Several exciting science fiction shows are on the way, including the new Blade Runner 2099 and a series based on S.A. Corey’s The Captive’s War. However, Netflix’s 3 Body Problem, which premiered in 2024, shows that even well-made, ambitious sci-fi doesn’t always find a large audience right away.
A new movie continuing the story of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, titled The Adventures of Cliff Booth, is coming to Netflix. While David Fincher is directing, Quentin Tarantino wrote the script and Brad Pitt will return as Cliff Booth. A short trailer was shown during the Super Bowl in February, but wasn’t released online, meaning many fans didn’t get to see it. However, a collection of images from the film have recently been released online, and you can view them below.
At first, Dylan is known as Link, the leader of a group of 10,000 people traveling to a bunker in Colorado. In season 2, episode 7 of Paradise, we learn his real name is Dylan, and his birthday is May 16th. This is significant because Samantha Redmond’s deceased son was also named Dylan, born on the same day, and would be 26 years old now. Samantha believes Link is her son, brought back to life through an advanced AI computer called ALEX, but the season finale doesn’t confirm whether this is actually the case.
Netflix has some excellent original movies, especially in the thriller genre. You’ll find different types, like the mind-bending The Killer, the fast-paced Carry-On, and the suspenseful crime thriller The Rip. Speaking of crime thrillers, one Netflix Original immediately comes to mind – if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s definitely worth checking out.
I generally don’t assign genders to the monsters I create. While some, like Dracula, have become traditionally associated with a gender in popular culture, I believe that in mythology and folklore, monsters don’t need a gender to be who they are. In this new world I’m building, I don’t think the characters, including Frankie, are overly concerned with pronouns, or even identifying as human, given the dangers they face. Frankie is exploring their own identity – are they a monster? Are they human? It’s not important to me to define that for them. I see Frankie as a reflection of all of us, someone who can freely express themselves however they feel on any given day. This new world is a fresh start for Frankie, a chance for them to discover who they truly are.
Disney has announced a new talent search called Disney Branded Television Discovers Voice Talent Search. The program aims to give up-and-coming voice actors practical experience in performing, creating characters, and working together on stories. Ten actors will be chosen to attend a free week-long workshop at the Disney Television Animation studios in Glendale, California. They’ll be guided by industry professionals and will finish the program by collaborating on an original 11-minute animated short that will be shown on Disney platforms.
I’m so excited! On April 1st, 2026, both Smokey and the Bandit and Smokey and the Bandit II are coming to Netflix. The first movie is a true classic – a lot of people consider it one of the greatest films ever made. Even Quentin Tarantino has said it’s the most entertaining movie of all time, which is high praise coming from him!
The announcement also includes a look at fan-favorite character Toph Beifong.
As a big fan of the show, I was thrilled to see Emmett J. Scanlan – who plays Paul O’Donnell – announce on Instagram that he’d finished filming his scenes for season two! It seems like filming is officially done, because several other people involved, including Alex Fine, Robbie Taylor, and makeup artist Tahiyya Ali, all posted this week saying they’ve wrapped up too. It’s getting me even more excited for the new season!
Spinoffs of Game of Thrones, such as House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, have been very popular and introduced several new actors. One of those actors is now starring in a highly anticipated sci-fi movie set to release in 2026. Following the release of the film’s first trailer, it’s now apparent that the movie also excels as a different kind of genre film.
