We’re not far from the Super Bowl now, as the big game is set to go down on February 9. Now is about the time that the commercials start being shared online, and today (January 23), Taco Bell has unveiled their new Doja Cat-starring spot.
The ad starts by showing off a “Drive-Thru Cam” set-up at a Taco Bell location, which a voiceover explaining, “This year, Taco Bell is making fans the stars of their big game ad, not celebrities.” As this is happening, a couple in the drive-thru poses for a photo, and when they look at the shot, they notice they got photo-bombed by Doja.
An employee then chastises Doja, saying, “For the last time: No famous people!” Doja fires back, “I want to be in this ad!” They bicker band and forth before Doja eventually gives up and leaves… or rather, hides in the bushes.
Peter Sutherland is back in action. Night Action, that is.
The second The Night Agent season is now streaming on Netflix, and the story will take Gabriel Basso’s out-of-the-basement operative to Bangkok and New York City. Sure, there are a few D.C.-based scenes as well, but in contrast to the first season, Peter’s new assignment is very off-the-books. Until it isn’t.
Don’t worry, though. If you crave longer streaming TV seasons, then Peter’s return will gift a substantial amount of time to you, compared to other current ultrapopular spy series.
How Many Episodes Are In The Night Agent Season 2?
For this new season, The Night Agent remains committed to delivering 10 episodes. A third season will also surface, although Netflix hasn’t yet revealed if the same tradition will continue.
As hinted above, Peter’s lengthy assignments stand in contrast to The Diplomat‘s recent six episode season that riled people up due to the finale’s seemingly abrupt ending (but will continue with an eight-episode third season). Netflix’s Black Doves and Apple TV+’s Slow Horses also favor the six-episode structure, but Peter goes long. That’s simply his thing.
This series also delivers forgivably complicated plots, so that the “longer” seasons don’t feel padded, and of course, this second season somehow includes plenty of Rose (Luciane Buchanan) despite the parting of ways for the doomed couple in the first season finale. Maybe that’s because Peter won’t stop answering the phone, even when he manages to successfully go AWOL.
The Night Agent‘s second season co-stars Brittany Snow, Teddy Sears, Arienne Mandi, and Amanda Warren, and be sure to carve out plenty of weekend time if you plan to binge.
In the announcement video, Lamar can be seen talking on the phone while walking the field at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, where the Super Bowl is being held this year. “You know this field a lot bigger than people think so that’s a must,” he says. “Exactly. Nah, I been thinking about a guest performer.” The clip then cuts SZA pouring blue Gatorade on Lamar as “Hey Now” from GNX plays.
You can watch the video from Apple Music above.
What song will SZA and Lamar perform together? “30 For 30” from Lana? “Luther” from GNX? Or going further back, “All The Stars” from the Black Panther soundtrack? We’ll find out on February 9, followed by the kick off of the Grand National Tour in April.
“Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date,” Lamar (who previously appeared alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Mary J. Blige during the Super Bowl LVI halftime show) said in a statement when he was announced as the headline performer last year. “And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one.”
The nominations for the 97th Academy Awards (a.k.a. the Oscars) were revealed this morning, and Ariana Grande earned a nod thanks to Wicked. As for how this honor stacks up to getting a Grammy nod, Grande would prefer not to say.
In a new interview with Variety shared today (January 23), Grande was asked if getting an Oscar nomination for her work on Wicked is “better than getting a Grammy nomination,” and she responded, “Oh my goodness. I’m burying my head in my tissue box. [Laughs]. Um… next question.”
Grammy nominations are certainly nothing new for Grande: She’s racked up 18 so far and earned two wins. Meanwhile, Grande’s new Best Supporting Actress nomination is her first-ever Academy Award consideration.
Meanwhile, Grande also reacted to her Oscar nomination with an Instagram post earlier today, the full text of which can be found below.
