2018’s A Quiet Place was a smashing success, so it was a no-brainer when a sequel was announced shortly after its initial theatrical release. Now, the first trailer for the followup has arrived, just a couple weeks after the recent teaser.

The film will follow Evelyn Abbott (Emily Blunt) as she navigates the post-apocalyptic world with her three children–one of which is an infant. However, if you remember the first movie, there are blind creatures that attack anyone and anything that makes a noise. However, if you need to have a chat, just head to your nearest waterfall, as the creatures can’t hear you there. Check out the trailer below.

The latest film is taking a step outside of the farmhouse, as it will explore the beginnings of this invasion as well as what happened to the Abbott family after the events of the first film. Noah Jupe and Millicent Simmonds reprise their roles as the Abbott children. New to the franchise are Cillian Murphy and Djimon Hounsou, currently in unnamed roles. However, it’s apparent from the trailer these two men have a history together and possibly live together in complete silence.

While John Krasinski won’t be returning to play Lee Abbott–for obvious reasons–he will be returning to direct the movie. He joins Bryan Woods and Scott Beck, once again, as writers for A Quite Place 2 as well.

A Quiet Place 2 hits theaters on March 20.

BBC America’s stylish thriller-slash-drama-slash-romance (or, well, “romance”) Killing Eve has been renewed for a fourth season, Variety reports. This announcement comes ahead of the show’s Season 3 premiere, which is slated for some time this spring.

Executive producer Sally Woodward Gentle called the early renewal “a testament to everyone involved that we have been picked up so early–the magnificent actors, writers, directors and production team. We are extremely lucky to work with such fierce and dedicated people.”

AMC Networks Entertainment Group and AMC Studios president Sarah Barnett praised the show as an easy pick for renewal, calling it “the highest growing show on U.S. television for six years,” and explaining that the devoted fanbase and repeated award show accolades are thanks to “this series’ emphatic embrace is the brilliant women who breathed it into being: Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Emerald Fennell, Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer, Fiona Shaw, and its fairy godmother, executive producer Sally Woodward Gentle.”

Season 4’s showrunner has yet to be set, but the upcoming Season 3 will continue Killing Eve’s tradition of female talent with Suzanne Heathcote (Fear The Walking Dead, See) acting as both showrunner and head writer following in the footsteps of Season 1’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Season 2’s Emerald Fennel.

Based on the Villanelle novel series by Luke Jennings, Killing Eve stars Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer, and Fiona Shaw.

Game of Thrones gained a controversial reputation after the series wrapped with Season 8. It was one of the defining shows of the decade, but many thought it stumbled towards a disappointing conclusion. For that reason, Game of Thrones is still fascinating to think about and definitely worth a rewatch at some point. If you’re ready to relive the series from the very beginning, Amazon has a great deal on Game of Thrones: The Complete Series 1-8 Collector’s Edition.

Game of Thrones Blu-ray box set

Game of Thrones: The Complete Seasons 1-8 Collector’s Edition | $198 ($250)

Released in December, this stunning Blu-ray box set regularly goes for $250. It’s on sale at Amazon for $198. Yes, that still sounds quite pricey, but you’re getting each season for about $25. Individual seasons of Game of Thrones sell for roughly $30 at Amazon, so this is actually a worthwhile investment if you’re a big Game of Thrones fan.

Each case is adorned with exceptional illustrations by Robert Ball, the artist behind the Beautiful Death series, which commemorated a significant death in each of the series’ 73 episodes. The cases fit snugly inside a wooden shadow box, which creates a new image with pieces and parts of each panel.

In addition to the beautiful presentation, this 33-disc box set includes 15 hours of bonus features and never-before-seen footage.

Since this is an Amazon sale, there’s no telling how long this price will hold. If you’re interested, it’d be smart to scoop up the box set quickly.

Marvel’s Infinity Saga spanned a whopping 23 movies, but the four Avengers movies will always be seen as the tentpoles. Last August, Best Buy released a gorgeous steelbook box set featuring all four Avengers movies in 4K UHD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and digital. Though it usually goes for $150, collectors can pick it up for $50 off right now.

Includes 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and digital versions of all four Avengers movies

• The Avengers (2012)
• Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
• Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
• Avengers: Endgame (2019)

At $100, this is the lowest price we’ve seen for the Avengers 4-Movie Collection, besting the $120 Black Friday price. The Best Buy-exclusive box set includes four individually packaged steelbooks, each emblazoned with the Avengers logo.

Make no mistake about it: This is a really good deal. Individual (non-steelbook) 4K UHD versions of the Avengers movies go for around $30 each. You’re getting each movie for $25, with the added benefit of this being a collector’s item that will likely become scarce in the coming years (maybe even months).

As an added bonus, the collection includes an exclusive letter written by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige.

Even in an era where streaming services dominant home media, Best Buy often releases attractive Blu-ray box sets. Star Wars fans will want to check out Best Buy’s Skywalker Saga box set, which includes all nine mainline films and is available to pre-order now.
