Last June, it was announced that Evil Dead Rise director Lee Cronin had signed on to write and direct a new genre project for Atomic Monster, Blumhouse Productions, and New Line Cinema… and in December, we found out what that mysterious project is, as it was revealed that Cronin has come up with a new take on the concept of The Mummy! Cronin confirmed, “This will be unlike any Mummy movie you ever laid eyeballs on before. I’m digging deep into the earth to raise something very ancient and very frightening.” The film is set to reach theatres on April 17, 2026, and while producer Jason Blum confirmed on social media that production had started back on March 24th, Cronin took to his own social media account to announce that production wrapped a few weeks ago. But we’re still getting cast news, as it was recently revealed that Hayat Kamille...

Lee Cronin‘s The Mummy wrapped production a couple weeks ago, but Deadline just learned that Hayat Kamille (“Vikings: Valhalla”) is part of the cast.

Jack Reynor (Midsommar) and Laia Costa (“The Wheel of Time”) star in the fresh take on the classic monster, opening April 17, 2026 via Warner Bros.

May Calamawy (“Moon Knight”), Veronica Falcón (“Ozark”), May Elghety (Clash), Natalie Grace (“1923”), Shylo Molina (“The Afterparty”), and Billie Roy (Spirit Halloween: The Movie) round out the cast.

Cronin directs from his own script, reuniting with Evil Dead Rise director of photography David Garbett.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but Cronin previously said, “This will be unlike any Mummy movie you ever laid eyeballs on before. I’m digging deep into the earth to raise something very ancient and very frightening.”

The project is the first under the recent Blumhouse-Atomic Monster merger, with the companies producing and co-financing for New Line Cinema.

Exclusive: Lee Cronin’s The Mummy has cast Hayat Kamille in the Atomic Monster/Blumhouse production for New Line with Warner Bros Motion Picture Group.

The Wild Cherry and Vikings: Valhalla actress joins the already set cast of Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Natalie Grace, Shylo Molina, Billie Roy, Veronica Falcon and May Elghety.

The plot is under wraps (no pun intended). The movie will hit theaters on April 17, 2026.

Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is produced by James Wan, Jason Blum and John Keville, with writer-director Cronin also serving as executive producer under his Doppelgängers banner. Michael Clear and Judson Scott are also executive producers.

Kamille recently shot the series-regular role of Maryam in Nicôle Lecky’s Wild Cherry for BBC One. She currently stars as one of the series regular roles Mariam in the latest series of Vikings: Valhalla, created by Jeb Stuart for Netflix.

Cronin also shared the first behind-the-scenes photo from the movie's set. Although it's not particularly revealing, it does give us a look at the project's official logo on the back of a director's chair along with what appears to be the titular monster's resting place.

The Mummy reboot is set to star Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, Veronica Falcón, May Calamawy, and May Elghety. No details on any of the characters they'll play have been disclosed.

Filming has officially finished on The Mummy, a new horror movie from director Lee Cronin. The film is set to hit theaters on April 17, 2026. Cronin, who made a big splash with Evil Dead Rise, is now taking on one of the most well-known monsters in film history. The project is being made by New Line Cinema, with Blumhouse and James Wan’s Atomic Monster also producing.

Jack Reynor from Midsommar stars in the movie, along with Laia Costa, Verónica Falcón, May Calamawy, and May Elghety. Natalie Grace is also in the cast.

One of the most iconic movie monsters of all time is getting rebooted and the man behind the film just gave us a major update on its progress: Horror auteur Lee Croninhas announced that filming on his upcoming horror film The Mummyhas wrapped. The New Line Cinema film is set to hit theaters in less than a year, so the fact that filming is complete is good news for fans of the classic monster.

Cronin announced the news on his Instagram page, sharing a photo of his director's chair with a caption stating simply, "All wrapped up." Details on the film are still slim, but we know that it is set to star Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, Verónica Falcón, and May Calamawy, with Reynor presumably playing the titular mummy (though this hasn't been confirmed). But what is clear is that this film will pick up the legacy of the Mummy films before it,...

