Disney’s 2019 hit Frozen 2 will be coming to 4K UHD, Blu-ray, DVD, and digital storefronts very soon, but it will be a few months before it heads to Disney+, which will be this summer. And in addition to the feature film, the home release will be jam-packed with special features as well, including sing-alongs, deleted scenes, and more, which you can check out below.

On February 11, Frozen 2 will arrive to digital storefronts like iTunes, Vudu, Movies Anywhere, Google Play, and more. Then, on February 25, you can pick up physical copies on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD through various retailers.

In the latest Disney adventure, Frozen 2 explores why Elsa has magical powers, and she joins Anna, Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven on an adventure for answers. Frozen 2 stars Kristen Bell (The Good Place) as Anna, Idina Menzel (Uncut Gems) as Elsa, Josh Gad (Little Monsters) as Olaf, Jonathan Groff (Mindhunter) as Kristoff, and Evan Rachel Wood (Westworld) as Queen Iduna. The movie is directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee.

The Frozen sequel was a box office success, making $467 domestically, according to Box Office Mojo. Internationally, the film almost pulled in $1 billion, and globally, Frozen 2 made a grand total of $1.4 billion. Critically, Frozen 2 didn’t do as well, critically, compared to the first film. Frozen 2 scored a 64 on Metacritic (GameSpot’s sister site), while Frozen scored a 74. In his review on Variety, Peter Debruge said, “In a world where old-timers accuse the youth of being oversensitive snowflakes, Frozen II shows what it means to have one’s heart in the right place.”

Peters is one of three actors to have appeared in eight seasons of AHS. He first appeared in Season 1 as Tate Langdon, one of the ghosts living in Murder House, who is also the son of Constance Langdon. He bonds with Violet, the daughter of the Harmon family, who move into the house. Tate later returns during AHS: Apocalypse (Season 8). In Season 2 – Asylum, Peters played Kit Walker, a man who was abducted by aliens then admitted to Briarcliff Manor.

In Season 3 – Coven, Peters portrayed Kyle Spencer, a college student who dies in a bus accident and is then resurrected by Madison and Zoe. Peters then played Jimmy Darling aka Lobster Boy in Season 4 – Freak Show. In Season 5 – Hotel, Peters played the charming yet sadistic James Patrick March, the original designer of the Hotel Cortez.

Season 6 – Roanoke brought us Peters’ performance as Rory Monahan, the actor that played Edward Philippe Mott in the documentary “My Roanoke Nightmare”. Peters played one of his largest roles in Season 7 – Cult, as cult leader Kai Anderson. And finally in Season 8 – Apocalypse, Peters appeared as four different characters throughout the season – Mr. Gallant, Jeff Pfister, Tate Langdon and James March.

Sonic the Hedgehog speeds into theaters in just a few short weeks, and advance tickets are now on sale through popular ticket services including Fandango and Atom Tickets. The adaptation starring the classic video game hedgehog (voiced by Ben Schwartz) and Jim Carrey releases on February 14, so you can lock in your Valentine’s Day plans early.

Sonic’s dash to theaters has hit a few speed bumps–most notably the uproar over his original design, which caused a delay and a completely redesigned (and much better looking) Sonic.

Sonic the Hedgehog is expected to post pretty strong opening weekend numbers, with estimates ranging from $40-47 million. Though numbers in that range would place it below last year’s video game adaptation hit, Detective Pikachu, it would mean Sonic the Hedgehog would snag the second highest opening weekend for a video game adaptation.

The movie’s delay may have fixed the Sonic you’ll see in theaters, but the ghost of the original design still lingers in some of the official movie merch. Even the adorable Baby Sonic looks like a mix between new and old in plush form.

The new Netflix sci-fi show October Faction is the latest cult comic book to be adapted for the screen. It’s based on the comic by Steve Niles and Damien Worm and focuses on a pair of married monster hunters who return to their hometown with their teenage kids after a family death. Now showrunner Damian Kindler has spoken about adapting the comic book to the screen.

Talking to Screenrant, Kindler explained that prior knowledge of the comic was not necessary to watch the show. “I think it’s really important to note that, by design, if you have not read the comic book, you can completely enjoy the series,” he said. “In fact, I was very aware that, while there are some very hardcore fans of Steve Niles and his work, there are a lot of people who have not read his work. It’s a bit more niche; it’s not like Watchmen or any DC/Marvel stuff.”

