Jessie T. Usher reprises his role as A-Train, who is seen on the run and trying to protect his family.

“I love that we find him in the only place that really makes sense,” Usher tells Nerd Reactor. “I love that he’s on the run, and it’s fitting for him. When you think about all of the stuff that he’s done up until this point, the only way out for him is to just stay on the move. He can’t really come back and face the mess that he made because it’s larger than him. There’s no way he can come back and tell the world what he did and have them just accept him. There’s no way that he can go back and say to Homelander what he wants to say without getting lasered.

“There’s just all these things. So the only thing that really makes sense is for him to be running. And I love that that’s where we see him. And I love that he hasn’t forgotten that and that the stakes are high, and at this point, where do we go next? With this character, it just feels like this ticking time bomb that’s just waiting to happen. And I love that he just takes control of his life for the first time.”

Susan Heyward portrays Sister Sage, a member of the Seven with superhuman intelligence.

“Things need resolution, stories need resolutions,” Heyward said about the show having a final season. “And as satirical as the show is, as inspired by real-life events as the show is, it is a story. So it does need to end. And kudos to Kripke and the writers for giving us a beginning, a middle, an end, and going out on a high, right? Instead of dragging it out and diluting the power.”

As part of The Seven, Firecracker is there to help out Homelander. Valorie Curry (Detroit: Become Human) is back as the Supes with the power of simple pyrokinetic sparks. However, she does have superhuman strength.

“It tells you that there was an intention behind the storytelling from the beginning,” Curry added. “And if it’s sort of just forever ongoing and open-ended, then to me, it sort of loses that sense of intention. And it’s always had a very strong point of view. And that is probably its greatest asset.”

The Boys Season Five will premiere on April 8, 2026, with two episodes, followed by a new episode each week, with the series finale on May 20, 2026. The season will stream exclusively on Prime Video.

Even though The Boys is ending soon, fans still have the upcoming Gen V Season 3 and the prequel series, Vought Rising.

Matarazzo portrays Jack, a misfit who isn’t afraid to shake the system.

“I like to think that Dustin would academically excel tremendously more than Jack would,” Matarazzo tells Nerd Reactor. “I doubt that was Jack’s primary reasoning for attending college in the first place. So I think that they would have very different goals. I think they’d fare well. I don’t know if Dustin would be willing to jump into an unpredictable drug-fueled nightmare the way that Jack would. So I would trust Dustin in a situation far more than Jack personally.”

Giambrone is Montgomery, the reserved one of the duo.

“I think that Adam would probably call his mom to handle [things],” Giambrone said. “I think that I could almost see Dustin figuring out some way to balance the drug, so it would cancel the effect or something. That’d be a wild duo.”

Lulu Wilson plays Lizzy, who used to be friends with Jack and Montgomery and is trying to be part of the cool kids. She has a horror background with movies and series such as The Haunting of Hill House, Annabelle: Creation, and Ouija: Origin of Evil.

“I do think there’s definitely some utter terror in this movie,” Wilson recalled. “We get pretty scared, so I think it does kind of cross over. But I also think that horror and comedy are very connected, just because of people like Jordan Peele or Zach Cregger. I think it definitely informed the practice that I’ve had. Doing all this horror definitely helped with this movie 100%.”

“He’s this larger-than-life, big ball of energy who comes in and shakes things up,” Marsden tells Nerd Reactor. “But I was excited to work with Olivia because we’ve known each other for a long time. Both went to the same high school in Oklahoma, and we’ve never actually worked together. So that was exciting.

Jon and I have been in a fantasy football league together for a long time. And so I’ve known, I’ve just known him through the business. And so it was like, get to work with people that you know are your pals. So yeah, first day shooting was like, this is gonna be fun. We have a good time with this. And the character for me really allowed me to go there.”

Olivia Munn portrays Samantha Levitt, who tried to frame Cooper in the first season. Life has been hell for her at the start of the season, as she is shunned by her former friends and neighbors, except for Ashe.

“It was really interesting to play someone who was feeling so many conflicting feelings at once,” Munn said. “Not one of them was bigger than the other one. Like she was feeling shame and regret. And she was feeling like she was also justified and feeling like everyone was treating her unfairly. And that a lot of them are hypocrites and they have all done something wrong in their lives. She’s feeling all of those things at once and is determined to make her way back into this social group.

