The following are some expectations of movies to keep you awake:

• Sick (January 13th): A Peacock’s original, the film opens with friends quarantining during COVID–  but they are not alone in this pandemic. It features Gideon Adlon and is written by the director of Alone. 
• The Offering (January 13th): Inspired from Jewish folklore, The Offering takes place from the perspective of the son of a Hasidic funeral director  and his pregnant wife, reuniting with his father. As their visit continues, they find out they have awoken an ancient evil that is targeting their unborn child.
• Knock at the Cabin (February 3rd): M. Night Shyamalan’s next film has been described as a home invasion horror movie that takes place during the apocalypse and will star Guardian of the Galaxy‘s Dave Bautista, Mindhunter‘s Jonathan Groff, and Harry Potter‘s Rupert Grint. Knock At The Cabin will be another original from the filmmaker behind The Sixth Sense and Glass trilogy.
  
• Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey (February 15th):After the trending trailer of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, the movie is expected to have a twist on a nostalgic Disney animation. Now in the perspective of a serial killer, Winnie and his accomplice Piglet are on the hunt for  Christopher Robin, newly a college freshman,  who has abandoned them.

Mary Grace Nash (12) expects for Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey to be, “Controversial, because they are turning a children image into something darker and twisted.”

• Cuckoo (September 29th): This movie’s plot is currently not released, but of the information known the cast includes Hunter Schafer, Dan Stevens, and Jessica Henwick.

  

Freeridge is an upcoming Netflix’s upcoming series, and a spinoff of their previous show On My Block. Starting where the first series ended, a new friend group, Gloria, Ines, Demi, and Cameron, will continue the legacy of the original characters Jamal, César, Ruby, and Monse, but unleash a curse bringing dark misfortune into their lives. With the first episode being released on February 2nd, many anticipate a similar story with more laughter and more drama plots.

Adele Politz (12) said,”I am super excited for the new spinoff! I used to watch On My Block when it first came out so I can’t wait to see the plot.”

After the multiple publicized songs and albums of 2022, this year includes over fifty albums/songs from artists such as Metallica, Gorillaz, Paramore, Sam Smith, Mac Demarco, Lana Del Ray, and many more. Possible collaborations include Taeyang ft. Jimin, Meek Mill ft. Lil Uzi Vert, Bizarrap ft. Bad Bunny, Manuel Turizo and Coldplay, and a multitude more.
