Q-Force
Thursday September 2nd
exclusively on Netflix
They’re here, they’re queer and they’re absolutely badass! Spy fans keep your eyes peeled for September 2, that’s when Q-Force launches on Netflix. The story centres around Steve Maryweather, whose bosses don’t react too well when he comes out. Steve is stationed in at the obscure West Hollywood branch even though he was one of the top members of the American Intelligence Agency. He does not accept his fate and assembles his own team of openly queer team of fields agents. They decide to go rogue and set up their own mission to prove their worth to the AIA.
The show is made by members of the LGBTQIA+ community including Sean Hayes and Wanda Sykes. So, we suspect that we’ll get some quality queer content in Q-Force.
Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol
Thursday September 16th
Exclusively on peacock
In the screen version of Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol we meet Ashley Zukerman as the new Robert Langdon. This time we don’t get a single movie that tells the story but an entire series! Our beloved Harvard symbologist is unexpectedly summoned to give an evening lecture in the U.S. Capitol Building, but things take a turn. A Hand of Mysteries is left behind in the Capitol Building. His mentor Peter Solomon, a prominent Mason, is also brutally kidnapped. Langdon is pulled in a global conspiracy to solve an ancient secret.
Those of you who have read the book will probably know what will happen. But book or no book, we are definitely tuning in on September 16th!
Star Wars: Visions
Wednesday September 22nd
exclusively on disney+
Anime and Star Wars fans rejoice! On September 22nd Disney+ blesses us with a Star Wars anime series. Star Wars: Visions consists of 9 short films produced by 6 Japanese animation studios, including Kill la Kill’s Trigger and Ghost in a Shell’s Production I.G.
Aside from the titles of the different episodes we know very little about what the stories will look like. But Star Wars: Visions sure looks promising!
Foundation
Friday September 24th
exclusively on apple tv+
What if you could predict mankind’s future with numbers? Mathematician Hari Seldon, played by Jared Harris, developed a new and effective mathematical sociology. His theory allows him to predict the future of large populations. Seldon foresees the fall of the enormous Galactic Empire. This prediction causes quite the turmoil. In order to slightly deflect the onrushing mass of catastrophic events Seldon creates the Foundation to preserve the spirit of science and civilisation.
Why should you watch Foundation? It is based on the novels of Isaac Asimov, which received several awards. The Foundation trilogy even beat Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings for the Best All-Time Series Hugo Award! In other words, it is definitely a science fiction series to look forward to!
4400
Monday October 25th
The cw network
A promising reboot of the 2004 series, 4400 tells the same story of 4400 overlooked, undervalued, or marginalised people who vanished without a trace over the last hundred years. Out of nowhere they are suddenly all returned in an instant without having aged or a single memory of what happened. The government races to analyse the threat and to contain the story.
The teaser for 4400 certainly piqued our interests!
Animaniacs
Friday November 5th
exclusively on hulu
To say it in Yakko’s own words: reboots are symptomatic of a fundamental lack of originality in Hollywood. In this case that definitely does not seem the case. Yakko, Wakko and Dot pick up right where they ended. We get a whole new dose of the zaniness we all loved. The trailer shows us the Animaniacs as Greek Gods, Wakko’s sandwich right where he left it and some epic anime-inspired action. Another reason why we’re watching the series is the executive producer: Steven Spielberg.
Hawkeye
Wednesday November 24th
exclusively on disney+
Marvel has not yet released a trailer for Hawkeye so we can only guess what the upcoming series will about. Looking at the series and films that Disney put out this and last year, one thing is certain: it will be absolutely epic! Hawkeye introduces the beloved comic book character Kate Bishop and Black Widow’s sister Yelena Belova also returns. In the post-credit scene of Black Widow, we saw how Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine told Yelena that Clint Barton was responsible for her sister’s death. Tensions will most likely rise high. Knowing Yelena, she will immediately go after Hawkeye and thus probably be the villain of the series. The only question is: for how long? One good talk with Clint might resolve the whole situation.
