We love the Terminator franchise so while we were already very excited about the new show Terminator Zero, we’re over the moon that we now know it’ll be released on Judgment Day, August 29, and that none other than Cobb Vanth himself, Timothy Olyphant, is voicing the main Terminator.
Executive produced and voiced by Ali Wong, Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld is about “a Chinese-American teen living in a small Texas town who must fight an entire underworld’s worth of monsters while balancing the horrors of high school.” It looks very Scott Pilgrim-y and awesome.

Two years ago, news broke that Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire creators Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan were working on an animated show for Netflix. And while that show is still in the works, and no official images were released, at the event we saw concept art of what looked like a teen Ghostbusters team. John Derderian, the head of animation at Netflix, called it “an exciting new take on Ghostbusters that will really surprise audiences.”
Again, no official images were released but Derderian announced that “we’re in production on a new animated series that retains the scares and mystery of the iconic original series [Stranger Things]. We think it will delight existing fans and invite new generations of viewers.” In-room-only concept art showed a lot of weird monsters.

Zack and Deborah Snyder showed up to reveal the first look at their new animated show, Twilight of the Gods, which will be out this fall.
“Twilight of the Gods was a show that we’ve been working on for quite some time—years in the making actually,” Snyder said. “I’ve always been obsessed with Norse mythology. I think it’s an amazing place. I love mythology in general, and so the idea of actually being able to dig into this rich tapestry of heroes and gods was an incredible opportunity for both of us. And this show is really a story. It’s a story about love and revenge, and it just takes us across this massive and beautiful landscape in pursuit of, well, you’ll have to see.”
“Another animated Christmas movie?” That was my reaction when Netflix first mentioned That Christmas, but that was before I realized it was co-written by Richard Curtis, who wrote Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral, and Love Actually. It’s his first animated film and that’s a new image above. It’ll be out in December.

It’ll be out on November 22 and star Nathan Lane was on hand to tell us what it’s about.
“Spellbound is about Ellian, the tenacious young daughter of the rulers of Lumbria. And she has a secret… a mysterious spell has turned her parents into monsters,” Lane said. “Ellian loves her parents. That’s why she summons the mysterious Oracles of the Sun and Moon. I play the Oracle of the Moon and Tituss Burgess plays the Oracle of the Sun—and we come to help her break the spell.”
