Small Prophets, which premiered recently on Apple TV, comes from BAFTA Award-winning creator, writer, and director Mackenzie Crook. The six-episode season follows eccentric Michael Sleep (Pearce Quigley), who works at a DIY store and lives an ordinary life, though he hopes for the day his darling Clea, who disappeared seven years ago, will return. When Michael visits his dad, Brian (Sir Michael Palin), he sends him to look for his old alchemy recipe. Although skeptical, Michael follows the recipe and begins growing homunculi, magical spirits that can predict the future, hoping they can tell him whether he’ll ever see his lost love again. Meanwhile, he forms an unlikely friendship with his young coworker, Kacey (Lauren Patel), as they bond over their mutual dislike of store manager Gordon (Crook). Eventually, Kacey becomes involved in Michael’s unusual endeavor, having questions for the homunculi of her own.

Crook and Quigley recently spoke with SciFi Vision about the series, from Crook's years-long development of an idea inspired by medieval alchemy to Quigley's longstanding working relationship with the creator. Quigley discussed working with Patel and their on-screen rapport, while Crook described balancing his responsibilities writing, directing and performing in the series, as well as designing the unsettling homunculi before puppet makers adapted his sketches.

The penultimate episode of season two of Dark Matter premiered Friday on Apple TV. Based on the New York Times bestseller by Blake Crouch, the series is about the possible ways your life might have been different if you made different choices, and how the choices you choose to make shape the person you become. In season one, physicist Jason Dessen (Joel Edgerton) was abducted and dropped into an alternate version of his life by another version of himself. After making his way through a myriad of different realities via the Box, he eventually makes his way back to his own universe and his family.

The alternate version of Jason did not only kidnap another Jason, however, but also his friend Ryan (Jimmi Simpson) from the same universe. In season two, Ryan joins forces with Amanda (Alice Braga) as they travel through different realities, searching for a cure to a deadly virus they encountered along the way. In the ninth episode of the season, the two arrive in World X, where Ryan and Amanda are finally reunited with Jason. Their reunion also brings them together with Blair (Amanda Brugel), who proposes a way to shut down the Boxes permanently, potentially putting an end to travel between realities.

Simpson recently spoke with SciFi Vision about playing multiple versions of Ryan in the series, including scenes in which the characters interact with one another. He discussed the technical process of working with stand-ins, the differences between the Ryans’ emotional and intellectual strengths, and why the low-tech environment of World X appeals to him personally.

In the most recent episode of Outlander: Blood of My Blood, while the MacKenzie men return from Sheriffmuir without Dougal (Sam Retford) and Maura (Bobby Rainsbury) is left contemplate her husband’s uncertain future, unbeknownst to all Brian and Murtagh launch a daring rescue.

Recently Retford and Rainsbury spoke with SciFi Vision about Dougal and Maura's changing relationships in the series. Retford discussed filming Dougal's physical ordeal in episode six, the consequences of Brian (Jamie Roy) risking himself to rescue Dougal, and the tension between Dougal's Jacobite convictions and his desire to prove himself. Rainsbury talked about Maura's feelings and fears while Dougal is at war, her complicated bond with Ellen (Harriet Slater), and where Maura's loyalties lie as the Grants and MacKenzies find themselves on opposite sides.

Meanwhile, Julia (Hermione Corfield) has her own battle as she fights to protect her child.

Conroy recently spoke with SciFi Vision about directing a major battle as well as intimate confrontations in the series. Conroy discussed accomplishing the Battle of Sheriffmuir in four days, distinguishing the Jacobite and Crown forces through camera techniques, and directing the more personal fight between Julia and Seema (Lauren McQueen), driven by a mother’s fear for her child’s safety. She also reflected on filming quieter scenes and the character moments that stayed with her.

(BURBANK, Calif. – Oct. 13, 2026) Today, Hulu has announced that Ryan Coogler’s “The X-Files” project has been picked up to series. From Onyx Collective and produced by 20th Television in association with Proximity Media, the series will star Danielle Deadwyler and Himesh Patel. A reimagining of the classic, the series follows two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents who form an unlikely bond when they are assigned to a long-shuttered division devoted to cases involving unexplained phenomena.
 
“I’ve loved ‘The X-Files’ for a long time, so getting the chance to write and direct the pilot has meant a great deal to me,” said Coogler. “What Chris Carter created is special, and we wanted to honor everything that made the original series connect with so many people while also finding our own way into that world. Danielle and Himesh, along with the rest of our cast, have brought such original perspectives and performances to these characters, and watching that come together has been one of the most rewarding parts of the experience. I couldn’t have asked for better collaborators than my crew, colleagues at Proximity Media and our partners at Onyx Collective and 20th Television. I’m grateful for the trust and support they’ve given us as we take on this new chapter.”
 
