A large, winged creature resembling a bat was spotted flying in the background of a scene from Ahsoka Season 1, Episode 6, on the planet Peridea. Shared on X by @moraimessenger, the creature isn’t a main part of the shot, but appears far in the distance. Fans have noticed it bears a striking resemblance to a key character expected to appear in Season 2 of the Disney+ series.

While Palpatine and Darth Vader are more famous, I’ve always been captivated by Darth Maul. He appeared in some of the best episodes of the Star Wars animated series, and his look and the actors who’ve played him are consistently fantastic. What really sets him apart, though, is that he’s unpredictable – something most Star Wars villains aren’t.

Maul – Shadow Lord revisits the beginning of the Empire, right after Maul’s defeat on Mandalore in Season 7 of The Clone Wars. The story finds Maul at a low point, having lost his brother, Savage Oppress. Shadow Lord delves into a previously unseen chapter of Maul’s life, offering fans a deeper understanding of the Sith Lord’s motivations and goals in a dangerous new galaxy.

Prime Video has canceled the young adult musical drama The Runarounds after just one season, about seven months after it first premiered in September. The show’s cancellation happened quietly a few months ago. Fortunately for the lead actress, Lilah Pate, she’s now landed a main role in Frisco King, a spinoff of Taylor Sheridan’s series, on Paramount+.

The original Faces of Death, popular in the late 1970s and 80s, gained notoriety by claiming to show real footage of deaths – both human and animal. Although much of this footage was later revealed to be faked, the film left a lasting impression. That history is precisely what allows a new version to be made in 2026, and makes its message about the dangers of being overly curious about disturbing things feel so unsettling.

The 1990s produced a wealth of memorable science fiction movies, but ten films truly define the decade. These standout movies are considered the best sci-fi releases of each year and continue to be thrilling and captivating stories.

Looking back on Game of Thrones, it’s often a difficult watch. From disappointing plot turns to the famously divisive final episode – which still sparks debate almost seven years later – the show doesn’t always hold up. While many blame the final season for its decline, others point to season 6, when the show moved beyond the original books it was based on. It’s true that Game of Thrones was a hugely important and groundbreaking fantasy series, but if you’re looking for a consistently satisfying story from start to finish, there are other options that might be a better fit.

Reverse isekai stories are captivating because they highlight the differences between fantasy and everyday life. Watching powerful fantasy characters struggle with ordinary things – like a demon lord at a job interview or an elf obsessed with video games – surprisingly grounds these stories in relatable human experiences. The most successful reverse isekai tales work because they offer a fresh, and often amusing, perspective on the world around us.

This series is receiving incredible praise, boasting a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes – even higher than beloved HBO shows like The Sopranos, The Wire, The Leftovers, and Succession. It’s quickly becoming one of HBO’s greatest series ever. With a second season already planned and strong viewership last year, this 7-part crime drama is predicted to be a major contender at the 2026 Emmy Awards next September.

Dan Levy, who played David in the popular CBC show Schitt’s Creek, recently returned to the Ontario town of Goodwood where the series was filmed. In an interview with Anthony Mason on CBS Sunday Morning, Levy visited the location for the first time since production ended in 2020. He shared fond memories of working with Catherine O’Hara, who played his character’s mother, and made it clear that any future projects, like a sequel or reunion, wouldn’t happen without her.
