Each Other Films Unveils Slate With Folklore Epic, Drag Documentary

by jummy84 November 3, 2025
written by jummy84

Seven years after its launch, Taiwan-based Each Other Films is stepping into an expanded phase of international production, with co-founder and head producer Jacqueline W. Liu and co-founder and CEO Tiffany Yu-Chia Chen unveiling a diverse lineup that stretches from documentary to big-budget action.

The quartet of projects represents a widening scope for the Taipei company, which has steadily built credentials through festival selections, streaming deals and local box office success since 2017.

Among the newly revealed titles is a documentary about drag performer Pangina Heals, a figure who bridges Taiwanese and Thai cultures. The film, titled “Heals,” represents the company’s initial move into factual storytelling through international partnership, working alongside Thailand’s N8 and World of Wonder.

Fiction projects include Henry Tsai’s first directorial effort, “Spent Bullets,” adapted from short stories by Taiwan writer Terao Tetsuya. Production will span multiple cities including Silicon Valley, Las Vegas and Taipei. The film has secured spots at both Golden Horse Film Project Promotion and Taiwan Creative Content Fest 2025.

The company is also returning to a proven property with a fresh chapter in its hit “The Accidental Influencer” franchise. Centered on the character Red, “The Accidental Influencer: Love Me If You Dare” will launch next January on both GTV and Netflix, bringing back the series with additional cast members and storylines focused on contemporary relationships.

Perhaps the most ambitious entry is “The Odd Three: Madam Tiger,” which director Joseph Chen-Chieh Hsu (whose credits include “Little Big Women” and Tokyo-bowing “Double Happiness”) is developing as a large-scale adventure that reinterprets traditional folklore through a modern lens. The project is being positioned as a potential launching point for additional character-driven stories across the region.

“I’ve always believed that a story rooted in a specific place, language, or authentic human connections can still move people everywhere,” said Liu. “That’s the power of cinema — it turns the personal into the universal. As we enter this next phase, I’m excited to expand what that means, especially across genre, scale, and collaboration.”

“Building a production company means knowing where you want to go, and choosing the right stories and people to take you there,” added Chen. “We’ve spent the past seven years building trust — with creators, with partners, and with each other. Now, we’re ready to scale. The future of Asian storytelling is global, and we’re here to be part of that shift.”

The company’s previous work includes the 2020 theatrical release “Little Big Women,” which topped the Taiwan box office that year and earned recognition at the Golden Horse Awards before landing on Netflix. More recently, “The Accidental Influencer” became an HBO Asia original in 2024, while “Dreams in Nightmares” played Berlin’s Panorama section this year. “Penguin Girl” opened last year’s Kaohsiung Film Festival.

Operating under a mission statement emphasizing female perspectives and universal connection, Each Other Films continues developing its pipeline while pursuing additional partnerships across borders.

Diane Lane On Punk Legacy Of 'The Fabulous Stains'

Diane Lane On Punk Legacy Of ‘The Fabulous Stains’

by jummy84 November 3, 2025
written by jummy84

Nearly 45 years later, Diane Lane is proud of the punk legacy that has come from one of her pre-breakout roles.

In an interview with Deadline, the 3x Golden Globe nominee recently reflected on her Lou Adler-directed 1982 cult classic Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains, which is largely credited for influencing the riot grrrl movement of the ’90s.

“It was so wild,” she said of filming the movie as a teen. “It was airing not too long ago on TCM, and I was very vindicated to see that that film had the legs that it deserves to have, and it was wonderful to have been appreciated by people who went on in their music careers and were emboldened by our story.”

Lane continued, “It was February of 1980 when we filmed that. So, just put that in your pipe and smoke it. I mean, it was very real to the times just coming out of the 70s. So, punk was already there and getting only more so. But as a point in history, it’s lovely to say I was a part of it in whatever little way that I could be as a 15-year old girl in the film industry.”

In Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains, Lane starred as frustrated teen Corinne Burns, who forms the band, The Stains, with her sister Tracy (Marin Kanter) and their cousin Jessica McNeil (Laura Dern). When the punk group, The Looters, comes to town, the trio joins their tour and quickly rises to global stardom. The cast also featured the Sex Pistols’ Paul Thomas Cook and Steve Jones, as well as The Clash’s Paul Simonon.

Since garnering a cult following shortly after its release, musicians like Courtney Love, Bikini Kill’s Tobi Vail and Bratmobile’s Allison Wolfe have credited the film as an influence.

Trump Calls ICE on Property Brothers After They Build Ballroom

by jummy84 November 3, 2025
written by jummy84

Viewers were seeing double of Saturday Night Live host Miles Teller when he portrayed twins Jonathan and Drew Scott — the stars of the hit HGTV show Property Brothers — during a skit of them helping President Donald Trump build his new White House ballroom.

“This week we’re taking on our biggest challenge yet: building the new White House ballroom,” Teller’s Drew says before James Austin Johnson’s Trump joins them to ask, “So which one of you is married to New Girl and which one of you is the gay?

Jonathan clarifies that he’s married to Zooey Deschanel, who starred in the hit TV show, New Girl.

He then provides background on their new construction project. “Donald and Melania [Trump] moved into this house nine years ago. They were evicted for four years, but they moved back in,” Jonathan says as Teller’s Drew adds, “Donald has a strong eye for interior design.”

The camera then cuts to Trump placing gold urns everywhere. “That makes me happy. It’s very important to be happy these days. Really dark stuff happening in the world. Some of it me,” Trump says.

Even after replacing paintings in the historic building and paving over the grass in the Rose Garden with stone, Drew says, “Donald and Melania still feel like something’s missing.”

“The house is only 55,000 square feet and 132 rooms,” Chloe Fineman’s Melania says before Trump chimes in, “We need more space, right, honey? We need more space.” Melania adds, “And we need a ballroom because, Donald, he loves to dance.”

As for the budget for the White House ballroom, Jonathan says Trump told them that it was “between $350 million and infinity.” They also asked the president if he needed a permit for the construction.

“Donald laughed really hard,” Drew says of Trump’s response as Jonathan adds, “He said, ‘I could build this ballroom with the bones of my enemies and no one could stop me.”

In addition to the ballroom, Johnson’s Trump tells the Property Brothers that he also wants a ring for MMA fights on the White House lawn.

“Official ones, but also casual fights in the backyard. You know what I’m talking about? Two mentally ill guys just wailing on each other,” he explains. “We can do bum fights again. Remember bum fights? We love bum fights.”

Once demolition got underway, Jonathan updated that the entire East Wing was torn down in two days.

“With the government still shut down and so many workers furloughed, we were able to force park rangers and astronauts to do a lot of the demolition,” Drew says before Jonathan adds, “Unfortunately, the renovation hit a bit of a snag when Donald realized he had deported all the construction workers.”

“But in the end, we’re confident the new ballroom will be a shining beacon of freedom for all Americans,” Drew says.

Although that’s a bit questionable, as Johnson’s Trump admits the ballroom will “be ready just in time for my third term.” Melania notes that they “want this to be our forever home,” with Trump adding, “Yes, because we’re not leaving. We’re gonna be doing something called coup.”

At the end of the SNL skit, the Property Brothers ask for payment for the construction work. But instead of paying Drew and Jonathan, Trump asks, “Aren’t you guys from Canada?” When the brothers confirm they are, the president then calls Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers on them.

Johnson’s Trump says, “There goes ICE. We like a bigot ICE.”

Who left Strictly 2025? Fifth celebrity to be voted out revealed

by jummy84 November 2, 2025
written by jummy84

Halloween Week has seen another celebrity and professional leave Strictly Come Dancing following a strong night of performances.

