The Wanted Man will see Laurie play Felix Carmichael, the “elusive and powerful head of notorious British crime syndicate ‘The Capital,” according to Apple’s press release. After going to prison, Carmichael learns he’s been betrayed, and so decides to try to escape to exact revenge.

Long Story Short, the new animated series from BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg has a premiere date: it’ll be streaming on Netflix on August 22nd. The series follows the story of a single family, but jumps around in time, letting you “follow the Schwooper siblings from childhood to adulthood and back again.” You can get a first glimpse at it in these images.

While we all impatiently wait for more news about the final season of Stranger Things, Netflix has shared a little about the show’s animated spinoff. It’s called Tales From ’85 and, well, that’s about all we know right now. The Duffer brothers say that the vibe will be “in the vein of the Saturday morning cartoons that we grew up loving,” which provides some idea of what to expect whenever it does stream.

In addition to dropping a new trailer for Wednesday’s upcoming second season, Netflix has confirmed that the series’ next chapter will be split in two with the first half debuting on August 6th, and the second on September 3rd.

Hayden Christensen will return to Ahsoka as Anakin Skywalker and rebel commander Admiral Ackbar will go “head-to-head” with Grand Admiral Thrawn, series creator Dave Filoni told the audience at Star Wars Celebration in Japan last night.

It’s been a while since Darth Maul last appeared Star Wars Rebels, but during this year’s Star Wars Celebration, Luscasfilm announced that the horned Sith is set to star in a new animated Disney Plus series due out in 2026.

Though Disney Plus and Marvel haven’t officially announced when the second of Daredevil: Born Again will debut, showrunner Dario Scardapane seems fairly confident in a recent Instagram post that it’s happening next March.

After Warner Bros. Discovery passed on Genndy Tartakovsky’s Fixed, it seemed like the animated feature about a dog’s last night before getting the snip might never see the light of day, but Netflix has scooped the film up and plans to debut it on August 13th.

While Natasha Lyonne’s Charlie Cale can always tell when someone is lying, the new trailer for Poker Face’s upcoming second season makes it pretty hard to tell which of its characters are murderers hiding in plain sight. Clearly, there’s something up with that strange little girl, but is she a killer? You be the judge.

The excellent British comedy show where five contestants are judged in how they complete ridiculous tasks is back for series 19 starting May 2nd on YouTube. That means you have more than two weeks to catch up on previous series, which are also available on YouTube. Your time starts now.

Apropos of it being the weekend, Bandai Namco Filmworks has just announced that there’s a new Ghost in the Shell animated series in the works directed by Dandadan storyboarder Moko-chan and produced by Science Saru (the studio behind Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.) The series is due out next year, and there’s a new trailer teasing what’s to come.

Ahead of Lazarus‘ second episode airing this weekend, Sony has released the series’ trio of soundtracks from Kamasi Washington, Bonobo, and Floating Points. All three of the soundtracks are on most major platforms, but there’s no word yet on whether they’ll be getting physical releases.

Though Adi Shankar’s Devil May Cry animated series has only been out for a week, Netflix has already greenlit it for a second season.

Balatro is once again having a moment. The game snapped up the best debut game award at this year’s BAFTAs. (With Ben Starr reprising his role as Jimbo to accept the award to maintain its creator’s strict policy of anonymity.) Then the game made a brief but fun appearance in the new Black Mirror season in the Hotel Reverie episode. As you can imagine, its creator, localthunk, was quite chuffed at the shout-out.
