Other literature: 

Plot (short):  A new six-level lower secondary course from Oxford University. I think digital resources only (mixed media format, also in student's books). Published in Dec 2022 (Starter/Level 1). Levels 2 and up are obviously not published yet.

Obviously many (short) videos in chapters vocabulary/listening, grammar/speaking, and "Project coach".

No separate DVDs but digital resources in both teacher's and student's books. I haven't found a real vid and few sample in the books. Early levels might have animations only.
