Marvel's Wolverine: Release date, gameplay details and trailer
When will the Wolverine PS5 game come out, and what else do we know about Insomniac's new Marvel game?
The long-awaited Marvel's Wolverine for PS5 release date has been revealed! Finally after years of waiting for news, we finally know when we can sink our claws into this violent new game from Insomniac Games. This exciting development follows on from us learning about the game's gameplay and story details in its reveal trailer, as well as finding out the identity of Wolverine's voice actor. Keep reading to find out everything there is to know about the Wolverine release date on PS5, where to pre-order, and gameplay and story details. Scroll to the end of the page to watch the trailer! Wolverine PS5 game release date speculation The Marvel's Wolverine release date is scheduled as 15 September 2026, PlayStation has confirmed. PlayStation took to social media to confirm the exciting news about the Wolverine PS5 release date: View oEmbed on the source website Fingers (and claws) crossed that Wolverine sticks its 15 September 2026 release date and doesn't suffer from a delay. What happened with the Wolverine leaks? Insomniac Games suffered a data breach in December 2023, with ransomware group Rhysida demanding around £2 million in bitcoin. When the studio decided to not comply, the hackers released details of the studio's future plans by uploading them to the web. As first reported by CyberDaily, this included several games in the works, budgets and sensitive data relating to Insomniac's employees. Insomniac subsequently released the following statement: View oEmbed on the source website "Thank you for the outpouring of compassion and unwavering support. It’s deeply appreciated. We’re both saddened and angered about the recent criminal cyberattack on our studio and the emotional toll it’s taken on our dev team. We have focused inwardly for the last several days to support each other. "We are aware that the stolen data includes personal information belonging to our employees, former employees and independent contractors. It also includes early details about Marvel’s Wolverine for PS5. We continue working quickly to determine what data was impacted. This experience has been extremely distressing for us. "We want everyone to enjoy the games we develop as intended. However, like Logan... Insomniac is resilient. Marvel’s Wolverine continues as planned. The game is in early production and will no doubt greatly evolve throughout development, as do all our plans. "While we appreciate everyone’s enthusiasm, we will share official information about Marvel’s Wolverine when the time is right. On behalf of everyone here, thank you for your ongoing support during this challenging time." Which consoles and platforms can play Marvel's Wolverine? Marvel's Wolverine will launch exclusively on PlayStation 5. This is due to the game being developed by Insomniac Games, which is owned by Sony. As a result, we wouldn't expect it to ever be ported to Xbox Series X/S or Nintendo Switch. Perhaps a PC release will happen at some point (much like the Marvel's Spider-Man and God of War PC releases), but that hasn't been confirmed, so don't hold your breath. Will Marvel's Wolverine come to PS4? No, Marvel's Wolverine is not expected to come to PS4 at any point. This is a next-gen project specifically built for the PS5, so the console will be the only place to play Marvel's Wolverine at launch and for the foreseeable future. View Green Video on the source website Can I pre-order Marvel's Wolverine? No, pre-orders for Marvel's Wolverine are not yet live. As soon as retailers start to publish product pages, we'll be sure to update this article with all the details. The price hasn't been set in stone yet, either, so that'll be interesting to learn. This will all become clearer when we get closer to launch. Marvel's Wolverine gameplay and story details When it comes to gameplay and story details, we're still lacking plenty of information, but we do now have some idea of what to expect courtesy of PlayStation – here's what they had to say in a blog post: "We aim to deliver the ultimate Wolverine fantasy built on Insomniac staples like fast, fluid and ferocious combat; exhilarating, action-packed set pieces; robust accessibility features; and a gripping story that taps into the core tenets of one of the most compelling comic book characters of all-time. "We're breaking new ground with Wolverine, yes, but our penchant for telling stories about heroes overcoming colossal odds is as strong as ever. We're eager to explore Logan's story with you and tap into his signature spin on heroism which is much darker and more brutal than you might expect from Insomniac." We wouldn't expect Marvel's Wolverine to have any formal links to the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies or the pre-existing X-Men films from the Fox days, either. Marvel Games seems to be doing its own thing, so the best you can hope for is probably a collection of skins/outfits/costumes that pay tribute to Wolvie's big-screen outings. If you were hoping for Hugh Jackman to reprise his role, then you're out of luck. Instead, fellow Australian actor Liam McIntyre will take on the job. Players might recognise him from Gears 5 and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Although the post doesn't exactly go into detail about the Wolverine PS5 gameplay, the official PlayStation Blog describes the project like so: "Marvel’s Wolverine is a standalone game being directed by Brian Horton (creative director) and Cameron Christian (game director), who recently led the creative efforts on Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, a game we’re extremely proud of at Insomniac. "In the vein of our Spider-Man games, our goal here is to not only respect the DNA of what makes the character so popular, but also look for opportunities to make it feel fresh and truly reflect the Insomniac spirit. "Even though Marvel’s Wolverine is very early in development, from what I’ve seen of its emotional narrative and cutting-edge gameplay (see what I did there?), the team is already creating something truly special." Jeff Grubb also sheds some light here. According to his sources, the game will take a lot of inspiration from God of War with a semi-open-world design. Wolverine is also reported to receive a mature rating, and will be quite violent – in a similar vein to the film Logan. Whether it's Spider-Man, Sunset Overdrive or Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Insomniac titles almost always have highly energetic and imaginative combat, so we're looking forward to seeing what the team over there comes up with for the Wolverine PS5 game. Marvel's Wolverine trailer A brand new gameplay trailer dropped in September 2025, giving fans a glimpse of what to expect from the gory game. View oEmbed on the source website The gameplay trailer comes four years after Sony unveiled the first trailer for Marvel's Wolverine for PS5 in September 2021. It shows Logan in a seedy bar of some sort before unleashing his Adamantium claws. The trailer is accompanied by the song The Dark End of the Street by James Carr.

Haunted Chocolatier: Release date rumours for Stardew Valley creator's new game
When is the Haunted Chocolatier release date, and what else do we know about the new game from ConcernedApe?
