Fargo: Season 5
Renewed for its fifth season Fargo Season 5 has always struck that perfect balance of drama and comedy on the tip of a knife. Small town murders abound in the snowy town of Fargo, North Dakota, this time starring Juno Temple (Ted Lasso), Jon Hamm (Mad Men), and Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight). This season takes a far more comedic edge than previous seasons, and we’re here for it.

Dune: Part Two
The initial pull of Dune: Part Two lands somewhere between the incredible cinematography of Denis Villeneuve and the burgeoning relationship between Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet’s characters. But the beating heart of mystery that ties it all together is the web woven by the shadowy Bene Gesseri, a matriarchy that has tirelessly pulled the strings of the empire for generations behind the scenes. In Part Two, we are introduced to Lea Seydoux’s character Lady Margot Fenring. In the books her role is miniscule, but in the film, her part has been expanded. Villeneuve is cagey about talking more about her in the lead-up to the film. But he did tell Empire, “My version of Dune is different because the thing that really seduced me about the book was the Bene Gesserit. My adaptation is more oriented toward their impact – they are the puppet masters of the universe!”
We can’t wait!
