According to reports, Tom Hanks is reuniting with director Marielle Heller, who previously worked with him on A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, for a new film called The Comebacker. This heartwarming dramedy centers around baseball and will star Hanks in the leading role, with Heller directing. Both Hanks and Heller are also producing the movie, which is based on a short story by Dave Eggers. Eggers has worked with Hanks before, as his stories A Hologram for the King and The Circle were also adapted into films starring the actor.

Initially, Star Trek: The Next Generation faced challenges in finding its footing and wasn’t immediately embraced by established Star Trek fans. However, by its third season, the show found its rhythm and became widely regarded as one of the best science fiction series on television. In its seventh and final season, The Next Generation received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Dramatic Series, coinciding with the cast members beginning their work in feature films.

The new stage play is a continuation of the story from the original eight Harry Potter novels, written by Jack Thorne with J.K. Rowling’s blessing. It takes place 19 years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, immediately following the epilogue. Tom Felton discussed the potential for a film adaptation of the play during an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.

In a recent interview, Casey Bloys, head of HBO and Max content, discussed the future of The Last of Us. He confirmed that Craig Mazin, who is leading the show as showrunner for Season 3 after Neil Druckmann steps down, is currently planning for Season 3 to be the show’s finale. Bloys also mentioned that HBO is eager to begin working with Mazin on a TV adaptation of Baldur’s Gate immediately after The Last of Us concludes.

The final season of Stranger Things kicked off a strong year for horror on television. We’ve already seen successful shows like Peacock’s reimagining of The ‘Burbs and the chilling Netflix series, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, and Ryan Murphy’s The Beauty is also generating buzz. But that’s not all – plenty more horror shows are still to come.

The world of Stranger Things is filled with monsters from a dimension called the Upside Down, and the show’s characters spent a long time trying to figure out where they came from. Season 4 revealed that a villain named Vecna – originally known as Henry Creel – was responsible for creating all of these creatures. In one episode, we learned about Henry’s father, Victor Creel, who was portrayed by Robert Englund, famous for A Nightmare on Elm Street. Englund will be back for the first Stranger Things spin-off, Tales from ’85, but this time he’ll be providing the voice for a character named Cosmo. So far, that’s all we know about the role.

Epic guests immediately got back in line for their chance to race among the stars.

Just to be clear, The Madison is Taylor Sheridan’s strongest series debut overall, but it wasn’t his most-watched premiere. That record still belongs to Season 2 of Landman, which received 9.2 million views within its first two days. While the other Yellowstone spin-off, Marshals, hit 9.2 million views on its first day, it’s hard to directly compare traditional TV viewership to streaming numbers. Also, Taylor Sheridan isn’t the creator of Marshals – that credit goes to Spencer Hudnut.
