Steve McQueen is one of the best filmmakers working today, and now we have our first real look at his new project Small Axe, an anthology of five original films that will begin rolling out on Amazon Prime Video this November. McQueen is the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind 12 Years a Slave, as well as Hunger, Shame and Widows. He is a true artist in every sense of the word, and I'm excited to see what he's been working on for the past couple years, especially since Small Axe was clearly a passion project for the British writer-…
Spooky season is definitely upon us, if the trailer for Hulu’s new horror anthology Monsterland is any indication. The 8-episode series, adapted from Nathan Ballingrud’s story collection North-American Lake Monsters, has an impressively starry cast and it looks like it’ll give you the heebie-jeebies big time. Watch for yourself (if you dare). Scary right? Described in the official press release as featuring “encounters with mermaids, fallen angels, and other strange beasts drive broken people to desperate acts,” the series stars Kaitlyn Dever, Jonathan Tucker, Charlie Tahan, Nicole Beharie, Hamish Linklater, Marquis Rodriguez, Bill Camp, …
Kevin Smith unveiled the trailer for his upcoming horror anthology film Killroy Was Here over the weekend as part of Comic-Con at Home, and I'm warning you now, it's pretty gory. The film was inspired by the "Kilroy Was Here" graffiti depicting a bald man with a large nose peeking over a wall. Smith has now given the character a backstory, as Kilroy is depicted as a Vietnam veteran who uses the deadly skills he learned as a special ops soldier to become a Florida swamp monster of sorts -- one who protects children instead of preying on …
Infinity Train, Cartoon Network’s heady, for-families anthology series, is making a jump for season 3. Later this summer, the new collection of episodes will air exclusively on HBO Max. All aboard! Created by Owen Dennis, a veteran of similarly beloved oddball animated series Regular Show, Infinity Train was initially announced as a miniseries and many saw it as Cartoon Network’s spiritual successor to their outstanding Over the Garden Wall. But it soon became clear that this would be an ongoing project, with each season taking on a different vibe (with the seasons referred to as “books”) but …
Netflix has unveiled the intriguing trailer for Homemade, a short film anthology boasting an all-star roster of talented directors. Among the incredible line-up of name are Kristen Stewart, Pablo Larraín, and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Interestingly, the trailer arrives just one week after we learned Stewart and Larraín will be teaming up on a Princess Diana biopic, Spencer, making that feature as their second collab (of sorts) following Homemade.

Netflix has ordered Social Distance, a scripted anthology series from Jenji Kohan and the team behind Orange Is the New Black that will dramatize our current moment in quarantine. I don't know about you, but this is one of the last things I'd want to watch right now, let alone in a post-pandemic future, though I suppose the right story and the right stars could lure me in. Kohan and her OITNB team of Tara Herrmann, Blake McCormick and Hilary Weisman Graham, will all serve as executive producers on the series, which will see Diego Velasco will …

The series will take a trip around the good ol' U S of A to tell a spine-chilling …
Amazon's new series, sci-fi anthology Tales From the Loop, feels like a soothing, dreamy, otherworldly balm. Tales From the Loop may be part of the bigger trend of sci-fi anthology shows like Black Mirror or the Twilight Zone revival, but stands out as an entry focused on finding the good in life-changing technology and scientific discoveries, rather than pondering how it could all go wrong. [caption id="attachment_883439" align="alignright" width="360"] Image via Prime Video[/caption] Arriving at a time when things are noticeably more chaotic than we're used to, Tales From the Loop …

Burns, and executive produced by Mark Johnson, who won an Oscar for Rain Man and a pair of Emmys for Breaking Bad, the network announced Tuesday.

Oscar winner T Bone Burnett (Crazy Heart) is attached as the series' music producer, with words and music by Craig Finn of the …
Apple TV+ has released the first trailer for Amazing Stories, the streaming service's reimagining of the sci-fi/fantasy anthology series with Steven Spielberg on board as executive producer. Lost and Once Upon a Time producing/writing duo Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz will serve as showrunners on Amazing Stories, which hits Apple TV+ on March 6. The trailer gives a pretty good look at the type of fantastical mini-adventures the series will take the audience on, all of which come with heavy Amblin vibes. (Throwing that original John Williams theme song in there certainly helps a good …
