📺 “The Hawk” Teaser Trailer: Will Ferrell Plays a Washed-Up Golf Legend Swinging for One Last Comeback in Netflix’s New Golfing Comedy Series with Molly Shannon, Jimmy Tatro, Fortune Feimster & Luke Wilson — Premiering Thurs, July 16th on Netflix

Will Ferrell has mocked the world of NASCAR, figure skating, youth soccer, basketball, and just about every other sport that lets grown men take themselves way too seriously. So, honestly, it was only a matter of time before he grabbed a golf club and took a big, ridiculous swing at the PGA Tour. And here we are. Meet Ferrell’s latest creation: a loud-mouthed, egomaniacal golf pro with absolutely zero self-awareness who goes by the name of... The Hawk!

In this upcoming Netflix comedy series, Ferrell stars as Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins, a once-dominant golf legend whose glory days are sitting somewhere back in 2004, right next to his better knees, sharper swing, and probably a few questionable endorsement deals. Lonnie was once the number one golfer in the world. Now, he’s stuck on the back nine of his career, trying to convince everyone around him that he still has enough magic left to mount one last comeback. His body says retire. His pride, on the other hand, says the opposite.

But The Hawk’s path to golfing glory becomes a whole lot messier when he faces his number one rival... who not only happens to be golf’s new golden boy but also his very own son, Lance (played by Jimmy Tatro). Now this twisted father-son dynamic should give Ferrell plenty of room to do what he does best: playing a man whose confidence is somehow both completely delusional and yet also weirdly inspiring.

With fellow SNL alum Molly Shannon as The Hawk’s fuming ex-wife, along with comedian Fortune Feimster as his loyal caddy, joined by Luke Wilson, David Hornsby, Katelyn Tarver, and Chris Parnell, this cast seems to suggest that it won’t just be about golf, but about all the messy personalities orbiting a fallen sports icon looking for one last shot at greatness.

Created by Ferrell with a producing team that includes filmmakers Rian Johnson and David Gordon Green, the series looks like another entry in Ferrell’s long-running mission to turn every corner of the sports world into his own playground of man-child hijinks and buffoonery.

The Hawk premieres Thursday, July 16th on Netflix.

📺 “East of Eden” Teaser Trailer: Florence Pugh, Mike Faist & Christopher Abbott Star in Zoe Kazan’s Netflix Miniseries Adaptation of John Steinbeck’s Classic American Saga — Coming Fall 2026

Some stories don’t just follow a family. They dig through generations of hurt, ambition, betrayal, and questionable decisions until the whole thing starts to feel so expansive it practically demands multiple episodes to unpack.

That’s the territory Netflix is stepping into with East of Eden, a new seven-episode miniseries adapted from John Steinbeck’s 1952 literary classic that tells the story of the Trask family, whose lives become tangled in love, jealousy, moral conflict, and the darker side of the California dream. And in this iteration, the story shifts its attention toward one of Steinbeck’s most unforgettable figures: Cathy Ames, played here by Florence Pugh.

The limited series is written and executive produced by actress-writer Zoe Kazan, whose acting credits include HBO’s The Plot Against America and The Big Sick, and who also wrote and starred in the fantasy-laced rom-com Ruby Sparks. Kazan also brings an interesting bit of family history to the project, since her grandfather, legendary filmmaker Elia Kazan, famously adapted Steinbeck’s novel into the James Dean classic.

This new interpretation, however, follows Florence Pugh’s Cathy as her life becomes tangled with generations of men in the Trask family, including Adam Trask (played by The Testament of Ann Lee’s Christopher Abbott) and Charles Trask (played by Challengers’ Mike Faist). Across decades, their choices ripple through family history, turning the American dream into something much darker, stranger, and harder to escape.

The series spans from the shadow of the American Civil War to the dawn of World War I, tracing the lives of Cathy and the Trasks as they cross paths with a wide circle of characters trying to survive a rapidly changing America. Among them are Samuel Hamilton, played by Ciarán Hinds, an Irish immigrant who builds a life in California; Lee, played by Hoon Lee, a deeply intelligent Chinese American caretaker; and Faye, played by Martha Plimpton, a brothel owner whose generosity may come at a dangerous cost.

The cast also includes Joseph Zada as Caleb “Cal” Trask, Cathy and Adam’s son and Aron’s fraternal twin brother; Joe Anders as Aron Trask; and Tracy Letts as Cyrus Trask, Charles and Adam’s stern war veteran father.

Acclaimed Lion filmmaker Garth Davis directs the first four episodes, while Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre, known for The Mustang, Lady Chatterley’s Lover, and The Act, directs episodes five through seven.

Veteran screenwriter-producer Jeb Stuart, whose credits include The Fugitive, Die Hard, and Netflix’s Vikings: Valhalla, serves as executive producer and co-showrunner alongside Kazan.

And while the 1955 James Dean film only covered the final part of Steinbeck’s novel, this new Netflix adaptation aims to tell the whole story, putting Pugh’s Cathy Ames at the center of its sprawling tale of family, fate, and moral corruption.

East of Eden is coming to Netflix in Fall 2026.

📺 “Stuart Fails to Save the Universe” Teaser Trailer: Kevin Sussman’s Big Bang Theory Fan Favorite Breaks Reality in HBO Max’s New Multiverse Comedy Series with Brian Posehn, Lauren Lapkus & John Ross Bowie — Debuting Thurs, July 23rd on HBO Max

Well, if you haven’t noticed, turning a franchise into its own multiverse is all the rage these days. But no one said comic book heroes are the only ones who get to deal with alternate timelines and reality-bending mayhem. ‘Cuz sometimes a couple of comic book geeks can get sucked into the madness as well. With that in mind, prepare to witness a Big Bang Theory spinoff like no other; one where the fate of the universe falls into the hands of one nerdy comic book store owner... Stuart Bloom.

In this new HBO Max original comedy series Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, Kevin Sussman returns as Stuart Bloom, the comic book store owner and longtime sad-sack survivor of social awkwardness and whatever chaos the Pasadena nerd circle dragged through his front door. This time, however, Stuart’s problems are a little bigger than slow book sales and uncomfortable small talk.

After breaking a device built by Sheldon and Leonard, Stuart accidentally tears reality wide open, triggering a full-blown multiverse... Armageddon. So now it’s up to Stuart to fix the universe he helped break. Which, let’s be honest, does not exactly inspire a whole lot of confidence. The universe just might be cooked.

Well, thankfully, he’s not doing it alone. Joining him on this reality-saving quest are his girlfriend Denise, played by Lauren Lapkus, and his geologist friend Bert, played by Brian Posehn. Lispy quantum physicist Barry Kripke (John Ross Bowie) is also here, remaining exactly the kind of brilliant, aggravating person you’d both need and deeply regret having to deal with. But because this is the multiverse, an alternate Barry has somehow turned into a controlling post-apocalyptic tyrant ruling over all of South Pasadena... naturally.

Along the way, Stuart and his crew will encounter alternate-universe versions of familiar characters from The Big Bang Theory, giving the series plenty of room to play with fan-favorite faces, weird timelines, and sitcom-style hijinks on a much larger cosmic scale.

Created, written, and executive produced by Chuck Lorre, Zak Penn, and Bill Prady, the ten-episode series comes from Chuck Lorre Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. Kyle Newacheck also executive produces and directs multiple episodes, which should help give the show some extra comic momentum as Stuart stumbles through one disaster after another.

Stuart Fails to Save the Universe debuts Thursday, July 23rd on HBO Max.

📺 “The Five Star Weekend” Trailer: Jennifer Garner Invites Old Friends for an Emotional Weekend in Peacock’s Nantucket-Set Dramedy with Chloë Sevigny, Regina Hall, Gemma Chan & D’Arcy Carden — Premiering Thurs, July 9th on Peacock

When you’re facing a personal crisis, it’s best to invite a few friends over for some emotional support. But when you’re throwing a weekend get-together with several friends from different stages of your life, emotional support isn’t the only thing you’re asking for... you’re also inviting some serious self-reflection.

That’s the emotional setup at the core of Jennifer Garner’s new Peacock original series, where she plays a woman turning to her lifelong friends during one of the most vulnerable moments of her life. What starts as a few days of comfort and support quickly turns into something much more emotional, as friendships are tested to levels they may not be ready for.

Based on Elin Hilderbrand’s bestselling novel, The Five Star Weekend brings Garner to the New England coast as Hollis Shaw, a beloved food blogger, famed cook, and bestselling author whose life appears almost perfect from the outside. But after the devastating loss of her husband (Josh Hamilton), that polished image begins to crack. Her daughter pulls away, and her carefully curated world starts to feel on the verge of collapse.

So begins a weekend away at her comfy beachfront Nantucket estate, where she invites four lifelong friends from four different stages of her life. The idea is to gather for some much-needed five-star treatment, as well as personal healing and self-reflection, as Garner’s Hollis finds herself dealing with grief, loneliness, and the uncomfortable realization that a picture-perfect life can still leave you feeling completely lost.

Among those playing Garner’s closest friends in this heartfelt dramedy are Chloë Sevigny as Tatum McKenzie, Regina Hall as Dru-Ann Jones, Gemma Chan as Gigi Ling, and D’Arcy Carden as Brooke Kirtley.

Executive produced by Bekah Brunstetter, whose producing and writing credits include This Is Us, Switched at Birth, and Maid, the limited series also co-stars Harlow Jane as Hollis’s daughter, and Timothy Olyphant as Jack, Hollis’s former teenage boyfriend who just so happens to come back into her life at this moment of emotional free fall.

Rounding out the cast are Caroline Shaw, David Denman, Rob Huebel, and the always lovely Judy Greer, reuniting with Jennifer Garner after the two starred together in 13 Going on 30.

The Five Star Weekend is slated to premiere Thursday, July 9th on Peacock.

📺 “Cape Fear” Trailer: Javier Bardem Revives Max Cady to Torment Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson in Apple TV’s Modern Reimagining of the Classic Revenge Thriller — Premieres Fri, June 5th on Apple TV

Heeeey, counselor!

Javier Bardem, who won an Oscar for his immensely chilling performance as hired killer Anton Chigurh in No Country for Old Men, is back to tapping into those dark, sinister instincts for his latest role. And this time, he’s stepping into some very dangerous shoes.

We’re talking about Max Cady, one of the great screen villains: a sociopathic ex-convict who may have been unjustly imprisoned and screwed over by his own lawyer, but is now free and looking for payback.

It’s a character we’ve seen before in two unforgettable incarnations. Robert Mitchum brought a quiet, predatory menace to the role in the 1962 original. Robert De Niro turned Cady into a tattooed, Bible-quoting nightmare in Martin Scorsese’s classic 1991 remake.

Now it’s Bardem’s turn to deliver his own unnerving spin on a character who is undeniably evil yet was also a victim of a corrupted legal system that failed to throw him into prison the right way, giving him just enough moral ammunition to justify his own twisted revenge.

Bardem is joined by Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson as the married couple, Anna and Tom Bowden, at the center of this new ten-episode thriller for Apple TV. And in a gender flip, Adams is the one playing the defense attorney who chose to deliberately bury evidence that could have altered Cady’s fate, leading to him spending years behind bars before he was able to reverse his conviction and walk free.

Set against a blistering summer in the South, this modern take follows Bardem’s convicted killer Max Cady after he finds a way to overturn his life sentence, serving as his own lawyer. Once out, Cady sets his sights on defense attorney Anna Bowden (Adams), the woman who betrayed him with the assistance of her lawyer husband, Tom (Wilson). But Cady doesn’t just attack. He stalks, studies, manipulates, and torments Anna, Tom, and their teenage children (played by Lily Collias and Joe Anders) while operating just close enough to the boundaries of the law. Cady is a true monster, that’s for sure, but he’s also a clever tactician who knows exactly how to weaponize the system in his favor this time.

The upcoming series comes from creator Nick Antosca, whose past work includes critically acclaimed miniseries, A Friend of the Family and The Act, with filmmaker Morten Tyldum (The Imitation Game) directing the pilot. The project also has some serious heavyweight backing, with Oscar-winning filmmakers Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg both serving as executive producers while veteran character actors CCH Pounder, Ron Perlman, Ted Levine, Anna Baryshnikov, and Jamie Hector round out the cast.

Drawing from John D. MacDonald’s original 1957 novel The Executioners as well as the previous film adaptations, this new version looks to bring Cape Fear into the modern TV-thriller era, where the line between justice and revenge gets dangerously thin... and the cost of crossing it could be brutal.

Cape Fear is scheduled to premiere Friday, June 5th on Apple TV.

📺 “Elle” Teaser Trailer: Newcomer Lexi Minetree Becomes a Young Elle Woods in Amazon’s ‘Legally Blonde’ Prequel Series — Premieres Wed, July 1st on Prime Video

Reese Witherspoon’s classic 2001 underdog legal comedy Legally Blonde has become one of those beloved comfort movies that, over the last few decades, has only grown more quotable, rewatchable, and charming. And despite a 2003 sequel and a 2009 straight-to-video spin-off, fans have been clamoring for a proper return to Elle Woods’ pink-powered world.

Well, those prayers have been answered, so to speak. Amazon is set to deliver a prequel series this summer that rewinds the clock back to Elle’s high school days, a time when she’s forced to leave behind her plush Beverly Hills life for the grimy, rain-soaked streets of Seattle. And despite the gloom and grunge of the Emerald City, Elle still has her signature sparkle and sunny optimism to make everything around her a little brighter.

Set in 1995, Elle features newcomer Lexi Minetree as the young Elle Woods, who finds herself relocating to Seattle due to her father’s job switch. So now, this eternally sunny heroine must deal with the grunge-infused culture shock of the Pacific Northwest. But even surrounded by flannel, drizzle, and teenage drama, Elle still has plenty of pink-powered confidence to go around, whether the world is ready for it or not.

As Elle navigates those formative years, she grows closer to the version of the character we all know and love. At the center of the story is her bond with her family, especially her mother Eva, played by June Diane Raphael, and her father Wyatt, played by Tom Everett Scott.

The ensemble also includes Jacob Moskovitz, Gabrielle Policano, Chandler Kinney, Zac Looker, and Amy Pietz, with the late James Van Der Beek appearing in a recurring role, marking one of his final screen performances.

Created by Laura Kittrell (High School, Insecure), who also serves as co-showrunner and executive producer alongside Caroline Dries, the series has Reese Witherspoon onboard as an executive producer. Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect) directs the first two episodes and also serves as an executive producer.

Produced by Amazon MGM Studios in association with Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine, Elle is already getting a vote of confidence, with Prime Video ordering a second season before the first one even premieres. So yes, Elle Woods is back... she’s just younger, pre-law, and stuck in the mid-’90s.

Elle premieres Wednesday, July 1st on Prime Video.

📺 “Dutton Ranch” Trailer: Kelly Reilly & Cole Hauser Bring Beth and Rip to Texas in Taylor Sheridan’s New ‘Yellowstone’ Spin-Off with Ed Harris & Annette Bening — Premieres Fri, May 15th on Paramount+

For those who loved Beth and Rip from Taylor Sheridan’s hit series Yellowstone, there’s something to celebrate. The fan-favorite power couple is not only coming back this month, but this time they’re leading their own spin-off series. And if you think a change of setting might have mellowed these two, think again.

Apparently, moving to one of the most unforgiving states in the country has only made them tougher... and maybe even a little more dangerous, if that’s even possible.

Taylor Sheridan’s ever-expanding Yellowstone universe continues with Dutton Ranch, a new spin-off following Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler (once again played by Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser) as they leave Montana behind for a fresh start in one of the most unforgiving corners of the country. Of course, fresh starts rarely come easy for a Dutton. Especially when the locals don’t take kindly to outsiders with a reputation for trouble.

This time, Beth and Rip find themselves on the other side of the fence. They’re the gatecrashers now, stepping into territory controlled by ruthless Texas ranchers determined to protect their land and power at any cost. But telling a Dutton to leave has never worked out well for anyone. While facing a new frontier battle where the terrain is different but the danger feels awfully familiar, the stakes feel just as bloody as ever before. The Texas setting brings a harsher edge, filled with uneasy alliances, long-held grudges, and enemies who don’t scare easily.

Oscar nominees Ed Harris and Annette Bening join the cast, adding even more weight to the brewing ranch war as powerful figures taking Beth and Rip head-on.

Finn Little, Jai Courtney, Natalie Alyn Lind, and Marc Menchaca also star, while Chad Feehan (Lawmen: Bass Reeves) serves as creator and showrunner, with Sheridan and John Linson executive producing.

Like the rest of the franchise, Dutton Ranch digs into land, legacy, family, and the cost of holding onto all three. It’s set to premiere Friday, May 15th on Paramount+, with two episodes at launch and weekly installments to follow. So dust off those boots and don’t forget those spurs, because this new dusty showdown looks ready to kick up plenty of trouble.

📺 “The Boroughs” Trailer: Alfred Molina Finds Monsters at His Retirement Community in the Duffer Brothers-Produced Supernatural Mystery Series with Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Clarke Peters, Denis O’Hare & Bill Pullman — Premieres Thurs, May 21st on Netflix

Despite what some might say, once you hit a certain age, life becomes a little different. The children are all grown up. The family home has been packed up and sold off. Retirement is finally coming into view. But the golden years aren’t exactly turning out the way you had in mind.

It’s a little lonely. A little strange. And the people you thought would be at your side for this next chapter aren’t always there the way you expected.

That’s the emotional doorway into The Boroughs, the new twisty Netflix sci-fi mystery series executive produced by the Duffer Brothers, the minds behind Stranger Things. Only instead of kids on bikes discovering monsters in the shadows, this one shifts the supernatural dread to a quiet retirement community, where the residents may be older, slower, and more overlooked... but they’re not imagining things.

At least, we don’t think they are.

Alfred Molina stars as Sam Cooper, a grieving, grumpy newcomer who is having a very difficult time adjusting to life in a sun-soaked New Mexico senior community. After the death of his beloved wife, Sam finds himself forced into a new home, surrounded by friendly neighbors, quiet streets, and the kind of forced cheerfulness that can sometimes feel more unsettling than comforting.

Part of Sam’s struggle comes from grief. Part of it comes from feeling neglected by his family. But the biggest problem is much harder to explain: he thinks there’s something lurking in the neighborhood at night.

And because this is a Duffer Brothers production, he just might be onto something.

The Boroughs takes a familiar late-in-life setup and twists it into something far less comforting and far more life-threatening. The place may look like an average retirement community, but beneath the sunshine and small talk, something otherworldly appears to be preying on the residents. What others dismiss as elderly confusion slowly reveals a darker truth: something is out there, something is watching, and leaving may not be as easy as simply packing a bag.

Molina leads an impressive ensemble that includes Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Clarke Peters, Denis O’Hare, and Bill Pullman. Jena Malone, Carlos Miranda, and Seth Numrich round out the cast, with Dee Wallace and Ed Begley Jr. appearing in guest roles.

Created by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance), with Ben Taylor (Sex Education, Catastrophe) directing the first two episodes, the series also has the Duffer Brothers involved behind the scenes. So expect that familiar mix of eerie mystery, character-driven tension, and ordinary people stumbling into something much stranger than they ever expected. Retirement was supposed to be peaceful. No one said anything about fighting off monsters after bingo night.

The Boroughs premieres Thursday, May 21st on Netflix.

📺 “The Five Star Weekend” Teaser Trailer: Jennifer Garner Heads to Nantucket With Chloë Sevigny, Regina Hall, Gemma Chan & D’Arcy Carden in Peacock’s New Limited Series — Debuts Thurs, July 9th on Peacock

Nothing says healing quite like inviting friends from every era of your life to one gorgeous Nantucket house and hoping nobody brings emotional baggage. Spoiler alert: they always bring emotional baggage.

Based on Elin Hilderbrand’s bestselling novel, The Five Star Weekend brings Jennifer Garner to the New England coast as Hollis Shaw, a beloved food blogger, famed cook, and bestselling author whose life looks pretty close to perfect from the outside. But a closer look reveals something entirely messier underneath.

After Hollis suffers the devastating loss of her husband (Josh Hamilton), the polished surface of her life begins to crack open. Her daughter pulls away, her carefully curated world starts to feel hollow, and her desperate need for validation reveals just how fragile the image she’s built may have been all along. Thus begins a weekend away at her Nantucket home, where she invites four lifelong friends to gather for some much-needed five-star treatment, personal healing, and self-reflection.

Playing Garner’s closest friends in this heartfelt dramedy are Chloë Sevigny as Tatum McKenzie; Regina Hall as Dru-Ann Jones; Gemma Chan as Gigi Ling; and D’Arcy Carden as Brooke Kirtley.

But no emotionally loaded reunion is complete without a few wildcards to keep things interesting. As old friendships are tested, secrets rise to the surface, and boundaries get pushed, these women will be forced to confront the versions of themselves they’ve been carrying around for years. What begins as a luxurious coastal escape soon turns into a weekend of confessions and confrontations. But nothing a few glasses of wine can’t help soften before everything hits the fan.

Developed and executive produced by Bekah Brunstetter, whose producing and writing credits include This Is Us, Switched at Birth, and Maid, the limited series also costars Harlow Jane as Hollis’s daughter, Caroline Shaw; Timothy Olyphant as Jack, Hollis’s former teenage boyfriend; along with David Denman, Rob Huebel, and the always lovely Judy Greer, reuniting with Jennifer Garner after the two starred together in 13 Going on 30.

The Five Star Weekend debuts Thursday, July 9th on Peacock. So, watch it with a friend, preferably one who’s cool with all your unresolved emotional baggage.

