In the wake of a full moon the night before, this Thursday marks the perfect day to launch the fourth and final season of the streamer’s hit teen horror-drama. Featuring a total of eight episodes like Season 3, the last chapter will follow the eponymous half-witch/half-mortal teenager (Kiernan Shipka, “Mad Men”) as she faces the most harrowing threats of her young — albeit experienced and magi- cal — life to date. This time focused on the Eldritch Terrors that were released onto Greendale by none other than Faustus Blackwood (Richard Coyle, “Grabbers,” 2012) himself, Sabrina will once again have to team up with the coven in order to stop all hell from breaking loose (nope, not really an exag- geration in this case). Each episode will last an hour (as is tradition for the show) as the team fights each new creature one-by-one until finally faced with The Void — and, yes, we assure you it is as terrifying as it sounds. With her aunts Hilda (Lucy Davis, “Shaun of the Dead,” 2004) and Zelda (Miranda Otto, “War of the Worlds,” 2005), her cousin Ambrose (Chance Perdomo, “The Art of Trying,” 2017) and her mortal friends, Rosalind (Jaz Sin- clair, “Easy”), Theo (Lachlan Wat- son, “The Ultimate Life,” 2013) and Harvey (Ross Lynch, “My Friend Dahmer,” 2017), by her side as the other realm wages war on Earth, we will all soon learn how the Book of Spellman draws to a close. Created by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (“Carrie,” 2013), Season 4 will also see the return of Nick (Gavin Leath- erwood, “Bad Therapy,” 2020), Prudence (Tati Gabrielle, “The 100”), Mary Wardwell (Michelle Gomez, “Doctor Who”) and Lucifer Morningstar (Luke Cook, “Katy Keene”). “We Can Be Heroes” (2020) You know what they say, “New year, new you,” right? Well, in 2021, why not join a rag-tag team of chil- dren on a mission to save the world in “We Can Be Heroes,” coming Fri- day, Jan. 1, to Netflix. From writer/ director Robert Rodriguez, the cre- ator of “The Adventures of Shark- boy and Lavagirl in 3-D” (2005) and the Spy Kids franchise, this new film centers around an unlikely and heroic coming-of-age story. When aliens descend to Earth and kidnap the planet’s superheroes, their kids are taken into government custody in a secret location. Determined to save their parents — and the world — Missy Moreno (YaYa Gosselin, “FBI: Most Wanted”) rallies the rest of the kids to escape their eerie government babysitter (Priyanka Chopra, “Quantico”) and use their individual powers to get their parents back. Also starring Boyd Holbrook and Pedro Pascal of “Nar- cos,” Christian Slater (“Mr. Robot”) and Taylor Dooley (“The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D,” 2005), this fun family film features a slew of young actors building their careers, including Vivien Lyra Blair (“Birdbox,” 2018), Hala Finley (“Man with a Plan”), Tristan Riggs (“Thunder Road,” 2018), Dylan Henry Lau (“Paper Tiger,” 2020) and Akira Akbar (“Family Reunion”). “Equinox” Balance the light with the dark when Season 1 of “Equinox” premieres Wednesday, Dec. 30, on Netflix. This six-episode, Danish- language miniseries tells a sinister mystery in the way that only the Scandinavians could. Complete with icy landscapes, hidden truths and unsolved disappearances, “Equinox” follows Astrid (Danica Curcic, “The Mist”) on a hunt for the truth more than two decades after an incident occurred, claiming the life of her sister and her entire school class in 1999. Created by Tea Lindeburg (“Kødkataloget”), directed by Søren Balle (“Follow the Money”) and produced by Apple Tree Productions’ Piv Bernth (“The Killing”), the tension is heightened by the uncanny phone call of a man named Jakob (August Carter, “Land of Mine,” 2015), who claims to have witnessed the disappearance of Astrid’s sister over 20 years prior. Oscillating between the last year of the ‘90s and the present day, this supernatural series is based on the podcast “Equinox 1985,” which grew to be incredibly popular in Denmark. Curcic and Carter are joined by Lars Brygmann (“Dicte: Crime Reporter”), Hanne Hede- lund (“The Art of Crying,” 2006), Viola Martinsen (“When the Dust Settles”), Karoline Hamm (“Juleøn- sket”) and more throughout this thrilling saga.
