Scream VI
(2023)
This time around, the setting may be new, as in New York City instead of good old Woodsboro, but many of the faces will be familiar from past Scream movies. Stars like Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Hayden Panettiere, and Courteney Cox, among others, are returning, as well as Roger L. Jackson, the voice of Ghostface. And if you haven’t checked it out yet, watch our interviews with the cast to find out who figured out the killer was during production, despite not being given the final act of the script until the last minute.

65
(2023)
One big reason to watch this one is that Adam Driver, no stranger to sci-fi, leads the way in this film as a pilot who crashes on what he would discover to be Earth 65 million years in the past. And you know what that means: dinosaurs. He and the only other survivor, played by Ariana Greenblatt, have to deal with all kinds of gnarly prehistoric dangers to survive. Plus, 65 was written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, who also co-wrote A Quiet Place, so we know they’ve got the skills for this type of flick. They also served as producers alongside Sam Raimi, who of course has some thrilling credits of his own.

The Last of Us: Season 1
(2023)
Over the last two months, the story of Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey), as well as other key figures from the game, has captivated audiences with its layered, mature storytelling and heartbreaking humanity, though the jury is still out on its final episode. Will it nail what many gamers consider to be one of the most powerful and divisive endings to a video game story ever told? Regardless, the good news is that it has already been renewed for season 2, so there’s plenty more to come.
