Jordan Peele’s love for the strange and the supernatural has always been loud and clear, and with The Twilight Zone reboot, he got to play host to a modern version of the legendary 1959 series he grew up admiring. Much like Rod Serling did back in the day, Peele used the format to peel back the layers of society’s darkest corners, mixing horror with moral dilemmas and mind games. Though the revival didn’t stick around as long as fans might have hoped, it packed a punch in its short run and offered a platform for some solid talent.

The anthology came and went, but the faces from the series have moved on to pretty interesting chapters in 2025. From high-stakes dramas to animated franchises, here’s what the key cast members are busy with now.

Harrison Ford is 82 and has been enjoying somewhat of a renaissance of late. 2023 became the year of Ford giving a crap again after the early 2000s and 2010s seemed to be something of a slog for the veteran star. Not only did he appear to be going through the motions in a lot of his movies, he also became one of Hollywood's most notorious grumps, rivaling Ridley Scott for the most amusingly irascible man in the industry.

But that has changed in recent years. "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" might have been a massive flop, but none of that was down to Ford, who in stark contrast to his performance in 2008's "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," seemed to truly care about delivering a heartfelt Indy portrayal. Ford also started pushing his boundaries with roles in "Yellowstone" spin-off "1923" and Apple TV+'s "Shrinking," both...

Prior to landing the gig playing helmsman Hikaru Sulu on "Star Trek," actor George Takei landed a few dubbing jobs that led to him providing the English-language voices for Japanese films like "Rodan" and "Godzilla Raids Again." His first credited on-scree film role was for the 1958 adventure flick "Ice Palace" with Richard Burton. Throughout the early 1960s, he continued to play small roles in large Hollywood film productions, although his career began to thrive on television, with Takei landing guest spots on some of the hottest shows of the day. Indeed, he wound up being on episodes of "Perry Mason," "The Twilight Zone," "My Three Sons," "Death Valley Days," and "I Spy."

"Star Trek" was a three-year supporting gig for Takei, and it initially wasn't a hugely successful show, ending in 1969. After that, Takei merely turned back to other one-shot appearances on shows like "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" and "Ironside.

Created by Jason Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt, and Joe Kelly, Ted Lasso is one of the most popular and loved sports comedy dramas. It is one of the most-watched shows on Apple TV+, and it’s going to be back with season four. Initially concluding the series after three seasons, Jason Sudeikis announced during a podcast interview that the team is back in the writers’ room and is working on season four.

The actor and co-creator of the show did not specify why they decided to return for the fourth season, but fans are excited to see where the AFC Richmond team is. The announcement of the show’s return has given the audience a chance to revisit the show and share their views and opinions on what can be included or avoided in the upcoming season. And we have discovered that an episode in the show has a reference to a legendary filmmaker.

Numerous actors appeared in several of the series that followed Star Trek: The Original Series, among them Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, Jonathan Frakes, Vaughn Armstrong, Randy Oglesby, Steve Rankin, Tim Russ, Clint Howard, Armin Shimerman, and Lee Arenberg. And a few guest-starred in The Original Series And several of the shows that followed, including Barrett-Roddenberry, Howard, and the late Joseph Ruskin.

Ruskin’s direct association with Star Trek spanned from 1968 to 2001, as he appeared on Tos, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise, as well as two video games and the feature film, Star Trek: Insurrection. His first appearance, as Galt in the second-season Tos episode “The Gamesters of Triskelion,” was probably his most famous outing. He also played a Klingon, Tumek, in the DS9 installments “The House of Quark” and “Looking for par’Mach in All the Wrong Places,” a Cardassian in the DS9 hour “Improbable Cause,” a Vulcan in Voyager’s “Gravity,...

When reality begins to catch up to dystopian fiction, such speculative stories lose their edge over time. The same can be said about the latest entries in Charlie Brooker's "Black Mirror," a show once hailed as bleakly provocative in the best sense of the term. It's possible our current reality is so hopelessly strange that the show's cautionary, pessimistic stories can't help but feel hollow in comparison.

All the same, "Black Mirror" has consistently told timely, thought-provoking tales about technological excess, absurdist metropolises, and the steady erasure of everything that makes us human. The series brings a distinct vibe to mainstream television, one where we hunger for stories that push the limits of the genre while compelling us to slow down and think. There's a conscious desire for episodes that take wild swings, especially ones that combine the chilling coldness of technology with the warmth of human connection (which...

