Warning: This article contains Spoilers for Hierarchy episode 7.
Hierarchy season 2 seems inevitable after episode 7's cliffhanger, setting up a new murder mystery. The epilogue hints that Kang Ha may be the next suspect, but it could also be a red herring. Season 2 would bring major changes - new mysteries and potential new villains.
Hierarchy season 2 has not been confirmed, but episode 7s post-credits scene means the K-drama needs to continue despite its limited series status. The newest Netflix original K-drama followed Kang Has quest for revenge as he infiltrated the Jooshin High School to investigate his brothers death. Kang Ha slowly exposed all the cruelty, bullying, and violence that was happening at the school, yet he also fell in love with Jae-i in the process. Hierarchy is a revenge K-drama, but the story has the potential to go beyond that now that In-hans killer, Ji-soon, has been arrested.

There is lots to be said about this year’s Oscars, from winners and losers, to poor broadcasting panels – it is safe to say the award season gave us everything we’re used to.

Manhwa are comics that originate from South Korea, and while their themes and art are quite similar to that of manga, there are a few significant differences. Like Western texts, manhwa are read from left to right, and most of them are in color instead of the traditional manga standard of black-and-white.
Manga fans who are curious about this Korean medium have a lot of options to slog through — most of which may not even be to their tastes. But while there's such a vast library of titles available, the very best manhwa series stand out among the crowd. With gorgeous art styles, thrilling drama, and heart-stopping romance, these iconic titles offer readers the best stories of the medium.

Quentin's sacrifice in The Magicians was a bold decision with deep emotional impact on fans and characters alike. The showrunners took liberties with the source material, altering characters and plots which divided opinions among viewers. Quentin's death highlighted mental health themes but left some feeling that it was more of a shock tactic than a genuine resolution.
Many fans of the SyFy show still want to know why Quentin left The Magicians, as the death of the show's main character in the fourth season was a bold decision — though not one without reason. Based on the trilogy of books by Lev Grossman, The Magicians had a lot of build-up going into the season 4 finale, which ends on a heart-wrenching note, as Quentin, also known as Q, sacrifices himself for his friends — a scene that is beautifully shot, replete with an acoustic rendering of A-Ha’s Take On Me, which...

As the hulks of multi-million-dollar stadiums around the world attest in Haruna Honcoop’s investigative doc “Olympic Halftime,” the greatest global games have also built a reputation for massive waste and deception.

The prequel, directed by Michael Sarnoski, will offer viewers a different perspective of the alien invasion in a crowded urban environment, contrasting with the rural settings of the previous films. A Quiet Place: Day One will explore the initial origins of the alien invasion and the characters' unfamiliarity with the aliens' hunting methods, possibly leading to a larger role for dialogue and communication in the film.

The original Back to the Future movie succeeded due to the strong chemistry and relationships between the cast members, both the protagonists and antagonists. Eric Stoltz was initially cast as Marty McFly but was eventually replaced by Michael J. Fox due to Stoltz's lack of comedic skills and intense method acting. The cast of Back to the Future went through multiple changes, with John Lithgow originally considered for the role of Doc Brown and Melora Hardin replaced as Jennifer Parker due to her height difference with Michael J. Fox.
The original Back to the Future movie kick-started a franchise that remains one of the most popular in film history to this day, but three actors replaced from the original cast would have made for a much different movie if those actors had remained in the parts.

While her life as a makeup artist has spanned a variety of hits in different genres, there is something special about Sid Armour working on the hit TV series Chucky. One of the first films she worked on was actually 1998's Bride of Chucky, and now, 25 years later, she's back with horror legend Don Mancini for the critically acclaimed third season of Chucky on SyFy and USA, streaming next day on Peacock.

As the deadline for Disney and Comcast’s agreement for a sale of Hulu inches closer, the two parties are working to determine the streaming service’s fair-market value. But what happens if they can’t agree? A new filing spells that out.
“In the event the parties do not come to agreement regarding equity fair value, each party appoints an investment banking firm to determine the value,” Disney wrote in an SEC filing Friday. “If the two determinations are not within 10% of each other, then the two investment banking firms select a third firm to make a third determination, in which case the equity fair value shall be the average of the two determinations that are closest in value to each other.”

The following contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 323, "Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown, Part 10" by Gege Akutami, John Werry, and Snir Aharon, available in English from Viz Media.
The deathmatch between Gojo Satoru and ancient sorcerer Sukuna continued in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 232, with their intense battle wearing both parties thin. However, despite the growing fatigue, Gojo has managed to finally land a critical blow on the King of Curses. The chapter ended with the sorcerer hitting Sukuna with his Red technique, one that releases twice as much energy output as Blue, followed by a Black Flash. The curse is out cold, giving Gojo an apt opportunity to enact any plan he may have.
Thus far, Gojo and Sukuna have been engaged in a one on one match but with Sukuna unconscious, now would be an excellent time to introduce some new opponents and prioritize something other than a straight battle. Before the battle,...

Harrison Ford's future in the Indiana Jones franchise is uncertain, which could be a major concern for Disney's plans to expand the series. Ford's recent box office disappointments suggest he may not be eager to reprise his iconic roles, potentially impacting the continuation of the franchise.

The details, however, remain ambiguous for now.

At one point, the Watcher stops by an alternate universe where Gamora is putting on Thanos' armor, and Iron Man is sporting a different suit altogether. Thus, the show hinted at a new version of Stark that viewers might see in Season 2. Now, Hot Toys has seconded that motion by releasing an Iron Man figure in Sakaarian armor.

Despite a general radio silence over the future of Marvel Studios' What If...? Season 2, the next chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's animated series may have zeroed in on a release window.
According to insider CanWeGetSomeToast, the second season of the multiverse-hopping show will hit Disney+ in December 2023 or January 2024. They go on to state that the premiere will not be the much-discussed "What If Tony Landed on Sakaar" episode which was supposedly cut from Season 1. It's worth noting that neither Marvel Studios nor Disney have verified these claims so it's recommended that fans take this news with a grain of salt.

Something was amiss with Michelangelo’s waistline.
Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the team behind the high school comedy “Superbad,” had sold Brian Robbins, the CEO of Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon, on the idea of adding some adolescent anarchy into their animated reboot of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” But there was a problem with the initial designs for the film’s four reptile heroes: Instead of looking like muscular teens, these Turtles were scrawny and malnourished, barely strong enough to wield nunchucks or hurl a throwing star. “They looked like they were on Ozempic,” Robbins jokes.
In his peripatetic career, the 59-year-old Robbins has been on every end of these kind of creative discussions, working as an actor, writer, director, producer, digital entrepreneur and now, studio chief. And that separates him from other movie moguls, who arrive at the C-suite from Mba programs and years spent in the corporate trenches.