📺 “Ted Lasso: Season 4” Teaser Trailer: Jason Sudeikis Returns to Coach a Women’s Football Team — Premieres Wed, August 5th on Apple TV

Welcome back, Coach… ya wanker!

After wrapping up what seemed like a perfectly lovely final lap, Ted Lasso is heading back to the pitch for season four. And because this show has never been shy about leading with heart before strategy, Ted’s latest challenge isn’t just about winning matches. It’s about taking a big swing with a whole new team... the women’s football team, that is.

In season four, comedian Jason Sudeikis returns to Richmond, where he finds his overly hopeful Ted Lasso coaching a second-division women’s football team from the ground up. That means we can expect to be introduced to a new roster of players, new pressure, and probably a whole lot of biscuits, locker-room pep talks, and emotional breakthroughs disguised as sports metaphors.

The new season follows Ted and the team as they learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would. Which, honestly, feels about right for a show built on relentless optimism, awkward honesty, and the radical belief that kindness can somehow survive professional sports.

Returning fan favorites include Emmy winners Hannah Waddingham and Brett Goldstein, along with Juno Temple, Brendan Hunt, and Jeremy Swift. Season four also brings in new cast members Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely.

Emmy-winning writer-producer Jack Burditt, whose credits include Nobody Wants This, Modern Family, and 30 Rock, joins season four as an executive producer. Sudeikis returns as both star and executive producer alongside Joe Kelly, Jane Becker, Jamie Lee, and Bill Wrubel, while Goldstein is back as writer, executive producer, and recurring guest star as veteran footballer Roy Kent.

Developed by Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Kelly, and Hunt, based on the preexisting format and characters from NBC Sports through Doozer Productions, Ted Lasso: Season 4 is slated to premiere Wednesday, August 5th on Apple TV.

📺 “Star City” Trailer: Apple TV’s ‘For All Mankind’ Spinoff Takes the Space Race Behind Soviet Curtain with Rhys Ifans — Premieres Fri, May 29th on Apple TV

The space race looks very different from the other side of the Iron Curtain, especially when history takes a little detour.

In Apple TV’s acclaimed alt-history series For All Mankind, the show has spent years imagining what might have happened if the Soviet Union beat the United States to the Moon, forcing America to push harder, dream bigger, and stretch its space program far beyond the history we know. And now, the story is shifting perspectives.

Star City, the upcoming spinoff series set within the For All Mankind universe and alt-history timeline, takes us back to that pivotal moment when Soviet cosmonauts took the lead in the 1960s space race, beating their American counterparts to the Moon. In this skewed version of history, the new series unfolds from behind Soviet lines, playing with the provocative thought experiment of what might have happened to Russia and its history if it had won the space race first.

Co-created by For All Mankind honcho Ronald D. Moore alongside executive producers Ben Nedivi and Matt Wolpert, the eight-episode series explores the lives of the Russian cosmonauts, engineers, and intelligence officers inside the Soviet space program as they race toward a historic lunar victory. But winning the Moon isn’t just a matter of rockets, math, and national pride. In this version of history, success comes with secrets, paranoia, political pressure, and plenty of people watching from the shadows.

It still seems to be a story about ambition and exploration, but with a sharper focus on the immense pressure that comes with every achievement being tied to state power, personal sacrifice, and the very real danger of failure.

House of the Dragon actor Rhys Ifans leads the ensemble cast, playing the Chief Designer in the ’60s-era Soviet space program. He is joined by Anna Maxwell Martin, Agnes O’Casey, Alice Englert, Solly McLeod, Adam Nagaitis, Ruby Ashbourne Serkis, Josef Davies, and Priya Kansara.

Nedivi and Wolpert serve as showrunners and executive producers alongside Moore, Maril Davis, Andrew Chambliss, and Steve Oster, with Sony Pictures Television producing for Apple TV.

Star City is scheduled to premiere globally on Apple TV with two episodes Friday, May 29th, followed by one new episode every Friday through July 10th. Houston will have a prob...ah scratch that! Moscow, we have a problem, comrade.

📺 “Anne Rice’s The Vampire Lestat” Trailer: Sam Reid Rocks Out as the Infamous Bloodsucker in AMC’s Glam Gothic Rebirth — Premieres Sun, June 7th on AMC and AMC+

People adore vampires. People also adore rock stars. And really, the overlap is hard to ignore: both stay up all night, avoid sunlight like it’s a personal attack, attract obsessive fans, and tend to treat self-destruction less like a warning sign and more like a lifestyle choice.

So, naturally, Lestat de Lioncourt, arguably one of the most theatrical vampires in literary history, was always destined to front his own rock band. Because there’s nothing more on-brand for an immortal narcissist than turning a personal grievance into a full-blown arena show.

Anne Rice’s The Vampire Lestat is AMC’s newly rebranded third season of its critically acclaimed Interview with the Vampire series. And this time, Sam Reid’s infamous bloodsucker is not just stepping back into the spotlight. He’s grabbing the mic, cranking the amps, and giving audiences the full glam-goth vampire rock opera they didn’t know they needed.

Based on Anne Rice’s novel of the same name, The Vampire Lestat picks up after the events of Interview with the Vampire, with Lestat de Lioncourt clawing his way back into public view after feeling more than a little misrepresented in Daniel Molloy’s best-selling book. His response? Naturally, he forms a band, hits the road, and decides to set the record straight in the loudest, flashiest, most gloriously dramatic way possible. It’s a full-blown glam rock spectacle, complete with screaming fans, supernatural theatrics, and the kind of rock-star swagger that only Lestat can pull off.

Of course, old wounds are bound to resurface. Jacob Anderson returns as Louis, watching from a distance as his former vampire companion rewrites their shared history in real time, while Eric Bogosian’s Daniel Molloy continues pressing for the truth. Assad Zaman also returns as Armand, with Jennifer Ehle joining as Lestat’s mother Gabrielle, Christopher Heyerdahl as Marius, Damien Atkins as Magnus, and Ella Ballentine as Baby Jenks.

Showrunner Rolin Jones and executive producer Mark Johnson continue steering AMC’s expanding Anne Rice Immortal Universe, which also includes Mayfair Witches and the upcoming Talamasca: The Secret Order. Composer Daniel Hart also returns, now fusing the show’s lush romantic melancholy with a harder rock edge.

Anne Rice’s The Vampire Lestat is slated to premiere Sunday, June 7th on AMC and AMC+.

📺 “Citadel: Season 2” Trailer: Stanley Tucci Takes Center Stage as Amazon’s Big-Budget Spy Thriller Returns with Richard Madden, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Jack Reynor, and Matt Berry — Premieres Wed, May 6th on Prime Video

The thing about being in the spy game is that it isn’t just about the secrets you must hold. It’s also about the secrets being kept from you. Which begs the question: can you really trust anyone with your life when you can’t even trust your own team to have your back?

Amazon’s big-budget espionage series Citadel returns for its second season, with Stanley Tucci tapping into his inner John Wick as veteran Citadel spymaster Bernard Orlick, who is forced back into action after a major shakeup leaves his international spy organization completely exposed and vulnerable to dangerous enemies. Now unable to trust anyone outside his inner circle, he must figure out a way to pick up the pieces and rebuild his team before rival spy agency Manticore finishes what it started.

Irish actor Jack Reynor, fresh off starring in Lee Cronin’s horror flick The Mummy, joins Tucci as Hutch, a brash Citadel agent who literally rides in to offer Orlick a helping hand, becoming his unlikely partner. First on Orlick’s list is calling in the cavalry in the form of top-ranked Citadel spies Nadia Sinh and Mason Kane, again played by Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Game of Thrones’ Richard Madden, former partners with a long history both on and off the battlefield.

This new season looks to expand the show’s already massive spy-game playground, which already includes two international spinoff series: Italy’s Citadel: Diana and India’s Citadel: Honey Bunny.

Co-created by Josh Appelbaum (Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop), Bryan Oh (Zoo), and David Weil (Amazon’s Hunters), and executive produced by Joe and Anthony Russo and Angela Russo-Otstot under their production banner AGBO, the series has been set up as the flagship title for an ambitious international action franchise for Prime Video. But after lackluster reviews for the show’s first season, which was released back in 2023, it seems Season 2 has something to prove beyond just going bigger.

With more focus on Tucci’s character, this new season seems to be giving the series a clearer center of gravity, leaning into Bernard Orlick’s experience, history, and dry sense of humor while pushing the action into a slightly more playful, darkly comic direction as British comedian Matt Berry joins the cast as Franke Sharpe, a new operative who brings his own offbeat energy to this spy game drama.

Returning cast members include Lesley Manville and Ashleigh Cummings, while Merle Dandridge, Lina El Arabi, Gabriel Leone, and Rayna Vallandingham round out the ensemble.

With Joe Russo and Greg Yaitanes directing episodes this season, Citadel: Season 2 is set to premiere Wednesday, May 6th, exclusively worldwide on Prime Video.

📺 “Spider-Noir” Villains Reveal Promo: Nicolas Cage’s Web-Slinging Gumshoe Faces Silvermane, Sandman, Tombstone, and Megawatt in Amazon’s 1930s Pulp Superhero Series — Debuts Mon, May 25th on MGM+ and Wed, May 27th on Prime Video

📺 “Man on Fire” Trailer: Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Ignites as a Haunted Bodyguard in Netflix’s Gritty Crime Thriller Series — Premieres Thurs, April 30th on Netflix

Fresh from starring in the well-received MCU miniseries Wonder Man, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II heads back to the small screen later this month in another explosive series, trading superpowers for a gritty story about how some heroes are forged in fire.

Based on A. J. Quinnell’s best-selling 1980 crime novel (previously adapted into a 1987 film starring Scott Glenn and, more famously, Tony Scott’s hyper-kinetic 2004 thriller with Denzel Washington), Man on Fire reimagines the story of former Special Forces operative turned bodyguard mercenary John Creasy, with Abdul-Mateen stepping into the role for a new pulse-pounding take.

In this Netflix version, Creasy is a man shaped by violence and weighed down by severe PTSD, searching for some form of redemption. As he tries to step away from that life, he’s hired to protect a wealthy family in Rio de Janeiro. But when the rebellious teenage girl (Billie Boullet, from the Anne Frank miniseries A Small Light) under his watch becomes entangled in a dangerous situation, he’s pulled right back into the chaos he’s been trying to outrun. Now, with a horde of mercenaries closing in, Creasy steps up to become her last line of defense. And he’s a man not only of his word, but of action.

Joining Abdul-Mateen is Alice Braga as Valeria Melo, a street-smart driver with underworld connections, while Scoot McNairy appears as CIA agent Henry Tappan, a calculated presence operating behind the scenes. Bobby Cannavale rounds out the cast as Paul Rayburn, Creasy’s loyal ally who is a former Special Forces soldier whose charm masks a deeper familiarity with violence.

The series is developed by Kyle Killen (creator of NBC’s Awake and co-showrunner of Paramount’s Halo), with filmmaker Steven Caple Jr. (Creed II, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts) directing the first two episodes, setting the tone for a grounded, character-driven thriller that leans into the tension and emotional fallout of a man trying to outrun his past, only to find the fire follows wherever he goes.

Man on Fire is slated to premiere Thursday, April 30th on Netflix.

📺 “The Boroughs” Teaser Trailer: Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Clarke Peters, Denis O’Hare & Bill Pullman Face a Monstrous Threat in Duffer Brothers-Produced Supernatural Horror Series — Premieres Thurs, May 21st on Netflix

In Ron Howard’s classic 1985 sci-fi film Cocoon, a group of elderly residents crosses paths with visiting aliens—a strange encounter that reminds us it’s never too late for a little adventure, and you’re never too old to experience something extraordinary.

Well, the Duffer Brothers, the minds behind the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, have developed a new show that takes that Cocoon concept and twists it into something far less life-affirming and far more life-threatening. Welcome to The Boroughs, a seemingly average retirement community where residents begin to experience something out of the ordinary... like alien-like monsters lurking at night.

Featuring an all-star cast led by Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Clarke Peters, Denis O’Hare, and Bill Pullman, The Boroughs flips that sense of wonder into pure dread. Set in a sun-soaked New Mexico retirement community, the story follows Sam Cooper (Molina), a grieving, grumpy newcomer forced to move into a new home alone after the death of his beloved wife.

Still grappling with that loss, Sam begins to suspect something is deeply wrong with his new surroundings. Sure, the neighbors are friendly, but the people running the place don’t feel quite right. Worse yet, at night, something begins to stir. What others dismiss as elderly confusion soon reveals a darker truth: something otherworldly is preying on the residents… and leaving might not be an option.

Jena Malone, Carlos Miranda, and Seth Numrich round out the cast, with Dee Wallace and Ed Begley Jr. appearing in guest roles.

Created by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance), with acclaimed TV helmer Ben Taylor (Sex Education, Catastrophe) directing the first two episodes, the series aims to blend supernatural horror with late-in-life frustration and creeping paranoia. And knowing it’s produced by the creators of Stranger Things, it’s likely to lean into that same mix of eerie mystery and character-driven tension they’re known for.

The Boroughs premieres Thursday, May 21st on Netflix.

📺 “The Terror: Devil in Silver” Trailer: Dan Stevens Is Trapped in a Nightmarish Psychiatric Hospital in Ridley Scott-Produced Supernatural Horror Series — Premieres Thurs, May 7th on AMC+ and Shudder

There’s something especially unsettling about stories set inside institutions; the kind where the walls are meant to protect, but instead start to feel like a trap. That’s the space this latest chapter of The Terror leans into, trading historical trauma for something far more claustrophobic and psychological.

The Terror: Devil in Silver marks the third installment of the Ridley Scott–produced horror anthology series, following 2018’s The Terror, set on a doomed 1820s Arctic expedition, and 2019’s The Terror: Infamy, which unfolded inside a WWII-era Japanese internment camp. Each season shares a defining thread: an unseen evil lurking within the confines of its setting. In this case, it’s a mental hospital, where curing the patients may be the least of anyone’s concerns.

Dan Stevens stars as Pepper, a working-class guy who, thanks to a streak of bad luck and a short fuse, finds himself wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital. What should be a temporary nightmare quickly turns into something far worse, as Pepper realizes that surviving the patients is only part of the problem.

Things soon spiral beyond his control. The staff aren’t exactly trustworthy, the system feels stacked against him, and whispers of something darker begin to take shape in the shadows. Whether it’s paranoia or something real, Pepper starts to believe there’s an entity feeding off the suffering inside the hospital... and getting out may mean confronting it head-on.

Joining Stevens is a stacked ensemble that includes Judith Light, CCH Pounder, Aasif Mandvi, John Benjamin Hickey, Stephen Root, and Marin Ireland, each adding to a world where every face feels like it’s hiding something... and more often than not, they are.

Originally developed by David Kajganich, this new season, however, is spearheaded by TV writer-producer Chris Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire) alongside author Victor LaValle, adapting his novel into what looks like a slow-burn descent into madness.

Acclaimed filmmaker Karyn Kusama, of The Invitation and Jennifer’s Body fame, directs the first two episodes, setting the tone for a season that turns a hospital into a reflection of just how fragile reality can be. With Ridley Scott continuing on board as an executive producer, the series carries that familiar sense of uneasy dread that has defined The Terror from the start. It’s the kind of horror that aims to get under your skin and refuses to let go.

The Terror: Devil in Silver premieres Thursday, May 7th on AMC+ and Shudder.

📺 “The Punisher: One Last Kill” Trailer: Jon Bernthal Returns as Frank Castle for a Brutal Marvel One-Shot — Premieres Tues, May 12th on Disney+

The big question hanging over this new season of Daredevil: Born Again is a simple one: where the hell is Frank Castle? In a city slipping into something that looks a lot like a ruthless police state, where masked vigilantes are hunted down and locked away in prison camps, you’d have to imagine Castle has a few thoughts on the matter. At least there must be a really good reason why he has gone quiet. Well, apparently, it’s enough to warrant his own spotlight.

Enter The Punisher: One Last Kill, a Marvel Television Special Presentation that checks in on Frank Castle at a moment when he’s trying, at least on paper, to step away from the life that defined him. The setup is straightforward but loaded with emotional tension and rage: Frank attempts to live without the pull of revenge, only to find himself dragged into a conflict he cannot ignore; one that dredges up the torment of his painful past and the loss of his family far too soon. If there’s one thing we know about Castle, it’s that peace doesn’t tend to last very long as fury is a constant companion.

Jon Bernthal returns as the skull-wearing vigilante, once again walking that razor-thin line between controlled restraint and explosive violence. And if the premise suggests anything, it’s that this version of Frank might be wrestling with something deeper than just another target list. This is a different Frank. He’s much more vulnerable and emotionally fragile as he seems to be dealing with his inner demons.

Acclaimed filmmaker Reinaldo Marcus Green directs and co-writes the special alongside Bernthal himself. It’s a reunion that makes sense: Green and Bernthal previously teamed up on King Richard and HBO’s We Own This City, the latter earning Bernthal some of the strongest reviews of his career for his portrayal of corrupt Baltimore cop Wayne Jenkins. Clearly, the creative shorthand is already there, and this project feels like two very talented artists getting together to play in a Marvel sandbox.

As for where this fits into the bigger Marvel picture, that’s where things get interesting. With Spider-Man: Brand New Day arriving just a month later, and Bernthal already confirmed to appear alongside Tom Holland, the timing raises some obvious questions. Namely: how does Frank Castle cross paths with Peter Parker, and does this special lay the groundwork for that collision?

We’ll find out soon enough when The Punisher: One Last Kill premieres Tuesday, May 12th on Disney+.

📺 “Half Man” Trailer: Baby Reindeer’s Richard Gadd and Jamie Bell Play Fractured Brothers in This Dark, Decades-Spanning British Drama — Premiering Thurs, April 23rd on HBO MAX

If Baby Reindeer proved anything, it’s that Richard Gadd isn’t afraid to dig into the parts of human behavior most people would rather avoid. That series turned personal trauma into something unsettling and intimate. Now, Gadd returns with a story that shifts the focus inward. The focus is now toward makeshift families and the kind of bonds that don’t easily break... until they do. And when they do, so does everything built around them.

In the upcoming HBO limited series Half Man, Gadd stars alongside Jamie Bell (of Rocketman and All of Us Strangers) in a decades-spanning drama about two men bound together by circumstance rather than blood. Gadd’s Ruben and Bell’s Niall grew up as brothers in everything but name. Ruben is fierce, loyal and at times extremely volatile, while Niall has always been quiet and reserved since childhood. But when they reunite years later at a wedding, something feels off. Ruben isn’t the same, and whatever’s changed soon erupts into violence that sends the story spiraling backward through their shared past, tracing the fractures that led them here.

The drama unfolds across 30 years, moving from the 1980s to the present, peeling back layers of loyalty, resentment, and buried trauma. What begins as a story about brotherhood and deep friendship gradually reveals something far more erratic, where emotional dependence and identity blur into something harder to define... and harder to control. Ruben and Niall aren’t just close friends and brothers by marriage but also have shared a long history making them the only people in the world who know how each other is wired. But it’s that intimacy that makes them so dangerous to one another.

Gadd and Bell lead a strong ensemble that includes Stuart Campbell, Mitchell Robertson, Neve McIntosh, Marianne McIvor, and Bilal Hasna, among others. Behind the camera, Alexandra Brodski and Eshref Reybrouck direct, with Gadd also serving as creator, writer, and executive producer.

At this point, Gadd is carving out a lane that feels distinctly his own; one that leans directly into discomfort, vulnerability, and the uneasy truth that the people closest to us can also be the ones who know exactly how to destroy us. With such a willingness to go down some very dark corridors of the human psyche, Gadd is both a performer and writer with the ability to examine personal toxicity and how it relates to identity and connection. If Baby Reindeer was an exploration on how personal trauma can attract troublingly unhinged people in your inner circle, this new series seems to ask, what if those unhinged people happened to become a part of your family.

Half Man is slated to premiere Thursday, April 23rd on HBO MAX.

📺 “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed” Teaser: Tatiana Maslany Spirals Into Blackmail, Murder, and Suburban Chaos in This Darkly Comedic Thriller Series with Jake Johnson — Premiering Wed, May 20th on Apple TV

Count us among those who believe Tatiana Maslany is a true talent. Also count us among those who believe her time spent starring in the She-Hulk series might not have been the best use of her acting chops. But call us crazy, her latest series just might be the role that finally reminds us why she deserves better, as she gets to play in a space that suits her far better than what Marvel had to offer. Here, she’s playing a working mother stifled by obsession and blackmail while barely treading water. In other words, Tatiana Maslany gets to go full Maslany.

In Apple’s upcoming dark comedy thriller Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, Maslany looks like she’s finally been handed a character that lets her chew up scenery in all the best, messiest ways. She plays Paula, a newly divorced mom who’s barely holding it together. Between custody battles, an identity crisis, and the everyday chaos of parenting, she’s already stretched thin. But things take a sharp turn when she becomes convinced she’s witnessed a crime, sending her down a rabbit hole that pulls in blackmail, murder, and—somehow—youth soccer.

From there, things begin to spiral as her personal investigation starts uncovering something much bigger. The deeper Paula digs into the mystery, the more it becomes clear she’s stepped into something far more dangerous than she ever expected. And as she tries to hold her life together, everything around her begins to fall apart.

Maslany is joined by Jake Johnson and Dolly de Leon, with Charlie Hall and Murray Bartlett rounding out the ensemble.

The series hails from creator and showrunner David J. Rosen (Us & Them), with David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express, the Halloween reboot franchise) on board to direct and executive produce. That pairing points to a tone that leans into character-driven tension and real danger, with just enough humor to keep the chaos feeling unpredictable.

