March 16, 2026 - Paramount+ today revealed the post-theatrical premiere date for the creature feature horror film, PRIMATE, which will arrive on the service in the U.S. and Canada Wednesday, March 25.

From director Johannes Roberts of 47 Meters Down and The Strangers: Prey at Night, PRIMATE is an adrenaline-fueled, terrifying ride packed with old-school thrills. The film, produced by acclaimed horror producer Walter Hamada (It, The Conjuring) via his exclusive first-look deal with Paramount Pictures, was released theatrically earlier this year and follows a group of friends' fight for survival after their pet chimpanzee, Ben, goes on a violent rampage, turning a tropical homecoming into a primal tale of horror and survival.

Upon its debut, PRIMATE received rave reviews from an assortment of critics and currently holds a "Certified Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Benjamin Lee of The Guardian praised the film's director, declaring his work on the film as "his savviest and most ruthlessly efficient," adding that it exemplifies a "filmmaker finding his sweet spot." Furthermore, Dread Central praised the movie as "a masterfully made horror film" and "a disturbingly scary and frightfully fun" feature, adding "the more unhinged it gets, the more fun it is to watch."

Paramount Pictures Presents, in association with Domain Entertainment, an 18Hz production, PRIMATE. Directed by Johannes Roberts and written by Johannes Roberts and Ernest Riera, PRIMATE is produced by Walter Hamada, p.g.a., John Hodges, p.g.a. and Bradley Pilz.

IDW Reveals New Details for ‘TMNT’ #300 and Kevin Eastman Variant for 'The Last Ronin: Training Day'

IDW Publishing has revealed new details for TMNT #300, including new story details, the next major event The City That Never Dies, and a special Kevin Eastman variant for The Last Ronin: Training Day.

'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #300' Cover Art Variant

IDW Publishing is preparing a major celebration for TMNT #300 (technically Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #20 in the current ongoing series), and have unveiled new details on what fans can expect when the milestone issue arrives.

The anniversary issue will look back across the entire history of the iconic franchise while also launching the next big era of Turtle storytelling.

As part of the celebration, Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz are teaming up for a special backup story that takes readers on a journey through TMNT history. The story serves as a tribute to the franchise, bringing together all-star returning artists from different eras of the series to help guide readers through the Turtles’ past.

The story also connects directly to recent events in the ongoing series.

Following the multiversal chaos unleashed during the Battle Nexus event, time traveler Renet has been assigned the unenviable task of repairing the fractured TMNT timeline. Her mission sends readers through key moments in Turtle history, turning the anniversary issue into both a celebration and a story that ties together the past, present, and future of the franchise.

But TMNT #300 is not only about honoring the past.

The issue will also launch the next major TMNT event: “The City That Never Dies.” The new storyline will be written by Gene Luen Yang with artwork by Freddie E. Williams II, setting the stage for the next chapter of the Turtles’ saga.

And if fans thought Master Splinter’s return from the dead would come without consequences, they may want to think again.

“As a new member of the editorial team, it has been absolutely incredible to be able to jump into the world of TMNT right as we celebrate 300 issues! We have a lot of really exciting things planned for issue 300 that you’re all going to love.

Following the multiversal chaos of our Battle Nexus event, Renet has been tasked (well, more like punished) with cleaning up the TMNT timeline. Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz have written a walk down TMNT memory lane with the help of some all-star returning artists from each era!

But that’s not all for 300, we are also starting the next big epic TMNT event, THE CITY THAT NEVER DIES, written by Gene Luen Yang and drawn by Freddie E. Williams II. Did you really think Master Splinter could just come back from the dead with no ramifications? This is comics! No one ever just comes back from the dead! Come on!

We also have some fantastic covers from some fan-favorite TMNT artists as well as one artist who after 42 years is finally taking his slice of pizza. But all of that will be revealed soon enough…

Get ready to shellabrate!”

As an added bonus, IDW has also revealed a Kevin Eastman variant cover for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin – Training Day, featuring colors by Fahriza Kamaputra.

With TMNT #300 celebrating the franchise’s long legacy while launching a brand new era of storytelling, fans should make sure to preorder the ongoing TMNT series ahead of the milestone issue. Readers will also want to preorder The Last Ronin: Training Day as the next chapter of the Ronin saga approaches. Both issues are slated to be released in July 2026.

Animation Magazine Names 'Avatar: Seven Havens' Supervising Director Alexandra Chiu In 2026 List of Rising Stars of Animation

Animation Magazine has named Alexandra Chiu, who is currently serving as a Supervising Director on Nickelodeon Animation's upcoming Paramount+ Original animated series, Avatar: Seven Havens, as one of 2026's Rising Stars of Animation!

The animation landscape is constantly shifting, but what remains constant is the importance of artists and visionaries whose passion for the art form elevates the shorts, TV shows and movies we love. This year's list of 15 “rising stars” was created by casting a wide net and tracking down a few of the amazing men and women who are working on some of the most anticipated projects of the year. You can read more about each honoree in this year's Rising Stars of Animation at animationmagazine.net.

