Starz has set a December 5, 2025 premiere date for the Spartacus spinoff, Spartacus: House of Ashur. The new series explores Ashur’s life if he hadn’t been decapitated by Naevia in Spartacus: Vengeance.
The series will kick off with the release of two episodes, followed by new episodes on subsequent Fridays.
Nick E. Tarabay reprises his role as Ashur, Graham McTavish stars as Korris, Tenika Davis plays Achillia, and Jordi Webber stars as Tarchon. The ensemble also includes Jamaica Vaughan as Hilara, Ivana Baquero as Messia, Claudia Black as Cossutia, India Shaw-Smith as Viridia, Jackson Gallagher as Caesar, Jaime Slater as Cornelia, and Leigh Gill as Satyrus.
“Spartacus: House of Ashur is a thrilling, erotic, history-bending roller-coaster experience that builds on everything that made the original series a colossal hit. What if Ashur had lived, and the Romans rewarded his treachery with the gladiator school where he once bled? Welcome to the House of Ashur,” reads Starz’s synopsis. “No longer a slave, Ashur has clawed his way to power, owning the same ludus that once owned him. But ruling a band of merciless gladiators is child’s play compared to surviving the savage world of Roman politics—a cutthroat game in which betrayal isn’t a sin, it’s currency.
He flips tradition on its head by unleashing Achillia, a fierce and powerful gladiatrix eager to prove herself worthy in a man’s world. Together, they ignite a new kind of spectacle that shocks, disrupts and offends the elite with every drop of blood.”
Spartacus creator Steven S. DeKnight serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner. Additional executive producers include Rick Jacobson and Aaron Helbing.

“In the aftermath of a comet strike that decimated most of the earth, Greenland 2: Migration follows the Garrity family (Butler, Baccarin, and Griffin Davis) as they’re forced to leave the safety of their bunker in Greenland to traverse a shattered world in search of a new home,” reads Lionsgate’s synopsis.

Universal Pictures’ final Wicked: For Good trailer is so exquisite that it deserves/demands multiple viewings. The three-minute trailer features a showdown between Elphaba and Glinda, along with snippets of Dorothy, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man, and “No Good Deed.” But the most striking moment is Cynthia Erivo delivering the line, “Just look at me, not with your eyes, with theirs.”
The musical also stars Jonathan Bailey as Prince Fiyero, Ethan Slater as Boq, Marissa Bode as Nessarose, Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, and Jeff Goldblum as The Wizard. Bowen Yang and Bronwyn James star as Glinda’s assistants, Pfannee and ShenShen, and Sharon D. Clarke voices Elphaba’s childhood nanny, Dulcibear.

