When Amy Hennig first teased her story-driven Marvel project back in 2021, fans of her work on the Uncharted series were immediately intrigued. After all, this was the creative mind behind Nathan Drake’s globe-trotting adventures, now taking on the Marvel universe. The possibilities seemed endless.

Fast forward to 2024, and Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra has evolved from a mysterious tease into one of the most anticipated games of 2025. Under Hennig’s direction at Skydance New Media, this World War II-era adventure promises to blend cinematic storytelling with Marvel’s rich universe in ways we’ve never seen before.

As new details continue to emerge about this ambitious project, it’s becoming clear that Hennig isn’t just making another superhero game—she’s making something that draws from her deepest passions as a storyteller and game creator.

The “intrigue” behind Marvel...

Skydance and Marvel Games' Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is a World War II-set adventure revolving around newly created versions of Captain America and Black Panther.

The title, overseen by the Uncharted franchise's Amy Hennig, could be the most cinematic superhero video game to date. The reveal trailer which dropped earlier this year pointed to that being the case, though we are still waiting to see some gameplay footage.

Ahead of the game's planned 2025 release, Entertainment Weekly caught up with Hennig who said, "It led us to do a bunch of interesting things, one of which was to not only tell a story with a young Steve Rogers who's still trying to find his feet, as opposed to the more seasoned guy that we've seen in a lot of the films. It also let us introduce a new Black Panther of 1943."

"It led us to tap into all the things that I love,...

Unprisoned has been canceled.

On Friday (Sept. 27), star Kerry Washington announced that Hulu had canceled the series after two seasons.

“Ladies & Gents, that is a wrap on Unprisoned. This beautiful show that we poured so much of our hearts and souls into is unfortunately not coming back for a Season 3,” Kerry, 47, wrote on Instagram. “But I wanted you to hear it from me because while we’re super duper disappointed, we’re also crazy deeply grateful. Making this show was a labor of love. And we know that so many of you found connection and healing with The Alexander Family – and that their impact will live on!”

“UnPrisoned” has been canceled after two seasons at Hulu, star and executive producer Kerry Washington revealed on Friday.

“Ladies & Gents, that is a wrap on ‘UnPrisoned.’ This beautiful show that we poured so much of our hearts and souls into is unfortunately not coming back for a Season 3. But I wanted you to hear it from me because while we’re super duper disappointed, we’re also crazy deeply grateful,” Washington wrote in a lengthy post on X. “Making this show was a labor of love. And we know that so many of you found connection and healing with The Alexander Family — and that their impact will live on! We are soooooo grateful to the entire cast and crew — who are not only brilliant and hardworking, but a Joy to work with!”

“Thank you to our fellow producers and all our writers and directors for leading and guiding and inspiring us.

“UnPrisoned” has been canceled after two seasons.

The show aired as part of the Onyx Collective brand on Hulu. Series star Kerry Washington made the announcement on her official Instagram account.

“Ladies & Gents, that is a wrap on Unprisoned,” Washington wrote in part. “This beautiful show that we poured so much of our hearts and souls into is unfortunately not coming back for a Season 3. But I wanted you to hear it from me because while we’re super duper disappointed, we’re also crazy deeply grateful.”

“Thank you to Abcs, Hulu & Onyx for giving us a creative home,” she continued. “And most importantly, we are grateful to You All – for watching, laughing, crying, yelling, dancing, eye-rolling, cheering (and all of the things between) along with us each episode.”

Her full statement can be read below.

“UnPrisoned” starred Washington, Delroy Lindo, Faly Rakotohavana, Marque Richardson, Jordyn McIntosh, and Jee Young Han.

The second season of UnPrisoned finds Paige, Edwin, and Finn still navigating their family dynamics in the aftermath of Edwin’s time in prison. Creator Tracy McMillan draws from her own experiences in crafting this moving portrait of a family striving to reconnect despite past mistakes and traumas.

Paige is a therapist who helps others while struggling to manage her own anxieties. Viewers see her vulnerable side through Kerry Washington’s nuanced performance. Edwin, too, is coping with his return to the outside, played brilliantly by Delroy Lindo. Their young son Finn deals with his own pressures, as portrayed with insight by Faly Rakotohavana.

This season sees the family reconnect while seeking counseling from an eccentric new therapist, John Stamos. His unorthodox methods create humor but also drive home challenging truths. Through it all, the heart of the show remains Paige, Edwin, and Finn’s commitment to healing old wounds together.