But while last night saw the judges dish out their first perfect score of the series, a few other pairs were not so lucky, with four duos failing to hit the 30-point mark on the leaderboard.

Two of those pairs then had to face the dreaded dance off, with Ellie Goldstein and Vito Coppola coming up against Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon.

After performing their dances once more, the first three judges to vote – Anton du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse – unanimously sided with Balvinder and Julian, eliminating Ellie and Vito from the competition.

Although not required to give her vote, Shirley Ballas confirmed that she, too, would have opted for Balvinder and Julian, though adding that she thought “Ellie was also outstanding throughout the whole competition.”

Following their elimination, Tess Daly said to Vito that “Everyone behind the scenes, everyone in front of the camera, everyone at home, can see what an incredible partnership you have had with Ellie and just how much it means to you.”

Vito himself told Ellie: “Honestly, there are no words I can use to describe how proud I am of you and you did really change my life so much. You made me such a better person.

“At the beginning of this year, I said to myself please, please please can you send me a beautiful angel into my life? And now you arrived.

“I’ve never had a little sister but I always wanted one. Now, I have you and you’re my little sister forever, and your big brother is always by your side.”

On dancing with Vito, Ellie said “I’ve enjoyed it so much! He is a kind person and all I wanted from day one. You have been so heartwarming, thank you to you [Vito].”

Vito then affirmed that the pair would continue to dance together despite their elimination.

With only nine couples remaining in the Strictly line-up, we now look forward to next week’s show, in which our dancers will be joined by the Band of the Royal Air Force Regiment to mark Remembrance Sunday.

Strictly Come Dancing continues on BBC One and iPlayer on Saturday 1st November at 6:35pm.

Limited TV Series Renewed for More: ‘Beef,’ ‘Shogun,’ etc.

by jummy84 November 2, 2025
written by jummy84

In the television industry, limited series have a funny way of not being so limited. (Hey, semantics, right?) In fact, networks and streamers renew limited series so often, we wonder whether TV executives just use the “limited” label so they can save face if the shows aren’t successful and compete in the historically less-competitive limited Emmy categories if they are. Here are 10 examples of limited series that got the go-ahead to go past their pre-ordained endpoints.

How Gotham Awards and AFI Fest Impact the Oscar Race

by jummy84 November 2, 2025
written by jummy84

Another day, another awards season week in the bag. In the last gasp of October, both the Gotham Award nominees unveiled as did the finish of Los Angeles’ AFI Fest. While the Gotham Awards are an early indicator of where some favorites lie, remember that these nominations (of which “One Battle After Another” reigned supreme after the formerly indie film ceremony eliminated its budget cap) are chosen by high-minded clusters of critics and film programmers. They are not reflective of Academy tastes, though a number of the films get a boost as voters elsewhere do a search on who’s in the running as they ready their ballots.

On this week’s episode of IndieWire’s “Screen Talk” podcast, co-hosts Anne Thompson and Ryan Lattanzio take a look at who got a boost from the Gothams. The indie spirit of the nonprofit Gotham Film & Media Institute — with awards formally dating back to 1991 — was retained in Best Feature picks like “Lurker,” “East of Wall,” and “Familiar Touch.” A24’s “Sorry, Baby” and “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You” also scored multiple nominations in this category and more, but they’re up against “Sinners,” “Hamnet,” and “One Battle After Another,” largely expected to be the top three vying for Best Picture at the Oscars. As of now, anyway. The race can change like the weather.

'Bugonia'

“Bugonia,” “Train Dreams,” and “The Testament of Ann Lee,” which Searchlight picked up some time after its Venice premiere, are also up for Best Feature. Anne finally caught up with “Ann Lee” at AFI Fest and is more an admirer than passionate fan; Ryan commends how Mona Fastvold finds a parallel in her own massive directing effort to the utopia built by the titular Shaker movement leader.

