This one-minute clip from Apple TV+’s Servant season four episode two is creepy, but not in a supernatural way. Instead, it’s creepy as in the entire neighborhood appears to have become infested with bed bugs. But is that really what’s going on? Odds are bed bugs are just a cover for something sinister that’s about to happen to the Turners.
Episode two of the fourth and final season is titled “Itch,” of course, and will find Leanne tormenting Dorothy as chaos overtakes Spruce Street. Episode two will premiere on Friday, January 20, 2023.
The 10-episode final season stars Lauren Ambrose as Dorothy Turner, Toby Kebbell as Sean Turner, Nell Tiger Free as Leanne Grayson, and Rupert Grint as Julian Pearce. Executive producer M. Night Shyamalan, Ishana Night Shyamalan, Carlo Mirabella-Davis, Dylan Holmes, Celine Held & Logan George, Kitty Green, Nimrod Antal, and Veronika Franz & Severin Fiala directed final season episodes.

Following the suspenseful season three finale, season four will bring the final chapter of the Turner story to an epic and emotional conclusion. Leanne’s war with the Church of Lesser Saints heightens, threatening Spruce street, the city of Philadelphia, and beyond. Meanwhile, the shattered Turner family must not only confront the increasing threat of Leanne but the certain reality that Dorothy is waking up.
As the Turner family brownstone continues to crumble, questions are finally answered: who is Leanne Grayson and who is the child in their home?

Marvel doesn’t want you to forget that Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, which released a new TV spot during the Buccaneers and Cowboys wild card game, will be available in 3D. The studio’s also busy hyping the fact the film was shot with IMAX cameras, and if you buy the more expensive ticket, you’ll be treated to 26% more picture due to IMAX’s 1.90:1 aspect ratio.
The first film in phase five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe stars Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man, Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne/The Wasp, Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror, Michelle Pfeiffer as Janet Van Dyne, Michael Douglas as Hank Pym, and Kathryn Newton as Cassie Lang. All six are featured on new character posters that accompanied the TV spot’s release.
The cast also includes David Dastmalchian as Veb, Katy O’Brian as Jentorra, William Jackson Harper as Quaz, and Bill Murray as Lord Krylar.
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania was directed by Peyton Reed and is set to open in theaters on Feb. 17, 2023. Kevin Feige and Stephen Broussard serve as producers.
The Plot: Superhero partners Scott Lang (Rudd) and Hope Van Dyne (Lilly) return to continue their adventures as Ant-Man and the Wasp. Together, with Hope’s parents Hank Pym (Douglas) and Janet Van Dyne (Pfeiffer), the family finds themselves exploring the Quantum Realm, interacting with strange new creatures and embarking on an adventure that will push them beyond the limits of what they thought was possible. Jonathan Majors joins the adventure as Kang.

Disney+ dropped the lengthy officially trailer for The Mandalorian season three during the Cowboys and Buccaneers wildcard game, giving Star Wars-loving Tampa Bay fans at least one reason to cheer after the team’s dismal first half performance. The new trailer finds the Mandalorian ready to head to Mandalore so that he may be forgiven for his transgressions.
The minute-and-a-half trailer provides plenty of clips of the Mandalorian and Grogu embarking on new adventures.

Members of the Critics Choice Association honored the best in films and television of 2022 at the 28th Annual Critics Choice Awards, hosted by Chelsea Handler. Everything Everywhere All At Once went into the night with the most film nominations (14) and Abbott Elementary topped the television nominees with six. And as it turns out, those leaders earned top honors.
Everything Everywhere All at Once picked up five awards including Best Picture, Best Director (Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheinert), Best Supporting Actor (Ke Huy Quan), Best Original Screenplay (Kwan & Scheinert), and Best Editing (Paul Rogers). Abbott Elementary was named Best Comedy Series, and Sheryl Lee Ralph earned the Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series award.
The final season of Better Call Saul went out with a bang, collecting Best Drama, Best Actor in a Drama Series (Bob Odenkirk), and Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (Giancarlo Esposito). The Dropout and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story each went home with two awards, with The Dropout named Best Limited Series and Weird picking up Best Movie Made for Television.
But before giving out the first award, host Chelsea Handler did an amazing job of gently poking fun at everything from weight loss to queer cinema, Cate Blanchett, and the disparity between the sexes when it comes to film budgets. Handler needs to handle this gig again next year. She kept the show moving along and kept the vibe light throughout the swift three-hour show.
The night was full of tremendous speeches, some incredibly moving and some that were literally laugh-out-loud hilarious. Overall, it was one of the best awards shows the Critics Choice Association has put on to date.
