FX’s fall premiere dates for American Horror Story: Hotel, The Bastard Executioner, and Fargo are here. FX’s lineup will introduce us to fresh stories as medieval epic The Bastard Executioner debuts and both Hotel and Fargo add new installments to their respective anthology series.

First up will be the two-hour premiere of the 10-episode first season of Kurt Sutter’s The Bastard Executioner on Tuesday, Sept. 15 at 10/9 c. Set in the 14th century, the story will follow Wilkin Brattle (Lee Jones), a warrior who becomes — you guessed it — an executioner. The cast also includes FX’s Sons of Anarchy alum Katey Sagal, Stephen Moyer, and Flora Spencer-Longhurst, as well as uber-popular British pop singer Ed Sheeran in a recurring role.

Next to air will be American Horror Story: Hotel on Wednesday, Oct. 7, also at 10/9 c. The 13-episode 5th season will explore creepy chaos at a mysterious hotel. As usual, Hotel features an impressive cast, including Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, Angela Bassett, Wes Bentley, Matt Bomer, Chloë Sevigny, Denis O’Hare, Cheyenne Jackson, Evan Peters, Finn Wittrock, and even Lady Gaga as the hotel owner.

Fargo’s next installment comes shortly thereafter, airing on Monday, Oct. 12 at 10/9 c. The 10-episode second season of the Noah Hawley-created series will remain in the Fargo universe we know and love, yet bring us back to the ’70s. A younger Lou Solverson (Patrick Wilson) will investigate what turns out to be a huge crime problem in his small area of the Midwest. Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, and Ted Danson also star.

We’ll excuse you while you go mark your calendar and set your DVR now.

Laika has delivered multiple animated classics like Coraline, ParaNorman, and Kubo and the Two Strings. But with Wildwood, the studio delivered a revolutionary magnum opus that showcases the best of stop-motion storytelling. Directed by Travis Knight (Masters of the Universe), this movie follows teenager Prue (Peyton Elizabeth Lee) as she and her friend Curtis (Jacob Tremblay) venture into a magical forest to rescue her baby brother from a murder of crows sent by the evil sorceress Alexandra (Carey Mulligan).

2026 saw the release of multiple animated hits, including Hoppers, Toy Story 5, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender, GOAT, and Forgotten Island. However, with its mature story, realistic characters, and jaw-dropping animation, Wildwood has proven itself the top contender for Best Animated Feature at this year's Oscars.

The landscapes look convincing. The fake Hugh Jackman and Instagram-face amalgamation playing Penelope are harder to forgive.
Uniform ships Odyssey by Grok

Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.
