The Running Man 

Stephen King’s dystopian nightmare is back on the big screen — and it’s slicker, louder, and more adrenaline-fuelled than ever. Director Edgar Wright (Baby Driver) brings his trademark style to this fresh adaptation, with Hollywood’s new golden boy Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick) stepping into the spotlight as a charismatic everyman pushed to the edge.

Zootopia 2
Some sequels arrive quickly. For animated hit Zootopia, however, it took nine years for its follow-up to hit the screens — but that wait was worth it. Zootopia 2 is bigger and more exciting than its beloved predecessor.

Endearing rabbit police officer Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and her fox pal Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), an ex-con, are reunited in the police force. Nick may be living on the straight and narrow now, but old habits die hard. Judy’s by-the-book discipline clashes with Nick’s sly instincts, and their partnership is still a work in progress. 

When a mysterious new threat emerges — one that seems tied to the enigmatic viper Gary De’Snake (Ke Huy Quan) — the duo are pulled into a case that’s far more complicated than it first appears. To crack it, they’ll need to do the impossible: finally get on the same page.

Rental Family
Brendan Fraser’s emotional and Oscar-winning comeback in The Whale made audiences weep. Now, he returns with a gentler, quietly moving story about loneliness, connection, and the roles we play for others. 

Fraser stars as Phillip Vanderploeg, a struggling American actor living in Tokyo with no clear direction. Desperate for work, he joins an unusual company that rents actors to clients for life’s strangest needs: keeping up appearances, filling emotional gaps, or simply offering companionship. 

Soon, Phillip finds himself living multiple lives — as a stand-in father helping a mother and daughter navigate private school, and as a journalist accompanying a retired actor battling dementia. What begins as a job becomes something deeper: a way of seeing his city and the people around him in a whole new light.

Chief of War
Historical epics are nothing new, but Chief of War feels like something we haven’t seen before. Starring Jason Momoa, this Apple TV series brings Hawaii’s rich, sprawling history to the screen. 

Set in the 18th century, the series unfolds across the fractured Hawaiian Islands, with four kingdoms — Hawaiʻi, Maui, Oʻahu, and Kauaʻi — locked in conflict. Momoa plays Kaʻiana, a formidable warrior chief exiled from his homeland, who ventures into enemy territory in search of purpose and truth. 

Based on real events and featuring authentic Hawaiian dialogue alongside a powerful cast of Hawaiian and Māori actors, Chief of War became one of 2025’s breakout hits: a sweeping, culturally resonant epic. 

Kingdom  
David Attenborough, who turns 100 in May this year, is back with another jaw-dropping dive into the natural world. But his latest project, Kingdom, isn’t just a documentary. As narrated by Attenborough, it plays out like a real-life drama of power, rivalry, and survival.  

Focusing on four apex predator clans — lions, leopards, wild dogs, and hyenas — the series explores their fragile coexistence in a Zambian national park, where dominance is always up for grabs. (Kingdom’s executive producer, Mike Gunton, compares the power dynamics of the clans to those of Game of Thrones and Succession.) 

Filmed over five years (the BBC’s longest wildlife shoot ever), Kingdom reveals nature’s most compelling truth: you don’t need scripts or special effects when the wild writes the story itself. 

Running Point
Think Ted Lasso energy, but with basketball and Kate Hudson at the centre of the madness. Created by Mindy Kaling, Running Point is a feel-good sports comedy with big laughs and even bigger heart. 

Hudson plays Isla Gordon, who is thrown into the deep end when her wealthy, dysfunctional family hands her control of their struggling basketball team, the Los Angeles Waves. Suddenly, she’s got players to manage, critics to silence, and the whole world ready to judge. 

Determined to prove she’s more than a nepo baby headline, Isla rises to the challenge. 

Hudson, who garnered Oscar buzz for last year’s musical drama Song Sung Blue, excels in a role that’s equal parts hilarious and heartfelt, allowing her to flex both her comedic muscles and dramatic chops. But the other cast members also shine here, including Brenda Song as Isla’s foul-mouthed best friend.