Elsewhere at AFI Fest, Craig Brewer’s “Song Sung Blue” made its world premiere to decent reviews. The true story stars Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman as a pair of down-on-their-luck performers who start up a Neil Diamond tribute band. It seems more like a Golden Globes play in the Musical/Comedy category than a movie bound for Oscar; it’s not releasing until Christmas, so potential audience enthusiasm could tip its favor.

All of that’s to say that these latest developments in the awards season race don’t mean a hell of a lot. Just yet.

Listen to this week’s episode below.

Albania Propaganda Archives Reveal a Passion for the Cinematic

Albania Propaganda Archives Reveal a Passion for the Cinematic

by jummy84 November 2, 2025
written by jummy84

Roland Sejko’s doc “A State Film,” culled from a vast archive of official footage made under the regime of Albanian strongman Enver Hoxha, is a fascinating study in the power of image and myth.

Screened in the main competition at the Czech Republic’s primary annual nonfiction film event, the Ji.hlava Intl. Documentary Film Festival, the compilation of carefully constructed images for the masses contains much to unpack, says Sejko.

“I’ve been working for several years with propaganda film archives — first with Istituto Luce Cinecitta, and also with the archives of the Albanian communist regime,” Sejko says. “Both contain thousands of films created to construct a political narrative, often with striking cinematic ambition.”

The genre is one Sejko explored in his previous film, “The Image Machine of Alfredo C.,” screened in 2021 at the Venice film fest. That film tells the true story of an Istituto Luce cameraman who filmed Mussolini and fascist propaganda, and, eventually, the head of communist Albania.

“It was a hybrid film, but during its making I realized that the vast Albanian film archive — and the central figure of Enver Hoxha — had never been narrated exclusively through their own images.”

So Sejko, as a professional archivist and head of the editorial department for Italy’s Cinecitta Luce, set about analyzing and curating from the decades of state propaganda films.

“The Albanian propaganda newsreels and documentaries clearly bear the mark of Eastern Bloc cinematography,” Sejko says. “The first Albanian camera operators were trained by Soviet masters — starting with Roman Karmen, the legendary chronicler of revolutions and wars.”

“There was never a manual for the propaganda cameraman, no written rulebook for how to film a regime. Yet something invisible governed their images. A First of May parade filmed in communist Albania looks strikingly similar to one filmed in Moscow or Bucharest or Sofia in the same years.”

Indeed, the images of cheering worker heroes and dancing girls in traditional folk garb seen in “A State Film” are hauntingly familiar.

Spanning the post-WWII years, with Albanians urged to “obey and execute the laws of the government” while honoring heroes’ bloody sacrifices, the footage makes clear Hoxha’s devotion to Stalin and Yugoslavian dictator Josip Broz Tito.

Outsize portraits of all three are hauled down endless streets as crowds of obligatory fans parade their wheelbarrows, shovels and carbines. Praises are sung for industry while defensive bunkers, of which Hoxha build hundreds of thousands, withstand test blasts, proving their readiness to stand up to decadent imperialist forces from the West.

Dogs and guinea pigs are sacrificed, presumably to test exposure to potential gas attacks.

And all the while, there’s always another rousing patriotic song for the peasants to sing.

“It is not just the cameraman’s technique that creates this resemblance,” Sejko says. “It is the vision of the world being shown: always the same choreography of collective joy.”

That said, as audiences take in “A State Film,” they begin to perceive that the images have been somehow distilled. Then they may notice the soundtrack, with the original heavy-handed narration replace by the sounds of the breeze in trees, birds chirping and feet tramping unpaved roads.

“In official propaganda films — newsreels, documentaries, parades — the narrator’s voice was not descriptive but prescriptive: it told viewers what to think. Replacing it with another commentary, even a critical one, would have meant repeating the same mechanism.”

