‘Pluribus’ (2025)

Vince Gilligan, the creator of shows like ‘Breaking Bad,’ is back with a new series set in Albuquerque.

The first season of nine episodes will debut on Apple TV+ with two episodes on November 7th, followed by new episodes each week.

‘Frankenstein’ (2025)

Guillermo del Toro’s new film offers a fresh take on Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein,” starring Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as his creation.

The movie focuses on the complex bond between creator and creation, following Victor’s growing obsession and the Creature’s journey to find a place where he belongs, all set against the backdrop of snowy Europe.
