The newfangled yearhas only just begunbut it ’s already got us thinking about the remainder . Over the line of the next 12 month , fan are live to see the end of some of the biggest franchises and show of all time . Let ’s take a look at which tonic culture favorites are wrapping up in 2019 .
The Skywalker Saga
On December 20 , Star Wars : Episode IX hits dramaturgy . It ’s being touted as thefinal photographic film of the Skywalker Saga , which is kind of a with child stack when you think that ’s the same story that begin way back in 1977 and has now stretch across three trilogies , a video show , comics and novels , and more . Episode IX wo n’t be the last Star Wars film , plainly , but it will mark the remainder of the series ’ most famous chapter . We can only venture where it will go next .
Game of Thrones
Theeighth and final season of Game of Throneswill begin on HBO sometime in April . It ’s likely to reveal who ultimately takes the throne of Westeros as well as show us the long - teased battle between Ice , in the form of the White Walkers , and Fire , in the bod of humanity lead by Daenerys Targaryen and her dragon . Again , Game of Thrones is too big of a franchise to just go away ( much like wintertime , spinoffs are coming ) , but the main write up we ’ve been follow since 2011 is coming to a close .
The Marvel Cinematic Universe…As We Know It
The tale that lead off in 2008 ’s Iron Man end on April 26 with the release of the quaternary Avengers movie , Avengers : Endgame . The film should , hypothetically , see the defeat of Thanos as well as the last exitof some of the main characters that have defined the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the start . Marvel movies will go forward ( though , as of publication , we do n’t know precisely how long they will do so , beyond Spider - Man : Far From Home in July ) but they ’ll be free of the regal thumb of Thanos , who has been the chief bad guy the whole time . Plus , there ’s some newfangled profligate on the way . ( See below . )
Fox’s X-Universe
This is kind of an assumption but we ’re confident in it . This twelvemonth will see the release of two tenner - Men movies from Fox , Dark Phoenix on June 7 and New Mutants on August 2 . And while the latter could certainly be whirl out of the X - Men universe , Dark Phoenix cannot . It stars the casting of the last severalX - Films and is almost certainly live on to be the last prison term these worker play these quality in this tale . Fox is being purchased by Disneyand Disney will almost certainly be recast those character to bring the characters into the new Marvel Cinematic Universe ( see above ) .
The Big Bang Theory
It ’s no mystery that we here at io9are not fans ofThe Big Bang Theory , but we ’d be idiots not to acknowledge that it ’s a enormously successful and influential show in pop culture . The time of year that ’s currently on air , its 12th , will be its last(probably end sometime over the summer)—and while Sheldon may last on , at least in his younger version and in reruns , the main story is coming to an end .
Gotham
Fox ’s Batman beginning show , Gotham , come in to an end with its upcoming fifth and concluding time of year , which debut this week . We ’ll eventually see a young Bruce Wayne become some version of Batman , as well as the fates of someof his heavy foe . Plus we ’ll at least see how Jim Gordon leaves the city for the Caped Crusader of the hereafter to take on .
How to Train Your Dragon
Hard to consider it ’s been five year since How to Train Your Dragon 2 was released but ultimately , on February 22,we’re going to see the series close , The Hidden World . The film should answer questions about the dragon Toothless ’ parentage and , most significantly , where the dragons all go in the end .
The Unbreakable Universe
In 2000 , M. Night Shyamalan created one of the best superhero motion picture ever with Unbreakable . Sixteen long time after , he made a surprise return to the motion-picture show ’s creation withSplit . And now , on January 18,he finishes the story with Glass . The cinema bring back Samuel L. Jackson as the claim character , who will at last show the world that his aliveness ’s employment — to testify superheroes subsist — was not for nothing . For devotee ( like me ) it ’s beyond exciting to finally go back to this world after the first film barely cancel the open .
It
Yeah , this is kind of a cheat . Can a part two really be a finale ? Well , when it ’s the conclusion to a story that was teased back in the 2017 hit , we say yes . It : Chapter 2 come up out September 6 and it ’ll not just bring back the younger rendering of the Loser ’s Club but introducetheir grown - up versions(played by the likes of Jessica Chastain , James McAvoy , and Bill Hader ) to at long last take down Pennywise once and for all .
Mr. Robot
I have to allow , I dropped off Mr. Robot a few seasons ago , but there ’s no abnegate that Sam Esmail ’s USA show star Rami Malek was something of a game changer . The story of a hacker burdened by some serious genial issueswill conclude with the fourth seasonand is set to air sometime this twelvemonth .
Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events
Will Count Olaf beat the Baudelaire nestling ? Will the minor finally defeat their evil contender ? All will be answered inthe third and final seasonof the pip Netflix show , based on the final few Word in the pop series , which is now streaming .
These are probably also finales , but we ca n’t be sure …
Toy Story
Toy Story 4 opens June 21 and , while we are n’t 100 percent sure if it ’ll be the last launching in the serial , there ’s a good luck , veracious ? How many more time can Pixar take out its biggest gun complete with its unattainable expectations ? Though , to be fair , the same was read after 2010 ’s Toy Story 3 . Everyone , admit Pixar , probably thought that was the last pic in the series , completing a nice trilogy , butnow we get this latest instalment . Even if it ’s not the last one though , it certainly will be for a longsighted , retentive while .
John Wick
John Wick is back on May 17 with the third film in the serial . Now , most fan had strike Wick would end in a trilogy , especially since the last film ended with Wick call for to take on the entire world of underground assassin . However , late consultation hint it may not be the end . If it is though , we are certain John Wick is going out with a flush .
