The Boys

Eric Kripke’s scabrous superhero show will be bowing out with its imminent fifth season. We speak to the showrunner about what we can expect (along with stars Colby Minifie and Jessie T Usher), for a 10-page feature.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy

Back in 2023, Lee Cronin revived the Evil Dead franchise. Now he’s updated a rather more senior property, The Mummy – by ignoring the canon of the 1932 Universal classic and taking a domestic approach. We visit the Dublin set of the film and speak to the writer/director, as well as producer Michael Clear.

Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord

That fella with the double-ended lightsaber just won’t stay down, will he? Mixing CG animation with more traditional techniques, the latest Star Wars animated series follows Darth Maul’s shady underworld dealings on Janix, a planet where crime syndicates tussle for control. We speak to four of the creative team.

Blake’s 7

Over 46 years after Blake, Avon, Tarrant and Soolin were all gunned down (probably...), could a new Liberator crew be set to take the fight to the Federation? That’s certainly what Peter Hoar and Matthew Bouch are hoping... We meet the duo plotting to revive the series, and try to get a sense of what their take on Blake’s 7 might be like.

Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen

... but what exactly? We’re still not much the wiser to be honest, but all the same we had an interesting chat with Haley Z Boston, creator of the new Netflix horror show that’s the latest output of the Duffer Brothers’ production company.

Fallout

With season two of the videogame adaptation now in the rear view mirror, we delve deep into the making of the series by speaking to the likes of executive producer Jonathan Nolan and showrunner Geneva Robertson-Dworet.

And that’s not all, feature-wise. We also chat to Richard Morgan about his first novel in over seven years, and get Patrick Ness to fill out our author questionnaire.