Put the golf clubs back in their bag and leave the lodge if you haven't watched "Through the Valley," the second episode of the second season of "The Last of Us." Spoilers incoming — don't say you weren't warned!

People who played the 2020 video game sequel "The Last of Us Part II" all knew this was coming, but they might not have expected it this soon. In the second season of game creator Neil Druckmann and prestige TV veteran Craig Mazin's adaptation of "The Last of Us" on HBO, viewers watched in shock and horror as, at the end of the season's second episode "Through the Valley," Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) kills Joel Miller, one of the series protagonists who's played by Pedro Pascal. At the end of the show's first season, Joel kills an entire building's worth of rebel Fireflies to protect his surrogate daughter Ellie (Bella Ramsey), who's immune...

There are fewer methods to remove a title from the Paramount+ Keep Watching row than some other streamers provide, but it is still possible.

Paramount+ is a general entertainment streaming service, and that means you can find just about every kind of content on the service. From shows and movies that are decades old like “The Twilight Zone” to new originals like “1923,” the range of titles on Paramount+ is truly impressive.

That being the case, Paramount+ might have a title that viewers decide to try, but don’t intend to finish for whatever reason. With that in mind, we decided to see how easy Paramount+ makes it to remove a show or movie from its Keep Watching row — find out the results of that test below!

Netflix’s Black Mirror has been toying with reality, but the franchise’s latest offering- season 7 might be taking things too far. Created by Charlie Brooker, the series is a sci-fi anthology, exploring various themes. Most episodes are set in a near-future dystopia containing ultra futuristic technology.

The series is inspired by 1959’s American television anthology series, created by Rod Serling- The Twilight Zone– and uses the themes of technology and media to comment on contemporary social issues. Now, with Netflix dropping its first episode of S7, fans have wasted no time diving into the dark twists of Common People. Alternate endings and fan theories are already flooding the internet, some so clever and well crafted that they could leave the creator, Brooker, scratching his head.

All in all, there are 33 episodes across seven series and a special, along with a 2018 interactive film,...

Korean scripted shows, or K-dramas, have looked to American and British sources of inspiration before, even providing their own spin on Agatha Christie's British literary detective Miss Marple. For the 2020 psychological thriller "The World of the Married," however, the show's creative team took inspiration from far darker and more recent source material. Indeed, the acclaimed 2015 British series "Doctor Foster," which features a strong early performance from Jodie Comer, served as the narrative basis for the K-drama. Though both shows share an underlying conflict and escalating brutal stakes, the Korean iteration deviates from the British show quickly and noticeably.

Both stories focus on a successful doctor: Gemma Foster (Suranne Jones) in the original and Ji Sun-woo (Kim Hee-ae) in the Korean version. Seemingly happily married, the protagonists learn that their husbands are cheating on them with younger women, leading to an unraveling of more devastating secrets. The wronged wives pursue...

Director Ryan Coogler is making history with his highly rated movies, and now he's making his way to television to reboot a beloved science fiction series. While his recently released action horror,Sinners, starring Michael B. Jordan, is gaining praise all-around, Coogler revealed that his X-Files reboot will be his next project, and he has been speaking to Gillian Anderson about a possible return.

The X-Filestook over television in the '90s with its blended plots that combined genres like supernatural fiction, horror, mystery, science fiction and thriller. Those are right up Coogler's alley, who has directed and written various hit films, including Marvel's Black Panther.

During an appearance on Last Podcast on the Left, hosted by Marcus Parks, Ed Larson, and Henry Zebrowksi, Coogler spoke a little bit about the reboot. The 38-year-old said, "I'm working on X-Files. That's what's immediately next. So, I've been excited about that for a long time,...

One of the most anticipated horror movies of the year (if not one of the most anticipated movies of any kind) has arrived in the form of "Sinners." Directed by Ryan Coogler, of "Black Panther" fame, reuniting with "Creed" star Michael B. Jordan, this big-budget vampire flick is, to put it mildly, a big deal. In no small part because it has earned rave reviews thus far.

Coogler's latest takes place in the 1930s and centers on a pair of twin brothers (played by Jordan) who are trying to leave their troubled lives behind by returning to their hometown to start a juke joint. Unfortunately, things go awry when vampires turn up to throw a wrench in the gears. Horror ensues. "Sinners" is inspired by the classic anthology series "The Twilight Zone," at least in part. That being the case,...