Lee Cronin's The Mummy reboot is all wrapped up, just like its titular monster. The filmmaker has revealed that production has concluded on the hotly anticipated Blumhouse movie.

Cronin shared a picture of his director's chair on Instagram yesterday afternoon with the caption, "All wrapped up." While it's tough to surmise, it looks like the image was taken on the set for The Mummy, specifically the tomb where the titular monster might be found by Jack Reynor and Laia Costa's married couple, who reportedly will run afoul of supernaturally sinister forces throughout the reboot. Production on The Mummy began in Ireland and Spain in late March, meaning that the movie had a three-month shoot.

The cast of Lee...

“The Wheel of Time” has run out its run at Prime Video. The Rosamund Pike-led adaptation of the fantasy novel series by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson will not return for Season 4 at the streaming platform, TheWrap has learned.

The news comes after Prime Video announced the renewal of its other big-budget drama series “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” for Season 3. Amid industry contraction, high-budget fantasy dramas seem prone for the chopping block across linear and streaming. “The Wheel of Time” is believed to have been too expensive to justify given its viewership performance.

“The Wheel Of Time” launched strong, becoming Prime Video’s most-watched series premiere of 2021 and one of the platform’s top debuts of all time. Season 3 saw its viewership slip, leaving Nielsen’s top 10 originals chart after three weeks, before making one last appearance after the launch of its finale.

“The Wheel of Time” stars Pike,...

Exclusive: Prime Video will not be renewing The Wheel of Time for a fourth season. The decision, which comes more than a month after the Season 3 finale was released April 17, followed lengthy deliberations. As often is the case in the current economic environment, the reasons were financial as the series is liked creatively by the streamer’s executives.

The TV adaptation of the book series by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson, co-produced by Sony Pictures TV and Amazon MGM Studios, is a high-end, pricey fantasy drama, which ushered in the genre on Prime Video, later joined by The Lord Of the Rings: The Rings Of Power.

Starring Rosamund Pike, The Wheel Of Time got off to a strong start in 2021 as Prime Video’s most watched series premiere of the year and one of the platform’s Top 5 series launches of all time.

Three seasons in, the series has remained...

Natalie Grace (“1923”), Shylo Molina (“The Afterparty”), and Billie Roy (Spirit Halloween: The Movie) have been cast in Lee Cronin‘s The Mummy, Deadline reports.

Jack Reynor (Midsommar) and Laia Costa (“The Wheel of Time”) star with May Calamawy (“Moon Knight”), Veronica Falcón (“Ozark”), and May Elghety (Clash).

Production is currently underway in Spain and Ireland on the fresh take on the classic monster, which opens on April 17, 2026 via Warner Bros.

Cronin is directing from his own script and reuniting with Evil Dead Rise director of photography David Garbett.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but Cronin previously said, “This will be unlike any Mummy movie you ever laid eyeballs on before. I’m digging deep into the earth to raise something very ancient and very frightening.”

Exclusive: We hear that 1923 actress Natalie Grace has joined the cast of Atomic Monster and Blumhouse’s Lee Cronin’s The Mummy along with young thespians Shylo Molina and Billie Roy.

The pic, which stars Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, Veronica Falcón, May Calamawy and May Elghety, is currently lensing in Spain and Ireland. Cronin is at the helm as both writer and director, and producing under his Doppelgängers banner. Pic’s logline is under wraps (ba-dum chsh!).

The New Line movie hits theaters April 17, 2026.

James Wan, Jason Blum and John Keville are producers on the film. Michael Clear and Judson Scott serve as executive producers.

Grace starred opposite Brandon Sklenar in Paramount+’s Taylor Sheridan series 1923 in the role of Hildy. She also plays the The Princess in Adrien Boubil’s fantasy medieval movie Raymar. Grace is represented by Carol Shaginaw Talent Agency and DreamScope Entertainment.

