Like many of you, I’ve been eagerly awaiting to see director Scott Derrickson’s new installment in terror, The Black Phone, which is now out On Demand, VOD, and streaming on Peacock. The Black Phone centers on “Finney Shaw, a shy but clever, bullied, 13-year-old boy abducted by a sadistic killer and trapped in a soundproof basement where screaming is of little use.

Vince Gillian, who wrote for “The X-Files,” “Breaking Bad,” and “Better Call Saul,” is currently working on a new upcoming, still untitled, series with Sony. Deadline reports that the show will have a “Twilight Zone”/”X-Files” feel, which isn’t surprising due to the fact that Gillian wrote for both series. Deadline reports, “Word is that the new show harkens back to Gilligan’s tenure on The X-Files. But don’t expect a sci-fi drama — when he was a writer-producer on The X-Files, Gilligan was known for focusing more on the human condition in his episodes, which is something he is said to also be doing in his new series, exploring similar themes of bending reality while holding a mirror to humanity.” “Described as a blended, grounded genre drama, the new series also is being compared to The Twilight Zone,” the report continues. “It is said to be set in our world while putting a tweak on it, focusing on people and exploring
