Despite House of the Dragon‘s success as a fantasy prequel to Game of Thrones, it has been criticized for mirroring its predecessor too closely, while Outlander: Blood of My Blood appears to have studied this lesson carefully.
With the original Outlander series winding down after eight seasons, the prequel arrives at a crossroads where it must avoid the trap of recycling tired narratives. With four episodes already aired on Starz as of late August, this prequel doesn’t feel like a shadow of its predecessor. It feels like a world reborn; one that carries the bones of Outlander, but none of its narrative fatigue.
The challenge is clear: Blood of My Blood...

Spoiler Alert !!!May contain spoilers for My Oxford Year Ending
In My Oxford Year, Corey Mylchreest plays the role of Jamie, an Oxford tutor who wins over Anna (Sofia Carson). What begins with fun banter between the duo soon crosses into romance territory. Anna then learns that Jamie has a rare hereditary blood disorder, the same one that took his brother’s life. On top of that, he decides to stop all treatment and wants to live life on his own terms.
This obviously laid down the ground that he would probably die towards the end of the movie. But to the surprise of many, he does not die (not on screen at least), and we get an open ending. Towards the end, we see him and Anna making the conscious decision to treasure what time they have left.

Which Oscar-Winning Movie Marked Yellowstone Star Wes Bentley’s Breakthrough? (Photo Credit – Prime Video)
Before Yellowstone made Wes Bentley a household name again, he was the haunting face behind one of the most surreal performances of the late ’90s. American Beauty was his breakout. A strange, tragic, rose-petal-drenched masterpiece that won five Oscars and pulled in $356 million (per Box Office Mojo). And those flying plastic bag shots? All Bentley.
When I hear him reflect on that movie now, it’s wild how much it still lingers in his life. In a MovieWeb interview, Bentley said, “American Beauty was an experience that… it’s like a storybook in some ways, because it was just that out of nowhere fame… more than you could ever even dream of as a young actor.” That movie wasn’t just a role. It was his rocket launch. And 25 years later, the fumes are still fueling his ride.

Art will imitate life very, very closely for Marlon Wayans, who is set to lead an autobiographical comedy series now in development at Starz.
Wayans will star in, co-write and executive-produce Book of Marlon, a half-hour project inspired by the comedian’s life and career. He’ll play a fictionalized version of himself, “exploring his professional life as a comedian and actor, as well as his personal life as he attempts to reconcile being a good person and loving father with being Marlon,” the official synopsis reads. (The project was initially in development at HBO Max.)
