Here we continue a monthly section that will offer a quick go-to list of what’s coming to cinemas, VOD & SVOD services, and gaming platforms over the coming weeks.
This isn’t a complete list, rather it’s one showing the major and some minor titles of note. The titles are separated by date and ordered with films & film rentals first, then TV, then games.
On the film front, the “Predator” franchise returns with the direct-to-Hulu premiering “Prey,” Brad Pitt takes on multiple assassins in “Bullet Train,” George Miller returns with “Three Thousand Years of Longing,” Apple tries to be Pixar with “Luck,” Idris Elba takes on a man-eating lion in “Beast,” and Kevin Bacon leads a sinister conversion camp in “They/Them.”
There’s also Jamie Foxx battling vampires in “Day Shift,” the return of Esther in the prequel film “Orphan: First Kill,” the Lovecraftian gloryhole dark comedy “Glorious,” Stallone goes superhero in “Samaritan,” there’s HBO’s Princess Diana documentary movie , the John McAfee docufilm “Running with the Devil,” and Amazon premieres Ron Howard’s Thai cave rescue drama “Thirteen Lives.”
On the TV front there are several high-profile new series including HBO’s “Game of Thrones” prequel spin-off “House of the Dragon,” the long-gestating Netflix TV series adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s “The Sandman” comics, the latest “ Star Wars” series with “Andor,” while Marvel drops the legal comedy “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” and a series of “I Am Groot” short films.
On the new series front, there’s Apple’s bound to be controversial “Five Days at Memorial,” Amazon’s high profile “A League of Their Own” series adaptation, Mike Judge bringing back “Beavis and Butt-Head,” British mini-series import “ The Undeclared War,” FX’s football club docuseries “Welcome to Wrexham,” the anime “Tekken: Bloodline,” the new animated FX comedy “Little Demon”.
Returnees wise, there are the final seasons of “Locke & Key” and “See,” the thirteenth season of “Archer,” and the return of recent success stories like “Star Trek: Lower Decks,” “Kevin Can F— Himself, ” “Reservation Dogs,” “Industry,” “The Cuphead Show,” “Stargirl,” “Resident Alien,” “Power Book III: Raising Kanan,” “Tales of the Walking Dead” and a “South Park” concert special.
On the games front, the PC finally gets PlayStation-exclusive “Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered” and gets all the bells and whistles. SEGA delivers the long-anticipated follow-up to the great “Two Point Hospital” with “Two Point Campus,” “Destroy All Humans 2 – Reprobed” remasters the classic game sequel, and the “Saints Row” franchise gets a full reboot. There are also some intriguing indies like “Cult of the Lamb” and “Midnight Fight Express”.
