After "It" and "The Crow" comes another scary role for Bill Skarsgård, who is a terrifying Count Orlok in the new version of the 1922 German classic. Exactly how scary he looks cannot be shown because the film company has refused to release images of him in full mask in advance to maximize the surprise effect in the cinema. Nicholas Hoult, Willem Dafoe, and Lily-Rose Depp, who are also in the cast, are affected in different ways by the bloodthirsty count.

The beloved characters Wallace and Gromit are back with a new adventure and an old villain from before appears. The evil penguin Feathers McGraw was first seen in the short film "Wrong Trousers" 30 years ago. But when Wallace this time thinks he can make money with a kind of "smart robot" to help him at home, Feathers McGraw shows up again with malicious plans.

The double murder in Linköping in 2004 shocked Sweden – and proved to be difficult to solve. It took 16 years before the police could arrest the man who murdered an 8-year-old boy and the 56-year-old woman who tried to save him. The breakthrough came first thanks to genealogical research with the help of DNA. Peter Eggers plays the police officer who takes the help of DNA expert Peter Sjölund (Mattias Nordkvist) to solve the case.

Harlan Coben is a viewer favorite on Netflix. No less than eight miniseries based on the American crime writer's books are already available on the streaming service. In this new British miniseries, police officer Kat (Rosalind Eleazar) discovers her fiancé Josh (Ashley Walters) on a dating app. Strange, since he disappeared without a trace eleven years ago.

After getting her big breakthrough in the dystopian "Fallout" last year, Ella Purnell plays a serial killer in her new satirical comedy series. Rhiannon's dad is the only one on her side. Otherwise, she is ignored by the family, bullied by old schoolmates, and humiliated at work. When her dad – and her dog – die, Rhiannon begins systematically murdering people who have annoyed her.
