We don’t cover television shows too often, but for this one, we will happily make an exception. Based on the comic of the same name, Frank Darabont brings us a new take on a zombie apocalypse.

The story takes place after the protagonist, police officer Rick Grimes (played by Andrew Lincoln), wakes from a coma after being shot in the line of duty. When he awakes, he discovers that the world has changed and zombies are roaming the street. Grimes returns home to find his wife and son are missing, but a recording leads him to Atlanta, where survivors were told to go and wait for help. Grimes enters Atlanta to to discover that the city is overrun by zombies.

AMC is producing the show, with Darabont as the show runner, and AMC has greenlit six episodes for the first season. The Walking Dead premiers on Halloween night.

10 best movie trailers of 2023, ranked

Furiosa leans back on a wall of fire in Furiosa.

2023 is in the rearview mirror now as the holiday season creeps upon us, meaning it's time for the oh-so-fun season of year-end lists. While there will undoubtedly be dozens of lists commemorating the best movies of the year, it's important to note a smaller yet essential sort of video: the movie trailer.

A good movie trailer is composed of a lot of things, but the biggest aspect of a successful trailer is one that accentuates the hype of a movie while not spoiling the film itself. A trailer that spoils a movie's entire plot is the worst. It's also the worst, though, when a trailer leaves you so in the dark about the movie that a viewer feels no interest in the film itself. It's a delicate balance that only a few of the best trailers really smash it out of the park.

Imaginary trailer introduces a new scare bear

Chauncey, the stuffed bear killer from Imaginary.

If you ever had an imaginary friend growing up, there's a good chance that it didn't turn out to be some kind of supernatural force that would come back to haunt you later in life. But that's exactly what's happening in Blumhouse's upcoming horror flick, Imaginary. Unlike killer doll flicks from the past, Chauncey the stuffed bear looks about as non-threatening as it gets. And Chauncey doesn't appear to be as ambulatory as other murderous toys. Instead, Chauncey's sense of menace comes from what he can inspire his victims to do. Sometimes, Chauncey doesn't even have to lift a paw to make them hurt themselves.

FX’s Shogun trailer breathes new life into the classic tale

Hiroyuki Sanada in Shogun.

In 1980, NBC took a big swing and adapted James Clavell's 1975 novel Shogun for television as an epic five-night miniseries event. It was constantly in rerun sduring the '80s, and Shogun was widely regarded as one of the best TV miniseries ever made. The current incarnation of Shogun was announced in 2018, and it's taken five years to prepare the story for a new generation of fans. But now, FX and Hulu have announced that the Shogun remake will finally premiere in early 2024 as they dropped the first trailer for the series.