Since its release 10 years ago, Stardew Valley has become one of the biggest and most successful indie games of all time. Now, its creator Eric Barone, AKA ConcernedApe, is hard at work on a new game: Haunted Chocolatier. It was first announced back in 2021, but between continuing to work on Stardew Valley and making Haunted Chocolatier perfect, news on its progress has been few and far between. Originally known as 'Sprout Valley', the game was born out of Barone's desire to fix issues he had with classed farming sim series Harvest Moon. So, if you're wondering what news there is on the Haunted Chocolatier release date, here's everything you need to know about Eric Barone's next title. What is Haunted Chocolatier? Haunted Chocolatier is an RPG/simulation game that sees you play as a chocolatier, gathering ingredients whilst residing in a haunted castle, to produce chocolate for sale to the townspeople. Fans can expect more information in the run-up to release with Barone stating: “Of course, there’s a lot more to the game than that, but I don’t want to get too deep into at this early stage, partly because I don’t want to be tied down to any particular concept of what the game is.” “I haven’t really gotten to the sauce yet. That’s coming,” Barone admitted, when referring to the aspect of the game that would complement the “meat and potatoes” of the chocolatey facet already outlined. Barone’s ad-hoc nature has been instrumental to his success (as has his music recordings) and he is fortunate enough to be his own taskmaster. “If Stardew Valley mostly channelled the energy of the sun, Haunted Chocolatier channels the energy of the moon. Both are vital,” he added. Haunted Chocolatier release date speculation While we initially hoped to be playing the game as early as 2022, with the game having first been announced in 2021, that has obviously not come to pass. Since announcing the game, Barone has repeatedly returned to Stardew Valley to finish up big content updates such as the 1.6 to 1.6.15 updates released throughout 2024. Furthermore, Barone is more concerned with taking his time and releasing a good game, than rushing something out early, telling Aftermath that same year that "it's better to have a delayed game that's actually good than a bad game that's on time. When it's ready, that's when I'll release it". More recently, a January 2026 blogpost from Barone confirmed that he has "been very productive lately on Haunted Chocolatier". While he also confirmed that he is still working on Stardew Valley updates alongside Haunted Chocolatier, he doubled down on a statement he gave in 2025 that he hoped the game would release in the next five years. So, there you have it. The Haunted Chocolatier release window is anytime from 2026 until 2030 – although we certainly hope that we won't have to wait that long. Either way, one thing that is for certain is that when it finally does arrive, it's going to be to a standard that Barone is happy with, and that can only be a good thing – Silksong was worth the wait, wasn't it? Which consoles and platforms can play Haunted Chocolatier? There is a 100 per cent guarantee that Haunted Chocolatier will be coming to PC, and we wouldn't be surprised to see a console release on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch further down the line. However, only a PC version has been confirmed at this stage. Barone's previous project, Stardew Valley, could be a good indication of where things can go: it is available on Steam, Mac OS, iOS, Linux, Xbox One, PS4, PS Vita, Android phones/tablets and even the Arcade feature on Tesla cars. Can I pre-order Haunted Chocolatier? You cannot pre-order Haunted Chocolatier yet, but we'll be sure to update this page when you can. This means that there is no pre-order link currently, but we'll update this page as soon as we know more. Haunted Chocolatier music View oEmbed on the source website Barone has long been known for his beautiful musical scores, which add a whole other layer of greatness to his games. The music on Stardew Valley was consistently wonderful, and here's hoping that the Haunted Chocolatier music will have a similar impact on our ears. Early signs are certainly promising – there were two songs, both just over a minute in length, featured in the first Haunted Chocolatier trailer. Barone has already reposted the songs on their own on his YouTube channel, too. The songs don't have names yet, but you can listen to them both here – there is one above and one below, so take your pick and prepare yourself for a sweet audio treat. View oEmbed on the source website Haunted Chocolatier gameplay "I just want to make a fun game," Barone wrote on the game's official website, but he didn't go into a huge amount of detail beyond that in terms of the Haunted Chocolatier gameplay experience. He did say this, though: "Now, you might be scratching your head, wondering exactly what type of game this is. I’m not sure how best to describe it. It’s evolving organically as I develop it, so I’m not sure where it will go. "But at its core, the gameplay loop involves gathering ingredients, making chocolate, and running a chocolate shop. Of course, there’s a lot more to the game than that, but I don’t want to get too deep into at this early stage, partly because I don’t want to be tied down to any particular concept of what the game is." All programming was coded using the C#/Monogame framework. And if you want to take a closer look at how the game is shaping up, along with a couple of great original songs, check out the video at the bottom of this page. Does Haunted Chocolatier have multiplayer? Barone has stated that he’s only developing a single-player mode and has no plans for multiplayer so far, so it might be safe to assume that Haunted Chocolatier will not have a multiplayer mode at launch. We think that if Haunted Chocolatier emulates the success of its creator’s premier effort, then perhaps a co-op mode could be added later, with players sharing the responsibility of the inner workings of the chocolate castle. Haunted Chocolatier trailer The first Haunted Chocolatier trailer is here, touting itself as an 'early gameplay' showcase. Those who’d like to bathe in the nostalgia of the kind of sprite-bountiful pixel art graphics reminiscent of the 90s and early noughties GameBoy SP are very likely to enjoy this. Scored with glimmering soft synthesis, the trailer below should go some way to tiding you over, while we wait for the Haunted Chocolatier release date to appear.

Sing 2: Release date, cast and trailer for animated sequel
Following the hit 2016 original Sing movie, it’s hardly surprising that a Sing 2 from the creators of Despicable Me, Minions and The Secret Life of Pets will soon be landing in UK cinemas. The animated movie picks up where the first movie left off, with Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey) planning to debut a new show in Redshore City. This time, Buster's troupe lands the gig by promising to enlist a superstar, Clay Calloway, who is voiced by U2 singer Bono. Jennings has revealed that, after a lengthy phone discussion about his character, Bono was so inspired by his character that he wrote a new song Your Song Saved My Life, which not only impacted the ending of Sing 2, but has also been shortlisted in the Best Original Song category at this year’s Oscars. "And I swear to God, we turned out for the first record session a few months later, and I remember he was quite nervous but he was brilliant," Jennings recently explained to Deadline. "And he played the part so well, and I was so happy. I said, 'Oh, you did it, nailed it. We’ve got all those things up.' "'Perfect,' he goes, 'by the way...' And he pulled his phone out of his pocket and goes, 'I wrote that song.' And I was like, 'What?' He goes, 'Yeah, here it is.' And he started playing it straight off his phone, and I had