THE LAST FRONTIER - Season 1 - Key Art | ©2025 Apple+

The title of Apple TV’s new series THE LAST FRONTIER refers to a remote, snow-covered region of Alaska, where a government prisoner transport plane has crashed.

Rounding up Hartman and other crash survivors is the responsibility of local U.S. Marshal Frank Remnick, played by Jason Clarke. His mission becomes much more complicated with the arrival of secretive C.I.A. operative Sidney Scofield, played by Haley Bennett, to say nothing of what happens when Remnick’s wife Sarah, played by Simone Kessell, and son Luke (Tait Blum), […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Jamie Costa, Emalia, Indianna Sparke, Brooke Marsden, Jet Tranter, Geoff Imrie Writer: Tom Evans Director: Luke Sparke Distributor: Signature Entertainment Release Date: October 3, 2025 (VOD) SCURRY takes place in real time. It is also made to look like it’s shot in one continuous take, although viewers familiar with how these things are done will notice those helpful optical swerves into black walls and the like. SCURRY begins mid-catastrophe, as the upper floor of an office building shudders while workers try to flee and at least one is grabbed and bloodily killed by something we don’t […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Seth Rogen, Aziz Ansari, Keanu Reeves, Keke Palmer, Sandra Oh, Stephen McKinley Henderson Writer: Aziz Ansari Director: Aziz Ansari Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: October 17, 2025 In GOOD FORTUNE, writer/director Aziz Ansari takes the basic premise of IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE and swirls it together with TRADING PLACES. Ansari adds enough twists so that GOOD FORTUNE isn’t a carbon copy of either, while using Keanu Reeves’s comedic style to maximum effect. Reeves plays Gabriel, an angel with oddly short, fluffy wings. His job is to protect people from the consequences of texting while driving. As an unseen, […]Read On »