“So I removed not only the voice but the whole original soundtrack, keeping only what was real — applause, songs, speeches. I built a new, realistic soundscape with footsteps, murmurs, creaks, silences, as if the scenes had been recorded live. This new texture restores the images’ physicality and opens a space where sound itself becomes a narrative tool.”

Add to this the intercutting of footage from Hoxha’s personal archive, showing moments away from the cheering masses, invariably featuring drives in the dictator’s favorite black Mercedes, and a striking contrast emerges.

These motifs take on a symbolic value, according to Sejko, and suggest the loneliness and isolation of power. “A State Film” raises the question of how forms of propaganda have changed, while also forcing uncomfortable realizations as to how many of the classic tropes are still being rolled out today.

“A State Film” has been described as demonstrating “how the archive is not just a repository of images, but a tool for interpreting and rewriting history.”

Indeed, the chilling parade of carefully staged scenes does seem to transcend the framework of national history, and, as the director says, explore the function of the image in the political sphere, and its ability to create collective memory.

The Epic’ Draws Crossover Audience

The Epic’ Draws Crossover Audience

by jummy84 November 2, 2025
written by jummy84

S.S. Rajamouli (RRR) returned to U.S. theaters with Baahubali: The Epic drawing a crossover audience and an estimated $837.3k since midweek on circa 450 screens. Variance Films handled the U.S. release, working with producers Arka Mediaworks and marketing firm Walls & Trends.

Prathyangira Cinemas handled Canada.  

The film a new vision of the the two-part Baahubali series Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali: The Conclusion (2017) — the latter the highest grossing Indian film of all time in North America — remastered and edited into a single cinematic experience by Rajamouli. Clocking in at four hours, with intermission, the release kicked off Wednesday on 160 premium large format screens including Imax to sellouts at AMC Lincoln Square Imax and theaters across the country. A handful added midnight screenings that night for serious fans to meet demand.

The Epic expanded to 448 locations Thursday with 60+ PLF runs holding. It will continue to play through next weekend, after which  it will remain available on screens in a model Variance developed successfully with RRR, bringing it back after its initial run with an “encoRRRe” release that continues selling out theaters to this day and has added $1.5 million to the initial gross.

“S.S. Rajamouli movies are what movie theaters were built for, and sitting in the middle of the theater this weekend watching die-hard fans cheer their favorite moments while first-time viewers leaned forward to see what would happen next is as much fun as you can have at the theater,” says Variance president and founder Dylan Marchetti. He said the initial gross was a bit above internal projections.

Indian films are highly valued at the North American box office but often do 80% of their business with Indian audiences and families on the first day of release, then fall off dramatically. The audience for Baahubali: The Epic was roughly 10% to 15% non-Indian Rajamouli fans who liked RRR and heard about this latest on Letterboxd or other social media in a calibrated campaign that was also cognizant of not taking away from the core audience. Marchetti expects the road show, like RRR’s, to be almost exclusively non-Indian moviegoers.

In Baahubali, a legendary warrior emerges from humble beginnings to challenge powerful forces threatening his homeland, as ancient prophecies and family bonds shape his journey. It stars Prabhas in dual roles alongside, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ramya Krishna, Nassar, Sathyaraj, Subbaraju and Adivi Sesh.

RRR opened in March of 2022 to $9.5 million domestic, going on to gross over $15 million (and $166 million worldwide). It charged into multiplexes amid a dearth of new releases post-Covid, going on to win the Oscar for Best Original Score.

Other indies: Focus Features’ Bugonia by Yorgos Lanthimos grossed $4.8 million in a big week two expansion on 2,043 screens for a cume of $5.8 million. This is the best wide break to date for the director (The Favourite, Poor Things, Kinds Of Kindness). It’s Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomaotes with an 86% Critics Score and 83% Audience Score. B CinemaScore. Audiences were 61% male, 39% female with 39% ages 24-34. Around 53% were White, 24% Latino, 7% Black, 7% Asian and 6% Native American/other. Focus said it expects audiences to continue to find the Emma Stone-starring film in theaters despite an overall depressed marketplace.

