Resident Evil is Netflix’s latest attempt to strike gold with a video game adaptation. Based on Capcom’s legendary horror series and set decades after the original games, Resident Evil focuses on Albert Wesker (Lance Reddick) and his work at shadowy pharmaceutical Umbrella. After he moves to the company’s idyllic New Raccoon City with his twin daughters, all hell breaks loose. In a novel twist, the series also picks up the story 14 years later and deals with the fallout from a zombie outbreak – with Albert’s daughter Jade at the center of it all. Expect horror, action – and more grotesque undead monsters than you can shake a Jill Sandwich at.

Tom Holland takes on the role of Nathan Drake in this adaptation of the beloved video game of the same name. Acting as an origin story for Drake, the movie sees him recruited by Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) in an attempt to beat a corrupt billionaire (Antonio Banderas) and a mercenary (Tati Gabrielle) to find some fabled treasure. The movie went through a total of seven directors, but it finally reached the big screen earlier this year.

Nathan Fielder is back to doing what he’s best at: making everyone around him uncomfortable. Much like the hit Comedy Central series Nathan For You, which starred Fielder as an off-kilter fictionalized version of himself who frequently puts himself and others into awkward situations, HBO’s The Rehearsal is a dramatized social science experiment that asks ordinary people to prepare for life’s biggest moments – by “rehearsing” them in a carefully crafted situation of his own design. When a single misstep could shatter your entire world, why leave life to chance?
