Today Food Network airs an all-new episode of Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking. The competition blends imaginative storytelling with fantastical edible creations. The series is hosted by James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley). They are joined by culinary judges Carla Hall and Jozef Youssef. The series, which was produced at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, was filmed against the backdrop of Warner Bros. Studio Tour London: The Making of Harry Potter, featuring some of the original sets from the films.

In tonight's episode, with special guest Warwick Davis, the remaining teams enter the magical world of Gringotts Wizarding Bank to face off in three different head-to-head competitions where they will be asked to make three-foot showpieces inspired by Gringotts.

Recently, contestant and pastry chef Jordan Pilarski spoke with SciFi Vision about the competition, from designing showpieces with partner Zoe Burmester - including tonight's piece, the chandelier from Gringotts Bank - to his favorite Harry Potter film, and much more.

Hysteria!, which premiered last month on Peacock, takes place in the late 1980s amidst the backdrop of the “Satanic Panic.” When a varsity quarterback’s disappearance sparks fear of occult activities in Happy Hollow, three outcast teens in a struggling high school heavy metal band decide to capitalize on the hysteria by branding themselves as a Satanic group. Their plan to become popular backfires when a bizarre series of murders occur, turning them into prime suspects in a town gripped by fear and paranoia.

In a recent interview with SciFi Vision, Bruce Campbell, who’s known for his iconic role as Ash in the Evil Dead franchise, talked about his role in the series as small-town police chief Ben Dandridge, shared insights into his extensive career in both horror and comedy, recounted working on big budget films with Sam Raimi, and much more.

Yesterday, the new series, Interior Chinatown, which was adapted from Charles Yu’s award-winning novel, premiered on Hulu. The series follows Willis Wu, a background actor trapped in the repetitive world of a television production. Constantly relegated to serving tables in “Black & White,” Willis harbors deep aspirations to break free from his current limitations. His life dramatically shifts when he becomes an inadvertent witness to a crime, an event that not only challenges his existing circumstances but also exposes a network of criminal activity and long-buried family secrets, all while he is discovering what it feels like to be spotlight for the first time.

In a recent interview with SciFi Vision, actors Archie Kao and Tzi Ma discussed their roles in the Hulu series.

Archie Kao plays Uncle Wong, who runs the Golden Palace restaurant in Chinatown and is Willis and Fatty’s boss. “I take it upon myself to see this community that lives in Chinatown as my responsibility in a lot of ways to kind of protect their welfare,” said the actor, emphasizing Uncle Wong’s protective nature towards his community, despite sometimes appearing thorny.

Interior Chinatown premieres today on Hulu. The series, which was adapted from Charles Yu’s award-winning novel of the same name, is set in the world of a television production and follows Willis Wu, a background actor in a police procedural called Black & White. Stuck in the motions of his on-screen job waiting tables, Willis dreams of a life beyond Chinatown where he is the lead in his own story. His life takes a dramatic turn when he inadvertently witnesses a crime, uncovering a web of criminal activity and family secrets, all while experiencing the spotlight for the first time. Using a unique storytelling approach that blends meta-commentary with personal drama, the series explores the dynamics of racial representation, personal ambition, and the struggle to define one’s identity beyond societal expectations in the entertainment industry.

In a recent interview with SciFi Vision, Lisa Gilroy and Sullivan Jones shared insights into their roles in Hulu’s Interior Chinatown. Both actors portray exaggerated versions of stereotypical cops. Gilroy humorously mentioned her inspiration, saying, “I think of Mariska Hargitay all the time, every day and every night, no matter what I’m doing.” On the other hand, Jones drew from Clint Eastwood’s iconic presence for his role. “I thought about Clint Eastwood, just kind of being in control and [his] penetrating eyes and always like, just the rugged man's man,” said Jones.

Cross, which recently premiered on Prime Video, is a gripping new series based on James Patterson's best-selling Alex Cross novels. The series, created by showrunner and executive producer Ben Watkins, follows Aldis Hodge as Cross, a detective and forensic psychologist who is able to dig into the minds of victims and their killers in order to identify and capture murderers, all while grappling with the trauma of his wife's death.

Watkins recently spoke with SciFi Vision, sharing some insights on adapting Patterson’s novels. Creating a series of eight episodes as opposed to a film allowed for deeper character exploration alongside a complex thriller plot, according to Watkins. “I went back into the books and realized there are elements of the books that never made it to the screen,” explained the creator. “…We get to do an intricate, very twisty thriller, but we also get a chance to go into the characters.”

From Riot Games, Arcane, which has become one of Netflix's most successful animated series, was created by Christian Linke and Alex Yee and is based on the League of Legends game.

In season one, during a civil war between the affluent Piltover and impoverished Zaun, orphans Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) and her little sister Powder (Mia Sinclair Jenner) become thieves of the Undercity. When they try to pull off a heist with their friends topside in Piltover, things don’t go to plan, and events lead to a tragic end for their adoptive family, resulting in Powder changing her name and becoming the “jinx” her sister says she is. While Vi is imprisoned, Jinx (Ella Parnell) is taken in by crime lord Silco (Jason Spisak), who embraces her technological skills and fractured psyche, resulting in her attacking the Piltover Council.

Season two picks up with the fates of the Council members uncertain and with Vi unsure if there is any of her sister left in Jinx as the conflict between Piltover and Zaun escalates.

Based on the best-selling Inspector Rebus novels by Sir Ian Rankin, the new adaptation premiering today on Viaplay is set in modern day Edinburgh and reimagines John Rebus (Richard Rankin) as a younger Detective Sergeant. The series explores his struggles with modern technology, personal relationships, and a violent criminal conflict involving his brother, Michael, when he steals from drug dealers to support his family. Rebus must decide whether to protect his brother or bring him to justice. A fresh new take in the high-end crime drama, Rebus examines complex issues of family dynamics, ethical dilemmas, and the shifting landscape of law enforcement. Recently having aired on the BBC, the series will now be available to binge in the US starting today.

Rankin, who fans may know as Roger Wakefield on the hit series Outlander, which premieres later this month, recently spoke with SciFi Vision about working on Rebus and playing such an iconic character.

The original Wizards of Waverly Place first premiered in 2007 and ended its run in 2012. The all-new series, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, follows an adult Justin Russo (David Henrie, who also executive produces), who has embraced a normal life with his wife, Giada (Mimi Gianopulos), and their children, Roman (Alkaio Thiele) and Milo (Max Matenko). However, when his sister Alex (Selena Gomez) brings Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown), a young wizard seeking guidance, into his home, he must rediscover his magical talents to mentor her, all while managing his family duties and ensuring the safety of the Wizard World and the future of magic.

It was both “insanely difficult” and “ultimately easy” for star Henrie to step back into the shoes of Justin after so many years. “The pressure was certainly there, because there’s a lot of expectation,” the actor told SciFi Vision during a recent press conference. “…There [are] a lot of people with a lot of opinions and a lot of anticipation, so that pressure was certainly weighing down on me, but the actual doing of it was really easy. It wasn’t like, you know, a sport you hadn’t played in thirteen years, and it’s really hard to pick back up. It was just there.”
