The initial excitement around the 2025 release of Daredevil: Born Again stemmed from the character’s popularity and the story’s promise.

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.

He’s launching a new campaign on Backerkit with an updated version of the game featuring new artwork and improved gameplay.

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.
