The fourth season of The Witcher is supposed to arrive at some point this year, but as we inch past the half-way mark it's beginning to feel like that is becoming less and less of a possibility. Thus far, Netflix hasn't shared so much as a single teaser for the next season even though fans are eager to find out more, especially since it will see Liam Hemsworth stepping into Henry Cavill's shoes as the fabled monster hunter Geralt of Rivia.

In the meantime, those of you craving a new dark fantasy show to fill the void will find that there are plenty out there, many of which are also available on Netflix. The following list highlights nine dark fantasy shows worth watching if you enjoy The Witcher.

Fear is an upcoming British crime thriller drama series created by Mick Ford. Based on the 2013 novel of the same name by Dirk Kurbjuweit, the Prime Video series follows a couple as they move from London to Glasgow with their two children to look for a fresh start. Their fresh start soon turns into a nightmare because of a neighbor.

Prime Video has released the official trailer for the three-part psychological thriller series, ‘Fear,’ about a family pushed to their absolute limits.

Excited to make a fresh start away from London, Martyn (Martin Compston) and Rebecca (Anjli Mohindra) move into a beautiful house in Glasgow with their two young children. At first the new home seems idyllic, but when their neighbour Jan (Solly McLeod) makes unnerving comments to Rebecca it turns out to be the start of something far more intimidating. Facing accusations that are every parent’s worst nightmare, and with the authorities refusing to step in, Martyn and Rebecca feel they have nowhere to turn to for help.

For years now, rumors have swirled that two "Game of Thrones" stars — Lena Headey, who played Cersei Lannister, and Jerome Flynn, who played Bronn — wouldn't appear together on-screen after a terrible breakup in real life. So is it true?

It's not, according to Flynn himself. During a 2019 appearance at Con of Thrones in Nashville, Flynn addressed the rumors and said that, contrary to what he'd heard, the two were on fine terms. "We were actually in the same scene together, and the last time I saw Lena we were speaking, so I wouldn't believe everything you read, and like I said, [the media] can get pretty desperate for stories," Flynn said before praising Headey: "Lena is a wonderful person and a wonderful actress. I think the world of her."

So why did these rumors surface in the first place? During the season 7 finale of "Game of Thrones," titled "The Dragon and the Wolf,...

Three brothers and their bullying father go on a fateful outing in this subtle and twisty Scottish tale

Low-budget but relatively hefty in impact, this Scottish thriller revolves around three adult brothers and their father who go on a hunting trip none of them will forget. If you’re deeply spoiler adverse, stop reading now because the opening twist is pretty nifty; for those who wish to know a little more, here goes. Minutes into the film we work out that Don (Paul Higgins), the patriarch of the family, is an abusive bully who constantly belittles and humiliates his three boys, especially when they fail to prove their manliness by shooting defenceless forest animals. Middle son John (Brian Vernel) seems to crack and turns the rifle on Don, who promptly mocks him further, goading John to pull the trigger. Instead, eldest son Henry shoots Don instead as the youngest, Vince...

Betrayal tells the harrowing story of three brothers—John, Henry, and Vince—who band together to exact revenge on their abusive father after years of suffering under his cruel rule. Set in the remote Scottish Highlands, the film paints a distressing portrait of domestic violence through Rodger Griffiths’ taut direction and deeply felt performances from the talented cast.

Daniel Portman, Brian Vernel, and Calum Ross give raw, compelling turns as the brothers aiming to rid themselves forever of their tyrannical dad, played with chilling menace by veteran actor Paul Higgins. Suffice it to say, this is no ordinary father-son drama. After their beloved mother’s tragic death, the brothers reach their breaking point and hatch a plan to lure the man into the woods on a hunting trip, with murder in mind. But as they quickly discover, retaliation often breeds more retaliation, and long-buried secrets threaten to destroy the fragile trust holding their alliance together.

In Betrayal, three desperate brothers return to the remote Scottish woodland where they killed their abusive father only to discover his shallow grave is now empty, forcing them to question each other’s loyalty as fear and paranoia set in.

The movie stars Paul Higgins, Brian Vernel, Daniel Portman, Calum Ross, Anita Vettesse, James Harkness, and Joanne Thomson, and is an absolute must-watch. While not a traditional "horror movie" per se, it will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish and features powerhouse performances from its impressive cast.

Ross is fantastic in the movie and, for those of you familiar with his work from Netflix's Wednesday or on stage in the West End as part of Stranger Things: The First Shadow, you can expect yet another stellar portrayal of an incredibly complex character here.

When we caught up with the actor last week, we...

Kaleidoscope Entertainment is gearing up for the release of the highly anticipated Scottish thriller Kill, hitting cinemas on 13th September. Produced by Synchronicity Films, the film showcases the best of Scottish filmmaking, featuring a gripping story of betrayal, violence, and survival set against the haunting backdrop of rural Scotland. With a nearly all-Scottish cast, Kill is poised to deliver a cinematic experience as intense as the rugged landscapes in which it was filmed.

Shot on location at an estate in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, Kill brings the beauty and menace of the Scottish wilderness to the big screen. Officially selected for the 2023 Edinburgh Film Festival, the film has already received glowing reviews from critics, with The Herald praising it as “Taught and Original” and Loud and Clear declaring it a “Non-Stop Thriller.”

The plot follows three brothers, played by Daniel Portman (Game of Thrones), Brian Vernel, and Calum Ross (Wednesday), who...

Last week, we sat down with Higgins to learn more about how he approached the role of Don, the twisted patriarch of Betrayal's family who is one of the most evil characters we've seen on screen in quite some time.

"I was very intrigued by it," the actor tells us in the video below when we wondered...

"Family secrets don't stay buried." The truth will be dug up! Saban Films has revealed an official trailer for an indie film titled Betrayal from Scotland, made by filmmaker Rodger Griffiths. This originally premiered at the 2023 Edinburgh Film Festival last year under the title Kill, though now there's another action movie this year called Kill instead. Three desperate brothers return to the remote Scottish woodland where they killed their abusive father only to discover his shallow grave is now empty, forcing them to question each another's loyalty as fear and paranoia set in. What happened...? Are there even more secrets? Betrayal stars Paul Higgins, Brian Vernel, Daniel Portman, Calum Ross, Joanne Thomson, Anita Vettesse, and James Harkness.

Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon show the present and past of Westeros and the plethora of characters that live in the realm. Olivia Cooke is finding fame by her side again as House of the Dragon gears up for its second season, but that isn’t all.

A lot of fans, however, cannot figure out the difference between reality and fiction. Stars from Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon series know this inside-out and that is what Olivia Cooke was afraid of before she joined the franchise!

Updated with confirmation from the team. Motherwell Fc has confirmed that former Netflix and ESPN exec Erik Barmack and wife, Courtney, a former longtime YouTube exec, are bidding to become the Scottish soccer team’s newest investors.

Chairman Jim McMahon shared the news, which follows media reports earlier this spring, in an investment update. He said the team’s fans, who already own the club, will be able to vote in July on whether to allow the Barmacks to make a projected £1.95M ($2.48M) investment over a six-year period.

In a letter to fans included with McMahon’s overview, the Barmacks identified a number of opportunities for growth, including one obvious one given their CVs. After leaving his post overseeing international originals at Netflix in 2019, Erik Barmack became CEO of production shingle Wild Sheep Content. Courtney Barmack, currently a senior exec at Snap Inc., spent 12 years at YouTube and worked at Google prior to that.

House of the Dragon season 2 won't just be following Game of Thrones season 2's formula. Game of Thrones season 2 was more like another season 1, with a huge amount of major new characters and locations introduced. House of the Dragon's story will be faster-paced, and remain focused on the characters from season 1.

House of the Dragon season 2 wont be following the same formula as Game of Thrones season 2, and it makes me more excited about the prequels sophomore outing. The spinoff had some broad similarities in season 1, with a lot of table dressing in service of the wars to come, and a major twist towards the end of the season. House of the Dragon season 1s ending wasnt quite Ned Stark gets beheaded levels of shocking, but Aemond Targaryen and Vhagar killing Lucerys Velaryon was brutal nonetheless.

House of the Dragon season 2 will be building on from that moment -...

Netflix’s “Black Mirror” returns to the Emmy Awards after a four-year break with its sixth season that premiered back in June 2023. The trajectory of the Charlie Brooker anthology series at the Emmys has been a tumultuous journey, particularly in recent years. The science-fiction dystopia used to dominate the limited/movie genre, winning Best Television Movie for three consecutive years at its height, before the Television Academy ruled that it must compete for the drama categories for its fifth season in 2020, ending its streak. Then the following year, the top category for limited series was changed to Best Limited or Anthology Series, placing “Black Mirror” back into the genre, but in the more competitive limited series race rather than the standalone television movies.

Despite the many radical switches, the program has managed an impressive eight wins out of 14 nominations overall. With its new string of six anthology episodes that star various actors including Salma Hayek,...