This article contains Spoilers for The Wheel of Time books, up through book 5, The Fires of Heaven.

The third season of The Wheel of Time is at an end, which means it's now time to look ahead. Over the course of eight episodes, Prime Video's fantasy series based on the beloved books by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson blew us away with its ambitious story, spectacular magic, vast cast of memorable characters, and shocking twists and turns. It wasn't only a solid adaptation of Jordan's book The Shadow Rising, but an excellent season of television all around.

So what comes next? The Wheel of Time season 3 laid the groundwork for a number of major plotlines from the fifth and sixth books in the series, The Fires of Heaven and Lord of Chaos. Given that the climactic ending of Lord of Chaos serves as something of a mid-point for the overarching narrative of the books,...

This article contains Spoilers for The Wheel of Time book series through book 11, Knife of Dreams.

Last week, we reported on a curious development in the ongoing story of The Wheel of Time. During the show's third season, showrunner Rafe Judkins confirmed that the show has already introduced a secret member of the Forsaken, the ancient channelers sworn to the Shadow who serve as some of the primary antagonists for the series.

"We’ve definitely laid the pieces for a few Forsaken to appear in next season who are new and maybe not so new that you will be excited to see on screen," Judkins toldThe Hollywood Reporter.

Over on The Dusty Wheel, Judkins was asked point blank if there are any Forsaken who have been introduced in the show who will "remain unmasked' through season 3. "I mean you know that there are," Judkins replied. "Listen...I don't want to give too much away.

Universal Pictures owns the rights to a series of iconic horror characters from different classic novels, including Frankenstein's Monster, The Mummy, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Invisible Man, Count Dracula, and others. Many have been successfully adapted in the classic era, but Universal has struggled with its remakes.

The latest Universal Monsters project was Wolf Man, which premiered in early 2025. The horror film had a lot of potential, as the studio was still basking in the success of 2020's The Invisible Man, and had hired the same director, Leigh Whannell, for the project. Although Wolf Man didn't live up to expectations, both critically and commercially, it has become a hit on Peacock following its recent release on streaming, per FlixPatrol.

Wolf Man debuted on Peacock on April 18 after its release in theaters on Jan. 17. It didn't take long for the horror film to claw its way to the...

The third season of The Wheel of Time ended with a pair of back-to-back bangers: first came "Goldeneyes," which featured a huge battle scene in the Two Rivers. Then we got the finale, "He Who Comes With The Dawn," which brought several plotlines to thrilling climaxes.

These episodes also included some major swerves from The Wheel of Time books, especially when it came to killing off major characters. (Turn back now if you don't want Spoilers.) In "Goldeneyes," gentle giant Loial (Hammed Animashaun) apparently plunged to his death while trying to keep an army of Trollocs from using a Waygate to invade the Two Rivers. And in the finale, we got two unexpected deaths: the Forsaken sorceress Moghedien (Laia Costa) killed fellow Forsaken Sammael (Cameron Jack) in an act of villain-on-villain crime. And in the biggest surprise of all, Siuan Sanche (Sophie Okonedo), the leader of the Aes Sedai, was...

Let’s just say it: The Wheel of Time’s third season was its best so far.

So, why in the world hasn’t Amazon done the smart thing and gotten the ball moving on the next season yet?

First, it has to be said that the show has only gotten more amazing and exciting as the series has progressed. Of course, that’s obvious since the show is still going.

Unfortunately, the streamer has not given The Wheel of Time the green light to proceed with Season 4. That is baffling, considering the show’s renewal track record.

Not to mention the immersive story that pulls you in right from the start, and The Wheel of Time Season 3 had one of the most epic openings to a season yet.

The Rookie Season 7 Episode 15’s True Crime Doc Is Heavy on Convoluted Connections and Light on Chenfordby...

The Wheel of Time season 3 just came to an end with the release of episode 8, "He Who Comes With the Dawn." It was an incredible episode with lots of moving parts, epic sequences, and surprises, honestly, that I was not expecting to see.

