Zack Snyder’s Justice League finally has its first trailer

Zack Snyder’s Justice League | Official Teaser | HBO Max

It’s only going to take four years and a controversial fan campaign to happen, but Zack Snyder will finally bring his vision for Justice League to audiences in 2021 — and now the appropriately titled Zack Snyder’s Justice League has its first, official trailer.

Snyder premiered the trailer August 22 during the DC FanDome event, a virtual comic convention of sorts with online panels dedicated to various projects featuring DC Comics characters. During the Justice League panel, Snyder recounted the long road to the screen his preferred cut of the film has taken — a journey that will culminate in Zack Snyder’s Justice League premiering on HBO Max next year.

The fifth installment of Warner Bros. Pictures’ live-action DC Extended Universe, Justice League originally premiered in November 2017. The film had Batman (Ben Affleck) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) team up with Flash (Ezra Miller), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), and Cyborg (Ray Fisher) to battle an alien invasion force led by the powerful Steppenwolf. Their efforts lead to the resurrection of Superman (Henry Cavill), who sacrificed his life in Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice, but the Man of Steel’s return comes with its own, deadly set of problems.

Zack Snyder’s Justice League will offer an extended, recut version of the 2017 film that aligns more closely with Snyder’s original vision for the project. Snyder exited Justice League during the production of the film due to a family tragedy and was replaced by The Avengers director Joss Whedon. The film was met with underwhelming ticket sales and negative reviews from both professional critics and general audiences, and ended up becoming one of the lowest-grossing films in the DCEU both domestically and worldwide.

Snyder’s cut of the film is expected to restore all of the work he did on the film before departing the project — much of which was reportedly scrapped by Whedon.

Don’t let these 3 hidden March 2025 streaming TV shows fly under your radar
A group of well-dressed people crowd by a doorway, looking shocked in The Residence.

Every month, there's always one, maybe two, new shows that get all the attention. Sometimes, it's a popular show returning with a new season. This March, many less high-profile shows are flying under the radar. You might have heard of these shows but weren't quite sure what they were about or even if they're worth watching.
We suspect that you'll be pleasantly surprised if you give any of these shows your time. Check out an episode or two, and it will likely lead to binging the whole thing. Two of the three series release all season one episodes at once, while the third will tease you with the first two episodes this month. What are these three hidden March 2025 streaming TV shows you shouldn't let fly under your radar? Have a look.

Deli Boys (March 6)
Deli Boys | Official Trailer | Hulu
Already receiving rave reviews, Deli Boys is a hilarious comedy about two Pakistani American brothers, Mir (Asif Ali) and Raj (Saagar Shaikh), who discover that their father was much more than a convenience store owner. When he suddenly passes, the brothers discover that dear Dad was actually embroiled in a life of crime.
If they don’t want to lose everything their family has worked for, they need to take over as the new crime bosses. But this is not a life they know anything about. As one of the most anticipated Hulu shows of 2025, Deli Boys’ first season delights thanks to its clever one-liners, talented cast, and bizarre storylines.
Stream Deli Boys on Hulu.
The Residence (March 20)
The Residence | Official Trailer | Netflix
The best way to describe The Residence is that it's like Knives Out in the White House with a gender-swapped Benoit Blanc-like character. The lead is Cordelia Cupp (Uzo Aduba), an equally eccentric yet brilliant detective who consults with the local police. When the White House chief usher, A.B. Wynter (Giancarlo Esposito in a role that was originally supposed to be played by the late Andre Braugher), winds up dead, she’s called in to investigate. A state dinner is going on downstairs with officials from Australia, and Cupp orders that no one leave until she questions all 140+ people present.
The Residence is plenty of fun, mixing the usual whodunit formula with Shonda Rhimes' unique creative flair that will keep you guessing from one episode, even a moment, to the next. Aduba is perfect as Cupp, who combines an oddball personality — including repeatedly birdwatching in the middle of a murder case — with a subtle sarcasm. Through it all, however, she throws down astute observations that teach everyone she knows exactly what she’s doing, even if it doesn’t look like it. If you love the whodunit genre, The Residence won’t disappoint.

Stream The Residence on Netflix. 
The Studio (March 26)
The Studio — Official Trailer | Apple TV+
One of Apple TV+’s quieter new show releases is The Studio, which has gotten overwhelmingly positive reception in early reviews. Seth Rogen created and stars in this comedy as Matt Remick, a man who longs to run a Hollywood studio. When he finally realizes this dream, however, the reality of the complicated balancing act of managing budgets, changing economic and societal times, corporate demands, and eccentric actors sinks in.
The Studio has an incredible cast that includes Catherine O’Hara, Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders, and Kathryn Hahn. There's also a rotating selection of guest stars playing exaggerated versions of themselves to add to the Hollywood feel, from Zac Efron to Martin Scorsese. Early reviews already give The Studio a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, with Slant Magazine’s Ross McIndoe singling out the dark and “more than a little pointed” comedy as the highlight.

3 PBS shows you should watch in March 2025
three pbs shows you should watch in march 2025 call the midwife season 14 tv hero 2

PBS may not be able to boast a lineup of original shows like Netflix and the other streamers, but it's been America's gateway for British dramas for decades. Granted, some of these shows will show up on the streamers as well. The key difference is that PBS won't charge you to watch them, and you can even stream them online if you don't want to support your local station.

This month's picks include two returning British dramas, one of which had almost a full decade between seasons. Our other pick is a returning murder mystery show from Sweden, which proves just how universally popular that genre has turned out to be.