Rhea Seehorn is set to receive SeriesFest’s “Excellence in Acting Award” during the festival’s 11th season on May 2, Variety can exclusively announce.

Seehorn will be recognized at the annual television festival’s Soirée event. The Emmy Award-nominated actress recently starred in and executive produced “Cooper’s Bar,” which began as an independent series before being picked up at AMC Networks. Prior to her Emmy-nominated work in “Cooper’s Bar,” she starred in “Better Call Saul” as Kim Wexler (which landed her two Emmy nominations), “Veep,” “Whitney” and the 2019 reboot of “The Twilight Zone” narrated by Jordan Peele.

Black Mirror Season 7 Episode Poster Lineup(Photo Credit –Netflix)

Ever since the first season of Black Mirror aired in 2011, the show has gained a cult following from sci-fi buffs across the globe. Black Mirror is a sci-fi anthology series that is said to be inspired by another cult show, The Twilight Zone. Each episode is a standalone story set in the future or a twisted, alternative reality.

The much-anticipated seventh season of Black Mirror, comprising six episodes, recently premiered on Netflix. Overall, the latest season is Certified Fresh and has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 86%. For our readers, we have ranked each episode of Season 7 from worst to best according to its Rotten Tomatoes score. In case you still haven’t, you can start by watching the best-rated Black Mirror episode and then checking out other episodes in that order.

Black Mirror Season 7 Episodes – Rotten Tomatoes Ratings & Ranks Rank 6 Black Mirror...

The most watched series on Netflix today is a horror-infused science fiction program in the vein of The Twilight Zone. The show in question just released its seventh season on the platform last week, which likely has something to do with its current chart position. If you haven’t pieced it together, I’m talking about the celebrated anthology series Black Mirror.

Each episode of Black Mirror is self-contained. Many of the episodes take inspiration from current events, as well as paralleling themes from celebrated anthology efforts of yesteryear. Many of the series episodes tap into the darker side of technology.

Charlie Brooker created the show for Channel 4 in his native UK. From the third season on, however, the program has been a Netflix original production. The show has been around since 2011. Yet, Brooker and company don’t crank out new seasons with any real urgency. It seems the...

In a 2013 interview with Games Radar discussing the second season of "Black Mirror," creator Charlie Brooker revealed how his show had nearly borrowed the framing device from the hit 1960s anthology show "The Twilight Zone." Just as showrunner Rod Serling would talk directly to the camera at the start and finish of every episode, Brooker nearly did the same for every episode of "Black Mirror" season 1.

The main argument for this was that it would've helped ease a lot of the network's concerns. Brooker explained that studios are often reluctant to do anthology shows in part because there are no recurring characters for audiences to latch onto, like there would be for any other type of TV series. The closest thing "Black Mirror" could do — at least until it started playing around with sequels in season 7 — was to throw in a recurring narrator-type character.

"Rod Serling was the unifying character,...

Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror is one of the most loved contemporary series. Set in the near future, the techno-thriller anthology introduces a different technological marvel in each episode, and explores profound philosophical questions and themes with technology as the centre. One of its most celebrated episodes is the season 4 episode ‘USS Callister.’

A parody of and a tribute to Star Trek, the USS Callister sees an in-universe, multiplayer, role-playing game called Infinity, created by the episode’s central character, Robert Daly, played by Jesse Plemons, who uses the VR game to take revenge on his co-workers. The makers of the episode also ideated a spin-off series on the same.

Black Mirror has been one of Netflix's major successes since it first shattered screens in 2011. Fourteen years and seven seasons later, the British anthology series still finds new ways to shock and awe its audience and bring them all the feels.

A brief introduction: I love science fiction. I devoured Isaac Asimov's robot stories as a kid. When the anthology The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One 1929-1964 was first published in 1970, I was enthralled. Television science fiction wasn't quite as good, but it wasn't bad, either. Star Trek is often considered the gold standard of Sf on TV, but nothing compares to The Twilight Zone.

There were science fiction shows before The Twilight Zone, and we've seen more than a few since. It's been rebooted several times, but not even the amazing Jordan Peele matched the original series for its overall quality and (admittedly occasional) sheer brilliance.

Interestingly enough, Shawn Levy’s Star Wars movie hasn’t even been officially announced by Lucasfilm – although every piece of information we have points to it being in the works – but we’re getting more and more casting rumors.

