PLOT
Four years after becoming king of Atlantis, Arthur Curry has married Mera and had a son, Arthur Jr., while splitting his life between land and sea. Meanwhile, David Kane / Black Manta continues to seek revenge against Arthur for his father's death, working with marine biologist Stephen Shin to find Atlantean artifacts. When Shin accidentally discovers a cavern in Antarctica, Manta finds a Black Trident that possesses him, its creator promising to give him the power to destroy Arthur and Atlantis.
Five months later, Manta breaks into an Orichalcum reserve on Atlantis to steal them to power his Atlantean machines that are of ancient origin but are of unknown design to modern Atlanteans. They are caught midway and chased by Atlantean forces, with Mera injured in the ensuing battle. Arthur learns that this usage of Orichalcum, which emits high quantities of greenhouse gases, has not only raised planetary temperatures and caused extreme weather and ocean acidification, but nearly caused a planetary extinction in the past when used by an ancient Atlantean kingdom. To learn where Manta is hiding, Arthur breaks his half-brother, Orm, out of prison, and they visit a pirate haven called the Sunken Citadel, meeting Kingfish to learn of Manta's whereabouts.
The information they obtain leads them to a volcanic island in the South Pacific, where they battle Manta's forces after getting themselves through flora and fauna mutated by the Orichalcum. There, Orm touches the Black Trident, which shows him visions of its provenance. Orm learns the trident was created by Kordax, the brother of King Atlan and ruler of the lost kingdom of Necrus. Kordax was imprisoned with blood magic following a failed attempt to usurp the throne. Realizing the blood of any of Atlan's descendants could release Kordax; the pair deduce Manta has kidnapped Arthur Jr. With Shin's help, the Atlanteans determine that Kordax's prison and the lost kingdom of Necrus are located in Antarctica.
In Necrus, Arthur fights Manta and is almost killed before Mera arrives and saves her husband. Manta throws the Black Trident at Mera who is taking her son to safety, but Orm catches it before it strikes her. The spirit of Kordax leaves Manta for Orm, who proceeds to fight Arthur and uses Arthur's blood to free Kordax. Arthur convinces his brother to give up his hatred for him, allowing him to destroy both Kordax and the Black Trident. With Kordax's magic vanishing, Necrus starts to collapse. Manta refuses Arthur's help and allows himself to fall into a fissure. The Atlanteans and Shin safely escape and decide that Orm has redeemed himself. Arthur and Mera plan to inform Atlantis that Orm died on the condition that he remains hidden, vacating to the surface world. Believing the unification of the underwater kingdoms and the surface world is necessary to prevent further damage to the oceans and planet, Arthur reveals Atlantis' existence through an announcement at the United Nations, declaring his intentions of making the kingdom a member state.

TRAILER
The Story:
A New World: Daryl Dixon washes ashore in France, far from his home in the US. The apocalypse apparently isn't global, and France has its own struggles with walkers and rebuilding society.
Facing the Past: Daryl grapples with how he ended up in France and what it means for his future. There might be flashbacks or hints about his journey across the Atlantic.
Mysterious People: He encounters a young boy and a religious community seeking a fresh start. However, not everyone in France is trustworthy. A potentially dangerous and autocratic group based in Paris seems to be a major threat.

