But as Taipei’s deadliest societies and a new rising faction go head-tohead for dominance, the family must heal the wounds caused by their separation and figure out what brotherhood and family truly means before one of their enemies kills them all. “Foe” (Prime Video — Jan. 5, Movie Premiere) Hen (Saoirse Ronan) and Junior (Paul Mescal) farm a secluded piece of land that has been in Junior’s family for generations, but their quiet life is thrown into turmoil when an uninvited stranger (Aaron Pierre) shows up at their door with a startling proposal.

Looking to continue a season of excellence and hoping to keep the Christmas spirits high, the Philadelphia Eagles get set to host struggling division rivals New York Giants Monday Dec. 25 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia with all the action broadcast live on Fox. The last time Philadelphia faced New York in a regular season matchup, the Eagles walked away with a 22-16 victory (Jan. 8, 2023), in what was a key victory for the Eagles. Star quarterback Jalen Hurts led the way, helpng secure the number one spot in the NFC East throwing for 229 yards, all after being sidelined with a shoulder injury weeks prior. Coming into the 2023 season fully healed, Jalen Hurts hasn’t skipped a beat throwing for 557 yards and five touchdowns in November. This performance made the Eagles the first team in NFL history to start 10-1 or better in back-to-back seasons since the 2005-06 Indianapolis Colts. Having yet another MVP season, Hurts also made history by becoming the first quaterback ever to have 10 rushing touchdowns in three straight seasons.

‘Gettin’ at ‘er’ one last time: ‘Letterkenny’ gifts fans final season After nearly eight years, 12 seasons, 75 episodes and eight specials, Canadian premium network Crave’s first-ever original series is calling it quits, bud. “Letterkenny,” created by the series’ leading star, Jared Keeso (“Elysium,” 2013), has made the tough decision to pack up the Puppers following its 12th season, thus passing the torch to its hockey-driven spinoff series, Shoresy (also available on Hulu). Don’t miss the dry double talk, loaded innuendo and smalltown Canadian drama when “Letterkenny” premieres its final season Tuesday, Dec. 26, on Hulu. Keeso’s award-winning series was inspired by his own life growing up in the small town of Listowel, Ontario, and emerged from his own Twitter (now X) feed, titled “Listowel Problems.” In a 2016 interview, the creator and actor told the Toronto Star, “What we do on ‘Letterkenny’ is we just take the portrait of small-town life and exaggerate and embellish the [expletive] out of it.” The fictional town of Letterkenny, whose inhabitants “belong to one of three groups: the hicks, the skids and the hockey players” (per Hulu), has become a staple TV visit for many households — even the country town
Jared Keeso in “Letterkenny”
of Listowel has seen a bit of tourism since the show began in 2016. Now adorned with 12 Canadian Screen Awards, “Letterkenny” prepares to take its final bow and leave the laughs up to its spinoff, “Shoresy,” which also stars Keeso. Joining Keeso, who returns to his role as Wayne (and possibly in another cameo as Shoresy if fans are lucky), are fellow regulars Michelle Mylett (“El Camino Christmas,” 2017) as Katy, Nathan Dales (“Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City,” 2021) as Daryl and K. Trevor Wilson (“Mr. Viral,” 2012) as Dan. Also likely to return (but still unconfirmed as of writing) are Andrew Herr (“Upload”) as Jonesy, Evan Stern (“The Void,” 2016) as Roald, Dylan Playfair (“Mr. Hockey: The Gordie Howe Story,” 2013) as Reilly and Tyler Johnston (“The Odds,” 2011) as Stewart. But as this is the series finale, it’s hard to say which characters will return to bid farewell to viewers. While “Letterkenny” typically takes a quick-witted approach to slow-paced life events, it seems the writers have a lot cooked up for the final season. According to the official Hulu news release, there will be lots of laughs in order as the local nightlife kicks into high gear. “In Season 12, the small town contends with a comedy night at Modean’s, a country music hit, the Degens’ bad influence, a new nightclub, and an encore at the Ag Hall,” the writeup reads. “And that’s just for starters.” The final season of “Letterkenny” is, as usual, headed up by Keeso and his creative partner, Jacob Tierney (“Laurence Anyways,” 2012), who also works on “Shorsey” both behind the scenes and on-screen (he stars as the show’s more uppity recurring character, Glen, a character he has played in 42 episodes of the pair’s flagship series, as of writing).
PUZZLE SOLUTIONS
A down-on-his-luck banker named George Bailey (James Stewart) wishes he’d never been born – that is, until George’s guardian angel, Clarence (Henry Travers), shows him what the world would be like if he had never existed, prompting the man to see all the good in his life. From director Frank Capra, “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946) airs Sunday, Dec. 24, on NBC. A trailer for this beloved classic film can be found at youtube.com/watch?v=iLR3gZrU2Xo If all you wanted for Christmas was two hours of Mariah Carey singing her heart out, you just might get your wish: Singer songwriter and global sensation Mariah Carey performs a repertoire of her festive holiday hits, including the up-beat “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” during “Mariah Carey: Merry Christmas
to All!,” a special presentation airing Monday, Dec. 25, on CBS. Can’t get enough of the holiday season? Watch last year’s special by visiting cbs.com/shows/video/ ORpu3FDfPl5ZERdQwxRarbTl5r0H1A6e/ What the chefs know — or don’t know — about uni (sea urchin) will make all the difference as they open their mystery boxes during the appetizer round.Then, a simple soup becomes a complex puzzle in the entrée round, and a corn cake stars during dessert. The competition jumps from cornfield to coral reef, as an all-new episode of “Chopped” airs Tuesday, Dec. 26, on Food Network.

