After its first (and great) season wowed audiences in December 2020, The Wilds returns for its second installment in early May.

For those unfamiliar with the hit Prime Video series: The Wilds follows a group of teens who, en route to a women's empowerment retreat in Hawaii, get stranded on a deserted island after the plane they were on crashed into the ocean. The show follows these castaways as they learn to work and live together, but something is wrong with the island they're stationed on, or the events surrounding the plane crash itself...

We'll refrain from spoiling the first season of The Wilds here - those who've seen the show will know what's going on as part of its plot anyway.

Into the Spider-Verse stars Shameik Moore as Miles Morales, a rebellious Puerto Rican-American teenager who, yes, you guessed it, is bitten by a radioactive spider. After his universe's Peter Parker/Spider-Man is killed by the villainous Kingpin, Miles takes it upon himself, with a little help from Spider-Men and Spider-Women from across the multiverse, to take action and stop the Kingpin from being killed. carry out his nefarious plan.
