Throughout the five episodes of Brigands: The Quest for Gold, we’ve learned that the real goal isn’t just about the gold itself, but the freedom of Southern Italy.

Then there’s Michelina, another leader from the Guerra group. According to prophecy, she’s the one destined to save the South. And let’s not forget Sparrowhawk, the notorious bounty hunter, and Filomena’s love interest. Together, these unlikely allies have formed a strong alliance to reclaim the stolen gold and free...

Bandidos was the last Netflix Mexico original that dealt with a group of people on the hunt to find ancient gold from an obscure place after laboriously going through many obstacles based on an ancient map. Heist shows are the current rage and also a genre that is being overused. The new Netflix Italian show Brigands: The Quest for Gold is a historical drama that talks about a band of thieves from centuries ago looking for gold whose existence was supposed to be a myth. The miniseries was released on April 23, 2024, on the streaming platform.

Fans of Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal are incredibly excited for the upcoming prequel series coming to Netflix called The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. The first trailer that was released for show was absolutely stunning!
Well, we’ve now learned that Boom! Studios is creating a 12-issue comic book series called Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and it will be a prequel that explores the world of Thra before the events of the story told in the Netflix series. So it will go back even farther!
I love that the history of the world of The Dark Crystal is being explored in-depth like this! Here’s the official synopsis, along with two covers for the first issue:
Return to another world, another time, Before the Age of Wonder. The Skeksis rein over Thra, but there are distant echoes of rebellion. Gelfling and unlikely heroes...

"This is not a drill." Universal has debuted the first official trailer for horror sequel The Purge: Election Year, which is essentially The Purge 3 following The Purge: Anarchy in 2014. The plot this time involves Frank Grillo returning as the head of security protecting Senator Charlie Roan, played by Elizabeth Mitchell, who encounters more than he bargained for when the annual purge event brings out the crazies. The "Election Year" angle is quite bold. The full cast from this one includes Raymond J. Barry, Ethan Phillips, Sparrowhawk, Edwin Hodge and many others. This latest Purge entry looks about as dark and violent and crazy as the last two, so if you've enjoyed the others this will be more of the same. Have at it. Here's the first trailer for James DeMonaco's The Purge: Election Year, direct from Uni's YouTube: It’s been two years since Leo Barnes (Frank Grillo...
