A Goodfella and Marky Ramone battle zombies in animated Killogy teaser

(Warning: zombie violence and foul language make this teaser NSFW)

When it comes to saving New York City from zombies, the teaser for Life of Agony bassist Alan Robert’s animated series Killogy offers one of the more unexpected lineups of unlikely heroes: iconic Goodfellas actor Frank Vincent, punk icon Marky Ramone, Heroes actress Brea Grant, and former Misfits guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein.

Okay, so they’re not actually playing themselves in the six-minute teaser for the series, which features some adult language and gory violence to go along with the bloody mayhem, but they might as well be. And even more surprisingly, it’s the sort of bizarre team-up that falls into both the “so crazy it just might work” and “you need to see it to believe it” categories.

Adapted from Robert’s popular comic book series of the same name, Killogy follows three accused murderers voiced by Vincent, Ramone, and Grant who are forced to contend with a plague of zombies after a voodoo curse turns Brooklyn into their feeding ground — and floods the streets with blood.

The comic book hit shelves in 2012 and was one of the year’s surprise hits, earning praise from critics and fans alike for its unique premise and horror elements. And let’s face it — if there are zombies and comics involved, these days, that means a story is destined for the screen. The original series was followed by a special Halloween story featuring Doyle as a bar bouncer contending with the same zombie infestation.

Adding to the series’ quirky appeal, all three aforementioned characters and the supporting character played by Doyle are actually drawn to look like the real-world actors and musicians playing them.

“If anyone can survive an ocean of blood and an army of possessed monsters, it’s a drummer from Brooklyn,” joked Ramone in an interview with Rolling Stone about the project.

While there’s no release date set for the Killogy series at this point, the project has an impressive creative team behind it, with award-winning producer Rodney Barnes (The Boondocks, Everybody Hates Chris) joined by Chris White (V/H/S Viral), Jeff Mazzola (Descent), and Robert.

Game of Thrones prequel A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms pushed back to 2026
A knight holds his sword as he walks down the street.

One of the ideas behind running two different Game of Thrones prequels at once was to keep the franchise alive on HBO and Max during the long breaks between seasons. However, the next prequel series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, will now be skipping 2025 altogether. And that may mean both House of the Dragon season 3 and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms could come out in the same year.

Via Variety, HBO confirmed the delay when it screened a trailer for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms during its upfront presentation. The trailer ended with a vague 2026 release window, but HBO CEO Casey Bloys suggested that it would be released in winter 2026. That would have it premiere on HBO and Max in either January or February 2026. HBO hasn't announced when House of the Dragon will return. But if season 3 doesn't premiere in 2026, then pushing it back to 2027 would mean a nearly three-year gap between seasons. House of the Dragon season 3 is currently in production.

Andor: Why the Disney+ show is a triumph of Star Wars’ flexibility
Diego Luna as Cassian Andor inside a ship in the Star Wars series Andor season 2.

Director Gareth Edwards’ Rogue One: A Star Wars Story easily became the best Star Wars movie of the Disney era. Even so, few could have predicted that writer Tony Gilroy would also turn Rogue One into a launchpad for Andor, one of Star Wars’s best live-action productions in general. With Andor season 2 finished and the story of Diego Luna’s tragic hero, Cassian, concluded, the series cemented itself as another example of the galaxy far, far away’s creative versatility.

There is no question that Andor’s approach to realism is decidedly different than much of the franchise’s more operatic sci-fi adventures. While the Disney+ Star Wars series’ adherence to grit and realism might not strike a chord with fans who appreciate the franchise’s more fantastical side, it’s still a triumph for its image as a whole. Whether realistic or mystical, Andor shows across two seasons how this franchise’s sandbox rewards different sci-fi subgenres without losing its identity or needing a big legacy name to sell it.

We’re never going to see a movie like Mad Max: Fury Road again
Nicholas Hoult and Tom Hardy in Mad Max: Fury Road.

The second people got their hands on it, Mad Max: Fury Road felt special. The movie, which came 30 years after the last installment in this franchise, felt like a miracle. Set almost entirely in the desert, its sheer scale and intensity were so marvelous that, even though it's a deeply weird movie, the 2016 Oscars simply couldn't resist nominating it for many awards.

10 years later, Fury Road's stature has only grown. Even though we got Furiosa, which I'd argue is every bit as good as Fury Road, Miller's first return to Mad Max since Beyond Thunderdome is undeniably the one with the bigger cultural imprint. It's a movie we're not likely to ever see again, not just because of its greatness, but because no one else will be dumb enough to try.