Here are some additional details about The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, 2023:
Specifics on the New Threat:
The splintered autocratic movement centered in Paris might be called "The Cause" based on some online discussions. Their motives and methods of control remain unclear.
Daryl's Internal Struggles:
Beyond finding his way back to the US (if that's even his goal), Daryl likely wrestles with isolation and a sense of loss in this unfamiliar land.
A New Kind of Walker:
The series might introduce a new type of walker, possibly one affected by the unique environment of France.
Character Dynamics:
The relationship between Daryl and the young boy he encounters could be a highlight, offering a chance for emotional connection and protection.
The religious community might play a significant role, offering Daryl either refuge or potential conflict depending on their beliefs and agenda.
Possible Influences:
Some speculate the series might draw inspiration from European zombie lore, potentially adding a different flavor to the familiar walker threat.
Finding the Show:
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon aired on AMC and AMC+ in 2023. You might be able to stream it depending on your subscription service.
Fan Theories:
There's online speculation about how Daryl ended up in France. Did he drift across the Atlantic, or was there a more deliberate reason for his arrival?
Some fans theorize that Daryl's mission might connect to the CRM (Civic Republic Military) from other Walking Dead spin-offs, but this remains unconfirmed.
The Walking Dead: Dead City is an American post-apocalyptic horror drama television series created by Eli Jorné for AMC, based on The Walking Dead characters Maggie and Negan. It is the first sequel to The Walking Dead television series, and the fifth series in The Walking Dead franchise, sharing continuity with the other television series. Jorné serves as showrunner.
TRAILER
Premise:
The Location: Years after the walker outbreak, Maggie finds herself venturing into a decaying New York City, isolated from the mainland. This concrete jungle is overrun with walkers, but also holds new threats – human survivors who've built their own society amidst the ruins.
The Mission: Maggie's primary motivation is to find her kidnapped son, Hershel.
The Unlikely Duo: Maggie begrudgingly teams up with Negan, the man who brutally murdered her husband Glenn in the original series.
The Spark: The story ignites when Maggie's son, Hershel, is kidnapped from their community, the Bricks (formerly Hilltop). The culprit? The Croat, a ruthless former Savior who has carved out his own territory in post-apocalyptic Manhattan.
Facing the Past: Determined to save Hershel, Maggie seeks out Negan, the infamous leader of the Saviors responsible for much suffering, including Glenn's death. Negan is on the run from New Babylon, a faction with its own law and order, after supposedly killing five people.
A Forged Alliance: Despite her intense hatred for Negan, Maggie proposes a deal: a safe haven for Negan's young companion, Ginny, in exchange for his help navigating the treacherous Manhattan and finding Hershel. Negan, with his experience and knowledge of the brutal world, agrees.
Manhattan's Challenges: Their journey is fraught with danger. The city is teeming with walkers, some transformed in horrifying ways due to the environment. They also encounter human communities with their own rules and agendas, not all friendly. Maggie wrestles with her inner demons as she's forced to rely on Negan, the constant reminder of her tragic loss.
Unveiling Secrets: As they delve deeper into Manhattan, they uncover secrets about the Croat and his motives for kidnapping Hershel. This may involve past connections or a larger plan at play.
Confrontation and Sacrifice: The climax likely involves a confrontation with the Croat. Maggie and Negan may have to work together strategically to overcome the Croat's forces and save Hershel. This may involve some level of sacrifice, raising the stakes and testing their fragile alliance.
The Aftermath: The season finale will likely deal with the aftermath of the rescue mission. Will Maggie and Negan find a way to move forward, or will their bond shatter due to the ordeal? Did their experience in Manhattan change them? The fate of Hershel and the state of their newfound community, the Bricks, also hang in the balance.
Beyond Season 1: Hints suggest unresolved issues and lingering threats. Season 2 might explore the fallout from the events in Manhattan and how it impacts Maggie's leadership and the community. Negan's future and his potential redemption arc could also be further explored.
The story explores themes of survival, revenge, and the possibility of forgiveness in a world forever changed. They'll face both the dangers of the undead and the challenges of navigating a complex human society within the crumbling city.

FINAL SEASON
PREMISE
Ten years ago in "The Great Crumble", society collapsed due to a viral pandemic of a disease known as the Sick (or the H5G9 virus), wiping out most of the world's human population. At the same time, many babies start to be born as mute hybrids with animal body parts and other characteristics.
Unsure whether hybrids are the cause of the virus or a result of it, many humans fear and hunt them. Gus, a part-deer hybrid, lives in the wilderness with his father whom he calls "Pubba". Pubba dies when Gus is nine years old and Gus discovers a box his father buried beneath a tree that contains what Gus believes is a photograph of his mother, with the word "Colorado" written on it.
Gus accidentally starts a fire, which brings hunters who try to kill him, but he is saved by Tommy Jepperd, a lone traveller also drawn by the fire. Jepperd tries to leave Gus, but the boy insists that he escort him to Colorado to find his mother, and he relents.
The story also follows Dr. Aditya Singh as he tries to find a cure for the Sick, which his wife has lived with for years; and Bear, who is the leader and founder of the Animal Army which saves and protects hybrids. Bear is looking for her sister Wendy, a part-pig hybrid rescued by Aimee Eden, a former therapist whose sanctuary for hybrids is called "The Preserve".
El Conde (lit. 'The Count') is a 2023 Chilean black comedy horror film directed by Pablo Larraín and written by Larraín and Guillermo Calderón.

