New “Stranger Things” Season 4 Images Tease Deeper, Darker Horror Vibes

Netflix has just given us our first glimpse of Stranger Things season four, volume one.

The images reveal that, as promised, season 4’s two parts will lead us into darker territory,

New “Moon Knight” Video Reveals Marvel’s Most Twisted New Superhero

“This is the best worst day of my life,” says Stephen Grant (Oscar Isaac), a mild-mannered gift shop employee who makes a fantastic discovery in Moon Knight. That discovery is that he’s also Marc Spector, a mercenary whose dangerous life as a superpowered avenging angel is the polar opposite of Stephen’s quiet existence. Marc is, in every sense, a completely unexpected doppelganger, one who is all mixed up with everything from supervillains to the Egyptian gods.

Cinematographer Jon Furmanski Reunites With Amy Schumer in “Life & Beth”

When she co-hosts ABC’s Oscar telecast on March 27, Amy Schumer will likely deliver the kind of withering punch lines that forged her reputation as one of America’s most daring comedians. But in her new Hulu series Life & Beth (which debuted on March 18) Schumer brings unexpected angst to her title character, an unhappy wine salesperson trying to make a fresh start in the face of death, disapproval, and dysfunctional family ties.

Marvel Teases Return of “Luke Cage,” “Daredevil,” “Jessica Jones” & More on Disney+

The Marvel Cinematic and Television Universe is expanding on Disney+. Long before Disney+ existed, Marvel Studios had a bunch of strong, darker live-action series on Netflix.

“Winning Time” Costume Designer Emma Potter on Making Magic With the Lakers

Working on Max Borenstein and Jim Hecht’s Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty didn’t require an advanced degree in NBA fandom in general and Lakes lore specifically, yet a lot of the folks involved had both. Hecht himself is a lifelong Lakers fan, and writer Rodney Barnes has loved basketball his whole life, and everyone likes Magic Johnson. Yet, one of the key people who helped give Winning Time its period-perfect look admits she was neither a massive b-ball fan or a follower of the NBA.

“Shining Vale” Cinematographer Nicole Hirsch Whitaker Blends Creepy With Comedy

Courteney Cox is seeing spirits in the new Starz series Shining Vale. Her success in both the top-rated sitcom Friends and blockbuster horror series Scream meet at a sublime suburban crossroads. The pilot’s cinematographer, Nicole Hirsch Whitaker, laughingly admits that the show wasn’t such an obvious fit for her at first. 

“I don’t get asked to shoot comedy,” Whitaker said. “I am the antithesis of someone who gets asked to shoot comedy because my work is a little bit dark.”

‘A little bit dark’ is just what Shining Vale calls for in both atmosphere and humor.

When Anna Sorokin, a Russian woman in her early twenties, landed in New York, she had little in the way of entry to the glitzy social world she hoped to break into — no wealth, few friends, and a single stint as an intern at Purple, a raunchy Paris fashion magazine. 

But as creator Shonda Rhimes swiftly demonstrates in Inventing Anna, Netflix’s nine-hour recounting of the fake German heiress Anna Delvey (Julia Garner) and the reporter who broke her story,
