A vague description, yet speaks so many volumes as to what we have to look forward to in the next season.

The upcoming movie will show a different side to the emperor that many aren’t yet familiar with.
Paramount+ is set to begin production soon on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. The show will follow a new class of Starfleet cadets, as they mature and flourish in one of the most legendary places in the galaxy.

We are also fortunate to receive a third season ofStar Trek: Strange New Worlds. A sneak peek from Paramount+ at Comic-con gives us homebodies a little insight into what to expect in this coming season. The clip shows Captain Kirk and his legendary ensemble taking serum to turn into Vulcans for a special mission. Let’s not forget the hilarity of it all, considering they’re all now Spock?

Season two ofThe Lord of the Rings:The Rings of Poweris set to premiere in just a few weeks on August 29th, 2024. The new season promises use of the rings, war and big creatures to cross your TV screen. A quote from the trailer teases a bit of the bloodshed and drama that’s yet to come; “An evil, ancient and powerful has returned”. As a fan of this franchise, I am aware of the consequences of wearing/using the rings. Galadriel, on the other hand, seems to think the weight of using the rings is worth it in the upcoming battles—stay tuned for the upcoming season to find out what happens!
