In Project Hail Mary, Ryland Grace, played by Ryan Gosling, wakes up in space with no memory of how he got there, highlighting the film's intriguing premise.

Himesh Patel has been cast as the co-lead of Ryan Coogler's upcoming reboot of the classic sci-fi series, which is currently in development at Hulu.

House of the Dragon was the first Game of Thrones spinoff series to hit screens. It's adapted from Martin's fictional history of House Targaryen, Fire & Blood, which draws on unreliable narratives and sometimes conflicting first-person accounts. The show was an instant success upon its 2022 premiere, breaking viewership records at HBO and credited with reviving interest in Westeros after the divisive Game of Thrones finale.

This is a shame, because his best work belongs with the greats of fantasy, horror, and sci-fi. Summer of Night is a tighter, more satisfying version of Stephen King's It. Carrion Comfort is a brick-sized epic about psychic vampires that reads as breezily as a trade paperback. The Terror, which inspired the well-regarded show, is for its first three-quarters a brilliant and non-supernatural speculative take on a real doomed Arctic expedition.

Aegon arrives from Dragonstone with three dragons and demands that the kings of Westeros submit. When several refuse, he burns their castles and armies until they surrender. And that, at least according to the existing lore, is pretty much that.

Andy and Barbara are hard at work trying to come up with an idea for a story they'd want to tell for another season. It's not limbo other than they need to land on something they're excited by creatively. We'll be there.

After a decade floundering both critically and at the box office, DC Studios has regained their footing under James Gunn. With the moderate success of last year's Superman and the groundwork laid by a relatively well-received second season of Peacemaker, it seems as if the days of DC's cinematic outings getting pummeled by the MCU are over, as well as their days of approaching the plate without a plan in hand.

I'm categorically not," he said when asked in a recent The Times interview whether he is set to play Voldemort. "Can you make that the headline?" he asked, seemingly keen to make it known far and wide that he wouldn't take on the role.

Director Ben Gregor wanted his cast to interact with the fantastical surroundings as much as possible. And so, on their sound stage in Reading, Gadsdon found herself filming in a grove of marshmallow trees, surrounded by giant flying-saucer plants and Haribo strawberry beds. I did eat a few, she confides. The Land of Birthdays was just as fun she was filmed in those scenes in the middle of a giant cake, as rollerskating elves disco-danced by.

Subsequently, runaway children turned the valley into a fortress, surviving on food they could catch or grow, with occasional forays into the towns below. Riley has heard the rumours, but it is only when she sees a green-clad boy or is it a girl? hovering outside her bedroom window offering directions on how to find Nowhere that she realises this might be her chance to escape and save her little brother from their sadistic guardian.

In 2017, New Zealand artist Rachel Smythe started publishing the webcomic Lore Olympus on her Tumblr page. It was a lush, watercolor reimagining of the story of Hades and Persephone in a world where Hades is a sensitive but guarded romantic hero dressed in business suits, and Persephone is a bright-pink young woman whose hair reveals her emotions. The bright colors of Lore Olympus will be reflected in an animated series.

Charlie Brooker's dystopian anthology series Black Mirror has been making us face the dark side of technology for 15 years now. In 2011, that meant live TV ransoms and capitalist reality shows. But last year, in Season 7, we saw memories brought to life, emotions run on subscription models, and the Hollywood remake machine going very literal. In the age of AI popping up everywhere, Black Mirror isn't going to stop reflecting real life any time soon - but what could possibly be next?

To everything, there is a season, and for a long time in television history, every show had its own season. Some were fall shows, some were spring shows, and either way, you could count on a brand-new batch of episodes every year. But with the larger budgets and production values of streaming, years between seasons (and no particular rhythm to their releases) has become the norm.

Midway through the credits was a first look at the next season, confirming that Season 3 will premiere later this year. In the preview, Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries) takes Percy's (Walker Scobell) hand, as she leads him through a dance hall full of balloons and twinkly lights. They take to the floor as "Until I Found You" by Stephen Sanchez plays. This is a huge treat for all of those #Percabeth fans.