Wicked: For Good opens in theaters on November 21, 2025.
Universal offers this synopsis of the concluding chapter:
“Elphaba (Erivo), now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz’s silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard (Goldblum).
Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard.
As Glinda’s stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Bailey) in a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. She attempts to broker a conciliation between Elphaba and The Wizard, but those efforts will fail, driving Elphaba and Glinda only further apart. The aftershocks will transform Boq (Slater) and Fiyero forever and threaten the safety of Elphaba’s sister, Nessarose (Bode), when a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives.
As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.”
Netflix’s Stranger Things takes a nostalgic look back at the first four seasons while teasing the upcoming fifth and final season. The cast and creators promise an epic ending to the story, with more action and more of everything that’s made Stranger Things one of the streamer’s most popular series.
“It’s part of the magic of this show, even as we evolve, even as the storytelling becomes more epic, it’s always anchored in these characters that we love,” said Shawn Levy. Joe Keery added, “Whether they’re a popular dude or some band nerd, a parent, a teacher, a Russian scientist, everybody sort of feels like they’re kind of an outcast. And I think this show is about, like, bringing people like that together.”
The series stars Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, David Harbour as Jim Hopper, Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler, Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson, and Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair. Noah Schnapp is Will Byers, Sadie Sink plays Max Mayfield, Natalia Dyer is Nancy Wheeler, Charlie Heaton is Jonathan Byers, Joe Keery is Steve Harrington, and Maya Hawke is Robin Buckley.
Rounding out the ensemble are Priah Ferguson as Erica Sinclair, Brett Gelman as Murray, Jamie Campbell Bower as Vecna, Cara Buono as Karen Wheeler, Amybeth McNulty as Vickie, Nell Fisher as Holly Wheeler, Jake Connelly as Derek Turnbow, Alex Breaux as Lt. Akers, and Linda Hamilton as Dr. Kay.
“The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished—his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming—and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone—the full party—standing together, one last time.”
A scene from ‘All the Devils are Here’ (Photo Credit: Republic Pictures)
Music video director Barnaby Roper’s All the Devils are Here takes its title from a line from Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Hell is empty and the real evil is here on earth. In Roper’s character-driven thriller, a heist that goes off the rails thrusts four complete strangers into a claustrophobic nightmare scenario that strips bare their worst instincts.
The film starts with a heist that quickly establishes the hierarchy within the newly formed gang. The job is supposed to be a simple robbery, but Grady (Sam Claflin), a brutal and unpredictable career criminal, viciously attacks an employee and a security guard with little provocation. Ronnie (Eddie Marsan), the even-keeled leader who prefers to pull off jobs as professionally as possible, struggles to keep Grady in line. Royce (Tienne Simon), their designated getaway driver, is a newcomer in way over his head.
The fourth member didn’t actively participate in the heist. He’s the numbers guy, fittingly called Numbers (Burn Gorman), who has a nasty drug problem and a flair for the theatrical.
A mysterious Mr. Reynolds had his minion, Laing (Rory Kinnear), assemble the gang and deliver specific instructions: no violence and no deviating from the plan. And while Grady left bodies in his wake at the crime scene, Ronnie is determined to stick to the rest of the plan. Even a horrible accident on their drive to a remote cabin doesn’t deter Ronnie from abiding by Reynolds’ rules.
The setting plays a central role in creating much of the film’s tension. Following the heist, the gang find themselves holed up in a remote, rundown farmhouse that evolves into a pivotal character in their story. As the hours sluggishly tick by, the house’s bleakness mirrors the four criminals’ deteriorating mental states. All the simmering tension and frustration bubble to the surface when these disparate (and desperate) characters are forced into continued isolation by a boss they can’t even contact. What results from this untenable situation are violent, explosive clashes that are predictable yet still shocking.
First-time feature film director Roper assembled an impressive cast, with Eddie Marsan at the top of his game as the ex-con who only wants to pull off one final job before putting an end to his life of crime. Sam Claflin digs his teeth into a role unlike any he’s played before, bringing a raw intensity to a character who relishes cruelty and thrives on violence. Burn Gorman’s Numbers is detached from the threesome, yet integral to the overall dynamic. Gorman’s catlike take on Numbers is captivating, and his passive presence adds to the sense of unease. And Tienne Simon does a terrific job of conveying the naïveté of fledgling criminal Royce, who masks his insecurities under a layer of false bravado.
With a chilling atmosphere, fantastic performances, and a story that constantly keeps you guessing, All the Devils are Here is a solid choice for fans of psychological thrillers. And as the title suggests, you may find that the true demons are closer than you think. The film’s final act delivers a knockout punch that, even if you saw it coming, still leaves you reeling.

Judy Reyes, Kaitlin Olson, and Daniel Sunjata in ‘High Potential’ season 2 episode 2 (Disney/Jessica Perez)
Detective Adam Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) is in hot pursuit of Derek as ABC’s High Potential season two episode two opens. The action takes place just minutes after the season premiere episode ended, with Lt Selena Soto (Judy Reyes) and Morgan (Kaitlin Olson) at the station with the Game Maker.
(The following is a recap of episode two and there are spoilers. You’ve been warned!)
Adam calls in with bad news that he lost Derek, and Morgan suggests he get back to the station ASAP. The Game Maker (David Giuntoli) showed up and is currently seated just 20 feet or so away, looking perfectly calm.
The Game Maker’s name is Matthew Clark and he works odd jobs for cash. He claims he saw his face on the news and wants to know why. Morgan stares at Matthew seated in the interrogation room while Selena confirms he doesn’t have a criminal record. Adam won’t let Morgan interrogate him, since that’s obviously what Matthew wants.
Adam places photos of the Game Maker’s victims in front of Matthew and he insists he doesn’t recognize them. Morgan’s frustrated that Adam doesn’t seem to be getting anywhere, but Adam’s taking his time on purpose. If he pushes too hard, Matthew could just leave.
Morgan can’t just stand by and starts interrupting the interrogation with a series of texts. Matthew taunts Adam, teasing him about the texts and “side pieces.” Adam steps out to talk to Morgan, and Morgan reminds them Matthew said “she” when he mentioned a coworker and specifically asked for Pillsbury cookies. Morgan explains that it’s a variation in chess designed to secure your defense. Their next move should be to release Jason Howard.
Selena and Adam speak with Jason (Nick Wechsler) and his attorney, informing him he’s no longer a suspect in Maya’s disappearance. However, Maya’s exe Derek doesn’t know that and is out to kill him. Jason doesn’t recognize Matthew’s photo and doesn’t understand why this stranger would set this whole thing up with the goal of Derek killing him. They offer Jason police protection and he accepts.
Jason asks about Maya and Selena confirms they believe she’s alive and being used as a pawn in the plan for Derek to kill him.
Matthew speaks to himself, saying he now understands why people confess to things they didn’t do. He looks through the two-way glass and seems to speak directly to Morgan, warning her not to blink.