a moment of horror, which was like, if I don’t like this song, how am I gonna tell Bono? It’s like, that could be the worst moment ever after we just had this great session." He continued: "I was overcome quite honestly. I was very emotional listening to it with him because not only was this song beautiful... I really love this song, even if it wasn’t in our movie. It’s a beautiful song and it absolutely was the entire ending of the movie being handed to me on a plate. It was so perfect, that for me is one of the highlights of my entire career, because it was just, sort of, beautiful in every sense and I was on cloud nine." The film’s score is once again provided by Joby Talbot, whose musical composition work has included movies, TV, pop, dance and opera. The soundtrack is rounded out by some modern music, including tracks by Billie Eilish, Sir Elton John and Shawn Mendes. Meanwhile, the animated film has been written and directed by Garth Jennings, who is best known for his quirky music videos such as Blur’s Coffee and TV and Fatboy Slim’s Right Here, Right Now. If you’re looking for some animated enchantment in 2022, read on for all you need to know about Sing 2. Sing 2 release date UK Those of us in the UK can watch the film from 28th January 2022. Those in North America got to enjoy Sing 2 earlier on 22nd December 2021. Sing 2 cast This is one clearly star-studded line-up! We’ve listed them in official poster order, so we'll leave it up to you to decide whether they’ve been placed in the correct order of prominence. Buster Moon played by Matthew McConaughey Rosita played by Reese Witherspoon Ash played by Scarlett Johansson Johnny played by Taron Egerton Meena played by Tori Kelly Gunter played by Nick Kroll Jimmy Crystal played by Bobby Cannavale Porsha played by Halsey Alfonso played by Pharrell Williams Nooshy played by Letitia Wright Darius played by Eric Andre Suki played by Chelsea Peretti Clay Calloway played by Bono Sing 2 digital release date – is it coming to Disney Plus? No, both Sing movies were produced by Illumination, which is a direct competitor to Disney, and distributed by Universal Pictures. Since Sing 2 isn’t a Disney movie, it seems unlikely that it will arrive on Disney Plus any time soon in the US. Internationally, some titles that haven’t been produced by Disney have been known to arrive on the streaming service, including both Paddington movies. However, Disney is yet to strike any deals with Illumination/Universal Pictures for any of the Sing movies in the UK either. But never fear, for after the movie’s theatrical run, fans will be able to stream Sing 2 on digital platforms such as iTunes, YouTube and Google Play from the comfort of their own homes. A digital release date is yet to be confirmed and viewers will have to stay tuned for more information on this front. Universal movies have previously been released on digital platforms around 17 days after their theatrical run, but in some cases – as with the recent Universal movie Dear Evan Hansen and No Time to Die – the digital release date has been about one month after landing in cinemas. Sing 2 trailer The first Sing 2 trailer arrived in June 2021 and showed off some of the songs we can look forward to, as well as teasing the main storyline. View oEmbed on the source website Sing 2 also has a second trailer, staying on-brand and being equally charming. View oEmbed on the source website Sing 2 plot Buster Moon is ever the positive koala bear. He hopes to create a spectacular new stage show at the swanky Crystal Tower Theater, along with his supporting cast. But when it looks like this dream is over, there's some fresh hope after Buster name-drops big-time past-era rock star, Clay Calloway. Mr Crystal, the mogul wolf who pulls the strings at the venue, holds him to it. But Calloway the lion now lives the life of a hermit at his sprawling manor. Will he be able to overcome his past demons to perform for the show? When is Sing 2 coming out on DVD and Blu-ray? The DVD and Blu-ray release date for Sing 2 is yet to be announced, meaning fans aren’t able to get their hands on one yet. Universal Pictures movie F9 took just over two weeks to come out on DVD, while The Boss Baby: Family Business took about three months, so it's difficult to predict a DVD release date for Sing 2, but we'll keep this page updated with the latest information. Sing 2 arrives in cinemas on 28th January 2022. If you need something to watch tonight, have a look at our TV Guide or check out our Movies hub for all the latest news.
Meet the cast of The Witcher season 2 on Netflix
Henry Cavill's Geralt of Rivia is joined by a huge cast of characters in this year's season.
By: Eammon Jacobs It’s time to travel back to the treacherous world of the Continent in The Witcher season two, as Geralt of Rivia vows to keep Ciri safe from nefarious forces that want to use her for their own sinister ends. It’s been two long years since The Witcher season one arrived on Netflix, and the adventure is only going to get bigger this time around. The series picks up shortly after the devastating Battle of Sodden Hill where the Northern Kingdoms rallied together to defeat the armies of Nilfgaard. But with a fresh season comes fresh threats, and Geralt has to find new ways of protecting Ciri - including teaching her to fend for herself at Kaer Morhen, the Witcher stronghold. That’s right, Netflix is doubling down on its monster slayers for season two, and the series will also explore Geralt’s history through Kaer Morhen and his fellow fighters. But who are all the new characters across the Continent? Read on for everything you need to know, including who they’re playing and where you might have seen them before. Henry Cavill plays Geralt of Rivia Who is Geralt of Rivia? Geralt of Rivia is a seasoned monster-slayer-for-hire who trained at Kaer Morhen under Vesemir from a young age and was mutated with a special serum to become a full Witcher. He’s not exactly a friendly type and tends to keep up a steely, gruff exterior while traveling with his trusty steed: Roach. He’s a vicious fighter, and has fought plenty of beasts in his time, like the Kikimora, the Striga, and a Dragon. He’s also gone up against other terrifying threats, but he’s best known for his monster-slaying. The reluctant hero is tied to Princess Cirilla thanks to invoking the Law of Surprise when he saved her father Duny during one of the season one flashbacks. In season two, he’s taking her to Kaer Morhen where she’ll be safe from Nilfgaard and anyone else who wants to use her royal status for their own ends. It’ll be interesting to see how this new dynamic will change the grumpy swordsman in The Witcher season two. Read more: The Witcher 4 release date rumours What else has Henry Cavill been in? Audiences will probably recgonise Henry Cavill for his role in the DC Extended Universe as Clark Kent, AKA Superman. He first stepped into the cape and tights for 2013’s Man of Steel, before going head-to-head with Ben Affleck’s Caped Crusader in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The Kryptonian returned from the dead in Justice League, while he also went on a slightly different journey in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, which is the director’s original vision for the team-up movie. But Cavill is also known for his other action roles, like the suave superspy Napoleon Solo in Guy Ritchie’s The Man from UNCLE - before grappling with Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt as August Walker in Mission: Impossible - Fallout. He also plays the heroic fighter Theseus in Tarsem Singh’s fantasy epic Immortals. Freya Allan plays Princess Cirilla, AKA Ciri Who is Ciri? Princess Cirilla, or Ciri as she’s mostly called, is Queen Calanthe’s granddaughter and is the only princess of Cintra. So when Cintra’s war against Nilfgaard escalates, she’s wanted by