“picking my head up in between sobs to say thank you so much to @theacademy for this unfathomable recognition. i cannot stop crying, to no one’s surprise. i’m humbled and deeply honored to be in such brilliant company and sharing this with tiny ari who sat and studied Judy Garland singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow just before the big, beautiful bubble entered. i’m so proud of you, tiny.
thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for this acknowledgement @theacademy.
thank you @jonmchu for taking this chance on me and for being the most unbelievably brilliant leader, human being, and most fierce friend. i am so deeply proud of my beautiful Wicked family. i am so proud of my Elphie, my sister, my dear @cynthiaerivo. your brilliance is never ending and you deserve every flower (tulip) in every garden. i love you unconditionally, always.
i don’t quite have all my words yet, i’m still trying to breathe. but thank you. oh my goodness, thank you. Universal, Marc, my family, my heart.
Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. If you’re a hardcore sneakerhead you probably already know that January is famously a dead zone for new releases, so if you’ve unplugged from all things sneakers we’re here to catch any notable release from falling under your radar.
While January is a slow time for sneaker drops, one of this week’s releases is the latest six-sneaker Doernbecher Freestyle collection, so while we considered that one big release, feel free to consider that six separate releases, which means technically this list features 11 different sneakers!
It’s like we’re in the midst of summer! In truth, while the drops are scant this week, there are still some notable releases that are definitely worth your cash.
Here are the best sneakers dropping this week. Let’s dive in.
New Balance 1906A Great Plains/Sea Stone/Vintage Indigo
New Balance has been relatively quiet so far this year, and in terms of big collaborations or premium offerings, it’s going to stay that way for some time. But that isn’t to say New Balance isn’t still working on its core line. This week brings a new set of colorways for the 1906A silhouette. It’s not an ALD or Joe Freshgood’s release, but even without the big names, this is still a great design.
The sneaker features a lightweight mesh upper with synthetic overlays, with ACTEVA LITE midsole cushioning, and three eye-catching colorways, including Great Plains, Sea Stone, and Vintage.
The New Balance 1906A is out now for a retail price of $169.99. Pick up a pair at New Balance.
If you’re looking for a luxurious take on the Jordan 5 that is minimal enough to go with just about any fit, look no further than this week’s Jordan 5 Golden Ticket.
This women’s exclusive features a creamy white leather upper with chocolate accents at the midsole, throat, and branding, with a metallic gold sharktooth and tongue. It’s the closest the Jordan 5 has come to the quiet luxury trend.
The Women’s Air Jordan 5 Golden Ticket is out now for a retail price of $200. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
Air Jordan 11 Retro Low “Year of the Snake” Summit White and Football Grey
2025 is the year of the snake, so like every year, we’re going to get a bunch of Lunar New Year-themed sneakers. But unlike, say the year of the dog, the year of the snake offers sneaker brands to use this opportunity to roll out snakeskin-like fabrics, like on this Jordan 11 “Year of the Snake.”
This sneaker features a leather upper with faux snakeskin overlays over a full-length Nike Air cushion, and a contoured mudguard. While the sneaker is mostly dressed in tones of white, the snakeskin overlays bring in a nice contrasting pop of color that strangely looks more colorful the longer you look at it.
The Air Jordan 11 Retro Low “Year of the Snake” Summit White and Football Grey is out now for a retail price of $210. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.
Like the modern comfort and shape of Devin Booker’s signature sneaker, but love the classic look of the legendary Nike Cortez? Well, this week there is a sneaker tailor-made just for you.
We’re not sure who asked for this, we imagine it was Book himself, but regardless, we’re happy it’s here.
The Book 1 Cortez takes the classic look and colorway of the Nike Cortez (aka the shoe of LA) and applies it to the modern shape and comfort of the Book 1. It’s one part workwear, one part functional performance-oriented b-ball sneaker.
The Nike Book 1 Cortez White and Varsity Red is set to drop on January 24th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $140. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.
James Harden’s latest release from Adidas is giving us heavy cyborg vibes. The sneaker features a textile and synthetic upper over a BOOST midsole equipped with Lightstrike cushioning and a lightweight fit designed to keep your court game moving fast.
What I particularly like about this rendition of the Volume 9 is the way the metallic sheen has a sort of warm aura to it. Metallic sneakers can often look cold, but this one is straight up radiating heat.
The Adidas Harden Volume 9 Cyber Metallic is set to drop on January 25th at 12:00 AM PST for a retail price of $160. Pick up a pair at Adidas.
