Flanagan’s latest Netflix series returns to horror-tinged family drama, but with a larger scope.
Netflix’s big crime drama starts streaming on October 27th, and while it’s a pretty uneven movie — check out my thoughts from TIFF last month — it does feature some strong performances from stars Emily Blunt and Chris Evans. You can get a brief taste of that in the new trailer below.
The busy month of October has begun.
On the streaming side, it’s a big week on Disney Plus, with the premiere of Loki season 2 and the finale of Ahsoka. Meanwhile, the slasher spoof Totally Killer is on Prime Video, Our Flag Means Death has a new season on Max, and the third season of Only Murders in the Building just wrapped up on Hulu.
As for games, Assassin’s Creed is back with Mirage, Detective Pikachu returns in... Detective Pikachu Returns, and if you bought the premium edition you now have early access to Forza Motorsport.
That’s Tom Hiddleston, speaking to The Verge just ahead of the premiere of the first season of Loki on Disney Plus in 2021. It’s an interesting conversation — touching on everything from Loki lectures to the existence of free will — and it’s especially fun to revisit it as the show’s second season starts streaming today.
There’s so much to play this month, and now you can add another interesting looking indie to the list: Saltsea Chronicles from Mutazione developer Die Gute Fabrik. It launches on October 12th on the PS5, Switch, and PC, which means you may be able to squeeze it in before Spider-Man 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