Briarcliff’s animated family comedy Stitch Head opened to $2.1 million on 2,162 screens for a $2.5 million cume.

Anniversary from Roadside Attractions is eyeing an estimated 3-day gross of $259.2k on 809 screens.

IFC opened Ozark Mountains-set crime thriller Violent Ends in 700 theaters to $120k.

Neon’s Shelby Oaks grossed $770k in week two at 1,708 locations for a cume of $3.9 million.

Netflix New Releases: November 2025

by jummy84 November 2, 2025
written by jummy84

The end of the almost decade-long Stranger Things saga; the debut of Guillermo del Toro’s Oscar contender; an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at Eddie Murphy’s life; Joel Edgerton’s best chance for a best actor nomination; an epic samurai battle royale action drama; a prestige series starring Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys; Richard Linklater’s love letter to the French New Wave; and welcome return of Elmo and friends are among the highlights of the new film and TV series launching on Netflix in November.

November is a huge movie month for Netflix as awards season gets underway. Among the prominent new features the streamer is launching this month that are worth checking out is the Sean Baker-produced Taiwanese drama Left-Handed Girl (Nov. 28). But perhaps the most high-profile is Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation of Frankenstein, which hits the platform on Nov. 7. Starring Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz and Jacob Elordi as the monster, the feature debuted to rapturous acclaim at the Venice Film Festival, including a 14-minute standing ovation, and boasts a critic score of 85 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

Just like Frankenstein, Sesame Street is back from the dead. Launching on Nov. 10 on Netflix is all-new episodes of the long-running and beloved children’s TV show. The streamer came to the rescue in May by inking a deal with Sesame Workshop for new episodes of the long-running children’s show, just months after Warner Bros. Discovery opted not to renew its output deal for the program.

On Nov. 12, Netflix releases the doc Being Eddie, an intimate look at the life and career of comedy legend Eddie Murphy. Joining Murphy in the doc are Jerry Seinfeld, Arsenio Hall, Brian Grazer, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Jamie Foxx, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Jerry Bruckheimer, John Landis, Kenan Thompson, Kevin Hart, Michael Che, Ruth Carter, Tracee Ellis Ross and Tracy Morgan. Being Eddie is directed by Angus Wall and produced by John Davis, John Fox, Charisse Hewitt-Webster, Terry Leonard and Kent Kubena.

Two TV titans link up for Netflix’s new prestige series The Beast in Me that debuts on Nov. 13. Starring Emmy-winners Claire Danes and Welsh superstar Matthew Rhys, the eight-episode show is a dramatic thriller about a man named Nile (Rhys) — previously suspected of killing his wife — moves into a house near Danes’ Wiggs, a grieving author. Brittany Snow and Natalie Morales round out the main cast, along with guest stars Jonathan Banks, David Lyons, Tim Guinee, Hettienne Park, Deidre O’Connell, Aleyse Shannon, Will Brill, Kate Burton, Bill Irwin, Amir Arison and Julie Ann Emery.

Also on Nov. 13, Netflix releases action series Last Samurai Standing, a project that has the strong potential to be the breakout Asian hit for the streamer in November. A live-action TV series adaptation of the Japanese manga series written by Shogo Imamura, the logline for Last Samurai Standing reads: “Set in the late 19th century during the Meiji period, as the age of the samurai approached its end, Last Samurai Standing takes place at the Tenryuji Temple in Kyoto. Come nightfall, 292 samurai warriors gather, lured by the promise of a grand prize of 100 billion yen. Among them is our protagonist, Shujiro Saga (Junichi Okada), who enters this dangerous game with one goal: to save his ailing wife and child.”