A bomb threat on a bus, presumably called in by Matthew, pulls Morgan and Adam out of the station and into the field. Someone heard ticking on the bus, and Morgan and Adam examine a clock counting down two hours. There’s a thumb drive that shows a video of Maya (Kate Miner) singing “Bizarre Love Triangle,” and Matthew had teased Adam about being in a love triangle during the interrogation.
There’s no way to tell when the video was made so it doesn’t prove Maya’s still alive. The bomb squad found ammonium nitrate, a chemical used in bombmaking. The items were in a bag from Helen of Monago; Morgan doesn’t recognize the brand. There’s a loose thread and Morgan is sure it means something. She pulls it and Helen of Monago transforms into Hello Morgan.
Adam and Morgan realize that Matthew now has a solid alibi if the bus started its route after he showed up at the station.
Over in Nevada, no one answered Roman’s motel room door, but Daphne (Javicia Leslie) and Oz (Deniz Akdeniz) were able to confirm he checked in last week. They’re still parked outside the room when the door opens. They don’t recognize the man (Mekhi Phifer) who looks around outside.
They introduce themselves but the man doesn’t provide his name. He walks off, claiming he’s busy.
Morgan and Adam return to the station and Daphne calls saying they found Roman, but he wouldn’t talk. They send a photo and obviously it’s not Roman. Morgan’s never seen this man before. (Why didn’t they already have a photo of Roman?) Oz and Daphne confirm they’ll try to find out why he’s using Roman’s name.
While Adam was out, Selena took over Matthew’s interrogation. He proclaims his innocence and even says they can search his apartment and bank account. Morgan’s certain there’s something in his apartment he wants them to find.
Their search doesn’t undercover anything until Morgan spots a book about Stanislav Petrov (the man who saved the world) that’s upside down. Adam thinks they’ll have to let Matthew go because they don’t have any reason to hold him. Morgan’s certain Matthew’s escalated things and that he’s declared war. Adam says the word “blinks” and Morgan suddenly asks to see Maya’s video again.
Maya blinks out the numbers 2 4 9 2, and Morgan realizes it’s Jason’s address. However, they’ve already swept Jason’s house. Morgan thinks Matthew made Maya blink the numbers, and Adam believes Matthew left something the night of the party after they’d done the sweep.
Matthew’s in the hallway when Adam and Morgan leave his apartment. He calmly says, “I hope you found what you’re looking for.” He smiles as the elevator doors close.
There’s less than a minute left when Adam and Morgan arrive at Jason’s house. Jason’s confused when they can’t say what they’re looking for. Time runs out and a bomb goes off in Adam’s car. Thankfully, no one was injured.
Jason’s brought to the station for his own safety but refuses to stay since they can’t seem to even protect themselves. He’s hired a private security firm instead. Morgan thinks Matthew planted the bomb during the party at Jason’s house. And Matthew did it so that Jason wouldn’t trust the cops to protect him. Plus, Derek’s still missing.
And speak of the devil, Derek (Shaun Sipos) follows Jason’s security team when they leave the station.
Over in Nevada, Oz and Daphne tell the stranger they know he isn’t Roman. They mention they were sent by Morgan, and he briefly pauses, but then says he doesn’t know “him.”

