Features By Lucy Buglass published 18 October 2024

New York Comic Con has not disappointed this year, as trailers and news for six major streaming titles have debuted at the event. Fans of some of the best Netflix, Max, and Adult Swim shows will be delighted that we've got plenty to look forward to over the coming months.

Whether it's new episodes of action hits or a new venture for Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, there are lots of exciting things coming to the best streaming services. One streaming announcement that we haven't included in this list but that was part of the event was that Shrinking has been renewed for season 3 at Apple TV Plus. Of course, there's still two more days until the event ends so make sure check back in with us for more roundups of the biggest streaming announcements.

If you weren't lucky enough to attend the con this year, do not fear, because the trailers are now widely available online and we've got details for all of them. So, without further delay, here are the four trailers you absolutely must see.

The Penguin

If you're anything like me, you're currently obsessed with The Penguin. I don't blame you, it's one of the best Max shows of the year and Colin Farrell deserves all the awards. It's hard to believe the Irish actor is hidden under all those prosthetics and a New York accent, and his performance has me hooked.

The recent mid-season trailer has got me even more excited, picking up after he chose to betray Sofia Falcone (played by the brilliant Cristin Milioti). If you thought the first half of the season was excellent, this new trailer suggests it's only going from strength to strength.

Rick and Morty

Watch On

Ah, jeez Rick! Not only have we got a first-look at Rick and Morty season eight, but there's been confirmation that the show has been renewed until season twelve. The Hollywood Reporter shared that Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen said: “Dan, Scott, and the rest of the immensely talented team behind Rick and Morty are constantly outdoing themselves and I’ll be joining the millions of fans around the world in looking forward to more adventures in the years to come.”

So, we've definitely got this iconic duo up until 2029 so there's plenty more Rick and Morty to look forward to. While season eight is yet to air, you can enjoy the first look.
