After making his Disney Plus debut in Daredevil: Born Again, Jon Bernthal’s take on Frank Castle / The Punisher is coming back for his own MCU special à la Werewolf by Night and Guardians of the Galaxy. Per Entertainment Weekly, Bernthal will co-write the special’s script with Reinaldo Marcus Green (We Own This City), who will also direct. Details about the special are thin, but Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum teased it as “a shotgun blast of a story.”

We finally have word about the second season of the best thing on Peacock. The return of Poker Face — a clever detective series from Rian Johnson and Natasha Lyonne — will once again include some great guests, which this time means Cynthia Erivo, John Mulaney, and Katie Holmes, among others. No trailer yet ahead of the spring 2025 premiere window, but you can check out the first images below.

There are countless chill beats to work / study to, but few of them are as ominous as this new eight-hour-long mix from Severance. Not only is just the right amount of creepy, but it also includes some great close-up shots of those bizarre computers.

You might not have been keeping up with the development of Marvel’s Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc. Disney Plus series, but Deadline reports that the studio is putting all three on hold as it rethinks which projects it wants to prioritize for the MCU’s future.

Over the next four years, Netflix plans to spend $1 billion dollars to energize the production of new films and series out of Mexico according to The Hollywood Reporter. The investment is nowhere near the $2.5 billion Netflix committed to South Korean productions a few years ago. And a time when the studio has come under fire for platforming questionable depictions of Mexico (see: Emilia Pérez), the move definitely feels like some strategic damage control.

Apple (like most streamers) has always been cagey about sharing viewership data, which makes it difficult to know exactly how well its shows are performing. But Deadline reports that, following the premiere of its second season, Severance has dethroned Ted Lasso as Apple TV Plus’ most-watched series to date:

In Apple TV Plus’ new adaptation of Dennis Tafoya’s 2009 novel Dope Thief, best friends Ray and Manny (Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura) come up with the bright idea to pose as Drug Enforcement Administration agents in order to rob other criminals more easily. Very little about the duo’s plan seems to be paying off in a new trailer for the series that highlights how quickly things start to go sideways. But the show looks like it might scratch that Breaking Bad itch for Apple TV Plus subscribers when it debuts on March 14th.

Nothing is official until HBO confirms it, but Deadline is reporting that John Lithgow is in talks to play Dumbledore in the network’s upcoming Harry Potter reboot series scheduled to debut some time next year.

When FX renewed its English Teacher series for a second season last Friday, the network emphasized how the comedy was “one of the most critically acclaimed new shows of 2024.” Much of that acclaim came before Vulture’s extensive report published back in December detailing allegations of sexual misconduct by The English Teacher creator Brian Jordan Alvarez. And as Maureen Ryan points out in a new Salon piece, everything about the way FX is handling the situation feels equal parts grim and disheartening.

Though Fubo has always been a more streaming-focused service, the company announced today that it has plans to distribute its Fubo Sports linear network “on over-the-air (OTA) stations in more than 100 markets nationwide including major markets New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.”

After hearing an AI facsimile of his voice, the famed Simpsons voice actor said it “felt like what it was, which was just a vocal version of printed text” in this New York Times video.

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

While the rest of internet’s arguing over whether Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’s theme song is a bop, Netflix’s Devil May Cry series is just rollin’ with Limp Bizkit.

In what kinda feels like a play to the “TV and movies have gotten too sexy” crowd, Netflix is moving forward with a Little House on the Prairie reboot from executive producer / showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine (The Boys) that the streamer describes as “a kaleidoscopic view of the struggles and triumphs of those who shaped the frontier.”

Silo’s second season may be over, but if you’re not ready to engage with the outside world again, this vibey tour through the show’s sets might be right up your alley.

Questlove’s new documentary, Ladies & Gentlemen – 50 Years of SNL Music, opens with a seven minute-long montage that took nearly a year to put together.
