Fresh foes and woes await Wednesday Addams this August. Netflix released a clip of the first six minutes of 'Wednesday' Season 2 at fan event Tudum on Saturday — which revealed that Haley Joel Osment will be playing a serial killer called the Kansas City Scalper. 'I'm tied up in a serial killer's basement. Who said nightmares don't come true?' Wednesday (Jenna Oretga) says at the beginning of the clip, surrounded by creepy dolls. In voice-over, she goes on to explain that she spent her summer vacation hunting down the Kansas City Scalper. After she confronts him, he restrains her, then shows her a doll he's made to look like her. 'Let me show you some of my own handiwork,' she says before using her psychic abilities to free herself and attack him.

Peacemaker season 2 finally has a teaser trailer – here are 3 things you need to know about the hit Max show's return
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. It's official: Peacemaker season 2 will be streaming on Max from Thursday, August 21 at 9.00pm ET/PT. John Cena will be back as the titular hero, and many villains' butts will be kicked. The official synopsis says: "The new season follows Christopher 'Chris' Smith, aka Peacemaker, the vigilante Super Hero as he struggles to reconcile his past with his newfound sense of purpose while continuing to kick righteous evil-doer butt in his misguided quest for peace at any cost." Season 1 stars John Cena, Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Holland, Freddie Stroma, Steve Agee and Robert Patrick are all back, and this time around they're joined by a new cast that includes by Frank Grillo, David Denman, Sol Rodriguez, and Tim Meadows. As you'll see from the trailer below, the second season looks set to deliver one of the best Max show's trademark mix of whip-cracking action and whip-smart wisecracking. Here's what you need to know. One of the problems facing season 2 is that it's in a different universe to season 1: James Gunn set Peacemaker season 1 in the DC Extended Universe, which is now gone, so season 2 takes place in the DCU. That raises lots of questions, which we've explained in our in-depth hub (linked above). It looks like at least part of the answer is at the end of the trailer, which shows not only Peacemaker but also... Peacemaker. If they aren't the DCU Peacemaker and the DCEU Peacemaker then we'll be amazed. In the trailer we see Peacemaker auditioning very uncomfortably for Maxwell Lord's Justice League, while Guy Gardner and Hawkgirl look on. Presumably this was filmed during production of Superman, which means we shouldn't expect them to play a huge part in season 2. But it's interesting because this Justice League is much more fun than the DCEU one, especially in its portrayal of Hawkgirl. It looks like Flagg Sr. is going to be a key character in season 2 after his starring role in the Creature Commandos animated series, and he's got very good reasons to go after Peacemaker: in The Suicide Squad (spoiler alert!), Peacemaker killed his son. That makes him more nuanced than the usual superhero show villain: he's not a monster; he's a grieving parent. Going by this new trailer there's lots to be excited about, so August can't come soon enough. Season 2 of Peacemaker will be streaming on Max from August 21 and will see Rick Flag Sr "on a mission" for justice. The first season of Peacemaker is streaming on Max in the US and Now in the UK. Peacemaker season 2 release date finally confirmed as new footage of popular HBO TV show revealed in Max sizzle reel trailer What is the release date and time for The Last of Us season 2 episode 5? Max's password sharing crackdown will take a while before it goes 'full steam', WBD says

Power Rangers & Ninja Turtles New Crossover — GeekTyrant
The Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles are no strangers to each other and I guess it's time for another crossover. BOOM! Studios and IDW are teaming up with writer Ryan Parrott ( Vicarious ) and illustrator Vincenzo Federici ( Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ) to bring fans Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III . This is the third crossover comic series penned by Parrott and so I'm sure he's got something great cooked up for us fans and while I'm not very familiar with Federici, a look at his Instagram tells me that we've got an incredible creative duo. With Rita and Krang defeated, the bad guys aren't cutting the Rangers and Turtles no slack! Lord Zedd and Shredder have a new plan to take down the radical teen heroes, and if they don't act carefully, they may just succeed. I really liked the first Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series but sadly missed the second series. I'm curious what Zedd and Shredder will get up to. My first instinct is something with the Dark Rangers that were a great idea with just awful execution in season two of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers . Maybe they'll finally get justice? You can read Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III #1 on August 13 from your local comic shop. There's no word on how many issues to expect, but I think it's safe to assume that it will be like the previous two series and run for five issues. What are your predictions for the third crossover story?

