While Escape From New York is a classic, several other films stand out as even better examples of the dystopian genre. With a remake of Carpenter’s movie in the works, revisiting these films feels particularly relevant now—and many of them are considered all-time greats. From stories set in desolate wastelands to movies that feel like unsettlingly accurate predictions of the future, here are the dystopian films everyone should experience.

Matt LeBlanc is set to star in Flint, a new police drama. While the series hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, it’s currently planned to premiere during the 2027-28 television season on CBS. LeBlanc is also an executive producer on the show, which is written by Evan Katz (known for his work on 24, Special Unit 2, and The Event). Production will be handled by CBS Studios and Jerry Bruckheimer Television.

Matthew Gray Gubler is a familiar face on television, most famously known for playing Dr. Spencer Reid on Criminal Minds. He played that role throughout the show’s entire 15 seasons, remaining a constant presence on the CBS series even as other actors came and went. That’s why fans are so excited to see him back on the network for the new series, Einstein, which has been in development for a while.

The change in the show’s direction is understandable. It began as a legal drama but later returned to the action-packed superhero style of the original Daredevil series after a creative reset. Following this shift, several popular characters from the previous Netflix Marvel shows have rejoined the franchise in Daredevil: Born Again.

Given all the potential storylines and unexplored areas, it’s natural to wonder if Tales from ’85 will only last one season, or if it could become a continuing series. MovieWeb recently spoke with the show’s creator, Eric Robles, to find out if more seasons are planned, and he shared:

We’re talking about the film The Truman Show, a comedy-drama directed by Peter Weir that offered a critical, yet funny, look at the television industry. Released in 1998, during Jim Carrey’s most popular period, it’s often considered his finest performance. While Carrey wasn’t nominated for an award for his role, the film itself received nominations for Best Director, Best Supporting Actor (Ed Harris), and Best Original Screenplay (Andrew Niccol).

As a big fan of the NCIS franchise, I’m really excited to hear that CBS is adding another show, NCIS: New York, this fall! Even better, LL Cool J is coming back as Sam Hanna – I loved him on NCIS: Los Angeles for all those years, from 2009 to 2023. And it’s great news that Scott Caan, who I remember from Hawaii Five-0 and Ready to Rumble, will be right there with him as a co-star.

What truly makes great post-apocalyptic anime stand out isn’t just that society has collapsed, but the kind of world that remains afterward – a world stripped of everything that once made life comfortable. Some of these ruined worlds might initially seem okay, or even strangely pleasant, but a darker reality quickly emerges, revealing just how harsh and unforgiving they actually are.

With the current season of the popular CBS show nearing its end, Justin Hartley’s character, Colter Shaw, is still working on individual cases while also getting closer to solving the long-standing mystery of his father, Ashton Shaw’s, murder – a case that has greatly impacted his life. The season finale of Tracker will bring back Jensen Ackles as Colter’s brother, Russell.

The first three episodes of the fifth and final season of the Prime Video series The Boys are now streaming. Based on the comic book by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson and developed for television by Eric Kripke, the show concludes its run with these new episodes.