Every year Nike teams up with the Portland-based Doernbecher Children’s Hospital for a special collection of sneakers made in collaboration between Nike’s design team and some of the hospital’s young patients. Some of those designs gain legendary status. So you may be looking at a future classic!
This year we’re getting new takes on the SNDR, Air Max DN, Pegasus 41, Jordan 6, Sabrina 2, and Air 180. Each sneaker brings something interesting and fun to the table, but our favorite is Connor’s Air Max DN.
The Nike Doernbecher Freestyle 2025 Collection is set to drop on January 25th at 12:00 AM PST for a retail range of $130-$185. Shop the collection here or at aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.

With her new album The Breeze Grew A Fire coming out next month, R&B singer-songwriter Mereba shared the video for single “Phone Me.”
“This song is a sisterhood/friendship anthem dedicated to those classic bestie friendships that may have changed over the years, but are still cherished deeply,” Mereba said about the single. “The experiences we shared helped us shape our journeys and have confidence in our destinies. I just wanted a fun, joyful song celebrating my chosen sisters and brothers.”
For The Breeze Grew A Fire, Mereba said she went “back to me being on my own for the creation of a lot of the songs, and it was really important for me at this time of life because I was a little disconnected from the world, and from who I was. So I was trying to find my way back to myself first. What do I like? What do I want to hear? What do I want to say to people now?”
You can watch the video for “Phone Me” above, and check out Mereba’s tour dates below.

New Selena Gomez music might be on the way, per an Instagram Story she posted yesterday (January 22).
The video starts with the camera on Gomez before she swings it around to reveal a home studio setup with a computer monitor (strategically covered by a heart emoji) and audio equipment. She then puts the camera back on herself and gives a happy smile.
Fiancé Benny Blanco also shared the video on TikTok, and in response to a comment that says “When ur producer is also ur husband,” Blanco wrote, “when ur wife is also selena gomez.”
Notably, this comes after Gomez has expressed over the past few months that music isn’t her top priority. In a September interview, Gomez called music “just a hobby that went out of control,” but immediately followed that by saying, “Now it is a part of who I am, so I don’t think I’m going anywhere.”
Then, when asked in November about making a new album, she said, “We’ll see, you never know.” Later that month, she said in a different interview, “Music isn’t going away. I just set it down for a second.”
Now, though, Gomez appears to at least be exploring the idea of actively making new music. Perhaps her recent engagement to super-producer Blanco has inspired her to start looking back in that direction again.
Sundance serves as a heat check for the coming year in film, debuting indies that go on to earn Oscar buzz and bigger budget projects that make their way to streaming platforms by year’s end. In other words, if you want to get a jumpstart on your moviegoing plans in 2025, Sundance is your crystal ball. And sure, you could head to snowy Park City to catch glimpses of A-listers like Ayo Edebiri, Josh O’Connor, Bowen Yang, Dev Patel, and more, or you could enjoy the magic of cinema from the comfort of your own home.
This year a slew of film premieres are being made available to the public as the fest rewards fans with online streamings of its most-promising titles. You can head here to grab your tickets, but first, here’s a round-up of films we’re especially excited for. Add them to your list and check back here for more coverage in the weeks ahead.
Sundance
Atropia
Imagine if HBO’s Westworld was a satirical takedown of America’s military-industrial complex. You’d likely arrive at Atropia, both the title of first-time director Hailey Gates’ bizarre, fascinating love story and the name of the city constructed on the outskirts of L.A. that her film revolves around. In Atropia, aspiring actors play pretend war games while real-life soldiers serve as insurgents and the lines blur between reality and fiction, morality and amusement, ambition and narcissism. Alia Shawkat and Callum Turner play the two lovers trapped in this Black Mirror-esque simulation where nothing is as it seems… or smells.
Bubble and squeak
Bubble & Squeak
Writer-director Evan Twohy takes what would normally make for fairly dramatic fare – a vacationing couple illegally smuggling goods across the border – and injects just the right amount of ridiculous into the proceedings to give audiences a wildly funny, surprisingly sharp rom-com. The Last Station’s Himesh Patel and Barry breakout Sarah Goldberg play the couple in question while the illicit items they’re transporting on holiday turn out to be cabbages – a garden vegetable banned by the nondescript country they’re visiting. When a gung-ho customs officer – Matt Berry putting his locutionary prowess to good use – decides to chase them down, the cracks in their marriage become chasms.