Lady Gaga to guest star in second season of 'Wednesday'
There's great news for fans of Lady Gaga and the show Wednesday. The pop queen is all set to be seen in the second season as a guest star, People magazine reported. At Netflix's Tudum 2025 live event last week, the streaming giant unveiled the first six minutes of the show's highly anticipated second season. After a nearly three-year wait, fans finally got to see what kind of spooky shenanigans Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) gets up to this season. The footage begins with Wednesday tied up in a serial killer's basement -- "who said nightmares don't come true?" -- surrounded by life-size dolls. "He's under the delusion that I'm his next victim," she says. "I'll let him cherish that notion while I explain my predicament." A flashback from six weeks earlier then takes place, showing Wednesday spending her summer vacation doing what any normal teen would be doing: mastering her psychic ability. Back on stage at Tudum, the Wednesday cast revealed that Lady Gaga will be joining season 2 in a guest starring role. The details regarding her character were not disclosed. Interestingly, Gaga performed at the event, delivering a show-stopping performance, including Bloody Mary as well as her hit song Abracadabra. Gaga stepped out from a vertical coffin amid a sea of background dancers dressed in the vein of Gomez Addams (Luis Guzman), singing track Zombieboy off of her recently released Mayhem, Deadline reported. Part 1 of the hit series' second season will debut August 6, with Part 2 following September 3.

Happy birthday Ernie! Princess Eugenie shares sweet tribute to her 'golden boy' Ernest on his second birthday
Princess Eugenie has shared a sweet tribute to her 'golden boy' Ernest as he celebrated his second birthday. In a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into her family life, Eugenie shared a series of photographs of her sons Ernest, two, and August, four, to mark her youngest's birthday on Friday. In one photograph, Ernest - who is the second son of Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank - is thrown into the air by his father while on a snowy ski trip. In another, he plays in the mud with his four-year-old brother. The mother-of-two said: 'Happy Birthday my darling Ernie. 2 today! And what an incredible two years it's been. 'Always smiling, always laughing, always giving hugs and hello's and making everyone happy. 'My golden boy, we love you!' In other pictures from the rare snapshot, Ernie and August are seen holding hands as they walk down a street in London, with another picturing them together on an airplane. Ernie is also seen being held by his mother while on a ski trip, the youngster bundled up in a bright teal snowsuit and holding firmly to a lion-shaped comforter. And in another, he adorably wears a pair of sunglasses upside-down. Royal watchers were quick to join in the birthday celebrations in the comments of Eugenie's Instagram post. One person said: 'Lovely photos, hope Ernie has the best day.' Another added: 'Oh wow they are getting so big. Feels only yesterday I was watching your wedding on the telly! Happy birthday Ernie.' And a third said: 'Happy, Happy 2nd Birthday Ernie!!! Lots of love to you all!!!' It comes after Eugenie opened up about the 'sense of shame' she felt when she first saw her scoliosis scar. In a rare, wide-ranging interview, the royal mother-of-two, 34, also discussed how her Sarah Ferguson raised her to be proud of her scar after she went underwent surgery at the age of 12. In 2002, Queen Elizabeth II's granddaughter had rods inserted into her spine after she was diagnosed with scoliosis (curvature of the spine), and told that she would need corrective surgery. After the eight-hour operation, Prince Andrew's daughter spent three days in intensive care, a week on a spinal ward and six days in a wheelchair before she was able to walk again. Royal watchers were quick to join in the birthday celebrations in the comments of Eugenie's Instagram post Speaking to The Telegraph, Eugenie revealed she had a 'sense of shame' when she couldn't wash or dress herself and was shown her scar, which runs down her neck and spine. However, she claimed her mother, the Duchess of York, removed all the stigma about the scar and helped her see it in a positive light. Eugenie said: 'She was amazing. She'd ask me if she could show it to people, then she'd turn me around and say, "my daughter is superhuman, you've got to check out her scar". 'All of sudden it was a badge of honour – a cool thing I had. It trained my brain that it's ok, scars are cool.'