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed is due to premiere Wednesday, May 20th on Apple TV.

📺 “M.I.A.” Trailer: A Cartel Massacre Ignites A Young Woman’s Relentless Quest for Payback in This Gritty Miami Crime Series from the Co-Creator of ‘Ozark,’ Starring Shannon Gisela — Premieres Thursday, May 7th on Peacock

South Florida is known for its sunny beaches, gorgeous ocean waters, vibrant culture, and neon-lit party scene. People from around the world flock there to soak it all in. But let’s face it, that doesn’t make for great television. That’s why most shows set in this part of the state lean into its criminal underworld, as South Florida also has a long history tied to drug trafficking. And when there’s blood in the water, revenge is never far behind.

From Ozark co-creator Bill Dubuque, with Dexter veteran Karen Campbell serving as showrunner, M.I.A. is a new Miami-set crime thriller series that taps newcomer Shannon Gisela (in her first major acting role) as Etta Tiger Jonze, a restless young woman stuck in the Florida Keys, dreaming of something bigger across the water. That dream quickly turns into a nightmare when her entire family is slaughtered by the cartel, leaving her with nothing but grief, anger, and a growing list of names.

As she sets off a revenge-driven descent into Miami’s underworld, Etta is forced to adapt fast or disappear. She’s not just running anymore... she’s hunting. And with a dozen targets tied to her family’s destruction, she must navigate a world of shifting alliances and constant danger. Along the way, she finds unlikely allies in Lovely (Brittany Adebumola) and Stanley (Dylan T. Jackson), forming a tight-knit trio that reflects the city itself: a collision of communities, cultures, and survival instincts. It’s a mix that gives the series its own spicy flavor, where every interaction carries risks and every move could be the wrong (and last) one. Just when you thought South Florida couldn’t get any more heated, here comes a woman destined to burn it all down.

Alethea Jones (High Potential, Spider-Noir) directs the opening episodes, setting the tone for what looks like a slick, character-driven crime saga that’s a mix of Miami Vice, Scarface, and Kill Bill.

The cast also includes Cary Elwes as a local detective watching the clues trickle in as Etta blazes a trail of carnage. Elwes is joined by Danay Garcia, Alberto Guerra, Maurice Compte, Gerardo Celasco, and Marta Milans, with guest appearances from Edward James Olmos and Sonia Braga, along with Billy Burke, Loretta Devine, and more.

M.I.A. premieres Thursday, May 7th on Peacock.

Created by Neil Forsyth, this true-story thriller turns a covert operation into a tense game of survival where the line between who they are and who they pretend to be is as fragile as their cover.

📺 “4x20: Quick Hits” Trailer: Four Doc Shorts Roll Up a Smoky Celebration of Cannabis Culture Across Film, Media, and Art — Debuts Mon, April 20th (4/20) on Hulu/Disney+

📺 “Beef: Season 2” Trailer: Oscar Isaac & Carey Mulligan Reunite as a Fractured Couple at the Center of a Country Club Power Struggle in Emmy-Winning Series with Cailee Spaeny, Charles Melton, Youn Yuh-jung & Song Kang-ho — Premieres Thurs, April 16th on Netflix

It’s an Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan reunion!

The two have a track record of playing complicated couples. In Nicolas Winding Refn’s 2011 neo-noir thriller Drive, Isaac portrayed a husband fresh out of prison who returns home to find his wife (Mulligan) and young son have grown close to their neighbor (Ryan Gosling), a professional getaway driver. In Joel and Ethan Coen’s 2013 1960s folk singer dramedy Inside Llewyn Davis, Mulligan played the pregnant, on-again, off-again girlfriend of Isaac’s struggling musician, pushing him to take responsibility for his life.

Now, 13 years after Inside Llewyn Davis, Isaac and Mulligan are back together once again as a couple in Season 2 of the Emmy-winning Netflix series Beef, but this time navigating a new set of complicated dynamics that might lead to even deeper fractures... or worse, violence.

If season one of Beef was focused on themes of class disparity and socioeconomic tension, season two seems to pivot toward the generational divide between two different couples: one suffering through years of dysfunction and resentment, and the other still in the honeymoon phase of their relationship. Though we imagine class tensions will still play a part, with this season set against the manicured backdrop of an exclusive country club.

Created, written, and partly directed by Lee Sung Jin, who went on to win three Emmys for the series, the show found a sharp, darkly funny way to explore just how far people are willing to go when pushed to the edge. While season one began with a minor road-rage incident, this new season seems to kick off with a moment that feels almost accidental: a young Gen Z couple (played by Wake Up Dead Man’s Cailee Spaeny and Warfare’s Charles Melton) witnesses an intensely personal argument between an older pair (Isaac and Mulligan), where their fight might even turn physical before their presence interrupts it. That single moment sets the stage for another slow-burn escalation where nothing stays quiet for long.

Here, Isaac plays Josh Martín, the general manager of an elite country club, eager to impress his bosses as the club’s elderly billionaire owner (played by Oscar-winning Korean actress Youn Yuh-jung, of Minari) arrives for a high-stakes visit, accompanied by her personal doctor and second husband, played by Parasite star Song Kang-ho. Mulligan plays Josh’s wife, Lindsay, who feels a bit out of her depth as she is forced to show support and put on a strong front, even though her marriage appears to be unraveling behind closed doors.

Josh and Lindsay’s polished facade is put in jeopardy when Austin and Ashley (Melton and Spaeny), a newly married couple and staff members at the country club, accidentally stumble into their private turmoil, setting the stage for a tension-filled season where boiling animosities begin to spill over.

Co-starring William Fichtner, Mikaela Hoover, and K-pop rapper BM, Beef is set to return with Season 2 on Thursday, April 16th, only on Netflix.

📺 “Euphoria: Season 3” New Trailer: Zendaya Returns as Rue Faces New Dangers Beyond High School in Likely Final Chapter of HBO’s Emmy-Winning Drama with Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow & Hunter Schafer — Premieres Sun, April 12th on HBO

Euphoria might go down as one of the most cutting-edge shows in recent memory. Not necessarily because of the subject matter of its stories, although they are pretty provocative, but because of its now-iconic cast. It may ultimately be remembered as the show that launched several of Hollywood’s biggest stars, while also giving them bold material to really showcase what they can do.

As a new third season (likely its final chapter) is set to debut this month, it feels less like a continuation and more like a reunion, catching up with where these characters have landed. Much of that shift comes from the time jump, which moves the story several years ahead, placing everyone firmly beyond their high school years. After all, it’s been about four years since Season 2 premiered, with delays largely tied to the writers’ and actors’ strikes, along with a cast that has since become busier and in high demand.

Series honcho Sam Levinson shapes this new season into a natural evolution, showing how much these characters have changed while still remaining tethered to the trauma and choices that defined them. Zendaya’s Rue is still trying to stay afloat, juggling addiction and mounting debts while attempting to stay clean and hold herself together. But when she crosses paths with a dangerous new figure (played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), she’s pulled deeper into trouble, ultimately landing in Mexico accused of being a drug mule. Meanwhile, her former classmates are facing their own uneasy transitions into adulthood.

Nate (Jacob Elordi) is now running his own construction business, while his new bride, Cassie (Sydney Sweeney), is carving out her own lane as a paid online model—only to drift into darker territory with the help of Maddy (Alexa Demie). Jules (Hunter Schafer), meanwhile, is living a more isolated, upscale life that comes with its own complications, seemingly working as a high-end call girl. On the other end is Lexi (Maude Apatow), now working in the television industry under a demanding boss (played by Sarah Stone). Everyone’s grown... but not necessarily grown out of their bad habits.

Rounding out the cast are newcomers Danielle Deadwyler, Marshawn Lynch, Natasha Lyonne, Rosalía, and Kadeem Hardison, while the late Eric Dane returns one last time as Nate’s father, Cal; a man whose past remains tangled with Jules.

Produced with A24, the series remains one of HBO’s biggest hits, with 25 Emmy nominations and nine wins across its first two seasons. Season 3 premieres Sunday, April 12th on HBO, with episodes streaming weekly on HBO Max. Sure, the setting may have changed... but the instability hasn’t.

📺 “Cape Fear” Teaser: Javier Bardem Steps Into an Iconic Villain Role of Max Cady in Apple’s Modern Reimagining with Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson — Premieres June 5th on Apple TV

When director Martin Scorsese took on the tense 1991 thriller Cape Fear, many critics questioned his decision to revisit a classic like the 1962 original. What could he possibly bring to the story? Well, for one, it delivered one of Robert De Niro’s most unhinged and terrifying performances to date; a truly mesmerizing turn that we’re still quoting today: “Heeeey, counselor! Is that you?”

Max Cady might be one of the most fascinating villains ever put to screen, someone who is justified in feeling wronged by the system that failed him, but also rightly deserves to be put behind bars for the rest of his life. Mainly because he’s a sociopath capable of calculated cruelty. He’s a convicted killer whose own attorney deliberately withheld evidence that could have altered his fate. Now, most movies would stop there, with the attorney deemed a hero for putting a dangerous man behind bars, despite the questionable ethics it took to do so. Cape Fear, on the other hand, puts those ethics on trial, where Max Cady becomes both judge and executioner.

So, it’s such a juicy part. Who could possibly follow what Robert De Niro did in the 1991 version... or even what Robert Mitchum did in the 1962 original? Well, none other than Anton Chigurh—that’s who.

Oscar-winning actor Javier Bardem will once again tap into that same dark intensity, this time playing his version of Max Cady for an upcoming Apple TV series, also starring Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson.

Produced by both Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg, this modern take on Cape Fear will seemingly follow the same core story: set against a blistering summer in the South, convicted killer Max Cady is released from prison after finding a way to overturn his life sentence. Now setting his sights on defense attorney Tom Bowden (Wilson), whom he believes betrayed him, Cady is extremely deliberate in how he operates within the boundaries of the law to torment and stalk Tom, his wife (Adams), and their teenage child. Things come to a head when Tom makes the decision to take a more aggressive approach to protect his family, triggering a volatile showdown that places everyone in jeopardy.

Created by Nick Antosca (A Friend of the Family, The Act), with filmmaker Morten Tyldum (The Imitation Game) directing the pilot, the ten-episode thriller draws from both John D. MacDonald’s novel The Executioners and the previous film adaptations, offering a modern reimagining of a classic that shows just how thin the line between justice and revenge can be.

Cape Fear premieres Friday, June 5th on Apple TV.

📺 “Widow’s Bay” Teaser: Matthew Rhys Plays a Mayor Battling Small-Town Curses in Apple’s Darkly Comic Supernatural Series — Premieres Wed, April 29th on Apple TV

Every small town has its charming history. But sometimes that charm hides something far darker than anyone would want to admit. But for a mayor looking to boost its tourism, it’s going to be a major problem if the town has a sinister reputation to shake.

That’s the issue Matthew Rhys is facing in this new Apple original series Widow’s Bay, a darkly comic supernatural series set on a foggy island off the New England coast, where a small-town community is struggling as it grapples with bad rumors and local legends that might not be that far from the truth.

Rhys, who is mostly known for his dramatic work in such shows as The Americans, Perry Mason, and The Beast in Me, gets to show off some of that dry wit as Mayor Tom Loftis, a well-meaning but outmatched local official determined to revive the town by turning it into a tourist hotspot, despite one major problem: the island has no Wi-Fi, barely any signal, and a reputation for being cursed.

Against the warnings of locals who know better, Loftis pushes forward with his plan... and somehow, it works. Visitors start arriving, bringing new life (and money) into the town. But the moment things begin to look up, the stories everyone dismissed as superstition start to prove themselves very real, turning this seaside getaway into a nightmare.

Co-created by comic screenwriter Katie Dippold (The Heat, Haunted Mansion) and co-created and partly directed by Hiro Murai (Barry, The Bear), the series leans into a mix of offbeat humor and creeping horror, balancing civic ambition with supernatural mayhem. Rhys leads a strong ensemble that includes Kate O’Flynn, Stephen Root, Kevin Carroll, Kingston Rumi Southwick, and Dale Dickey, all navigating a small New England town where supernatural forces might know the island better than its residents.

With additional episodes directed by filmmakers Ti West (Pearl, MaXXXine), Andrew DeYoung (Friendship), and Sam Donovan, Widow’s Bay is slated to premiere Wednesday, April 29th on Apple TV.

📺 “Amadeus” U.S. Trailer: Will Sharpe and Paul Bettany Ignite a Legendary Rivalry Fueled by Genius, Jealousy, and Obsession in This New British Miniseries — Streaming May 8th on STARZ

More than 40 years after director Miloš Forman’s classic Amadeus, a new British miniseries revisits the volatile world of Mozart and Salieri... where genius dazzles, but envy cuts deeper. Like the 1984 film, this leans into the dark, often satirical side of fame, exploring how talent, ego, and insecurity collide in a world that doesn’t always reward brilliance.

Will Sharpe (The White Lotus: Season 2) plays Mozart as a bold, volatile force arriving in Vienna hungry for freedom and recognition, while Paul Bettany (WandaVision, Avengers) brings a simmering intensity to Salieri, a devout composer and the King-appointed court musician, shaken by the realization that Mozart’s talent may be both a divine gift and his personal torment. Created and written by Joe Barton (Giri/Haji, The Lazarus Project), this marks a new take on the 1979 stage play that inspired the Oscar-winning film. Some geniuses inspire awe. Others invite ire.

Featuring voices from Whoopi Goldberg, Aparna Nancherla, Gil Ozeri, Amy Sedaris, John Waters, and Plaza herself, this offbeat comedy leans into existential dread with claws out and humor intact.

📺 “Stranger Things: Tales From ‘85” New Trailer: The Duffer Brothers Rewind to Winter 1985 With an All-New Animated Spinoff Packed With Monsters, Mystery, and a Lot of ’80s Vibes — Premiering Thurs, April 23rd on Netflix

Just when we thought Netflix was done with Stranger Things, along come the inevitable spinoffs. This time, it’s an all-new animated series that returns to the town of Hawkins and unfolds during the winter break between Seasons 2 and 3. And if the show’s finale was set in November 1987, this rewinds the clock back two years to when the Hawkins gang were still a bit younger and a lot more naive about the Upside Down.

Harkening to the style and energy of classic ’80s Saturday morning cartoons, this animated throwback finds Eleven, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Will, and Max still balancing friendship, D&D, and the illusion of normalcy. But of course, this is Hawkins, and normal never lasts long. Just beneath the frozen surface, something new is stirring… something that suggests the danger never really left.

With showrunner Eric Robles (of Nickelodeon’s Fanboy & Chum Chum and Glitch Techs) at the helm and the Duffer Brothers producing, the animated series seems to be leaning into ’80s nostalgia while also hinting at a darker undercurrent as the kids get pulled into another monster-filled mystery that feels smaller in scale but just as unsettling.

Between snowball fights and winter hijinks, the Hawkins crew may think they’re catching a break. But in this town, even a quiet season comes with a chilling catch.

Produced by Flying Bark Studios and featuring an all-new voice cast of young actors taking on the lead roles, Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 is slated to premiere Thursday, April 23rd on Netflix.

📺 “Running Point: Season 2” Trailer: Kate Hudson Returns to Face Family Power Plays and Championship Pressure in Netflix’s Basketball Comedy Series — Premiering Thurs, April 23rd on Netflix

Fresh off her Oscar nomination for her lead performance in the musical drama Song Sung Blue, Kate Hudson returns to more familiar territory, reprising her role as the ever-driven Isla Gordon in Season 2 of Netflix’s Running Point.

Executive produced by Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss, the comedy series is a wildly exaggerated fictional take on Buss’s life as a woman raised in a basketball dynasty who had to prove she was more than capable of taking over the family’s business as the team’s new president.

In Season One, Hudson’s Isla Gordon, a reformed socialite, found herself thrust into the top job of the professional basketball team, the Los Angeles Waves, after her older brother was pushed out following a public scandal. Stuck in the shadow of her famous father and second-guessed by her own brothers, Isla pushed past public skepticism to prove she was more than just a temporary fix.

Now heading into Season Two, Isla is no longer the surprise choice. She’s the one firmly under the spotlight. With the franchise finally steadying after last season’s fallout, she’s determined to prove she deserves the job, even as her brother Cam (Justin Theroux) quietly begins maneuvering for a comeback behind the scenes.

As power struggles heat up within both the organization and her own family, Isla must juggle boardroom politics, locker room egos, and the pressure of chasing a championship, all while navigating a family dynamic where loyalty rarely lasts and winning tends to smooth over everything.

Scott MacArthur, Drew Tarver, and Fabrizio Guido return as the Gordon siblings, while Brenda Song’s Ali, Isla’s best friend and the team’s chief of staff, may be eyeing ambitions of her own this time around. Meanwhile, players like Toby Sandeman’s Marcus Winfield and Chet Hanks’ unpredictable Travis Bugg keep the on-court drama just as volatile.

From executive producers and co-creators Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen, Running Point: Season 2 premieres Thursday, April 23rd on Netflix.

📺 “Unchosen” Trailer: A Devoted Wife Faces a Crisis of Faith When a Fugitive Outsider Disrupts Her Religious Community in This British Psychological Thriller Starring Molly Windsor, Asa Butterfield, Fra Fee & Christopher Eccleston — Premiering Tues, April 21st on Netflix

Community is something one might take for granted, until you realize just how much it can shape your entire world. Sure, a community can offer safety, belonging, even a sense of purpose. But it can also come at the cost of freedom and self-autonomy. And sometimes, it takes an outsider to show you just how much you’ve given up to stay within it. Add religion to the mix, and what once felt like a simple circle of friends and family can become something far more complicated… maybe even a psychological cage you don’t realize you’re living in.

That’s exactly the space Unchosen operates in, a new British thriller series from creator Julie Gearey (Intergalactic, Prisoners Wives) that drops us inside a cloistered religious sect where faith isn’t just a way of life… it’s the rulebook.

At the center is Rosie, played by Molly Windsor (Three Girls), a devoted wife and mother whose world begins to quietly unravel when an outsider arrives, asking for help and salvation. What begins as a portrait of structured devotion soon shifts into something far more uneasy. Rosie’s marriage to her husband Adam (played by Sex Education’s Asa Butterfield) is already showing signs of strain, but the arrival of a mysterious stranger named Sam (Fra Fee, from Hawkeye and Rebel Moon) throws everything into sharper focus. As Rosie starts to notice the cracks in the system she once trusted, her growing connection to Sam begins to complicate everything she thought she believed. But when it’s revealed that Sam is a wanted fugitive on the run, Rosie spirals into a deeply personal crisis of faith that threatens to unravel everything she thought she knew.

The six-episode series is directed by British TV helmers Jim Loach (Criminal Record, Save Me) and Philippa Langdale (A Discovery of Witches, Dickensian), each taking on three episodes, with Gearey writing and executive producing. The series leans into a growing sense of control slipping away, both within the community and behind closed doors at home.

Acclaimed actor Christopher Eccleston (The Leftovers, Doctor Who) also stars as the community’s authoritative preacher, with Happy Valley alum Siobhan Finneran rounding out the cast as his wife. If the trailer is any indication, this isn’t an indictment on religion per se, but rather a look at how faith can be weaponized to control... and how fragile some communities can be when that control is challenged.

Unchosen debuts Tuesday, April 21st on Netflix.

📺 “Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord” Trailer: Sam Witwer Voices the Vengeful Sith as He Seeks a New Apprentice in Dave Filoni’s Dark Animated Series — Premieres Mon, April 6th on Disney+

There are certain traditions in Star Wars lore: for instance, no matter whether you’re a Jedi Master or a Sith Lord, there’s always an apprentice by your side. It’s a custom that George Lucas picked up from classic mythology and samurai and martial arts traditions. The idea here is that knowledge is always passed down, and to truly harness the Force, one must first complete the journey from apprentice to master.

Now picture that dilemma for someone like Darth Maul, a fallen Sith who has a bone to pick with the Empire after a double cross and a failed assassination. Now driven by revenge, he must choose someone to take under his wing, shaping them into a powerful weapon to help him destroy the Empire himself. That’s the basic gist behind Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, the upcoming animated series from new Lucasfilm honcho Dave Filoni.

Featuring the voice talents of longtime Lucasfilm collaborator Sam Witwer as Maul, the series finally taps into the character’s long-untapped potential, placing the former Sith at the center of his own story. Set in the uneasy aftermath of The Clone Wars, Maul is no longer a servant of the Galactic Empire, leaving him to rebuild from the shadows. While piecing together his revenge against the Empire, Maul quietly searches for a new apprentice to train.

As Maul sets his sights on a young Twi’lek Jedi apprentice named Devon Izara (voiced by Blockers actress Gideon Adlon), others who share the same disdain for the Empire begin to wonder if Maul could be an ally… or an even more dangerous villain.

British comedian Richard Ayoade and recent Oscar-nominee Wagner Moura, of The Secret Agent, round out the voice cast, while Filoni serves as creator and co-showrunner alongside Matt Michnovetz as they continue expanding the animated side of the Star Wars universe with a darker, more character-driven focus. And if the trailer is any indication, this is Maul stepping out of the margins and finally showing what he’s capable of when he’s calling the shots.

Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord premieres Monday, April 6th on Disney+.