Saban Films has acquired North American rights to the British thriller “Kill,” starring Paul Higgins, Brian Vernel, Daniel Portman, Calum Ross (“Wednesday”), Anita Vettesse, James Harkness and Joanne Thomson (“The Victim”).

The film, which explores the history of violence, the power of family and the dangers of revenge, marks the feature directorial debut of Rodger Griffiths, who devised the story and co-wrote the screenplay with Rob Drummond.

“Kill” follows a hunting trip that turns deadly when three brothers plot to murder their violent, abusive father. Determined to end the cycle of abuse that has already claimed their mother, the boys bury him in the forest. But returning later to the shallow grave, there is a problem. The body is not there. As fear and paranoia set in, the trio are forced to question each other’s loyalty, with devastating consequences.

The film, which first bowed at the Edinburgh Film Festival last year,...

The new fantasy feature “Man and Witch”, directed by Michael Hines stars Tami Stronach, Sean Astin, Christopher Lloyd, Tami Stronach, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Daniel Portman, Eddie Izzard, Michael Emerson and Jennifer Saunders, alongside Jim Henson puppets, teleasing Summer 2024 in theaters:

“…the new movie is an homage to fantasy films of the 1980's, featuring the cinema return of Tami Stronach, aka the ‘Childlike Empress’ from the feature “Neverending Story”…”

Fathom Events, the premier name in specialty distribution, is partnering with New York-based Paper Canoe Company to bring the new fantasy film Man and Witch: The Dance of a Thousand Steps to theaters nationwide this summer, we’ve learned this week.

Coinciding with the 40th Anniversary of The NeverEnding Story, the film marks the long-anticipated return to the big screen of that film’s iconic Childlike Empress, Tami Stronach, in her first film role since the Fantasy classic. The feature debut of veteran comedy director Michael Hines (the long-running Scottish cult comedy Still Game), Man and Witch is a labor of love from producer and star Stronach and her husband, co-star, and the film’s writer Greg Steinbruner.

Exclusive: Fathom Events has acquired the fantasy throwback film Man and Witch: The Dance of a Thousand Steps, set to be released nationwide in theaters sometime this summer.

The project marks the return to the big screen for The NeverEnding Story star Tami Stronach, who played the Childlike Empress in that 1984 fantasy film. In Man and Witch she portrays the titular witch alongside her husband Greg Steinbruner, who stars as the titular man.

A passion project for the couple, Man and Witch—inspired by their own love story— was produced under their Paper Canoe Company banner, with Steinbruner also serving as screenwriter. And to make it a complete family affair, the couple’s daughter Maya also stars in a role that’s described as a “powerful being who is not of this world.”

Throughout its eight seasons, Game of Thrones always had a lot going on. With several ongoing conflicts and characters spread across the world, all competing for the ultimate goal of sitting on the Iron Throne, there was always something to watch. Yet even the massive scale of the story didn't prevent some wasted time. Several scenes are just not important enough to the overall plot to justify their presence. While some of these unnecessary moments are at least entertaining, like Podrick Payne's (Daniel Portman) inexplicable talent in the pleasure houses, others don't even provide a laugh, often leaning into the graphic sex or overwhelming violence that gives the show its reputation. It's unrealistic to expect every moment to be fully relevant to the overarching plot, but there should be standards. Some scenes are more than irrelevant, going as far as to hurt the show. The worst offender takes place in the Season 4 episode,...

Black Mirror is coming back. Netflix renewed the fan-favorite dystopian show for Season Seven after its triumphant return in June after four years.

According to Netflix, the Charlie Brooker-created show reached the Top 10 in 92 countries with its latest season. Casting has yet to be confirmed, Variety reports.

Season Six included five episodes, which featured a star-studded lineup of actors. Salma Hayek, Michael Cera, and Annie Murphy starred in Joan Is Awful, while Loch Henry saw Daniel Portman and John Hannah, and Beyond the Sea featured Aaron Paul and Kate Mara.

In the wake of five brand new nightmares that premiered earlier this year as part of the show’s sixth season, Variety is reporting that Netflix has ordered up “Black Mirror” Season 7!

The website reports, “No casting has been confirmed yet for Season 7 but Variety understands the show is set to go into production later this year with Charlie Brooker, Annabel Jones and Jessica Rhodes believed to be returning as executive producers.

“Plot details and number of episodes are still being kept under wraps.”

Kaleidoscope Film Distribution have snapped up Scottish thriller “Kill” for the U.K. market and are set to launch international sales at AFM.

