If you've never heard of the series Utopia, you're not the only one. The Amazon Original series has largely gone unnoticed in entertainment circles, and that's perhaps why the company has decided to cancel the show after a single season. Though this science fiction show won't return, fans of the genre will get something special from Amazon next month.
Hulu, one of the cheapest streaming services on the market, has launched a new Black Friday deal for people who have never subscribed to the service.

I was shocked, pleased, excited, then flabbergasted watching the latest episode of The Mandalorian. This episode took what we'd guessed about the near-future of the series and the inclusion of certain actors playing some BIG NAME roles, and shook it all up. Before you go any further, note that this is your first and last SPOILER ALERT. Do not read this article until you've seen The Mandalorian Chapter 13, AKA The Mandalorian Season 2, Episode 5!

Hit science fiction TV show The Expanse, now an Amazon Original, has been renewed by the company for a sixth season. This is good news for fans, but ultimately bittersweet: season six will be the show's final season, marking an end to one of the best sci-fi series in the recent past.

The Predator universe is about to get another installment in the form of a fifth movie, giving fans another glimpse into the world that first hit theaters in the '80s. The movie will come from 20th Century Studios with Dan Trachtenberg tapped to direct the flick -- and, based on a new leak, it will bring something new to the table.
The movie industry is still reeling from the pandemic and movie theater closures, leaving studios in limbo as they repeatedly bump premieres and, in some cases, move them to digital platforms. Disney is one such studio that has seen its premieres disrupted, and a new leak claims a few of its big upcoming live-action movies may go straight to streaming as a result.
Months after HBO first teased fans with a tweet, the company has officially ordered a series based on hit video game The Last of Us.