📺 “This Is a Gardening Show” Trailer: Zach Galifianakis Digs Into Dirt, Curiosity, and Connection in Netflix’s Whimsical New Gardening Series — Premieres Wed, April 22nd on Netflix

Comedian Zach Galifianakis is a man of many talents: he can make us laugh until our bellies hurt, he can star in big blockbuster comedies, and he can even pull off extremely awkward sit-down interviews with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, with nothing but two ferns behind him. Now add gardening to his toolbox, as he digs into a new Netflix series that swaps punchlines for plant life. Though knowing Zach, things are bound to get a little weird along the way.

In the upcoming agriculture series This Is a Gardening Show, Galifianakis (who, many might not know, owns a farm in North Carolina) steps into a world usually reserved for green thumbs and seasoned pros. But who needs another boring gardening show when Galifianakis brings his trademark offbeat charm, curiosity, and disarming honesty into the mix, learning as he goes and keeping things anything but traditional.

“If I were to offer a remedy to the human condition, it would be a garden,” Galifianakis asserts in this trailer for the upcoming series before dropping his signature deadpan, “or acid.”

What starts as a simple attempt to learn about gardening gradually opens into something more human: whimsical conversations, small observations, and a genuine appreciation for the people and environments around him. And that’s really the hook. This seemingly simple series isn’t about mastering techniques or building the perfect garden. It’s about slowing down, paying attention, and finding a connection… to the earth, to others, and maybe even to yourself.

This Is a Gardening Show premieres Tuesday, April 22nd on Netflix.

📺 “Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness” First Look Clip: Larry David Turns America’s 250th Anniversary Into a Comedy of Complaints in HBO’s New Sketch Series — Premiering Fri, June 26 on HBO/HBO Max

Let’s face it, we’re living in strange times. What’s up feels like down. And what’s supposed to be right suddenly feels completely wrong. So when it comes time to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary this July, you might imagine gathering some of our greatest historians and maybe even having Ken Burns film something to commemorate the moment. But then again, that might be a little too sensible.

So, enter Larry David!

Because he might actually be the perfect voice for the moment; someone who understands that America seems to be going through something right now, and that maybe the best way to process it is to laugh at what came before as we try to figure out where we are.

Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness is a new HBO original limited sketch series from Curb Your Enthusiasm creator and star Larry David, who is once again joined by his longtime Curb producing and writing collaborator Jeff Schaffer. The two both write and executive produce the project, with Schaffer also directing.

Produced by Higher Ground, the production company founded by former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, the official setup is that the Obamas wanted to honor America’s 250th anniversary with a celebration of the nation’s unique history. And who better than Larry David to call when you want to revisit America’s past... and complain about it along the way?

Besides David himself, the seven-episode comedy series will feature appearances from several familiar faces from Curb Your Enthusiasm, alongside a number of guest stars popping in throughout the run. And if David’s past work is any indication, viewers can probably expect a celebration of American history that quickly spirals into awkward misunderstandings, petty arguments, and wildly misread social cues... the kind that only Larry David can deliver.

Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness is slated to premiere Friday, June 26th on HBO and will also be available to stream on HBO Max.

📺 “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair” Trailer: Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston & Jane Kaczmarek Return for Hal and Lois’s 40th Anniversary in This Four-Episode Reunion Special — Premiering Fri, April 10th on Hulu/Disney+

Long before Bryan Cranston became globally recognized as Walter White in the Emmy-winning drama Breaking Bad, he was best known as Malcolm’s absent-minded dad in the beloved early-2000s sitcom Malcolm in the Middle. Here’s a fun fact: both characters were known to walk around in their tighty-whities, perhaps giving Cranston the rare distinction of being the actor we’ve most often seen in his underwear... or barely dressed at all.

So why give up a good thing?

Cranston returns as Hal, the well-meaning doofus patriarch, in this upcoming Malcolm in the Middle reunion event where… yes!… he’s back in the buff, getting nicely groomed for the occasion. But it’s nothing we haven’t seen before.

Nearly two decades after the original sitcom signed off, the Wilkerson clan is back in Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair, a four-part reunion special that doubles as both a nostalgia trip and a reminder that some families never really change.

Frankie Muniz returns as Malcolm, who is now in his 40s and has a teen daughter of his own. Muniz joins Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek back as Hal and Lois, with original cast members Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield also returning as Malcolm’s brothers Francis and Reese.

The reunion centers around Hal and Lois celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary, an event that, in any normal family, might involve a heartfelt toast and a quiet dinner. But when this particular household gathers under one roof, chaos isn’t just inevitable—it’s practically the guest of honor.

These days, Malcolm is a working father raising a teenage daughter (played by Keeley Karsten). And much like his own dad before him, he’s discovering that parenting comes with a few lingering emotional scars. Malcolm’s life had been going pretty smoothly, too... well, at least as long as he kept a healthy distance from his family. But that plan, as it turns out, was never going to last.

The reunion special also introduces a few new faces. Caleb Ellsworth-Clark steps in as Dewey, replacing Erik Per Sullivan, who retired from acting after the original series ended. Kiana Madeira joins the cast as Malcolm’s girlfriend Tristan, while Emy Coligado returns as Piama, Francis’s sharp-tongued Alaskan wife. Meanwhile, Vaughan Murrae plays Kelly, the youngest sibling teased in the show’s finale when Lois revealed she was pregnant with a daughter.

Series creator Linwood Boomer returns as writer and executive producer for the revival, bringing the family back together for four 30-minute episodes likely packed with the same manic energy that made the original sitcom such a favorite.

Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair premieres Friday, April 10th as a Hulu and Disney+ exclusive comedy special.

📺 “Man on Fire” Teaser Trailer: Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Steps Into the Role of Revenge-Driven Bodyguard John Creasy in Netflix’s Gritty New Series Adaptation — Premiering Thurs, April 30th on Netflix

Here’s something most people might not know offhand: Tony Scott’s blistering 2004 action film Man on Fire, starring Denzel Washington as John Creasy, a former CIA operative turned bodyguard mercenary who launches a violent crusade after the girl he was hired to protect is kidnapped, was actually a remake of sorts. An earlier version was released in 1987, starring Scott Glenn as Creasy and drawing from the same source material, A. J. Quinnell’s best-selling 1980 crime novel.

So, before people get all bent out of shape to learn that Netflix has made a new remake, know this: as much as we all loved Tony Scott and Denzel Washington’s version, it wasn’t exactly the original.

Developed by Kyle Killen (creator of NBC’s Awake and co-showrunner of Paramount’s Halo), this new Netflix series has Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stepping into the role of the haunted protector John Creasy. Fresh off his starring role as Marvel’s Wonder Man, Abdul-Mateen goes from Hollywood’s latest superhero to an unstoppable force as Creasy, a once-elite Special Forces mercenary known for surviving the most brutal and unforgiving environments imaginable. Plagued by severe PTSD from years of a violent career and wrestling with his own personal demons, Creasy sets out in search of redemption and a chance to rebuild a life beyond conflict.

Unfortunately, peace doesn’t come easily for a man like Creasy. He’s quickly pulled back into chaos when violence erupts around a young girl caught in the middle of dangerous forces. Once again, Creasy becomes the man standing between innocence and destruction… a man on fire.

Joining Abdul-Mateen is a strong supporting cast that includes Billie Boullet (star of the Anne Frank miniseries A Small Light) as Poe Rayburn, a rebellious teenager struggling to adjust to life in Rio, Brazil, whose world changes after witnessing a traumatic event that puts her in grave danger.

Others in the cast include Alice Braga (City of God, Elysium) as Valeria Melo, a skilled driver with ties to the criminal underworld who becomes one of Creasy’s closest allies, while Scoot McNairy (A Complete Unknown, True Detective) appears as CIA field agent Henry Tappan, a calculating intelligence officer operating in Brazil. Bobby Cannavale (Scarpetta, Boardwalk Empire) guest stars as Paul Rayburn, a former Special Forces soldier whose sharp instincts and paternal charm hide a deep familiarity with violence.

Filmmaker Steven Caple Jr. (Creed II, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts) directs the first two episodes of the seven-episode season, helping set the tone for what promises to be a gritty, character-driven, action-packed thriller where one man tries to escape the flames of his past, only to have the fire find him wherever he goes.

Man on Fire premieres Thursday, April 30th on Netflix.

📺 “Bait” Trailer: Riz Ahmed Plays a Struggling Actor Suddenly in the Running to Become the Next James Bond in Amazon’s New Comedy Series — Premiering Wed, March 25th on Prime Video

For any actor, getting the chance to audition for a dream role means everything. But what if that audition was for James Bond? And what if word got out that you were in the running? It might be life-changing… but it would also place enormous pressure on your shoulders, along with a wave of backlash before you even know whether you got the part or not.

That’s the type of predicament facing Riz Ahmed in Bait, a new Amazon comedy series that turns one actor’s career-defining opportunity into four days of escalating chaos. It’s a meta comedy examining the pressures of instant fame, immediate fan expectations, and the relentless noise that surrounds a role as iconic as James Bond—a once-in-a-lifetime part where everyone in the world suddenly has an opinion.

Ahmed created the series and also stars as Shah Latif, a struggling British-Pakistani actor whose long-awaited audition suddenly places him on the shortlist to become the next James Bond. While that kind of opportunity might sound like a dream come true, the pressure quickly begins to mount, turning Shah’s life upside down. Over the course of four increasingly wild days, his world starts to spiral as family, friends, and even his ex-lover weigh in on whether he’s truly the right man for the iconic role. And as anyone with a loud, opinionated family knows, the people rooting for you can sometimes be the biggest source of stress.

Joining Ahmed in this meta satire is a strong ensemble of South Asian actors and comedians, including Guz Khan, Sheeba Chaddha, Sajid Hasan, Aasiya Shah, Weruche Opia, and Ritu Arya. Meanwhile, Rafe Spall co-stars as Ahmed’s agent, working overtime to secure the coveted role for his client.

Ben Karlin serves as showrunner and executive producer alongside Ahmed, who also contributes as a writer on the six-episode series. Filmmakers Bassam Tariq (Mogul Mowgli) and Tom George (HBO’s The Franchise) split directing duties, each helming three episodes.

All six episodes of Bait will debut Wednesday, March 25, streaming worldwide exclusively on Prime Video.

📺 “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” Trailer: Elle Fanning Plays a Broke New Mom Juggling Bills, Pride, and a Very Unconventional Family in David E. Kelley’s New Dramedy Series — Premiering Wed, April 15th on Apple TV

Everybody’s got a side hustle. Some are just a little more complicated than others. But in the case of Elle Fanning’s new series, that side hustle falls somewhere between basic survival and a few uncomfortable compromises.

Based on Rufi Thorpe’s bestselling novel and created by multi-Emmy winner David E. Kelley, Margo’s Got Money Troubles is not just a funny title but a messy journey of a young woman suddenly thrown into adulthood faster than she ever expected.

Elle Fanning, who is currently enjoying her first Oscar nomination for her supporting turn in Sentimental Value, takes on the role of Margo, whose carefully imagined future is quickly derailed by an unplanned pregnancy. With bills stacking up and opportunities running thin, she’s forced to confront the realities of independence as a new mother who isn’t exactly sure what she’s doing yet.

Family doesn’t necessarily make things easier. Margo is the daughter of an ex-Hooters waitress played by Michelle Pfeiffer and a former professional wrestler played by Nick Offerman, two parents who bring their own chaotic energy into her orbit. But when financial pressure begins to mount like never before, Margo must decide how far she’s willing to bend her ideals just to stay afloat. Eventually, she discovers the surprising sense of liberation and financial stability that comes with online cam modeling.

The problem is, it’s not exactly a profession her parents ever imagined for her, nor one widely accepted by the greater public. But in a world where making ends meet keeps getting harder, becoming a successful cam model can start to feel like a surprisingly practical option for a young mother.

Besides Fanning, Pfeiffer, and Offerman, the series boasts an impressive ensemble of heavy hitters, including Nicole Kidman, Marcia Gay Harden, and Greg Kinnear, along with Michael Angarano, Rico Nasty, and Lindsey Normington.

With David E. Kelley serving as showrunner and writer while also executive producing alongside Elle Fanning and her sister Dakota Fanning, with Kidman and Pfeiffer also on board as executive producers, the series has BAFTA and Emmy winner Dearbhla Walsh (Bad Sisters) directing the pilot episode, with acclaimed TV helmer Kate Herron (Loki, Sex Education) directing additional episodes.

Part heartfelt comedy and part messy coming-of-age story, Margo’s Got Money Troubles follows a young single mother discovering just how far she’s willing to go to support her child... even if it means choosing a path she never imagined for herself.

The series premieres Wednesday, April 15th on Apple TV.

By the time the vows are ready to be spoken, this slow-burn psychological chiller suggests the honeymoon may be the least of their worries.

With Fortune Feimster, Luke Wilson, and Chris Parnell also starring, and created by Ferrell with producers including Rian Johnson and David Gordon Green, this sports comedy follows a comeback fueled by stubborn pride and unfinished business.

📺 “Daredevil: Born Again: Season 2” New Promo: Charlie Cox’s Man Without Fear Faces Mayor Fisk as Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones Returns — Premiering Tues, March 24th on Disney+

The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen isn’t done fighting just yet. In fact, he’s bringing the fight straight to the steps of City Hall, clenched fists ready and a score to settle.

Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again brings Charlie Cox back as Matt Murdock, the sightless lawyer by day and masked vigilante by night. With his long-simmering rivalry with the ever-calculating Wilson Fisk—played with icy menace by Vincent D’Onofrio—now reaching new heights, the stakes have never been higher. Fisk now sits in the mayor’s office, and Murdock finds himself drawn back into a brutal struggle over who truly controls the soul of New York City.

Krysten Ritter also returns as hard-boiled superhero private eye Jessica Jones, making her first appearance since leading her own Marvel series during the now-defunct Netflix era. She steps back into the fray to help Murdock push back against Fisk’s tightening grip across the boroughs. Now firmly folded into the MCU, the rebooted series revisits that shared past—though perhaps not quite in the way fans might expect. Hence the title: Born Again.

Following the explosive events of Season 1’s finale, Murdock has seemingly disappeared, slipping off the grid. Meanwhile, Fisk has fully embraced his new position as New York’s mayor, launching a sweeping crackdown on masked vigilantes and turning the Man Without Fear into the city’s most wanted.

If the first season found Murdock questioning whether justice was better served in a courtroom or on the streets, Season 2 appears ready to push him toward a harsher truth: in a city this corrupt, justice may only come from the very violence he once tried to leave behind.

Also returning are Deborah Ann Woll as Murdock’s loyal friend Karen Page, Wilson Bethel as the lethal assassin Bullseye, Zabryna Guevara as Fisk’s mayoral staff director Sheila Rivera, Ayelet Zurer as the equally ruthless Vanessa Fisk, and Michael Gandolfini as Fisk’s ambitious protégé Daniel Blake. Meanwhile, Matthew Lillard joins this season as a new regular.

Already renewed for a third season and with The Punisher writer Dario Scardapane returning as showrunner, Daredevil: Born Again: Season 2 aims to hit hard when it premieres Tuesday, March 24th on Disney+.

📺 “One Piece: Season 2” Final Trailer: Iñaki Godoy’s Luffy and the Straw Hat Crew Sail Into the Treacherous Grand Line as Baroque Works Emerges as a Dangerous New Enemy — Premiering Tues, March 10th on Netflix

A treasure hunt across the most dangerous seas in the world is about to get even stranger, and this time the Straw Hat crew barrels straight into new enemies, bigger stakes, and a deeper plunge into the bizarre world of the Grand Line.

Back in 2023, One Piece pulled off something that once seemed impossible: a live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s beloved manga that didn’t just survive fan scrutiny; it quickly became one of Netflix’s biggest global hits. Now, with Season 2 ready to set sail next week, the excitement hasn’t slowed in the slightest. And fans aren’t just counting the days, they’re eager to jump back aboard.

Iñaki Godoy returns as the endlessly optimistic Monkey D. Luffy, once again joined by Emily Rudd as the sharp-tongued navigator Nami, Mackenyu as the stoic swordsman Zoro, Jacob Romero Gibson as the ever-hopeful storyteller Usopp, and Taz Skylar as the fast-talking cook Sanji.

Season 2 of this wildly imaginative pirate adventure continues to follow the rubber-limbed dreamer and his ragtag crew as they venture deeper into the Grand Line—the perilous stretch of ocean where pirate legends are made, yet the chance of survival is slim to none. Luffy still has one goal in mind: finding the legendary treasure that could make him King of the Pirates. But the journey grows far more dangerous when a powerful criminal syndicate begins pulling strings from the shadows, unleashing assassins and rival pirates determined to stop the crew before they get any closer to their prize.

The world expands significantly this season with the arrival of the shadowy criminal organization Baroque Works, featuring David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3 and Joe Manganiello as the mysterious Mr. 0, alongside a new lineup of assassins played by Lera Abova, Charithra Chandran, Camrus Johnson, Sophia Anne Caruso, Jazzara Jaslyn, Daniel Lasker, and Yonda Thomas.

Franchise creator Eiichiro Oda remains closely involved as an executive producer, working with showrunners Matt Owens and Steven Maeda to help ensure the spirit of the long-running manga carries over as the series adapts some of its most beloved story arcs.

One Piece: Season 2 premieres Tuesday, March 10th on Netflix.

📺 “Your Friends & Neighbors: Season 2” Trailer: Jon Hamm’s Fallen Financier-Turned-Burglar Gets Pulled Deeper Into the Secrets of the Ultra-Wealthy — Returning April 3rd on Apple TV

Sometimes a midlife crisis doesn’t involve buying fancy clothes and going on lavish vacation trips. Sometimes it involves doing those things after breaking into your neighbors’ mansions and stealing their private loot. ’Cuz with friends like these, who needs enemies? The problem is, if friends become enemies, then trust becomes the most dangerous thing of all.

Apple’s darkly funny suburban crime drama Your Friends & Neighbors returns this April for its second season, once again following Jon Hamm’s disgraced hedge fund manager who discovers that losing everything can open some very dangerous doors. Hamm plays Andrew “Coop” Cooper, a fallen financier who, after watching his privileged world collapse around him, begins quietly breaking into the homes of his ultra-wealthy acquaintances.

What started out as petty theft soon turns into something far more complicated. Each break-in reveals uncomfortable truths about the people living behind those pristine suburban walls, where enormous wealth often hides secrets, scandals, and moral rot. And the deeper Coop digs, the more dangerous the game becomes for him.

Enter James Marsden as Owen Ashe, the wealthy blowhard Coop has set his sights on. The problem? Owen knows exactly what Coop has been up to—and he uses that leverage to force Coop into working for him, digging up secrets that could make things far worse before they get any better.

Season 2 finds Hamm’s Coop walking an even thinner line, trying to maintain the illusion that his extravagant life is still intact while secretly slipping further into a risky double life as a break-in burglar. But now, with someone else pulling the strings, Coop just might be nearing the point of no return.

Created by Jonathan Tropper, of Banshee and Warrior, and co-starring Amanda Peet, Olivia Munn, Hoon Lee, and Lena Hall, Your Friends & Neighbors: Season 2 returns Friday, April 3rd on Apple TV.

📺 “Unchosen” Teaser: A Devoted Wife Begins to Question Her Faith and Marriage in This New Religious Cult Drama Series Starring Molly Windsor, Asa Butterfield & Christopher Eccleston — Coming Soon to Netflix

The promise of living in a religious sect isn’t all that bad, right? Sure, the rules might be strict and the outside world kept at arm’s length, but there’s also the comfort of belonging to something greater, and the belief that everyone around you shares the same purpose and goals; a community based on faith where everyone knows their place. But that’s the promise... the draw. In reality, things are rarely that simple. And in reality, a religious cult isn’t looking to free you... it’s looking to control you.

Unchosen is Netflix’s newest limited series that dives headfirst into the shadowy world of a secluded religious sect where loyalty and obedience rule, and the ones who say they’re guiding you toward salvation may be the very people holding you captive.

Hailing from Julie Gearey, creator of the British sci-fi series Intergalactic, this six-episode psychological thriller follows Rosie, a devoted wife and mother living inside a cloistered Christian community where obedience is expected and questions are quietly discouraged. But everything begins to shift when a mysterious outsider suddenly appears.

Molly Windsor (Three Girls) stars as Rosie, playing opposite Sex Education star Asa Butterfield as her devoted husband, Adam. Their life is built on faith and conformity, but their marriage is anything but stable. While raising their daughter inside a tightly controlled religious community, Rosie and Adam’s world is upended when escaped prisoner Sam (Fra Fee, of Hawkeye and Rebel Moon) suddenly enters their lives. Rosie begins to see the cracks in the world she once trusted. As her marriage falters and Sam offers the promise of escape, the question becomes chillingly clear: is the greater danger the cult she calls home... or the man claiming he can save her?

Written and executive produced by Gearey, with directors Philippa Langdale (A Discovery of Witches) and Jim Loach (Criminal Record) helming episodes, the limited drama also features acclaimed British actor Christopher Eccleston (The Leftovers, Doctor Who) as Mr. Phillips, the religious preacher overseeing the closely controlled community where his word is treated as law and his authority largely goes unquestioned. Happy Valley alum Siobhan Finneran rounds out the cast as Mrs. Phillips.

Unchosen will be arriving later this year exclusively on Netflix.

📺 “The Madison” Trailer: Taylor Sheridan Trades Ranch Wars for Raw Family Grief in This Montana-Set Drama Led by Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell — Debuting Sat, March 14th on Paramount+

Now Taylor Sheridan has built a reputation for creating successful shows and movies about the rugged nature of broken families who usually speak through violent action rather than actual conversation. He has dabbled in neo-Westerns, crime thrillers, military dramas, and frontier-era melodramas, crafting stories where loyalty is currency, land is legacy, and silence says more than any monologue ever could.