Taylor Kinney OF CHICAGO FIRE ON NBC Q: Is it true that Taylor Kinney is coming back to “Chicago Fire”?
A: Yes, at least for the start of the NBC drama’s upcoming Season 12, set to start Jan. 17. Presumably, the episodes will deal heavily with Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) having gone to retrieve husband and fellow firefighter Kelly Severide (Kinney), who was absent from Firehouse 51 on a special assignment. While he was away, Matt Casey (Jesse Spencer) returned, and with a big personal matter to take care of … his proposal to paramedic Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer). That opens up another set of questions for the show’s future, since it recently was announced that Killmer will be leaving either during or after the series’ forthcoming season. She has been a big part of the program since Season 3, when she was brought in to play a successor to Lauren German’s Leslie Shay, who died in the line of duty. Brett has been very much at the forefront of many “Chicago Fire” episodes since, with Killmer bringing a big supply of good humor to the role. Of course, even after any departures of actors and characters that are yet to come, the “Chicago Fire” ensemble cast that has existed up to now can still be seen in repeats that are on display often. Besides being in syndication to local stations, earlier seasons are shown regularly on ION Television and USA Network, both of which also have rights to the Dick Wolf-produced sister series “Chicago P.D.”.

Inches away from conquering the world, the devil is foiled by a hero and finds himself in modern-day Tokyo. With no real-world skills to speak of, the devil is forced to make ends meet flipping burgers at a fast food joint!
Sara (Sanna Sundqvist) lives in a perfect nuclear family with Daniél (Mattias Ramos), their little son Eliot (Amael Blomgren Alcaide) and a second child on its way. But, their life is to be turned upside down and a heavily pregnant Sara is suddenly left alone. Help soon appears from a completely unexpected source when Sara’s estranged older sister, Linda (Charlotta Bjorck), a helpless immature adult with a big erratic dog, offers to move in and help out.
Carl Weathers
A: After a long and hugely successful career, Carl Weathers (“Rocky,” 1976) gets to be pretty choosy with his parts. But when the Star Wars franchise calls, even Carl Weathers picks up the phone.

“Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade” (Dec. 26)
as state’s attorney Mark Jefferies in the short-lived series “Chicago Justice” (one of the less-successful entries in the “One Chicago” universe). But when he was offered the role of Greef Karga, head of the Nevarro Bounty Hunters Guild in Disney’s high-profile “Star Wars” spinoff series “The Mandalorian,” it seems he couldn’t pass it up. He has recurred in the role ever since, including in the most recent episode — the
third-season finale — released earlier this year on Disney+. Weathers is, of course, a franchise guy. He was a pillar of the Rocky boxing films, channeling the great Muhammad Ali for his role as antagonist-turned-hero Apollo Creed. He also starred in the first “Predator” film (1987), which kicked off a series that goes on to this day (though without Weathers’ character, who [spoiler alert] died in the first film).

Shane Black OF THE NICE GUYS ON WARNER BROS. Q: What is Shane Black working on now? And is it a sequel to “The Nice Guys”?
A: With this year’s “Barbie” movie making Ryan Gosling one of the most famous actors in the world, interest in his back catalogue is at its highest. That includes his 2016 crime-comedy “The Nice Guys,” even though it was a flop at the time. So, you aren’t the only person wondering — seven years later — if director and writer Shane Black will make a sequel. Unfortunately, it’s not in his plans at the moment. ACROSS

acter created by author Donald E. Westlake.
Right now, it seems he’s more concerned with a couple of other long-gestating projects: a fifth entry in the Lethal Weapon franchise (the first one, released in 1987, is what made Black the hotshot filmmaker he is today) and “Play Dirty,” a new film based on the Parker char-
Unfortunately, not much is known about either one. Mel Gibson (“Braveheart,” 1995), who starred in the first four “Lethal Weapon” films, said late last year that the fifth one is now being delayed by shake-ups at Warner Bros. Those shake-ups include getting a new boss (David Zaslav) and merging with Discovery. Even less is known about the status of “Play Dirty.” IMDb.com lists it as being in “pre-production,” but it’s been that way since March 2022. So, while a “Nice Guys” sequel is not currently on Black’s to-do list, that could change at any time, especially if its current resurgence in popularity lasts. And if it does, he’s ready to hit the ground running. Back in 2018, two years after it hit (and quickly departed) the box office, Black told Fandango.com that he had “all kinds of ideas” for a sequel and that he’d make it “in a heartbeat if someone would pay for it.”

Filmed at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, this Disney-centric holiday event has occurred annually since 1962, when the parade marched its inaugural route through Main Street in California’s Disneyland Park. First bringing families together in the heart of the Magic Kingdom — and now nationwide — this event spreads holiday cheer through music, heartwarming stories and a little bit of magic. “Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade” airs Monday, Dec. 25, on ABC, streaming on Disney+ the following day. As with previous years, the parade includes Disney characters who make their annual appearances, such as Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto, Daisy and more, but it also features musical performances by some special Disney friends, including Derek Hough and Julianne Hough (both of “Dancing With the Stars”), singing “Good Morning” and “Deck the Halls”; Chrissy Metz (“This is Us”), performing “Silver Bells”; The Smashing Pumpkins (“Siamese Dream,” 1993), performing their new, original holiday song, “Evergreen”; Iam Tongi (“Why Kiki?,” 2023), singing “Mele Kalikimaka”;