On Nov. 14, Netflix debuts the prolific Richard Linklater’s latest feature project for the streamer, Nouvelle Vague. The Cannes-premiering dramedy is the filmmaker’s love letter to the highly influential French New Wave movement in cinema, and fictionally depicts the life of Jean-Luc Godard during the production of his classic film Breathless in 1959. The film stars Guillaume Marbeck as Godard, Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg, and Aubry Dullin as Jean-Paul Belmondo.

Nov. 21 sees the launch of another Oscar hopeful for Netflix, Clint Bentley’s period drama Train Dreams. The film stars Aussie actor Joel Edgerton as a man who builds railways in the 1900s in the Pacific Northwest, and is more a meditation on a rapidly changing America. The cast also includes Felicity Jones, Clifton Collins Jr., Kerry Condon and William H. Macy. After premiering at Sundance this year, the film has steadily racked up critical acclaim, and The Hollywood Reporter‘s awards editor predicts the film has a solid chance for recognition in the best picture, best director and best actor categories.

And on Nov. 26, is the debut of the first part of the final season of phenomenon Stranger Things, not only Netflix’s biggest November project, but undoubtedly the streamer’s biggest for 2025. We return to Hawkins, Indiana in the fall of 1987 as the no-longer-kids are confronted with Vecna, the ruler of the Upside Down, once more and prepare themselves for one final showdown.

Season five’s cast includes Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Brett Gelman, Priah Ferguson, Jamie Campbell Bower, Cara Buono and Amybeth McNulty.

Movies added to Netflix in November include Zodiac, Blue Beetle, Charlie’s Angels, Crazy Rich Asians, Dear Santa, Doctor Sleep, Don’t Worry Darling, Dr. Dolittle, Dr. Dolittle 2, Elvis, Frances Ha, Game Night, Happy Christmas, The Hangover, The Hangover: Part II, The Hangover: Part III, I Know What You Did Last Summer, In the Heights, Isn’t It Romantic, Judas and the Black Messiah, Just Mercy, The LEGO Movie 2:, The Second Part, Life of the Party, The Little Things, Merry Liddle Christmas, The Nun II, Ocean’s 8, Paddington 2, The Patriot, Ready Player One, Tenet, This Is the End, Tyler Perry’s A Madea Christmas, The Way Back and Wonka.

Channel 4’s Summerwater gets ominous first look with Harry Potter legend

Dougary Scott stars alongside Harry Potter legend Shirley Henderson (yes, Moaning Myrtle!) in the unsettling first look trailer at new Channel 4 drama Summerwater.

The new six-part Scottish drama is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by author Sarah Moss and boasts plenty of atmosphere in this promo, which airs on Channel 4 tonight (Sunday 2nd November 2025).

Summerwater has been adapted by Utopia scribe John Donnelly and is directed by TV crime drama veterans Robert McKillop and Fiona Walton.

The footage teases a non-linear narrative as a destructive event in a Scottish holiday park prompts questions about the dramatic lives of those in residence.

The official synopsis from Channel 4 reads: “Set predominantly at a remote loch-side Scottish holiday cabin park, Summerwater looks at the simmering tensions between holidaymakers that eventually erupt into a devastating climax.”

The synopsis continues: “Weaving together the lives of several families as they navigate unspoken conflicts, private dilemmas, and fleeting moments of beauty from their disparate cabins, the story flashes back to dramatic events in key characters’ lives before their holiday which may have consequences in the present.”

Channel 4 itself boasts that the show is “thrilling and compulsive” and “character-led”.

Could this be a classic whodunnit? Or something all the more disturbing?

Alongside Scott and Henderson, who are visible in the trailer, the drama also features performances from Blue Lights favourite Valene Kane, Showtrial’s Anna Próchniak, House of the Dragon actor Gabriel Scott, Vigil’s Anders Hayward, and The White Lotus season 3 actor Arnas Fedaravičiu.

We’ll have to see who is playing a guilty party when the drama finally arrives on our screens…

Summerwater airs on Channel 4 in November.
