NETFLIX SERIES SCHOOL OF MAGIC MOVIE
You don’t have to be super familiar with Jim Henson’s original movie that created a cult following back in 1982, but it certainly helps to understand what goes on in this prequel series. It’s hard to overstate how amazing The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is. – Adam ChitwoodĬreated by: Jeffrey Addiss, Will MatthewsĬast: Taron Egerton, Anya Taylor-Joy, Nathalie Emmanuel, Simon Pegg, Mark Hamill, Jason Isaacs, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw Steeped in lore and world building but always engaging, The Witcher is a perfect kind of binge-viewing show. The show’s first season follows three stories destined to converge: Cavill’s Witcher is a muscle-for-hire monster hunter who begins to question why so many princesses have been turning into creatures Yennefer of Vengerberg ( Anya Chalotra) is a powerful sorceress in training who struggles to keep her emotions in check and princess Ciri ( Freya Allan) is on the run after the sacking of her city, but harbors secrets of her own. The fantasy series is indeed very fantasy-it’s more Lord of the Rings than Game of Thrones-but it also doesn’t take itself too seriously and whole-heartedly embraces all aspects of fantasy storytelling and gaming, including fun side-quests, POV battles, and even a bard who follows Henry Cavill’s titular human/creature hybrid around singing songs about his glories. The Witcher is an absolute blast and a half. – Monita MohanĬast: Henry Cavill, Freya Allan, Eamon Farren, and Anya Chalotra The combination of genres means this show appeals to a wide audience. The production design is outstanding and leans heavily into the source material. The show manages to keep readers of the graphic novels engaged while welcoming new viewers as well. Locke & Key is a gripping show that balances its youthful protagonists with mysteries and shocking twists. The keys unlock more than just magic, though, as an old forgotten evil arrives to torment the family and those they care about.
The ancestral home distracts the children before they start uncovering secret keys with magical properties. The long-anticipated Locke & Key series follows the Locke family - Nina ( Darby Stanchfield) and her children Tyler ( Connor Jessup), Kinsey ( Emilia Jones), and Bode ( Jackson Robert Scott) - as they move to the little town of Matheson following the murder of the Locke patriarch, Rendell. Creator: Meredith Averill, Aron Eli Coleite, Carlton CuseĬast : Darby Stanchfield, Connor Jessup, Emilia Jones, Jackson Robert Scott, Laysla De Oliveira, Petrice Jones, Griffin Gluckĭespite its immense success and Eisner Award win, Locke & Key, the graphic novel series of the same name by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodríguez, struggled to be adapted for screen.
