News The Legend of Vox Machina There Will Be Ducks in The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4 Trailer Don’t f— a duck By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on April 23, 2026 Screenshot: Prime Video Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Prime Video The fourth season of The Legend of Vox Machina is almost upon us, and Prime Video released a trailer today to give us a tease of what’s in store for our favorite ragtag heroes. The upcoming episodes take place a year after season three’s Chroma Conclave. The group has separated, searching for their respective needs and wants. Luckily for us (and perhaps unluckily for them), however, a long-slumbering evil has awoken and threatens the entire realm. The gang must get back together to vanquish it. We perhaps see some of that foe in today’s trailer. At the very least, it’s clear the crew is facing a lot of challenges given by the amount of swearing going on. We also see a little bit more of the new character (new to the animated series, at least) Taryon Darrington, voiced by Wayne Brady. The trailer ends, in fact, with these words spoken to Taryon: “In the span of 24 hours, you’ve caused unfathomable amounts of property damage and confronted a lifetime of internalized parental issues. Welcome to Vox Machina.” We’ll be able to welcome Taryon ourselves when the first three episodes of season four premiere on Prime Video on June 3, 2026, with three new episodes dropping each consecutive week after that. Brady joins show stars Laura Bailey (The Last of Us: Part II), Taliesin Jaffe (World of Warcraft), Ashley Johnson (The Last of Us), Matthew Mercer (Baldur’s Gate 3), Liam O’Brien (Marvel’s Avengers), Marisha Ray (Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft), Sam Riegel (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), and Travis Willingham (Dispatch). In addition to Brady, the cast for season four also features Kevin Michael Richardson (Lilo & Stitch), Debra Wilson (Star Wars: Survivor), and Tom Cardy. Check out today’s trailer for season four of The Legend of Vox Machina below. [end-mark] The post There Will Be Ducks in <i>The Legend of Vox Machina</i> Season 4 Trailer appeared first on Reactor.

News Battlestar Galactica Battlestar Galactica Is Finally Back on Streaming! It will even have its own dedicated channel, giving us BSG all day, every day! By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on April 23, 2026 Courtesy of NBCUniversal Comment 0 Share New Share Courtesy of NBCUniversal It’s been a minute (a minute too long), but we’ll once again be able to stream the entirety of Battlestar Galactica, including Caprica! Starting on May 1, Battlestar Galactica: The Miniseries, seasons one through four of Battlestar Galactica, Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, and the prequel spinoff Caprica will all be available on Paramount+. (Caprica, ironically, is currently available on Peacock, if you wanted to catch the prequel this week before BSG proper starts streaming.) All those shows, with the exception to Caprica will also be on Pluto TV. (Caprica, it seems, will continue to get short shrift. Is it a perfect show? Absolutely not! But even though I haven’t watched it since it was on air, that single season has stuck with me in a disturbing way. I imagine watching in now, given the AI of it all, will cause it to hit differently, and that alone might make it worth a rewatch.) But wait, there’s more: Want to watch some BSG but don’t want to figure out which episode to revisit? Don’t worry, Pluto has got you: There will be a dedicated channel on the platform that plays these BSG titles all day, every day. One thing that seems to be missing from this deal is Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome, the web series that was meant to be the pilot for a prequel spinoff centered on a young William Adama. It didn’t get picked up for series and it wasn’t included in this Paramount+/Pluto TV deal… and if you’ve seen it, you might agree that that’s okay—there’s lots of other BSG available for us to watch. Get ready to start streaming! So say we all.[end-mark] The post <i>Battlestar Galactica</i> Is Finally Back on Streaming! appeared first on Reactor.

News Star City Everybody’s Paranoid in the Trailer for For All Mankind Spinoff Star City I don’t think you can actually know what someone is thinking before they think it, but okay. By Molly Templeton | Published on April 23, 2026 Image: Apple TV Comment 0 Share New Share Image: Apple TV The basic premise of the alternate history series For All Mankind is that the Soviet Union beat the U.S. to the moon, and the subsequent space race just kept racing. But as the trailer for the spinoff series Star City makes clear, that didn’t exactly lead to a nice, relaxing time for said Russians. Somewhere in Star City, there’s a traitor. And Lyudmilla (Anna Maxwell Martin) is going to root them out, one way or the other. Apple TV’s synopsis keeps its cards close to its chest: Star City is a propulsive, paranoid thriller that takes us back to the key moment in the alt-history retelling of the space race — when the Soviet Union became the first nation to put a man on the moon. But this time, we explore the story from behind the Iron Curtain, showing the lives of the cosmonauts, the engineers and the intelligence officers embedded among them in the Soviet space program, and the risks they all took to propel humankind forward. Rhys Ifans (House of the Dragon) stars as what seems like the one man more interested in keeping their cosmonauts safe than punishing whoever might be leaking trade secrets. The rest of the cast includes Agnes O’Casey (Black Doves), Alice Englert (Dangerous Liaisons), Solly McLeod (House of the Dragon), Adam Nagaitis (The Agency), Ruby Ashbourne Serkis (Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man), Josef Davies (Andor), and Priya Kansara (Polite Society). Showrunners Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi have said that Star City will be notably different from their previous show (which they also created alongside Ronald D. Moore); for one thing, it won’t have time jumps. Star City premieres with two episodes on Friday, May 29—the same day as For All Mankind’s fifth season finale. For All Mankind has already been renewed for a sixth and final season, but it’s unknown whether Star City will continue.[end-mark] The post Everybody’s Paranoid in the Trailer for <i>For All Mankind</i> Spinoff <i>Star City</i> appeared first on Reactor.