When the Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo dramedy UnPrisoned debuted as Onyx Collective’s most-watched Hulu premiere in March 2023 and became the most-watched original scripted series of the year, a second seasoned seemed like a sure bet. Yet renewal news for the Tracy McMillan-created show of which Yvette Lee Bowser is executive producer and showrunner, came later than fans, and perhaps even the cast, anticipated, with the writers and actors strikes delaying the green light until November of last year.

“Getting a season two is such a dream come true on any show, but to live through the strike and be able to be together felt like we’d really survived something,” lead actress and executive producer Washington tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I think we’re even more grateful, more appreciative. And as a producer, there was a different level of support for the writers room. Kind of a...

UnPrisoned is back for a second season of shenanigans, humor, heartfelt moments and more. The Hulu and Onyx Collective series debuted in March 2023 with eight episodes and high ratings for an Onyx Collective premiere.

Based on the life of creator Tracy McMillan, the series follows Paige Alexander (Kerry Washington) as she welcomes her dad Edwin (Delroy Lindo) back into her life after his release from 17 years in prison for dealing drugs. The last season began on Edwin’s release day, and the story continued because Paige decided to let him live with her and her teenage son Finneas (Faly Rakotohavana).

Paige’s inner child (Jordyn McIntosh) also helps her through tough spots in her present life.

UnPrisoned Season 2 is coming soon, and there is a new first look at the new season with John Stamos and Kerry Washington. UnPrisoned premiered in 2023 as a comedy starring Washington as a woman who faces past trauma when her father (Delroy Lindo) is released from prison after 17 years.

Here is a look at what fans can expect from UnPrisoned Season 2.

UnPrisoned Season 2 First-Look Released

In an exclusive clip for UnPrisoned Season 2, Paige (Washington) attends therapy with her father Edwin (Lindo) and her son Finn (Faly Rakotohavana). This session has some interesting results, and Paige is not happy to know what the therapist Murphy (John Stamos) is planning for them to face their issues.

This scene also plays out in the first trailer, as Murphy tells them, “[I can heal you] if that’s what you want. Is that what you want? Because you have to really want it. A lot of people can’t.

Well, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is definitely on the way and is set to change Marvel’s bad luck in games other than the Spider-Man brand. The game is being developed by Skydance New Media and is inspired by the 2010 comic book limited series Captain America/Black Panther: Flags of Our Fathers.

In addition to its interesting story, the game will offer a movie-like graphical experience with Unreal Engine 5. Some even believe that the shared in-game scenes are not real. Fortunately, we have a statement from an actor who is part of the game’s cast, debunking these rumors.

Skydance New Media’s World War II Marvel game has finally got a title: Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. Not only that, it has also got a release window and a first trailer. The game is based on the Marvel superhero characters, Captain America, Black Panther, and two other characters.

The characters of Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra

Skydance and Marvel Games announced the game back in 2021 (via Deadline) and officially teased in 2022 (via Game Informer). The trailer of the game is rather promising as it sees Captain America and Black Panther in a face-off. This is not the first time the two characters have shared the screen in the Marvel Universe, but this is certainly the first time that they will come together like this.

Khary Payton portrays the World War 2-era's Black Panther, Azzuri, who uses stealth tactics to fight Hydra. Drew Moerlein plays Captain America, who is tracking Black Panther, leading to a confrontation between the two heroes. Megalyn Echikunwoke plays Nanali, a Wakandan spy in Occupied France. Marque Richardson plays Gabriel Jones, a member of the Howling Commandos.

Skydance New Media revealed its first story trailer for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra as part of Epic’s “State Of Unreal” presentation at the 2024 Game Developers Conference (Gdc). The title had previously been announced with a teaser trailer in 2022, at the Disney & Marvel Games Showcase, but the newer story trailer has provided a better look at the game's key characters and has given some insight into their mission through Occupied France during World War 2.

After swinging through New York City streets with Spider-Man and building monster decks in Marvel Snap, all while waiting to pop our claws in Insomniac’s Wolverine, Skydance Media unveiled its trailer for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, an action-adventure game bringing two of the greatest heroes together for one impossible mission.

