If you missed out on all the latest goss, however, don’t fret – we’ve got you covered with all the hottest news from the big and small screens alike.
So what are we waiting for? Let’s check out the latest from the world of entertainment.
Netflix
Netflix was the big mover and shaker this month, stunning viewers with a flood of reveals from their inaugural TUDUM event. The streaming giant dropped fresh trailers for a whole bunch of upcoming and continuing series, including fan-favourites Stranger Things and The Witcher.
Stranger Things
The Stranger Things season four trailer gives us a sneak peek of a mysterious and creepy new location, Creel House:
The Witcher
Another hotly anticipated release from Netflix, a new trailer for The Witcher season two reveals Geralt’s mentor Vesemir. Season two hits the platform on December 17.
The Sandman
Based on the cult classic comic book series created by Neil Gaiman, Netflix’s adaptation of The Sandman has also gotten a fresh new teaser. At present, no official release date has been given, so we continue to wait with bated breath!
Cowboy Bebop
‘Tank!’ is already the greatest opening of all time, so naturally the upcoming Cowboy Bebop adaptation didn’t mess with perfection. We are incredibly keen!
Cobra Kai
Another hit Netflix series, the Karate Kid sequel Cobra Kai also got a new trailer for its upcoming fourth season due for release on New Years Eve.
Inside Job
Created by Gravity Falls writer Shion Takeuchi, Inside Job is an adult comedy that parodies common conspiracy theories and features the voices of Lizzy Caplan and Christian Slater. It’s set to debut on Netflix on October 22 and you can check out the all new trailer here (language warning, folks!).

Wheel of Time
Despite having not yet aired its first season, Amazon’s Wheel of Time is already getting a cast shake-up for season two. Barney Harris, who plays Matrim Cauthon in season one, is being replaced by The Witcher’s Dónal Finn for the second season, which has already commenced filming. No reason has been given for Harris’ exit from the show.

If you’ve been living under a rock, you may have missed the first trailer for The Matrix: Resurrections, which shows Keanu Reeve’s Neo living back in the Matrix with no memory of the events from the previous films. We are beyond excited.
Predator
A Predator prequel film, working under the production title of ‘Skulls’, has officially wrapped filming. Helmed by 10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg, the flick is set to portray the Predator’s first-ever voyage to Earth and features Roswell, New Mexico’s Amber Midthunder as the lead.

Hawkeye
The upcoming Hawkeye series has gotten its first official trailer, promising a holiday-themed adventure for the former Avenger, which channels some serious Die Hard energy.

The tunes are still a ways off, though, with the film slated for release in 2023.