Sundance
Bunnylovr
Katarina Zhu writes, directs, and stars in this searingly sensitive drama about a cam girl searching for connection in a broken, often dangerous, world. Zhu’s Rebecca has always maintained strict boundaries with her online clientele but when she reunites with her dying, estranged father, the divide between personal and professional becomes blurred. Can intimacy ever be real when it’s commodified? Rachel Sennott plays Rebecca’s no-bullshit best friend while Hit Man’s Austin Amelio plays one of Rebecca’s more questionable cam fans.
Sundance
By Design
“A woman swaps bodies with a chair, and everyone likes her better as a chair.” The logline for this absurdist comedy starring Juliette Lewis should be enough of a hook, but writer-director Amanda Kramer promises to deliver more than just surface-level funny with her unforgiving examination of societal norms and how they affect our interior selves. But yes, Lewis cosplays as a chair and strikes up a relationship with the musician in whom’s apartment it (she?) sits. And yes, this whole strange experiment is narrated by Melanie Griffith. What more could you want?
Sundance
Love, Brooklyn
A love letter to New York that centers on a trio of Brooklynites navigating their changing city – and how that transformation bleeds into their personal lives – Love, Brooklyn is propped up by a masterful cast that includes Andre Holland, DeWanda Wise, and Nicole Beharie. Holland plays the free-spirit of the group, constantly challenged by the women in his life – Wise (a single mother attempting to date) and Beharie (an ambitious gallery owner wanting more from their life together).
Sundance
Plainclothes
Tom Blyth and Russell Tovey team up for this thrilling (at times, uncomfortably so) tale of an undercover police officer whose secret life is put in jeopardy while on assignment. Blyth’s Lucas is a young cop eager to prove himself. His chance comes when he’s tasked with luring and arresting gay men, a job that proves especially difficult when he falls for one of his marks (Tovey). A commentary on police surveillance and our inability to confront our own desires, the film plays with mediums, using lo-fi VHS footage to bring an authenticity that only heightens the tension for audiences.
Sundance
Train Dreams
The success of Taylor Sheridan’s universe and Peter Berg’s American Primeval prove that streaming audiences are clamoring for more historical fiction that reexamines the myth of the American West. Train Dreams does that – thrusting us back to the turn of the 20th century as Joel Edgerton plays Grainier, a day laborer helping to build a cross country railroad. But director Clint Bentley turns things introspective, using Grainier’s vantage on the cusp of making history to question our brief existence and how lasting of an impact one person can truly make.
Sundance
Twinless
Writer-director-actor James Sweeney crafts a bittersweet comedy centering on two grieving men seeking comfort in the strangest of places. Sweeney and co-star Dylan O’Brien play men who meet at a twin bereavement group and embark on a co-dependent friendship that pushes both to some uncomfortably funny places.
World Premieres
Sundance
Lurker
Saltburn breakout Archie Madekwe plays an on-the-rise pop star who befriends a retail worker (Théodore Pellerin) while escaping a rabid horde of fans. Their unexpected friendship pushes Pellerin’s character to some dark places as he fights to keep his spot within a celebrity’s entourage. What would you do to stay fame-adjacent?
Sundance
Opus
Ayo Edebiri plays an unsuspecting journalist invited to cover the decades-in-the-making return of an eccentric pop star in this darkly comedic thriller that grows more disturbing with every minute. John Malkovich plays Moretti, a musical icon who disappeared from the public eye only to launch a comeback 30 years later. How? By inviting his cultish fans and industry friends to convene at his desert compound for a listening party from hell.
Sundance
Rabbit Trap
Welsh folklore. Haunting children. ’70s era mysticism. This horror movie from Bryn Chainey has a bit of everything, all made better by the talents of Dev Patel as a withdrawn husband and Rosy McEwen as an avant-garde musician searching for inspiration in the wilderness. The usual nightmarish hijinks ensue when the couple stirs up ancient spirits with an axe to grind but hey, good art requires sacrifice, right?
