Warner Bros. has confirmed that Bong Joon Ho's highly anticipated follow-up to 'Parasite' will arrive in theaters on March 29, 2024. The science-fiction film 'Mickey 17,' adapted from Edward Ashton's novel 'Mickey 7,' stars Robert Pattinson as an expendable employee on a dangerous colonial mission to the ice world Niflheim. The director, who made history at the 2020 Academy Awards with four wins for 'Parasite,' both wrote the screenplay and reunited with composer Jae-il Jung for the score. The ensemble cast includes Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo, with Plan B Entertainment producing.

Meanwhile, Hulu's hit mystery-comedy 'Only Murders in the Building' is preparing a significant location shift for its sixth season. The streaming series, which has centered on a true-crime podcasting trio in a New York apartment building, will relocate its core cast to the United Kingdom for a storyline dubbed 'Only Murders in London.' Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez will reprise their roles as Charles, Oliver, and Mabel, with the new season premiering December 8 and releasing new episodes weekly on Tuesdays. Tina Fey returns as podcast host Cinda Canning, whose latest case draws the trio across the Atlantic.
Both announcements reflect broader trends in premium entertainment: established auteur filmmakers continuing to secure theatrical windows for original sci-fi concepts, and streaming platforms leveraging successful franchises with format refreshes to sustain viewer interest across multiple seasons. The 'Mickey 17' date positions it in a traditionally quieter spring corridor, while the 'Only Murders' London pivot follows a pattern of anthology-style reinvention seen in other long-running mystery series.
