But predictably, things have gone awry for Vision. Ultron has escaped from the mind prison he had been locked safely away in, and his cunning and ruthlessness have been unleashed on the world again.

Some of Middle-earth’s greatest heroes will attempt to stop him, but with some of the Nine already working their malevolent influence amongst the lords of Men, the Dark Lord will be hard to stop.

‘12 12 12’ series premiere | Apple TV
Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan headline this new heist drama series for Apple TV. It’s an ambitious premise, with each episode unfolding across three timelines of a meticulously planned heist: the 12 months of planning it, the 12 hours of executing it, and the 12 days following it.
Mackie plays a disgraced FBI agent who is trapped in a spiraling game of cat and mouse across Europe with a career criminal (Dornan). At the heart of it all is a brazen raid on a bank vault buried deep beneath the streets of Zurich and the treasures contained within.

‘The Chosen’ Season 6 premiere | Prime Video
View the story of Jesus as never before in “The Chosen” Season 6, which will take place entirely within the final 24-hour period between his arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane and his walk to Calvary, where the Gospels report he was crucified.
The season will show these crucial hours through many eyes: those of the Romans, who see the act as a restoration of peace, and through those of Jesus’s disciples, who are afraid, confused, and uncertain. Jesus himself faces his isolation and pain with resolution as he ponders his path to the cross.