Well, Sheridan seems to be flipping the script a bit this time, showing off a different shade of his storytelling instincts in his latest Paramount original series. Gone are the ruthless landgrabbers and vengeful ranchers settling scores with bullets and blood oaths. What remains, however, is a broken family grappling with grief and heartache, hoping the transcendent power of nature might offer some measure of solace. And dare we say, this might be something more intimate and emotional than anything we’ve seen from Sheridan before. But don’t worry, it’s still dealing with a family on the brink... and in Sheridan’s world, that usually means the wounds run deep, the grudges continue, and love is rarely expressed without a little damage attached.

Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell lead The Madison, Sheridan’s latest neo-Western drama that trades Manhattan’s skyline for Montana’s open sky. They play Stacy and Preston Clyburn, grieving parents who uproot their fractured family from New York City to the Madison River valley, hoping distance and quiet might soften the blow of a recent loss. But as anyone who has spent time in a Sheridan universe knows, wide landscapes don’t erase emotional wreckage... they amplify it.

Patrick J. Adams and Elle Chapman play the next generation trying to steady their own marriage in the wake of tragedy, while Matthew Fox steps in as Preston’s brother, adding another layer of tension to a family already stretched thin. The series leans into Sheridan’s familiar terrain, but this time the conflict is driven less by territorial warfare and more by grief, pride, and the uncomfortable struggle of rebuilding trust when everything stable has been shaken.

If Yellowstone was about legacy and power, this feels more like a portrait of a family trying to remember who they are against the picturesque Montana landscape where beauty and pain exist side by side.

Also starring Beau Garrett, Ben Schnetzer, Amiah Miller, Kevin Zegers, and Rebecca Spence, with Will Arnett as the family therapist Dr. Phil Yorn, The Madison is set to premiere Saturday, March 14th exclusively on Paramount+.

📺 “The Comeback: Season 3” Trailer: Lisa Kudrow’s Valerie Cherish Returns for One Last Attempt at Fame in the Third and Final Season — Premiering Sun, March 22nd on HBO Max

When Lisa Kudrow debuted the first season of The Comeback back in 2005, following her long stint on the wildly popular sitcom Friends, it didn’t quite live up to expectations at the time; despite ultimately becoming a cult hit beloved by a growing group of fiercely loyal fans who recognized its painfully sharp satire. But over the years, Kudrow’s character Valerie Cherish — a washed-up sitcom star desperately clawing her way back into the spotlight — has come to be recognized as one of the early pioneers of the burgeoning cringe-comedy era, where humiliation wasn’t just the punchline but the entire engine driving the joke.

Season 2 of the revival was finally given the greenlight in 2014, nearly a decade after the original season aired, proving that sometimes the real comeback takes a little longer than anyone expects. At the time, many fans assumed that was the end of the road, as creators Kudrow and Michael Patrick King (Sex and the City, 2 Broke Girls) made it clear they weren’t planning to produce any additional episodes, suggesting Valerie’s long, awkward climb back into relevance had finally reached its last, beautifully uncomfortable curtain call.

Well, never say never when it comes to Valerie Cherish. Because in Hollywood, to make a comeback is to risk everything all over again: your dignity, your delusions, and whatever shred of self-awareness you’ve managed to hang on to. Thankfully, Valerie has no self-awareness... nor the instinct to protect what little dignity she has left.

In this third and final season, Kudrow’s tragically optimistic sitcom actress is back at it again, finding new ways to chase the dream, even if it means walking straight into the kind of humiliation most people would sprint to avoid. Still remaining one of television’s sharpest self-portraits of the entertainment industry, framed through a faux-documentary lens, season one skewered network sitcom culture; season two dismantled prestige television; and now, with this final chapter, the satire sharpens its aim at an industry even more obsessed with image, reinvention, and relevance than ever before. And Valerie remains the perfect foil to show just how ridiculous Hollywood can be.

Co-starring Damian Young, Andrew Scott, Dan Bucatinsky, John Early, Abbi Jacobson, Tim Bagley, and Brittany O’Grady, the third and final season of The Comeback is set to premiere Sunday, March 22nd on HBO Max.

📺 “Sunny Nights” Trailer: Will Forte and D’Arcy Carden’s Spray Tan Dream Spirals Into Sydney’s Criminal Underworld in This New Aussie Comedy Series With Rachel House, Jessica De Gouw & Miritana Hughes — Streaming Wed, March 11th on Hulu and Disney+

Former Saturday Night Live star Will Forte and The Good Place breakout D’Arcy Carden finally get to collide their perfectly awkward comedic timing as they head Down Under to headline a new Australian comedy series about how big dreams can quickly morph into even bigger headaches; especially when a pair of overly confident Americans find themselves completely outmatched by cunning locals ready to take full advantage of their wide-eyed optimism.

In Sunny Nights, Forte and Carden star as American siblings Martin and Vicki Marvin, who relocate to Sydney with dreams of building a booming spray tan empire. Instead, their bronzed ambitions take a sharp detour when Martin is suddenly blackmailed by a pair of local operators (Jessica De Gouw and Miritana Hughes) tied to a criminal syndicate overseen by a ruthlessly controlled crime boss played by New Zealand powerhouse Rachel House (of Hunt for the Wilderpeople and Thor: Ragnarok). What starts as a slightly delusional small-business hustle quickly spirals into a desperate balancing act between keeping customers glowing and keeping themselves out of prison.

Created by Nick Keetch and Ty Freer, this Aussie crime comedy continues to prove that Australians have a wicked sense of humor; one sharp enough to lure a couple of top American funny talents straight into the sun-soaked madness and let them roast for a bit.

Sunny Nights is set to stream Thursday, March 11th on Hulu and Disney+.

📺 “Pride and Prejudice” Teaser: Emma Corrin Stars as Elizabeth Bennet Opposite Jack Lowden’s Mr. Darcy in Netflix’s New Six-Part Limited Series — Coming Soon

The Crown’s Emma Corrin steps into literary royalty as Elizabeth Bennet, perhaps one of fiction’s most enduring heroines. Opposite her, Slow Horses star Jack Lowden plays the reserved and quietly proud Mr. Darcy. With writer Dolly Alderton (Everything I Know About Love) and director Euros Lyn (Heartstopper) at the helm, this six-part period drama revisits Jane Austen’s social battlefield with an emphasis on intimacy and emotional clarity. Rather than reinventing the story, the series will lean into the novel’s sharp observations about class, courtship, and the quiet force of personal conviction. Corrin’s fiercely independent Elizabeth unsettles Lowden’s guarded Darcy, while Rufus Sewell and Olivia Colman ground the Bennet household as Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. The adaptation aims to underscore how pride and misunderstanding quietly steer destiny, even within the rigid social order of Regency-era England.

📺 “Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole” Trailer: A Serial Killer Terrorizes Oslo as Tobias Santelmann and Joel Kinnaman Clash in This Dark Scandinavian Crime Thriller Series — Debuting Thurs, March 26th on Netflix

When it comes to dark detective thrillers, the Scandinavians might have cornered that specific subgenre market, and best-selling crime author Jo Nesbø (Headhunters, The Snowman) is one of the talents leading the charge. The Norwegian novelist is overseeing the first television series based on his bestselling novels, centered on brilliant but unraveling homicide detective Harry Hole. When a serial killer begins carving a path through Oslo, the only man capable of stopping him may be the one most likely to self-destruct. German-born Norwegian actor Tobias Santelmann (Kon-Tiki, The Last Kingdom) steps into the role of one of crime fiction’s most tormented detectives. Harry is pulled into a case that feels less like an investigation and more like psychological warfare. As the body count rises, suspicion shifts inward toward his corrupt colleague, Detective Tom Waaler, played by Swedish actor Joel Kinnaman (Suicide Squad, For All Mankind). What begins as a hunt for a monster slowly tightens into a duel between two men who know each other’s weaknesses all too well... and all too dangerously.

📺 “For All Mankind: Season 5” Trailer: Joel Kinnaman Returns as Mars Becomes a Battleground for Power and Independence in Apple’s Acclaimed Sci-Fi Series — Premiering Fri, March 27th on Apple TV+

Mars is no longer an outpost. It’s a colony with something to lose. Years after the Goldilocks asteroid heist, Happy Valley has evolved into a thriving settlement of thousands, serving as humanity’s launchpad deeper into the solar system. But as Earth’s governments move to impose law and authority on the Red Planet, resistance brews among residents who now consider Mars their true home. Joel Kinnaman leads the returning ensemble, caught between loyalty and survival as political pressure escalates toward open confrontation. Created by Ronald D. Moore, who serves as executive producer alongside showrunners Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi, this sweeping space saga began as a bold reinvention of American history: an alternate vision where the Soviet Union won the space race, forcing the U.S. to accelerate its cosmic ambitions. Now it has evolved into full-fledged science fiction, where the future of humanity may hinge on who gets to define freedom on a new world... and who’s willing to fight for it.

📺 “Marshals” Final Trailer: Luke Grimes’ Kayce Dutton Trades Ranch Wars for Federal Justice in This CBS Yellowstone Spinoff — Premiering This Sunday, March 1st on CBS and Streaming on Paramount+

📺 “House of the Dragon: Season 3” Teaser: Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, and Ewan Mitchell Return as Westeros Edges Toward Total Annihilation — Debuting This June on HBO

With A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms coming to a close this weekend with the final episode of its inaugural season, HBO wants to remind Game of Thrones fans they’ll only have to wait a few more months before getting another dose of their Westeros fix. Sadly, House of the Dragon: Season 3 will mark the penultimate chapter of this current GoT saga, as the Targaryen civil war rages in full force. But Westeros was never built for peace. It was built for conquest. And if a Targaryen is sitting on the throne, then it’s only a matter of time before everything goes up in flames.

Following the events of last season, House of the Dragon picks up with the realm splintering like never before, and the Dance of the Dragons edging closer to total annihilation. With the kingdom now in open war and the Iron Throne under the control of Aemond Targaryen (played with icy menace by Ewan Mitchell), power has shifted decisively to the Greens. After striking down his own brother, Aemond doesn’t just claim authority... he tightens his grip on it.

Meanwhile, Alicent (Olivia Cooke) seems to recognize the monster her son has become, quietly aligning herself with embattled queen Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy), who is now locked in a desperate bid to reclaim the Red Keep and restore some fragile sense of order to a realm tearing itself apart. As everyone prepares, and in some cases actively pushes for war, Rhaenyra still clings to the fragile hope that the realm can be unified without burning it to the ground. Little does she know, Westeros has never rewarded mercy; only strength, and the willingness to use it. In order for her to be a true queen, she must learn these traits... and she’ll have to learn them fast.

With showrunner Ryan Condal signaling that the fourth season (set for 2028!) will be the last, this penultimate chapter feels like the point of no return. The long-promised Battle of the Gullet (one of the bloodiest sea conflicts in George R. R. Martin’s Fire & Blood) finally appears ready to roar to life this season. So expect plenty of fire, saltwater, and dragonflame lighting up the Narrow Sea.

So if the early seasons were about positioning, this one is about execution. And the Throne has never felt closer... yet somehow further away.

Also returning are Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen, Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower, Steve Toussaint as Corlys Velaryon, and Sonoya Mizuno as Mysaria, among others. Season 3 arrives this June on HBO and Max. Just in time to make this summer a little more combustible.

📺 “Imperfect Women” Trailer: Elisabeth Moss, Kerry Washington, and Kate Mara Star as Lifelong Friends Torn Apart by Murder in This New Psychological Mystery-Thriller Series — Premiering Wed, March 18th on Apple TV

Three friends. One body. A murder investigation that proves some friendships were never built to survive the truth.

Based on Araminta Hall’s best-selling novel, Imperfect Women is a new psychological mystery-thriller series starring two-time Emmy winner Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale), Emmy nominee Kerry Washington (Scandal), and Emmy nominee Kate Mara (House of Cards) as three longtime friends whose bond is shattered when one of them is found dead and the other two are implicated in the crime.

Also starring Joel Kinnaman and Corey Stoll as two of the women’s significant others, the limited series peels back decades of shared history, exposing the quiet compromises, buried resentments, and unspoken betrayals that have been sitting just beneath the surface. As the murder investigation begins connecting dots, each woman is forced to confront how much of her loyalty was built on lies rather than truth.

Created by Annie Weisman, who previously spearheaded the Rose Byrne–starring ’80s-set fitness series Physical, this new Apple original has assembled an impressive ensemble for a mystery told in fractured flashbacks, as each woman at the center recounts her version of events. When long-buried secrets are quietly revealed, they must confront how well they ever truly knew one another... and whether their loyalty was just a carefully curated illusion waiting to crack.

Imperfect Women is slated to debut Wednesday, March 18th on Apple TV.

📺 “The Hunt” Trailer: Benoît Magimel Stars as a Hunter Who Becomes the Hunted in Cédric Anger’s French Thriller Miniseries with Mélanie Laurent — Arriving Wed, March 4th on Apple TV

There was a time when French cinema was considered long, existential character dramas set against smoky cafés and filled with sunglasses- and turtleneck-wearing beatnik philosophers dissecting love, politics, and the meaning of existence between sips of coffee and quick drags from their cigarettes. Fast forward to now, and French entertainment isn’t all that dissimilar from American thrillers. Case in point: The Hunt.

This new French-language miniseries features renowned French star Benoît Magimel (The Piano Teacher) as Franck, a man who heads into the woods with longtime friends for a hunting trip, only to stumble into a violent confrontation with a rival group that leaves one man shot dead. What should have ended with a police report and Franck coming clean that he acted in self-defense instead spirals into something far more reckless: the men make a pact to never speak of the incident again. It turns out to be the worst decision they ever made, as the fallout follows them home.

As Franck and his wife Krystel (played by Inglourious Basterds star Mélanie Laurent) begin to sense that someone is watching them… or tracking their every move, the paranoia no longer feels imagined. It feels very real as Franck and his friends start finding clues left on their doorsteps, indicating they are actually being hunted. It’s payback for what Franck did in those woods. And this time, he won’t be able to hide from the consequences, as he soon learns that guilt has a way of hunting the hunter.

Written, directed, and created by acclaimed French filmmaker Cédric Anger (Next Time I’ll Aim for the Heart, The Killer), the six-episode thriller looks less like a straight survival story and more like a study in escalating dread, as the line between predator and prey grows thinner by the day from the moment that fatal shot rang out in the woods. Because the moment you try to hide the truth, it starts tracking you instead.

The Hunt is scheduled to premiere Wednesday, March 4th on Apple TV.

📺 “The Faithful: Women of the Bible” Trailer: Minnie Driver & Alexa Davalos Navigate Faith and Destiny in This Three-Part Easter Event — Premiering Sun, March 22nd on FOX and FOX One, Streaming Next Day on Hulu

As generational tensions mount and sacrifices demand everything, the choices these women make will reshape the future of their families and the very foundation of faith itself. This three-week television event builds toward a question that still echoes today: what does it cost to trust in something larger than yourself when nothing is guaranteed?

In a town built on illusion and sin, the only way to serve justice is to treat the law like performance art.

📺 “Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen” Teaser Trailer: A Couple’s Wedding Week Descends into Pure Terror in This Duffer Brothers–Produced Horror Series Starring Camila Morrone & Adam DiMarco — Premiering Thurs, March 26th on Netflix

Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today. To get through this thing called… death?

Well, they do commonly say “til death do us part” when a couple decides to finally tie the knot. But the bride and groom likely never once imagined death would come calling on their wedding day.

Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen is an aptly titled new atmospheric horror series from the executive producers of Stranger Things, directed in part by Emmy nominee Weronika Tofilska of Baby Reindeer fame. Set over the course of one very cursed week, the show follows bride Rachel (Camila Morrone, of Daisy Jones & the Six and The Night Manager: Season 2) and groom Nicky (Adam DiMarco, from The White Lotus: Season 2) in the lead-up to their ill-fated nuptials.

As Rachel and Nicky prepare to say their “I dos,” with family flying in to celebrate their public union, something ominous gathers just out of view. What begins as pre-nuptial jitters slowly mutates into mounting paranoia and suffocating dread. Tensions escalate. Glances linger a beat too long. And the celebration starts to feel less like a wedding and more like a curse... perhaps because it is. Well, ain’t love grand.

Created by Haley Z. Boston, best known for writing on Netflix’s Brand New Cherry Flavor and Amazon’s Hunters, as well as co-writing the standalone episode “The Outside” from Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, the series has been described as a cross between Carrie and Rosemary’s Baby. And that comparison alone should tell you this isn’t about jump scares but slow-burn psychological menace.

The supporting cast is stacked, including Jennifer Jason Leigh, Ted Levine, Gus Birney, Jeff Wilbusch, Karla Crome, Sawyer Fraser, and Zlatko Burić all round out the wedding party from hell.

Behind the scenes, Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer (aka the Duffer Brothers of Stranger Things fame) serve as executive producers alongside Hilary Leavitt and Andrea Sperling (Transparent, A Murder at the End of the World). Tofilska directs four episodes and also executive produces, while Axelle Carolyn (The Haunting of Bly Manor) and Lisa Brühlmann (Killing Eve, Servant) each helm additional installments.

So consider yourself cordially invited to a wedding where the only thing guaranteed is that someone won’t be making it to the honeymoon. Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen debuts Thursday, March 26th on Netflix.

📺 “Scrubs Revival” Trailer: Zach Braff and Donald Faison Scrub Back In as Attendings in This Long-Awaited Medical Comedy Revival — Premiering Wed, February 25th on ABC and on Hulu

Would you believe it’s been nearly fifteen years since we last saw Scrubs alums Zach Braff and Donald Faison get all chummy-chummy as the inseparable duo of J.D. and Turk? Well, time flies in TV land, especially when it seems that Braff and Faison have never really left each other’s side since the show wrapped. But after a series of popular T-Mobile commercials, podcast shows, fan-related appearances, and reunion rumors that seem to resurface every other year, it’s finally happening. The boys are scrubbing back in. And just like that, it’s like time never passed at all. It’s like we’re about to wander those Sacred Heart hallways again, half-expecting a cutaway fantasy and a perfectly timed high-five waiting around the corner.

The beloved medical satire returns with a half-hour comedy revival that reunites Braff as John “J.D.” Dorian and Faison as Christopher Turk, alongside Sarah Chalke as Elliot Reid. Only this time, they’re not the interns nervously chasing approval. They’re the attendings. The ones signing off on charts. The ones giving orders. Which, frankly, feels earned... and just a little dangerous for whatever poor med students land under their supervision.

But if a fresh-faced trainee needs to learn the ropes around Sacred Heart Hospital, we can’t think of a better trio than J.D., Turk, and Elliot. Scratch that! We can probably think of more responsible trios. Just not ones that would make us laugh this hard while accidentally teaching a life lesson between high-fives, chest bumps, and wildly inappropriate shenanigans.

Among those also returning are fan favorites John C. McGinley and Judy Reyes back as Dr. Perry Cox and head nurse Carla Espinosa, respectively, ensuring that tough love and razor-sharp sarcasm remain hospital policy. New cast additions include Vanessa Bayer and Joel Kim Booster, joined by a roster of fresh-faced talents as the new class of medical interns.

Series creator Bill Lawrence, the comedic mind behind the hit comedies Ted Lasso and Shrinking, returns as executive producer alongside Jeff Ingold, Liza Katzer, Aseem Batra (who also serves as showrunner), and Randall Winston. Braff steps behind the camera to direct the pilot, because apparently acting, narrating, and mentoring aren’t enough.

Sure, technology has changed. Medicine has evolved. Interns definitely have different vibes now. But what hasn’t? The J.D.–Turk bromance in full, unapologetic swing.

Scrubs premieres Wednesday, February 25th on ABC and streams on Hulu.

📺 “One Piece: Season 2” Trailer: Iñaki Godoy’s Luffy Chases Pirate Glory as Baroque Works Raises the Stakes in This Hit Adventure Series — Debuting Tues, March 10th on Netflix

Lightning struck once. Now Netflix is betting it can strike twice.

Back in 2023, One Piece did the unthinkable. A live-action adaptation of One Piece didn’t just survive fan scrutiny... it thrived. Eight weeks in Netflix’s Global Top 10. Number one in over 75 countries. Nearly 100 million views. It even made history as the first English-language Netflix series to debut at #1 in Japan. Not bad for a rubber-limbed pirate with a straw hat and a dream.

Season 2 sails straight into deeper waters. And now, with even more eyeballs locked in, this isn’t just a surprise hit anymore. It’s one of Netflix’s crown jewels. In a strange twist of pop-culture fate, it might even be single-handedly keeping the pirate genre afloat.

But let’s be clear: this is not your typical pirate adventure. This isn’t brooding swagger in the mold of Captain Jack Sparrow, nor is it the swashbuckling fairy-tale romance of Dread Pirate Roberts. This is something far quirkier. Far warmer. Far more earnest.

It’s a band of wide-eyed misfits chasing glory, bounty, and a mythical treasure across the Grand Line. But more than that, it’s about the bond they’ve formed. And in an era where most franchise storytelling leans darker, grittier, and more self-serious, there’s something refreshing about a series that wears its heart so openly on its sleeve.

Season 2 finds Luffy and the Straw Hats officially entering the Grand Line; that treacherous stretch of sea where pirate legends are forged and survival is never guaranteed. The mission remains the same: find the mythical treasure and crown Luffy King of the Pirates. But the road ahead? Messier. Deadlier. And much weirder.