“And then having to feel that embarrassment and sadness and exclusion when none of them can even stomach looking in my direction. And so it was really fun to go from someone who was in such control, even if her life was imploding and she wasn’t always getting what she wanted. She was in control, and she had a game plan. And this time around, she’s got to go with other people’s game plans and be able to be flexible, adjust, and change for the different opportunities that are coming her way.”

About Your Friends and Neighbors Season 2

In season two, Andrew Cooper (Jon Hamm) doubles down on his life as an unlikely suburban thief, until the arrival of a new neighbor threatens to expose his secrets and place his family at risk.

Emmy Award-nominee James Marsden joins the cast, alongside returning stars Hamm, Amanda Peet, Olivia Munn, Hoon Lee, Mark Tallman, Lena Hall, Aimee Carrero, Eunice Bae, Isabel Gravitt and Donovan Colan.

Hailing from Apple Studios, “Your Friends & Neighbors” is created by bestselling author Jonathan Tropper, who serves as showrunner, director and executive producer for Tropper Ink under his overall deal with Apple TV. Hamm executive produces alongside Connie Tavel, Craig Gillespie, Jamie Rosengard, Lori Keith Douglas and Stephanie Laing, who directs six episodes.

Daniel Rojas was the first musician to come on board KPop Demon Hunters and was the architect, along with EJAE.

“[I was] the very first, and I brought in EJAE,” Rojas tells Nerd Reactor. “So EJAE and I worked together with Maggie and Chris for more than three years before anyone else came in. We kind of put it all together as far as like where the songs should go, what the songs should be doing for the story, before different groups of songwriters were called in for different scenes. So it was more, I would say, like the architecture of it all with EJAE.”

600 Songs Were Made for KPop Demon Hunters

The process was very long, and the songwriters worked on 600 songs, only to have 9 songs chosen for the final version of KPop Demon Hunters.

“A lot of these songs had 30 to 40 different versions,” he explained. “By versions, I mean very different, not small revisions, but like whole different tracks or different lyrics, different things. We worked for over five years, and then in the end, it’s only like nine songs. People are like, ‘It took five years to do nine songs?’ I was like, ‘No, it took five years to do 600 songs, out of which the nine that you know.'”

Rojas and EJAE have worked together previously, and he knew that she was perfect for the film.

“I’ve known EJAE for a decade, basically,” the songwriter said. “And I’ve always thought she’s extremely talented, both as a writer and also as a singer. I loved her voice. I’ve used her many times, even just to sing demos and things like that. And especially this being a Korean film, she was born in Seoul, grew up in America, but also goes back there a lot.

“Her family still lives in Korea. It just felt like such a perfect fit. And someone who had been through the K-pop system and had trained at SM Entertainment, I immediately told Maggie, ‘I have the perfect person that we need for this puzzle.’ Because I’m not a K-pop person. I’m not an idol in any way. We were lacking that kind of authentic voice in our team for the music side. The music was so important. So we already had authenticity from Maggie, but we needed a voice in the music department early on that could also guide that light. And I thought EJAE was the perfect match. I made the introduction, brought her in, and we worked together for many years.”

Orange’s Trigun Stargaze, a sequel to Trigun Stampede, premiered on Saturday, March 28, at 7 am PT / 10 am ET. The English dubbed finale premieres Saturday, April 11, at 7 AM PT

Yasuhiro Nightow’s Message

Trigun creator Yasuhiro Nightow had a message for fans of the show:

“TRIGUN STARGAZE has been a grand challenge—to see just how brilliantly, how far, and how powerfully the new generation who embraced my manga would reflect its spirit—is now coming to a close.

From a new perspective, with surprising plot twists, and to depths yet seen before—being able to add a new face to the work known as Trigun has been a joy far beyond anything I could have hoped for.

To the creators, those who supported this, and everyone who walked alongside this journey, I offer my deepest and most heartfelt thanks.

Love & Peace.”

The team also released a hand-drawn visual on Saturday.

