The crime drama Tulsa King follows Dwight Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone), a New York mafia capo who has been released from prison after serving 25 years. After keeping silent about the mob’s crimes, instead of being welcomed back and able to claim his place of power as he expected, he is sent by the Invernizzi crime family to Tulsa, Oklahoma to build a new criminal empire from scratch.

In season three, Dwight intends to expand his empire by buying a coveted bourbon distillery run by the Montagues, but his plans are derailed by the Dunmire family, led by Jeremiah (Robert Patrick), who wants it for his own, and his son, Cole (Beau Knapp), who is the muscle. The formidable Dunmires, who rules the local liquor trade through intimidation and spilt blood, will force Dwight to fight for everything he’s built in Tulsa.

Recently, Knapp spoke with SciFi Vision about joining the cast for season three of the series, working with both Stallone and Patrick, the contradictory nature of his character, and more.

Season two of Karen Pirie, which premieres today on Britbox, sees the detective inspector (Lauren Lyle) handed a challenging high-profile cold case involving the decades-old kidnapping of a wealthy heiress, Catriona Grant (Julia Grant), and her infant son. From the get-go, Pirie faces resistance from the family, eager to keep their secrets buried. As she grows closer to the truth, her and the team will be forced to contend with not just the evidence but also the influence of wealth and the secrets that those who have it go to great lengths to protect.

Recently, star Lyle, as well as writer/executive producer Emer Kenny, who also plays River Wilde in the series, spoke with SciFi Vision about what viewers can expect from season two, how Pirie’s dealing with her promotion, and more.

At the end of season one, Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramse) made it to Seattle only for Joel to realize that to create a cure to the cordyceps virus, Ellie had to die, which didn’t work for him. Joel then proceeded to kill all of the Fireflies, including the doctor who was working on the cure. Season two picks up five years after the events of season one. Ellie and Joel’s relationship is strained, but we don’t know why. During a snowstorm we meet Abby (Kaitlyn Denver) when she is rescued by Joel, but unfortunately, she’s hellbent on revenge because Joel killed her father, which leads to a violent confrontation between the two. When Ellie witnesses the violence firsthand, it starts her on her own journey of revenge against Abby.

To me, the best part of season one was the relationship between Joel and Ellie. While I knew that Joel was going to die going into the second season, I didn’t expect it to be so soon. I really would have preferred the season to spend more time with the two of them together; however, I understand that they were trying overall to stay true to the original story of the games. I did appreciate though that they spent an episode with Ellie grieving, and the flashback episode with Joel was the best of the season, perhaps of both seasons. Their time at the museum really showed the connection between the Ellie and Joel. Also, I appreciated seeing the last moments between the two and getting an answer to how much Ellie was aware of Joel’s actions, which apparently doesn’t happen as early in the game, so they could have kept it until the next season, which I personally believe would have been a mistake.

A chance encounter in the desert changes everything when a teenage girl, Renee (Lulu Wilson), discovers a terrifying alien, and they form a special bond when she realizes it’s not anything she expected. Uncovering a secret that could affect both of their worlds sends them on an adventure as she, along with the help of classmate Gil (Trae Romano), race to escape government agents and protect her new friend.

Stars Wilson and Romano, as well as the writer and director of the film, Matthew Loren Oates, recently spoke with SciFi Vision about creating the movie, working with the team at Jim Henson Productions who designed the alien, and more.

The film opens in theaters nationwide starting today.

In Prisoner of War, star Scott Adkins is once again paired with director Louis Mandylor. Most of the story takes place in World War II before the infamous Bataan Death March in the Philippines. Adkins plays British SAS officer James Wright, who is captured by the Japanese and forced to fight soldiers on both sides to the death in order to amuse his captors.  This is a different take on the bravery of combat soldiers during that war. Adkins, who is a skilled fighter and actor, recently spoke with SciFi Vision about working on the martial arts film and detailed the grueling shooting schedule, conditions and more. You may recognize him from one of his many action films, including John Wick: Chapter 4.

The historical romance drama Outlander: Blood of My Blood is the prequel series to the hugely popular Outlander. A completely new story, it does not follow the book series but rather draws on the world and the characters developed in the novels. The story follows two parallel timelines. The first takes place in 18th century Scotland and follows Jamie Fraser’s future parents, Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) and Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater), and the second starts in early 20th century England with Henry (Jeremy Irvine) and Julia Beauchamp (Hermione Corfield), Claire Beauchamp’s parents. Their fates soon become intertwined when the Beauchamps travel through time.

In episode seven, which recently aired on Starz, Ellen faces humiliation and likely worse when the Grants demand proof of her virtue after receiving a letter from Lord Lovat (Tony Curran) stating she is impure. Meanwhile, Julia’s struggle with Lord Lovat escalates when he attempts to claim and name her child for his lineage.

Recently, Curran spoke with SciFi Vision about Lovat’s relationship with Julia, whether he believes her child is really his, how long the chaste berry can keep him away, his character’s relationship with his son, if he would be willing to grovel to the MacKenzies if it meant getting his power back, filming intimate scenes, and much more.

The following interview contains spoilers for the season finale

Last night, MGM+ aired the season finale of the series The Institute, which is based on the Stephen King novel. The series follows a group of teens with either telekinesis or telepathy, who are kidnapped out of their homes and brought to the mysterious facility of The Institute where they are experimented on and psychologically tortured in order to strengthen their powers.

In the season finale, four of the teens, Luke (Joe Freeman), Nicky (Fionn Laird), Kalisha (Simone Miller), and George (Arlen So) escaped, and The Institute was brought, literally, to the ground. However, it was revealed through the course of the episode that there are other facilities around the world, leaving it open for the story to continue.

The series was already announced to be renewed for a second season. Last week, SciFi Vision spoke with executive producer and director Jack Bender about what that second season could look like, what it’s been like working with King on the project, how he feels about fans of his series FROM looking for clues in The Institute, whether he’d choose TP, TK, or PC for himself, if he has any of his personal artwork in the show, and more.
