The second season finale of Severance has dropped on Apple TV+, and without spoiling anything, the story does not seem over. Will the show return?

Well, Apple hasn't made an official announcement, but every sign points to "yes." To start, season 2 ended in a way that left tons of room for more story to be told. It would be crazy not to continue, especially given that the show is a big success; Severance has surpassed Ted Lasso to become the most popular show on Apple TV+. If it doesn't come back for season 3, Apple is leaving money on the table and big corporations don't like to do that.

Also, the producers have talked in a way that suggests they have more things planned. When star Adam Scott was asked how he hoped fans would react after the end of season 2, he said this: "I hope they'll say the exact same thing,...

2025 is shaping up to be spectacular for Godzilla, as Idw Publishing has multiple upcoming projects for everybody's favorite Kaiju, including an adventurous mini-series, a brand new anthology, and highly-anticipated Mothra series. In announcing those three series, Idw also promised more to come in a monstrously fun year, giving fans something to look forward to in the months ahead.

In an exclusive interview with Comicbook.com, Godzilla line editor Jake Williams sat down to discuss several of the exciting upcoming Kaiju projects on Idw's docket. The monstrous lizard has been a mainstay at Idw for a decade, but this new universe is something truly special – built from the ground up to have Godzilla at its heart.

Monster fans won't have to wait long to get their hands on the first few projects, either, since Godzilla: Heist, a mini-series, debuts February 19, and the Godzilla vs. America anthology and Mothra: Queen of the Monsters...

Next year, Godzilla will embark upon a tour of destruction across the United States, in a new miniseries from Idw Publishing appropriately entitled Godzilla vs. America. As revealed by the publisher, the midwestern metropolis of Chicago is the first on the King of Monsters' list of stops to make but far from the last.

At this year's New York Comic-Con, Idw announced Godzilla vs. America, starting with Godzilla vs. Chicago. As of now, specifics about the series are scarce, but what fans do know makes this a massively anticipated project for next year.

Godzilla vs. America will be an anthology book, with multiple stories per issue and each issue will be crafted by authors and artists who actually live in the city that Godzilla is ravaging. The creative team for the Chicago issue includes Caroline Cash, Mike Costa, Tim Seely, and more.

Exclusive: Adam Goldworm’s Aperture Entertainment has signed Kyle McConaghy and Joe DeBoer, a Missouri filmmaking duo whose acclaimed horror thriller Dead Mail will soon have its Canadian premiere in the Midnight Madness section of the Toronto Film Festival.

A mainstay on the genre festival circuit since its premiere this year at SXSW, Dead Mail has won a number of awards, including Best Film and Best Director at UK Fright Fest, and is currently rated 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Still in search of distribution, the film watches as an ominous help note finds its way to a 1980s post office, connecting a dead letter investigator to a kidnapped keyboard technician.

Prince Otherone's tragic backstory as Apex is explored in Wolverine Annual #1, showcasing his guilt over destroying his planet. Apex, backed by the Power Stone, struggles with the weight of his actions while seeking closure through the Soul Stone. Wolverine mentors Apex on dealing with guilt, offering a poignant lesson on balancing the scales and doing more good as a hero.

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Wolverine Annual #1!It hasn't been long at all since Apex debuted, and he's already got a more tragic backstory than some of the iconic heroes of the Marvel Universe. Fashioning himself as the most powerful hero in the cosmos, much like a certain Master of the Universe, Apex is the current holder of the Power Stone. None of this, however, makes up for the fact that he's backed by a horrible tragedy.

Prince Otherone, formerly known as the Prince of Power, has re-branded himself as the...

Wolverine's first love Rose O'Hara returns, as the Soul Stone summons her ghost. Rose forgives Wolverine for killing her in Origin, telling him she knows it was an accident and she never blamed him. It's a major moment of closure for Wolverine - now he just needs to track down his brother.

More than two decades after fans finally found out Wolverine's origin, Logan finally has closure over a death that's been haunting him for most of his life. Thanks to Weapon X's brainwashing, Wolverine's past was a mystery for the majority of his time with the X-Men. However, following Scarlet Witch tampering with reality in House of M, Wolverine's memories were finally restored. Fans then learned the horrifying foundational experiences that created the Wolverine, including the tragic death of Rose O'Hara.

Warning: Contains preview images for Wolverine Annual #1!The list of people that Wolverine hates is not a short one, and now a new name has just been added to the roster. Unluckily, he's one of the strongest heroes in Marvel Comics currently, and he's taken it upon himself to fight Wolverine to the death. It's none other than Apex, the cosmic wielder of an Infinity Stone, and that Power Stone within him is drawn to Logan.

The heroes fused with the Infinity Stones have returned in Marvel's ongoing The Infinity Watch storyline, with the latest installment appearing in Wolverine Annual...

