Season 2 of Beast Games has been more controversial and unpredictable than its first season, as the competition gets intense heading into the finale. The world’s most popular YouTuber has teamed up with Prime Video again to bring back his incredibly energetic and over-the-top game show for another season.
As a huge sci-fi fan, I was thrilled when Prime Video stepped in to save The Expanse. It meant we got a total of six seasons, and honestly, the good definitely outweighed any disappointment about it ending. The fact that fans rallied and got three extra seasons of what I consider one of the greatest sci-fi shows ever made is incredible. Still, a part of me always wished it could have continued even longer – there was just so much potential!
The show has a new streaming home: Peacock, starting March 1st. This is expected to bring a lot of viewers to the platform, and with good reason!
The new series centers around two FBI agents – both highly accomplished, but with very different approaches – who team up when they’re tasked with reopening a forgotten division that investigates strange and unexplainable events.
Apple TV+ has become known for its excellent science fiction shows, including popular series like Silo, Foundation, Severance, and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.

Shows like ER and Buffy the Vampire Slayer helped improve TV’s reputation in the late 1990s, but it was Sex and the City, Six Feet Under, The Wire, and particularly The Sopranos that really defined the new wave of high-quality television at the start of the 2000s. This period brought viewers some of the most innovative and complex shows ever made.
Starting March 27th on the streaming service, a new horror film offers a dark reimagining of the classic 1923 story, Bambi, a Life in the Woods.
The Cornetto trilogy—made up of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World’s End—was a huge hit and greatly influenced filmmaking in both the UK and the US. The three creators—Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost—have all since found success in their careers, and the films themselves remain popular with new audiences. In fact, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz have inspired many similar movies over the years.