Iñaki Godoy returns as the endlessly optimistic Monkey D. Luffy, alongside Emily Rudd’s sharp-witted Nami, Mackenyu’s steel-eyed Zoro, Jacob Romero Gibson’s earnest Usopp, and Taz Skylar’s smooth-talking Sanji.

And the world expands in a big way. Baroque Works enters the game with David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3, Joe Manganiello as the shadowy Mr. 0, and a lineup of assassins played by Lera Abova, Charithra Chandran, Camrus Johnson, Sophia Anne Caruso, Jazzara Jaslyn, Daniel Lasker, and Yonda Thomas. Translation: the stakes just leveled up.

Manga and franchise creator Eiichiro Oda remains closely involved as executive producer, working with Matt Owens and Steven Maeda to keep the spirit intact as the series adapts fan-favorite story arcs ripped straight from the comic pages.

One Piece: Season 2 premieres Tuesday, March 10th on Netflix.

📺 “RJ Decker” First Look Preview: Scott Speedman Stars as a Washed-up Ex-Con Turned Private Eye in This Sun-Soaked Florida Crime Series — Premiering Tues, March 3rd on ABC and on Hulu

There’s something about private eye stories that feels timeless. Perhaps it’s because they’re almost always depicted as washed-up figures who skirt the law but cling to a stubborn moral code. And no matter how many times they’re thrown to the ground, they never stay there. They get up, dust themselves off, and choose to do the right thing anyway... even when the world has given them every reason not to. That’s the hook. That’s the appeal. That’s why these types of shows always feel right, no matter the time period or setting.

So with that being said, welcome to the world of RJ Decker, a new ABC detective series set in South Florida, where the sun-soaked beaches become the picture-perfect backdrop for a modern-day hard-boiled gumshoe tale, where the humidity hangs thick in the air and the secrets run even thicker.

Written and executive produced by Rob Doherty (creator of Elementary) and inspired by Carl Hiaasen’s novel Double Whammy, Scott Speedman, of Grey’s Anatomy and Felicity fame, takes on the title role as a disgraced newspaper photographer turned ex-con trying to rebuild his life as a private investigator. It’s not exactly a clean slate. More like a slightly smudged one.

Have yourself a special first look preview for this upcoming offbeat, pulpy crime romp where Decker’s cases range from quirky to flat-out bizarre... because this is Florida, after all. And in Florida, the line between headline and punchline is razor thin.

Joining Speedman in the cast are Jaina Lee Ortiz as Emilia “Emi” Ochoa, Bevin Bru as Detective Melody “Mel” Abreu, Kevin Rankin as Aloysius “Wish” Aiken, and Adelaide Clemens as Catherine Delacroix.

Filmmaker Paul McGuigan (Lucky Number Slevin, Gangster No. 1) directs and executive produces, while Doherty serves as showrunner, executive producing alongside author Carl Hiaasen, Carl Beverly, Sarah Timberman, and Speedman himself.

Catch the premiere Tuesday, March 3rd on ABC, or stream it the next day on Hulu.

📺 “Rooster” Trailer: Steve Carell Plays a Famous Novelist Mistaken for a Much Cooler Version of Himself in HBO’s Campus-Set Comedy Series with Charly Clive & Phil Dunster — Premiering Sunday, March 8th on HBO/HBO MAX

At this point in his career, Steve Carell can play social discomfort in his sleep after years of playing characters who are mostly well intentioned but perpetually one wrong social cue away from disaster. The thing that has always set Carell apart from comedians known for pure buffoonery is his ability to layer genuine vulnerability beneath the discomfort. His characters aren’t just insecure; they’re quietly trying to be better, which gives the jokes a slightly bruised, human edge rather than treating them as the punchline.

Carell returns to TV with a brand-new HBO series that not only lets him play to his strengths but also nudges him into more introspective territory, as a loving father who wants to do right by his daughter, only for his own personal needs to take precedence.

In Rooster, a new dramedy series hailing from co-showrunners Bill Lawrence (Shrinking, Ted Lasso, Scrubs) and Matt Tarses (Scrubs), Carell stars as a popular novelist best known for his pulpy crime series about a laid-back private eye named Rooster; a character far smoother, cooler, and more confident than the man who created him. His real life is messier, however. His relationship with his daughter, played by British actress Charly Clive, is strained and complicated, especially as she navigates her own personal implosion as a college professor at an Ivy League school after her husband (Phil Dunster) leaves her for a much younger grad student. Naturally, Carell’s character wants to help. Whether he should is another question entirely.

When the university dean (John C. McGinley) offers him a mentorship role, Carell jumps at the chance, seeing it as a way to be closer to his daughter. But once on campus, something unexpected happens. Students begin confusing him with his fictional alter ego, and for the first time in a long while, he likes who they think he is. What starts as a well-meaning attempt to play dad quickly spirals into a self-discovery journey, as Carell’s character embraces the intoxicating idea of becoming one of the cool guys on campus, a role he’s not entirely sure how to let go of.

Featuring a strong supporting cast that includes Danielle Deadwyler and Lauren Tsai, along with guest turns from Annie Mumolo, Scott MacArthur, Robby Hoffman, and Connie Britton, Rooster is slated to debut Sunday, March 8th on HBO and HBO Max.

📺 “Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette” Trailer: America’s Most Watched and Tragic Romance Revisited in Ryan Murphy’s New Limited Series Starring Sarah Pidgeon & Paul Kelly — Premiering Thursday, February 12th on FX & FX on Hulu

The Kennedy family might be the closest thing Americans ever had to royalty. The public obsession with them has mirrored the same type of fascination the Brits have with their royals. Similarly, the Kennedy dynasty rose from immense wealth into political power and cultural influence, while also enduring immense tragedy felt throughout the nation.

It wasn’t that long ago that the American people were infatuated with the life of John F. Kennedy Jr.; someone who, from the day he was born to the day he tragically died, was always in the public eye, living under a microscope. And his romance with Calvin Klein publicist Carolyn Bessette was quickly, and perhaps unfairly, transformed into a modern media fairy tale; one built less on who they actually were and more on what the public desperately wanted them to represent.

It will be almost 27 years since John and Carolyn’s deaths, who tragically perished in a plane crash in 1999, leaving a nation stunned and reigniting talk of a so-called family curse. But leave it up to mega–executive producer Ryan Murphy to revisit this love story through a modern perspective, especially as the political and celebrity landscape has dramatically shifted since the days of John and Carolyn.

FX’s Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette turns the clock back three decades to the culture, the headlines, and the memories of a romance that captured America’s full attention. Launching as the first installment of Ryan Murphy’s new Love Story anthology and created by Connor Hines, the limited series traces the chemistry, whirlwind courtship, and high-profile marriage of a couple whose private bond was relentlessly lived out in public under intense media scrutiny.

Sarah Pidgeon, best known for starring in the hit Broadway rock musical Stereophonic and the horror sequel I Know What You Did Last Summer, stars as Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, who climbed from sales assistant to Calvin Klein executive, becoming a trusted confidante of the designer himself while dating one of America’s most famous bachelors.

Relative newcomer Paul Kelly takes on the task of portraying John F. Kennedy Jr., the well-to-do heir of the family dynasty who was primed to become a defining public figure of his generation—set up from birth for a life straddling politics, philanthropy, and celebrity.

Naomi Watts co-stars as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, with Grace Gummer as Caroline Kennedy. The supporting cast includes Alessandro Nivola as Calvin Klein, Leila George as Kelly Klein, and Noah Fearnley as Michael Bergin.

Inspired by Elizabeth Beller’s book Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, the miniseries doesn’t just chronicle a romance; it examines the cost of being watched too closely for too long, revealing how fame can quietly corrode even the most intimate moments of a couple’s life.

Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette premieres Thursday, February 12th on FX and FX on Hulu.

📺 “Young Sherlock” New Trailer: Guy Ritchie Takes Sherlock Holmes Back to Oxford for a High-Stakes Origin Story in Amazon’s New Action-Mystery Series Starring Hero Fiennes Tiffin — Premiering Wed, March 4th on Prime Video

Sherlock Holmes is one of a few timeless characters that even the name alone evokes a sense of certainty in the type of story audiences are stepping into. So, a new show about the early years of Sherlock Holmes, one could reasonably assume, will come with a great mystery for him to solve. That part is a given. But this is also a project coming from filmmaker Guy Ritchie, who has already tackled the character before in a pair of Hollywood blockbusters, where he retooled Holmes into a bruising action hero whose physicality was just as formidable as his intellect. So, one could also assume this new show won’t just be about clues and deductions, but will lean into a youthful swagger, as this version of Sherlock is still figuring himself out. His instincts are still very much being sharpened and shaped through trial and missteps. But from the look of things, his confidence and self-assurance are already there.

Young Sherlock is a new Amazon original series in which Guy Ritchie returns to Baker Street, diving once more into the world of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s perennial detective creation, Sherlock Holmes. This time, Sherlock is a sharp, cocky 19-year-old Oxford student about to tackle his first major mystery; one involving a school break-in, a hidden bomb, and a growing list of suspicious suspects who may be far more dangerous than they initially appear.

Hero Fiennes Tiffin, the nephew of actors Ralph and Joseph Fiennes, is tapped to lead the series as the one and only Sherlock Holmes. But it’s a Holmes we don’t normally get to see. He’s still unpolished and very much in the process of becoming a formidable detective with a razor-sharp mind for deduction. His background, however, is a bit rougher around the edges, shaped by a past that includes pickpocketing and light larceny before ultimately landing him at Oxford.

Despite being known for not working well with others, this young Sherlock finds himself teaming up with a fellow Oxford classmate, James Moriarty (played by Dónal Finn). He is, of course, the man who will eventually become Sherlock’s greatest foe, but at this stage he’s an ally, operating more as a kindred spirit than a sworn enemy. The two volunteer to investigate the school break-in, which ultimately leads to a whole lot of trouble, uncovering a conspiracy far bigger and more dangerous than either of them initially expects; one that ends with Sherlock finding himself framed for murder.

Others in the cast include Zine Tseng (3 Body Problem) as a young Chinese princess and skilled martial artist who becomes central to the mysterious break-in, while Natascha McElhone (Californication) plays Cordelia Holmes, Sherlock’s mother. Max Irons (Condor) steps into the role of Mycroft, Sherlock’s older brother. A mustachioed Colin Firth appears as Sir Bucephalus Hodge, and in a perfectly on-theme bit of casting symmetry, Joseph Fiennes guest stars as Sherlock’s father; making it a true family affair.

Executed by showrunner Matthew Parkhill alongside Guy Ritchie, who also directs the majority of the eight-episode season, Young Sherlock is slated to premiere Wednesday, March 4th on Prime Video.

And boy, have things gone sideways. Russell’s battle-worn Monarch operative and his younger counterpart are pulled deeper into the consequences of choices made decades ago, where protecting the truth may be just as dangerous as revealing it. With a new Titan rising to the surface (one bigger than anything we’ve seen yet), our only hope may be that Godzilla and King Kong can come to the rescue. Some problems require the biggest possible solution, and in this case that solution comes with scales, claws, and a whole lot of collateral damage.

Have you seen that popular meme of Jon Hamm dancing in a club as he slowly loses himself to the music? Well, that moment comes from this Apple original show, which returns this April for its second season. This darkly funny suburban crime drama from Jonathan Tropper stars Mad Men’s Jon Hamm as a disgraced hedge fund manager spiraling into a midlife crisis as he turns to a life of crime, breaking into the homes of his former ultra-wealthy friends. What begins as petty theft quickly becomes something far riskier, as every break-in pulls him deeper into a world where privilege protects monsters and mistakes carry real consequences.

From comedy screenwriter Katie Dippold (The Heat) and Emmy-winning director-producer Hiro Murai (Barry, The Bear), and co-starring Stephen Root and Dale Dickey, the show gleefully pits civic optimism against creeping dread. Because sometimes the best vacation advice is simple… don’t go.

📺 “The Miniature Wife” Teaser: Elizabeth Banks & Matthew Macfadyen’s Marriage Hits a Very Small, but Dangerous, Breaking Point in This New Darkly Comic Series — Debuting Thurs, April 9th on Peacock

Power struggles tend to get messy... especially when one spouse suddenly has the upper hand in ways no one planned. This darkly comic Peacock series features Elizabeth Banks and Succession’s Matthew Macfadyen as a married couple whose simmering marital tensions explode after a technological accident changes the balance of power in the most literal way imaginable. When a brilliant scientist (Macfadyen) accidentally shrinks his wife (Banks) to miniature size, she’s forced to survive inside a dollhouse while he races to reverse the experiment without killing her. As the stakes grow more dangerous, buried resentments, control issues, and emotional blind spots come sharply into focus. What begins as a scientific crisis quickly becomes a psychological one, exposing how fragile equality can be behind closed doors. Created by Jennifer Ames and Steve Turner and based on the short story by Manuel Gonzales, this offbeat dramedy just reminds us how quickly love between two people can shrink in more ways than one.

📺 “Stranger Things: Tales From ’85” Trailer: The Hawkins Kids Face a Frosty New Nightmare in This Animated Spin-off Set Between Seasons 2 and 3 — Premiering Thurs, April 23rd on Netflix

Zach Braff and Donald Faison return as J.D. and Turk, with Sarah Chalke back as Elliot, now upgraded from anxious interns to fully credentialed attending doctors tasked with training a wildly confident, painfully unprepared new generation. Old rhythms collide with new hospital realities as familiar faces like John C. McGinley’s Dr. Cox and Judy Reyes’ Nurse Carla navigate authority, aging egos, and the uncomfortable truth that they’ve officially become the adults in the room. Because scrubs may come and go, but some bromances (and bad hospital decisions) are here to stay... at least until the next shift change.

📺 “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” New Trailer: Tracy Morgan’s Disgraced NFL Star Stages a Very Public Comeback in NBC’s New Mockumentary Comedy Series with Daniel Radcliffe — Airing Monday, February 23rd on NBC, Streaming Next Day on Peacock

From the team behind 30 Rock, this NBC comedy stars Tracy Morgan as Reggie Dinkins, a disgraced former NFL star trying to rehab his image after a gambling scandal by documenting every step of his so-called redemption. Daniel Radcliffe co-stars as the well-meaning, increasingly horrified documentarian tasked with capturing Reggie’s slow crawl back toward relevance, bad decisions and all. Built around Morgan’s chaotic energy and a mockumentary format that thrives on secondhand embarrassment, the series takes aim at ego, denial, and the fantasy of a clean comeback. Because if you’re going to spiral, you might as well do it in front of a full camera crew.

📺 “American Classic” Trailer: Kevin Kline’s Fallen Broadway Star Comes Home to Family Drama in New Comedy Series with Laura Linney & Jon Tenney — Premiering Sun, March 1st on MGM+

This brilliant yet self-sabotaging showman reignites old romances, long-simmering grudges, and unfinished business inside a family-run theater bursting with history and unresolved feelings.

Harold Perrineau’s weary de facto mayor of the Township is pushed to his limits while new arrivals and half-truths threaten to snap the fragile order holding everyone together.

📺 “Paradise: Season 2” Trailer: Sterling K. Brown Steps Outside the Bunker as the Truth Behind the Apocalypse Comes Crashing Down in the New Season with Shailene Woodley, Thomas Doherty & Julianne Nicholson — Premiering Monday, February 23rd on Hulu/Disney+

When the Hulu original series Paradise detonated its big twist last season, it didn’t just pull the rug out from under viewers... it yanked the entire foundation away. What began as a buttoned-up political thriller about a murdered U.S. president suddenly revealed itself as something far stranger, darker, and more ambitious: a post-apocalyptic sci-fi shocker with clues hiding in plain sight. And for a show that came from the team behind This Is Us, the collective “oh shit” reaction was half the fun.

Season 2 wastes no time leaning into that revelation. Picking up immediately after the explosive finale, the new chapter follows Special Agent Xavier Collins (again played by Emmy-winner Sterling K. Brown, who earned an Emmy nomination for this role) as he ventures beyond the safety of the Paradise underground bunker for the first time. His mission is personal: track down his presumed-dead wife, Teri, after learning she may have survived “The Day.” Out there, beyond the walls, Xavier begins to see how the rest of the world endured the three years since everything fell apart.

Meanwhile, back inside Paradise, the illusion of order starts to crack. Xavier’s failed insurrection has shaken public trust, and the city’s carefully curated social structure begins to fray. Long-buried secrets about Paradise’s origins start bubbling up, especially those tied to the program’s enigmatic founder, Samantha “Sinatra” Redmond. Julianne Nicholson returns to the role, and if Season 1 positioned her as quietly omnipotent, Season 2 looks ready to test just how fragile that power really is.

Much of the core cast is back, including Sarah Shahi, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Krys Marshall, Aliyah Mastin, and Charlie Evans. And yes, James Marsden will still be along for the ride as President Cal Bradford via flashbacks and time jumps. Because Paradise never met a fractured timeline it didn’t like.

Jon Beavers also returns as Xavier’s loyal partner, Agent Billy Pace, poised to dig deeper into his murky past with the Paradise program, presumably through flashbacks, considering the character met his shocking end last season.

New additions this season include Shailene Woodley and Thomas Doherty as two resilient outsiders who survived the doomsday event without the help of living inside the bunker. Once dismissed as a myth or urban legend, their suspicions are confirmed when Xavier verifies Paradise’s existence, sending them down a dangerous path as they try to uncover what Paradise really is, and whether it can be taken over from the outside. But something tells us Sinatra has other plans to seize full control once more.

Series creator Dan Fogelman has described the show as a planned three-season arc, with Season 2 acting as the “middle movie” of the trilogy. So expect a wider scope this new season, but also a few unanswered questions — because it wouldn’t be Paradise without a lingering mystery yet to be unraveled.

Paradise: Season 2 premieres with its first three episodes Monday, February 23rd on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+, with new episodes dropping weekly.

📺 “DTF St. Louis” Trailer: Jason Bateman and David Harbour Get Tangled in a Deadly Midlife Love Triangle in Steven Conrad’s Darkly Comic HBO Limited Series with Linda Cardellini — Premiering Sun, March 1st on HBO

The town that seems the most ordinary is usually the one hiding the strangest and kinkiest crimes. St. Louis, for example, is a city that sells itself on tradition, familiarity, and Midwestern charm. It’s also a place where midlife malaise can quietly transform into something darker, where boredom and unspoken desire start hunting for an outlet to explore their most destructive impulses. And sometimes, all it takes is a click and a swipe to indulge those forbidden temptations.

Ozark’s Jason Bateman and Stranger Things’ David Harbour find themselves in such circumstances in this new HBO limited series DTF St. Louis, where hidden kinks don’t just complicate things... they can lead to someone being murdered, or worse, committing murder.

Created by Steven Conrad, the writer behind the cult Amazon spy series Patriot and the screenwriter of darkly comic middle-age-crisis dramedies The Weather Man and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, the series features Bateman as Clark Forrest, a familiar local face as a St. Louis weatherman. His close friendship with co-worker Floyd, a sign language interpreter (Harbour), suddenly becomes something to investigate when Floyd turns up dead under mysterious circumstances.

When the case lands in the hands of special crimes officer Jodie Plumb (Joy Sunday), alongside weary but sharp-eyed Detective Donoghue Homer (Richard Jenkins), an eye-raising mystery slowly begins to take shape. As they peel back layers of Midwestern desire and deception, the two detectives discover that Clark himself had introduced Floyd to a local St. Louis dating app designed specifically for married people seeking discreet hookups. With further probing, it becomes clear that Clark and Floyd’s wife, Carol (played by Linda Cardellini), may have started their own secret affair on the side. Suddenly, the question isn’t just whether Floyd’s death was murder, but whether it was the inevitable fallout of a love triangle gone disastrously wrong.

Co-starring Peter Sarsgaard, the HBO limited series leans into Conrad’s signature tone: darkly funny, awkwardly revealing of midlife crises, and deeply interested in the lies people tell themselves to get through the day.

DTF St. Louis is set to debut Sunday, March 1st on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. Watch it! Perhaps with your apps turned off.

📺 “Outlander: Season 8” Trailer: Caitríona Balfe and Sam Heughan Face the End of the Road as Time Finally Catches Up in the Final Season of the Beloved Time-Travel Romance Series — Premiering Friday, March 6th on STARZ

The thing about time travel is that when there’s no more road left, time finally catches up. And what once felt like eternity doesn’t last nearly as long as you thought. Claire and Jamie Fraser find themselves at the end of a long, winding road where their love still remains, but their future no longer stretches on forever in the eighth and final season of the widely popular STARZ series Outlander.

Since its debut in 2014, the series from executive producer Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica, For All Mankind) has grown into a full-blown phenomenon, earning a fiercely loyal fanbase drawn to its sweeping romance and historical scope. Its stars, Irish actress Caitríona Balfe and Scottish actor Sam Heughan, have gone from relative unknowns to global fan favorites, becoming the face of a love story that has endured wars, centuries, and the cruel passage of time itself.

But even a story built on time travel has to end somehow. Even the longest journeys eventually find their final resting place. And for Outlander, that moment has finally arrived.

Balfe and Heughan are back for their final season as Claire and Jamie Fraser, returning for one last, emotionally loaded chapter of their time-bending love story. After surviving history itself, the Frasers now face a far more personal last stand: defending their home from the chaos of war and confronting the looming possibility of Jamie’s death, a fate that time may no longer be willing to bend around.

Season 7 closed with Jamie resigning his Continental Army commission and returning home to Fraser’s Ridge with Claire, hoping to leave the American Revolution behind. But as Season 8 makes painfully clear, war has a habit of following the Frasers wherever they go. The Ridge, now a thriving settlement becomes ground zero for buried family secrets and choices that can’t be undone. This final stretch shifts the fight inward, as Jamie and Claire take a stand to protect what they’ve built—and each other—perhaps demanding the greatest sacrifice of all.