We have already reported how Sarah Snook and Jesse Plemons have been offered roles in the upcoming movie, and if all of these rumors prove to be true, then Levy is being very ambitious with his project.

Namely, a new casting rumor has just been revealed and we are happy to share it with you, because it seems that the movie could add another major name!

Doctor Who has paid tribute to classic series cast member Jean Marsh following her death at age 90. Marsh played The First Doctor's companion Sara Kingdom in the 1960s.

BBC News reported that Marsh's friend, the director Sir Michael Lindsay-Hogg, confirmed that Marsh died "peacefully in bed looked after by one of her very loving carers" on Sunday (April 13). Doctor Who later published its own tribute to Marsh on X, saying it was "sad to report" news of the former companion's death.

Jean Marsh, who played Bavmorda, the evil queen in 1988’s Willow, and the head-swapping Mombi in 1985’s Return to Oz, has passed away.

Through her work in both Willow and Return to Oz, Jean Marsh left a genuine mark on young viewers, playing a biting antagonist that embodies the evil spirit which presses down on our heroes. Yet, her brief appearance via archival footage for the short-lived Willow series was a most welcome tribute. She would even earn a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress for Willow. And that she could stand out in Return to Oz – a movie crammed with nightmarish images – really says something.

Other notable big screen roles for Jean Marsh include 1980’s The Changeling, Alfred Hitchcock’s Frenzy (1972), horror film Dark Places (1973), and Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s epic Cleopatra (1963).

While most of us here may remember Jean Marsh for her work in film, she was predominantly featured on the small screen.

Jean Marsh, the Emmy-winning star of Upstairs, Downstairs, has passed away.

Per the New York Times, Marsh died at her London home on Sunday. According to her close friend, filmmaker Michael Lindsay-Hogg, Marsh's death was attributed to complications from dementia. She was 90 years old.

Jean Lyndsay Torren Marsh was born on July 1, 1934. She attended theater school before making her on-screen debut at the age of 18 in the 1952 TV movie The Infinite Shoeblack. She's make her feature film debut the following year in 1953's The Limping Man. By 1959, she relocated to the United States, picking up a role in the first season of The Twilight Zone as a robot companion created for a prisoner (played by Jack Warden) on an asteroid.

In the early 1970s, Marsh helped launch the TV series Upstairs, Downstairs. The show lasted from 1971 to 1975 in England and from 1974 to 1977 in the United States. Marsh played the role of Rose,...

Jean Marsh, the creator and star of the beloved 1970s series “Upstairs, Downstairs,” died Sunday of dementia at her home in London. She was 90.

Marsh’s close friend Michael Lindsay-Hogg confirmed her death and its cause to the New York Times.

“Upstairs, Downstairs” aired from 1971 to 1975 in England and 1974 to 1977 in the United States. The show was about the Bellamy family and the staff that kept their elegant townhome running. Marsh starred as Rose, the head parlor maid.

In 2010 Marsh decided to return to the show by way of a reboot. “At first, I wasn’t sure if it was a retrograde thing to do,” she told the Telegraph at the time. “But then I thought: am I being pompous? It was a wonderful part. I think Rose got into me as much as I got into Rose.”

The reboot took place only six years after the show’s original...

Jean Marsh, the Emmy-winning actress and co-creator behind the acclaimed ’70s ITV period drama Upstairs, Downstairs, has died at the age of 90.

Her cause of death was a result of complications from dementia, her close friend Michael Lindsay-Hogg, told the New York Times, which first reported the news.

Before there was Downton Abbey, the seminal series — set at the turn of the 20th century across nearly three decades of Edwardian England — traced the lives of the fortunate Bellamy family and its servants, set against the backdrop of the era’s sociopolitical upheaval. Marsh starred as Mrs. Rose Buck, the household’s parlormaid, winning a Lead Actress Emmy for the role in 1975 (she was also nominated the year prior and year following). The British series ran from 1971 through 1975, encompassing 68 episodes. It was later revived in 2010 for two seasons for BBC One, tracing the family after the events of the mothership under...

