The new trailer for Orion Pictures’ The Prodigy finds Orange is the New Black‘s Taylor Schilling welcoming a new addition to her family. She’s a proud mom when her infant son speaks well before the time when he should be able to communicate, and is astounded by his progress. However, her pride turns to fear as her son grows and his intelligence seems to be derived from some terrifying supernatural force.
Taylor Schilling leads the cast which includes Jackson Robert Scott (It, Fear the Walking Dead), Peter Mooney (Burden of Truth, Rookie Blue), and Colm Feore (The Umbrella Academy, House of Cards). Nicholas McCarthy (The Pact, At Devil’s Door) directed from a script by Jeff Buhler (The Midnight Meat Train).

“In her much-anticipated foray into the horror-thriller genre, Taylor Schilling stars in The Prodigy as Sarah, a mother whose young son Miles’ disturbing behavior signals that an evil, possibly supernatural force has overtaken him. Fearing for her family’s safety, Sarah must grapple with her maternal instinct to love and protect Miles in favor of investigating what – or who – is causing his dark turn. She is forced to look for answers in the past, taking the audience on a wild ride; one where the line between perception and reality remains blurry.”

Netflix’s second season of Marvel’s The Punisher will debut on January 18, 2019. The much-anticipated season two of the comic book-inspired series’ premiere date announcement arrived with a one-minute video featuring series star Jon Bernthal and photos from the new season.

Frank Castle (Bernthal) can run but he can’t hide from who he’s meant to be. Season two finds Frank in all too familiar territory. With Castle’s former brother-in-arms Billy Russo (Barnes) slowly beginning to heal from the traumatic brain injury Frank inflicted on him, it’s only a matter of time before Billy starts to put the pieces of the puzzle back together.
In season two, former marine-turned-vigilante Frank Castle has been living a quiet life on the road until he suddenly becomes embroiled in the attempted murder of a young girl (Giorgia Whigham). As he is drawn into the mystery surrounding her and those in pursuit of the information she holds, Castle attracts a new target on his back as new and old enemies force him to confront whether he should accept his destiny and embrace a life as The Punisher.
