TV Trailer Tuesday!
A good question exists of why I share which trailers I do. Why some trailers but not all trailers? The answers is that I really just share trailers of projects that interest me. I’ve loved watching trailers since the days of Coming Attractions on the E! Network when I was a kid. Here are some trailers I’ve been sitting on over the past few days and am just dropping them now for funsies!
First up is the trailer for the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Lower Decks! I love this show. It’s my Star Trek. And it’s a damn shame this is the final season. We need so much more! This season looks great.
Can’t wait to watch. Love the Beckett/Jennifer stuff. Have no idea what else might happen. Anything could happen! I hope they go huge for the final season!
The last season of Lower Decks comes to Paramount+ starting Oct. 24.
Next up is the new Netflix cartoon Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. This started last Thursday, but I haven’t watched it yet. I’ll get around to it one of these days.
Looks pretty straight forward to me. Lara Croft should be an easy character to adapt, so it’s weird that the movie franchise didn’t really take off. Hopefully this cartoon can reveal how it’s easy and awesome to make a show about a badass exploration hero exploring tombs and fighting bad guys and monsters.
Then we’ve got a new show called Hysteria, which looks pretty neat.
Looks like a fun premise, lots of cheeky humor and I think I’ll definitely try to find a watch somewhere along the way. Or maybe it’ll be one of those shows that comes and goes and nobody remembers it even existed. Who can tell? I’ll probably give it aw atch.
Hysteria comes to Peacock on Oct. 18, so at the end of this week.
Lastly is the first trailer for the second season of Silo on AppleTV+. DO NOT WATCH THIS TRAILER unless you’ve already seen season 1, because it’s full of SPOILERS.
Looks great to me! I really enjoyed the first season, and I can’t wait to see where they go with season 2. This trailer gives us some pretty fun hints and I can’t wait to see them play out!
Silo season 2 comes to AppleTV+ on Nov. 15.

We Have Our TV Green Lanterns!
Rumors have been swirling for weeks now, and yesterday we got final confirmation that Kyle Chandler will play Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre will play John Stewart in the upcoming HBO show Lanterns. Solid casting!
I have very high hopes for this TV show. The Penguin has been awesome so far, largely because it’s a gritty crime drama that just happens to be about the Penguin. So I’m hoping we get a gritty cop drama that just happens to be about the Green Lantern Corps. Granted, it’ll hopefully be more colorful and cosmic than a gritty crime drama, but I have faith that they will make it work. And this is a good cast to make it happen!
And don’t forget Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner in the Superman movie!
We’ve got a good Corps on our hands. Here’s hoping we get even more characters, and even more of the rainbow corps!

The Velma Halloween Special is Real and It’s Here
As one of the only people on the internet who legitimately enjoys the TV show Velma, I was excited to find out that the Halloween special was real. This was a single rumor months ago and then I never heard anything else, to the point that I thought it wasn’t real and wouldn’t happen.
But then, surprise! They released a trailer at the start of the month to no fanfare, announcing the show would come out on Oct. 3! So I watched it this weekend and enjoyed it.
Oh also, this trailer has all sorts of spoilers for the ending of season 2.
I like Velma. It’s a fun show and a great Scooby Doo prequel story. It’s crass and funny and has good mysteries. Don’t listen to the haters and watch it for yourself. I never knew people were so sacred about Scooby Doo, which has had more alternate takes than the Ninja Turtles.
Anyway, the Halloween special is now on Max for everyone to watch! And let’s hope we get a season 3!

TV Trailer Friday
It’s Friday. The weekend is here. So I thought I’d share a couple of really fun TV trailers that came out this week. First up is the new trailer for the sixth and final season of What We Do In The Shadows! Such a fun show, and the final season looks just as good as always.
The movie was great, the show is great; this is one for the books and it’s always nice for a show to actually get to six seasons these days. What We Do In The Shadows returns to FX on Oct. 21.
Next up is the second season of Shrinking, a very good show on AppleTV+.
Shrinking was my runner-up favorite show from last year. It’s that damn good! And I can’t wait for a second season. Now if only Apple would give us the second season of Severance…But Shrinking will do for now!
Shrinking season two returns on Oct. 16.

Our First Look at The Last of Us Season 2
The Last of Us was a huge hit as a TV show, and I agree it was pretty awesome — even if I felt that the emotional impact was lessened by having already played the game and seen the story. But that’s just on me. It was an awesome show! And season 2 is coming next year.
Unlike all those chuds on the internet, I loved the second game and can’t wait to see it play out on the show. It was an awesome game with an awesome story and awesome characters, and we get to see some of them teased in this new trailer. It all looks great to me! I heard somewhere that the second game is being split into two seasons, which makes sense if they want to draw out the success of the show. And that’s fine by me. I like having good shows and good video games.
The Last of Us returns to HBO sometime next year.
