Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Find season 2 on Paramount+ now. Season 1 also available 

We get it – diving into Star Trek’s expansive universe can seem a little daunting to new sci-fi explorers. But Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is the perfect place to start your mission, thanks to its bingeable storylines and easy introduction to the Star Trek universe.

 

Both a prequel to the original 1960s Star Trek series and a sequel to Star Trek: DiscoveryStrange New Worlds focuses on USS Enterprise captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount, The Virtuoso) – a character who appeared in Star Trek’s unaired pilot back in 1965. His crew include young versions of Spock (Ethan Peck) and Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding), as well as Rebecca Romijn (X-Men) as Number One. Peace lies in the balance after the Romulan attack in season 1’s finale – can Pike restore order?

Extraction 2

Find it on Netflix now. Extraction is also available 

Produced by the Russo brothers (Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame), the first Extraction film saw Chris Hemsworth put down his hammer to take on the role of a fearless black-market mercenary hired to rescue a kidnapped son of an international crime lord. After barely surviving that encounter, now he’s back to rescue the family of a ruthless Georgian gangster from the prison where they’re being held. The original film was a thrill ride from start to finish. Expect Extraction 2 to feature even more blockbuster action.

 

Manifest

Find season 4 on Netflix now. Seasons 1-3 also available 

The final part of the hit supernatural drama series has arrived. Following the passengers and crew of an airliner who suddenly reappear after being presumed dead for five and a half years, it has all been leading to this moment. Will there finally be answers for those who stepped off Flight 828? Will everything be revealed to them? Will everyone survive the climax? Will air travel be the same again? We won’t spoil anything here, but you’re in more than a little bit turbulence in this concluding run of episodes.
