With 30 books already written, the Reacher series offers plenty of stories for the show to adapt in future seasons. But Reacher isn’t the only long-running book series getting the TV treatment. Prime Video is also preparing a thriller called Scarpetta, based on the popular novels by Patricia Cornwell, and bringing her famous character to the screen for the very first time.

Jonathan Majors quickly became a rising star after appearing in the HBO series Lovecraft Country. This success led to prominent roles in films like the Western The Harder They Fall, the war movie Devotion, the highly praised Magazine Dreams, and Creed III, a sequel in the Rocky franchise. However, his most significant role was playing the supervillain Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Milla Jovovich leads the cast of this action thriller, alongside D.B. Sweeney, Don Harvey, Arica Himmel, and Michael Stahl-David. The film is directed by Adrian Grünberg and written by Bong-Seob Mun. Since the release of Taken in 2008, that movie has heavily influenced the action thriller genre, inspiring many stories about parents rescuing their children and popularizing the ‘tough, older hero’ trope. While this film doesn’t fully fit into that ‘older hero’ category (though Milla Jovovich is approaching the age Liam Neeson was in the first Taken), it definitely follows the tradition of parents taking action to protect their kids, and Jovovich is a strong contender for the title of ‘best action hero parent’.

The latest episode featured some shocking moments, including Kimiko speaking for the first time. However, one scene particularly caught fans’ attention: Homelander posing as the President in the Oval Office. This mirrored a significant image from the original comic books.

As a film buff, I think people talking about Scream 7 should really go back and watch Kevin Williamson’s first directorial effort, Teaching Mrs. Tingle. Honestly, it’s a great way to get a feel for his style. Both movies have concepts that should be solid, but things don’t quite land perfectly, and looking back, Teaching Mrs. Tingle almost feels like a preview of some of the issues Scream 7 ended up having.

A fan on X (formerly Twitter) noticed the absence of green in promotional materials for the upcoming DC series Lanterns, pointing out, “He’s a Green Lantern!” HBO Max responded directly, playfully asking, “What do you mean there’s no green?”

Guy Ritchie’s work isn’t always perfect, but he’s known for a distinctive style that consistently delivers entertainment. His films and shows feature clever dialogue, British wit, and fast editing, which keeps audiences hooked. This ability has led to many opportunities for him in both movies and television. His latest series, Young Sherlock, has been particularly well-received by critics.

Marvel has shared a new trailer for the upcoming season of Daredevil: Born Again, giving fans a first look at new scenes from the Disney+ series.

The first season of Skip and Loafer was a big hit, even gaining popularity with viewers who don’t usually watch this type of anime. Because of this, fans are eagerly awaiting news about a second season. While there haven’t been any official announcements yet, they’re hopeful that one will be made and that Crunchyroll will renew the series.

A truly great thriller episode feels like a short film, mixing elements of horror, crime, and even science fiction. It avoids predictable storylines, offering something fresh and original. Over time, the best TV series have consistently given viewers exactly what they want. When these episodes are at their peak, they earn praise from both audiences and critics, demonstrating that television can be as respected and artistic as any movie – and these episodes are prime examples.