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra comes from award-winning game director and writer Amy Hennig, the talent behind games like Jak 3 and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Her latest interactive gaming experience finds Captain America and Black Panther coming to blows despite fighting the same enemy, Hydra. You can play as Cap and Black Panther in the game alongside Gabriel Jones, a U.S. soldier and member of the Howling Commandos, and Nanali, a Wakandan spy, as part of the mix. All characters feature different move sets and abilities throughout the explosive journey into enemy territory.

Slave narratives felt like horror stories long before "Antebellum" combined its Civil War setting with the themes of a story like "Get Out." But the makers of the 2020 film do want to make one thing clear: While "Antebellum" certainly doesn't shy away from the horrors of the era, it's not actually a slave movie.

That may feel counterintuitive for a film that seems to revel in its gruesome setting. With its first act, "Antebellum" answers an age-old, horrifying hypothetical: "What if the South won the Civil War?" It drops us face-first into what could be a parallel reality, one where white supremacy reigns. It'd be easy to write "Antebellum" off as a slave movie based solely on what's happening on the surface — but a closer look reveals a handful of anachronisms sprinkled throughout the Antebellum-set film. Slaves bear tattoos and nose piercings; the spirituals they sing while picking cotton...

In our Q&a series Popsugar Crush, we get to know some of our favorite celebs' more intimate details - from their perfect date night to their best love advice. This month, we're crushing on "UnPrisoned" star Marque Richardson.

Marque Richardson almost let imposter syndrome talk him out of starring in his new hit show, "UnPrisoned." Despite finding success in Netflix's "Dear White People" as the beloved Reggie Green (a role he played on TV for four seasons and in the 2014 movie), the 37-year-old actor tells Popsugar he wasn't sure he could "take up space" next to seasoned stars like Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo, aka his "Mount Rushmore of actors," in their Hulu series.

"I was like, I want to work with people that I love, respect, appreciate, and I'm not saying yes to anything else until those ducks are aligned."

The trio star together in their true-life-inspired dramedy,...

Hulu's new drama Unprisoned is inspired by a true story, although the comedic conceit at its core might be impossible for some to believe. Therapist and influencer Paige Alexander (played by Kerry Washington) finds herself in need of relationship advice and conflict resolution when her father Edwin gets out of jail after a 17-year stint and needs to stay in her home. To make matters more complicated, her son Finn (Faly Rakotohavana) is at a precarious age where the right kind of adult guidance is necessary.

Unprisoned comes from the mind and life of creator Tracy McMillan, who is herself an author and relationship expert. Though it is her first time as a showrunner, she draws from her own experiences and fears in order to portray Paige's struggles with both heart and humor. The series also stars Jordyn McIntosh as a young version of Paige, Marque Richardson as Edwin's parole officer Mal,...

Hulu's "UnPrisoned" is the unconventional father-daughter story we've yet to see on television, but it's a necessary watch that speaks to a lot of real-world topics. The heartwarming dramedy - created and executive produced by Tracy McMillan - premiered on the streamer on March 10, introducing viewers to a "messy but perfectionist relationship therapist and single mom" named Paige (played by Kerry Washington), "whose life is turned right-side-up when her dad, [Edwin], (Delroy Lindo) gets out of prison and moves in with her and her teenage son, Finn (Faly Rakotohavana)."

"UnPrisoned" takes a half-serious look at the after-effects of America's criminal justice system, mixing humor and heart to address a reality McMillan tells Popsugar many people face every day.

Tracy McMillan, the creator and executive producer of Onyx Collective/Hulu’s newest dramedy “UnPrisoned,” says she didn’t create the series as a “favor” for the audience, but rather as an outlet to work through her own trauma.

While Paige’s father’s (Delroy Lindo) transition out of incarceration establishes the show, viewers eventually peel back even more layers of her life, which involves traumatic memories from prison visits and living in foster homes.

Hulu's new dramedy Unprisoned may be full of laughs, but the issues at its core are serious.

Unprisoned is creator Tracy McMillan's first time helming a series, which is particularly special as it is based on her personal experiences.

Unprisoned focuses primarily on how father and daughter overcome their strained relationship and adjust to daily life, but the series also incorporates an ensemble cast of family members and friends with stories of their own. Faly Rakotohavana plays Paige's son Finn, Jee Young Han plays her foster sister Esti, Jordyn McIntosh plays a younger version of Paige, and Marque Richardson (Dear White People) plays Edwin's parole officer Mal.

