Apple TV Plus is putting Government Cheese on the menu.

In Government Cheese, Apple’s new comedy co-created by Paul Hunter and Aeysha Carr, an unusual family living in late ‘60s San Francisco find their lives turned upside down when the head of the house (David Oyelowo) is freed from a stint in prison.

Hampton Chambers (Oyelowo) has a plan to make it big after he invents a new kind of self-sharpening drill, but the process of making his dreams real winds up being more convoluted than he could anticipate. The show debuts April 16th.

The CW actually made a trailer for its canceled Powerpuff Girls reboot.

The CW canceled its live-action Powerpuff Girls adaptation starring Chloe Bennet as Blossom, Dove Cameron, as Bubbles, and Yana Perrault as Buttercup before the series ever got a chance to air. Behind-the-scenes set photos have been floating around on the internet for years, but a full-on trailer showcasing what could have been was posted to YouTube on Thursday by Lost Media Busters.

Update: The trailer has been yanked from YouTube and The Internet Archive, while currently there is still a snippet on Bluesky.

There’s a new Suikoden coming.

To mobile. In preparation for the release of the Suikoden I & II HD remasters launching on March 6th, Konami held a livestream event complete with a live orchestra performance guaranteed to put fans in all of their feelings.

And while fans of the classic JRPG series are excited about an anime adaptation coming for Suikoden II, they are far less enthused by the news that, Suikoden Star Leap, the first new, mainline entry in the series in almost 20 years will be a gacha game.

Forza’s on PS5’s horizon.

Xbox’s been hard at work bringing its exclusives to the PS5. There was Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, and Sea of Thieves to start, but now it’s targeting bigger releases like Indiana Jones and The Great Circle and Forza Horizon 5. Microsoft announced that it was targeting Spring of 2025 for the beautiful racing game’s release and now we have a confirmed date: April 29th. You can even pre-order the game to get early access starting April 25th.

SomeBODY once told me that Zendaya was joining the cast of Shrek 5.

Hey now, you’re an ogre.

Let the hunt begin.

Well, almost. Monster Hunter Wilds, a game that streamlines the monster hunting formula while adding a healthy dose of spectacle, launches tomorrow on the PS5, Xbox, and PC. For now, you can check out my review or watch this new story trailer.

Another big RPG on the way.

If Avowed and Monster Hunter Wilds haven’t taken up all of your time, the remaster of Xenoblade Chronicles X is coming to the Switch on March 20th. It may be a decade old, but its sci-fi world is still a huge and wondrous place to explore — and you can get a deeper look at it in this new overview video from Nintendo.

Can you tell me how to get to Fear Street?

Netflix’s slasher franchise continues, this time with the spinoff Prom Queen. While it may not be as inventive as a three-part movie event, the first teaser does look it could still be fun. It starts streaming way ahead of Halloween, too, with a May 23rd premiere date.

Oh yes, wait a minute, Mr. Postmon.

Though this year’s Pokémon Day will be full of announcements about the franchise’s upcoming games, it will also feature the debut of Dragonite and the Postal Worker, a new animated short produced by CoMix Wave Films — the studio behind director Makoto Shinkai‘s Suzume, Weathering With You, and Your Name.

A new trailer for the short — out on YouTube February 27th 12 AM JST — makes it look like it’s going to be a gorgeous reminder that there’s more to the Pokémon world than battling.

Look who’s talking now.

Danny and Michael Philippou, the directors behind the breakout horror hit Talk To Me, are finally ready to show what they having coming next. Well, they’re teasing it. The brief trailer for Bring Her Back doesn’t show all that much, but it certainly sets a mood. As does the premise: “a brother and sister uncover a terrifying ritual at the secluded home of their new foster mother.” The movie hits theaters on May 30th.

This is like, the 70th night at Freddy’s.

There were sister locations, help was wanted (a couple of times), then there was a security breach. Now the next calamity in the Five Nights at Freddy’s series involves mimics. During the PlayStation State of Play presentation, Steel Wool Productions showed off a first look at gameplay for Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic. Find those mimics and dodge murderous animatronics for minimum wage when Secret of the Mimic launches June 13th.

The live-action How to Train Your Dragon could have made a great cartoon.

DreamWorks’ plan to make a live-action How to Train Your Dragon adaptation has never sounded like a great idea, and the movie’s new trailer really makes it seem like the studio might have been better off keeping this franchise strictly animated. The film hits theaters on June 13th.

What we do as shadows.

It has been a good long while since Marvel debuted a villain with some real pizzaz to them, but the shots of Thunderbolts’ big bad turning people into shadows in the movie’s latest trailer looks promising as hell.

You know what’s better than one Onimusha?

Two.

During Capcom’s February spotlight, the company announced that it’s working on yet another Onimusha game. But don’t expect a companion to the next entry in the franchise announced during last year’s Game Awards. Instead, a remaster of Oniumusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny is on the way. You’ll be able to play this remaster sooner too as it’s expected on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC sometime this year.

Rug pullers better watch out.

Though Hollywood’s newfound obsession with making horror movies revolving around killer consumer tech is getting a little tired, Cold Wallet — director Cutter Hodierne’s new thriller about a group of armed Redditors looking for revenge after losing everything in a crypto scam — looks pretty legit. The movie hits theaters and digital platforms of February 28th.

Hope you like secrets.

Apple’s mystery-packed thriller Surface returns on February 21st, and the second season’s first trailer promises — you guessed it — even more mysteries.

M3gan 2.0 trailer teases the killer android’s return in June.

After a few delays, Universal and Blumhouse’s sequel to their $180 million grossing viral hit about a best-friend-AI-bot-gone-bad is scheduled to premiere on June 27th, 2025. Now the first teaser trailer has dropped on the night of the Grammy Awards with an assist from Chappell Roan’s song “Femininomenon.”

In M3gan 2.0 the robot will be resurrected to do battle with a military-grade spinoff based on her original tech, and presumably some new TikTok dances.

You can’t make everyone happy.

But in Is This Seat Taken? you can certainly try. The adorable puzzler has players trying to seat people in just the right spot, whether they’re in a movie theater or a crowded bus, careful to avoid others who are too noisy or smelly. It doesn’t have a release date yet, but the game’s coming to PC and mobile, with a Steam demo available on February 10th.

It takes two (again).

Hazelight is showing off its next co-op game Split Fiction with a fresh trailer, which includes a dramatic split-screen boss battle. It looks like there’s quite a bit going on in the game thanks to its “side stories” feature, which includes gameplay twists like waterskiing and cyberpunk chase sequences. Split Fiction launches pretty soon, hitting PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on March 6th.

Blumhouse is just making horror movies about regular consumer tech at this point.

As inspired as some of Blumhouse’s past horror features about deranged machines have been, Drop from writer / director Christopher Landon’s (Happy Death Day, Heart Eyes) really just kinda seems like it’s going to be about a serial killer menacing their victims via AirDrop. The movie’s out April 11th.

Knives out.

It looks like there will be plenty of conflict in the next season of Yellowjackets, with all kinds of bloodshed spanning both time periods. It’s been a bit of a wait — season 2 premiered in 2023 — but the show is back on February 14th.