Alexandra Chiu

Supervising Director, Avatar: Seven Havens (Nickelodeon, Paramount+)

Age: 33

Birthplace: New York

School: Washington University in St. Louis

First time I knew I wanted to work in animation: I didn’t learn that a career in animation was a thing until I got to college. I always loved to draw as a kid but always thought it was only for a hobby, or the only job you could get in the arts field was as a fine arts painter or as a CG specialist. When I learned about storyboarding as a career and what it entailed (my junior year in college) — it’s like something clicked, and I realized it aligned a lot with what I’ve always loved all along, and that was telling stories in a visual way. I knew then that was the field I wanted to work in.

My first job in animation: I started on Marvel’s Spider-Man in 2015 as a storyboard revisionist.

What I love about my current project: I can’t say a whole lot, but as a longtime fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra, it’s been an honor and a joy to work on Seven Havens, alongside a truly wonderful and crazy talented crew who care about their craft!

The most challenging aspect of it: I jokingly call it my greed, because I often find myself wanting to draw everything on the project. But we only have a finite amount of time to accomplish the things we want to accomplish, so understanding and prioritizing where to place my focus, and also my bandwidth, has always been a tricky thing to balance. I do believe that a balanced life can lead to producing better work.

Favorite animated show/movie growing up: I adored Cardcaptor Sakura growing up and enjoyed Disney movies; I was also a big Naruto and One Piece kid, and those works still influence me to this day. I first watched Samurai Champloo when I was in college, and that, to this day, is still my favorite series of all time.

Best career advice: I was once told that each project/episode is like an opportunity to try something new, and something about that really resonated with me. I like to pursue projects not for the title, but if the opportunity offers me a chance to learn something new. Improving craft, and learning new skills, is a lifelong journey, and the talent in this industry is astounding — meaning, that no matter what, every project you go to offers you a chance to learn a new skill, which I think is just neat!

Long-term goals: To continue to work in animation, mostly help make my friends’ shows or projects I believe in come to life. I’d love to work on a fantasy series with a focus on female friendships one day.

In addition to Chiu, Animation Magazine has also named Aaron Austin, who currently serves as a Story Artist on Forgotten Island for DreamWorks Animation, as a Rising Star of Animation in this year's list! Austin's first job in animation was as a revisionist, then a storyboard artist on Harvey Beaks, and then a few months later became a storyboard artist on the same show.

Aaron Austin

Story Artist, Forgotten Island (DreamWorks Animation)

Age: 36

Birthplace: Houston

School: Brigham Young University

First time I knew I wanted to work in animation: I’d always loved drawing but wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it. In high school, someone from an art college came and spoke to students about different careers in art and animation. It was the first time I realized that I could aspire to a job like that. I remember thinking, “Wait, I love animation and video games, of course that’s what I want to pursue.” Before that I had no real concept of what an art job could be. For a while I thought, “Maybe I’ll design album covers for bands, that’s gotta be a job right?” To this day I haven’t designed any album covers, but it’s OK; I’m at peace with that. I like my current job a lot.

My first job in animation: I was in my last year of college when someone from Nickelodeon reached out to me asking if I’d apply to be a storyboard artist for a show called Harvey Beaks. Turns out they had seen my work on Tumblr. I did a story test and got a job as a revisionist, and then a few months later became a storyboard artist on the same show.

What I love about my current project: Forgotten Island has literally been a dream to work on. It has such fun characters, such an amazing world and so much heart and humanity! Also so many jokes. I love jokes. I think my favorite part of the project is that I can pitch ridiculous and incredibly insane jokes and they make it into the movie. I don’t think any production has ever valued my absurd sense of humor this much, and that really means a lot to me.

The most challenging aspect of it: I think the most challenging part of any storyboarding job is how often you have to summon the emotional willpower to make an entertaining and engaging story. Some days you just feel like rotting face down in a gutter, but you have to clock into the studio and make silly, happy stuff and make the world smile. It can be hard! But when you’re able to get there and make it happen, it can be very satisfying.

Favorite animated show/movie growing up: I love so many things, and I’m so moody and all over the place that every day I have a new favorite thing. That being said, growing up I soaked up ’90s Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network cartoons like a sponge, and I think those attached to my DNA and formed the basis of who I am today.

Best career advice: I think it’s really important to have a fun and fulfilling life outside of work, especially as a story artist. You can’t create stories if you’re not out living your own story. You won’t have anything to bring to a project. It’s like trying to cook a meal when your fridge is empty. Work-life balance is so important, and it makes you better at your job anyways, so jokes on you, all you workaholics.

Long-term goals: If I can just be a silly-goose story artist for the rest of my days that’s good with me! Career-wise, that’s all I need. On the personal side, I love making comics. I’m actually working to publish my first comic this year! I’d also love to win the lottery, that would be awesome.