Returning alongside Balfe and Heughan are Sophie Skelton, Richard Rankin, John Bell, David Berry, Charles Vandervaart, Izzy Meikle-Small, Lauren Lyle, and César Domboy, rounding out a cast that has grown with the series over nearly a decade.

After years of crossing centuries and rewriting fate, Outlander reaches its endgame with plenty of heart. So expect tears. Expect closure. And expect a long-earned farewell—not only to the show, but also, quite possibly, to your STARZ subscription, which may have been hanging on just for this.

Based on Diana Gabaldon’s best-selling novel series, Outlander: Season 8, the final season, is set to premiere Friday, March 6th on STARZ.

📺 “Neighbors” Trailer: Real-Life Neighbor Disputes Turn Into a Late-Night Powder Keg in This A24-Produced Docuseries — Premiering Fri, February 13th on HBO & HBO MAX

There’s a unique type of discomfort and anger that settles in the moment you realize you’re living next door to someone you’d rather not. This new docuseries taps into that slow-boiling resentment, capturing what happens when neighbors stop seeing eye to eye and start seeing red.

From A24 and the producers of Marty Supreme comes Neighbors, a new late-night docuseries that turns everyday residential beefs into must-watch television. This isn’t scripted drama or reenactment fluff. It’s raw, often absurd, and occasionally jaw-dropping—cinéma vérité at its finest. Each episode drops viewers into the middle of an active dispute, capturing the tension, the personalities, and the wildly unhinged logic driving both sides of the fence as neighbors go from civil coexistence to outright hatred.

Across its six-episode season, the series introduces a rotating cast of larger-than-life characters from all corners of the country. Property lines become battlefields. Pets become pawns. Personal grudges metastasize into full-blown wars of attrition. And yes, at least one conflict somehow involves a yellow Speedo. No detail is too small when pride, territory, and ego are on the line.

The project comes from emerging directors Harrison Fishman and Dylan Redford, who spent over two years traveling across the U.S., embedding themselves directly into these neighbors’ lives. The result is a darkly funny yet honest portrait that feels uncomfortably intimate at times, hilarious in others, and often revealing in ways participants probably didn’t anticipate. It’s messy. It’s confrontational. And it quietly says a lot about the modern American obsession with ownership, identity, and being absolutely convinced you’re in the right.

The six-episode season premieres Friday, February 13th, with new episodes rolling out weekly on HBO and HBO Max. So lock your doors. Draw your boundaries. And maybe think twice before starting a feud with the people next door. Because you never know, they just might be lunatics.

📺 “The Audacity” Teaser: Billy Magnussen Chases Power Inside Silicon Valley in This New Darkly Comic Tech Industry Series with Sarah Goldberg, Zach Galifianakis & Simon Helberg — Premiering Sun, April 12th on AMC/AMC+

Power loves a good story, especially when it gets to call itself progress. Set inside Silicon Valley’s sealed ecosystem of billionaire egos, wellness jargon, and moral shortcuts, this darkly comic drama follows a data-mining CEO building an empire on insight, influence, and the belief that everything — including people — can be optimized. Billy Magnussen plays said CEO, convinced he’s shaping the future, while Sarah Goldberg’s psychiatrist and Zach Galifianakis’ uneasy power broker orbit a system designed to justify itself. Created by Emmy winner Jonathan Glatzer (Succession, Better Call Saul), the series peers past innovation and into the ego-fueled delusions sustaining it, where privacy is negotiable and ethics remain endlessly flexible.

📺 “Marshals” Trailer: Luke Grimes’ Kayce Dutton Steps Out of Yellowstone’s Shadow as a U.S. Marshal Protecting Montana in New CBS Spinoff Series — Premiering Sunday, March 1st on CBS and Paramount+

If Kayce thought defending the family ranch from ruthless opportunists was hard, protecting the entire state of Montana as a U.S. Marshal is about to raise the stakes in a very big way for him and his family.

Yellowstone star Luke Grimes returns once again as Kayce Dutton, the surviving son of the late, powerful rancher and cattle baron John Dutton, this time for his own spin-off series, shifting the action from ranch politics to federal law enforcement. Kayce, arguably the one Dutton who always understood the cost of violence and the weight of responsibility, now finds himself operating on a much larger battlefield—where the lines between right and wrong may be more clearly defined, but can still blur in an instant.

With enemies deadlier than ever and consequences that extend far beyond the borders of the family ranch, Kayce becomes the latest recruit to join an elite team of U.S. Marshals tasked with taking down some of the most dangerous criminals operating in Montana. From gun smuggling to drug trafficking, Kayce’s military-honed instincts and hard-earned moral code are put to the test as he learns that protecting a state can be just as personal as protecting a family.

“Well, the Yellowstone is gone. Same for most of my family,” Kayce states in this new full-length trailer for the upcoming CBS series, suggesting that perhaps he’s a lone wolf now—and that even his beloved wife, Monica Long Dutton, may have met the same fate as the Yellowstone family ranch. “As for vengeance... the day is still young.”

Originally titled Y: Marshals, now dropping the “Y” altogether and going with just Marshals, this marks the first broadcast-network spinoff of Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone universe, which has typically lived on the streaming platform Paramount+. But with a network behind it, this could mean a broader reach, a more procedural rhythm, and a version of Sheridan’s neo-Western world designed to pull in both longtime fans and a more traditional CBS audience looking for weekly, case-driven stakes.

Also starring Arielle Kebbel, Tatanka Means, Logan Marshall-Green, and Ash Santos as fellow Marshals agents—along with Gil Birmingham and Mo Brings Plenty reprising their Yellowstone roles as Chief Thomas Rainwater and his right-hand man, Mo—the Dutton saga isn’t done just yet, as Kayce takes the reins of the next stage of his life. This time, the fight isn’t about land or legacy... it’s about law, order, and whether a Dutton can finally put those hard-earned skills to good use.

Executive produced by Sheridan, David C. Glasser, and Spencer Hudnut, Marshals is set to debut Sunday, March 1st, airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.

📺 “Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord” Teaser Trailer: Darth Maul Returns to Reclaim His Power in Dave Filoni’s Dark New Animated Series — Premieres Mon, April 6th on Disney+

Whatever your feelings about the Star Wars prequel trilogy, we can all agree that Darth Maul was a breakout villain character from those films. With his bright red facial markings, forehead horns, and that instantly iconic double-bladed lightsaber, the character practically screamed untapped potential. From the jump, Maul felt less like a one-and-done heavy and more like a walking tease for a much larger, darker mythology waiting to be explored.
Well, better late than never, right?

Because it seems newly appointed Lucasfilm president and chief creative officer Dave Filoni has finally answered that long-simmering “what if” by creating a brand-new animated series focused entirely on Darth Maul, nearly 27 years after the character first stalked onto screens in The Phantom Menace.

Taking place in the murky aftermath of galactic collapse following Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008–2020), when the Republic has fallen and the Empire has risen, Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord features the voice of actor Sam Witwer, a Star Wars video game regular who has acted, voiced, and provided motion capture for numerous LucasArts video game titles, as he takes on the task of embodying the iconic Sith.

With the Sith wiped out and his former masters long gone, Maul finds himself unchained, but far from free. Now operating in the margins of Emperor Palpatine’s reign, the former Sith lord begins rebuilding his criminal syndicate from the ground up, pulling strings in the underworld while training a new apprentice. It’s less about conquest and more about carving out relevance in a galaxy that’s moved on without him. It’s also the first animated series told through Maul’s perspective, expanding his story and reframing him not just as a weapon of the Sith, but as a fallen power broker trying to redefine his position in a rapidly changing galaxy.

Joining Witwer in the voice cast are Gideon Adlon, Richard Ayoade, and recent Oscar nominee Wagner Moura, while Filoni serves as creator and co-showrunner/executive producer alongside Matt Michnovetz.

Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord will launch with a two-episode premiere set to debut Monday, April 6th, exclusively on Disney+.

📺 “Invincible: Season 4” Trailer: Mark Grayson Faces His Darkest Test Yet as Amazon’s Hit Superhero Animated Series Returns — Premiering Wed, March 18th on Prime Video

It’s funny that the guy who created the horror series The Walking Dead, which reinvented how we viewed the zombie apocalypse, would later turn around and do the same thing for superheroes. Award-winning comic book writer Robert Kirkman first proved he could translate his horror comic saga into a cultural TV juggernaut with The Walking Dead, then pulled off another home run by turning his long-running superhero Image comic Invincible into a wildly successful animated series for Amazon.

Season 3 of Invincible became Prime Video’s most-watched animation season of all time, continuing the show’s streak of critical acclaim since its debut and earning a flawless 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. And while many fans are still recovering from the emotional carnage of previous seasons, Season 4 is already gearing up with plenty of buzz and the promise of even bigger, more devastating stakes. With the premiere date set for March, fans are now getting an official look at what’s next, as superhero Mark Grayson—aka Invincible, voiced by Steven Yeun—finds himself at his most vulnerable yet, with the world still rebuilding and the weight of his responsibilities growing heavier than ever.

For the uninitiated, Kirkman’s Invincible epic centers on teenage hero Mark Grayson, the son of the world’s most powerful superhero, Omni-Man (voiced by J. K. Simmons), and his grounded, real-estate-agent mother, Debbie (voiced by Sandra Oh). Raised to one day take his father’s side and become one of the world’s greatest protectors, Mark gets the surprise of his life when he learns his father is not the heroic savior he claimed to be, but something far more dangerous and morally devastating. Soon, Mark finds himself taking on the superhero mantle, forced to define what being a hero really means in a world that no longer offers simple answers. Without a father to rely on—or even trust anymore—Mark is left to forge his own path, learning the hard way that doing the right thing often comes at a brutal cost.

The animated series, executive produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, follows in the vein of Watchmen and The Boys, setting out to deconstruct the superhero myth with dark humor and an unapologetically ultra-violent edge, placing its story in a world where superheroes are as deeply flawed and morally compromised as the people they’re meant to protect.

While showing no signs of pulling its punches, Season 4 sees Mark grappling with the immense pressure of protecting the world, setting him on a collision course with a threat powerful enough to reshape humanity’s future—one that tests not only his strength, but his willingness to work with his father once more.

Like previous seasons, expect a voice cast stacked with star power, including Seth Rogen, Walton Goggins, Gillian Jacobs, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Matthew Rhys, Lee Pace, Mark Hamill, and many more.

Invincible: Season 4 is slated to premiere Wednesday, March 18th, exclusively on Prime Video.

📺 “The Night Agent: Season 3” Trailer: Gabriel Basso’s FBI Agent Peter Sutherland Runs Out of People to Trust in New Season of Hit Spy Series — Premiering Thurs, February 19th on Netflix

Trust is a luxury The Night Agent has never really afforded agent Peter Sutherland. And in Season 3, that deficit officially hits crisis levels.

Gabriel Basso returns as the sleepless, perpetually outmatched FBI agent who keeps finding himself at the center of conspiracies no one else seems willing—or able—to touch. Coming off the fallout of Season 2, Peter is pulled back into the deep end when he’s tasked with tracking down a young Treasury agent who’s fled to Istanbul after killing his boss and vanishing with sensitive government intel.

But in the world of The Night Agent, things aren’t necessarily what they seem, and Peter has a funny knack for finding himself right in the middle of lies stacked on top of lies. Never quite sure who’s telling the truth or who’s playing him and steering him into a trap, Peter must once again rely on the instincts that have kept him alive so far. The only problem is, those same instincts usually end up putting a target squarely on his back.

Created by Shawn Ryan (The Shield), the Netflix hit once again leans into its bread-and-butter government conspiracy. This time, however, the trail leads to a dark-money network with global reach, hired assassins on the payroll, and a shadowy power broker determined to keep the truth buried. As Peter navigates this maze of spies, secrets, and double-crosses, he finds himself reluctantly teaming up with a relentless journalist (played by Genesis Rodriguez) who may be his best shot at exposing the elusive Broker—and stopping a looming terrorist attack. That is, if he can survive long enough to see the mission through.

Also starring Amanda Warren, Stephen Moyer, Jennifer Morrison, David Lyons, Fola Evans-Akingbola, Louis Herthum, and more, The Night Agent: Season 3 is coming Thursday, February 19th, exclusively on Netflix.

Set years after the Goldilocks asteroid heist, the story finds the Happy Valley base transformed into a bustling Martian colony—one no longer content to answer to Earth.

📺 “Ted: Season 2” Trailer: Seth MacFarlane’s Foul-Mouthed Teddy Bear Turns John’s High School Senior Year Into Total Chaos — Premieres Thurs, March 5th on Peacock

Time to break out those distinctly Massachusetts accents, because everyone’s lovable foul-mouthed teddy bear is back for another round of childish mayhem.

It’s halfway through senior year, yet a teenage John Bennett is still no closer to acting his age or finding a girl to go out with him. As for his perpetually immature best friend, Ted — who also happens to be a walking, talking toy teddy bear, once again voiced by Family Guy mastermind Seth MacFarlane — adulthood might as well be a myth, something meant for other people in other zip codes, preferably nowhere near suburban Boston. But if senior year is supposed to be about growing up, getting serious, and figuring out your future, John still has a long way to go before he’s ready to let go of his childhood crutch — especially when that crutch swears, drinks, and actively sabotages every attempt at adulthood.

Season 2 of Ted, Peacock’s prequel series to Seth MacFarlane’s 2012 hit comedy and its sequel that starred Mark Wahlberg as the older John Bennett, once again follows a teenage John (Max Burkholder) and his working-class suburban family as they try to survive the ’90s with Ted, the anthropomorphic foul-mouthed plush bear who magically came to life from a wish.

This new season follows John as he prepares himself for college, trying to turn the final months of high school into something resembling a real experience before it’s too late. Ted, of course, is the ultimate chaos agent. So as John barrels through senior year with the intent of finding a girlfriend and finally shedding his dork status, you can safely assume nothing goes according to plan. Because growing up might be inevitable, but with Ted in the picture, it’s guaranteed to be loud, messy, and painfully awkward.

Scott Grimes and Alanna Ubach are also back as John’s long-suffering parents, while Giorgia Whigham is once again playing John’s sarcastic college-aged cousin, Blaire.

Ted: Season 2 is scheduled to premiere Thursday, March 5th on Peacock.

📺 “Vanished” Trailer: Kaley Cuoco’s Romantic Getaway Turns Into a Nightmare When Her Boyfriend Suddenly Disappears in This New Mystery-Thriller Miniseries with Sam Claflin — Premieres Sun, February 1st on MGM+

Kaley Cuoco’s newest series asks a deceptively simple question: how well do you really know your romantic partner, especially if they suddenly vanish without a trace? And who can you truly trust if everyone around you seems determined to believe it’s no big deal?

In the new limited mystery thriller Vanished, The Big Bang Theory and The Flight Attendant star plays Alice, an American woman who’s just fallen hard for the charming Tom (Sam Claflin, of Hunger Games and Amazon’s Daisy Jones & The Six). After spending several blissful months together, the pair set off on a romantic European getaway, beginning in Paris. But while aboard a train heading south to Marseille, Alice wakes up from a nap to discover Tom has mysteriously vanished from his seat. Worse yet... there’s no sign of him anywhere on the train. He’s simply gone. No goodbye. No explanation.

Now left stranded in a foreign country with more questions than answers, Alice grows suspicious that the man she thought she knew may have been hiding things from her. As she digs deeper, the mystery unfurls into a web of lies and dangerous secrets, all set against postcard-perfect European backdrops that feel increasingly claustrophobic by the minute. After getting in contact with local detectives and private investigators, Alice finds herself leading her own quest into Tom’s whereabouts. But the further she pushes, the more it becomes clear that the truth might not be something she’s ready for... or safe to uncover.

📺 “The Lincoln Lawyer: Season 4” Trailer: Mickey Haller Fights for His Freedom as the System Turns Against Him in Netflix’s Hit Legal Drama starring Manuel Garcia-Rulfo — Premieres Thurs, February 5th on Netflix

As a lawyer working from his Lincoln car, well, there’s no one better in L.A. you’d want to have in your corner. But now, as a defendant fighting to clear his name, he’s forced to navigate the justice system from the one place he never thought he’d be: behind bars.

Netflix’s hit legal drama The Lincoln Lawyer returns for Season 4, backing attorney extraordinaire Mickey Haller (a returning Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) into a corner where the only way out is to fight a judicial system stacked against him.

Following the shocking events of Season 3, where the dead body of a former client turns up in the trunk of Mickey’s beloved Lincoln, the smooth-talking L.A. defense attorney has now become the target of both the DA’s office and the FBI. Facing some serious time if found guilty, Mickey is forced to defend himself from the most unforgiving seat in the courtroom: the defendant’s chair. With his team and close friends working diligently to clear his name, Mickey has undergone some agonizing trials before, but this one might just be the hardest case of his career. Only this time, if Mickey loses, he’s the one facing hard time.

Based on Michael Connelly’s bestselling book series and executive produced by iconic TV honcho David E. Kelley, with Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez serving as co-showrunners, The Lincoln Lawyer: Season 4 also features returning cast members Neve Campbell, Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, and Angus Sampson, with Emmy nominee Constance Zimmer (House of Cards) joining this season as the hotshot, hardnosed DA sent in to put Mickey away for good.

The Lincoln Lawyer: Season 4 premieres Thursday, February 5th on Netflix.

📺 “Dark Winds: Season 4” Trailer: Zahn McClarnon Hunts for a Missing Navajo Girl as the AMC Noir Thriller Becomes a Race to Catch a Killer — Premieres Sunday, February 15th on AMC and AMC+

No one said all gritty detective noir stories have to be set in big urban cities. Sometimes, the sunbaked backdrop of the American Southwest desert—with its endless highways and blinding daylight—can feel just as isolating, corrupting, and morally unforgiving as any rain-soaked alleyway.

Case in point: Dark Winds, AMC’s critically lauded Navajo detective thriller starring Zahn McClarnon as veteran tribal police lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, whose investigative methods are shaped as much by his cultural knowledge and traditions as they are by the hard realities of working cases where justice is rarely clean or easily solved.

Based on Tony Hillerman’s iconic Leaphorn & Chee detective novels, the series has the good fortune of being executive produced by two legends in the industry: Game of Thrones creator-author George R.R. Martin and the late Hollywood icon Robert Redford, both of whom have been instrumental in shepherding the project since its launch back in 2022. The series has been a critical darling since season one, earning a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score across all three seasons and steadily building a devoted cult following.

The show should also be noted as part of the recent wave of Indigenous-led storytelling, helping to reclaim and reframe the history of the American Southwest through Native perspectives that have long been sidelined. It also further highlights just how tremendous and talented Zahn McClarnon is as both an actor and the show’s commanding lead. For season four, out next month, McClarnon will also make his directorial debut, helming one of the new episodes.

Season four raises the stakes immediately with the search for a missing Navajo girl, pulling Lt. Leaphorn (McClarnon), FBI agent-turned–tribal deputy Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon), and tribal police sergeant–turned–border patrol officer Bernadette Manuelito (Jessica Matten) far beyond the familiar terrain of Navajo Nation. This time, the trail leads to the gritty sprawl of 1970s Los Angeles, where the case becomes a race against the clock—and against an obsessive killer with dangerous ties to organized crime.

Created by Graham Roland (Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan), with John Wirth (Hell on Wheels) serving as showrunner, Dark Winds: Season 4 is set to premiere Sunday, February 15th on AMC and AMC+.

📺 “The Madison” Teaser: First Look at Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell in Taylor Sheridan’s Montana-Set Family Drama — Premiering Sat, March 14th Exclusively on Paramount+

Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell star as grieving parents who leave New York City behind for Montana’s Madison River valley, hoping distance and open space might help heal a shattered family. From Taylor Sheridan (the creative force behind the hit franchise Yellowstone), this character-driven frontier drama finds its tension not in gunfire, but in what lingers when loss follows you everywhere. Featuring a stacked ensemble that includes Patrick J. Adams, Matthew Fox, and Beau Garrett, the series leans into Sheridan’s familiar Western landscapes while using Montana’s quiet vastness to explore resilience, grief, and the slow, uneven work of finding your way back to each other.

📺 “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” Trailer: Tracy Morgan Chases a Questionable Comeback as a Fallen NFL Legend in a Mockumentary Comedy Series with Daniel Radcliffe — A Special Premiere After Football Sun, January 18th on NBC/Peacock

From the team behind 30 Rock, NBC’s new comedy series plays like a comeback tour nobody asked for... and that’s exactly the point. Tracy Morgan stars as Reggie Dinkins, a disgraced former NFL star attempting to rehab his image after a gambling scandal, only to document every misstep by agreeing to be followed by a camera crew whether he succeeds or flames out. Daniel Radcliffe co-stars as the well-meaning (and increasingly horrified) documentarian capturing Reggie’s slow crawl back toward relevance, turning each ill-advised decision into public record. Built around Morgan’s chaotic energy and a mockumentary structure that thrives on secondhand embarrassment, the series leans into the comedy of ego, denial, and the lie of the redemption arc. Debuting with a special Sunday night premiere January 18th after Sunday Night Football on NBC, the show will return on Mondays, starting February 23rd.

