"You were meant to come here... So was I." MGM+ has unveiled the full trailer for an intriguing sci-fi series called Beacon 23, set to launch in November. Beacon 23 was originally developed as a Spectrum Original series as part of an effort to entice cable subscribers, but this division was shut down and projects were sold off.

They find their fates entangled after becoming trapped inside one of many Beacons that serve as a lighthouse for intergalactic travellers.

Nancy Drew (Kennedy McMann) is back on the case…but is the CW drama moving full steam ahead with her love life and one of the Drew Crew? TV Insider’s exclusive first look at the Nancy Drew Season 3 trailer suggests yes, with a side of “something else has to be going on.” When the new episodes pick up, a week has passed since the Season 2 finale, in which Nancy’s mystical relative Temperance Hudson (Bo Martynowska) returned to Horseshoe Bay with a dark agenda. So much for Nancy’s plans to head to college. Not only must she deal with the escalating supernatural threat, but there’s also a series of grisly murders to investigate — and the clock is ticking. The other members of the Drew Crew have their own problems. Ned “Nick” Nickerson (Tunji Kasim) and George Fan (Leah Lewis) have to deal with her shortened lifespan — and...

There’s no wrong way to grieve. How one deals with the loss of a loved one is a deeply unique situation. Whatever path someone takes, that’s what is right for them. Unfortunately, the same can not be said about films dealing with grief. When done right, they’re devastatingly powerful. When done wrong, you just can’t feel for the protagonist’s plight and have no connection. In the case of State Like Sleep, the movie wavers back and forth between both sides of the coin. In the end, poor pacing and too slow a buildup ultimately sabotage a potentially affecting piece of work. The movie is a drama laden with mystery/noir elements. Set a year after the death of her actor husband Stefan Delvoe (Michiel Huisman), Katherine (Katherine Waterston) is still trying to make sense of it all. When she gets a phone call that sends...

"Funny - peel back a layer, and no one's where the seem to be..." The Orchard has debuted an official trailer for an indie psychological thriller film titled State Like Sleep, which first premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. The dark, moody, mysterious drama is about a woman named Katherine, played by the very talented Katherine Waterston, who is still struggling to grapple with her husband's surprising death a year before. After a phone call, she goes out to try and figure out what really happened to him. The full cast includes Michael Shannon, Luke Evans, Mary Kay Place, Mark O'Brien, Rachel Wilson, and Bo Martyn. There's a lot of weird, fascinating, peculiar footage in this trailer - hard to make sense of it, but it's certainly appealing. I'm surprised we haven't heard much about this film before today. Have a look. Here's the first official trailer...
