Andor Season 2 is finally here, following a tumultuous development process that was delayed by almost a year due to the 2023 Hollywood strikes. During that time, the Star Wars franchise has taken some hits on the Disney+ streaming service with The Mandalorian Season 3 becoming its lowest-rated thus far, and the subsequent pivot to making Season 4 into a movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu.

Sitting down to watch all 9 episodes of Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 felt like a weird experience at first. After the original Daredevil series got canceled by Netflix back in 2018, and as fan campaigns to bring the show back seemed to fizzle, it seemed like we were finished with Charlie Cox‘s iteration of the character. Cox’s brief MCU introduction in Spider-Man: No Way Home and, subsequently, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law assured fans that his future in the role was safe.

It’s no secret that Marvel Studios’ new “Marvel Animation” brand has had a rocky start. The label began with What If…? in 2021, a venture that delivered some fantastic episodes but ultimately fell short of its full potential, ending in a rather disastrously bad third season this past December. The only other title released under the brand thus far is X-Men ‘97, a series that revived the classic X-Men characters from the ’90s with roaring success.

Now that 2025 is in full swing, we must acknowledge that this will be the most jam-packed year for both movies and television the current decade has seen. The film release date calendar is stacked, starting out with Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man this January and leading into Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Brave New World, Disney’s live-action Snow White remake, Bong Joon-ho’s Mickey 17, and A Minecraft Movie, all throughout the year’s first quarter.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew aims to breathe some much-needed life into Lucasfilm’s struggling media landscape. The only other major live-action Star Wars project this year was The Acolyte, which unfortunately got thrown into an unnecessary culture war, to put it mildly, before eventually getting a quiet cancelation that led to even more controversy.

It’s been 16 years since we last properly caught up with the adventures of Britian’s iconic claymation duo, Wallace & Gromit. Excluding a few commercials, the Grand Adventures Telltale game, and the 2010 World of Invention miniseries, audiences have been apart from these staple Aardman characters for far too long. There were valid reasons behind this, though, with the 2010 retirement and subsequent passing of original Wallace voice actor Peter Sallis in 2017.
