Alien: Earth Premiere Alien: Earth is the first live-action series based on the iconic Alien franchise. After six years in development, the series marks a new milestone for the saga created by Ridley Scott in 1979. Set in the year 2120, this production expands the cinematic universe of Alien, bringing the xenomorph threat to our own planet and offering a concept that combines horror, science fiction, and action. Premiere, duration, and distribution Alien: Earth arrives on Disney+ Spain on August 13, 2025, with a double-episode premiere, followed by weekly episodes until a full eight-episode season is completed. Each episode focuses on a narrative development that combines tension, horror, and a futuristic setting. The series can be watched exclusively on Disney+, consolidating its presence on streaming platforms. Synopsis and narrative context The story begins when a mysterious spaceship crashes on Earth, which is currently governed by five powerful corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic, and Threshold. In this corporate era, humans, cyborgs (mixtures of biological and artificial parts), and synthetics (robots with artificial intelligence) coexist.The focus is on Wendy, the first hybrid prototype, an android with human consciousness developed by Prodigy Corporation in the race for immortality. After the crash of the Weyland-Yutani ship in Prodigy City, Wendy and other hybrids face alien life forms much more dangerous than anticipated. The tactical team sent to investigate the accident discovers a biological threat that could change the future of the planet forever. The series within the Alien chronology Alien: Earth acts as a prequel to the classic Alien: The Eighth Passenger, and is set two years before the events of the first film. In addition, it takes place 22 years before the events of Alien: Romulus.This position in the timeline allows exploring a less-explored universe: Earth in the future, in the midst of a corporate and technological era, expanding the saga's mythology and answering questions about government and human coexistence with new life forms. Approximate chronological order of the saga: Alien vs Predator Aliens vs Predator 2 Prometheus Alien: Covenant Alien: Earth Alien: The Eighth Passenger Alien: Romulus Aliens: The Return Alien 3 Alien: Resurrection The creator and the challenge of adapting Alien to television Noah Hawley, creator and showrunner of the series, has emphasized the importance of capturing the essence of the franchise from the first episode.For Hawley, the most vital thing was for viewers to feel authenticity and recognize that the team deeply understands the Alien universe. The transition to television poses a challenge, as it's not just about prolonging the story, but about creating a rich experience in terms of characters and narrative that maintains tension and suspense. Hawley points out that the series seeks to "create the feeling of watching Alien for the first time," introducing new characters and expanding the universe without repeating patterns, all while respecting the original creations of Ridley Scott and H.R. Giger. Alien: Earth conquers with its trailerCreating anticipation The official trailer released months before the premiere has generated great anticipation among fans and critics. The combination of action, horror, and science fiction, along with the imposing arrival of a spaceship on Earth, anticipates an intense and visually impactful season.

