21st. The show follows Kristine “Kris” Furillo, a teenager who gets a fresh start after leaving detention, thanks to her skill with horses. She finds work at a family ranch where she gets involved in competitive horse racing, romantic relationships, and family conflicts. Wildfire originally aired on ABC Family from 2005 to 2008 and, despite a dedicated fanbase, was cancelled after four seasons.

Other streaming services are taking notice of the popularity of Wednesday, and Disney+ is planning to do the same with a new series based on Casper the Friendly Ghost. According to reports, this reimagining of Casper will be a modern, darker take on the classic story, aiming to capture the success of Wednesday. While Casper is known for being friendly, this new version will apparently have a bit of an edge. The project has some talented people working on it, which could help it become as popular as Wednesday by having a well-liked figure leading the way.
