ABOUT THE SHOW - Peacemaker --
Peacemaker returns with its highly anticipated second season, now set in the redefined DC Universe (DCU) and picking up just after the events of the Superman film. Using the multiverse-adjacent Quantum Unfolding Chamber, Chris confronts a mirrored version of his life in an alternate reality—one where his deceased brother is alive and he’s a celebrated hero—offering powerful reflections on regret, identity, and what could have been.
ABOUT THE SHOW - Alien: Earth --
Created by Noah Hawley, Alien: Earth is a bold and unsettling sci-fi horror series set in 2120—two years before the original Alien. In a future dominated by rival mega corporations, humanity has splintered into cyborgs, sentient synths, and hybrids—synthetic bodies infused with human consciousness. The series ignites when the spaceship Maginot crashes to Earth, unleashing extraterrestrial threats and transforming lives.