Jean Marsh, best known for both starring and co-creating the British drama series Upstairs, Downstairs, died at the age of 90 on Sunday, April 13. Marsh died from complications of dementia, according to filmmaker Michael Lindsay-Hogg, who was her close friend, via The New York Times. She was in her London home. Marsh was born on July 1, 1934, in the Stoke Newington district in London, England. She studied acting and mime as a child, with her first involvement in the entertainment business coming as a cabaret singer, model, and dancer. Her first time on a Broadway stage was in a production of Much Ado About Nothing in the 1950s, with British actor, director, and producer John Gielgud. Her first onscreen role came in the 1952 BBC TV movie The Infinite Shoeblack. Her other early roles included episodes of The Twilight Zone (as a female robot), Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color, and I Spy.

Jean Marsh, the sleek British actress who co-created Upstairs, Downstairs and won an Emmy for her performance as the prim and proper parlormaid Rose Buck on the acclaimed ITV drama, has died. She was 90.

Marsh died Sunday at her home in London from complications of dementia, filmmaker Michael Lindsay-Hogg told The New York Times.

Doctor Who historians know Marsh for her portrayal of Sara Kingdom, who ably assists William Hartnell’s Doctor in his fight against the mutant Daleks, on the third season of the BBC sci-fi series in 1965-66.

A year earlier, she had played King Edward’s French princess sister, Joanna, on the show’s “The Crusade” serial, then returned as the ruthless enchantress Morgaine for 1989’s “Battlefield” storyline.

In the history of the zombie genre, those shuffling meat-munchers have been known to do more than just moan and groan. The likes of "Warm Bodies," "Return of the Living Dead," "Z Nation," and "iZombie" have all seen members of the undead actually get chatty on occasion. But did that particular element ever find its way into "The Walking Dead" at any point during the show's 11-season run?

The small screen adaptation of Robert Kirkman's hellish, post-apocalyptic comic books included some true horrors, many of which were brought about not by the titular terror wandering the world but by the last dregs of humanity trying to avoid them. Admittedly, though, the one thing that stayed consistent was the walkers themselves. Traveling down stairs, alone or in pairs, everyone knew where they stood with the show's undead (which were born from a virus in France and only ever focused on...

Angel Studios has set a major box office record with the release of The King of Kings. The animated film, featuring Oscar Isaac as the voice of Jesus Christ, was already heading into a strong weekend with around $14.6 million earned from presales, and now it's officially set a new high in theaters.

As announced by the studio, The King of Kings has set the record for the best opening weekend for an animated Biblical film in box office history. Its last reported numbers, per Deadline, were at around $17.6 million. This dethrones DreamWorks Animation's The Prince of Egypt, which was released 27 years ago, for the record. The movie opened in Friday in over 3,200 locations nationwide.

The reception for The King of Kings has also been very strong. While the reviews are a bit mixed, with The King of Kings currently holding a score of 63% on Rotten Tomatoes, the audience score...

Although the 21st century has seen a terrific rise in prestige television that has expanded the possibilities of prolonged storytelling, “Black Mirror” has been an experiment like no other. The BBC series, which gradually shifted to Netflix, is an anthology story examining the various sinister ways technology has complicated sociology, politics, and morality as it rapidly expands its grasp on everyday life. While the obvious comparison is to “The Twilight Zone,” “Black Mirror” exists within a gray area in which the stories don’t necessarily feel supernatural. While not specifically intended to be predictive, “Black Mirror” has succeeded in sparking debates that are either likely to come up in the near future or have already become relevant.

“Black Mirror” has returned for a surprising comeback in its seventh season, which includes some groundbreaking new concepts and clever sequels to previously established storylines. While an episode like “Eulogy” aimed to be a more heartfelt,...

If you are the parent of a curious child whose reading level is well above their age, and, most importantly, seems to be seriously into horror, you're going to want to introduce them to the literature of Stephen King earlier than might feel responsible. If they can handle mainstream screamfests like "Poltergeist," "Alien," and "The Omen" (1976), they are ready to begin their lifelong journey through King's oeuvre. And he is so accessible as a storyteller in terms of vocabulary that much of what might seem beyond a burgeoning reader's ken is surprisingly graspable. The content can be a bit much, but King's edgiest works are unlikely to appeal to kids in the first place. They're not going to get a whole lot out of "Gerald's Game." They will want to read "Pet Sematary."

Where should they start? That's easy. "Night Shift." Published in 1978, King's collection of 20 short stories range from...

