The Sandman is officially returning for its second and final season. But the new season will come in two volumes this summer, with a split of six episodes in the first run and five in the second. The two-part final season promises (as so many Sandman stories do) some cosmic stakes, starting with a miserable family reunion: all of the Endless, sitting down together. Joining Dream (Tom Sturridge) at the...

Fixed, the R-rated adult animated comedy from Samurai Jack and Primal creator Genndy Tartakovsky, will hit Netflix on August 13. The movie, made with Warner Bros.’ New Line Cinema and Sony Pictures, was abandoned by Warner Bros. Discovery. But the film has been rescued by another studio, much like Coyote vs. Acme and The Day the Earth Blew Up. The movie follows a mutt named Bull (voiced by Adam Devine)...

Netflix only promoted Sean Krankel to the role of general manager of the streamer’s burgeoning “narrative games” division a few weeks ago, so he’s still working on his elevator pitch for exactly what “narrative game” means at Netflix. But he knows one thing: After working on the newly released Black Mirror tie-in game Thronglets with the team at Night School Studio, which he co-founded in 2014 and was acquired by...

Together, they’re behind DC Comics’ biggest current ongoing Superman books, and co-authors of Summer of Superman Special, the kickoff to a seasonal celebration of the Man of Steel ahead of James Gunn’s character-redefining flagship DC Films...

Capcom’s Devil May Cry returned to the small screen earlier this month with a new animated adaptation from creator Adi Shankar and animation house Studio Mir. The show appears to be a success; Devil May Cry is the fourth-most-watched series on Netflix right now, with more than 5 million views, which feels pretty impressive for a game franchise that hasn’t had a new entry since 2019. Netflix recently announced a...

If you thought 2024 was a strong and busy year for television, 2025 is looking even bigger. TV productions were quicker to rebound following the 2023 writers’ and actors’ strikes than movies, just by nature of production. And even with the downtick (or the occasional interrupted story), there were around 500 adult original scripted series that made it to air.  This year there’s plenty of big names making big returns:...

Matt Murdock has many problems in Daredevil: Born Again — and a complete lack of chemistry with his canon girlfriend is absolutely up there. When I first started the show, I was tentatively interested in Heather Glenn, who meets Matt during a blind date set up by Matt’s current law partner. They had some cute moments in the first episode, but soon it turned out that Heather had no personality...

Worried about the uncertain ending of Daredevil: Born Again, and wondering when, if ever, the show will return for a second season? With seven years between the final installment of Netflix’s Daredevil and this year’s Daredevil: Born Again, nobody would blame you for assuming the wait will be a long one.  Fortunately, Disney Plus’ more MCU-integrated Daredevil series will return almost unbelievably soon, as far as the realm of comic...

Stories about A Minecraft Movie’s viral “Chicken jockey!” audience response meme continue to roll out on a regular cadence. Minecraft Movie star Jack Black showed up at one screening to warn the audience not to yell or throw things during the scene where his character Steve shrieks at the arrival of a baby zombie riding a chicken, which his new buddy Garrett (Jason Momoa) has to fight in a wrestling...