Outlander: Blood of My Blood premieres on August 9, 2025 on Movistar Plus+. This standalone prequel tells two love stories separated by time but united by blood, between 18th-century Scotland...
Outlander: Blood of My Blood The first episode of Outlander: Blood of My Blood will premiere on Movistar Plus+ on August 9, 2025, just hours after its release in the US. The series will consist of 10 episodes, broadcast weekly every Saturday. Showrunner Matthew B. Roberts leads this production, alongside Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, and Jim Kohlberg as executive producers. The series is produced by Sony Pictures Television, with the same creative vision as the original series. The cast is headed by Harriet Slater (Ellen MacKenzie), Jamie Roy (Brian Fraser), Hermione Corfield (Julia Moriston), and Jeremy Irvine (Henry Beauchamp), who play the parents of Outlander's protagonists: Jamie and Claire, respectively. A prequel, two love stories, two intertwined eras Outlander: Blood of My Blood is presented as a standalone prequel that expands the saga's universe without requiring prior knowledge. The story begins with two parallel timelines, focusing on two parallel love stories connected by time.On one hand, Jamie Fraser's parents, Ellen MacKenzie and Brian Fraser, star in a love story set in the Scottish Highlands in 1715... They experience their own drama amidst the Jacobite fervor.On the other hand, Claire Beauchamp's parents, Julia Moriston and Henry Beauchamp, live in England, devastated by World War I, and try to maintain their relationship amidst the chaos.However, a temporal accident causes Julia to wake up disoriented in 1715, altering the course of events.As she tries to adapt to her new environment, she begins to directly influence Ellen and Brian's story, unaware that her presence will alter her own daughter's future. The symbolism of blood and violence The title Blood of My Blood evokes not only the deep family bond between generations, but also the sacrifice and violence that runs through history.In a world where war and conflict define destinies, weapons and struggle are an inseparable part of the narrative. Weaponry from two eras The Outlander series stands out for its historical accuracy, and one of its most notable aspects was the representation of weaponry from each era, so the same is expected for this prequel to the series. Since it is partially set in the 18th century, the most common firearms are muskets and pistols, and swords, which are still used both on the battlefield and for self-defense; so it can be expected that this season will include: Muskets: Smoothbore, muzzle-loading firearms that were slow to reload (about 30 seconds per shot), inaccurate, but very powerful. They were commonly used with bayonets and fired spherical lead bullets. Rifles: Rifled barrels offered greater accuracy and range than muskets. They used a smaller caliber and were less common in combination with bayonets. Flintlock pistols: Used a flint mechanism and were muzzle-loaded. They were short-range and slow to reload. Various models existed, such as dueling pistols, pirate pistols, and revolving barrel pistols, often decorated. Swords and bladed weapons: Longswords were common, as were curved sabers, which were preferred by officers. Knives and daggers were also used for both combat and daily tasks. For the period of World War I, weaponry evolved drastically towards more sophisticated and destructive firearms. Among the most prominent that could appear in the series are: Rifles: Such as the Lee-Enfield SMLE Mk III, with an effective range of 550 meters and a capacity of 15 rounds per minute. Bayonets: A type of knife attached to rifles, also used as a close-quarters combat tool. Shotguns: Used primarily in close-range combat, such as in trenches. Grenades: Hand-thrown or launched by catapults, they were lethal in confined spaces or against enemy defenses. Semi-automatic pistols: Used by officers and soldiers in close-quarters engagements, offering speed and ease of use. Light artillery: Included 18-pound field guns and mortars adapted to trench warfare conditions. A science fiction historical romance Outlander: Blood of My Blood is presented as an exciting adventure that mixes love, history, conflict, and time travel. Its war-torn and romantic setting, its characters, and its meticulous historical reconstruction make it one of the big bets for 2025.

Mr. Han trains him with his usual discipline, but soon requests Daniel LaRusso's support to merge kung fu and karate styles. Through this shared teaching, Li will find inner balance and strength to face his fears and his past. The film explores themes such as respect, redemption, cultural migration, and self-improvement, recapturing the humanist spirit that made Karate Kid a contemporary fable. Connection to the Franchise and Cobra Kai Karate Kid: Legends acts as a bridge film linking the classic trilogy, the 2010 reboot, and the Cobra Kai series. It is set three years after the end of the sixth and final season of the series, and although it does not directly follow its plot, it reuses its universe for a new story. Official Trailer The trailer shows key moments of the training between Li Fong, Mr. Han, and Daniel LaRusso, and anticipates an emotional evolution of the protagonist.The scenes highlight the fusion of martial arts styles and generations, combining action with moments of introspection. Production and Curiosities The film was primarily shot in Montreal, Canada, which served to represent both New York and China, demonstrating the production team's adaptability. During filming, Jackie Chan dislocated his shoulder in an action scene, but surprised everyone by resetting it himself and continuing to film without pause, a moment that left the director amazed by his professionalism and resilience. It was directed by Jonathan Entwistle and the screenplay is by Rob Lieber, with music by Dominic Lewis. A Reinterpreted Legacy Karate Kid already existed since the 60s, and is a superhero who appears in the DC Comics universe, as a member of the young Legion of Superheroes, from whom they took the name and the character's Zen values that debuted in the 1984 film, directed by John G. Avildsen, who gave a new meaning to the title, transforming it into a symbol of inner growth with Daniel San (Macchio) and Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) as endearing figures.In Cobra Kai, the adult Daniel is shown to be more rigid, but that evolution adds nuances to the universe without betraying its essence.Karate Kid: Legends functions as an epilogue and renewal, with Li Fong as the spiritual heir to the legacy: a brilliant, shy young man marked by the trauma of having lost his older brother to violence. Karate Kid: Legends does not seek to revolutionize cinema, but to offer an honest, emotional story true to the heart of the franchise.With one eye on the past and the other on the future, it pays homage to its roots and proposes a story of healing, learning, and rediscovery. Because true victory is not in the trophy, but in the personal journey.

