Thatâs a powerhouse lineup, but Huluâs Paradise is also a very welcome addition to the streaming-verse. For superhero fans, Disney+ has an all-new animated incarnation of a Marvel icon in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Max, Disney+, Paramount+, Peacock, and Apple TV+ all have one thing in common: Theyâre more expensive than they used to be. We can live with higher rates as long as new shows keep coming, but itâs always a good idea to consider signing up for the ad-supported tiers, which are worth it if you can sit through a few commercials.Â

However, it was subsequently re-envisioned as an MCU-adjacent timeline, with some significant changes to the lore.
In this timeline, Peter Parker (Hudson Thames) gets his Spider-Man powers under very different circumstances. And instead of Iron Man mentoring him, heâs got Norman Osborn (Coleman Domingo), the man destined to become his greatest enemy: Green Goblin. For now, Peterâs just trying to navigate his freshman year in high school as a parade of Spider-Man villains, new and old, emerge to challenge him.

Even Richter Belmont (Edward Bluemel) â of the legendary vampire-hunting Belmont family â canât do much to stop BĂĄthoryâs advance. At least not by himself.
Draculaâs son, Alucard (Jamie Callis), has offered to help Richer and his friends in their battle against BĂĄthory. But this war may take more than just power and strength to win, especially since one of their own, Tera Renard (Nastassja Kinski), has been turned into a vampire.

Watch on maxIs The Pitt an ER ripoff? Thatâs for the courts to decide! However, ER veteran Noah Wyle is headlining The Pitt, so you may feel some dĂ©jĂ vu when seeing the actor back in scrubs.
The first season of this series takes a page from 24 by unfolding in real time across a single 15-hour shift at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital. Dr. Michael âRobbyâ Rabinavitch (Wyle) was already tested by his experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, and now heâll be pushed to his limits yet again alongside a medical staff facing their own personal drama as well.
PeacockBlair Marnell has been an entertainment journalist for over 15 years. His bylines have appeared in Wizard Magazine, Geek Monthly, SYFY Wire, Superhero Hype, Collider, DC Universe, and the official sites for Star Trek and Marvel. He also lends his pop culture expertise to Digital Trends on a variety of TV, movie, and streaming features.
Jason Struss joined Digital Trends in 2022 and has never lived to regret it. He is the current Section Editor of the Entertainment vertical and heads a team of over a dozen writers, editors, coordinators, and assorted hangers-on. When heâs not busy editing and writing, you can find him tending to his meticulously planned content schedule or dreaming up new ways to get more eyeballs to the site.
Jasonâs love for cinema started when he was 10 years old. Saddled with a nasty cold, he was forced to stay home from school for a full week. To pass the time, he watched a marathon of classic Alfred Hitchcock films on Cinemax and the rest is history. He furthered his film education by raiding used bookstores to read dusty old film criticism volumes and salacious movie star biographies. His real education included studying at Whitman College and then Syracuse University, where he won a student Emmy for producing a truly terrible television series.
His career began at Marvel Entertainment, where he worked in the Digital Products department, and then DC Comics, where he worked in publishing and content strategy. He then worked at Warner Bros. and Screen Rant.
Jason currently resides in Seattle but has yet to appear in a Cameron Crowe movie. He loves hot coffee with cream and sugar, video games, bread, napping, and movies (duh), but not necessarily in that order. His favorite movies are The Thing, All About Eve, The Ice Storm, Rear Window, Heat, The Cranes are Flying, Belle de Jour, Showgirls, and Clue. He thinks Mad Men is genius, still watches Seinfeld twice a week, and likes listening to shoegaze music, podcasts, and Lana Del Rey. If you see him on the street, please, for the love of God, do not engage in conversation with him.