TRAILER
PLOT
In the 18th century, Claude Pinochet, a royalist French soldier, is discovered to be a vampire and survives an attempt to kill him. Witnessing the French Revolution and the execution of Marie Antoinette, he fakes his death and flees abroad, participating in the suppression of revolutionary upheavals over the next two centuries. Eventually, he ends up in Chile in 1935 and joins the Chilean Army under the name Augusto Pinochet. Rising to become a general, he overthrows the socialist government of Salvador Allende in 1973 and becomes the country's dictator, demanding that he be addressed as "The Count" by his family. When authorities begin investigating his ill-gotten wealth and human rights abuses after he leaves office, he fakes his death again and retires to a remote farm.
After 250 years of existence, he gradually loses his will to live, worrying his wife Lucía, and his long-time butler, Fyodor, a white Russian whom Pinochet bit and turned into a vampire. Fyodor takes up Augusto's military uniform and goes on a gruesome killing spree to find and consume human hearts in Santiago. Thinking that their father was responsible and anxious to receive their inheritance, the Pinochet children hire a nun, Carmen, to exorcise and kill Augusto under the guise of auditing the family's wealth, and go to the farm, followed by Carmen, who charms Augusto with her fluency in French. Augusto later discovers that Fyodor is having an affair with Lucía but tolerates it as he has grown tired of her. Carmen extensively interviews the household over their legal troubles and finances, assembling a dossier which she hides in her room.
Carmen eventually reveals her true identity as a nun to Augusto and tries to exorcise him, but is overwhelmed by his presence and ends up having sexual intercourse with him, allowing him to transform her into a vampire. This prompts the arrival of Margaret Thatcher, who is revealed to be Claude's mother, having abandoned him at an orphanage at birth after she was raped and bitten by a Strigoi.
Margaret, jealous of Carmen's claims to Augusto's love, orders her son to kill her. Instead, Augusto shows off his wealth to Carmen, whereupon Carmen reveals that she has been feigning her attraction to him, and that her becoming a vampire was part of her mission on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church to infiltrate the Pinochets and gather information on their corrupt dealings. As she flees, she is captured and guillotined by Fyodor, who burns her dossier. Fyodor, Lucía, and the Pinochet children then attempt to kill Augusto and Margaret to gain their inheritance, but Augusto kills Lucía by driving a stake through her heart and beheads Fyodor with a saw.
The children are left to salvage what they could of the farm. As they leave, a group of nuns arrives to look over the now emptied property. Augusto and Margaret rejuvenate themselves with vampire hearts and leave to start a new life. Augusto, now a boy, chooses to remain in Chile, saying more leftists will emerge.

Oliver reveals he is studying statistical inference and conducting a not-specified research project. As he is carrying a garment bag, Hadley assumes he is also going to a wedding, which he does not contest.
Trade years of your life for money! We’re in Berlin, in the not-too-distant future, where a method of transferring years of your life from one person to another has changed aging completely. For those who can afford the procedure and have a match willing to donate years. If they donate years of their life, they are compensated rather generously. However, these DNA matches also tend to be found within communities where people are already in dire need of money. The biotech start-up AEON is a billion-dollar pharmaceutical company at the forefront of this technology, but the CEO has yet to find her own DNA match. As a rule, you can no longer look at someone and know how old they are. Someone can be 18 years old (the age when one can start donating years), but look 20 years older because they’ve donated two decades to afford the life of their dreams. Another may look 25, but really be 60 years old and have simply received (or bought) extra years from their match. Age is now “chronological age” or your practical age based on whether you’ve given or received years. It truly is a brilliant setting and right off the bat, there’s a focus on both the good and the bad. Or rather, the possibilities for humans and the danger in how humans can misuse this new technology.