I shared the major plot points of The Wheel of Time season 3 episode 8 and how it sets up The Wheel of Time season 4. Ultimately, I think there are four important points that casual fans like me need to remember as we leave The Wheel of Time season 3 behind.

Let's get things started with one of my favorite characters in the show, Moiraine Damodred (Rosamund Pike), who gets into an absolutely iconic battle with the real demon of the season, Lanfear (Natasha O'Keeffe).

Moiraine almost kills Lanfear

After the Aiel gather for Rand's little pitch to declare himself Chief of Chiefs, Moiraine, who learned in Rhuidean just how...

It's been a winding road, but we've arrived at the season finale for The Wheel of Time. Across its third season, Prime Video's epic fantasy show has captured our hearts and blown our minds with its drama, action, ambition, romance and scope. We began in the city of Tar Valon, where the Black Ajah made a bloody escape and our young heroes from Emond's Field went their separate ways. From there we went to the deserts of the Aiel Waste, the forests of the Two Rivers, and the hills of Tanchico. It's been quite a ride, and it's all led to this.

"He Who Comes With The Dawn" is a powerful finale, but it's also the episode I've been anticipating will most divide fans, especially those who have read Robert Jordan's books. Because while this is a rock solid hour of television, it makes bold choices.

Beware Full Spoilers...

Late tonight, Prime Video will drop the season 3 finale of The Wheel of Time, its stellar adaptation of Robert Jordan's high fantasy book series. TV Insider has a new clip from the finale. Liandrin (Kate Fleetwood) is hanging out in the city of Tanchico with other sisters of the Black Ajah. One of them is fiddling with a rod that seems to spark at the end. Liandrin tells her to put that thing down, because it "actually creates balefire."

Balefire is an incredibly destructive magical weapon within the world of The Wheel of Time. Not only can it kill people, but it also removes them from the Pattern, making it like they never existed. It has yet to show up on The Wheel of Time TV show despite featuring heavily in the books, so this is a decently big deal. And I doubt that they'd bring up balefire if...

The Wheel of Time season 3 is almost over on Prime Video! There is only one episode remaining this season, and everyone wants to know when exactly the finale will be released. Well, we have some good news, but it really depends on where you live.

The Wheel of Time season 3, episode 8, will be released at 12:00 a.m. Pt / 3:00 a.m. Et on Thursday, April 17.

Unfortunately, that's not a great time for those on the East Coast who want to stay up late to watch the season finale. On the other hand, if you live on the West Coast, you only have to stay up until about 2 a.m. Pt to watch the season 3 finale.

Right now, we don't know the episode title. We don't have the synopsis for the new episode, but we do have something better: a look at the new episode.

The Wheel of Time season...

You know how bad stuff seems to happen when certain things falling into the wrong hands? Well, prepare for bad. Like Black Ajah bad. In TV Insider’s exclusive clip from the third-season finale of Prime Video‘s superlative take on Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time novels (watch it above), the great hunt (see what I did there) for the second of two a’dam cuffs Liandrin (Kate Fleetwood) needs to control Rand (Josh Strahowski) takes an alarming turn: The damn thing is literally hand-delivered to her! But what the blade-jawed blonde traitor to the Aes Sedai doesn’t realize is that the messenger bearing this all-powerful accessory is a disguised Moghedien (Laia Costa), the demented Dark One who has been turning captives into Grey Men and covertly sabotaging Liandrin’s mission. For weeks since the globally acclaimed third season launched, Mo has been skulking around Tanchico behind the scenes,...

The Mummy is set to rise from its tomb once again, with director Lee Cronin taking the helm of a new movie from Blumhouse/Atomic Monster. With production now underway in Ireland, the studio has announced that three new cast members have been added to the project.

Joining the previoulsy announced Jack Reynor and Laia Costa in the lead roles will be Veronica Falcón, May Calamawy, and May Elghety.