everyone because of her royal status. Ciri is an incredibly determined, headstrong girl - but she’s also extremely terrified by the mystical abilities that she can’t control properly. She spends most of season one running for her life across the Continent, and she never really settles because of her desperate situation. Thankfully, her abilities pushed her towards Geralt by the end of season one, and the next chapter will find them journeying to Kaer Morhen, where Ciri will be much safer from Nilfgaard, the Northern Kingdoms and beyond. What else has Freya Allan been in? Freya Allan’s career took off when she joined The Witcher, but she had a few small roles in various short films before playing the younger version of Emily Beecham’s Minerva in Into the Badlands. She also briefly shows up as Mary in the BBC War of the Worlds miniseries. She also has a supporting role as Kali in folk thriller The Third Day. In terms of TV, she’s still best known for playing Ciri in The Witcher, since she’s one of the main characters in the series and it gives her plenty of time to shine. But Freya Allan is already eyeing up roles on the big screen, and she recently appeared in Gunpowder Milkshake as the young version of Sam, Karen Gillan’s fiery assassin. Anya Chalotra plays Yennefer of Vengerberg Who is Yennefer of Vengerberg? Yennefer of Vengerberg is from (you guessed it) Vengerberg, and started out life as a downtrodden girl with a curved spine and partial facial paralysis. However, when she accidentally portals herself to Aretuza (the Mage academy) she starts out on a new journey where she learns to hone her magical abilities under Tissaia’s teachings. Eventually, she uses magic to heal her medical issues thanks to a painful procedure which uses her own reproductive organs to make her “beautiful”. Yennefer crosses paths with Geralt a few times, and the two fall for each other. From there, Yennefer becomes one of the most powerful Mages in the Continent, even conjuring up vast waves of fire to defeat the Nilfgaardian army during the Battle of Sodden Hill. She disappears after the battle, and it’ll be interesting to see how her friends deal with the loss. What else has Anya Chalotra been in? Much like Freya Allan, Anya Chalotra is best known for playing Yennefer in The Witcher - although she starred in the BBC series Wanderlust back in 2018 as Jennifer Ashman. She’s one of the older pupils at the school the Richards family send their son Tom (Joe Hurst) to during the series. She also stars in The ABC Murders miniseries as Lily Marbury, and manages to hold her own against the likes of John Malkovich’s Hercule Poirot and Rupert Grint’s Inspector Crome. However she really proves her acting prowess as Yennefer, and she’s definitely got a bright career ahead of her. Joey Batey plays Jaskier Who is Jaskier? Jaskier (or the Dandelion as he’s sometimes known) is the lovable bard who meets Geralt in a tavern after getting booed by the audience. Jaskier winds up traveling with Geralt during some of his quests to kill various monsters in the world so that he can improve the Witcher’s public image with his songs. You can hear the song now, can’t you? Toss a coin to your Witcher… What else has Joey Batey been in? While Jaskier is Joey Batey’s most well known performance, he’s starred in plenty of other British TV shows over the years. He briefly shows up in ITV’s Whitechapel as Gavin Redman, before later starring in Sky’s comedy series Mount Pleasant and the BBC’s In the Dark. He later had a recurring role in the History Channel’s Knightfall as Pierre, a Papal spy in the Knight’s Templar. Joey Batey also has minor roles in Stan Lee’s Lucky Man, appearing in season three episode two - and he then played Henderson in the first episode of the BBC’s War of the Worlds miniseries, although he didn’t have any catchy songs to sing in those shows. MyAnna Buring plays Tissaia de Vries Who is Tissaia de Vries? Tissaia de Vries is one of the Mages at the Aretuza academy, and chooses young girls to become students at the school. She’s the one who teaches Yennefer how to use her abilities, and she also fights in the Battle of Sodden Hill against Nilfgaard. What else has MyAnna Buring been in? MyAnna Buring is known for starring in a number of horror movies like The Descent and The Descent Part 2, Doomsday and Ben Wheatley’s Kill List. But Buring has also had roles in a number of iconic British shows like Doctor Who and Downton Abbey, while she also appears in crime dramas like Blackout, Ripper Street and In the Dark. Eamon Farren plays Cahir Who is Cahir? Cahir is the leader of the Nilfgaardian army who personally leads the attack on the city of Cintra, and kills King Eist. Cahir is extremely loyal to Nilfgaard and is determined to capture Ciri as well as overthrowing the Continent, but this doesn’t exactly go well when his army is decimated by Yennefer at the end of season one. What else has Eamon Farren been in? Eamon Farren has racked up an eclectic filmography over the years and appears in 2017’s Mohawk, the 2018 horror Winchester and Netflix’s The Dig. He’s also had roles in a number of high profile shows like The Pacific, David Lynch’s Twin Peaks revival and The ABC Murders before joining The Witcher. Mimî M Khayisa plays Fringilla Vigo Who is Fringilla? Fringilla Vigo is a loyal Nilfgaardian sorceress who originally studied at Aretuza alongside Yennefer. What else has Mimî M. Khayisa been in? Mimî M. Khayisa has had roles in both Cinderella and The Legend of Tarzan, and briefly shows up in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker as a Resistance Officer. While she also stars in Mr. Selfridge, Doctor Who, Rellik and Black Earth Rising. Anna Shaffer plays Triss Merigold Who is Triss Merigold? Triss Merigold is a sorceress who first met Geralt when she asked for his help in saving the Princess of Temeria. What else has Anna Shaffer been in? Anna Shaffer is best known for playing Romilda Vane in the Harry Potter series, but she also played Ruby Button in Hollyoaks as well as appearing in Glue, Class, and Fearless. Mahesh Jadu plays Vilgefortz Who is Vilgefortz? Vilgefortz is one of the sorcerers from the Brotherhood of Sorcerers, and uses his powers to fight the Nilfgaardian army at the Battle of Sodden Hill. What else has Mahesh Jadu been in?

What else has Royce Pierreson been in? Royce Pierreson appears in Our Girl as Dr Jamie Cole, but he’s also known for starring in Line of Duty as DC Jamie Desford. He later starred in Wanderlust, Judy and The Irregulars. Kim Bodnia plays Vesemir Who is Vesemir? Vesemir is Geralt’s father figure at Kaer Morhen, and he’s been a Witcher since he was a young boy. What else has Kim Bodnia been in? Kim Bodnia has played a number of roles in a sprawling list of Danish shows, including the critically acclaimed crime drama The Bridge. He’s best known around the world for playing Konstantin in Killing Eve. Tom Canton plays Filavandrel Who is Filavandrel?

Tom Canton has previously had roles in The Good Karma Hospital, Dark Heart, and Endeavor. He also played the High Inquisitor in Amazon’s Truth Seekers, and he also voices Filavandrel in The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf animated movie.

What else has Mecia Simson been in? Mecia Simson doesn’t have a sprawling filmography like some of her co-stars, but she definitely proves her worth in The Witcher season two. She’s previously starred in The Hunt miniseries and the Brave New World series. Wilson Mbomio plays Dara Who is Dara? Dara is a teenage elf on the run from the Nilfgaardian soldiers in season one, and he struggles with the fact that Ciri’s grandmother is the one who ordered the death of his family. What else has Wilson Mbomio been in? Wilson Mbomio made his debut as one of the orphans in 2015’s Pan, before later starring in the Dickensian series as Dodger and then Jake Hunter in Hunter Street.

