“The Book of Boba Fett” Trailer Reveals the Bounty Hunter’s Bold Return

Buckle up, Boba-heads, because Disney+ has just revealed the first trailer for The Book of Boba Fett, and it delivers.

“The Witcher” Season 2 Trailer is a Monstrous Good Time

The official trailer for The Witcher season 2 is nearly three minutes of epic action and monstrous intrigue. It’s fair to say that the upcoming season looks even more sweeping and sumptuous than the first.

In one moment in the trailer,

Season two, The Assassination of Gianni Versace, 

This New “Hawkeye” Teaser Hits the Bullseye

One of the many impressive things about Marvel’s Disney+ series is how each has its own distinct personality. WandaVision expertly mixed period sitcoms, drama, comedy, and action for a singular TV experience. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was a high-octane action-adventure series from start to finish. Loki mashed up a sci-fi time-travel story with a buddy office comedy and one of the year’s most intriguing romances. And now we have Hawkeye,

How do you dramatize poverty, abuse, systemic misogyny in a TV show without creating a series of lectures, or a documentary? This was one of the challenges facing Maid showrunner Molly Smith Metzler when she set out to adapt author Stephanie Land’s best-selling memoir “Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive.” Through ten episodes, Metzler’s show, starring a phenomenal Margaret Qualley as Alex, manages to deliver a riveting portrait of a young mother fleeing an abusive relationship with her young daughter and trying to make ends meet in Washington as a maid.

The trailer for The Witcher season 2 is here, and it’s absolutely bursting with monsters.
