As a dedicated cinephile, I’ve noticed a recurring trend: Countless TV series were hyped as the next “Game of Thrones,” only to be abruptly cut short in this streaming era. The issue lies in overinvestment in shows that executives later struggle to justify continuing, despite the potential for growth if given more time. It’s a shame, really, because well-structured fantasy series with a definitive ending are hard to come by these days. However, there are some relatively recent productions that manage to tell a compelling story from start to finish.

Many well-known, highly regarded anime consist of concise, impactful stories that span less than 20 episodes. Whether these series are awaiting additional episodes to continue their storylines, they manage to deliver a significant amount of enjoyment within their brief durations, making them seem longer than they truly are. These short anime series are also excellent starting points for new anime enthusiasts, and they serve as a convenient way for established fans to rekindle their passion for the hobby by exploring current trends or timeless classics from various eras.

The authentic Star Trek Instagram account has unveiled all ten episode titles for the upcoming season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. These titles, hinting at the excitement, romance, and intrigue that await us in the new episodes, are a glimpse into the adventures of Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), Number One (Rebecca Romijn), Lieutenant Spock (Ethan Peck), and their crew on the USS Enterprise. Here they are:

1. “Strange New Worlds”

Initially, this series made its debut, instantly becoming one of those captivating shows that sent ripples across the digital world. Amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, when we were all struggling to make it through each day and confined within our homes searching for ways to keep busy, a fresh series emerged. This show revolved around a mother, her teenage daughter, and younger son embarking on a journey to a town in the Northeast as they sought to flee their past.

According to reports, the movie titled “Frankenstein” carries an R rating due to its intense violence and graphic imagery. The film features Oscar Isaac in the role of Victor Frankenstein, Jacob Elordi as the monster created by Frankenstein, and Mia Goth portraying Victor’s fiancée, Elizabeth Lavenza. As for the release date, it hasn’t been confirmed yet, but we know it’s set to hit theaters soon. Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein” is expected to challenge our expectations, as per the director’s own words.

In “The Kiss of the Spider Woman,” scheduled to hit theaters on October 10, 2025, Lopez portrays Aurora. She’s a character who appears in Luis Molina’s dreams while imprisoned, and these dreamlike sequences are captivatingly beautiful in the trailer. The overall vibe is reminiscent of some exceptional musicals, such as “Chicago,” and this comparison alone has me convinced.
