Magic ’s first Universes Beyond set of 2027, Darkhold Destiny , looks to finally bridge that gap by uniting the best of both worlds in what feels like the most ambitious UB set yet. Polygon spoke to the Darkhold Destiny team ahead of the set's big reveal at New York Comic Con 2026 to get a behind-the-scenes look. Here’s what we learned and why it has us so excited for Marvel’s third crossover set. source https://www.polygon.com/mtg-darkhold-destinies-spoilers-marvel-universes-beyond/

The Adult Swim series was also a redemption of sorts for co-creator Joe Bennett, after his previous project, Scavengers Reign , was canceled by HBO Max, offloaded to Netflix, and then shelved again. So it comes as a relief that Bennett's Common Side Effects , which he co-created with Steve Hely ( Veep ), is getting a second season. source https://www.polygon.com/common-side-effects-season-2-release-date-creators-interview/

Avatar: Seven Havens joins a rich legacy of post-apocalyptic fantasy , where heroes of a fallen age must band together to face a rising threat. In The Lord of the Rings , The Wheel of Time, and The Stormlight Archive, the glorious past and the circumstances that led to ruin have been largely relegated to myth. Seven Havens takes a similar tack, but with a clever twist: Avatar fans already know what this world used to be like, but not how things got so bad. source https://www.polygon.com/avatar-seven-havens-review/

Countless American adaptations of British TV classics have fallen woefully short of the source material. Either the dry British humor simply doesn’t translate well — which is why the U.S. version of Gavin & Stacey was far too cringe-worthy to enjoy — or it feels so similar there’s no real reason to adapt it in the first place. source https://www.polygon.com/ghosts-cbs-free-streaming-pluto-tv-october-2026/

Despite its overwhelming commercial success, Freida McFadden’s psychological thriller, The Housemaid , is far from a perfect read. Trope-heavy and full of obvious contrivances, The Housemaid sets up a tense domestic thriller premise that is meant to be consumed as a fast-paced popcorn novel. This, however, sets the stage for a pulpy screen adaptation, one that mimics the conventions of a lurid thriller with some decent character writing to round things out. source https://www.polygon.com/sydney-sweeney-erotic-thriller-hbo-max/

Phantom Blade Zero looks to carve out its own space among sword-slashing action games. It blends simple controls and intense parries with stylish wuxia animations to create one of the most anticipated non- GTA 6 games of the fall release calendar. I recently got to play around four hours of Phantom Blade Zero on Windows PC at a preview event hosted by developer S-Game in Beijing, China, and experienced the game’s unique take on melee action. source https://www.polygon.com/phantom-blade-zero-hands-on-gameplay-preview/
