Production on the upcoming live-action Tomb Raider series has been temporarily halted following an injury sustained by its lead star, Sophie Turner.
The actress, who is set to play the iconic adventurer Lara Croft, is reported to have suffered a minor injury during the preparation and filming process.
Earlier reports had revealed that she had been undergoing intense physical training to embody Lara Croft, a role known for its action-heavy sequences and endurance requirements. The injury, believed to be related to strain from this preparation, prompted producers to temporarily shut down filming to allow for proper recovery.
At this stage, the shutdown is expected to be short-term, with production likely to resume once Turner is medically cleared. There has been no indication of long-term delays or changes to the project’s schedule.
The series itself marks a significant expansion of the Tomb Raider franchise, transitioning the globally recognized video game property into a live-action television format. It is being developed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, best known for her work on Fleabag, adding further anticipation to the project.
Sophie Turner’s casting as Lara Croft had already sparked widespread conversation, placing her alongside previous portrayals by Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander, both of whom brought the character to life on the big screen.
Lagos, Nigeria – 28, March, 2026 – Streamdorm is set to launch Starting Line, a new original interview series dedicated to highlighting emerging actors, musicians, and creators across the entertainment and cultural landscape.
The series is set to premiere on April 1, 2026, and is built to give rising talent a platform to share their stories, inspirations, and the projects shaping their careers. Starting Line will be released weekly, with each episode introducing a new creative voice and perspective.
At its core, Starting Line moves beyond traditional promotional coverage. Each interview is designed to explore the personal journeys behind the work, focusing on the creative process, challenges, defining moments, and ambitions that drive the next generation of artists.
Established creatives are already known and celebrated within the industry, but emerging talents often struggle for visibility.

With Starting Line, Streamdorm is creating a space where these rising creatives can be seen and heard. Our goal is simple: to document their journeys now, so that years from today, we can look back and see what they’ve become.
The series combines a polished production approach with a conversational interview style, resulting in content that is both professional and authentic. This format allows guests to speak openly, creating a more genuine connection between creatives and audiences.
With the launch of Starting Line, Streamdorm continues to expand its commitment to original content and cultural storytelling, positioning itself as a growing platform for discovering and documenting emerging talent.

The road to the 12th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards is officially set, with organisers unveiling early details ahead of what is expected to be one of the big moments for African film and television this year.
Set against a rapidly evolving industry where cinema, streaming platforms, and digital content now intersect, AMVCA 2026 arrives at a time when African storytelling is expanding in both reach and influence.
The ceremony is scheduled to take place in Lagos, Nigeria, on May 9, 2026. As with previous editions, the main event will be preceded by a series of activities that typically shape the build-up, including the announcement of nominees and other industry-facing engagements that extend the awards beyond a single night.
A total of 32 categories will be awarded, covering film, television, and digital content. These categories are split between those decided by a jury and those influenced by audience voting.
The voting system remains hybrid. Submissions are first reviewed by a panel of judges who determine the nominees, after which selected categories are opened up for public voting. Final decisions are then made through a combination of jury input and audience participation, a format that has become central to how the awards position themselves within the industry.
One of the more notable developments ahead of this year’s ceremony is the appointment of Veteran Actress Joke Silva as Head Judge. Her role places her in charge of overseeing the judging process, particularly in categories determined by the jury.
The official nominees for AMVCA 2026 are expected to be announced on March 29, 2026.
Beyond the awards themselves, AMVCA continues to hold a unique position within African entertainment. In an era where streaming platforms and social media can rapidly elevate content and creators, the awards still function as a more structured form of recognition.

Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 has kicked off on a strong note, earning an impressive 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes at launch.
The highly anticipated new season officially premiered on Disney+ on March 24, 2026, with Episode 1 now available to stream, marking the return of one of Marvel’s current running series.
The early 94% “Certified Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes reflects overwhelmingly positive first impressions from critics. While scores typically fluctuate as more reviews come in, the debut rating positions Season 2 among the best-received Marvel TV projects in recent years.
Season 2 continues the story of Matt Murdock, played by Charlie Cox, as he faces his most dangerous adversary, Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin, portrayed by Vincent D’Onofrio.
This time, Fisk’s influence has grown beyond the criminal underworld and into the political sphere, raising the stakes for Daredevil’s fight.
Unlike binge-style releases, Season 2 will follow a weekly episode schedule, with a total of 8 episodes expected.

