Our First Look at the Second Season of Daredevil: Born Again!
To perhaps celebrate the entire first season of Wonder Man arriving on Disney+, we also got the first ever trailer for the second season of Daredevil: Born Again. I enjoyed the first season, I enjoyed the Netflix seasons, and I can’t wait for this new season!
Looks good to me. Action, adventure, romance, fun music cues, the return of Jessica Jones; this season will have everything! And this season will be especially good because it’s made by the second creative team. The first season was apparently notoriously bad, and they brought in a second creative team halfway through to try to rebuild what was already filmed and add new material. Now the second season will be made completely by this second creative team. That should be a good sign.
Daredevil: Born Again returns to Disney+ on March 24.
There’s Gonna Be a New Darth Maul Cartoon
Star Wars is gonna Star Wars. And there’s gonna be more cartoons! Specifically, there’s going to be Star Wars: Maul — Shadow Lord. I think it’s gonna take place…I have no idea. but Darth Maul is gonna be a dude operating from the shadows doing crime and fighting Stormtroopers. Sounds good to me!
And it looks good to me, too. Looks like Darth Maul doing cool, shadowy things, possibly against the Empire. Does it impact things that we already know his future and how he dies? Nah. I’ll just enjoy watching Darth Maul do cool stuff.
Hopefully they’ve drawn some inspiration from Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter, a 2001 novel I devoured as a young lad after The Phantom Menace came out. It’s a prequel about Darth maul doing evil, cool things from the shadows, and features some awesome side characters. And this cartoon features some potentially awesome side characters!
Might one of these supporting character Jedi be named Darsha Assant? Man, I hope so.
Anyway, Star Wars: Maul — Shadow Lord will come to Disney+ on April 6.

TV Trailers for a Monday!
I was really busy with work last week and didn’t post much of anything. My bad. This week might see a ton of new snowfall, so that will suck as well. But rather than ignore this blog and take the easy way out, I’m gonna share some TV show trailers that came up recently! I love that sort of thing.
First up is The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, a comedy starring Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe. That sounds like a great pairing.
And it sounds like it could be a fun show. I like fun shows. I like Morgan and Radcliffe. I’ll probably definitely check this one out. Says it’s from the team that created 30 Rock, so that’s a very good sign.
The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins comes to…actual broadcast NBC, neat…on Feb. 23, so there was a sneak peak from just last night.
Next up is the trailer for the second season of Ted. That should be a hoot!
I liked the movies, I liked the first season; this should be a no-brainer watch. It’s just plain funny. With plenty of heart. Hopefully this gets as many seasons as Family Guy! And then we get a Ted 3, featuring these characters.
Ted returns to Peacock on March 5.
How about a second season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters? I liked the first season well enough, though I think it went further and weirder than I was expecting or hoping.
Second season seems to be more of the same. Monsters. Weird Hollow Earth nonsense. Maybe some good character stuff? I dunno. It’s just fun that we’ve got a Godzilla TV show.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters returns to AppleTV on Feb. 27.
Lastly, there’s going to be a third season of Shrinking, which is one of the best shows on TV nowadays. I can’t praise Shrinking enough. It’s from the same people who made Scrubs (not looking forward to that revival) and the first season of Ted Lasso.
Can’t wait! Shrinking is that damn good. Watch the first two seasons if you can. It’s so heartfelt, so emotional, and also damn funny. Sitcoms don’t get much better than Shrinking.
Season 3 comes to Apple TV on Jan. 28! So it’s coming soon! How exciting.

Here’s a Nifty Trailer for Wonder Man
The next Marvel Studios project to come out will be the Wonder Man TV show at the end of this month, and I’m excited. I have not given up on the MCU and I think this show looks neat. I think it’s going in a fun, weird direction, one that is perfectly captured in this new trailer that came out this week.
Looks good to me! I like a good trailer, one with some nifty editing and real style. We get a bit more of an understanding to Simon Williams in this one, from his powers to his career to everything else. And I’m fully on board! I wanna see the MCU tackle the very idea of Hollywood superhero fatigue. And it looks quirky and funny, which I also enjoy. So I’m here for all of this!
Wonder Man premieres on Disney+ on Jan. 27.

My 6 Favorite Things of 2025
2025 was a horrible year. I had to buy both a new car and a new computer, both of which I’m still paying off. The world went even more to shit. I’m discovering in real time that my new landlord isn’t going to spring for plowing the snow out of my driveway. Marvel movies are doing poorly at the box office. And Grand Theft Auto VI was delayed until next year, if we’re lucky.
So boo on 2025!
But one thing I like to do every year is a roundup of my favorite bits and pieces of pop culture from the past year. My favorite movies, TV shows, comics and more. Why not? Every website does this at this time of year. Why not try to lift my own spirits with writing about my favorite things? And keep in mind, this is not a list of the best media, it’s my own personal list of favorites from the past year. Your mileage may vary.