“We’re looking forward to continuing this journey as executive producers and especially excited to work closely with Jennifer Yale, Simone Harris, and the entire cast and crew as we bring this new chapter of ‘The X-Files’ to life. It was also incredibly special to have our fellow Proximity co-founder Ludwig Göransson contribute the score for the pilot, making this a true collaboration across the Proximity family,” said Zinzi Coogler, Sev Ohanian and Ryan Coogler, founders of Proximity Media.

Ryan Coogler (Proximity Media) wrote, directed and executive produced the pilot and will serve as executive producer along with showrunner and executive producer Jennifer Yale. Executive producers also include Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian (Proximity Media) and Chris Carter. Co-executive producers are Simone Harris (Proximity Media), Danielle Deadwyler and Himesh Patel.

In last week’s episode (206, “What the Universe is Made Of”), Dark Matter revealed a major plot twist: Blair Caplan (Amanda Brugel)’s true identity! The Blair that Jason1 (Joel Edgerton) has been hanging out with in analog world is actually Blair2, the woman he and Amanda2 (Alice Braga) left behind in murder hornet world.

In a recent interview, series costar Amada Brugel (The Handmaid’s Tale) told SciFi Vision how excited she was to play what she called “a very patient, earned plot twist.” She also discussed Blair’s current state of mind. Blair says she’s thriving, but is she?

Brugel said yes, Blair is feeling great, “but with all people, any sort of horrifically traumatic event still lives really close to the surface. As we sort of dive deeper towards the end of the season, the mask that she's put on, it's quite a strong mask [but] it's not as resilient as she would have thought.”

Continuing, Brugel hinted that Blair still has some issues to confront.

“She's going to need to go through a couple of things and resolve some things in herself, but also in the world and in a fight against Leighton (Dayo Okeniyi), to truly be able to put a lot of that pain to rest.”

Apple TV’s Dark Matter is based on the New York Times bestseller by Blake Crouch, who also created the series and serves as showrunner. In season one, Jason Dessen (Joel Edgerton) was abducted from his home and left in an alternate universe where he never married his wife, Daniela (Jennifer Connelly). As he fought to make his way back home, he discovered that another version of himself not only created the Box, which allows people to travel between realities, but he was also the person who kidnapped him to steal his life. Eventually, Jason makes his way back to his own reality where he and his wife and son, Charlie (Oakes Fegley), leave their world to find a place they can start over.

Season two, which is a completely new story, picks up with the Dessens trying to settle into a quiet life that is disturbed by another version of Jason, and they are forced to run again. But as Jason’s obsession with the Box grows, it threatens to tear his family apart.

Sci-Fi Vision recently spoke with Crouch about Dark Matter season two, expanding beyond the original book, and writing a sequel in a different medium. Crouch discussed how the new season explores regret, alternate worlds, the aftermath for Jason’s many iterations, and the challenge of tracking multiple versions of characters and worlds. He also talked about diverging from the main story for episodes five and eight, World X, the ambitious episode ten sequence, and writing more for characters like Amanda (Alice Braga), Ryan (Jimmi Simpson), Blair (Amanda Brugel), Leighton (Dayo Okeniyi), Charlie, and Daniela.

New episodes of Dark Matter premiere Fridays on Apple TV.

The following contains slight spoilers for episode 3

Fans of Outlander: Blood of My Blood know that the show is much more than an epic love story. Like its predecessor, Outlander, the show also highlights real-life societal and political conflict. And in season two, Blood of My Blood fans see that conflict nearing its tipping point.

As the Jacobite Rising intensifies, Blood of My Blood’s MacKenzie and Fraser clans are preparing for battle. In a roundtable discussion, SciFi Vision asked costars Harriet Slater (Ellen) and Hermione Corfield (Julia) what this all means for the women left at home. What war are they fighting?

Slater spoke about the danger Ellen, Julia, and the others face at home without men’s protection. “We see in episode three,” she teased, “the women fend for themselves because...well, because they have to, actually. And I think it's a great episode, because we've never seen that side of them before and would never have seen that side of them if the men hadn't have all gone off to fight.”

Turning to Corfield, she continued: “Hermione, you were saying earlier, it's kind of similar with what happened in World War One and Two when the women had to take on the men's roles, but there's a great amount of strength and power when they do band together in that way.”
