Titans was renewed for its fourth season shortly before the third season ended. In the latest installment, the heroic Titans had to battle across Gotham to unravel the intricate mystery behind Jason Todd’s death.
Now, after saving Gotham, the Titans have decided to return to San Francisco and resume their daily lives. However, complications are not long in coming. The official synopsis of the fourth season states that: A visit to Metropolis changes the fate of the superheroes, who suddenly, find themselves in the crosshairs of a supernatural cult with dangerous powers.
It looks like this season’s main antagonist will be Sebastian Blood, aka Brother Blood, played by actor Joseph Morgan. Brother Blood is one of the most challenging threats to be featured on the HBO Max show so far. Morgan has described his character as “Dark. Damaged. Emotional. Vulnerable. And vengeful. So very vengeful”.
The cast of Titans will remain largely the same. As for the villains, interesting signings will be added to play the enemies on duty. The show will be directed by Eric Dean Seaton, Nicholas Copus, Jon Cassar, among others.
The Crown
Netflix | Season 5 | Release date: Wednesday, November 9, 2022
The hit show is now ready to begin a new chapter in the history of the Windsor house.
Given that the fourth season of The Crown is set during Margaret Thatcher’s time as Prime Minister and introduces Charles’ marriage to Lady Diana Spencer, it is likely that the new installment will focus on royal affairs referring to the 1990s.
Although much of the project still remains under wraps, it appears that the fifth season will be devoted to exploring the dissolution of Charles and Diana’s marriage, potentially one of the main themes.
It has been speculated that the storyline may focus in large part on the year 1992, which the Queen declared to be “annus horribilis” (horrible year). During that year, three of the Queen’s four children separated from their spouses, and Windsor Castle suffered a devastating fire.
Will The Crown return for a sixth season?
It is important to remember that the Netflix original series has already been renewed for a sixth season. Peter Morgan, the show’s creator has confirmed that the initial plan to culminate the story with a fifth installment was scrapped in favor of expanding the plot. As expected, The Crown will return with plenty of family drama and political tensions.

The Santa Clauses

The 1994 film Santa Clause has become a beloved holiday classic. Over the course of nearly 30 years, the feature film has spawned two popular sequels: The Santa Clause 2 (2002) and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006). Just when we thought this joyous story had concluded, Scott Calvin returns with his own limited series for Disney+. The best news is that actor Tim Allen reprises his iconic role.
The first teaser of The Santa Clauses drops some hard news: Scott Calvin wants to retire! “For the good of Christmas, for the good of my family, I, Santa Claus, have decided to retire”, announces the protagonist in the series teaser.
Nearing his 65th birthday, Scott is eager to hang up his Santa Claus suit. On the one hand, he feels that his magical powers are beginning to dissipate. On the other hand, he believes that his children, born and raised at the North Pole, should become part of the real, everyday world and join a new life in Chicago.
As you might expect, Christmas cannot exist without someone to embody the figure of Santa Claus. So, before he retires, Scott Calvin must take on the challenging task of finding a suitable replacement. The big question of the show is: who will be worthy of donning the red suit on Christmas Eve? There are rumors that Peyton Manning is among the heavy favorites.
It should be added that Tim Allen not only stars in the series, but is also the executive producer. The project is directed by Jason Winer and screenwriter Jack Burditt is in charge of developing the story. The Santa Clauses will have a two-episode premiere, scheduled for November 16, 2022. Good to know that a great adventure awaits at the North Pole!