Upload season 2 release date rumours: Cast, trailer and latest news
Upload debuted on Amazon Prime Video back on 1st May 2020, with fans calling it a perfect mixture of The Good Place and Black Mirror. This show’s premise follows the reality of a digital afterlife. Set around a decade into the future, humanity has developed immortality without the use of cryogenic freezing. Nathan, a computer programmer, has met an untimely demise so his girlfriend makes the call to preserve his consciousness in the landmark software. The Office US and Parks & Recreation creator Greg Daniels made his Amazon Original showrunning debut with the comedy drama, shortly before he also released Space Force a few weeks later on Netflix. Interestingly, Daniels has previously said that he hadn't seen The Good Place or Black Mirror before making Upload, which was based on an idea he'd had for years but has only now been able to realise. Now, viewers are keen to know when we'll be returning to the sci-fi, so read on for everything you need to know about Upload season two. Will there be a season 2 of Upload? There will be a season 2 of Upload! The show was renewed by Amazon Studios shortly after it launched in May 2020. Robbie Amell, who plays protagonist Nathan, also uploaded (ahem) a shot of the cast on Twitter as shooting on the second season got under way in January 2021. View oEmbed on the source website Season two wrapped in April 2021. Upload season 2 release date We are yet to have a confirmed release date for Upload season two, although if the first season timetable matches up, we'd expect the second season to drop a month or two after the first trailer. Upload season 2 cast With the concept not allowing characters to get 'killed off' (that is, if people in the mortal world choose not to 'upload'), we expect the same cast for season two. Here are the characters who featured in all 10 episodes of the first run and are likely to be back. Nathan played by Robbie Amell Nora played by Andy Allo Ingrid played by Allegra Edwards Aleesha played by Zainab Johnson Lucy played by Andrea Rosen Luke played by Kevin Bigley AI Guy played by Owen Daniels (Greg Daniels’ son!) Meanwhile, new additions revealed by the production so far include Matteo, played by Paulo Costanzo, and Tinsley, played by Mackenzie Cardwell. Upload season 2 trailer Don't fall for any fake trailers on YouTube – an official trailer for season 2 is yet to be released! Upload season 2 spoilers With the lack of a trailer and official information from Amazon Studios, we can only speculate on what is to happen next. Ingrid - Nathan’s girlfriend who strong-armed the plan for his upload - was revealed to be Lakeview’s newest resident at the end of the previous season. For her upload to take form, we can deduce that she’s died in some way, so expect season two to reveal how this came to be. Nathan and Nora will also have to decide whether they should grow closer too, with Ingrid now added to mix. And will Nathan squander another update, if he even gets one? He'll have to deal with the revelation that he wasn't quite as good as we'd been led to believe, of course... One thing’s for sure, we doubt Daniels and co will delay in giving the fans what they want. If you’re looking for more to watch, check out our TV Guide or visit our Drama hub for all the latest news.

Tick, Tick... Boom! true story: Andrew Garfield, Lin-Manuel Miranda on translating Jonathan Larson's life to screen
"Even in his original drafts, they were always semi-autobiographical."
Tick, tick… Boom! – the semi-autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson – has been adapted into a new movie starring Andrew Garfield, detailing Larson's attempts to break into musical theatre with a sci-fi musical named Superbia. Songs from the Superbia soundtrack make it into the film, which also documents how Larson passed away the night before the debut of his hit musical Rent after suffering an aortic dissection, believed to have been caused by undiagnosed Marfan syndrome. In short, Tick, tick… Boom! is both an adaptation of the original musical and a biopic and the film – directed by Lin-Manuel Miranda – is streaming now on Netflix. On adapting the source material, Miranda told RadioTimes.com: "Jonathan gave us several gifts in writing Tick, tick… Boom! Even in his original drafts, they were always semi-autobiographical. Susan's not really the name of his girlfriend, Michael is not really the name of his best friend. He even had a pseudonym for [composter Stephen] Sondheim in the original version. And in doing so, he gave us licence to play with that semi-autobiographical nature. "There are many drafts of the rock monologue he performed in 1990. And in the early '90s, there's the Off Broadway version that I fell in love with when I saw it my senior year university, and [Tick, tick… Boom!] Steven Levenson and I worked really hard to create... alright, if Jonathan Larson ever had the chance to make this into a film, what would he pick and choose? What songs work better on screen? What don't? We really try to think of him as a collaborator in this and so we cut two songs from the Off Broadway version, we put back into that stuff he used to perform in the monologue, we grabbed some sections of Superbia that no one has ever heard, because he spent his twenties writing this musical and the guiding principle was sort of always... what would Jonathan Larson want to see up on that screen?” Playing Larson, Andrew Garfield said his challenge was to channel the man's passion. "What is the ticking? Is it about turning 30? Is it Susan's biological clock? Is it that 'I haven't achieved all this'? Or is it the thing that Lin was saying about himself, which is, it's not about arbitrary goals, or the external success, for Jon, it's like.. I have all of this music to give. And I'm pregnant with it. And it hurts to hold it in. "I think there was an awareness that he had, for whatever mysterious reason, that he knew he wasn't going to be here for as long as he would like. There was an original line in the original version of Tick, tick… Boom! which they cut afterwards, because it felt too on the nose and maybe insensitive to Jon, which was 'sometimes I feel like my heart is going to explode'. And then what we find out and what we know is that, you know, he did die of an aortic aneurysm. And he lived like his heart was going to explode – his heart was constantly exploding forth with art, music, love, longing, anger, revolutionary outrage. "I think for whatever reason for me that ticking is that mysterious thing of the muses, the gods of theatre going 'get it out, get it out' because you really don't have a lot of time. And of course, he was witnessing his friends of his in his community getting sick and in lots of cases dying very young from AIDS, which of course was combined with his own inner anxiety, or all of these things just created this whirlwind of an elemental kind of human being that was having to be alive for this very brief kind of comet like moment in time. And thank God, he devoted himself so much in the face of all that rejection, in the face of all of that resistance. Because otherwise the world would be far less rich." View oEmbed on the source website Joshua Henry, who plays Roger in the film, added that Larson's "tremendous legacy" was something that the cast and crew of Tick, tick… Boom! "wanted to honour and really lift up". "I mean, this is one of the most passionate, authentic, unique voices of our generation, who taught us that we can tell our own stories about our community and really put that out there," Henry said, while Vanessa Hudgens – playing Karessa Johnson – highlighted Larson’s courage in promoting under-represented communities. "I think that this is just a really beautiful peek behind the curtain as to what it actually looks like to live in the '90s as an artist in the midst of the AIDS crisis, and how scary that was, and the fact that he put those characters, the LGBTQ community in the front and centre is something that was not socially acceptable, you know, but he did it anyways, because he fought for what he knew was right. And I think that standing by someone like that is a win-win scenario." Touching on the movie's decision to focus on Larson's struggle to bring Superbia – a project he worked on for eight years – to the stage, Henry said "I have to say, it's important to see the thing that led up to Rent. We always hear about the success, right? But you don't hear about the 50 other start-up things that never saw the light of day, and the growth process, you know? He had to fail, he had to fail for us to see Rent. And now we get to see what that stepping stone is." Additional reporting by Patrick Cremona.

Yellowstone season 4 cast: Who will be returning?
Paramount is lassoing viewers in for a fourth season.