The English Voice Actors on Trigun Stampede and Stargaze

Johnny Yong Bosch, known for voicing Ichigo Kurosaki in Bleach and Vash the Stampede in Trigun (1998), is back as Vash in Trigun Stampede and Trigun Stargaze.

“Each of the characters has their own unique perspective on the world and how they come together,” Bosch said. “Vash and his stubbornness of not wanting to kill anyone, and he wants to protect everyone – he won’t stop until they believe in him. I love that about him.”

Sarah Roach (One Piece, Fruits Basket), who voiced the English version of Meryl Strife, is a newcomer in the Trigun anime series. Meryl has been a protégé in Trigun Stampede, and in Stargaze, she is now the mentor.

“It touches on how there are different aspects to humanity,” Roach said. “Humanity is capable of these horrible things, but also we’re seeing all these people come together and try to right those wrongs. I think it really showcases the scope of humanity.”

Milly Thompson is Meryl’s new partner, and she is voiced by Alexis Tipton (My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan).

“There are so many things that are true gray areas, and there’s room for discussion and seeing both sides,” Tipton replied to a question about the series’ theme of environmentalism. “The show really creates opportunities for dialogue on a lot of different concepts.”

Nicholas D. Wolfwood is a traveling priest who carries a giant, cross-shaped weapon. He is voiced by David Matranga (My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, Street Fighter 6).

“There are so many different messages, and they’re huge: family, connection, community, vulnerability, and even just resources and sustainability,” Matranga said. “The impact of one on the other is a very relevant thing.”

Trigun Stampede and Trigun Stargaze are reimagined adaptations of the manga by Yasuhiro Nightow.

Drifter follows Kang as a racetrack janitor who is given a chance to compete at a pro drifting event.

“Drifter has completely redefined me as an artist, and actually as a person,” Kang tells Nerd Reactor. “I don’t think people really listen to me when I say this, or maybe they can’t hear what I’m saying, that the past 31 years as an actor, I felt hopeless. It’s like the worst version of myself wakes up – anxiety-ridden, insecure, and without purpose. Like, ‘Why am I here? To be an actor for what? Why am I doing that,’ right?”

With Kang as the writer and director, he feels like a shepherd and is reinvigorated to work on a project that’s from the heart.

“Every day I wake up with purpose,” the filmmaker said. “The best version of me wakes up to go attack the world and go, ‘I need to share this story, this ethos, this purpose behind this movie,’ right? And I have to be the best version of myself.”

Forza Horizon 6 is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PC via the Microsoft Store and Steam on May 19, 2026. With the sweepstakes, the lucky winner will get to cruise in a JDM car at night, have a drifting masterclass with drift icons, a museum tour, a Tokyo Drift location tour, a walk and snack tour with Sung Kang, go head-to-head with a Sumo, and an exclusive advance screening of Drifter.

“It is beautiful when you get to go to a car meet, and you have people from all over the world, all walks of life, because of one shared passion,” Kang said. “We leave everything else at the door, right? And we become brothers and sisters, uncles and aunties, mentors and mentees. And that’s what [Forza] Horizon 6 is. Their ethos is to build this community throughout the world. And I was like, ‘That’s something that I can campaign for from here.’ It just worked out.”

About Drifter

Synopsis: In a forgotten desert town, a solitary racetrack janitor with a gift for drifting is haunted by his tragic past. Given a single chance to compete at a pro drifting event, he discovers his raw talent is useless without the one thing he’s always avoided: connection with others. Under a hardened mentor, he must learn to trust his found family and transform his untamed, lonely art into a dangerous dance of partnership, or be consumed and controlled by the past he’s desperate to escape.

The film is coming out in 2026.

Nerd Reactor was invited to the Dune: Part 3 trailer event, and director Denis Villeneuve introduced the cast members, including Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Javier Bardem. The cast and director discussed the upcoming film, including exploring new worlds and character motivations.

“I brought the camera to areas of the planet that you guys have not seen before,” Villeneuve said. “And we are visiting new planets as well.”

Zendaya reprises her role as Chani, and in the teaser trailer we see her and Paul Atreides choosing names for their child.

“These movies have meant so much to me over the years,” Zendaya explained. “I’ve literally been able to grow up in my entire 20s doing them, and so they have such a special place in my heart.”

