THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER – J.J. Abrams‘ new feature that stars Glen Powell is among the titles getting a release date from Warner Bros.

The studio announced release plans Friday for a number of forthcoming films, including the official confirmation that the title of Abrams’ movie is The Great Beyond. The movie hits theaters Nov. 13 and stars Powell, Jenna Ortega, Emma Mackey, Sophie Okonedo, Merritt Wever and Samuel L. Jackson.

The Great Beyond marks Abrams’ first directorial effort since 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Abrams and Tommy Gormley serve as producers on the project that has not yet shared plot details.

Writer-director Sam Esmail‘s Panic Carefully, which The Hollywood Reporter has previously described as a paranoid thriller, is now set to hit theaters Feb. 26, 2027. The cast includes Julia Roberts, Eddie Redmayne, Brian Tyree Henry, Ben Chaplin, Aidan Gillen, Joe Alwyn, Naledi Murray and Elizabeth Olsen. Esmail and Roberts produce alongside Scott Stuber, Chad Hamilton, Marisa Yeres Gill and Lisa Gillan.

Slated to hit theaters that summer is director Tim Miller‘s untitled feature that stars Keanu Reeves. THR previously reported on the sci-fi movie that Miller (Deadpool) is helming from a script by Ian Shorr. Matthew Vaughn, Aaron Ryder, Andrew Swett and John Zaozirny serve as producers on the feature that has been dated for Aug. 13, 2027.

Additionally, the studio announced it will release The Conjuring: First Communion in theaters Sept. 10, 2027. Rodrigue Huart is directing from a script by Richard Naing and Ian Goldberg. A cast has not yet been revealed for the latest installment in the New Line Cinema horror franchise from producers James Wan and Peter Safran.

The most recent film from the Conjuring universe was The Conjuring: Last Rites, which was released in September and became the series’ highest-grossing entry.

DEADLINE – Chad Powers will get to finish out his electric season with the South Georgia Catfish after all.

Hulu has renewed the Glen Powell-led comedy series Chad Powers for a second season, the streamer revealed Wednesday. Powell is returning as the titular character.

The series is based on the ESPN and Omaha Productions segment “Eli’s Places,” where Eli Manning disguised himself in prosthetics to participate in a walk-on tryout at Penn State.

In Season 1 of Chad Powers, co-created by Powell and Loki scribe Michael Waldron, Powell’s disgraced former Oregon star quarterback Russ Holliday tries to redeem himself eight years after he nuked his football career by disguising himself as Chad Powers, a talented oddball who walks on to the struggling South Georgia Catfish.

The Season 1 finale left off on somewhat of a cliffhanger, as Chad and the Catfish took the field to face the Georgia Bulldogs and, for the first time, just might win. At the same time, the walls are closing in on Russ as his secret identity threatens to reveal itself at any moment.

The final scene was shot during a real Georgia Bulldogs football game, and Waldron previously told Deadline he intends to continue trying to incorporate as much authentic SEC football as he can in future seasons. He also says he and Powell want to tell the story “pretty much in real time,” meaning that Season 2 is likely to pick up soon after the events of the first season.

Chad Powers, which debuted on September 30, quickly landed at No. 34 among Luminate’s Top 50 streaming shows for that week with nearly 1.6M hours viewed for just one episode. The following week, it rose to No. 19 with 2.2M hours viewed across two episodes. It reliably remained on Luminate’s rankings throughout its six-episode run.

In addition to Powell as both Chad Powers and Russ Holliday, Season 1 also stars Perry Mattfeld as Ricky, Quentin Plair as Coach Byrd, Wynn Everett as Tricia Yeager, Frankie A. Rodriguez as Danny and Steve Zahn as Coach Jake Hudson.

Executive producers for Chad Powers are Powell, Waldron, Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, Jamie Horowitz, Ben Brown, Burke Magnus, Brian Lockhart, Kati Fernandez, Adam Fasullo, Luvh Rakhe, and Tony Yacenda. The series is produced by 20th Television.

Season 1, which premiered in the fall, is streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.

In theaters February!
