Although the picket line is likely to create more conflict around the Jonathan Majors film project, it’s not because of Majors himself. According to Deadline, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) is protesting on the South Carolina set due to disagreements about working conditions. Dallas Sonnier, a producer on the film, called the strike unjustified and hinted at the exciting, action-packed movie to come.

In a recent Q&A with D23, Danny Koo, executive producer of Marvel Rivals, explained that Loki will be central to the game’s ongoing story. The development team confirmed that their version of the God of Mischief is a key figure, driving a crossover storyline that connects directly to the events leading up to Doomsday. This is important because it suggests that while Doctor Doom is the major villain, Loki will be the one manipulating events behind the scenes.

We’re going to focus on one type of TV show – science fiction miniseries – to show how today’s options don’t always measure up to the past. Streaming services are constantly searching for the next big sci-fi hit, but many don’t really stand out. In the past, science fiction was a staple on channels like ABC, NBC, SyFy, and the BBC, and there were lots of fantastic, self-contained stories. Here are eight classic sci-fi miniseries that are better than most of what’s available on streaming services today.

Fantasy heroes come in all strengths, from incredibly fit humans to beings with godlike powers who can bend reality. Though no hero begins as a god, many discover amazing abilities as their story progresses, reaching their full potential at the most exciting moments.

In a first for Star Wars live-action shows, Season 2 of Ahsoka will continue the story immediately after the events of Season 1. No previous Star Wars series has ever done this – Ahsoka is breaking new ground by directly following its previous season.

Sometimes a TV show comes along that truly stands out and reshapes its genre, becoming a blueprint for others to follow. While strong reviews aren’t always necessary for this to happen, they certainly help, and Snowpiercer was a great example – especially in its first two seasons, which many compare to the show Silo.

Dr. Whitaker is taking over for Robby. Viewers already loved Whitaker from his appearances on The Pitt, and Robby chose him as his new protégé after a disagreement with Dr. Langdon. But Whitaker isn’t just a good fit because of his personality or his connection with Robby – he’s also stepped into Robby’s central role as the emotional core of PTMC.

From the beginning, it’s been clear that the upcoming Supergirl movie draws heavily from the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic book series. The film was originally going to share the comic’s name, but James Gunn, head of DC Studios, opted for simpler titles. Even so, the trailers show the movie is still strongly influenced by Woman of Tomorrow, while also hinting at a significant change to the character of Krypto.

This season, Coop balances a life of crime with a public persona as a successful businessman, leading him and others on a more intense adventure. The show keeps its signature dark humor, and although it starts a bit slowly, it eventually explores complex themes like getting older, finding meaning in life, and how easily good intentions can lead to dangerous consequences.

Even though viewers really enjoyed it, this 10-episode Netflix series has largely been forgotten over time, making it a hidden gem on the platform. At around 7.5 hours long, with each episode lasting between 38 and 55 minutes, it’s a perfect thriller to watch in a single weekend – especially considering it originally came out six years ago and deserves more attention.
