The sci-fi thriller series Beacon 23 has taken a bumpy road out into the world. The show was first set up at Spectrum, then it moved over to AMC, and it has finally ended up at MGM+, which was formerly known as Epix. But it’s just about ready to have its premiere now. Beacon 23 will begin airing on MGM+ with a two episode premiere on Sunday, November 12th – and with that date just a month away, a trailer has arrived online. You can check it out in the embed above.
Based on Hugh Howey’s novel of the same name, Beacon 23 is set to run for eight episodes.

"This spirit - she is determined, very powerful, rage surrounding her." Vertical Entertainment has unveiled an official trailer for an indie horror thriller titled Isabelle, which premiered at the Busan Film Festival last year. Isabelle is the latest horror from Canadian filmmaker Rob Heydon, and is hitting VOD + a few theaters in late May.

Adam Brody (The O.C.) stars as Matt Kane, a successful, middle-class lawyer who moves into a spacious new house with his heavily pregnant wife Larissa (Silicon Valley‘s Amanda Crew). However, after meeting her creepy neighbour Ann (Sheila McCarthy), Larissa collapses and is rushed to hospital, where she loses the baby and spends a minute clinically dead while on the operating table.
When she returns home, Larissa begins seeing and hearing things in the house, including the sound of her baby crying. As Matt becomes increasingly concerned for his wife’s well-being, they become suspicious...