The release of Káshìmaawòó by Laycon, hasn’t felt like just another drop from the Nigerian Singer and Rapper. It felt more intentional.
After years of navigating fame and artistic identity since his breakout moment, this project comes across as something deeper.
Laycon first gained national recognition after winning Big Brother Naija Season 5 in 2020.
Entering the show as a relatively unknown rapper, he quickly stood out for his intelligence, relatability, and background. His strong connection with viewers earned him a decisive victory, securing 60% of the final votes and the ₦85 million grand prize.
Following his win, he built on that visibility with projects like Shall We Begin and Bioba, establishing himself as a recording artist with a consistent, message-driven approach.
Káshìmaawòó is a 10-track project that blends hip-hop with Afro-fusion elements, maintaining a steady, mid-tempo sound across its runtime.
Lyrically, the project centers on themes of personal growth, self-awareness, relationships, and everyday experiences. Tracks like “Acceptance” and “Full Circle” lean into introspection, while “Everyday Anthem” and “Oyoyo” introduce lighter, more rhythmic moments.
Official Káshìmaawòó Tracklist
Prelude Reason (feat. Tytanium) Oyoyo (feat. Mayolee) Night and Day (feat. Joeboy & Tytanium) Full Circle (feat. Tytanium) Like Father, Like Son (feat. Mayolee) His and Hers (feat. Fimi) Acceptance Everyday Anthem Àṣẹ (feat. Mayolee)
Káshìmaawòó brings together a mix of vocal features and production contributions that shape the project’s overall sound.
Joeboy appears on “Night and Day,” adding his signature melodic style. Known for his blend of Afropop and R&B, his contribution introduces a smoother, more accessible layer to the project.
Tytanium plays a key role behind the scenes, producing multiple tracks including “Reason,” “Night and Day,” and “Full Circle.” His recurring presence helps maintain sonic consistency across the project.
Mayolee contributes both as a featured artist and producer, working on tracks such as “Oyoyo,” “Like Father, Like Son,” and “Àṣẹ,” where he adds melodic and production depth.
Fimi appears on “His and Hers,” contributing to one of the project’s collaborative moments and representing a newer voice within the lineup.
The project maintains a clear structure, with concise tracks and a steady progression from start to finish.
Within the Nigerian music landscape, where sonic experimentation and global crossover sounds are increasingly dominant, Káshìmaawòó takes a more restrained approach.
The project leans into narrative and expression, aligning with a style of artistry that emphasizes storytelling alongside sound.
Nigerian singer and songwriter Tems has reached a new career milestone, surpassing 40 million monthly listeners on Spotify and becoming the most-streamed African artist on the platform at the time of reporting.
As of March 25, 2026, Tems holds approximately 40,161,541 monthly listeners, placing her at #112 globally. The figure marks the first time she has crossed the 40 million threshold, solidifying her position at the forefront of Africa’s global music expansion.
Tems’ rise to the top has been gradual but intentional. Earlier in 2026, she was already closing in on the lead, overtaking Tyla who previously held the top spot among African artists with fluctuating numbers between the high 30 and low 40 million range.
By mid-March, Tems had begun consistently leading daily listener charts among African acts, often outperforming established names like Wizkid and Burna Boy in daily streaming figures.
Her catalog has now crossed an estimated 5 billion total streams on Spotify, driven by a mix of solo records and global collaborations that continue to expand her reach.
Tems first gained international attention with “Essence”, her collaboration with Wizkid, later amplified by a remix featuring Justin Bieber. The track became a cultural breakthrough moment for Afrobeats, introducing the genre to a wider global audience and eventually surpassing 1.5 billion streams.
Since then, she has maintained momentum through high-profile collaborations, including “WAIT FOR U” with Future and Drake and her most recent “Raindance” with Dave, as well as solo releases that highlight her signature blend of R&B, soul, and Afrobeats.
Tems’ latest numbers places her ahead of Africa’s biggest streaming heavyweights, including Burna Boy, Wizkid, and rising stars like Rema and Asake.
While these artists maintain massive global footprints with billions of cumulative streams and consistent chart presence, Tems’ current monthly listener count sets her apart as the continent’s leading artist on Spotify, at least for now.
It is worth noting that Spotify monthly listeners are highly dynamic and can shift based on new releases, viral moments, and playlist exposure. Still, crossing the 40 million mark represents a significant benchmark in global streaming.
Harry Styles continues his lead run on the charts as his latest album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., secures a second consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
Released on March 6, 2026, the project moved 99,000 equivalent album units in its second week, maintaining the top position after a massive opening performance.
The album launched with over 400,000 units in its first week, marking one of the biggest debuts of 2026. The follow-up total of 99K represents a typical second-week drop for a major release but remains strong enough to still hold the lead.
With this achievement, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. becomes Harry Styles’ fourth consecutive No. 1 album in the United States. This consistency places him among a select group of artists who have maintained a flawless streak at the top of the Billboard 200 in recent years.