Anya Taylor-Joy is Alia Atreides, Paul’s sister and was teased in Dune: Part 2.

“The one thing that she really feels most strongly about is her love and devotion to her brother,” Taylor-Joy said. “That is the only person who’s ever made her feel like she makes sense. He’s understood her from before she was even born, and she will do anything for him.”

Pattinson will be playing Scytale, who has plans to dethrone Paul.

“I wouldn’t say he’s a conventional bad guy,” Pattinson recalled. “I don’t think he is. He might have been a good guy.” [laughs]

About Dune: Part 3

Directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Villeneuve and Brian K. Vaughan, Dune: Part Three is based on the novel Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert and delivers the epic conclusion to Villeneuve’s trilogy. The film stars Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Jason Momoa, Florence Pugh, Rebecca Ferguson, Isaach De Bankolé, with Charlotte Rampling, with Anya Taylor-Joy, and Robert Pattinson, and Javier Bardem, and features newcomers Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Ida Brooke.

The film will release in theaters on December 18, 2026.

Portraying Sherlock’s older brother, Mycroft Holmes, is Max Irons. There’s a part of Mycroft that’s embarrassed for his brother, but he also tries to take care of him when he gets into trouble.

“Yeah, I think it’s going to be a real treat for people to see the formation of such a unique mind and widely known mind as Sherlock Holmes,” Irons tells Nerd Reactor. “To see the genesis of his particular way of interacting with the world and with information and with mystery. And the audience is going to be thinking and challenged along with Sherlock, along with all of us.”

Zine Tseng portrays a Chinese princess studying at Oxford. Sherlock’s big adventure begins when she crosses paths with him. She is a formidable and strong character in the series.

“It’s very difficult to react to punches than give a punch,” Tseng says of doing action scenes. “And Hero himself is very good as Sherlock because of the physical version of a young Sherlock. And because Hero plays football, he also plays golf, and he’s flexible too. He took all the punches to his cute face [laughs].”

Matthew Parkhill, the executive producer and showrunner, was excited to work with Ritchie on the Prime Video series.

“Guy [Ritchie] is obviously a legendary one-of-a-kind director,” Parkhill said. “He brings that irreverence and that swagger. I think tonally, that energy he gave in those Sherlock movies is very close to the swagger and the energy you’ve got in this. But it’s also an episode that kicks off a show that I think you will not guess where it’s going. I think there are so many reveals, twists, and turns. And, it’s a huge river this show, and you move this way, and you move that way. And I think by the time you get to the end of it, I don’t think you have any idea of the journey it’s going to take you on, in the best possible way, I think.”

About Young Sherlock

Synopsis: From Guy Ritchie, witness the legendary origin story of Sherlock Holmes in this irreverent, action-laden mystery that follows the iconic detective’s early adventures. Sherlock Holmes is a disgraced young man – raw and unfiltered – when he finds himself wrapped up in a murder case that threatens his liberty. His first-ever case unravels a globe-trotting conspiracy, culminating in an explosive showdown that changes his life forever. Unfolding in 1870s Oxford and adventuring abroad, the series will expose the early antics of the anarchic adolescent who is yet to evolve into Baker Street’s most renowned resident.

The cast includes Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Zine Tseng, Dónal Finn, Max Irons, Colin Firth, and Joseph Fiennes.

Executive Producers also include Guy Ritchie, Simon Kelton, Ivan Atkinson, Simon Maxwell, Dhana Gilbert, Colin Wilson, and Marc Resteghini. Harriet Creelman serves as the co-executive producer.

Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek: The Next Generation) and Bill Fagerbakke (SpongeBob SquarePants) have also reacted to the news of the upcoming series.

“Well, I’m hoping for an invitation,” Keith David tells Nerd Reactor. “Because I would love to be there.”

“I would love to play Xanatos,” Frakes said about returning as the main antagonist in the live-action series.

Bill Fagerbakke voiced Broadway, the lovable Gargoyle, and he said, “I would obviously love to be involved.”

SpongeBob SquarePants voice actor Tom Kenny is a fan. “I think Gargoyles was ahead of its time,” said the actor.

