Originally broadcast on ITV in the UK from October to December 2015, Jekyll and Hyde was cancelled after only one season in January 2016, leaving the story incomplete and ending on a cliffhanger.

I’ve always been a bit worried about fantasy shows – they often don’t get the chance they deserve, especially if they don’t become hits right away. When the movie The Golden Compass didn’t really take off, I thought a TV series would be a huge gamble. But I was so glad they went ahead with His Dark Materials! It ran for three seasons, and each one beautifully adapted a book from the series. It all built to an ending that was truly heartbreaking, but ultimately, incredibly satisfying. I was completely invested!

I’ve always loved fantasy, and even before everyone was talking about Westeros, there were authors writing incredibly powerful, gritty stories. They weren’t afraid to really delve into the darker sides of things – war, the abuse of power, the lasting effects of trauma, and how easily people can become corrupted. If you’re like me and you’re looking for something beyond the usual castles and frozen creatures, these ten epic dark fantasy series prove that Game of Thrones definitely wasn’t the end of the line for amazing fantasy. They’re just so much more imaginative and impactful!

In the movie The Housemaid, Sweeney plays the main character, a woman hired as a housekeeper by a rich wife. But their relationship takes a dark turn as secrets are revealed. The film has captivated viewers since its release and has quickly become a commercial success.

The film, influenced by classic revenge stories, Hong Kong action films, and neo-noir, was a huge success with both audiences and critics. It’s grown into a franchise with three sequels, a TV series called The Continental, and a spin-off movie, Ballerina, plus video games and comics. The film also sparked a trend of action movies focused on stylish fights, intense violence, and a sleek look. John Wick himself changed what people expect from action heroes. He’s part of a new wave of protagonists who rely more on skill, quiet determination, and physical performance than on being big and talkative.

As a Disney+ subscriber, I’m hearing that now that Disney fully owns Hulu, they’re planning to combine all of Hulu’s shows and movies into Disney+. It’s a big change, and honestly, it might really change what Disney+ is known for – it used to be the go-to for totally family-friendly content, and that could shift now.

Alan Ritchson is quickly becoming a major star in Hollywood, with several high-profile projects on the way. But even with all his new work, he’s still strongly recognized for his excellent portrayal of Jack Reacher in the Prime Video series.