Harry Styles is an English singer, songwriter, and actor who first rose to global fame as a member of the boy band One Direction. Following the group’s breakout, he launched a solo career that has been defined by artistic evolution and commercial success.
His previous albums including Harry Styles (2017), Fine Line (2019), and Harry’s House (2022), have all debuted at No. 1 in multiple countries, producing global hits and earning critical acclaim. Known for blending pop, rock, and retro influences, Harry Styles has established himself as one of the most influential artists of his generation.
When Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man was announced, the expectation was simple: a movie conclusion to one of television’s most beloved crime drama series. But as the film arrives, it becomes clear that this is not just about ending a story, it is about reworking how stories end in today’s entertainment landscape.
For a series that began as a gritty, character-driven drama on BBC, Peaky Blinders has grown into a global brand, a cultural reference point.
The Immortal Man follows Tommy Shelby as he emerges from exile during the turbulence of World War II. Drawn back into the streets of Birmingham, he confronts threats both new and old, navigating dangerous alliances, family obligations, and the shadows of his past. The film delves into his tactical mind, exploring how he maneuvers through a city caught between war, crime, and political intrigue, while also introducing new characters who challenge and complicate the world viewers have come to know.
For years, television finales followed a familiar pattern, often building toward a final season that carefully wrapped up every storyline. Peaky Blinders chose a different route.
Rather than extending the narrative into another season, creator Steven Knight opted for a film to close the chapter.
Streaming platforms, especially Netflix, have made it possible for stories to move fluidly across formats. A series can end on television and conclude on a global streaming stage, reaching audiences in ways traditional broadcasting could not achieve.
At the center of it all is Tommy Shelby, portrayed with quiet intensity by Cillian Murphy.
Tommy is not a traditional hero. He is calculated, emotionally guarded, and often morally ambiguous, yet he remains one of the most compelling characters of modern television.
His appeal lies in contradiction. He is a war hero shaped by trauma, a businessman driven by control, and a leader constantly at war with himself. This complexity is what keeps audiences invested.
Viewers over the years have had a change in taste and are no longer drawn to perfect protagonists; they are drawn to layered, conflicted individuals. The antihero has become the defining figure of modern storytelling, and Peaky Blinders played a significant role in shaping that evolution.
Long before Peaky Blinders captured global attention, there was a gang by the same name roaming the streets of Birmingham, England. Active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the real Peaky Blinders were a group of working-class young men who made a name for themselves through petty crime, illegal betting, and street violence.
The gang earned their nickname from a dangerous fashion choice: they allegedly sewed razor blades into the peaks of their flat caps, which could be used as weapons in fights. Despite their criminal activity, they were also known for dressing sharply, a style that would inspire the iconic suits, coats, and peaked caps seen on screen today.
Unlike the Shelby family empire in the series, the historical Peaky Blinders were much smaller in scale. Their influence remained mostly local, and while they caused fear in Birmingham neighborhoods, there is no evidence they reached the levels of national or international power depicted in the TV show.
Still, the series captures the spirit of the era. The tension of post-industrial Britain, the struggles of working-class life, and the charisma of young men carving out power in a harsh world. In that sense, the fictional Shelby clan is a modern retelling of a gritty, dangerous, and stylish reality.
When Peaky Blinders concluded its sixth season, it did not feel like a conventional ending. There were unresolved tensions, lingering questions, and a sense that the story still had more to say.
Instead of forcing a complete resolution within the constraints of a television season, the creators preserved narrative weight for a larger stage. The film format allows the story to become more focused while also expanding its scale and emotional impact.
At the same time, this shift introduces a new kind of pressure. A season allows for gradual character development and narrative depth, while a film demands precision and efficiency. Every moment must carry meaning.
There are already indications that the story may continue beyond this film, suggesting that The Immortal Man could be less of a conclusion and more of a transition point.

Beyond its storytelling, the series has shaped fashion, influenced music curation, and built a global fanbase that stretches far beyond its British origins.
In Countries like Nigeria, its influence is particularly visible. The show’s aesthetic, its tone, and its sense of identity have resonated with audiences in a way that goes beyond simple viewership. It has become a reference point in style, content creation, and even branding. Many people over the years have used Tommy’s gangster dress style as their go to custome for their ‘Custome Day’ in tertiary institutions and other social gathering that warrants it.
At the center of it all remains Tommy Shelby, a character who continues to embody that more. Much like the world around him, he resists simple conclusions.