There has been no official announcement for the voice cast, but with the original voice actors expressing their love of the franchise, it would be a crime to ignore them. With supernatural creatures like Goliath and Broadway, it’s safe to assume that David and Bill would easily fill in those shoes as the voice. For a live-action Xanatos, Frakes thinks he may be too old to portray the character. Even if that’s the case, the actor being in the series in some capacity would be exciting.

One of the latest updates on the Disney+ Gargoyles series came from Dauberman, who gave an interview to ComicBook.com. The live-action series “will be challenging,” however, the writer/executive producer and showrunner said that he is “talking to some great people. We are still keeping that darkness to it. I’m excited to see the animated [series] come to life.”

Joining the cast is Judy Greer, who starred opposite Garner in 13 Going on 30 as a rival. Fast-forward to today, and the two meet in The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2 under tense circumstances.

“Yes, we play characters on opposite sides of something in this show as well,” Greer tells Nerd Reactor. “Yeah, someday someone will cast us as friends again, but we’ll keep our friendship off set.”

The two actors are friends in real life, and thanks to their chemistry, acting opposite each other wasn’t hard.

“You have fun with someone, and you respect their acting,” she explained. “But also, I respect [Jennifer’s] process, and the same with her. And there are some scenes we did in this season where we just kept staying together all the time. And there are some scenes that, when we weren’t actually being filmed, we had to separate because we needed to maintain some kind of decorum.”

Angourie Rice portrays Bailey, who is now older and is more strong-willed in her search for answers, which leads to her encounter with Quinn, portrayed by Greer.

“I think what’s so interesting about Bailey in season two, but she had this in season one as well, is that she’s looking at all these grown-ups around her and begging them to tell her the truth,” Rice said. “And saying to them like, ‘Please, I can deal with it.’ We have a great scene where Quinn says, ‘You have to be careful because you might not like what you find out. You have to be ready for that.’

“And I think for Bailey, that’s a big question. But she believes that it’s going to be worth it, even if the truth is painful; it’s worth knowing. For Bailey, ignorance is not bliss. And so I think that’s really interesting that she’s got this drive and curiosity. And she doesn’t care if other people don’t want to give her information. She is going to push harder for it.”

The series co-creator, Laura Dave, who wrote the novel the series is based on, is back as an executive producer.

“It’s funny that you use the word reuniting,” Dave replied to my comments about reuniting as a theme for the second season. “Because I had three words above my desk when I was writing the book: salvation, redemption, and forgiveness. And then the fourth word that popped up was reunification. So you just hit on exactly everything I was trying to move toward. I always think of this, and I think of Hannah’s story.

“This is something that we all talked about very early on, as this is a normal woman who finds herself in extraordinary circumstances. Every day, women find themselves, all people, in circumstances they could not have imagined. And when the volume is turned all the way up, you’re going to see what matters most to you. And what matters most to Hannah is her daughter, her family, and there isn’t any length she won’t go to protect them. And I think that’s something we can all relate to. So that’s how I think we merge it, the propulsion with the family, because the two are speaking to each other constantly.”

About The Last Thing He Told Me S2

In season two of The Last Thing He Told Me, when Owen (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) shows up after five years on the run, Hannah (Jennifer Garner) and her stepdaughter Bailey (Angourie Rice) find themselves in a race to figure out how to reunite their family before the past catches up to them.

Based on Laura Dave’s newly released sequel novel “The First Time I Saw Him,” the second season also welcomes new and returning cast members Rita Wilson, Judy Greer, Augusto Aguilera, Josh Hamilton, Nick Hargrove, Michael Galante, John Noble, Michael Hyatt and Luke Kirby.

The Last Thing He Told Me is produced by 20th Television and Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine, a part of Candle Media. Created and adapted by Laura Dave, alongside Academy Award-winning co-creator Josh Singer, The Last Thing He Told Me was the first collaboration between the married Dave and Singer, who both serve as executive producers alongside Garner and Hello Sunshine’s Witherspoon and Neustadter. Emmy Award nominee Aaron Zelman joins season two as co-showrunner and executive producer with Singer. Daisy von Scherler Mayer and Merri D. Howard also serve as executive producers.
