Futurama season 12 crash lands on Hulu this month.

Thanks to Hulu’s Futurama renewal last year, we’ll be seeing more of Fry, Leela, and Bender until at least 2026. And for the show’s upcoming 12th season (due out July 29th), we’ll apparently see the Planet Express crew meet “A.I. friends (and enemies” as well as learn the “true 5 million-year-old story behind the consciousness-altering substance known as coffee.”

Take me down to Tetris city.

Upcoming indie title Drop Duchy combines two of my favorite things — tetrominoes and city-building — into one fascinating-looking game. It’s launching on PC this fall, but a playable demo is planned for Steam users “in the coming weeks.”

Apple’s Formula 1 movie races into theaters next June.

By all reports, Apple and Warner Bros.’ F1 wasn’t cheap to produce, but you can definitely see director Joseph Kosinski putting that budget to work in the film’s new teaser trailer. The movie’s out internationally on June 25th, 2025, June 27th in the US, and will hit Apple TV Plus some time afterwards.


C
A new Magic Knight Rayearth series is in the works.

It’s been three decades since CLAMP blessed with world with their Magic Knight Rayearth magical girl manga, and in celebration of the franchise’s 30th anniversary, TMS Entertainment has announced that it’s working on a new anime adaptation that will once again see Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu Hououji become the guardians of the planet Cephiro.


C
Kite Man is becoming a small business owner this July.

Kite Man — a man whose power is having a kite — isn’t really the kind of DC character you’d expect to see starring in their own animated series. But you can kind of see the appeal to Kite Man: Hell Yeah! (out July 18th) when you hear Stephanie Hsu as an explosive ice skiter and Keith David as a drunken Darkseid.

Look how they massacred my Hellboy.

Director Brian Taylor’s Hellboy: The Crooked Man could wind up being a surprise delight, but the movie’s first trailer does...not exactly inspire all that much confidence.


C
Donald Glover is going to save the new world or die trying.

Donald Glover has been Earnest, and Lando, a very suave John Smith, but Bando Stone & The New World — his latest directing gig — will transform him into an aging singer desperately trying to survive an apocalyptic world that makes little sense. There’s no word yet on when the film debuts.


C
The spirit of Pimp My Ride lives on in Netflix’s Resurrected Rides.

Much like MTV News and its archives, Pimp My Ride is no longer with us, but Netflix’s new car restoration show Resurrection Rides looks like it’ll be the next best thing when it premieres on July 24th.


C
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire hits Max on July 4th.

In terms of blockbuster sci-fi cinema, July 4th will always belong to the original Independence Day, but this year the holiday will also see Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire finally become available to stream on Max.


C
Amazon’s new animated Batman series looks like a jazzy night on the town.

Amazon’s new Batman: Caped Crusader series from executive producers J. J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, and Bruce Timm sounds very much like yet another Batman origin story. But the show’s 1940’s, Golden Era of comics vibe makes it seem like it’ll make for a kitschy watch when it debuts on August 1st.

Dead Rising rises from dead (again).

Dead Rising is getting the rerelease treatment for the second time. Capcom has a short trailer for Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, a re-remaster of the 2006 zombie killing spree game for modern platforms.

But will you be able to turn off the stressful game timer in this iteration? (I doubt it.)

Do you have a moment to talk about A24’s missionary horror?

Hugh Grant was fantastic in HBO’s The Regime as the imprisoned former lover of a deranged dictator who locked him away in a dungeon beneath her castle. And it looks like he’s also going to turn it out in in Heretic, Scott Beck and Bryan Woods new horror about a man with a penchant for imprisoning (and torturing) Mormon missionaries. Movie’s out November 15th.

Live-action turtle pope.

It’s Shadow of the Erdtree day, and Bandai Namco has released a new live-action trailer for the Elden Ring expansion. Crucially, the short video shows what Miriel, Pastor of Vows would look like IRL. He, too, apologizes for the unseemly state of affairs.

A24’s The Front Room is taking Brandy back to her horror film roots this fall.

Brandy’s role in I Know What You Did Last Summer made her an iconic part of the horror film canon. And judging from the first trailer for A24’s The Front Room from co-directors Sam and Max Eggers, Ms. Norwood is ready to remind theatergoers exactly how she became a scream queen. Movie’s out September 6th.

Eureka!

Finally, at long last, Ace Attorney sickos (including yours truly) will finally get what we’ve been asking for — a rerelease of Ace Attorney Investigations. It’s a spinoff series of the popular Ace Attorney games featuring Miles Edgeworth instead of Phoenix Wright as the protagonist. Crucially with this release, we’re finally getting a Western release of Ace Attorney Investigations 2. I cannot wait till September 6th to play on Switch, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox!

A new Mario Party game is here to ruin your family relationships.

Nintendo’s newest Mario Party game is here. Super Mario Party Jamboree features over 110 new minigames, 20-player online multiplayer, new locations, and new features that will undoubtedly infuriate your friends and family. And best yet, it launches October 17th, just in time for the family holiday get-togethers!

What If...? crawled so the new animated Watchmen movies could walk.

Say what you will about Marvel’s What If...? Disney Plus series, but it has obviously had at least some influence on Warner Bros.’ new animated Watchmen films that are scheduled to debut some time in the near future.

Netflix’s next sports docuseries goes inside the helmet of wide receivers.

What will we find there? NBC Sports writer Denny Carter might have the best guess, from this 2017 tweet:

Typical QB tweet: love my teammates god is good!

RB tweet: keep grindin

TE tweet: derp

WR tweet: the enemy speaks kindly & holds a knife

Following last year’s Quarterback series, Receiver premieres on Netflix on July 10th.

Casey Affleck and Matt Damon are instigating.

Apple used The Instigators during WWDC to show off some new features for the Apple TV, but now we have a trailer that actually, you know, let’s you see what the movie is about. The heist flick starts streaming on August 9th, with a limited theatrical run the week before.

Say hello to Me.

Apple’s push into sci-fi continues, but for a slightly younger audience: the streamer just released the first trailer for the coming-of-age series Me. It’s about a kid who can shapeshift, and it starts streaming on July 12th. It’ll be a busy month for sci-fi on Apple TV Plus, with Time Bandits and Sunny also premiering in July.

We’ve been waiting for (dragon) ages.

But now it’s almost time to finally see some Dragon Age: The Veilguard gameplay. EA is closing out Summer Game Fest with a new trailer you can check out at 11AM ET.

The Sands of Time is still alive.

Ubisoft’s troubled Prince of Persia remake is still coming, but not for a while: the publisher now says it’ll be out in 2026.

A brief taste of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

We got a very tiny glimpse at the next AC game, but fear not: a much deeper look is coming, with Ubisoft hosting its own showcase on Monday at 3PM ET.

Max is back.

The star of the original Life is Strange is back in an all-new “supernatural murder mystery” called Double Exposure. It somehow involves solving a crime across two different timelines. It’ll be launching on October 29th.
