Apple TV+ has revealed a teaser trailer for the second season of its post-apocalyptic series See, which will premiere globally on Friday, August 27 on Apple TV+, with a new episode premiering weekly, every Friday thereafter. The series also received an early renewal for a third season, with filming currently underway in Toronto, Canada. The second season will introduce Dave Bautista (“Guardians of the Galaxy”) as Edo Voss, the brother of Momoa’s character, Baba Voss. See takes place in the far future and humankind has lost its sense of sight. In season two, Baba Voss is fighting to reunite his torn-apart family and get away from the war and politics that surround him, but the more he moves away, the deeper he gets sucked in, and the emergence of his nemesis brother threatens his family even more.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Blackwood reviewed by Gabriel Moss on PC. Also available on Xbox and PlayStation.

This scene is set six years earlier (in 2000) in the city streets of civil war-ravaged Penamstan, where bullets fly. When a U.S. special forces helicopter falls from the sky, the U.S. Army Mad Dogs, led by Jason, refuse orders from the command center to stand their ground. Instead, go to save the survivors left stranded on the battlefield. The revealed clip focuses on Jason, who is currently (in 2006) operating with Leon as a U.S. federal agent. As the captain of the Mad Dogs during this earlier incident, he and the unit engage in an intense battle with the local Penamstan soldiers. Starting with the scene of the helicopter crashing, a shocking moment that will feel familiar to fans of the Resident Evil series, this clip will keep viewers so captivated that they won’t be able to look away for even a second. Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness premieres on Netflix on July 8, 2021.