Selena sends Morgan home to check on her family. Ludo (Taran Killiam) is with Elliot (Matthew Lamb) in his room practicing for tomorrow night’s talent show. Morgan’s desperate to know what he’s performing but Ava (Amirah J) doesn’t know. Only Ludo is in on the secret.
Morgan has a heart-to-heart with Elliot, and he confirms he might do something super nerdy. He’s okay with that because sometimes you need to lose the battle to win the war. Morgan has an epiphany; maybe she’s supposed to lose to the Game Maker to win.
Morgan shows up alone at Matthew’s apartment and Matthew believes she likes this game as much as he does. Morgan says he’s wrong. She’s quitting the game because he’s smarter and she’s done putting her kids in danger. Morgan tells him he wins and asks where Maya is. Matthew claims not to know, but he hopes they find her.
As she’s leaving, he suggests that she take the stairs.
Selena sends Adam off to track down Derek after Derek’s credit card was used at a hotel. Derek sees Jason and his security check in and then waits in a room. Jason and his team walk down the hall and Derek prepares to follow them.
Adam calls Morgan with an update on Derek, and Morgan confesses she’s in Matthew’s apartment building and hears “Bizarre Love Triangle” playing. She follows it and pounds on a door, screaming for Maya. Morgan tries to break down the door as neighbors watch.
Derek spots Jason sitting outside and somehow makes it past his security, placing a gun to the back of Jason’s head. Adam screams at him not to shoot as the security team also draw their weapons. Adam orders the others to put down their guns, but Derek keeps his against the back of Jason’s head.
Morgan makes it into the apartment and while on a speaker phone with Adam, she tells Maya to convince Derek she’s alive. Maya does her best to describe elements of their marriage no one would know. Fortunately, it works. Derek puts the gun down and Adam places him under arrest.

Later, Selena reveals the DA doesn’t think they’ve got enough evidence to prosecute Matthew. Maya didn’t see her abductor and there’s no concrete evidence tying the apartment to Matthew. Morgan’s convinced they won’t take Matthew alive. He had a picture of a monkey that mutilates itself rather than being placed in captivity.
Oz and Daphne return from their unsuccessful Nevada trip just as Adam receives Maya’s medical records. She didn’t have any bruising or any drugs in her system. So, where did Maya’s blood come from that they found in her car’s trunk?
Morgan returns to Matthew’s apartment and reveals that Maya didn’t have any cuts on her, yet her blood was in her trunk. She remembered that they found items in his place indicating he volunteers at a hospital – the same hospital where Maya donated blood. Footage from the hospital shows him stealing Maya’s blood.
Morgan wanted to beat the officers there to let him know he’ll end up in a cage. Matthew says, “Well played,” and disagrees when Morgan says he hurt people. He believes the rich are all the same. Those who aren’t rich are just pawns to the wealthy and considered disposable, like his mom who went to jail accused of stealing. Matthew insists she didn’t do it and was set up as part of an insurance scam. His mom’s life was destroyed, and the police helped make it happen.
Morgan believes him but doesn’t care. Matthew steps over his balcony’s railing as a montage of his crimes plays. He says he won’t die in prison like his mother did. Matthew lets go of the railing and falls backwards from his upper floor apartment. He didn’t bother to look before he jumped and is shocked to discover he fell straight onto an airbag.
Oz is given the honor of listing his crimes while placing him under arrest.
Ava slinks down in her seat in the auditorium as Elliot takes the stage at the talent show. He’s greeted by a shout of “nerd,” but then actually silences his peers with a rap song acknowledging all the labels he’s been called. He finishes with a mic drop and his family stands and applauds. Most of the audience remains silent.
Morgan pulls Elliot in for a hug after the show but gets distracted when the man from Nevada shows up. He introduces himself as Arthur and says Roman told him last week that she’s the only person he can trust. But he also said they can’t trust the cops, so why is she hanging out with LAPD? Morgan asks about the backpack he had in the photo Oz sent from Nevada. She’s certain it was Roman’s, but he doesn’t confirm what was in it. He says he’s only there at Roman’s request to make sure she and Ava are okay.
Arthur hands Morgan a card for Arthur Ellis Landscaping and leaves. Ava wonders who the guy was and Morgan replies, “I don’t know yet.”
