Gotham premieres in just a few weeks, and FOX has been priming audiences for its Batman-themed crime series with various trailers, clips, and behind-the-scenes featurettes over the last month. The latest sneak peek at the series is the most comprehensive thus far, and offers quite a bit of new footage that appears to extend far beyond the pilot episode.

Gotham: The Legend Reborn is a 19-minute special produced by FOX that features interviews with both the cast and creative team for the series, as well as some new scenes featuring key players on both sides of law and order in Gotham. The special is broken up into four video segments, with the first focusing on the premise of the series and the time period in DC Comics mythology when it’s set. The second segment, titled “A City On The Edge,” focuses on Gotham itself and the precipice the city currently rests on in the battle between crime and justice.

A third segment, “Behind the Shadows,” focuses on the criminals and other less-than-heroic characters that are shaping Gotham into a city in need of a vigilante. This segment features some new footage of all the major villains featured in the series, as well as the indication that an origin for Joker may in the works during the series, too.

The final segment, “Heroes & Villains,” focuses on the dynamic between Detective James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and the Gotham Police Department and the rogues gallery that’s turning the city into a criminals’ paradise.

You can watch all four segments below, and see the premiere episode of Gotham when it airs September 22 on FOX.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
