Negan and Maggie Dominate Walkers in ‘The Walking Dead: Dead City’ Trailer

The Walking Dead may have just ended but long live the undead king, because The Walking Dead: Dead City is already coming back with Negan and Maggie. The most unlikely team-up since John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Sure, Negan knocked Maggie’s lover’s eye out with a baseball bat. But, this too shall pass, it seems.

The latest teaser trailer focuses on both Negan and Maggie taking on a new kind of zombie and threat in Manhattan. The whole thing is obviously playing on big vibes from Escape From New York and we are liking it.

The synopsis for The Walking Dead: Dead City goes like this:

Reunited and it feels so good… Negan (Jeffery Dean Morgan) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) are back together and are headed to (what is left of) New York City. Can they put their differences aside and learn to trust one another?

The Walking Dead: Dead City arrives June 18.

The Evil Dead Burn Trailer Is Here and It Is Everything

Published

April 21, 2026

Luna Gray

The teaser for Evil Dead Burn is attached to Lee Cronin’s The Mummy in theaters right now, which means you have to earn it. Go see The Mummy. You will probably enjoy that too.

Here is what we got. A young girl crawling across an apartment floor desperately trying to stay alive in a room with a Deadite. It is hard to tell, but the whole thing may be one continuous shot of her trying to get away from all of it. It is action packed, and it is gory, and ultraviolent in a way we have never seen in the franchise. For a teaser. That is a thesis statement. That is Sébastien Vaniček telling you exactly what kind of film this is going to be.

Evil Dead Burn opens July 10.

Why Vaniček Was the Right Call

The director is Sébastien Vaniček, who made Infested in 2023. Infested is a French spider horror film set entirely in a crumbling apartment building, and it is one of the better creature features of the last decade. It is relentless.

A single girl crawling across a dirty apartment floor with Deadites closing in is exactly the kind of scene Vaniček was built for. He does not need big spaces or big budgets. He needs a person, a threat, and no way out. That is Evil Dead. That has always been Evil Dead.

He co-wrote the script with Florent Bernard, his Infested collaborator. Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert produce through Ghost House Pictures. Bruce Campbell and Lee Cronin are executive producers. The whole institution showed up for this one.

What the Film Is About

A woman loses her husband in a car accident and goes to stay with her in-laws at their remote house. The in-laws find the Book of the Dead. You already know what happens after that. You have always known.

Souheila Yacoub leads the cast, joined by Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan, Tandi Wright, and George Pullar. The film shot in New Zealand between July and October 2025 and is the sixth installment in the Evil Dead series.

Evil Dead Rise proved the standalone approach works. It did not need you to have seen anything. Burn looks like it is doing the same thing and doing it in a filthier, more confined space, which is exactly where this franchise lives best. If the teaser is any indication, Vaniček understood the assignment from the first frame.

Evil Dead Wrath follows in 2028, directed by Francis Galluppi. The pipeline is full. I am not complaining.

The Evil Dead Universe Now Includes a Mummy Film

No one would blame you for missing it. You watched Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, a professor named Bixler showed up, you didn’t think twice about it, and you went home. That was the whole plan.

Then Cronin gave an interview to Collider where he explained what he did, which is the least subtle version of hiding something possible. The Mummy and Evil Dead share a universe now and its up to us to decide what that means.

The Name You Missed

Mark Mitchinson plays Professor Bixler in The Mummy. He is an Archaeologist. You know the type. Probably has a bad feeling about this, does not survive having a bad feeling about it.

If you watched Evil Dead Rise, that name might mean something. Bethany Bixler is Beth. The woman trying to hold her family together while her sister gets possessed in a Los Angeles apartment building and starts doing things that are deeply unpleasant to think about. Same last name.

Cronin’s exact words to Collider: “If you pay attention to the name of the archeology professor in the movie, he could be a distant relative of some key characters in Evil Dead Rise.”

He could be. The director put the name there on purpose and then talked about it in an interview. You can decide how ambiguous that is. I have already decided.

What the Evil Dead Canon Looks Like Now

Evil Dead Rise did not reboot anything when it came out in 2023. It continued the same line that Sam Raimi started in 1981 and that has since expanded to include the original trilogy, the 2013 remake, and Ash vs. Evil Dead. Cronin stepped in as steward of that whole thing.

The Deadites, the Necronomicon, and a journalist’s daughter who vanishes into the desert and comes back eight years later as something that no longer qualifies as a daughter now all share the same reality. That is a lot of mythology in one place and somehow none of it feels like it is crashing into anything else.

The Practical Magic 2 Teaser Trailer Is Finally Here

Published

April 20, 2026

Luna Gray

The Practical Magic 2 teaser trailer is out, and it is worth taking a second to appreciate what we are actually looking at here. A film that bombed at the box office in 1998, fell short of recouping its $75 million budget, and got mixed reviews at best is now getting a sequel with its full original cast, a rebuilt set, and a room full of theater owners losing their minds at CinemaCon.

What Happened the First Time

The original Practical Magic came out in October 1998 and critics did not know what to do with it. It was part romantic comedy, part domestic abuse drama, part supernatural thriller, part crime story. The tonal whiplash was real, and the reviews reflected that. The film underperformed. Nobody called it a classic.

Then it became one anyway. The film found its audience over the following two decades, particularly among millennial women who responded to what it was actually doing underneath the genre mess. A film about women protecting each other, centered entirely on a bloodline of women, with a finale built around a community of women coming together.

What the Trailer Shows

Sandra Bullock opens the teaser in voiceover as Sally: “I’m sure you’ve heard of the Owens family. The ones from Massachusetts. The ones their neighbors whisper are witches.” Nicole Kidman is back as Gillian, settled into life with a black cat. The house on the cliff was rebuilt from scratch for the film.

Bullock said of returning: “Coming back didn’t feel like shooting a sequel. It felt like coming back home.” Given that the original cast and director were not involved in any franchise maintenance for twenty-eight years, that is something.

The Cast

Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest are both back as the aunts Frances and Jet. The film adds Joey King as Sally’s daughter. She uncovers buried family secrets and develops dark powers of her own. Maisie Williams, Xolo Maridueña, and Solly McLeod round out the new generation.

Practical Magic 2 opens September 11, 2026.
