Marvel and Star Wars Releases

Among the most anticipated releases were 'Agatha All Along' and 'Skeleton Crew'. The former, a follow-up to 'WandaVision', follows Agatha Harkness, who is released from a magical spell and recruits a coven of witches to restore her lost powers. 'Skeleton Crew', the latest Star Wars spinoff, is a coming-of-age story featuring four kids lost in a foreign galaxy. Another Star Wars addition was 'The Acolyte', set around 100 years before 'The Phantom Menace', exploring the relationship between identical twins Mae and Osha.

Historical and Real-Life Inspired Shows

'Shōgun' is an immersive historical drama set in 17th-century Japan, revolving around Lord Yoshi Toranaga and Englishman John Blackthorne. 'We Were the Lucky Ones' is a heart-wrenching miniseries based on a book by Georgia Hunter, chronicling her family's struggles during World War II and the Holocaust. The series centers around the Kurcs, a Jewish family living in Poland, who are separated when war breaks out and attempt to reunite.

Continuation of Classic Marvel Series

'Marvel's X-Men 97' is a continuation of the classic 'X-Men: The Animated Series', picking up one year after the events in the 90s-era series. It sees the return of familiar mutants as they face new challenges in the absence of Professor Charles Xavier.

'The Acolyte', set around 100 years before 'The Phantom Menace', explores the relationship between identical twins Mae and Osha, who were separated as children and went on to lead very different lives. Though 'The Acolyte' was canceled after one season, it's still worth watching if you're looking for a new spin on Star Wars.