The debut feature from creator, director and co-writer Rodger Griffiths, “Kill” is a story of violence, family and revenge. It follows three desperate brothers who “return to the woods where they shot and buried their abusive father, only to find his shallow grave empty,” reads the logline. “Now, someone is hunting them.” Rob Drummond co-wrote the film, which premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in August.

Paul Higgins (“Line of Duty”), Brian Vernel (“Star Wars: The Force Awakens”) and Daniel Portman (“Game of Thrones”) star alongside Calum Ross (“Wednesday”), Anita Vettesse (“Outlander”), James Harkness (“Darkest Hour”) and Joanne Thomson (“The Victim”).

It is produced by Lee Brazier (“Yesterday”) of Mr B Films and Synchronicity Films’ Claire Mundell in association with Great Point Media and Wild Sheep.

Mistborn, one of the most popular fantasy book series, is in discussions for a Hollywood film adaptation, and the main cast will be essential to its success. Dafne Keen, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Daniel Portman, Djimon Hounsou, Jack Dylan Grazer, Lee Pace, Mark Addy, Gwendoline Christie, David Wenham, Ralph Fiennes, and Andy Serkis are suggested fancast actors who can perfectly portray the beloved characters in Mistborn. These actors have shown their skills in playing complex, charismatic, and diverse characters, making them fitting choices for bringing the dynamic and intriguing world of Mistborn to life on the big screen.

Mistborn is one of the most popular fantasy book series of the 21st century, and it's shocking that it hasn't been made into a movie yet, especially since there are a number of actors who would be perfectly cast in adaptation. Brandon Sanderson is an acclaimed and record-breaking author best known for Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive,...

Warning: The following contains Major Spoilers for Black Mirror season 6.

Black Mirror season 6 has delivered exceptional and not-so-great moments in its highly-anticipated return. The critically-acclaimed Netflix series added five new installments to its impressive anthological episodes, each featuring an inventive and cautionary tale of society, human nature, and the negative effects of various technologies. Black Mirror has always contained unique perspectives and innovative narratives that reveal the dark sides of scientific advancements and their potentially dangerous effects on individuals, relationships, and corporations. Typically set in a near-distant future, Black Mirror reflects the potentially hazardous downsides of a plugged-in world.

While Black Mirror season 6 rankings from worst to best may vary from person to person, each episode possesses its specific list of pros and cons that collectively advance the Black Mirror universe in a promising direction. As a whole, Black Mirror season 6 has faced mild scrutiny for failing to capture the...

The Black Mirror episode “Loch Henry” not only features one of the most shocking twists of season 6, it also has arguably one of the most beautiful and picturesque settings of the series thus far. Despite the haunting air that envelops the town near the titular loch, as Davis (Samuel Blenkin) shows Pia (Myha’la Herrold) around his former home, it’s easy to see why Loch Henry was once such a popular tourist hotspot.

Loch Henry and Davis’ hometown may be fictional, but according to actor Sam Blenkin during a press junket, the episode was shot at several real-life locations that he and the rest of the cast were “sort of blown away” by. Blenkin says “We shot about half an hour out of Glasgow, which I thought was amazing. So we were around Loch Lomond for a bit. And then we drove up the road to Arrochar and Inverarnan, which...

It was only a matter of time before “Black Mirror” came for the streaming industry, and Season 6 takes a couple of swings directly at Netflix right out of the gate. First with the star-studded, hyper-meta episode “Joan Is Awful,” which introduces the Netflix clone Streamberry (and an arsenal of Easter eggs and references therein). But Episode 2, “Loch Henry,” quiets things down to tackle a much more specific streaming ill — the soulless, exploitative true crime industrial complex and the constant stream of true crime docs digging up traumas from the past.

“Loch Henry” follows an aspiring filmmaker back to his Scottish hometown, where he intends to make a documentary about eggs, only to get sucked into making a film about the horrific crime case that transformed his hometown from a former tourist destination into a desolate ghost town. In “Black Mirror” tradition, the ensemble is a healthy mix of familiar faces,...

Played by Monica Dolan in her second Black Mirror role after season five’s “Smithereens”, Janet lives alone, surrounded by kitsch ornaments and home-recorded VHS tapes of 1980s cosy crime series Bergerac, in the remote Scottish town of Loch Henry.

When her student filmmaker son Davis (Samuel Blenkin) and his partner Pia (Myha’la Herrold) visit from London, it’s clear how unexciting and provincial they find Janet and her lifestyle. If only they knew.

Over the course of “Loch Henry”, Davis and Pia find out exactly who Janet is,...