News epic With the Animated Epic, More Than One Version of the Odyssey Is Headed to Movie Theaters Face that launched a thousand ships? Nah, tale that launched a billion views. By Molly Templeton | Published on April 23, 2026 Screenshot: Epic Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Epic Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is coming, whether you like the helmets or not. But there is another. The Hollywood Reporter has the news that Epic, the viral hit created by Jorge Rivera-Herrans in his dorm room, is headed to big screens courtesy of producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Atlantic Records. Rivera-Herrans’ Epic is a nine-part musical version of Homer’s classic tale, released between 2022 and 2024. It began life as his senior thesis; he posted about the process on TikTok, then began releasing the “sagas” as musicals. (Casting also took place on TikTok.) THR says, “The self-released EPs began hitting the no. 1 spot on iTunes and then no. 1 on the soundtrack charts, where at one point Epic occupied nine out of the top 10 listings.” At one point, The Guardian noted, Epic nudged Taylor Swift out of the top spot on iTunes. The project has literal billions of streams and views. According to THR, “The serialized music format, re-envisioning the classic tale of the war hero’s gods and monsters-filled decades-long journey home to his wife and son through a modern, immersive lens, struck a chord with millennials and Gen Zers, who fell for the influences of musicals, anime and video games. They even got to participate in the worldwide casting process. Fans also created animatics to go with the songs, showcasing a range of styles and genres.” And now it’s evolving into a new form. Epic, the movie, will be animated, and that’s about all that there is to know about it at this point. No director or animation studio has been announced. The project is in “nascent stages,” but with Bruckheimer on board and a huge existing fanbase, it’ll probably begin its next epic journey soon.[end-mark] The post With the Animated <i>Epic</i>, More Than One Version of the <i>Odyssey</i> Is Headed to Movie Theaters appeared first on Reactor.

Movies & TV The Terror: Devil in Silver Victor LaValle, Christopher Cantwell & Karyn Kusama Break Down Devil in Silver’s Opening Scene The co-showrunners and director spoke with Reactor about the upcoming series. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on April 22, 2026 Photo Credit: Emily V. Aragones/AMC Comment 0 Share New Share Photo Credit: Emily V. Aragones/AMC AMC+/Shudder’s The Terror: Devil in Silver is set to premiere in early May, and the streamer released the show’s cold open to let us know what’s in store for us. As luck would have it, I also interviewed co-showrunners Victor LaValle (The Changeling), Christopher Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire, Paper Girls), and director Karyn Kusama (Jennifer’s Body, Yellowjackets) about this very scene. You can check out the five-minute sequence yourself at the end of this post, but here’s a quick rundown: In it, we see the inside of New Hyde mental institution, where three staff members find one of the patients lying in bed in rigor mortis, clearly dead by violent means. Josephine, the nurse who found the body is freaking out, while the orderly Scotch Tape (Hampton Fluker) and Miss Chris (CCH Pounder) have to break the body’s stiffened arms and legs to get it out of the room. LaValle, who is also the author of the eponymous novel the show is based on, found inspiration for that specific moment from real life. “I remember reading a story after Hurricane Katrina about this old folks’ home in Far Rockaway, where a lot of the elderly patients were just essentially left there to die. And there was one body that had died in rigor mortis in a way that they couldn’t get it out of the room. And then I was like, ‘Huh, let’s take that…’ I just thought you couldn’t think of a better way to say something is wrong—not with these people, but with this whole system.” Cantwell and Kusama also shared their thoughts about the opening, including how it sets up the season centered on Dan Stevens’ character, Pepper. Screenshot: AMC+/Shudder “I don’t know how the hell she’s able to pull this off” “There had been debate about how much are we meant to learn about New Hyde before we introduce Pepper,” Kusama said. Ultimately, however, the creative team started with the staff at the institution because, as Kusama explained, it conveys that “haunting was there before, it will be there when Pepper arrives, and it would last even if Pepper were to leave—there is an eternal damage that has been embedded into that place.” The final minute of the sequence, where Scotch Tape and Miss Chris are in the hallway moving the dead, broken body, not only reveals how numb the staff are, but the setup for the series: What if, as Scotch Tape asks Miss Chris, the dead man didn’t kill himself? Pounder’s silent response as Miss Chris is perfection—a slight stutter followed by a look that says they have a job to do, and it was time to get on with it. “When we shot [this moment], I just was like, this is horrifying,” said Kusama. “But I’m also laughing at the ability that we all can just look past the horror right in front of us. It’s quite interesting how quickly we all understood that, emotionally.” Cantwell also praised Pounder’s performance. “I don’t know how the hell she’s able to pull this off—she’s so incredible in what she does—but she’s able to hitch for a moment and then go, ‘Man we got a job to do.’ Which is why they’re stuck there. They all have their reasons—this is my job, I have to clock in every day, and I have to endure the horrors that happen all around me, which feels very relevant to 2026… she nailed it, I think, in that teaser.” Devil in Silver premieres on May 7, 2026, on AMC+ and Shudder.