Everything you need to know about the long-awaited return Wednesday, the series starring Jenna Ortega, will return in 2025 after the overwhelming impact of its debut. With 252 million views and over a billion hours watched in just three weeks, it has cemented itself as one of the most popular English-language productions in Netflix history. Its combination of dark humor, mystery, and gothic aesthetics, under the direction of Tim Burton, made it a true global phenomenon. The second season will air in two parts: the first will premiere in just a few hours, on August 6, while the second will premiere on September 3. Both will consist of four episodes and will be available exclusively on the platform. The first chapter is titled “Here We Woe Again.” Summary of the first season In the first installment, we met Wednesday Addams, sent to Never Again Academy after an incident with some classmates from her previous school. There, while discovering her psychic abilities, she becomes embroiled in a series of murders linked to a creature known as the Hyde. Over eight episodes, the protagonist investigates the crimes and unmasks Tyler as the monster and Laurel Gates as his controller, in a story that mixes intrigue, supernatural powers and a dark and disturbing family background. The finale left several plot points open: Tyler's escape, the death of Principal Weems, and a disturbing anonymous message on Wednesday's new cell phone. Official synopsis: A new course, new dangers The second season picks up the story of her return to the academy, facing new enemies, supernatural challenges, and secrets buried in the Addams family's history. According to the official Netflix synopsis, the young detective will experience another year of gothic chaos, where danger threatens not only the school but also the outside world. The season promises an emotional evolution for Wednesday, who will have to deal with her personal relationships and discover new nuances in her outlook on life. The trailer has already teased an even more sinister atmosphere, with creatures and mysteries to solve. Cast and new characters Jenna Ortega cements her place as the show's most iconic face. She's joined by Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia), Luis Guzmán (Gomez), Isaac Ordoñez (Pugsley), Fred Armisen (Uncle Fester), George Burcea (Largo), Emma Myers (Enid), Joy Sunday (Bianca), and Moosa Mostafa (Eugene). Percy Hynes White (Xavier) and Naomi J. Ogawa (Yoko) will not be returning. Instead, notable figures include Steve Buscemi (possibly the new director of Never Again), Billie Piper, Thandiwe Newton, Haley Joel Osment, Frances O'Connor, and Lady Gaga, who will make a cameo, according to Variety. The special participation of Christopher Lloyd is also confirmed. Production and filming The second season was filmed in Ireland between May and December 2024. Tim Burton returns as lead producer and maintains the series' signature visual aesthetic. Jenna Ortega, in addition to starring in the series, served as a producer for this season, with greater creative freedom granted by Netflix. According to the actress, this allowed her to "do things on a larger scale and delve deeper into the character's emotional development." Confirmation of the third season Netflix has officially confirmed a third season, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter and confirmed by the platform itself on its social media. Additionally, the possibility of a spin-off centered on new characters from the Wednesday universe is being considered. Ortega has indicated that the creative team is planning up to seven seasons, although they are open to adapting based on the evolution of the plot. According to Tim Burton, finding the ideal actress was key: "If we didn't find the right Wednesday, there was no show." The creators, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, emphasized that she was deeply involved in the scripts, displaying a holistic vision uncommon among actors. A growing cultural phenomenon Wednesday has not only been a success in views, but also in cultural impact. The viral dance to the song Goo Goo Muck on TikTok, the gothic aesthetic adopted by thousands of fans, and the revitalization songs like Lady Gaga's Bloody Mary are proof of the series' reach. Its protagonist, with sarcasm, intelligence, and magnetism, has connected with a new generation that eagerly awaits each installment. Are you already counting down the days until the new season? Does it look promising? If, on the other hand, you haven't seen the first one yet, I recommend you rush to do so. You can find this figure of Wednesday playing the Cello and much more in our Store .

It boasts excellent production design, with every visual detail—huts, temples, costumes, handcrafted weapons—recreated with an almost museum-like ethnographic approach.Textures, materials, and natural sensations are perceived as authentic, making the viewer experience the story almost physically: the heat, the humidity, the ritualism of the environment, and the symbolism of the landscape.

The platform offers playback of previous episodes and reruns, including the first two already available since the premiere, and will consist of a total of nine episodes of almost an hour each.

Soundtrack of The Great Warrior Composed by Hans Zimmer and James Everingham, the music integrates with natural sounds and ancestral drums to create an immersive atmosphere that transcends the visual. It functions as a cultural and emotional language, revealing tension, spirituality, and ancestral memory in each scene. Momoa's Confessions Jason Momoa stated: "I have put my very soul into the responsibility that this project entails."
