Just a day after learning that Kaitlyn Dever would be playing Abby in the second season of HBO’s The Last of Us, now comes word that Young Mazino will be taking on the role of Jesse, another character introduced in The Last of Us Part II. There are likely plenty of more announcements about the show on the way, as the new season isn’t expected until 2025.
The Athletic is reporting that Netflix is working on another sports docuseries like Quarterback, this one focused on a quintet of NBA stars. That includes LeBron James, Jayson Tatum, Anthony Edwards, Domantas Sabonis, and Jimmy Butler — and I can only hope that we’ll learn more about Butler’s unforgettable media day. No word on when it might stream, but the show is reportedly being filmed now.
It looks like we’re getting more info on Netflix’s adaptation of 3 Body Problem tomorrow, and as part of the tease, the streamer released a short video highlighting the VR headset that’s so integral to the story. I know it’s not real, but I’m also pretty confident the sleek device would cost a lot more than an Apple Vision Pro.
If you missed Ridley Scott’s Napoleon in theaters, Apple says it’ll be available to rent and purchase digitally starting on January 9th. There’s still now word on when it’s hitting Apple TV Plus, but Apple’s other big historical epic — Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon — will be streaming there starting January 12th.
The fifth (and final) chapter of the Stranger Things saga is officially underway. Netflix confirmed that season 5 of the retro sci-fi series is in production starting today, though that’s about all we know about it right now (aside from the casting of Linda Hamilton). In the meantime, you can stare at this cast photo in hopes of sussing out some clues.
OK, I totally get that an Apex Legends collab with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth sounds strange, but there’s also some really cool stuff here. That means cute FF7-themed skins, of course, but more importantly you can wield Cloud’s iconic Buster Sword in Apex. The crossover event kicks off on January 9th.
