ABC released a short preview this week showing characters responding to what looked like meteors heading for Los Angeles, and it quickly became a hit online. Now, the network has shared a longer clip revealing more about the story. It turns out Athena (Angela Bassett) and Hen (Aisha Hinds) are going to space, complete with spacesuits and a rocket! Fans on X (formerly Twitter) have been sharing lots of reactions, and it’s hard to know what’s more surprising: what people are saying, or the fact that this is actually happening in the show.

Look, the world is stressful enough, but if you’re looking for a scare, HBO and Max have you covered this Halloween. They’re dropping a new series from Tim Robinson called *The Chair Company*, which… honestly, might be a bit much! But if you’re *really* in the mood for horror, they’re also adding the recent A24 film *Bring Her Back* to their streaming library. And for those of us who love the classics, get ready: they’ve got the entire *Nightmare on Elm Street* series, *The Exorcist*, and tons of *Halloween* and *Insidious* movies. Basically, it’s a horror fan’s dream!

It’s been so tough watching Jake and Neytiri deal with Neteyam’s loss. Things are getting even more complicated on Pandora with this new Na’vi tribe, the Ash People, and their leader, Varang – they’re really causing trouble. It feels like the conflict is escalating, but it’s also making us think about what’s *right* and what we’re fighting for, which is a powerful shift.

Johansson has been making the press rounds for her directorial debut, Eleanor the Great, which stars June Squibb and is now playing on the 2025 movies schedule While the two of them were being interviewed by Entertainment Tonight, it was brought up how Johansson had once joked about hosting Weekend Update. She’s still game for that, but only if Squibb is by her side. Watch the exchange for yourself:

You know, after watching *Mantis*, I realized it’s less about *what* the assassins do and much more about the power struggles and the tense atmosphere surrounding them. The film really focuses on building that feeling of unease and competition, rather than detailed action sequences.

The newest part of the series will start streaming on Disney+ on October 29, 2025. It brings back popular characters Ronin from “The Duel,” F from “The Village Bride,” and Lah Kara from “The Ninth Jedi.” The show is created using Japanese animation styles and features work from several studios, including david production, Kamikaze Douga + ANIMA, Kinema citrus, and Polygon Pictures.

Shazam hasn’t always had successful revivals since his original comics ended in 1953. Although his famous magic word remains well-known – even becoming part of a popular false memory involving a non-existent Sinbad movie called “Shazaam” – the hero himself was largely forgotten until the 2019 film starring Zachary Levi. It looked like young Billy Batson might finally have a comeback, but the 2023 sequel, *Shazam! Fury of the Gods*, performed poorly in theaters, leaving the character’s future uncertain once again.

Everyone’s getting on edge, because they initially thought they’d only be at the cottage for a week. Grady, who already violently attacked a guard during the robbery, has a quick temper, and Ronnie wants to leave him and the cottage immediately. Royce is caught in the middle, unsure where his loyalties lie.

The actress known for her role in Little Women recently opened up about both her career and personal life, sharing many stories and experiences.

This month’s must-sees include Kathryn Bigelow’s thrilling new film, *A House of Dynamite*, which follows the aftermath of a missile attack on the US, and the suspenseful mystery *The Woman in Cabin 10* starring Keira Knightley. We’ve also got Halloween specials of *Is It Cake?*, a fresh season of *The Diplomat*, and a documentary about the final days of the Montreal Expos. And in season four of *The Witcher*, Liam Hemsworth steps into the lead role.