Falcón recently appeared in Blumhouse’s supernatural thriller Imaginary, directed by Jeff Wadlow, and also played “Trader Sam” opposite Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson in Disney’s Jungle Cruise.

Calamawy will be best-known to Cbm fans for playing the “Scarlet Scarab” in Marvel's Moon Knight Disney+ series, and has also appeared in Hulu's Emmy-winning comedy series Ramy.

We're not sure if Calamawy...

After being unceremoniously cut out of Gladiator II, MCU star May Calamawy is now getting the chance at the spotlight in New Line Cinema's upcoming reimagining of The Mummy. Evil Dead Rise director Lee Cronin is set to helm The Mummy, a new take on the iconic movie monster that has no relation to the previous Universal Monster franchises. Filming is currently underway in Ireland and Spain, and the film is set for release on Apr. 17, 2026.

Universal Pictures owns the rights to some of the most iconic villains, which the studio named the "Universal Monsters." However, it has yet to find its rhythm with the recent adaptations.

Universal was planning to launch the Dark Universe, which was set to debut with 2017's The Mummy, and create an McU-like joint universe that would feature characters like Wolf Man, Dracula, The Invisible Man, and more. However, following the release of The Mummy and its poor reception, Universal canceled the universe. Leigh Whannell later revived the plans following the success of his 2020's The Invisible Man, and returned to the universe with 2025's Wolf Man. Following a disappointing box office run, Wolf Man will be heading on streaming on Apr. 18 on Peacock.

Wolf Man had been in development for over a decade by the time it hit theaters early this year. The movie was announced in 2014, and was set...

This article contains Spoilers for The Wheel of Time season 3 Episode 6, "The Shadow in the Night."

The Wheel of Time is deep into its third season, and despite our heroes' best efforts to take a breather this week, the villains had other ideas. Nowhere was that clearer than in Tanchico, where Nynaeve al'Meara (Zoë Robins), Elayne Trakand (Ceara Coveney), Mat Cauthon (Dónal Finn) and Min Farshaw (Kae Alexander) are on the hunt for the Black Ajah. Despite having some success in their search, like digging up a dangerous artifact known as the Domination Band and ferreting out the location of the Black Ajah's hideout, they soon fell afoul of an even more dangerous villain: Moghedien, the sadistic Forsaken sorceress played by Laia Costa.

Moghedien was first introduced at the end of the show's second season, and the anticipation has been high to see her in action. The book on which this season is largely based,...

The sixth episode of The Wheel of Time season 3 is out now on Prime Video, and if you thought it was going to let up, you were mistaken. "The Shadow in the Night" may give some characters a chance to let loose and enjoy themselves, but by its bombshell ending things are right back to dead serious as multiple members of the Forsaken make their moves. It's trauma as well as good times on The Wheel of Time this week!

We've got a lot to talk about, so pull up "The Hills of Tanchico" on Spotify and let's get into it. Full Spoilers for The Wheel of Time season 3 Episode 6 beyond this point.

The cast of Lee Cronin's The Mummy is slowly starting to unwrap, with Laia Costa becoming the latest addition to the ensemble that will give rise to the reboot. The Wheel of Time actress is starring alongside Jack Reynor, who portrays her on-screen husband, per The Hollywood Reporter. It is understood that the couple, along with their daughter, who has yet to be cast, will make no bones about the trouble they're in when they cross paths with the titular undead monster and start encountering a series of supernaturally sinister phenomena.

Costa is no stranger to dark forces, having starred in Prime Video's big-budget fantasy series The Wheel of Time, which features the Dark One as its primary antagonist. Costa plays Moghedien, one of the Forsaken, who is known for being manipulative and cunning in her strategies. The actress' other credits include roles in Drake Doremus' romantic drama Newness,...

The film, which is still keeping its logline under wraps, is written and directed by Cronin, and marks the first collaboration for the recently combined companies, helmed by James Wan and Jason Blum, with Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group. The film will be released on April 17, 2026.

