While the past two seasons of HBO‘s “True Detective” didn’t measure up to the first, the show still cements Nic Pizzolatto as one of the better TV writers out there. But Pizzolatto isn’t part of the upcoming “True Detective: Night Country,” so what’s his next project? Well, THR reports that he’s at work with Amazon on a new series that may be Prime Video‘s answer to Taylor Sheridan‘s “Yellowstone” behemoth.

Daisy Ridley‘s post-“Star Wars” career has gone okay so far, and the actress has potentially four films coming out this year. And that number may become five if the upcoming thriller “Magpie” with Ridley wraps shooting soon.

yet more Tolkien movies are on the way from their New Line Cinema.“For all the scope and detail lovingly packed into the two trilogies, the vast, complex and dazzling universe dreamed up by J.R.R. Tolkien remains largely unexplored on film,” said Warner Bros. Pictures Group co-chairs Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy.The extended versions of the six “Lord of the Rings” and “Hobbit” films add up to about 20 hours total, which seems pretty well explored to me.On paper, the move is logical.

At this point, is it really up for debate that Dave Bautista is the world’s best professional wrestler turned actor? Sorry, Dwayne Johnson fans, but it’s true: Bautista has better dramatic and comedic chops than him, and it’s not even close. Don’t believe it? Well, on the comedic end of things, audiences will have a new chance to watch Bautista flex his funniness soon.

Carnival Row, season two is released later this week.Neo-noir fantasy Carnival Row premiered on Amazon Prime Video in 2019 and focused on mythical creatures the Fae, who had fled their war-torn homeland only to deal with rising tensions from the human citizens of their new home who weren’t happy about the immigrant population.In Carnival Row, Orlando Bloom stars as Rycroft “Philo” Philostrate, a police inspector investigating a string of unsolved murders that point to a dark conspiracy while Cara Delevingne stars as Vignette Stonemoss, a Fae and his former lover.A second season was confirmed before the first season even aired, and four years later, it’s finally set for release.The first episode of Carnival Row season 2 releases on Amazon Prime Video on February 17, 2023.

Once MGM Studios lost the rights to adapt the “Tomb Raider” video game franchise, the future of all the projects in development became very uncertain. Then there was a high-profile scramble for a buyer to make themselves the new home of the IP, and well, it looks like Amazon has landed the rights.

Following her role as a feisty droid in “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” actor/writer/producer Phoebe Waller-Bridge (“Fleabag”) took another plunge into the world of blockbusters to reunite with Lucasfilm for their fifth and final “Indiana Jones” installment. Well, she must have had a bunch of fun on “The Dial of Destiny” as she’s looking to return to familiar franchise territory with a newly announced live-action “Tomb Raider” series at Amazon, a video game franchise very much inspired by likes of “Indiana Jones” but with a modern setting.

To say that “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” is a massive bet for Amazon is a complete understatement.

Now, Deadline reports Palmer has another major project on the way, with Amazon scooping it up from the marketplace.

Horror fans have tuned into Netflix for Mike Flanagan‘s multiple hit shows for over a half-decade. But now they’ll need to sign up for a different streamer to get their Flanagan fix.

Surprisingly, Prime Video has become a hub for mature genre work, especially when it comes to animation. Just recently, you have projects such as “The Boys: Diabolical” and “Invincible” both becoming major hits for the streamer and pulling no punches in terms of content.

Chloe Grace Moretz on “The Peripheral” before the co-stars filmed their Prime Video sci-fi series.“It was still pretty heavy COVID times, with a lot of restrictions in place. So, we read through the script a lot on FaceTime with each other, and that would lead to us having hours of conversations about our lives,” Reynor, 30, said about Moretz. “We became close through doing that.

It’s common knowledge, at this point, that Amazon Studios paid roughly $700 million for the first season of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.” That does include more than $200 million for the rights agreement with the Tolkien Estate, but even still, that’s a mammoth amount of money. And instead of going with tried and true showrunners or filmmakers with an established pedigree, Amazon Studios chose relative unknowns, Patrick McKay and J.D.
