During a recent press event in Santa Monica, the show’s creator, Gilligan, gave an update on the upcoming season. He said that writing is underway, and he expressed gratitude to fans for allowing the team to reach this point. He explained that developing each episode takes considerable time, and while they’re further along in the process than he’d prefer given the limited number of episodes planned, it’s a similar pace to how the first season was developed.

I’ve always been a huge fan of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre – it’s just a perfect film, and I’ve said as much. Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel really created something groundbreaking and influential that still stands up today as the best of the best in horror. So, when the chance came to explore that world in a longer format, I was thrilled! It felt like a great way to both pay tribute to the original and add to its legacy. I honestly couldn’t ask for better partners to do it with than A24 – it’s a real honor to be involved.

When online games first became popular, earning in-game currency, often called ‘gold farming,’ was simple. Players repeatedly defeated enemies to collect money, which always had the same value when buying items. It was a direct trade: the more time you played, the more money you earned. Now, things are much more complicated. Game economies are dynamic and require players to understand how money flows through the game, like understanding real-world supply chains. Just earning money isn’t enough anymore; players need to understand the entire economic system.

Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is an action role-playing game inspired by the well-known anime and manga series. The story centers around Prince Tristan of Liones and Tioreh, who find a powerful, enigmatic pendant called the Book of Stars. After discovering it in a cave, they emerge to a drastically altered world: the scenery has changed, previously extinct creatures now roam the land, and a dark corruption is spreading rapidly.

The year 2025 began with several new card game releases, including Bandai’s Gundam Card Game and Riot Games’ League of Legends card game, Riftbound.

New photos and the release date for the movie Matchbox were revealed at Apple TV’s press event on Tuesday. The film tells the story of a group of friends who grew up together. John Cena stars as a CIA agent who returns to his hometown and unexpectedly finds himself involved in a dangerous international situation. He’s joined by Jessica Biel, Sam Richardson, Teyonah Parris, and Arturo Castro. Like other upcoming Mattel projects, Matchbox is based on the classic toy cars first released in 1953.

I’ve been working towards this for years. Earlier this year, in May, I went to Hollywood to present my ideas to all the major streaming services and studios. I had a lot of positive experiences, and this time felt different – I was meeting with studio executives and really exciting people. Ultimately, everyone wanted to adapt both Mistborn and Stormlight. I chose to work with Apple for a number of reasons. I enjoyed the atmosphere of all the meetings I had, and none of them were negative. While having creative control was a factor, it was more about the partnership itself, and Apple felt like the right fit. I’m impressed with what they’ve done with Apple TV+ and how carefully they release content.

Award-winning actress Clea Duvall, known for her roles in shows like Veep and films like The Faculty, is joining the cast of The Last of Us for its third and final season. She will play a member of the Seraphites, also known as “Scars,” a wandering group who frequently clash with the WLF. The Seraphites are known for their harsh and violent practices, especially towards those who hold beliefs from before the outbreak.

Honestly, that line just chills me to the bone every time I hear it. It’s this incredibly poetic, yet brutally honest prophecy – someone’s destined for greatness, to become king, but it’s all leading to a really gruesome end. And the kicker? Everyone around them will celebrate when it happens. It’s a fantastic bit of foreshadowing, and just a really striking, dark image. It’s not just about death, it’s about the complicated legacy someone might leave behind.
