Netflix drops first trailer for one of my most anticipated dark thriller shows — and it's a bold twist on revenge
Every week, I like to scroll through Netflix's page for new and trending releases to see what's coming and what to keep on my radar. Months ago, I spotted the dark thriller series 'The Resurrected' in its coming soon section, with nothing but a mysterious cover image and a very brief synopsis. Even with just those scraps of information, my interest was piqued. 'The Resurrected' is a Taiwanese revenge thriller in which two desperate mothers resurrect the deceased ringleader of a telecommunications fraud ring to avenge their kidnapped daughters. It's not a premise I've ever come across before, as bringing someone back to life solely for revenge is a pretty wild hook. After months of waiting, we finally have our first trailer, along with a release date of October 9. That's pretty perfect timing for the Halloween lead-up. On death row, Chang Shih-kai (Fu Meng-Po) is strapped to the execution platform. His mother, Yueh-sin (Chung Hsin-ling), wears an unsettling smile as she looks on, while two women, Wang Hui-chun (Shu Qi) and Chao Ching (Sinje Lee), the relatives of his victims, watch with cold detachment. The execution is over in moments. For Wang, it brings no closure, only a sharper edge to her grief and fury. In a cruel twist, death feels less like justice for Chang and more like an escape. Refusing to let him slip away so easily, Wang and Chao perform a forbidden ritual that pulls him back from the grave, but only for seven days. In that brief span, Chang finds himself stripped of freedom and trapped in their unrelenting quest for vengeance, enduring both physical torment and moral reckoning. Of course, resurrecting such evil comes with consequences, and the trailer makes it clear that their revenge soon spirals out of control.

Along with the trailer and release date, we also got a longer synopsis: 'Set in the fictional city of Benkha, The Resurrected centers on two mothers united by hatred, seeking revenge for their daughters caught in a fraud and kidnapping case. 'With help from a mysterious goddess, they revive the deceased ringleader of the fraud scheme to punish him. Yet, despite inflicting relentless pain, their fury remains unquenched. As dark secrets unravel, their alliance is tested, forcing them to confront the limits of justice and their own morality.' Helmed by Leste Chen ('Eternal Summer') and Hsu Chao-jen ('Living'), this revenge thriller brings together a strong creative team. Leading the cast are internationally acclaimed actresses Shu Qi and Sinje Lee, making their first appearance in a Chinese-language Netflix series. The lineup also includes a special guest role from Golden Horse Award winner Alyssa Chia. Shu Qi said (h/t Variety): 'I'm really looking forward to it. When I first received the script, I felt it was a bold and groundbreaking story — not just for me as an actress, but also for Chinese-language series in general. I've already seen some rough cuts during dubbing, but when I saw the teaser, I still went, 'Wow!'' Sinje Lee also added: 'I've never encountered a female-driven story that's so intense, a little wild, and deeply emotional. It was such a thrill to be a part of it, and of course, I'm even more excited for the day we get to share it with audiences around the world.' 'The Resurrected' is already on my must-watch list, and I'm even more excited for the colder months to roll around. Being a Halloween lover, I'm always on the lookout for darker thrillers to dive into, and Netflix is delivering with this supernatural series dropping at the start of October. Even better, the first two episodes will be showcased at the 30th Busan International Film Festival this September, so we're bound to start seeing early reactions and buzz well before the official release. The premise alone has me hooked because it feels fresh compared to the usual revenge thrillers. The idea of bringing someone back to life for revenge is a bold concept and one I haven't really seen before. With such talented directors and actors involved, I'm confident it's going to be intense and emotional. Stream 'The Resurrected' on Netflix starting October 9.

Cara Delevingne wears Saudi label Ashi Studio
DUBAI: British actress and model Cara Delevingne wore a black gown by Saudi label Ashi Studio to the premiere of 'La Venue de L'avenir' ('Colours of Time') at the 78th Cannes Film Festival. The strapless gown featured a sleek, satin-like finish with a sculpted bodice that flowed into a straight, floor-length skirt, subtly draped at the hips. She paired the look with sheer black opera gloves for added drama. Delevingne, her hair styled in soft waves, completed the ensemble with an emerald and diamond necklace and a matching ring from Hassanzadeh Jewellery. A post shared by Ashi Studio (@ashistudio) Delevingne's gown was originally presented during Paris Haute Couture Week as part of the brand's Spring/Summer 2025 couture collection. The version shown on the runway was in blue. Delevingne was not the only star dressed in designs by Saudi couturier Mohammed Ashi, founder of Ashi Studio. Hong Kong-Taiwanese actress and model Shu Qi also championed the designer at the premiere of 'Resurrection,' wearing a deep burgundy velvet gown from his Spring/Summer 2025 collection. The strapless dress featured a sleek, form-fitting silhouette. Its standout element was the train at the back, adorned with intricate gold-thread embroidery depicting trees, birds, houses, rivers and other landscape details. A post shared by Ashi Studio (@ashistudio) Ashi and his atelier have been based in Paris since 2018. In 2023, he became the first designer from the Gulf region to be invited as a guest member of the Federation de la Haute Couture in Paris, which allowed him to present on the official couture calendar. In 2024, Ashi was commissioned to design the official cabin crew uniforms for Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia's new national airline. His designs have also been worn by a number of international public figures and performers, including Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Hudson, Kylie Minogue, Penelope Cruz, Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, and Queen Rania of Jordan. He most recently dressed US actress Ali Ahn, star of Netflix's 'The Diplomat,' in a cream sculptural ensemble for the Screen Actors Guild Awards held in Los Angeles in February. That same month, 'Wicked' star Cynthia Erivo also wore one of his creations to the 2025 Grammy Awards. Her look was from Ashi Studio's Fall/Winter 2024-25 collection, titled 'Sculpted Clouds.'
