The Nun II
(2023)
Another reason is the fact that Sister Irene is back. Once again played by Taissa Farmiga — the sister of Vera Farmiga, who is already a staple in the Conjuring franchise — Sister Irene travels to France in 1956 to face off again with Valak, the demon nun. Lastly, the first The Nun wasn’t a hit with critics, but it did well at the box office, meaning there’s an audience out there hungry for this, so if you’re one of those fans, definitely check this one out.

The Changeling: Season 1
(2023)
The second reason is easy: LaKeith Stanfeild. You loved him in Atlanta and movies like Get Out, Knives Out, and Judas and the Black Messiah, the latter of which earned him an Oscar nom. Here he is at the center of The Changeling, starring as a used book dealer whose wife vanishes, leading him on a crazy odyssey through a New York City he didn’t know existed.
Thirdly, the show was created by Kelly Marcel, whose impressive resume includes writing films like Saving Mr. Banks and Fifty Shades of Grey, along with creating the series Terra Nova — a nice mix of projects to prepare her for this intriguing series.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon: Season 1
(2023)
Perhaps most importantly for fans, Norman Reedus is reprising his role as Daryl Dixon — an actor and character that quickly became fan favorites. We also know that Melissa McBride’s Carol character will be involved in the show in some capacity.
A third reason to jump back into this world is that The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon will take fans to a fresh location, as it follows Daryl after he washes ashore in France and tries to figure out how he got there, and how to get back. Don’t you hate it when that happens?

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 (2023)
Plus, Nia Vardalos, who wrote and starred in the first two installments as well as this one, also directed this time too, centering the story on the Portokalos family as they take a trip to Greece for a family reunion.
And speaking of which, that brings us to our third reason to see this threequel – it was actually filmed in Greece. That’s right, after 1 and 2 were shot in places like Toronto and Chicago, this one goes all the way to Greece, to really put the “Greek” in My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Star Trek: Lower Decks: Season 4
(2023)
Secondly, not only is this the first animated Star Trek project since Star Trek: The Animated Series ended in 1974, but it’s also the first Star Trek comedy. And both of those things are great for the world of Star Trek.
The third reason to head down to the lower decks is that – with a fifth season already greenlit as well – this is part of producer Alex Kurtzman’s expanded Star Trek universe, along with series like Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, all shining examples of how many great stories there are to tell from the final frontier.
