‘Redux Redux’ (2026)

‘Redux Redux,’ directed by the McManus Brothers, is a thrilling film that blends action, horror, and science fiction. It centers on Irene (Michaela McManus), a mother consumed by grief who uses a device to travel between different realities in pursuit of her daughter’s killer.

‘Mercy’ (2026)

‘Mercy’ is a futuristic thriller where criminal trials are handled by AI. Chris Pratt plays a detective wrongly accused of a crime, and he has just 90 minutes to convince an AI judge (Rebecca Ferguson) of his innocence before he’s automatically executed. The movie combines the suspense of a classic mystery with the unsettling feeling of a technologically controlled future. It will be available to stream starting February 17, 2026, after playing in theaters.

‘Armorsaurs’ (2025)

The series follows a team of teens chosen to pilot powerful, armored dinosaurs—called Armorsaurs—and fight to save Earth.

Created by MGA Entertainment, the show combines the look of giant robots with dinosaur action, creating a visually exciting experience. The first season will be available on Disney+ starting February 18, 2026.

‘Wild Boys: Strangers in Town’ (2026)

This documentary series tells the strange but true story of two brothers who appeared in British Columbia in 2003, claiming they’d grown up completely cut off from the outside world. The two episodes explore the huge media attention they received and how the real story of their upbringing eventually came to light. Though it falls into the true-crime genre, this series offers a fascinating and unbelievable tale about who we are and the secrets we keep. Season 1 premieres on Paramount+ on February 18, 2026.
