Blade Runner 2099 premieres November 25 on Prime Video. Fifty years after the events of Blade Runner 2049, Los Angeles has been reborn, just not by humanity. Cora, a fugitive in a final bid to stop running, takes on one last identity: a Blade Runner. Forced to partner with Olwen, a Replicant days from dying, she hunts down a runaway hiding a truth that could collapse a fragile city. The series stars Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer along with Dimitri Abold and Lewis Gribben. Katelyn Rose Downey, Daniel Rigby, Johnny Harris, Amy Lennox, Sheila Atim, Matthew Needham, Tom Burke, and Maurizio Lombardi are recurring guest stars. 

ABC has set premiere dates for The Rookie and new series The Rookie North. Season nine of The Rookie will premiere January 6 at 9. New series The Rookie North will follow at 10. 

Season three of Percy Jackson and The Olympians will premiere November 20 with a two episode premiere, followed by one episode weekly. The third season is based on “The Titan’s Curse,” the third installment of the book series by Rick Riordan. If Percy Jackson learned anything after completing two epic quests with Annabeth Chase, it’s that he would be lost without her. So when Annabeth is captured by the forces of Kronos, Percy must embark on a perilous journey to rescue her. He must free a goddess in chains, confront the Titan’s curse, and avoid triggering the fall of Olympus. With Grover by his side, Percy must join some unlikely questmates to confront a prophecy with dire consequences. It stars Walker Scobell, Leah Sava’ Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Tamara Smart and Levi Chrisopulos. 

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy will return for season two March 2027. Bill Nighy and Rosemarie DeWitt will guest star in the upcoming season. Nighy will play Nahla’s estranged father, Nyk Ake, and DeWitt will play Tarima’s mother, Laytha Sadal, the First Lady of Betazed. The final season follows our cadets into their second year aboard the USS Athena. There, their ideals of leadership, friendship, romance and morality are put to the test as they navigate budding rivalries, shaky diplomatic negotiations, a fiercely competitive schoolwide tournament, and the arrival of a mysterious new cadet whose existence raises questions that could have consequences far beyond the classroom. 

Disney+ has ordered an animated Artemis Fowl series. The series is based on the novel by Eoin Colfer and follows 13-year-old genius Artemis Fowl as he uncovers an underground world of armed and dangerous – and surprisingly high-tech – fairies as he launches a plan to capture one and steal its magic to heal his dying mom and save his family. 

The Bob’s Burgers hulu exclusive Holiday short, “On the Fort Day of Christmas,” will premiere December 7. In the short, a record-breaking Christmas snowstorm means one thing to the Belcher kids – a record-breaking Christmas snow fort. Season 17 of Bob’s Burgers returns to FOX in 2027, and will stream on hulu. 

Tubi has announced the next film in the continued partnership with R.L. Stine with an adaptation of The Babysitter. Desperate to earn enough money for a prestigious writing program, sixteen-year-old Jenny takes a babysitting job despite a prowler terrorizing girls across town. When threatening phone calls begin and a dangerous fugitive surfaces in town, Jenny grows suspicious of everyone around her as the danger begins closing in. 

Netflix is looking forward to the holiday season. This year, unwrap new holiday stories to know by heart.