Temperance "Bones" Brennan is easily Emily Deschanel's biggest and most well-known role. The Fox procedural became a popular Thursday night hit for the network, running for an impressive 12 seasons, which kept Dr. Brennan and her partner Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) in the public consciousness for more than a decade. But "Bones" provided Deschanel with more than a high-profile starring role. By the time the show wrapped up in 2017, the actor had become a producer on the show and also made her directing debut, helming a particularly important episode in the series' history.

It took a full 11 seasons before Deschanel would get her chance to direct, but when she did finally step into the role, she oversaw the return of a beloved character in the form of Eric Millegan's Zack Addy, who left "Bones" after the third season. That season ended with the Addy being sent to a...

This article contains spoilers for "Black Mirror" season 7, episode 6 -- "USS Callister: Into Infinity"

When Netflix ordered "Black Mirror" season 7 with a sequel to one of the show's best episodes -- the season 4 opener, "USS Callister" -- fans of Charlie Brooker's dystopian sci-fi anthology perked up their ears. When the first trailer for the pitch-black show's newest season dropped, glimpses of high-octane shootouts and both versions of Nanette (Cristin Milioti) meeting face to face were more than enough to further intrigue the fandom. Now, "USS Callister: Into Infinity" is actually here, and it brings us one particularly big surprise: Jesse Plemons' villainous Robert Daly is back, and he's worse than ever.

The original "USS Callister" outdid the classic "The Twilight Zone" episode "It's a Good Life" by giving it a high tech twist. Daly is introduced as the chief technology officer of Callister, a company behind the online game "Infinity.

Paramount+ is making it easy for fans of SkyMed to jump back into the series, in particular those who enjoy binge-watching. The streamer released the upcoming third season’s official trailer and confirmed all nine episodes of the new season will stream on May 15, 2025.

Could this be the year “Black Mirror” finally reflects gold?

After more than a decade of mind-bending morality tales and dystopian nightmares, Netflix’s “Black Mirror” might finally be on the verge of achieving a long-elusive milestone: an Emmy nomination for outstanding limited or anthology series.

While the anthology has long been critically lauded — and an Emmy magnet when it was eligible in the television movie category — the Television Academy’s 2021 rule change, which moved anthologies alongside miniseries, has made it harder for shows like “Black Mirror” to compete on equal footing. However, the seventh season, which dropped April 10, is drawing some of its most substantial critical acclaim. And with a submission landscape thinner than usual, this might be creator Charlie Brooker’s best shot yet at one of the top prizes.

First launched in 2011 by Brooker, “Black Mirror” has taken its cues from classics like “The Twilight Zone,” with...

Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror has often been critiqued for losing the sharp edge that once defined its bleak, cautionary storytelling. The series, known for its grim take on technological advancement, built its reputation on a pessimistic view of how innovation might spiral out of control. However, some argue that Black Mirror, much like its spiritual predecessor The Twilight Zone, occasionally finds room for hope amidst the darkness.

Still, there’s a growing gap between how fast technology integrates into everyday life and how quickly stories reflecting that evolution are created. As a result, media that not only portrays the dangers of technology but also explores its emotional or even optimistic possibilities is becoming more relevant—and more necessary. Black Mirror Season 7, Episode 5, titled “Eulogy,” falls into that emerging category. Rather than leaning into pure dystopia, it uses technology as a narrative tool to tell a story that’s both emotionally resonant and thoughtfully restrained.

It’s been almost two years since Netflix brought us new episodes of Black Mirror, creator Charlie Brooker’s answer to The Twilight Zone. Coming off a season that covered A.I., paparazzi, the ethics of true crime and replica cyborgs loaded with their human originals’ consciousness, what can you expect in Season Seven?

Here’s a minimally spoiler-y sketch of each episode to prepare you…

Episode One: ‘Common People’

What It’s About: Amanda (Rashida Jones) has an inoperable brain tumor, but Gaynor (Tracee Ellis Ross) tells Amanda’s husband Mike (Chris O’Dowd) about an exciting new technology from her employer, Rivermind: the company can essentially replace the damaged brain tissue with a cloud backup of Amanda’s consciousness, and it only costs $300 a month! That might be nothing to another family, but for a teacher and a welder, it’s a lot, and Mike is forced into extremely...

Jordan Peele became a modern-day horror master with his three directorials, namely, Get Out, Us, and Nope. His debut, Get Out, earned him an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, and he has become one of the most celebrated directors in the past few years. He is currently working on his next film, which is set to release next year.