Universal Pictures has released all three of filmmaker Jordan Peele’s directing efforts to date – Get Out, Us, and Nope. And their working relationship is going to continue with the fourth movie Peele will be directing, a project that is, so far, only known as Untitled Fourth Film Directed by Jordan Peele. In early 2023, Universal announced that they would be releasing Peele’s fourth film on Wednesday, December 25, 2024… but the strikes that hit Hollywood last year threw Peele off track and the movie was removed from Universal’s release schedule. Now it’s back on there, as Deadline reports that Universal is aiming to get Peele’s fourth film into theatres on October 23, 2026. What was once meant to be a Christmas release will now be arriving just in time for Halloween!

While we wait to see Peele’s next directorial effort, he’s also producing the horror film Him, which...

The most coveted artefacts in the known universe have resurfaced in the Marvel Universe, and this time, they're going to be bonded to the very bodies and souls of Marvel's up-and-coming heroes and villains.

For the Mad Titan, that just makes his hunt for them all the more sweeter. Across nine annuals starting with June's Thanos Annual #1, we'll witness the latest cosmos-shattering Infinity Saga as celebrated icons and new fan favourites battle it out to contain - or control - the limitless power of the Infinity Stones in this summer's Infinity Watch event.

The crossover will be spearheaded by acclaimed writer Derek Landy (Captain America/Iron Man). In addition to writing key chapters of the event, he'll team up with artist Sara Pichelli on backup stories in each of the nine annuals that follow the creation and pursuit of the mysterious Death Stone-bearer who will be revealed in Thanos Annual...

Universal Pictures has released all three of filmmaker Jordan Peele’s directing efforts to date – Get Out, Us, and Nope – and they’re working with him on his fourth film as well, a project that is, so far, only known as Untitled Fourth Film Directed by Jordan Peele. At one time, Universal had announced that they would be releasing Peele’s fourth film on Wednesday, December 25, 2024… but that plan has since changed. The film has been removed from Universal’s release schedule, and during a recent interview on the Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend podcast Peele confirmed that the change in release plans is due to the strikes that hit Hollywood last year. Peele is still working on the project – and he thinks it could out to be his favorite of the films he has made.

Jordan Peele says his upcoming fourth film has the potential to be his favorite, given the success of his previous acclaimed movies. The release date of Peele's fourth directorial feature is uncertain due to setbacks, including the writer's strike and the Actors' and Writers' strikes. Peele keeps details about his projects under wraps, but he has other exciting projects lined up, including a collaboration on a video game and a reboot of Wes Craven's The People Under the Stairs.

This will excite horror fans: filmmaker Jordan Peele says his anticipated upcoming fourth film has the potential to be his favorite. Given Peele's previous efforts — the critically lauded Get Out, Us, and Nope — it's a promising statement. Peele's fourth directorial feature was slated for a Christmas Day 2024 release, but the Actors' and Writers' strikes postponed the project. While no release date is currently confirmed, Peele teases that the project is "clear" to him.

Nope director Jordan Peele insists his mysterious fourth movie might be his "favorite" one to make as he looks to follow up on his acclaimed series of thrillers.

Appearing on the Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend podcast, Peele teased his untitled film, suggesting he has a "clear" vision for what he wants to create as he follows up on his success from Get Out, Us and Nope. Though he remains tight-lipped about the pending project, Peele said, “I do feel like my next project is clear to me, and I’m psyched that I have another film that, you know, could be my favorite movie if I make it right.”

Universal Pictures has released all three of filmmaker Jordan Peele’s directing efforts to date – Get Out, Us, and Nope. And their working relationship is going to continue with the fourth movie Peele will be directing, a project that is, so far, only known as Untitled Fourth Film Directed by Jordan Peele. Nine months ago, Universal announced that they would be releasing Peele’s fourth film on Wednesday, December 25, 2024… but that plan has since changed. World of Reel reports that Universal has removed the film from its 2024 release slate, and it looks likely to be bumped to a date sometime in 2025.

One major reason why Universal and Peele may have decided to change the release date is the fact that they had been hoping to get the film into production this past summer – something they weren’t able to do because of the Hollywood strike that brought most productions to...

Wes Craven's 1991 horror hit "The People Under The Stairs" evades easy description. It's a movie that's at once chaotic, insightful, campy, hilarious, horrifying, and weird as hell. There are images in the movie that are impossible to unsee, and ideas about race and capitalism that felt prescient in the '90s and are more relevant than ever now.

"The People Under The Stairs" has been overdue for a remake and it's only fitting that it's finally in the works courtesy of the new master of social commentary-filled thrillers, Jordan Peele. Peele's production company Monkeypaw is at work on an update to Craven's original, and while there's still a lot we don't know about "The People Under the Stairs," we're creeping into the shadows to bring you all the details we can on this fresh take on a very freaky story. Here's everything we know so far.
