Wes Craven is so well-known for horror that many fans might not realize he also directed a Western. And because his take on the Western is so unique, some viewers might not even recognize it as one. Either way, Craven’s clever blending of genres is worth acknowledging.
The new drama, Fjord, will feature Stan and Renate Reinsve, the Oscar-nominated actress, as Mihai and Lisbet Gheorghiu, a European couple who relocate to a secluded village in Norway. They befriend the Halberg family, but trouble begins when the Gheorghiu children start acting strangely, drawing the attention – and suspicion – of the whole town.
Before appearing alongside Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Jon Bernthal’s Punisher will star in his own special on Disney+. Bernthal is also helping to write the special.
Next month, Disney+ will add “The Punisher: One Last Kill,” a Marvel Television project. Jon Bernthal returns as Frank Castle, also known as The Punisher, in this film directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green, continuing his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Justin Hartley stars in the popular CBS series, Tracker. He plays Colter Shaw, a skilled tracker who helps police and others across the country, earning money for his services. The show is inspired by the 2019 novel The Never Game by Jeffery Deaver and premiered on CBS on February 11, 2024.
Cineverse will bring the acclaimed film Pan’s Labyrinth back to theaters in 2025. They’re working with Fathom Entertainment to distribute it, and will be previewing the re-release at CinemaCon next week. Moviegoers will be able to experience the film in 4k, with 3D and HDR options also available.
Marvel has dropped the first trailer for its upcoming Disney+ special, The Punisher: One Last Kill, starring Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle.

After crime shows, Westerns are having a big moment on television. The success of Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone, starring Kevin Costner, really sparked this trend, and now many streaming services are creating their own unique takes on the classic Western story.
The show succeeded by blending thrilling action, complex characters, clever writing, humor, and insightful superhero satire, helping it break through during a time when many worried audiences were getting tired of superhero content. The final season of The Boys isn’t just the end of a fantastic show for Prime Video—it marks the conclusion of one of the greatest TV series ever made.
Noah Wyle, star and executive producer of The Pitt, recently told Variety that the show won’t have such long gaps between seasons when it returns next year. Instead of jumping ahead ten months, the new season will continue the story within the same year – specifically, during winter. So, while previous episodes featured injuries from heat and fireworks, the next installments will focus on cases caused by the dangers of cold weather.
