We’re learning more about the upcoming sixth and final season of The Handmaid’s Tale.
The final chapter of the Emmy-winning Hulu series originally was to begin production in 2023 for a fall 2024 premiere, but that schedule, of course, was delayed by the strikes. In an interview with Deadline, Disney Television Group President Craig Erwich, who oversees content for Hulu Originals, said the sixth season now is set to begin production this summer for premiere in 2025. The series was renewed for its sixth and final season in September 2022, just ahead of its Season 5 premiere.
Season 5 follows June (Elisabeth Moss) in the aftermath of Commander Waterford’s (Joseph Fiennes) murder and the consequences she must face for her role in the gruesome slaying. At a minimum, she will have to face off with his widow Serena (Yvonne Strahovski), and on some level Gilead. But mainly, she will be forced to redefine her identity and purpose,...

Tales of musicians who sold their soul for fame are common enough, Crossroads, Trick or Treat, Dark Roads 79 and The 27 Club are just a few examples. The Devil Went Down to Islington is a little different, however. It tells the tale of a music teacher who makes a Faustian bargain while drunk, only to panic when he realizes what he’s done.
It actually opens like a bizarre action film with Father Crowley using switchblade crosses to fight a pair of masked figures who are attacking a panicked man. He defeats them, but in the end Satan claims another soul.
John Robertson Has had a morning from hell, and he hasn’t even sold his soul yet. He fails to save his cat from the garbage truck, then an Ofsted inspector shows up,...

A decent spoof is notoriously difficult to pull off – and despite some fun moments, this low-budget comedy horror is more trick than treat
There is something a bit exasperating about Daniel Wilson’s low budget comedy horror about a north London teacher who drunkenly sells his soul to the devil over a kebab. It’s a cheerful spoof that looks like everyone involved had lot of fun making. But in the end it feels too silly to be scary, with too few laughs to be properly funny. It also scores a grade F for its female characters.
That said, comedian Spencer Brown is likably daft as John, a failed indie guitarist who teaches music in a London school (he’s possibly less mature than most of his teenage pupils). John’s problems begin when his cat gets chomped by a recycling truck. Then he’s arrested for supplying class As to a pupil.