Sundance
Rebuilding
An (unfortunately) timely portrait of loss, grief, and the heartwrenching exercise of rebuilding amongst the ruins, Max Walker-Silverman’s drama sees Josh O’Connor playing a rancher tasked with helping his family heal after a devastating fire wipes out their way of life. Meghann Fahy and True Detective’s Kali Reis join the Challengers star to give this Americana-set tragedy a more grounded feel.
Sundance
The Wedding Banquet
First, Andrew Ahn took us to Fire Island for a modern-day rom-com that gave Pride and Prejudice a Queer makeover. Now, he’s tackling another rite of passage, trading summer romance for wedding bells with a remake of Ang Lee’s 1993 comedy. Bowen Yang plays a man in need of a green card, and Kelly Marie Tran is his best friend willing to guarantee his citizenship by way of marriage. But things get complicated when his grandmother decides to throw a traditional, completely over-the-top ceremony that makes everyone – especially Yang’s long-term boyfriend – uncomfortable.
Tamino had the privilege of opening for Mitski on her tour, and now they’ve gone ahead and hopped on a song together: Today (January 23), they share a new duet, “Sanctuary.”
Tamino explains in a statement:
“Two weeks before our scheduled studio session, I had doubts about whether the current song was suitable enough for a duet. I teamed up with my friend Alessandro Buccellati (SZA, Arlo Parks) at my place in New York City, where, in the wake of my doubts, we wrote the music of ‘Sanctuary’ in a few hours. The next morning I wrote the lyrics, recorded a small demo, and sent it to Mitski, who loved it and, like me, preferred it to the other song. I asked her if she thought changes in the lyrics were necessary, but she liked it as it was. Two weeks later she came to the studio, where she wrote beautiful harmonies and recorded her part in half a day.”
The song comes from Tamino’s upcoming album, Every Dawn’s A Mountain, which is set for release on March 21. Per a press release, the project “is about loss, displacement, breaking up and letting go of the past.” Tamino also notes that despite “Sanctuary” being “a bit of an outlier,” he “can’t imagine this record without it.”
Listen to “Sanctuary” above, and find the Every Dawn’s A Mountain cover art and tracklist below.

Each week our staff of film and television experts surveys the entertainment landscape to select the ten best new/newish shows available for you to stream at home. We put a lot of thought into our selections, and our debates on what to include and what not to include can sometimes get a little heated and feelings may get hurt, but so be it, this is an important service for you, our readers. With that said, here are our selections for this week.
Stephanie Hsu, who really should have won the Oscar over her Everything Everywhere All at Once co-star, is joined by Zosia Mamet in the new series Laid. The “f*cked up rom-com” is about a woman who finds out that her former lovers are dying in unusual ways, and must go back through her “sex timeline” to figure out what the heck is going on.
Netflix’s most-watched show ever is back. Squid Game season 2 sees the return of Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae), a.k.a. Player 456, who has only one goal: to end the horrifying competition for good. This time, Gi-hun finds himself “locked in a tense battle” with the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun), as well as trying to survive against the other competitors. Squid Game is the rare water-cooler show in the “death of the monoculture” era. Keep up if you want to know what your co-workers are talking about.
Written and directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda (Shoplifters), Asura is a family drama set in 1979 about about four sisters — Tsunako (Rie Miyazawa), Makiko (Machiko Ono), Takiko (Yu Aoi), and Sakiko (Suzu Hirose) — who discover that their dad is having an affair. It’s being called 2025’s “first great new TV show.”
Noah Wyle? As a doctor? It’s crazy enough to work. This time, the ER star works in a hospital in Pittsburgh, and the show is “a realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in today’s America as seen through the lens of the frontline heroes.” The entire 15-episode first season takes place over the course of one 15-hour emergency room shift, not unlike 24.
For a while there, Taylor Kitsch was everywhere. He went from playing hunk with a heart of gold Tim Riggins on Friday Night Lights to starring in two big-budget films, John Carter and Battleship, as well as a prominent role in Oliver Stone’s Savages, all released in 2012. But when all three films underperformed and/or were met with scorn from critics (justice for John Carter!), Kitsch stopped being The Next Best Thing. But now he’s back with his biggest part in years: American Primeval, a gritty, gloomy limited series set in the American frontier during the 1800s. The cast also includes the great Betty Gilpin, Kim Coates, and character actor favorite Shea Whigham.
