Carnival Row

Game-changing top model (and actress) Cara Delevigne teams up with Orlando Bloom in what looks like some kind of a steampunk meets Sherlock Holmes meets Fairyland meets Harry Potter meets North and South (it’s a big meeting) epic. Awesome cast, ambitious genre blending, and plenty of fantasy to fill the GoT sized holes in our hearts. We’ll be there.

________

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance

The original Henson movie was up there as one of the weirdest/coolest things we saw growing up, and we’re psyched to have our minds blown again in 2019 with more Podlings, Skeksies, Gelflings, and (hopefully) a reappearance of Fizzgig. It’s been updated with fancier effects but still features many of the same characters you loved in the first place. Check it out on Netflix Friday August 30.

Family/Drama/Fantasy, Netflix. Friday August 30th. New.