Yellowstone season 4 is finally here, as we catch up with the characters on the plain where civility and morality are always in question. Showrunner Taylor Sheridan has created a significant hit in the Paramount Network drama – enough for the story to spin-off into two new shows, named Y:1883 and 6666 – and it's easy to see why. After being offered half a billion dollars for his ranch and the land surrounding it, “stubborn” isn’t quite the word to describe old-timer owner John Dutton, and fans are keen to see what happens next. Read on for a primer on who's returning for the season 4 cast. We've split it into Team Yellowstone and Team Corporation, the former looking to retain for cultural purposes (with pride and purpose) and the latter in a bid to develop the area for stone-cold commerce. Team Yellowstone John Dutton played by Kevin Costner The first member of Team Yellowstone, big-time ranch owner Dutton is “locked in the past" with the "mentality of a CEO”. He (as the figurehead) and his associates spend their life reaping the ranch and fending off enemies. Beth Dutton played by Kelly Reilly Head of mergers and acquisitions, tornado-to-the-trailer-park Beth returned to Yellowstone to help her father deal with the ranch’s affairs. Presently, her scars are there for all to see, but she is as true to Team Yellowstone as her father despite her corporate prowess. Rip Wheeler played by Cole Hauser Rip became an orphan through traumatic circumstances. Handed a lifeline by John, he found a life worth continuing as part of his kin, working his way up to the role of foreman. Rip and Beth are long-standing love interests, having grown up together. Kayce Dutton played by Luke Grimes Kayce has seen two sides of Montana from his home in Yellowstone to his in-laws' digs over in Broken Rock Reservation. The torn former Navy SEAL and his Native American wife Monica want the best for their only son, Tate. The ranch has put this in jeopardy but there’s only one way out for him and his family and it’s not fleeing. Monica Dutton-Long played by Kelsey Asbille Granddaughter of one of the Native American elders on the reservation part of Yellowstone, Monica yearns for balance. Teacher by vocation, she hopes to make best use of her voice and perspective in raising Tate and guiding her students. Tate Dutton played by Brecken Merrill Apple of the ranch’s eye, young Tate, is the youngest in the ranch (and cast!). Having already been through a lot as a target, he’s eager to learn how to carry on the legacy of Yellowstone, while grandfather John still has energy to pass on the trade. Thomas Rainwater played by Gil Birmingham Formerly opposing the Duttons in their retention of the ranch, Chairman Thomas sees it as beneficial to now ally with them if he has any chance of reclaiming the environs for his ancestor’s Native American splendour. Angela Blue Thunder played by Q’orianka Kilcher Angela is the prodigal daughter of Broken Rock Reservation. Reinventing herself as a business consultant in San Francisco, she could be Beth’s equivalent on the Reservation – younger and perhaps as fierce. Though we have her down as Team Yellowstone, season four will reveal where she stands in the bigger picture. Jamie Dutton played by Wes Bentley Odd one out of the family Jamie is more concerned with formal accolades as an attorney general than bucolic toil, though he would prefer his dad John’s validation. However, “dad John” turned out to be “adopted dad John” as he (like Rip) found himself with a lineage apart from Dutton. After a torrent of unfortunate events, Jamie distances himself from the Dutton clan to find his biological father amid the revelation. But would Jamie ever betray them for a claim to land himself? Governor Perry played by Wendy Moniz Jamie Dutton’s rise through the ranks was spurned by Governor of Montana Lynelle Perry. Was it because of her flickering romantic connection with widowed John Dutton and his rustic charm? Either way, we know she wields great political power which could assist the Duttons' bid. Team Corporation Caroline Warner played by Jacki Weaver View oEmbed on the source website Part of Team Corporation, Warner is the new CEO of the company which aims to displace Team Yellowstone for commercial gain, coming in the form of an airport and ski resort. She replaces Willa Hayes played by Karen Pittman who had fallen foul of the system she trusted in so ardently. Roarke Morris played by Josh Holloway Roarke turned his efforts of a life in crime to the world of land developing in Montana. Warner may oversee, but it’s his nimble dealings that will be crucial to Team Corporation’s progress. Yellowstone season 4 airs on the Paramount Network in the US, with an air date on Paramount Network UK and My5 yet to be announced.

The Tower: Release date, cast and trailer for new ITV drama
Starring Gemma Whelan, The Tower is an adaptation of author Kate London's first novel Post Mortem.
ITV has released brand new crime drama The Tower, an adaptation of Post Mortem, which is the first instalment of Kate London’s Metropolitan series of novels. The three-part drama follows Detective Sergeant Sarah Collins as she investigates the sudden and mysterious death of a veteran beat cop and a teenage girl, who fall to their deaths from a London tower block. The new series might be the latest in a long line of ITV crime dramas following police procedurals, from Grace to Marcella, but ahead of The Tower’s debut, cast member Tahirah Sharif (The Haunting of Bly Manor) promised that the series would be different from “other police dramas” and shine a light on police officers' "unconscious biases". Sharif, who plays PC Lizzie Adama told RadioTimes.com and other press that the show will offer something new and "humanise police officers and show that they make mistakes, or let emotion[s] lead them at times, or let their own kind of, I guess unconscious biases lead them in different ways”. For everything you need to know about The Tower, which comes courtesy of Windhover Films and Mammoth Screen, including its release date, cast and trailer, read on. The Tower release date The Tower kicked off on Monday 8th November at 9pm, as DS Sarah Collins rose to the challenge of solving the show's central mystery – what happened in the run-up to the tower block fall? The Tower on ITV: How many episodes? The three-part drama has been stripped across the week, with the second instalment having aired a day after the first on Tuesday 9th November at 9pm. Viewers won't have to wait long for episode three, which airs on Wednesday 10th November at 9pm. All three episodes were also made available on ITV Hub after the first premiered. The Tower cast Gemma Whelan takes on the lead role as Detective Sergeant Sarah Collins, having recently appeared in TV series Frayed as Hannah and having featured in Game of Thrones, Gentleman Jack and Upstart Crow. She's joined in The Tower cast by the following: Lizzie Adama played by Tahirah Sharif (as seen on Casualty, Waterloo Road, Haunting of Bly Manor) DI Kieran Shaw played by Emmett J Scanlan (as seen on Hollyoaks, Peaky Blinders, Kin) DC Steve Bradshaw played by Jimmy Akingbola (as seen on Cheat, The Most Dangerous Game, In the Long Run) DC Jez Vine played by Jim English (as seen on New Blood, Holby City, Coronation Street) DCI Tim Bailie played by Karl Davies (as seen on Happy Valley, Brief Encounters, Chernobyl) The Tower trailer You can get a first-look at The Tower and all the drama it's set to deliver below... The Tower plot The official synopsis for The Tower reads: “A veteran beat cop and a teenage girl fall to their deaths from a tower block in south-east London. Left alive on the roof are a five-year-old boy and rookie police officer Lizzie Griffiths. Within hours, Lizzie has disappeared, and Detective Sergeant Sarah Collins is charged with leading the investigation. She not only has to track down Lizzie before she comes to serious harm, but also to uncover the truth behind the grisly deaths.” Speaking on the conception of the series, writer Kate said: “Within a matter of weeks [of joining the police] I was writing - not for publication, but because I just had to get down on paper the world I encountered: its complexity, laughter, loyalty, the moral conflicts and the dangers that were not only physical. “Policing showed me London in a way no other job could. The product of this experience was my first novel, Post Mortem.” The Tower book series comes in three parts with Death Message and Gallowstree Lane being the subsequent novels after the initial Post Mortem. Crime drama fanatics may make an eager dash to their local bookshop for hints as to the plotline and any following twists and turns...

