I’ve been following Hacks since the beginning, and it’s fascinating to see how much the show has evolved. It started as this wonderfully barbed battle between Deborah Vance, a comedy legend past her prime, and Ava, a struggling writer. Then it settled into a comfortable groove of these two women working together. But Season Four really shook things up, showing us the emptiness that can come with achieving ‘success’ – especially when Deborah landed a late-night gig and then bravely walked away from a controlling, and frankly awful, billionaire boss. What I’ve noticed over the seasons is that the show’s initial, sharp satire of the Hollywood scene has softened. It feels like the creators are less willing to truly critique the people they now work alongside. Season Five doubles down on this shift, turning its attention away from comedians and actors and instead focusing its fire on the executives – the Bobs of the world – and the systemic issues of mismanagement and unchecked power that plague the industry. It makes you wonder if talent even matters anymore, or if it’s all just about who’s at the top.

After a nearly 20-year break from the role, Brendan Fraser is fully committed to preparing for The Mummy 4. He recently visited the Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride at Universal Studios Hollywood, exploring a simulated cursed Egyptian tomb with the film’s directors, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett – known as Radio Silence, the team behind the successful revival of the Scream movies. Universal Pictures shared a photo of the visit, captioning it, “Getting back into character!” and explaining that Fraser was preparing to reprise his role as Rick O’Connell.

In the second episode of The Boys Season 5, a major fight unfolded when the team tricked Soldier Boy and the new hero Jetstreak into the Teenage Kix’s hideout, not realizing Rock Hard was already a prisoner there. Once everyone was inside, The Boys released a virus, which immediately killed both Rock Hard and Jetstreak.

Premiering last year, The Eternaut is a six-episode sci-fi series adapted from the acclaimed comic book by Héctor Germán Oesterheld and Francisco Solano López. Created and directed by Bruno Stagnaro, with writing contributions from Ariel Staltari, the show quickly became a streaming success. Following its near-perfect 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it was renewed for a second season in May and is now one of the most anticipated sci-fi returns on the platform.

That’s really kind of you to say! I was incredibly nervous during this episode because I’m a big fan of the show. I kept thinking, ‘What if I mess up and get criticized online?’ But honestly, it was a fantastic experience overall.

The first season of Netflix’s crime-comedy, Big Mistakes, ends with a surprising twist and leaves Nicky (Dan Levy) and Morgan (Taylor Ortega) facing a new mystery. The series, from the creators of Schitt’s Creek, begins with the siblings trying to fulfill their mother Linda’s (Laurie Metcalf) wish to buy a necklace for their dying grandmother. What starts as a simple errand quickly spirals into something much bigger when a theft and kidnapping reveal the necklace—later buried with their grandmother—is far more valuable than they initially thought, leading to them being forced to work for criminals.

As The Rookie continues, it’s taking bigger swings with its stories. While it hasn’t reached the iconic status of shows like Law & Order, NCIS, or 9-1-1 just yet, the series has established a strong base that could allow it to continue for many seasons. Season 8 started with a bold operation in Prague and featured several unique cases. However, as good as these complex storylines are, sometimes a simple, well-told case is the most impactful – and that’s exactly what “Tiger Bear” delivers.

Released on July 2, 2025, “Rebirth” was directed by Gareth Edwards and earned approximately $869.1 million worldwide on a budget of $180-225 million. Scarlett Johansson stars in the main role, and the film also features Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Ed Skrein in supporting roles.

Joel Kinnaman has confirmed he won’t be returning as Rick Flag Jr. in the DC Universe. He stated in an interview with Screen Rant that Season 2 of Peacemaker was his last appearance as the character, putting an end to speculation about his future role.

Lee didn’t think twice about joining the new X-Men movie. He told Variety he immediately accepted the offer, saying you can’t pass up an opportunity like that. He’s excited about the project because he’s a fan of the X-Men and impressed with the people working on it.