Laia Costa starred in the critically-acclaimed, single-take film, Victoria, for which she won the Lola (Germany’s equivalent of the Oscar®) for “Best Actress” and was nominated for a European Film Award for “Best European Actress” and the prestigious BAFTA Ee Rising Star Award. Film credits include Only You with Josh O’Connor,...

The fresh take on the classic monster is due out on April 17, 2026 from Warner Bros.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but Cronin previously said, “This will be unlike any Mummy movie you ever laid eyeballs on before. I’m digging deep into the earth to raise something very ancient and very frightening.”

The project is the first under the recent Blumhouse-Atomic Monster merger, with the companies producing and co-financing for New Line Cinema. James Wan, Jason Blum, and John Keville are producing alongside Cronin under his Doppelgängers banner.

In the world of ‘The Wheel of Time,’ a new threat has stepped out of the shadows in season 3, and it’s got everyone talking. The Gray Man, a chilling figure tied to the Forsaken Moghedien, made a creepy debut on the TV show. These assassins aren’t just random killers—they’re a key part of the story, pulled straight from Robert Jordan’s massive book series. Let’s break down who they are and why they matter, both on screen and in the novels.

The Gray Men popped up in the season 3 premiere of the Prime Video series, which kicked off on March 13, 2025. They’re not your typical bad guys. These are humans who’ve given up their souls to the Dark One, turning them into near-invisible killers.

In the show, one of them nearly takes out Nynaeve, played by Zoë Robins, in a tense moment that had us all on edge.

The Wheel of Time season 3 episode 3, “Seeds of Shadow,” is the best episode of the season to date, and it begins with some major reveals and incredible scheming on the part of Lanfear, Sammael, and Rahvin, who is playing his part quite well.

Let’s talk about what happened in the third episode of season 3!

Lord Gaebril is actually Rahvin, one of the Forsaken

“Seeds of Shadow” begins with Lanfear (Natasha O’Keeffe), Sammael, and Lord Gaebril (Nuno Lopes) meeting to discuss an alliance to help the Dark One’s mission after the death of Ishamael in the season 2 finale. Lanfear proposes they work together to stop Moghedien, but in the conversation, she reveals that Lord Gaebril, the lover of Queen Morgase of Andor.

After the meeting, Rahvin meets with Moghedien (Laia Costa), who was present for the meeting. She claims that Lanfear is playing this as she did before, and...

The Wheel of Time is back for season 3 on Prime Video. On Thursday, March 13, the first three episodes of the season dropped, so let’s talk about what happened in the season premiere.

The Wheel of Time season 3 episode 1, “To Race the Shadow,” begins with an epic battle. It’s not Falme, like we ended season 2, but it’s an incredible opening sequence that everyone got to see, thanks to Prime Video sharing the first 11 minutes of the season early.

In Tar Valon’s White Tower, Siuan Sanche (Sophie Okonedo), the Amyrlin Seat, accuses Liandrin (Kate Fleetwood) of being a Darkfriend. Liandrin, in return, accuses Siuan of aiding Rand al’Thor (Josha Stradowski), the Dragon Reborn, of escaping. Nynaeve al'Meara (Zoë Robins) is called as a witness.

“The Wheel of Time” Season 3 is finally here and the Pattern continues to be woven toward The Last Battle.

The Prime Video series is about as dense as expected for a 14-book adaptation and there was a lot of story crammed into Season 2. The Emond’s Field 5 were spread to all corners of the world dealing with their own issues but all managed to reconvene in the Season 2 finale for a battle in Falme against Ishamael and his Seanchan allies.

Dive into our “Wheel of Time” Season 2 finale recap to get caught up before returning to the world and follow The Dragon Reborn’s journey to make or break the world.

Rand is Proclaimed The Dragon Reborn

Rand (Josha Stradowski) ends the season facing off against Ishamael (Fares Fares) atop a tower with the aid of the rest of the Emond’s Field 5. During the battle Moraine conjures a dragon...