Meet the cast of Night Teeth: Full list of actors and characters in the Netflix film
Your guide to the key characters in the sharp Netflix original, and the cast who play them.
With new Netflix vampire thriller Night Teeth, director Adam Randall returns to the streaming giant after helming their first UK Netflix Original Movie in the guise of iBOY in 2017. Driver Benny spends his working evening being dazzled by how the other half live during his premier shift as a chauffeur. A world away from his lower middle-class habitat in Boyle Heights. But he soon realises he’s out of his depth when he finds out his passengers are vampires with a vengeance. Remember, “there are three rules”… Produced by 42 and Unique Features, Brent Dillon takes charge of writing the screenplay with wife and husband duo The Hultquists scoring the piece, amid the fresh injection of modern tunes. Read on for an in-depth guide to the cast of characters who appear in Night Teeth – and the actors who play them. Megan Fox plays Grace Who is Grace? Queen vampire Grace plays a tentative game with Eva as they attempts to quash the thought of upheaval from her lessers. Beverly Hills is her turf and she doesn’t plan on giving it up that easily… Where have I seen Megan Fox before? Perhaps locally? Just kidding, she’s an international superstar, with movie roles in the Transformers franchise, Jennifer's Body and two Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films. You may have spotted her on a few magazine covers and even in the music video of Eminem & Rihanna’s duet, “Love The Way You Lie”. Most recently she’s starred in another horror-thriller Till Death and has completed filming for Brian Petsos-directed Big Gold Brick, scheduled for release in 2022. Sydney Sweeney plays Eva Who is Eva? Pianist and Beverly Hills-controlling queen-pin vampire Eva shoulders her responsibility with partner Grace. She lives a nocturnal lap of luxury cohabiting the mansion overlooking the suburb, but is she aware of the threat that lays ahead? Where have I seen Sydney Sweeney before? You may know Sweeney as Eden from The Handmaid’s Tale. She also starred as Snake, one of ringleader Manson’s devotees, in Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. Alexander Ludwig plays Rocco Who is Rocco? Clearly-unhinged sleeveless maniac vampire Rocco looks like he’d be also be suited to challenging YouTubers to high-windfall boxing matches. But instead he controls Venice in the power hierarchy. Receiving a visit from an old friend, is he prepared to welcome her in with some new faces? Where have I seen Alexander Ludwig before? Ludwig would be best known for his role as Bjorn in Vikings or as Dorn in Bad Boys For Life. You may even remember him from The Hunger Games where he played Cato. Jorge Lendeborg Jr. plays Benny Who is Benny? A “run before he can walk” kind of guy, one would be convinced he’s studious enough to know better… Benny is an aspiring DJ/producer set on the big time. Skateboarding around Boyle Heights, he seems content at being an all-round inbetweener for the moment, though. But that all changes after his half-brother Jay gives into his pleads for a job at his high-end chauffeur company. Director Randall was dead set on Jorge after his audition, telling his agent, “It just has to be Jorge.” Where have I seen Jorge Lendeborg Jr before? You may know Jorge as Jah Son in Hulu’s Wu-Tang: An American Saga. Or even from his on-screen debut where he starred as one of the four teens in The Land. Debby Ryan plays Blaire Who is Blaire? One of the younger vampires on the scene, Blaire is one half of a sisterly pairing with elder Zoe. Along with her sibling, she uses Benny's chauffeur company to go about from party to party where she carries out her deadly business. Where have I seen Debby Ryan before? Ryan has been the face of Disney Channel Original Jessie, where she plied her trade by co-developing, co-producing and directing. It was during this time she’d become the youngest actress in the multi-camera community at the Directors Guild of America! Ryan had been a Disney Channel fixture since her first role alongside Dylan and Cole Spruce in Suite Life on Deck as Bailey Pickett, but her most recent recurring role would be in Netflix series Insatiable as Patty Bladell. Lucy Fry plays Zoe Who is Zoe? Curt and cold vampire Ms Zoe Moreau has a penchant for confrontation. The plain-speaking man-eater laughs in the face of Night Legion’s arrows as she, Blaire & Victor attempt to seize the night for their own. Where have I seen Lucy Fry before? Fry’s acting career has overlapped the mediums of TV, Film & Theatre. She is probably best-known for her ongoing role as Stella Gigante in Godfather of Harlem. Fry plays to her strengths in this role as a blood-sucking paranormal after a previous role as Vasalisa Dragomir in Vampire Academy. Alfie Allen plays Victor Who is Victor? Victor is a British vampire gone rogue. He and his romantic partner Zoe are adamant on claiming rights to the city that were once never afforded to them… Where have I seen Alfie Allen before? Game of Thrones fans will know Allen as youngest Iron-born heir, Theon Greyjoy. He also recently appeared in Jojo Rabbit which picked up several nominations from the Oscars, Golden Globes and SAG awards. Raúl Castillo plays Jay Perez <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2021/10/raul-ed675bf.jpg" width="2662" height="1773" alt="LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - MAY 20: Raúl Castillo attends STARZ' Los Angeles "Vida" Season 2 Red Carpet and Premiere at Regal LA Live on May 20, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Michael Kovac/Getty Images for Starz Entertainment, LLC )" title="STARZ' Los Angeles "Vida" Season 2 Red Carpet Premiere And Party" /> Who is Jay? Upholding a pact spanning generations, Jay heads the crew protecting the human world. This makes Jay a busy man - much too occupied to see his half-bro Benny. But after the line is crossed in this volatile world, Jay and Benny need to resolve their differences as greed spills over as blood. Where have I seen Raúl Castillo before? Castillo also has an acting career overlapping the mediums of TV, film and theatre. He’s also a playwright, with his work being showcased in Chicago and New York stage venues. He is probably best-known for his role as Richie Donado Ventura in HBO’s Looking. Marlene Forte plays Abuela Who is Abuela? Benny and Jay’s dear grandmother took both boys in after their mother’s passing. A conservative old-timer, she wants Benny to follow a traditional work path and hopes he settles down with the right partner. Where have I seen Marlene Forte before? With a career spanning three decades, Forte would probably be best known for her role in the series Dallas, appearing as Carmen Ramos. With several roles in productions coming close to release, expect to catch Forte in more. Night Teeth is streaming now on Netflix.

