The finale sequence of the third episode of Andor season 2 will stand among the already superlative show’s top moments. It repeats a pattern from the third episode of its first season, “Reckoning,” which cut between two moments in Cassian Andor’s life when he stood on a stranger’s ship, escaping certain Imperial death at the cost of leaving everything he knew behind — but this episode cuts between places, not...
Macabre queen Wednesday Addams (as played by Jenna Ortega) finally returns to Netflix in August — then again in September, because Netflix is splitting the second season of Tim Burton’s Wednesday into two parts. Set to a grim, trailercore version of “My Favorite Things,” the season 2 teaser shows Wednesday going through airport security, removing weapon after weapon, before returning to Nevermore Academy and reuniting with some characters from the...
The year is off to a great start, at least as far as horror movies are concerned. There are films about family secrets ranging from ridiculously silly to heartbreaking and tragic. There’s also a holiday-themed slasher, a good old-fashioned summer camp slasher, and a few more unconventional movies that might surprise you. To help you make sense of the wonderful year in horror so far, we’ve put together a list...
By halfway through the first episode of Andor’s second season, fledgling rebel Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) has run across a complication on his latest mission: a band of rebel soldiers who see him as a threat rather than an ally. In fact, they seem to see just about everything as a threat: the critters in the extensive jungle around them, any outsiders they run across, even the other members of...
Tatooine might be the inescapable center of the Skywalker Saga, but when it comes to the most influential planets in the Star Wars galaxy, Ghorman just hyperspace jumped to the top of the list. In the season premiere of Andor season 2, the Earth-like planet lands in the crosshairs of Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn), the cape-wearing Imperial crony last seen in Rogue One. In a secret meeting on the Maltheen...
Andor has returned for its second season and it’s just as fantastic as ever. While the first three episodes of the show get us ever-closer to the Death Star-focused finale in Rogue One, scenes of characters hiding from visa-checking Imperial forces also make it clear in this first batch of episodes that Andor hasn’t lost the real-world grounding that made it great in the first place. And while it’s easy...
The Skywalker saga is complete, the Clone Wars animated series has come to an end (sort of), and one of the best Star Wars stories ever told has returned for its final season. That’s right, Andor is back to remind us of just how great Star Wars stories can be. The show’s final run of episodes will take us right up to Rogue One, and fills in one of the...

Universal is planning to adapt Sega’s racing game series OutRun into a feature film directed by Michael Bay and produced by Sydney Sweeney and Sega executive Toru Nakahara, sources tell Deadline. Jayson Rothwell (Silent Night, Polar) is writing the script, the report adds, and the whole shebang is being overseen by Sega president Shuji Utsumi. The original OutRun debuted in arcades in 1986 before getting ports for Sega home consoles...
Like just about everything in the television sphere these days, Andor’s second season is showing up a bit later than originally projected. Between Disney cutting back on production to focus on quality, which naturally spread its release calendar out a bit, and delays needed to renegotiate the contracts for the Writers’ Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA members, it’s been two and a half years since Andor premiered. Even Polygon’s writers...
