As a longtime fan of the genre, I can confidently say that Netflix’s Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is the best cyberpunk series I’ve ever seen. It’s set in the same dazzling, dangerous world as the Cyberpunk 2077 video game – Night City – and tells the story of David, a young man who gets caught up in a life of crime after getting a powerful cybernetic enhancement. He becomes an ‘edgerunner,’ essentially a mercenary, but these enhancements come with a serious risk: losing your mind. The show, thankfully only ten episodes long, really digs into David’s obsession and the danger it poses to everyone around him.

Dacre Montgomery, who played Jason Scott in the 2017 Power Rangers movie, has shared details about a cancelled plan to make four Power Rangers films. This movie was a fresh start for the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers story, following a team of teenagers who work together as the Power Rangers to save the world, but it didn’t perform well in theaters, leading to the plan being scrapped.

The latest episode of Outlander, season 8, episode 6, titled “Blessed Are the Merciful,” deals with the aftermath of Captain Cunningham’s treachery at Fraser’s Ridge. Although Jamie successfully handled the immediate danger, he still faces ongoing problems. Cunningham planned to ambush Jamie during a Lodge Night and hand him over to Major Patrick Ferguson for execution, and he had recruited some of the tenants to help. Luckily, Jamie anticipated the attack and was able to rally his supporters to defend himself, ultimately leading to a grim outcome for Captain Cunningham.

With filming for the upcoming DCU movie, Man of Tomorrow, starting this month in Atlanta – directed by James Gunn who also wrote the script – news about who will be cast is becoming more frequent. This week, reports suggest several actors are being considered to play Maxima, a complex alien queen from Almerac who has a complicated history with Superman, sometimes opposing him, sometimes helping, and even becoming a potential love interest.

I’m really loving the way these are designed! They’ve somehow managed to combine serious performance – like those super grippy Vibram soles – with a look that’s totally wearable every day. They’ve got these cool suede touches, and XLIM keeps the branding really clean and simple, which I appreciate.

The show Emily in Paris centers around Emily Cooper, a marketing professional from Chicago who moves to Paris to work at a French marketing company and offer a fresh, American viewpoint. Created by Darren Star, who also made Sex and the City, the series stars Lily Collins, along with Lucas Bravo, Ashley Park, Lucien Laviscount, and Bruno Gouery.

There were plenty of potential Young Avengers characters introduced, suggesting a project was in the works. However, the introduction of new heroes stopped, and hints about the team forming disappeared. It appears Marvel changed course when they switched from planning Avengers: The Kang Dynasty to Avengers: Doomsday, which impacted their plans for these characters.

Starring Morena Baccarin as Sheriff Mickey Fox, Sheriff Country is a new series connected to the popular CBS show Fire Country, which premiered in October 2025. The cast also includes Christopher Gorham (known from Ugly Betty), Michele Weaver (Love Is), Matt Lauria (Friday Night Lights), and W. Earl Brown (Scream). Despite the first season still broadcasting weekly episodes until its May finale, the show was quickly renewed for a second season in December 2025.

The new series, Eternally Yours, is a family comedy filmed with a single camera. It stars Ed Weeks and Allegra Edwards as Charles and Liz, a vampire couple who’ve been married for 500 years, but their relationship has lost its spark.

Tommy Wirkola, the Norwegian filmmaker behind movies like “Dead Snow” (2009), “The Trip” (2021), and “Violent Night” (2022), wrote and directed “Thrash.” While those earlier films were decent, “Thrash” unfortunately doesn’t measure up. It feels hastily made and like a collection of disconnected ideas with a weak storyline.
