Pop culture is a never-ending world of updates, teases, trailers, and hopefully releases. What’s New Wednesday is Dorkaholics’ way to keep us all up to date with what’s new across comics, TV, film, games, and more! This week, the focus is on Dang!, Last Seen, Primetime, and Digger.
- Dang! – Trailer
The writers of Silicon Valley are now working on an animated comedy series that focuses on a trio of siblings living in New York City as the eldest daughter’s life is in disarray (as a result of her own doing) and her young brother and sister are there to show her how to live a not-so-perfect life. The Dang siblings are voiced by Stephanie Hsu (Joy Ride, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Laid), Poppy Liu (I Love Boosters, The Afterparty), and Andrew Law (writer on The Brothers Sun, Hacks, Silicon Valley, and now Dang!).
Release Date: On Netflix on September 8, 2026
Synopsis: DANG! follows a brother and sister duo whose fun, messy lives in New York City are interrupted when their worst nightmare comes true: their high-achieving older sister shows up and wants to hang out with them.
- Last Seen – Trailer
If you can handle the heartbreaking nightmare of having a child go missing (think Expats), then Apple TV has you covered with Last Seen. The series stars Patrick Brammall who recently appeared in The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Release Date: On Apple TV on September 9, 2026
Synopsis: Police detective Ian Ridley’s life fell apart 11 years ago when his young daughter, Maggie, disappeared without a trace. Now working as a police dispatcher, the only thing that has kept him going is his implacable refusal to accept that she might be gone forever. When he receives a distress call from a teenage girl he is certain is Maggie, he will stop at nothing to find her and reunite his broken family, whatever the cost.
- Primetime – Trailer
Robert Pattinson seamlessly transforms himself into the iconic Chris Hansen in this film about the To Catch a Predator host. And it’s not just a visual shift, but the mannerisms and vocal delivery that cements it all together.
Release Date: In theaters on September 25, 2026
Synopsis: In 2006, To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen sets out to make television history.
- Digger – Trailer
Tom Cruise undergoes a Christian Bale in Vice-like metamorphosis as he trades his Mission Impossible body known for death-defying stunts in for a potbellied figure that clearly reminds me of Bale’s Cheney in Vice. The film feels more in line with director-writer Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s past work Birdman as a black comedy and appropriately timed with our current reality as Cruise plays an egomaniac convinced he can save us despite being the reason our world may end.
Release Date: In theaters on October 2, 2026
Synopsis: The most powerful man in the world embarks on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity’s savior before the disaster he’s unleashed destroys everything.
