Released on Netflix on June 20, 2025, KPop Demon Hunters quickly became the platform’s most popular movie and a worldwide hit. The film centers around the K-pop group HUNTR/X, who secretly fight demons and use their music as a weapon against evil. KPop Demon Hunters made history when four of its songs entered the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart at the same time. Both the movie and its soundtrack received widespread recognition, including a Grammy and two Academy Awards.

Okay, so I’m a bit of a streaming stats geek, and I just noticed something wild. This new show, Twisted Yoga, literally just dropped on Apple TV, and it hasn’t even had any reviews yet – not a single one! But somehow, it’s absolutely exploding. Less than a week after release, it’s already cracked the top 10 most-streamed shows in a ton of countries, including the US. It’s seriously taking off!

Okay, so as a total movie and TV buff, I was shocked when His & Hers, which came out in January 2026 and was based on Alice Feeney’s book, actually beat out the final episodes of Stranger Things as the biggest show on Netflix that month! And it wasn’t just a fluke – You, that incredible five-season thriller, really showed that Netflix can deliver seriously good, high-quality storytelling when they want to. It proved they’re capable of investing in stuff that’s genuinely brilliant.

This drama series, which ran for three seasons, stars Brendan Gleeson, nominated for an Academy Award, alongside Harry Treadaway. Holland Taylor, Mary-Louise Parker, and Justine Lupe (from Succession) also feature. It was created by David E. Kelley, known for popular shows like Ally McBeal and Big Little Lies, with several episodes co-written by Dennis Lehane, the author of Mystic River and Shutter Island. Although it didn’t initially gain much attention, the series has a strong 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, including a perfect 100% for its second season, and is now finding a new audience after becoming available on Peacock.

In the upcoming independent film, As Deep As the Grave, a digital recreation of the actor—who passed away from pneumonia at age 65 on April 1, 2025—will portray Father Fintan, a unique character combining the roles of a Catholic priest and a Native American spiritual leader.

Fans can look forward to Incredibles 3, the next chapter in Pixar’s popular animated superhero series about the Parr family. The movie was officially announced at D23 in 2024, over five years after Incredibles 2 came out. While Brad Bird, who directed the first two films, wrote the story, Peter Sohn – known for directing Elemental – will be directing this installment.

Fans are incredibly excited for the next Marvel movie, Phase 6, especially because Peter Parker (Tom Holland) will be battling some classic villains from the comics. Along with some new faces, a familiar character many fans have waited a long time to see will also be returning.

In the first issue of Deathstroke: The Terminator, written by Tony Fleecs and illustrated by Carmine Di Giandomenico, Slade Wilson is unusually thoughtful. He’s pondering how to reconnect with his daughter, Rose, and while carrying out a new assignment, he mentally drafts a letter to her.

Both James Franco and Dane DeHaan previously played Harry Osborn in Spider-Man films. However, when Tom Holland took on the role, the movies shifted focus, giving Ned Leeds (played by Jacob Batalon) the role of Peter Parker’s best friend. Now, with a new Spider-Man trilogy beginning, there’s speculation that familiar faces like Harry Osborn and Gwen Stacy might appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Westerns lost popularity by the late 1960s and never really made a comeback – that is, until shows like Yellowstone and Justified began mixing classic Western themes with modern crime dramas. This combination proved popular and became a hallmark of many successful TV shows in the 2020s.
