MobLand season 2 hit Paramount+ on September 18, 2026, and episode 3 sets up a tense first meeting in London between drug lord Frankie Cooper and Kevin Harrigan, with Harry Da Souza, played by Tom Hardy, in the room for it.

Johnny Flynn, who plays Frankie Cooper, says that sit-down is only the start. The clashes that follow get darker, more dangerous, and more psychological, and the scene also starts to lay out who Frankie Cooper is, what he wants, and how he means to place himself against the Harrigans.

And Frankie does arrive as the big new threat in season 2. Flynn sees that long speech as a tactic: Frankie is trying to throw the room off balance, study how everyone reacts, and pick up leverage as he goes. Harry Da Souza is the only one who really sees what he’s doing, which could make their later scenes some of the sharpest strategic battles in the show.

If you’re watching MobLand, keep an eye on that thread. The September 18, 2026 return of Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren, and Pierce Brosnan has, according to reports, pushed the series to number two on Paramount+ globally, helped secure a season 3 renewal, and pulled attention away from the May 2026 rumors that Hardy had been fired, rumors that were later denied.

Marvel just released Marvel Dimensions, and one of its wildest touches is a new Johnny Blaze design for the morally inverted In-Verse: Ghost Rider with a halo where the skull should be.

Disney+ Download

The flaming bike is still there. But this version swaps Ghost Rider’s skull for a blazing halo, gives the black suit something close to a clerical collar, and has fans already calling him “Host Rider.” The whole look also brings back memories of Johnny Blaze’s 2018 King of Hell turn in Doctor Strange: Damnation.

If you follow Ghost Rider, Marvel Dimensions is an easy one to pick up. The bigger shift, though, came in Marvel Comics’ March 2024 series Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance. That’s where Parker Robbins, better known as The Hood, takes the Spirit of Vengeance from Johnny Blaze and ends up with a flaming skull, a red demonic cloak, shoulder spikes, and a hellfire gun, all for Benjamin Percy’s crime-horror story about what happens when power loses any moral compass.

There’s movement on the MCU side too. Ryan Gosling is confirmed as Johnny Blaze in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Shawn Levy is attached to a 2028 solo film, Secret Wars in 2027 is the likely place for him to show up first, and the mantle has already passed through Danny Ketch, Robbie Reyes, Kushala, and Ghostlocke.

You can read Marvel Dimensions and Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance through Marvel Comics’ current lineup, with Johnny Blaze still right at the center of it, whether he’s got a skull, a halo, or no power at all.

HBO’s Lanterns has wrapped its first season, and the finale takes a sharp turn with John Stewart. Rather than tying his rise to the Green Lantern Corps’ usual willpower-based tradition, it rewrites both his origin and the source of his power by having John lean into fear.

HBO Max Download

By the end, he doesn’t join the Corps the standard way. He accepts a charge from Sinestro’s newly forged lantern, recites a new oath built around fear, and gets an origin rewrite that says his parents had been conditioning him for this role since childhood.

Sinestro pushes the idea even further, arguing that the Green Lantern Corps has misunderstood fear all along. At the same time, the yellow streaks in his lantern, along with the Halogram’s warning, point to a dangerous kind of power that clearly isn’t sanctioned.

The finale also drops clear references to Parallax and the Sinestro Corps, then leaves even more mystery around the Guardians, the Manhunters, and Zoe surviving the shutdown. That last thread especially makes it feel like something else is already moving, and it’s already slipping past their control.

Aaron Pierre’s John Stewart is already set to appear in the DCU film Man of Tomorrow, so the changes here look like they reach past this series alone. HBO still hasn’t officially renewed season 2, but reports say Lanterns is averaging about 19 million weekly viewers worldwide, with early work on another season already underway.

If you follow Green Lantern lore, this finale has a lot riding on it. It redefines John Stewart through fear rather than pure will. The Lanterns finale is available now on HBO.

No, The Expanse hasn’t suddenly landed a newly announced 2027 TV prequel, even if some headlines are pushing the line that the series is “officially returning” with an epic six-part run. The mix-up seems to come from elsewhere. The franchise is still growing, just through games, comics, and books. That “six-part prequel” is The Expanse: A Telltale Series, which came out in 2023 as a Camina Drummer prequel. Its six parts are the five main episodes, plus a bonus episode. The thing that appears to have set off the confusion is a new Limited Run Games physical edition for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5, priced at about £40 and listed with a shipping window from January 1 to March 31, 2027, according to the Limited Run Games store listing.

The real new 2027 release is The Expanse: Osiris Reborn from Owlcat Games. It’s a story-driven third-person action RPG scheduled for Q2 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, with day-one Xbox Game Pass support, according to Owlcat Games. The game is set between seasons 1 and 2 and follows a Pinkwater Security mercenary on Eros, again according to Owlcat Games. Reception around the franchise’s recent game projects hasn’t all looked the same, either. The Expanse: A Telltale Series was generally well received. Early beta reaction to The Expanse: Osiris Reborn has been more mixed.

If you follow The Expanse closely, this is the kind of correction you’ll want in the right place, especially with a post-season 6 comic omnibus due in December 2026, The Complete Visual History due in August 2027, and James S.A. Corey still continuing The Captive’s War.

So if you’re tracking what’s next, you can play The Expanse: A Telltale Series now, pre-order the physical edition through Limited Run Games, and keep an eye out for The Expanse: Osiris Reborn on PC and consoles in 2027.

Stephen King’s Revival has officially lost its Warner Bros. movie adaptation, which puts the focus back on how much screen potential his 2014 novel still has. The book remains one of King’s most disturbing, Lovecraft-leaning stories, packed with forbidden knowledge, spiritual collapse, and a vision of life after death that’s genuinely horrible to sit with. Reports say the adaptation stalled even with Mike Flanagan involved, partly because of budget concerns and partly because the ending is just that bleak.

Netflix Download

If Revival is ever going to work on screen, an eight-to-ten-episode limited series feels like the best fit. This story stretches across decades, and the relationship between Charles Jacobs and Jamie Morton needs space: Jacobs in his early, charismatic years, Jacobs after his crisis of faith, Jamie’s addiction and recovery, and the creeping dread of science pushing open a door that should never be touched.

And if you’ve followed Mike Flanagan’s Stephen King work, the case for that format gets even stronger. Gerald’s Game, Doctor Sleep, Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House, and The Midnight Club all make it clear that Flanagan knows how to handle grief, religion, addiction, mortality, emotional intimacy, and cosmic despair without losing any of the human weight.

For now, Revival is still only available as a novel, but streaming feels like the right home for it, especially if interest in The Mist and Prime Video’s 2026 UK-produced Crouch End adaptation keeps pushing Stephen King’s cosmic horror further forward.
