I’m still baffled that Hannibal, a show critics and audiences loved – seriously, 93% and 94% on Rotten Tomatoes! – only got one Emmy nomination across three seasons. It’s been 11 years, but people – especially Mads Mikkelsen and the rest of us fans – are still desperately hoping someone will revive it. Mike Flanagan is doing amazing things with horror on streaming, but let’s be real, Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal is still the best horror on TV, and it deserves a second life!

Jackie Chan was already a well-known action star when he teamed up with the energetic American comedian Chris Tucker for the 1998 film Rush Hour. The movie was a big success, earning $244 million on a $33 million budget, which led to a sequel in 2001. The second film had a much larger budget of $90 million and grossed $347 million. It took six years for the third movie to be made, releasing in 2007. While the budget had increased to $140 million, it only earned $258 million, resulting in a financial loss after factoring in marketing and other expenses. A significant portion of the third film’s cost was due to the $20 million each star received to return for the movie.

Gene Roddenberry approved The Animated Series as a way to continue his Star Trek universe after the original show ended. It quickly became popular in reruns, especially during after-school hours, which led NBC to air it as a Saturday morning cartoon to reach that audience. Roddenberry was excited about the possibilities of animation and chose Dorothy “D.C.” Fontana, a trusted writer, to oversee the show. Although her official title was only associate producer, Fontana ensured each episode lived up to the quality of Star Trek. She brought in writers from the original live-action series and admired contemporary science fiction authors. Fontana essentially maintained the established Star Trek lore, carefully tracking all the details created by the writers. However, when The Next Generation was being developed, Roddenberry declared The Animated Series (and much of Season 3 of The Original Series) as no longer part of official Star Trek canon.

Korean dramas have always loved combining romance and fantasy. Even before recent online trends popularized the genre, shows like My Love from the Star and Oh My Ghost skillfully blended magical elements with heartwarming love stories. In fact, many of the most beloved K-drama couples found their happy endings thanks to a little bit of magic. The K-drama industry is always changing, so even familiar storylines – like the classic romantasy blend – can be reimagined into something fresh and amazing.

There’s a lot to look forward to for fans of cyberpunk! Apple TV+ is adapting the classic novel Neuromancer for the first time, and Prime Video will continue the Blade Runner story with Blade Runner 2099. Plus, a new Ghost in the Shell anime is on the way. These are just a few of the cyberpunk titles coming out this year.

Both Stranger Things and His Dark Materials feature fantastical alternate worlds – a terrifying ‘Upside Down’ in one, and multiple universes in the other. Harry Potter uses magical creatures called patronuses to show what characters are like, and His Dark Materials does something similar with daemons – companions that are almost characters themselves. However, despite their differences, all three series ultimately focus on characters learning about themselves and finding their place in the world.

Because Star Trek: The Next Generation was structured as a series of individual episodes, many focused on a single character’s story. Data, the android, was often the central figure in these episodes, and his quest to understand what it means to be human became a defining storyline for the show. These episodes consistently showcased Data at his most compelling – either when he displayed surprisingly human qualities or when he gained new self-awareness.

At the end of season one of Alien: Earth, Wendy led a group of hybrid Lost Boys in an attack on Boy Kavalier at the Prodigy base on Neverland Island.