Loch Henry is the second episode of season 6 of the popular series Black Mirror. Starring Samuel Blenkin and Myha’la Herrold, written Charlie Brooker and directed by Sam Miller, this episode blends traditional British storytelling with the new Netflix style that emerged after the streaming giant acquired the rights to the series.

Black Mirror: Loch Henry

The plot follows a couple who embark on a true crime documentary about local events, including murders, kidnappings, and a suicide. The story revolves around the discovery of what was found in the basement of a farmhouse, and although it is not heavily focused on technology, it does have elements of classic horror.

“Loch Henry” is an excellent episode that breaks away from the series’ tendency to parody technology. Instead, it presents a true crime documentary that reveals the dark secrets that were hidden in the basement and the crimes that occurred there. The...

In retrospect, it was probably inevitable that reality would catch up to Black Mirror. Not in the literal sense (we still don’t have cookies or grains, and thank goodness for that), but in a spiritual one. When the series launched in 2011, it stood out for its deep skepticism in the age of tech optimism. Now actual headlines about AI replacing human workers or entire democracies being upended by social media algorithms feel like the stuff of Black Mirror plotlines, much in the same way the Trump era outdid Veep and Peak TV brought some of 30 Rock’s most cynical gags to life.

Add to that the general sense that creator Charlie Brooker might be tiring of the whole exercise, going by season five’s uninspired entries, and it’s little wonder that the newest batch feel less prescient than they once did. But Black Mirror has one final...

This article contains spoilers for all Black Mirror season 6 castings but does not reveal episode endings or other big twists.

Four years and a global pandemic later, and the sci-fi anthology Black Mirror is finally returning to Netflix. According to Netflix, season 6 is set to be the “most unpredictable, unclassifiable and unexpected yet” of the series. As Black Mirror has taken off in popularity, the show has become almost as well-known for its A-list cast as it has for its satirical takes on our world. With stars like Miley Cyrus, Jesse Plemons, Daniel Kaluuya, Bryce Dallas Howard, and so many more appearing in the series over the years, its no surprise that season 6 is just as stacked as the rest.

While there’s still a lot we don’t know about some of the characters featured in this season’s five episodes, here’s what we’ve uncovered so far...

"Loch Henry" is the second episode of Black Mirror season 6, and the eerie tale features a small ensemble cast of noteworthy actors. In the episode, a pair of documentary filmmakers travel to a remote Scottish village to film the local nature but soon find themselves entangled in the story of the town's dark past. Penned by showrunner Charlie Brooker and directed by Sam Miller, the episode isn't as tech-centric as the usual Black Mirror fare, but "Loch Henry" puts its emphasis on the past in order to make commentary about issues in the present day.

Black Mirror first debuted back in 2011 and quickly garnered acclaim for its anthology style that drew comparisons to an updated version of The Twilight Zone. Black Mirror was eventually picked up as a Netflix exclusive, and it has gone on to become a more star-studded affair with each new season. Weaving tales of tech-gone-awry and dystopian futures,...

Black Mirror finally has a return date. Netflix announced a premiere date for the sixth season of the anthology series with the release of a teaser trailer. The anthology series, created by Charlie Brooker, returns with five new episodes later this month. Season five was released in June 2019.

"It has taken you over... and you must hungry in the face of it!" Netflix has launched a full official trailer for the latest season of the acclaimed sci-fi show Black Mirror, which one could very accurately describe as the Twilight Zone of these times. Creator Charlie Brooker is back again for the sixth season, writing and producing. There will be five new "films" for this next season, including horror and sci-fi and a nice meta one about a streaming service called "Streamberry". Ha ha.

Just when you thought it was safe to be on your phone again, the near-future sci-fi anthology series "Black Mirror" is returning to Netflix for season 6, with a star-studded cast and plenty more portents of doom.

Actually, though, this upcoming collection of stories won't just be another iteration of "what if phones, but too much."

The long-awaited return of Charlie Brooker’s Netflix anthology series is June 15, the series announced along with episode descriptions and the full official trailer on Wednesday.

The season is confirmed to be five episodes, which is two more installments than the last season that released back in summer of 2019.

In the official announcement about the Emmy-winning series’ return, Brooker said he “stretched the parameters” of what to expect from a Black Mirror episode for the forthcoming season. “I’ve always felt that Black Mirror should feature stories that are entirely distinct from one another, and keep surprising people (and myself) or else what’s the point? It should be a series that can’t be easily defined, and can keep reinventing itself. So partly as a challenge, and partly to keep things fresh for both me and the viewer, I began this...