Big Mouth season 5: Release date, cast for Netflix comedy series
Bigmouth strikes again! The Smiths knew it all along…
It's safe to say the characters of Big Mouth have had a rather messy adolescence - but thankfully the show itself has had far fewer growing pains, delivering four acclaimed seasons with a fifth now on the way. The show was renewed for a whopping three more seasons - as well as a spin-off - after the release of season three, so there's plenty more amusingly absurd tales of teenage angst to come. Thanks to Netflix's big TUDUM event, we finally have a release date for season five - and it's very soon. Here's everything you need to know about Big Mouth season five. Big Mouth season 5 release date The streaming giant has loyally provided fans with a new series per year since its 2017 birth, and this is not about to change for season five. Big Mouth's fifth season will arrive on Friday 5th November 2021 - less than a year after season four debuted in December 2020. View oEmbed on the source website The release date was revealed at Netflix's big TUDUM event in September 2021, and arrives on an appropriate month as Big Mouth season five is set to cover events from "No Nut November" up until the New Year - meaning there may well be a Christmas special similar to previous episodes based on Valentine's Day and Halloween. Big Mouth cast Thankfully, we didn’t have to stomach a teary death of a character in season four, so we expect to see all the main cast in season five. The main case includes: Nick Birch (along with Maury, Coach Steve, Lola and Rick) played by Nick Kroll Andrew Glouberman (and Grandpa Andrew) played by John Mulaney Jessi Glaser played by Jessi Klein Jay B (along with Socrates and Guy B) played by Jason Mantzoukas Missy played by Ayo Edebiri Devon played by Jak Knight Connie (along with Diane, Bath Mat, Ghost of Elizabeth Taylor, Ghost of Whitney Houston) played by Maya Rudolph Matthew played by Andrew Rannells. They'll also be some new guest stars this season, and in true Big Mouth style they will not be voicing humans but lovebugs and hate worms - the latest anthropomorphic representation of emotions that will teach the characters some life lessons. Modern Love star Brandon Kyle Goodman will be joining as Nick's lovebug Walter who will be encouraging him to pursue Jessi, who has her own lovebug called Sonya played by King of the Hill's Pamela Adlon. Missy, on the other hand, will receive a hate worm called Rochelle, voiced by Hustlers actress Keke Palmer. Goodman, Adlon and Palmer are also set to star in Human Resources, the long-gestating Big Mouth spin-off that is set in the world of the Hormone Monsters and the other creatures that manage human life. Big Mouth season 5 trailer Sadly no trailer just yet, but we'll update this page as soon as we can with one. Expect a trailer in October in the weeks leading up to the season's release date. What will happen in Big Mouth season 5? Though the sky’s the limit with an animated series like Big Mouth, it's kept relatively grounded as the main characters are in year eight at Bridgeton Middle School in Westchester Country. Romances between Jessi & Nick, Jay & Lola and Missy & Devon have been the main drivers of the overall plot. We wonder how their relationships will progress or regress as they inch closer to end of middle school. Matthew recently came out as gay, something his mum found difficult to accept. Season five will no doubt continue to explore that sensitive theme. As shown in the poster, this season's overarching theme however will be love and hate. Following in the footsteps of the Hormone Monsters, the Shame Wizard and the anxiety mosquitoes, the theme will quite literally be represented onscreen by lovebugs and hate worms, shapeshifting creatures that amplify each character's feelings of - you guessed it - love or hate respectively. Nick's lovebug Walter will prompt him to ask out Jessi once more, but her public rejection sees Walter transform into a hate worm and lead Nick down a dark, spiteful path. Jessi's rejection of Nick comes just as she is getting closer to Ali - prompting her and new lovebug Sonya to ponder whether she likes Ali more than a friend. However Jessi's closeness with Ali inspires more than just jealousy in Missy - but also leads to the arrival of her own hate worm Rochelle, sending Missy on a similarly bitter journey to Nick. There will be more than just ongoing spirals of love and hate this season though - as co-creator Mark Levin said at a USC Comedy Festival panel that the fifth instalment will “explore a little bit more about kids advocating and becoming political.” However fellow co-creator Jennifer Flackett added that the show's lengthy production time makes topical comedy tricky, so any political themes would have to be rather broad. “It takes us a long time to make a season, so topical humour is really, really hard,” Flackett said. “You can do something about political identity, like ‘I’m a Republican, I’m a Democrat, I’m a whatever,’ but I don’t think we could do anything [more specific]. Because we want the world to feel somewhat timeless, anyway.” Big Mouth season five will be released on Friday 5th November 2021. Want something else to watch?

Will there be a Zootropolis 2? Release date speculation and news
Your favourite rabbit and fox duo are back! Granted, Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps may be the only rabbit and fox duo you know of. In the first Zootropolis, we followed the endeavours of Judy, the plucky bunny who moves to the city. She brings hopes of becoming a police officer, though “top-of-the-class” achievements are overlooked, her superior doubting a “rabbit” could ever be a competent law enforcer. She’s able to prove her doubters wrong by pairing up with con-artist fox Nick, who uses his power for good to assist Judy in uncovering and ousting a plot to cause legislative discourse between the predators and the prey, but there's enough spoilers from us. The franchise altered its name for different territories, being known as Zootopia in the Americas. This hasn’t stopped the original from cracking the top 50 highest grossing films ever! Read on for your guide to Zootropolis 2, including release date, cast and more. Do we have a release date for Zootropolis 2? We do not currently have a confirmed release date for Zootroopolis 2? Who will star in Zootropolis 2? Viewers will be tickled pink with the calibre of high-profile voices portrayed in the sequel. Adam Sandler (playing Lou Coyote), Idris Elba (playing Chief Bogo) and even noughties teen sensation Frankie Muniz (playing Shoe Founder/Inventor), to name but a few. The recent death of Tommy "Tiny" Lister is a blow to production, so we’ll have to see if he is replaced or reprises his role as Finnick. The main cast will include: Ginnifer Goodwin as Judy Hopps Jason Bateman as Nick Wilde Jenny Slate as Bellwether Mike Myers as Tadashi Gorki Zootropolis 2 plot Now we know that Nick and Judy are both cops, we’ll most definitely follow their continued crime-fighting effort in the animated wonderland. Given their chemistry and how they couldn’t have developed without the other by their side, we wonder “will they, won’t they”... Also considering recent and appropriate protests surrounding equality, we’ll also be interested in how this may tie into the new story. Will Bellwether have served her time and be back out with a vengeance? If not, what will a new villain’s evil intentions be? Is there a trailer for Zootropolis 2? Sadly nothing just yet, but we'll update this page as soon as we have one. If you're looking for something to watch tonight, head over to our TV Guide.
