Both films presented high fantasy in a fresh way that audiences hadn’t seen before.
In a recent interview with People magazine, actress Kate Parkinson discussed her work on the upcoming fantasy series. She praised the charming child actors and exciting filming locations from Season 1, and hinted that her character will have a more significant part to play in Season 2.
After playing a villain in the James Bond film Casino Royale, Mads Mikkelsen became known for his portrayal of Dr. Hannibal Lecter in the Hannibal television series, which aired on NBC from April 2013 to August 2015.

This trend largely defined the decade’s cinematic landscape.
Stranger Things is one of Netflix’s biggest hits to date, but it wasn’t safe from criticism. Many found Stranger Things to be too “childish” or too aimed at a younger audience, but now Netflix has what can easily be Stranger Things for adults thanks to The Boroughs.

As a huge fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I have to say Gege Akutami is a master at shocking us with character deaths – they always hit so hard and come when you least expect it!