📺 “Wonder Man” New Spot: Yahya Abdul-Mateen II & Ben Kingsley Skewer Superheroes and Studio Politics in Marvel’s Meta Hollywood Satire Miniseries — Premieres Tues, January 27th on Disney+

Marvel pokes fun at itself with this sly, self-aware MCU satire that’s less about saving the world and more about surviving the system that keeps rebooting it. Starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as a struggling actor suddenly cast as the face of a shiny new superhero franchise—while hiding one massive secret: he actually has real superpowers, a hard no-no in Hollywood. In an industry built on IP, the real villains are studio notes, hard-to-please executives, brand synergy, and impossible expectations. Ben Kingsley returns as Trevor Slattery, the MCU’s most spectacularly unserious performer, somehow failing upward once again inside Hollywood’s machine, proving that failure is often just another path to the spotlight.

📺 “The Beauty” New Promos: Evan Peters and Rebecca Hall Chase a Deadly Perfection Drug in Ryan Murphy’s Fashion-World Thriller Series with Ashton Kutcher, Anthony Ramos & Bella Hadid — Premieres Wed, January 21st on FX on Hulu/Disney+

Set inside the ruthless glamour of international fashion, Ryan Murphy’s latest series opens with a wave of gruesome supermodel deaths that drag two FBI agents (Evan Peters and Rebecca Hall) into a pharmaceutical conspiracy that’s equal parts couture fantasy and body-horror nightmare. The trail leads to a miracle virus promising instant physical perfection—a seductive shortcut that turns beauty into currency and time into a death sentence. With Ashton Kutcher as a tech mogul monetizing human bodies and Anthony Ramos as his lethal fixer, this is a darkly satirical horror where beauty isn’t just skin-deep... it’s fatal.

📺 “Amadeus” U.S. Teaser: Will Sharpe and Paul Bettany Reignite a Deadly Rivalry of Genius and Envy in This Modern Reimagining of the Classical Drama — Coming Soon to STARZ

This five-episode British miniseries reimagines Amadeus as a full-blown rock-star saga of ego, faith, and obsession, with Will Sharpe embodying Mozart as volatile, brilliant, and impossible to ignore, and Paul Bettany delivering a wounded, simmering Antonio Salieri undone by the sound of a talent he can never touch. As Mozart storms into Vienna hungry for relevance and freedom, Salieri’s admiration mutates into a decades-long psychological war over music, reputation, and self-destruction. Written by Joe Barton and directed by Julian Farino (the duo behind Giri/Haji), this sets out to prove that envy isn’t just corrosive... it’s operatic!

📺 “How to Get to Heaven from Belfast” Trailer: Roísín Gallagher, Sinéad Keenan & Caoilfhionn Dunne Star in This Darkly Comic Mystery of Friendship and Secrets from ‘Derry Girls’ Creator Lisa McGee — Premieres Thurs, February 12th on Netflix

Roísín Gallagher, Sinéad Keenan, and Caoilfhionn Dunne star as three lifelong friends whose carefully managed adult lives crack open when news of an estranged friend’s suspicious death drags them back into unfinished business. What begins at a wake quickly turns into a chaotic, darkly funny odyssey across Ireland, fueled by buried memories, bad decisions, and the kind of small-town gossip that only makes things worse.

📺 “Finding Her Edge” New Trailer: A Gifted Ice Skater (Madelyn Keys) Returns to the Rink in Netflix’s New Romantic Skating Drama Series with Cale Ambrozic, Olly Atkins, Alexandra Beaton & Alice Malakhov — Premieres Thurs, January 22nd on Netflix

This soapy YA sports drama understands how hard it is to move forward when your heart is still circling the past. The series follows Adriana Russo (Madelyn Keys), a gifted ice dancer chasing a shot at the World Championships with a new partner (Cale Ambrozic), just as unresolved feelings—both romantic and competitive—about her former partner (Olly Atkins) start complicating everything. When a fake off-ice romance becomes the only way to secure sponsorship and keep her family’s struggling rink afloat, the line between performance and real emotion blurs fast. And in the high-stakes world of elite figure skating, romance and rivalry go hand in hand.

Season two doubles down on what made the revival click: catchy music, surreal humor, and a genuine respect for kids.

📺 “The ’Burbs” Trailer: Keke Palmer Leads a Meddlesome Neighborhood Down a Very Dark Rabbit Hole in Peacock’s Twisted Comedy with Jack Whitehall, Justin Kirk & Paula Pell — Premieres Sun, February 8th on Peacock

Now you thought your neighbors were a little weird? Just wait until you get a load of the people living in Ashfield Place… aka the ’Burbs.

Keke Palmer stars in Peacock’s new dark comedy series as a newly married woman who’s just moved into her husband’s parents’ house, settling into a perfectly nice, perfectly boring suburban neighborhood where nothing ever happens. That is… if you don’t count the strange neighbor down the block who lives in a house rumored to be the site of a grisly murder. Allegedly, of course.

But when even more rumors start swirling among the residents, Palmer’s character can’t help but get involved, leading a circle of meddlesome neighbors who are less a neighborhood watch and more a suburban true-crime book club with way too much free time on their hands. The further they poke, the more layers of the mystery unravel like an onion. And before they know it, the whole neighborhood might not be as quiet, harmless, or normal as it first appeared.

Sure, everyone has a few skeletons in their closet. But in this neighborhood, those skeletons aren’t necessarily metaphorical. The truth might be closer than anyone wants to admit, just waiting for someone nosy enough to start digging.

Palmer is joined by a roster of comedians playing her overly inquisitive neighbors, each of whom might be hiding secrets of their own, including TV vet Julia Duffy (Newhart), SNL writer and comic Paula Pell, What We Do in the Shadows breakout Mark Proksch, and Kapil Talwalkar. Meanwhile, British comedian Jack Whitehall costars as Keke’s devoted husband, who, too, might not be telling the whole truth about the life they’ve just moved into.

Justin Kirk (of Weeds) takes on the role of the creepy neighbor who everyone seems eager to accuse of being at the center of whatever dark secrets Ashfield Place is hiding. But something tells us that he might be only a small piece of a much bigger, messier puzzle lurking beneath this picture-perfect block. Rounding out the cast are Haley Joel Osment and RJ Cyler as Keke’s brother.

Emmy-nominated director Nzingha Stewart (Daisy Jones & the Six) helms the pilot episode of the new comedy series, which is executive produced by Celeste Hughey and Rachel Shukert, alongside Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane and mega-producer Brian Grazer, with Palmer also onboard as a producer.

Scheduled to premiere Sunday, February 8th on the streaming platform Peacock, The ’Burbs is a remake of Joe Dante’s cult 1989 dark comedy of the same name, which starred a young Tom Hanks as a nosy neighbor who gets more than he bargained for after spying on the suspicious house down the street. This version, however, feels less like a straight remake and more like a modern remix—one that swaps ’80s-era paranoia for full-blown true-crime obsession.

📺 “Cross: Season 2” Trailer: Aldis Hodge Faces a Deadly Game of Cat and Mouse as Alex Cross Hunts a Ruthless New Killer, Also Starring Matthew Lillard, Alona Tal & Jeanine Mason — Premieres Wed, February 11th on Prime Video

Aldis Hodge is back for round two as genius crime-solving detective Alex Cross, whose skills are once again put to the test as his latest investigation grows darker, deadlier, and far more complex than originally anticipated. Because when Cross is on a case, nothing is ever as straightforward as it first appears—there’s always a missing piece that has to be exposed before he can put it to rest.

In Season 2 of Amazon’s hit detective thriller, Scream’s Matthew Lillard joins the cast as a billionaire mogul and philanthropist who suddenly finds himself in the crosshairs of a mysterious assassin, seemingly driven by revenge. When a chilling message arrives in the form of a box containing severed fingers, the FBI calls in Detective Cross to decipher the identity of the assailant and uncover their motives.

Soon, the manhunt becomes a woman hunt as Cross is able to pin a face (Jeanine Mason) to the threat—opening the door to a far more personal and dangerous pursuit. The question now: can Cross stop her in time before she finishes her mission?

Also starring Alona Tal as FBI Agent Kayla Craig and Isaiah Mustafa as Cross’ partner and longtime best friend John Sampson, the series—created by executive producer and showrunner Ben Watkins—is based on the best-selling detective novels by James Patterson, which notably spawned a series of films starring Morgan Freeman in the role.

Cross returns with Season 2 next month, streaming exclusively on Prime Video beginning Wednesday, February 11th, with the first three episodes followed by weekly installments.

📺 “Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials” Trailer: Mia McKenna-Bruce Chases a Clock-Ticking Murder Conspiracy in This New Three-Part Whodunit with Helena Bonham Carter & Martin Freeman — Premieres Thurs, January 15th on Netflix

We are officially living in an Agatha Christie renaissance, where old-school whodunits are being dusted off for a new generation that loves clever mysteries, stacked ensembles, and the slow thrill of watching secrets unravel one clue at a time. Perhaps it’s the true-crime effect, but audiences can’t seem to get enough of this type of murder mystery—one that takes someone brave enough to start asking the uncomfortable questions no one else wants to answer.

Well, get ready to meet Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent. She’s an inquisitive young woman who doesn’t take no for an answer, asks way too many questions, and once she sniffs out a lead, becomes absolutely relentless—charging ahead like a bloodhound on a scent, refusing to let go.

In Netflix’s new three-episode miniseries Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials, rising English actress Mia McKenna-Bruce (How to Have Sex, Peacock’s Vampire Academy) takes on the lead role as Lady Eileen, a young aristocratic socialite who, after attending a lavish masquerade party, wakes the next morning to discover that the boy (Corey Mylchreest) she’s grown fond of has mysteriously died in his sleep. Believing foul play is involved, she sets out to get to the bottom of his untimely death.

But after stumbling upon a strange clue—a set of seven clocks arranged on the mantelpiece beside the dead man’s bed—Lady Eileen is led on a wild and dangerous trail that pulls her deep into a web of secrets, suspects, and deadly intrigue. And in a mystery where every second counts, she’s determined to make sure the truth doesn’t run out of time.

Also starring Helena Bonham Carter, Martin Freeman, and Nabhaan Rizwan, Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials is based on the novel The Seven Dials Mystery. Written by Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall and directed by music video–turned–British TV helmer Chris Sweeney (Back to Life, Apples Never Fall), the three-parter is set to premiere Thursday, January 15th, exclusively on Netflix.

📺 “The Beauty” Trailer: Ashton Kutcher Plays a Tech Tycoon Selling Perfection at a Deadly Price in Ryan Murphy’s New Glossy Body-Horror Series with Evan Peters, Rebecca Hall, Anthony Ramos & Bella Hadid — Premieres Wed, January 21st on FX on Hulu/Disney+

Ashton Kutcher is the new face of the cosmetic industry, yet embodies everything wrong with society. He’s a tech billionaire who thinks he’s God, wields more power than small nations, and wants to commodify the way we feel and look to its most frightening extreme. Don’t worry—it’s just another Ryan Murphy show. It’s not like that kind of thing could ever happen in the real world… right?

Kutcher is given a deliciously devilish role to chew on in the new Ryan Murphy–produced FX genre-bending horror series The Beauty. He plays Byron Forst, a corporate tycoon who stumbles upon a wonder drug that makes people stunningly beautiful in an instant, only to unleash terrifying aftereffects once it’s administered. Kutcher’s character is a raving asshole who doesn’t care about the consequences, only about the fame and power this sexually transmitted “treatment” brings him.

Set in an overly stylish world not too dissimilar to Coralie Fargeat’s body-horror fable The Substance (likely an unofficial inspiration), the FX series leans hard into glossy excess while peeling back the grotesque cost of chasing perfection at any price. When a series of strange, brutal deaths begins surfacing among elite supermodels, two special-unit FBI agents—Cooper Madsen and Jordan Bennett (played by Evan Peters and Rebecca Hall)—are sent in to investigate, only to find themselves wrapped up in a seductive, insidious underworld where beauty is instant but the price is fatal.

The cast also includes Anthony Ramos as Byron Forst’s lethal enforcer known only as “The Assassin,” whose job is to eliminate loose ends and keep corporate secrets buried. Screen legend Isabella Rossellini costars as Forst’s frustrated mother, Franny, while real-life supermodel Bella Hadid gets the chance to cut loose as a model addicted to the wonder drug, only to quickly discover its promise of perfection is anything but flawless.

Jeremy Pope, Ben Platt, Ari Graynor, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Meghan Trainor round out the cast, alongside a stacked list of guest stars.

Co-created by Murphy and Matthew Hodgson (Glee, 9-1-1), the new FX series is based on The Beauty comic book by Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley, which explains the show’s wildly visual aesthetic.

The Beauty is due to premiere Wednesday, January 21st on FX, streaming on Hulu and Disney+.

📺 “Wonder Man” New Promo: Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Takes On Superheroes, Studio Notes, and Marvel’s Own Hollywood Machine in This Meta MCU Satire Miniseries — Premieres Tues, January 27th on Disney+

While most MCU fans are fervently waiting for Avengers: Doomsday, this month viewers will be given a behind-the-curtain peek at the making of a Wonder Man movie… well, sort of. It’s an MCU satire starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as a struggling actor who’s just landed the lead in a glossy superhero reboot, only to discover that the real battle isn’t supervillains—it’s surviving studio notes, franchise expectations, and the soul-crushing machinery of modern blockbuster filmmaking. Think less origin story, more industry roast, with Marvel turning the camera inward and poking fun at its own assembly line in the process. Ben Kingsley also returns as Trevor Slattery, the perpetually failing actor whose résumé somehow includes posing as a terrorist, becoming a media-savvy hostage, and now (against all odds) finding his way back to Hollywood.

On the outside, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd’s troubled detective is racing the clock, juggling professional duty and personal demons as the real motives behind the heist begin to surface.

📺 “Anne Rice’s The Vampire Lestat” New ‘Backstage’ Teaser: Sam Reid Rocks Out as the Immortal Icon Reinvents Himself for a Very Loud New Era — Premieres 2026 on AMC/AMC+

But here’s the catch: it’s been rebranded as Anne Rice’s The Vampire Lestat, shifting the spotlight to the famed vampire Lestat de Lioncourt (a returning Sam Reid) as he transforms himself into a rising glam rocker—proving that immortality and reinvention go hand in hand. Based on Rice’s novel of the same name, this new chapter follows Lestat clawing his way back into the spotlight by forming a rock band and hitting the road on a swagger-fueled tour. As part of AMC’s ever-growing Immortal Universe, the series leans fully into Lestat’s flair for spectacle, celebrity, and unapologetic self-mythmaking. Because if immortality has taught Lestat anything, it’s that the spotlight never stays empty for long.

📺 “Wonder Man” New Trailer: Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Skewers Superhero Stardom in Marvel’s Meta Hollywood Satire Series with Sir Ben Kingsley — Premiering Tues, January 27th on Disney+

It’s a new year and so is a new slate of MCU projects coming soon. First on the docket, Wonder Man, a satirical, meta superhero series that poses the question: in a world filled with Marvel superheroes, what does the making of a superhero movie really look like. Feeling more like a tongue-in-cheek satire than an actual MCU canon entry, the eight-episode miniseries leans into self-awareness, poking fun at Hollywood’s obsession with superhero IP—which might be a welcome change of pace, considering how serious the MCU’s recent output has been.

Here, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, of HBO’s Watchmen and Aquaman fame, stars as Simon Williams, a struggling L.A. actor who finally lands the role of a lifetime: playing the lead in a big-budget Wonder Man movie remake. It’s a dream gig that quickly spirals into something messier, as Simon is swallowed by the Hollywood machinery while trying to figure out who he really is beneath the mask. The twist, of course, is that Simon may be hiding a little secret of his own: he might actually have real superhero powers. A huge no-no according to the deal he just signed with the studio, making things far more complicated than any role he’s ever played.

Added to the baked-in humor of the show is Sir Ben Kingsley, who reprises his fan-favorite role as Trevor Slattery, a washed-up actor once known as “the Mandarin,” now freshly freed from the clutches of Xu Wenwu and back on the streets of L.A. looking for… what else? More acting gigs. Trevor becomes Simon’s unlikely mentor, doling out career advice, questionable wisdom, and carrying a whole lot of baggage—chief among it being that much of the world still remembers him as the public face of the evil terrorist known as the Mandarin. Hey, they say bad press is better than no press at all.

Simon and Trevor become unlikely partners as they attack the absurdity of Hollywood from the inside, navigating big egos and industry nonsense, all in the dream of becoming something real in a town built almost entirely on illusion.

Croatian-Danish actor Zlatko Burić becomes one of those rare performers to appear in both the Marvel and DC cinematic universes, having just co-starred as the ruthless President of Boravia in last year’s Superman movie. Here, Burić takes on the larger-than-life role of Von Kovak, a bloated, egomaniacal filmmaker who not only controls the rights to the Wonder Man IP but is determined to turn this latest reboot into his ultimate vanity project.

The first two episodes are directed by Shang-Chi helmer Destin Daniel Cretton, who also serves as co-creator of the series alongside writer-producer Andrew Guest (Brooklyn Nine-Nine).

Wonder Man is slated to premiere Tuesday, January 27th on Disney+.

📺 “Shrinking: Season 3” Trailer: Jason Segel and Harrison Ford Return in a New Season of Apple’s Most Emotionally Messy, Big-Hearted Comedy Series Featuring a Guest Turn From Michael J. Fox — Premieres Wed, January 28th on Apple TV

Hey, are you looking for a really good comedy series that leans hard on friendship—and shows how sometimes the act of being good can be messy, complicated, and emotionally exhausting? Plus, Harrison Ford as a lovable curmudgeon who couldn’t be more perfectly cast if he tried? Well, Shrinking just might be the show for you, as it has all those things alongside Jason Segel at the center as a therapist who might need more help than the people he’s trying to fix.

Shrinking will be returning later this month with its third season, and fans who have watched since its start have followed the trials and tribulations of Segel’s Jimmy Laird as he’s gone from a grieving therapist and fractured family man to an overly optimistic, boundary-obliterating fixer who’s learning—often the hard way—that good intentions don’t always lead to clean outcomes.

It’s the show your friends and family members have been telling you to watch since season one. And so, maybe it’s finally time to catch up and get ready for season three of Shrinking, as it will feature a couple of nice surprises you might not have expected—namely, a guest appearance by TV icon Michael J. Fox, marking his first on-screen TV role since 2020’s The Good Fight. The other cool surprise: a mini How I Met Your Mother reunion, as Cobie Smulders pops up as Jimmy’s new potential love interest.

What started as a character piece on grief, with Segel’s Jimmy falling apart after the death of his wife and being left to care for his teenage daughter, played by Lukita Maxwell, has slowly turned into one of the best ensemble comedy series in recent memory. The show now feels less about one man imploding and more about a messy, interconnected group of friends trying (sometimes clumsily, sometimes selfishly) to show up for one another.

Also, the unlikely pairing of Harrison Ford and comedienne Jessica Williams has become one of the show’s secret weapons—a twosome we didn’t know we needed, but now can’t imagine the series without. And the other huge secret weapon: Ted McGinley, a TV vet who finally gets to chew on a role that fully understands how funny, warm, and deceptively sharp he’s always been.

Co-created by Bill Lawrence and British comedian Brett Goldstein—the same team behind Ted Lasso—along with Jason Segel, the series will be returning Wednesday, January 28th on Apple TV. So, consider this your friendly reminder to finally see what everyone’s been raving about.

📺 “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair” Teaser: Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston & Jane Kaczmarek Return for This 4-Part Reunion Special — Premiering Fri, April 10th on Hulu/Disney+

Here’s a shock to the system you might not have knon: Frankie Muniz just turned 40 years old this past December. But if you think Malcolm has finally escaped the gravitational pull of his dysfunctional family, think again. It’s been 19 years since we last checked in on the clan, and they’re back for a reunion that doubles as a nostalgia trip and a reality check, as everyone is a bit older but very much the same in terms of maturity level. It’s like they’ve been emotionally frozen right where we left them: still arguing, still scheming, and still making Malcolm’s life a never-ending exercise in survival.

Frankie Muniz reunites with Bryan Cranston, Jane Kaczmarek, and original cast members Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield for a four-part reunion special, marking the long-awaited revival of Malcolm in the Middle, the long-running FOX sitcom that aired for seven seasons during the early 2000s—and was likely playing in the background for the entirety of your childhood.

The whole gang is back for Hal and Lois’s (Cranston and Kaczmarek) 40th anniversary party. But whenever this family gets under the same roof, chaos isn’t just inevitable, it’s basically the guest of honor.

Malcolm (Muniz), Hal and Lois’s brilliant middle child, is now a father to a teenage daughter (Keeley Karsten) and, much like his own dad, is finding it difficult to navigate parenthood without reliving a few familiar emotional scars along the way. His plan, however, was working—his life had been “fantastic” as long as he stayed far away from his family. But that peace could only last so long.

Actor Caleb Ellsworth-Clark joins the reunion special to play Malcolm’s often-ignored younger brother, Dewey, replacing original actor Erik Per Sullivan, who has since stepped away from acting following the show’s original run.

Meanwhile, new cast members include Kiana Madeira as Malcolm’s girlfriend, Tristan; Emy Coligado as Piama, Francis’s (Christopher Masterson) sharp-tongued Alaskan wife; and Vaughan Murrae as Kelly, the youngest sibling—a character teased in the series finale when Malcolm learns his mother is pregnant again with a daughter.

Once again executive produced and written by series creator Linwood Boomer, Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair will consist of four 30-minute episodes, premiering as a Hulu and Disney+ exclusive comedy special set for Friday, April 10th. Catch the teaser above.

With international stakes, buried grudges, and a ticking clock, this is espionage that traps its heroes in one place—and gives them little room to breathe, let alone escape.
