The HBO epic, “Dune: Prophecy,” takes viewers back to an era years before Paul Atreides, exploring the rich worlds of “Dune” through the lens of the Bene Gesserit, cracking the Dune-iverse open even more for viewers. So, yes, no Timothy Chalamet or Zendaya brooding with lush special effects backdrops.

A color-washed series about tough, no-nonsense guys dealing with high-pressure hands-on stuff in rural America, “Landman” is raw, uncut Taylor Sheridan straight from the source. Set in and around the oil fields of Midland-Odessa, Texas, the series trolls the mesquite-mixed grasslands of the Permian Basin for the artificial drama so endemic there. Smuggling mishaps, oil well blowouts, appendage mangling, and plain old heartbreak provide the fuel in this regard, which flows more liberally than what’s pumped out of the ground.

After a zombie heist movie, two poorly received sci-fi epics, and an animated series about Norse mythology, Zack Snyder‘s next project at Netflix is…an action movie about the LAPD?

Flying a little under the radar right now—presumably because it’s a U.K.-only show, at least at the moment—is a new upcoming series called “The Listeners.” It’s intriguing on its own, but the talent involved makes it even more enticing. A provocative, haunting drama starring Rebecca Hall (“Christine,” “The Town,” “Vicky Christina Barcelona”), “The Listeners” is produced by Fremantle company Element Pictures (“Normal People,” “The Favourite,” “Poor Things”) and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Janicza Bravo, known for directing “Zola” and episodes of “Poker Face,” and “Mrs.

Since its inception, more than anything, Apple TV+ has excelled at genre television, especially in the sci-fi space. The sheer number of science fiction shows that populate the relatively small service is frankly overwhelming. Yet the best of those shows has somewhat flown under the radar. “Silo” premiered last year to acclaim, if not the deafening noise that followed something like “Severance.” Created by the great Graham Yost (“Justified”) and starring Rebecca Ferguson, the show’s mystery-box approach to a future society kept viewers like me compelled over the course of its ten-episode first season.

After the massive success of “Game of Thrones,” it’s clear that HBO is going to be dealing with author George R.R. Martin quite often, especially after the studio continues to add spinoffs to its slate. And we’ve already seen the relationship between Martin and HBO can be a little iffy, with Martin being unafraid to share his opinions on things.

OK, Yellowstoners, we’re catching up on the “Yellowstone” season five part two premiere, which aired late Sunday night on Paramount Network (and wasn’t readily available to watch anywhere if you didn’t catch it that evening; thankfully, Prime sorted me out). Titled “Desire Is All You Need,” episode nine of this two-part season started out a little unceremoniously.

As you all should know by now, “Yellowstone” showrunner/creator writer Taylor Sheridan and Kevin Costner, who plays the Yellowstone family ranch patriarch, John Dutton, had a major falling out nearly two years ago over scheduling and Costner wanting to take time away from the series to shoot his “Horizon: An American Saga” Western (which tanked at the box office this year despite an enormous cost and substantial personal investment by Costner).

You may not have heard, but “The Penguin” has been a massive streaming and critical hit for HBO. So much so that many are wondering if what was expected just to be an episodic bridge between Matt Reeves‘ 2022 feature “The Batman” and the upcoming sequel could return for subsequent seasons. Colin Farrell, who had to undergo hours of makeup every day to portray the Gotham City mobster, has also now left the door open to reprising his role beyond “The Batman II.”
