It goes without saying that the year of 2020 threw many curveballs (although 2021 seems to be poised to give last year a run for its money). The pandemic disrupted nearly every facet of our culture including entertainment, with many film and TV releases finding themselves in limbo as studios scrambled to figure out what to do with them.

Highly anticipated films such as Candyman and The French Dispatch were pushed back, then pushed back again in a landscape where people are increasingly relying on the escapism of entertainment. Disney streamed big releases like Mulan and Soul, while Warner Bros. announced plans to release its entire 2021 slate simultaneously on HBO Max.

Here is the updated status on some of the most highly anticipated releases we were looking forward to in 2020, and that we hope to get in 2021:
