As a huge movie fan, I can tell you there’s nothing quite like the excitement when everyone’s waiting for a new trailer from Marvel or DC. Studios rarely give us much warning, so even a hint of a release date turns into a massive guessing game online. And honestly, I think the studios love it! When people are actively begging for a glimpse of the next film, it means everyone’s already paying attention. They don’t have to work as hard to get us hyped – we’re already doing their work for them!

Let’s be real, sometimes you don’t want to start a huge, multi-season show. Sometimes you just need to relax on a Saturday when you’re tired and unmotivated. You want something enjoyable with a clear beginning and end – something you can finish in an afternoon and maybe even chat about at dinner. That’s why we’ve put together 10 shows that are perfect for a single viewing. They’re all easily finished in eight hours or less.

Popular books like Robert McCammon’s Swan’s Song and Rebecca Yarros’ Fourth Wing are being made into movies or TV shows, but it will take some time before we can watch them. Adapting novels for the screen, particularly in genres like science fiction and fantasy, is a lengthy and costly undertaking.

Jonathan Frakes started directing while still acting as Commander William Riker on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Over the course of his career, he’s directed a total of 31 episodes across various Star Trek series – including Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Discovery, Picard, and Strange New Worlds – as well as the films Star Trek: First Contact and Star Trek: Insurrection.

The first case for Jessica Knight’s new ELITE team begins with Bishop being pursued by the squad. Knowing her career and secret operation are at risk, Wickersham’s character turns to Nick Torres for help, even though they haven’t spoken much since their difficult split five years prior. This leads to Bishop reconnecting with the rest of the MCRT, offering a chance to address the hurt feelings surrounding her departure at the end of NCIS season 18.

At first, Neon Genesis Evangelion seems like a typical mecha anime, using many familiar ideas. But it quickly takes a much darker and more depressing turn, becoming a psychologically intense horror-drama that divides viewers. As the story progresses, the fun action sequences fade away, replaced by the director Hideaki Anno’s own struggles and exhaustion, which he poured into the story of the world’s end. This is why the anime’s ending is so controversial, even though Neon Genesis Evangelion is a highly regarded series.

While the ending of No Way Home was dramatic, it presented a challenge for future Spider-Man movies. Even though Peter Parker is now seemingly alone, Zendaya (as MJ) and Jacob Batalon (as Ned) are still confirmed to appear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The most recent rumors about Sadie Sink joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe could be a clever way to address this situation and move the story forward.

Beau Willimon, the creator behind shows like Andor and House of Cards, has written a script for HBO about Aegon I Targaryen. While House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms are great additions to the Game of Thrones universe, this story of Aegon’s Conquest is the kind of expansion fans have been hoping for—and it has the potential to dramatically reshape the entire franchise.

Originally developed as Scary Movie 6, the latest film is simply titled Scary Movie. It’s the sixth movie in the Scary Movie series, continuing the story after the 2013 release of Scary Movie 5, and marks the first time the Wayans family has been involved since the 2001 film, Scary Movie 2.