The first three episodes of The Wheel of Time are out now on Prime Video, bringing viewers back into the vivid fantasy world of Robert Jordan's beloved book series. We've been poring over them this morning, because these are three very full episodes. The first, "To Race the Shadow," saw all hell break lose in Tar Valon as the sisters of the Black Ajah made good their escape, before Rand al'Thor (Josha Stradowski) and the rest of our heroes went their separate ways. The second, "A Question of Crimson," delved into the complicated politics of the White Tower as Queen Morgase (Olivia Williams) and her advisor Elaida (Shohreh Aghdashloo) arrived on the scene to demand answers of the Amyrlin Seat, Siuan Sanche (Sophie Okonedo).

Now we've arrived at the final episode of the premiere block: "Seeds of Shadow." And just as the name implies, this episode gives the show's...

Plot: After defeating Ishamael, one of the most powerful of the Forsaken, at the end of Season Two, Rand reunites with his friends in the city of Falme and is declared the Dragon Reborn. But in Season Three, the threats against the Light are multiplying: the White Tower stands divided, the Black Ajah run free, old enemies return to the Two Rivers, and the remaining Forsaken are in hot pursuit of the Dragon… including Lanfear, whose relationship with Rand will mark a crucial choice between Light and Dark for them both. As the ties to his past begin to unravel, and his corrupted power grows stronger, Rand becomes increasingly unrecognizable to his closest allies, Moiraine and Egwene. These powerful women, who started the series as teacher and student, must now work together to prevent the Dragon from turning to the Dark…no matter the cost.

Review: Prime Video has undertaken massive projects in recent years,...

The third season of The Wheel of Time is just around the corner, meaning we're about to catch up with the likes of magic messiah Rand al'Thor (Josha Stradowski), his mentor Moiraine (Rosamund Pike), and his morally challenged love interest Lanfear (Natasha O'Keeffe), an ancient sorceress intent on turning Rand to the dark side.

Lanfear is a member of the Forsaken, powerful channelers who lived long before Rand's time. Lanfear was involved with Lews Therin, Rand in a past life, and is now attracted to the man reborn. They had an electric chemistry in season 2, but as Rand is a prophesied hero responsible for saving the world from the dark lord to whom Lanfear is sworn; surely they can't date...can they?

In The Wheel of Time books, the connection is pretty one-sided, but on the show, Rand and Lanfear have a stronger connection. “There’s a lot of people who are on team Lanfear,...

Prime Video has exclusively revealed the thrilling 11-minute opening scene for the upcoming third season of ‘The Wheel of Time’ on its platform.

This special sneak peek is now available at the end of the third episode of the Season Three premiere of ‘Reacher.’

The explosive 11-minute opening scene of The Wheel of Time’s new season features a dynamic magical showdown between good and evil. The Sorceresses who have secretly sworn themselves to the Dark One shockingly reveal themselves, and initiate a vicious and bloody battle that will forever change the fate of the world.

Season Three’s storylines are primarily based on the fan-favourite fourth book of Jordan’s series, “The Shadow Rising.” In addition to Tar Valon, the season will take viewers to many new regions and cities across the fictional continent of the Westlands, including the vast deserts of the Aiel Waste, the intoxicating and dangerous port city of Tanchico,...

The sci-fi and fantasy TV world always seems on a paradoxical precipice: Too many good shows get canceled, yet too many keep returning to television. Not that we’re complaining about the latter.

Several long-awaited shows from some of the biggest franchises around, including Marvel, Star Wars, Doctor Who, and The Walking Dead, will return in 2025. Given that most TV shows take a year or longer at least to release the next season, it can be hard to keep track of where we left off in the story. And without catching up with the previous seasons, one could unintentionally commit what is considered in the sci-fi or fantasy community the ultimate blunder: not understanding the references or Easter eggs.

The following are some of the most exciting genre TV shows dropping their next seasons this year. In addition to the ones listed below, Severance (Prime Video), Invincible (Prime Video) and...