Now in its fifth season, Harley Quinn shakes things up by moving the action from Gotham to Metropolis, which means the introductions of characters like Lena Luthor, Brainiac, and Red X. But one thing that hasn’t changed is the excellent voice cast, including Kaley Cuoco as Harley Quinn, Lake Bell as Poison Ivy, Alan Tudyk as Joker and Clayface, Ron Funches as King Shark, J.B. Smoove as Frank, and James Adomian as scene stealer Bane.
Sebastian Stan received career-best reviews for his performance in A Different Man, in which he plays Edward, an inspiring actor who undergoes a radical medical procedure to transform his appearance. But his dream turns into a nightmare when he loses out on the role he was born to play to the uber-confident Oswald (Adam Pearson), who has the same genetic condition he once had. A Different Man is a surreal, thought provoking, and inventive film.
A Real Pain — which appeared on numerous Best Movies of 2024 lists — finds cousins David (played by Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (Golden Globes winner Kieran Culkin) reuniting for a tour through Poland to honor their beloved grandmother. But the journey takes a turn when old tensions resurface.
After a long, long break, one of the best shows on TV is back. Severance picks up where season 1 left off, with Mark (Adam Scott), Helly (Helly Riggs), Dylan (Dylan), and Irving (Irving Bailiff) trifling with the severance barrier, “leading them further down a path of woe,” according to the cryptic Apple TV Plus synopsis. There are so many mysteries left to answer: what’s the deal with Ms. Casey (Dichen Lachman)? What’s the deal with Seth Milchick (series MVP Tramell Tillman)? And seriously, what’s the deal with the freaking goats?
Sleep is one of the final film appearances from South Korean actor Lee Sun-kyun, who rose to international fame for his performance in Parasite. In this horror-thriller, he plays Hyeon-soo, who recently got married to Soo-jin (Jung Yu-mi). One night, she discovers that her husband is sleepwalking, and potentially posing a violent threat to himself — and their newborn baby.
Created by Girls Trip writer Tracy Oliver, Harlem follows four friends, Camille (played by Meagan Good), Tye (Jerrie Johnson), Quinn (Grace Byers), and Angie (Shoniqua Shandai), on the “precipice of change like never before,” according to Prime. “Whether it be motherhood, singlehood, sisterhood, complicated career journeys, or even more complicated families, our stylish and ambitious best girlfriends strive to choose themselves above all else.”
Best Animated Feature at the 2025 Oscars is unusually stacked. Inside Out 2 is the frontrunner considering how much money it made, but honestly, it’s probably the weakest of the nominees. Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is a delight, obviously, while the beautiful and heartbreaking Flow is my personal favorite. But don’t sleep on The Wild Robot, a charming critical and commercial hit from Lilo & Stitch co-director Chris Sanders about a robot learning to adapt to their surroundings in the great outdoors. It’s very good.
Gladiator II wasn’t a Best Picture-winning smash hit like 2000’s Gladiator, but it has its moments. And by moments, I mean Denzel Washington vamping it up, Paul Mescal in a lil’ gladiator outfit, Joseph Quinn and Fred Hechinger’s insane and sickly-looking emperors, and the shark battle in the Colosseum. Even a mid-tier Ridley Scott movie is better than most movies.
Fresh off his performance as f*ckboy Jack in The White Lotus, Leo Woodall stars in Apple TV+’s Prime Target. Created by Sherlock and Doctor Who writer Steve Thompson, the thriller follows Edward Brook, a brilliant young mathematician who teams up with a government agent to unravel a troubling conspiracy. Here’s one mystery we’ll never get an answer to: why isn’t Prime Target on Prime Video?
The Night Agent season 1 premiered in 2023 and quickly became one of Netflix’s biggest shows ever. Now it’s back for season 2, which picks up with Peter Sutherland (played by Gabriel Basso) as a certified Night Agent. Per Netflix: “But working in the secretive organization [will] propel Peter into a world where danger is everywhere and trust is in short supply.” You can check out the exciting trailer here.