Peele has always expressed his love for the 1959 horror series The Twilight Zone. Rod Serling’s anthology series focused on the macabre and the metaphysical, with each episode leaning into horror and supernatural territory. In fact, one episode of the series’ first season reportedly inspired Peel to write Us.

Apple TV+ was one of the latest giants in the business to make the shift to streaming and join the wars against Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Max, and Disney+. The platform has been the home for some incredible shows. It features ongoing hits like Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, and Severance, to cancelled projects like Time Bandits.

Earlier this year, Apple TV+ reported a loss of $1 billion in its streaming vertical (via Variety), but it still seems to be going strong in producing content. With over 45 million subscribers, the platform has a host of new shows to offer, with some incredible talent involved both in front and behind the camera. Here are 15 upcoming shows from Apple TV+ that have already been filmed.

When it comes to anthology series that dive into some zany concepts, Netflix has the market cornered on two fronts: Love, Death + Robots, and Black Mirror. These series have served as some thought-provoking pieces of media that have looked into issues that are and could be plaguing the world.

Black Mirror, in particular, has one of the most intriguing premises, being an idea that really writes itself, given its nature. Very closely resembling the modern-day version of The Twilight Zone, the show first aired in 2011, a time when the tech landscape was vastly different than it is today.

Precisely for this reason, Charlie Brooker believes that he is not going to run out of ideas for the future of the show, Black Mirror. With how the show is, there is little chance of there never being things that it can play off of to generate interesting stories.

“You’re so pretty when you’re alive.”

In an era of appointment television where series like “The White Lotus” and “Reacher” seem to occupy space to the tune of millions of viewers each week, Netflix is sticking with its bingeable model with the drop of another must-see title. “Black Mirror,” the British television series famous for its convoluted anthology episode premises akin to the modern version of “The Twilight Zone,” returns for Season 7 with a new concept that feels familiar. An A-list cast in almost every episode, the series presents sequels to a couple of its highest-rated plots to date.

The result works wonders with a talented cast and storylines that continue to impress, while leaving room for other installments to entertain with original commentary on humanity’s reliance on evolving technology — often to heartwrenching resolutions.

In the modern era of television, it's hard to find a more resounding success story to rival "The Walking Dead." Based on Robert Kirkman's Image Comics series of the same name, the show premiered on AMC in 2010 and helped to redefine the zombie genre for modern times. It all starts when Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes emerges from a coma to find a world overrun by the undead. From there, it eventually became the biggest show on cable, spawning an entire multi-show franchise.

Rick served as the anchor of the series for its first eight seasons, but all good things must eventually come to an end. While the show did soldier on without him, it was confirmed in July 2018 that Lincoln was leaving "The Walking Dead" behind. At the time, this was a straight-up bombshell. It would be like...

For a science fiction series, "The Twilight Zone" had an incredibly broad range of genres that it pulled from. War stories, space adventures, horror tales, post-apocalyptic sagas, and tons of other settings popped up in all five seasons of Rod Serling's acclaimed anthology masterpiece. The series also featured several prominent Western-themed episodes, each with a distinct "Twilight Zone" twist.

Serling seemed to have a soft spot for the cowboy genre. After "The Twilight Zone" came to an end in 1964, he quickly followed it up with a full-blown Western series called "The Loner," which premiered on CBS the next year. "The Loner" was short-lived, but it made clear the affinity Serling had for Westerns, and "The Twilight Zone" has plenty of stories to choose from set in the old American West.

While everyone has their favorite "Twilight Zone" episodes, these particular Western episodes have stood the test of time and...

Larry Gelbart's TV adaptation of the 1970 Robert Altman movie "M*A*S*H" was, it should be remembered, one of the biggest hits of all time. The series debuted in 1972 and ran a chonky 256 episodes over the course of its 11 seasons. The show's finale episode, "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen," remains the highest-watched TV event in American history, excluding live broadcasts and Super Bowls. It was such a massive event, in fact, that there has been no attempt to cash in on, re-up, reboot, or make any follow-up shows to "M*A*S*H." Why mess with perfection? The show was an eloquent mix of slapstick gallows humor and wartime melancholy. It was so popular that it lasted longer than the actual Korean War (during which it was set).

Oh, wait. That's not accurate. The show "Trapper John, M.D.," itself a spinoff of Altman's film, aired for seven seasons from 1979-1986. It...
