The News That Matters

Five Star Wars films arrive in 3D on Disney+ for Meta Quest headsets

What’s new: Since Tuesday 10 November, Disney+ subscribers with a Meta Quest 3 or Quest 3S can stream more than 60 films in 3D through the updated Disney+ app, The Walt Disney Company and Meta announced
The Star Wars titles: The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker, Rogue One and The Mandalorian and Grogu, Polygon reported. Marvel films including the Avengers series, Pixar titles and the Avatar films are also on the list
Something extra: The app now has themed virtual viewing rooms, so you can watch from a spot on Tatooine, atop Avengers Tower or on the Scare Floor from Monsters, Inc. The older Quest 2 is not supported, and Disney says the experience comes to Meta’s VR Glasses when they launch in spring 2027
UK availability: Disney and Meta say “select countries” only, but FlatpanelsHD reports that users have confirmed the 3D films are working in the UK, the US and Japan. A Disney+ Premium subscription is needed

It is a fun way to revisit the sequel era, and Polygon suggests A New Hope could join the 3D line-up in time for its 50th anniversary in February. For more from a galaxy far, far away, catch up with our latest Star Wars News and the Mandalorian and Grogu art book news.

James Graham confirms the BBC’s Sherwood will end with series 3

What’s new: Writer James Graham said the third series of his Nottinghamshire drama will be its last, speaking on the first episode of Sky’s new show Backstory with Cathy Newman, Deadline reported. “We’ve finished it, we’ve edited it, and it will be the last series, and it will be out in January, February time,” he said
Who’s in it: David Morrissey and Lesley Manville star, with Monica Dolan, David Harewood, Lorraine Ashbourne, Robert Lindsay and Perry Fitzpatrick. House Productions makes the series
What Graham does next: He plans to turn his West End and Broadway play Punch, adapted from Jacob Dunne’s memoir and also set around Nottingham, into a TV series
UK availability: Series 3 is expected on the BBC and BBC iPlayer in January or February 2027; the BBC has not confirmed a date

The first series, inspired by the legacy of the miners’ strike and two killings in an East Midlands town, was a big hit for the BBC, and the second, inspired by the region’s gang wars, ended to acclaim and strong ratings in 2024. Ending on three gives Graham the chance to close the story his way.

Robert Eggers’ Werwulf gets a very hard R rating in the US

What’s new: The Motion Picture Association has rated Focus Features’ Werwulf R for “strong bloody/disturbing violent content, gore, sexual assault, graphic nudity and strong sexual content”, Bloody Disgusting reported. Eggers has called it his darkest film yet
The story: In 13th-century England, a mysterious creature stalks the land as local folklore becomes a terrifying reality. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe, Ralph Ineson and Bodhi Rae Breathnach star
In the US: Out in US cinemas on Christmas Day, with 35mm screenings in selected cinemas
UK availability: In UK cinemas from Friday 1 January 2027 (Focus Features and Universal). The UK certificate has not yet been announced

That rating suggests Eggers is not holding back on the wolf. You can watch the second trailer in our Werwulf Trailer Drop, and we reported its two-hour running time in our 1 November Morning News.

Joel McHale, George Lopez and Jade Pettyjohn are trapped in horror film Junkyard

What’s new: Jade Pettyjohn (#AMFAD: All My Friends Are Dead), George Lopez (Blue Beetle) and Joel McHale (Scream 7) will star in survival horror Junkyard, Deadline reported
The story: Sam (Pettyjohn) and her misfit friends trespass into a remote scrapyard to find something she has lost, and end up fighting for their lives against a pack of trained guard dogs controlled by the mysterious owner (Lopez). McHale plays a corrupt sheriff who makes things even worse
Behind it: Dan Riesser (Stomping Ground) directs from a script he wrote with Mike L. Kinshella. Filming starts in Atlanta in the spring
UK availability: UK date not yet confirmed

It is Lopez’s first full horror role, and casting McHale as another sheriff, so soon after Scream 7, feels like a knowing wink to horror fans.

Ari Aster produces Guy Maddin’s The Confessions, starring Alexander Skarsgård and Hunter Schafer

What’s new: Alexander Skarsgård, Hunter Schafer, Maya Hawke and Harry Melling will star in The Confessions, the next film from Canadian trio Guy Maddin, Galen Johnson and Evan Johnson, Variety reported. Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen’s Square Peg (Midsommar, Bugonia) produce
The story: Described as a “cautionary psycho-dramedy”, it follows a group of condemned nuns who witness the cursed, globe-spanning love triangle of a missing sea captain and his poet wife
Behind it: It follows the trio’s Cannes political satire Rumours, with Cate Blanchett. Scythia Films (The Witch) also produces, and the film is being sold to buyers at the American Film Market
UK availability: No UK distributor or date yet

Maddin’s films are gloriously strange, and Aster says The Confessions is “as singular and beguiling as anything they’ve ever written”. Schafer is also in Prime Video’s Blade Runner 2099, which arrives this month.

Julianna Margulies leads MGM+’s Gilded Age drama The American Heiress, filming in the UK

What’s new: MGM+ has ordered an eight-part series of The American Heiress, based on the 2011 novel by Daisy Goodwin, the writer behind ITV’s Victoria, Deadline reported. Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife, Paradise) stars
The story: In 1893, Isabella Cash (Margulies) brings her daughter Cora to England to get the one thing she cannot buy at home: a title. After a hunting accident, Cora wakes up in Lulworth Castle, home of the Duke of Wareham, and all her certainties are tested
Who’s making it: Catherine Morshead, Sandra Goldbacher and Edward Hall direct. Fifth Season and MGM+ Studios co-produce, and filming begins in the UK this month
UK availability: It will premiere on MGM+ in the UK as well as the US; no date yet

With castles, titles and transatlantic money, this sounds like a natural choice for anyone missing The Gilded Age or Downton Abbey.

Movieversalfilm Takeaway

The sequel trilogy in 3D is a treat for Quest owners, but the bigger news for British viewers is that Sherwood is coming to an end, with its final series due early next year. Horror fans have plenty to look forward to too, from Eggers’ uncompromising Werwulf on New Year’s Day to a scrapyard full of guard dogs.
