Though most of the actors in Criminal Minds: Evolution are from the original Criminal Minds series, the show has hinted at the possibility of past characters returning. For example, Shemar Moore reprised his role as Derek Morgan in several episodes of the original series, but hasn’t yet appeared in Evolution. Criminal Minds is known for portraying a strong sense of family among the BAU team, with close personal and working relationships developed over the years.

The first Star Wars movie to hit theaters in seven years, The Mandalorian and Grogu (released in 2026), continues the story from the popular Disney+ series The Mandalorian. It follows Din Djarin, a former bounty hunter, and Grogu, the force-sensitive child he protects, on a new journey. Directed by the show’s creator, Jon Favreau, the film opened over Memorial Day weekend and earned $81.7 million domestically—the lowest opening weekend for a Star Wars movie since 2002’s Attack of the Clones (which made $80 million, not adjusted for inflation).

Both The Chestnut Man: Hide and Seek and Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole delivered everything you want in a crime thriller: intriguing detectives, complicated mysteries, surprising twists, a strong sense of place, and plenty of suspenseful deaths. Cross season 2 on Prime Video offers a similar dark and gripping experience, and is among the platform’s best shows this year. However, Prime Video’s standout detective series so far has been a bit less intense.

Fantasy shows like The Witcher, Castlevania, Game of Thrones, and the upcoming Harry Potter series are known for creating incredibly detailed worlds, which can sometimes hinder the story’s progress. But it’s not just fantasy – some mystery shows are equally ambitious in their worldbuilding. Series like Lost, The Leftovers, and Stranger Things all tell large-scale stories with broad, expansive worlds.

Chris Pratt has been a professional actor for more than 25 years. He first became well-known in the early part of his career with TV series like Everwood, The O.C., and Parks & Recreation. But his career really took off when he played Peter Quill, also known as Star-Lord, in Guardians of the Galaxy. He continued to play Quill in Marvel movies while also establishing himself as a leading movie star in other films.

As a movie fan, I always check Peacock for great films from Universal. They have everything – the big franchises I love, and even some hidden gems I’d almost forgotten about! It’s become my go-to place because a lot of the biggest blockbusters first appear there, and usually, I don’t have to wait too long after a movie leaves theaters to find it streaming on Peacock.

In the second episode of Dutton Ranch, a seemingly small event set the stage for future trouble for Beth and Rip. They purchased a bull for $10,000 at an auction, where they crossed paths with Beulah Jackson from the 10-Petals Ranch. The bull was later delivered to the Dutton Ranch and added to Beth and Rip’s valuable herd of black Angus cattle.

As a huge Nintendo fan, I’m really excited about the upcoming announcements to celebrate this special occasion! We haven’t gotten much info yet, but things are finally starting to happen. They just revealed a new line of products that look amazing – I definitely want to get my hands on them, although it looks like collecting them all might be a little pricey!
