Apple television is quick eclipsing HBO as the go-to platform for status television, specifically sci-fi, with standout fare like Slow Horses, Severance, Foundation, For All Mankind, Murderbot, Silo, Pluribusand Widow’s Bayto name a few. Include the upcoming Neuromancer series to that list, an adaption of William Gibson’s extremely prominent 1984 cyberpunk book of the exact same name. The streaming platform launched a brief teaser throughout San Diego Comic-Con, and aesthetically it looks wonderful, even based upon one minute of video.

Saturday’s numerous SDCC panels likewise provided us a teaser for Prime Video’s Carrie; trailers for Dark Matter S2 and Matchbox: The Movie; and a little Marvel casting news.

Fans of Gibson’s book currently understand the Neuromancer story; we’ll need to wait and see how carefully the series will abide by the book. Per the main logline, the series “follows a harmed, top-rung super-hacker called Case who is thrust into a web of digital espionage with his partner Molly, a razor-girl assassin with mirrored eyes, intending to pull a break-in on a business dynasty with unknown tricks.” Callum Taylor, best referred to as Theseus Scamander in the Great Beasts franchise, stars as Case, along with Briana Middleton (The Inheritanceas Molly.

Carrie

I’m a strong fan of Mike Flanagan’s blossoming scary portfolio, and he has a specific affinity for the works of Stephen King, as evidenced by his movie adjustments of Gerald’s Game and Medical professional SleepI admit to being a wee bit doubtful about his brand-new Prime Video miniseries based on CarrieKing’s most well-known character, commemorated by Sissy Spacek in the 1976 movie. We do not require another frustrating remake so what story exists delegated inform– specifically extended over 6 episodes?

On the plus side, Flanagan insists he has no objective of producing yet another straight adjustment of the book.”Carrie was composed half a century back,” Flanagan stated throughout his SDCC panel.”Carrie was adjusted stunningly by Brian De Palma. It is renowned. It is untouchable. There is no factor whatsoever to attempt to follow in those steps and to attempt to stroll on that course. The world has actually altered rather a lot. I believe a great deal of individuals believe they understand what the program is. And the most significant thing I’m ecstatic about today is feeling in one’s bones what a huge surprise our Carrie is going to be.”

The teaser itself does not provide any genuine surprises to anybody knowledgeable about the story, however that’s simply one minute of video footage. I’m likely to rely on Flanagan’s impulses, offered his performance history and the excellent supporting cast he’s put together, that includes numerous of his regulars.

We’ve got Samantha Sloyan– so cooling as the excessively zealous Bev Keane in Midnight Mass— as Carrie’s mom, Margaret White; Michael Trucco as John Hargensen, a rich legal representative and daddy to indicate women ringleader Chris (Alison Thornton); Rahul Kohli as Harold Allison, Margaret’s stepfather; Ruth Codd as Cara; Matthew Lillard as Principal Henry Grayle; Katee Sackhoff as Judith Brigham, Margaret’s mom; Heather Graham as Mrs. Hargensen; Tahmoh Penikett as Margaret’s late hubby and Carrie’s dad, Ralph White; and Katie Siegel in an as-yet-undisclosed function. (I’m thinking we’re going to be getting a great deal of White household flashbacks.)

For the primary cast, we have Summer H. Howell as Carrie; Siena Agudong as Sue Snell, the only popular lady to feel regret for bullying Carrie; Joel Oulette (no relation) as Sue’s sweetheart, Tommy Ross; Amber Midthunder as fitness center instructor Rita Desjardin; Arthur Conti as Chris’s sweetheart Billy Nolan; Josie Totah as Chris’s BFF Tina Blake; and Thalia Dudek as Emaline, a brand-new character developed for the miniseries.

All 6 episodes of Carrie best on October 7, 2026, on Prime Video.

Dark Matter S2

Apple television likewise debuted the main trailer for the 2nd season of its sci-fi series Dark MatterIn S1, quantum physicist Jason Dessen (Joel Edgerton)has an excellent life as a college teacher in Chicago, with a lovely spouse, Daniela(Jennifer Connelly )and boy Charlie(Oakes Fegley). He discovers himself abducted at gunpoint by an alternate variation of himself and sent out into another truth where his life turned out extremely in a different way. His alter-ego has actually determined how to take a trip in between measurements by method of a big metal box.

In the S1 ending, the initial Jason, Daniela, and Charlie discover their method to a relatively safe house in “World 26.” This brand-new trailer makes it extremely clear that their brand-new life is under hazard. Per the main property:

The 2nd season of Dark Matter premieres on August 28, 2026, on Apple television+.

Matchbox: The Movie

There’s very little to state about Matchbox: The Movie that isn’t currently consisted of in the title. It’s a motion picture motivated by Mattel’s Matchbox toy cars and trucks, and evaluating from the SDCC trailer, that’s about all it involves the brand name. In some way director Sam Hargrave and author David Coggeshall have actually turned that thinnest of ideas into a feature-length action funny movie for Apple television. And you understand what? It appears like it might be strong escapist enjoyable.
