He wants to continue his evil wrath and work toward ultimate power and domination. The pair reunites to explosive results as Daredevil must rear his head to try and stop him.

It has been almost a year and a half wait for the return of The Wheel of Time, the second season ending in October 2023. The fantasy series is a perfect replacement for shows like Game of Thrones and His Dark Materials. The series follows the adventures of Moiraine Damodred (Rosamund Pike), a member of a group of powerful women who can channel tremendous power. In the first season, she sets out to a small village to find five young people she believes to be the reincarnation of a powerful dragon. They could be the key to saving the world and fighting the evil Dark One.
Based on the book series of the same name, The Wheel of Time’s characters are scattered around the world, seeking out sources of strength and fighting forces of evil.

The premise of Dope Thief sounds a lot like the NBC crime comedy-drama Good Girls starring Christina Hendricks. So, if that show was up your alley, this one might be, too. Except this time, it’s two men at the heart, and they aren’t bored housewives but rather two guys pretending to be DEA agents so they can rob a lavish home. When the duo realizes the house used to run a large narcotics operation, their plans are not only foiled but also put them in serious danger.
Created by Peter Craig (The Batman), Dope Thief stars Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta) and Wagner Moura (Narcos). Keep an eye out for the impressive supporting cast, including Marin Ireland, Kate Mulgrew, and Ving Rhames.

Combine Shonda Rhimes with a political mystery drama and a talented cast — including Uzo Aduba, Giancarlo Esposito, Susan Kalechi Watson, Jason Lee, Ken Marino, Randall Park, and Molly Griggs — and you probably have a hit on your hands. The Residence is based on the novel The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House. The story follows a scandalous murder at the White House and the investigation into what happened, who is responsible, why, and the fallout it will cause.
This isn’t your average Knives Out-type whodunnit, however. The murder occurred at a state dinner with 157 intelligent and savvy people in attendance. So, sussing out the situation will be especially challenging, especially when not everyone gets along, fingers start to point, and the lead investigator is as quirky as she is talented. Beyond those mentioned, the cast is as long as a CVS receipt for a tube of chapstick with names like Bronson Pinchot, Al Franken, Kylie Minogue, Jane Curtin, and Eliza Coupe. If you’re getting Scandal vibes, you’re on the right track. The eight-episode series, part of Rhimes’ nine-figure deal with Netflix, sees Scandal’s writer Paul William Davies as showrunner. The Residence is a must-watch if you’re a fan of Rhimes’ work.

The massive guest cast list includes Bryan Cranston, Zac Efron, Ron Howard, Anthony Mackie, Martin Scorsese, Charlize Theron, Steve Buscemi, Adam Scott, and so many more.

China just gave Hollywood a cautionary tale about AI filmmaking. Sanxingdui: Future Past, billed as the country's first fully AI-generated movie, hit theaters on October 23 and bombed at the box office.
According to Futurism, the film's reported $1.5 million production budget landed on more than 10,000 screens. Yet it pulled in only about $181,000, averaging roughly $20 per screen, making the budget difficult to recover.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