The scripted series, which stars Lindo, Kerry Washington, Marque Richardson, Faly Rakotohavana and Jordyn McIntosh, is created by Tracy McMillan and inspired by her life. The half-hour comedy follows the life of a messy but perfectionist relationship therapist and single mom whose life is turned right-side-up when her dad gets out of prison and moves in with her and her teenage son.

1. “Sex Education” Season 3 (available September 17)

Why Should I Watch? If you’ve yet to discover Laurie Nunn’s charming, sex-positive Netflix series, then you’re about to have a fantastic September. Starring Asa Butterfield, Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa, and Gillian Anderson, “Sex Education” starts out as a show about Otis (Butterfield), the teenage son of a sex therapist (Anderson), who opens his own in-school counseling practice to help his fellow awkward students better understand their various wants and desires. Helped by his bad-girl crush Maeve (Mackey) and cheery best friend Eric (Gatwa), Otis may get in over his head from time to time — he may have the book smarts gleaned from his expert mother, but not the requisite experience — but his heart (and the show’s) is always in the right place.

Bonus Reason: Nunn’s hourlong episodes carry all the intelligence of their top-tier dramatic peers, but the teen romances,...

Netflix's dramedy Dear White People took a brand-new direction for its third season, and it seems season four will be no different. On Aug. 17, the streamer released the official trailer for its upcoming new season, which is set to premiere on Sept. 22. Season four will serve as the show's final run and it will include 10 episodes that'll be in the form of a '90s-inspired musical as the group gets ready for graduation.

"Set against the backdrop of senior year at Winchester as well as a not-so-distant, post-pandemic future, Dear White People Vol. 4 finds our characters looking back at the most formative (and theatrical) year of their lives," the show's synopsis reads. "Both an Afro-futuristic and 90s-inspired musical event, Dear White People Vol. 4 is a can't-miss, farewell experience with one pitch-perfect promise: sometimes the only way to move forward is to throw it back."

Dear White People stars Logan Browning,...

Dear White People takes the musical route for its fourth season, as revealed in the new trailer that Netflix released on Tuesday. The show returns Wednesday, September 22nd to the streaming platform.

Vol. 4 sees the students returning to the Winchester campus in a post-pandemic world, where the future of their lives remains uncertain. Unlike previous seasons, Dear White People Vol. 4 frames its story as a musical, all while the characters prepare for an in-universe musical to take place at the end of the semester. It initially seems like all fun and games,...

Netflix released a trailer for “Dear White People: Vol. 4,” the musical final season premiering Sept. 22, revealing that at least a portion of the season will take place in the future, while the rest will be set during the usual gang’s senior year.

In the trailer, which you can watch below, Sam White (Logan Browning) wears a highly-fashionable face mask and sits across from Lionel (DeRon Horton) as they reminisce over their senior year, when they took part in a ’90s-themed musical, titled “The Varsity Show.”

“Don’t you want that feeling back?” she asks.

Clips of their senior year show the musical moments are not relegated to the stage, with Troy (Brandon B. Bell), for example, doing his best LL Cool J in his dorm, while Reggie (Marque Richardson) sings “Virtual Insanity” at a gun range. But it isn’t all fun and games, as a new Black student...

“This is how we do it!” The cast and crew of “Dear White People” are kicking it old school with the final season of their Netflix original series, and Vol. 4 is looking a lot like the 1990s. The streaming giant announced over the summer that Justin Simien’s television adaptation would end with Season 4, and earlier this month, audiences got their first glimpse at what was going to be a musical-themed goodbye.

The first trailer for the season certainly emphasizes that music will be sung almost everywhere, whether it’s in the halls of Winchester University or on stage, where it’s traditionally housed. But the desire to return to the past for some is met with just as much urgency to forget about it by others. As the trailer shows us, the jubilant ’90s musical comes under fire from a younger generation of Ivy League students.

Netflix announced the final season of “Dear White People” will launch Sept. 22 and be a musical season.

“The only way to move forward is to throw it back,” a teaser for the season previews. From there a cover of Montell Jordan’s “This Is How We Do It” kicks into gear.

The teaser also shows the students getting ready to dance, with snapping of hands and getting into formation to perform Jordan’s 1995 hit. There is an Afro-futuristic and 1990s-inspired dance floor, as the students of the fictional Winchester University look back on their time on campus amid their final year.

“Dear White People,” an extension of the film of the same name by Justin Simien, deals with issues of race, class and sexuality on that college campus. Logan Browning’s Sam White hosts a radio show within the series that is also titled “Dear White People” and is where...