In addition, Kindler stated that even when changes to the story were made, it was all with Niles’s blessing. “There’s nothing worse than taking a work that an author’s done a great job with and then running off a cliff with it,” he said. “I wanted to make sure that he approved of every liberty I was going to take with it, and he did. He was very appreciative and very supportive, and he absolutely loved everything we did with it. So, it wasn’t just ad hoc; it was done with the best of intentions and good support.”

Kindler also revealed that making the show for Netflix–where every episode is released at once–changes the approach to the way it is written that on a regular series. “This is one story told in ten chapters that keeps the plot really moving and changing,” he said. “And also, in a way, the first season is an origin story that tees up the format of the show, almost like season 1 is the origin story of what ends up being the October Faction. As opposed to starting with, ‘We’re a team of monster people.’

“I liked backing it up and showing everybody how everything got started, rather than just diving in and saying, ‘Well, here we are. We’re doing this.’ I wanted to have a more interesting origin to the whole thing.”

October Faction Season 1 is now available on Netflix. For more, check out GameSpot’s look at the best movies and shows to watch on Netflix in February, plus our guide to the biggest upcoming shows of 2020.

From Night of the Living Dead to The Shining, there are few things scarier in horror movies than being trapped in an isolated location, unable to escape from something that wants to kill you. It’s exactly that primal fear that the upcoming horror movie The Lodge looks set to mine. The movie releases next month and a new trailer has been released.

Like The Shining, The Lodge uses an impenetrable winter as its setting. A man named Richard, his new girlfriend Grace, and his two kids head to a remote cabin for the winter. But when he is forced to leave for work on short notice and blizzard descends, the children find themselves trapped in the house with a woman they barely know–who, inevitably, is not all she seems. Anyone who saw directors Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala’s last film, the terrifying Goodnight Mommy, will know that they don’t mess around when it comes to delivering seriously scary modern horror. Check the trailer out below.

The Lodge stars Mad Max: Fury Road’s Riley Keough as Grace, plus Jaeden Martell, Lia McHugh, and Richard Armitage. It hits theaters on February 7.

Like Goodnight Mommy, The Lodge puts two children in the center of its scary story. In a recent interview with Deadline, Fiala spoke about the reason that he and Franz uses kids in their films. “We feel it makes horror films very interesting if they involve kids, because kids are always deemed innocent, in a way,” he said. “We don’t like horror films where just one guy is the bad guy, and it’s very obvious. We’re more interested in… shades of gray.”

“Working with kids, we really enjoy, because we feel filmmaking can be exhausting, or at some points, also boring,” he continued. “But with kids, it’s less predictable. Some fun and some spontaneous energy enters the film, which is something that we really appreciate.”

While the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+ has yet to be given a premiere date, it might end up taking every longer to debut than originally expected. According to a new report, work on the show has been put on hold for an indefinite period of time.

The news comes from Collider, which reports that the crew for the series that was preparing to film at London’s Pinewood studios has been sent home with no timeframe on when the series will be moving forward. As for why it’s delayed, Collider cites rumors of Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy being unhappy with the scripts written thus far. Sources tell the outlet that production could potentially kick off this summer, but there’s no guarantee.

If true, this wouldn’t be the first time a Star Wars project has faced a creative setback in recent years. Both Rogue One and Solo were reworked during production. In Solo’s case, Ron Howard took over the job of directing the film from Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Most recently, The Rise of Skywalker was originally to be directed by Colin Trevorrow, before he was replaced by JJ Abrams.

The Obi-Wan project was previously revealed to be set eight years after the Star Wars prequels and the character’s duel with Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith, which ended with his former Padawan’s transformation into Darth Vader. Ewan McGregor, who played the character in Episodes I-III, is set to reprise the role. Deborah Chow, who directed Episodes 3 and 7 of the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, is signed on to serve as executive producer and showrunner of the series.

The Mandalorian will return later in 2020 for Season 2. Meanwhile, Star Wars: The Clone Wars will debut a new season on Disney+ on February 21.
