As a moviegoer, I’ve noticed a pattern: studios typically release their blockbusters in the spring, summer, and around the holidays. And 2026 is no different – all the big titles are scheduled for those peak seasons, when we’re all more likely to head to the cinema. While it might seem like 2026 is off to a slow start at the box office, I’m actually predicting it could surprisingly surpass the record set back in 2019 – a year we all thought was unbeatable!

About 44 minutes into the film, there’s a memorable scene featuring the main characters, Kid (Chris Reid) and Play (Chris Martin), with their respective love interests, played by Tisha Campbell and A.J. Johnson. However, focusing solely on that moment doesn’t fully capture how truly excellent – and groundbreaking – Reginald Hudlin’s first feature film is. Hudlin drew inspiration from comedies like Animal House and Risky Business, as well as important Black films such as Cooley High, with the goal of making a wild and funny teen movie that centered on the experiences of people of color. The film was a huge success, earning $25 million in theaters, starting a series of movies, and making Kid and Play famous.

The next season of the show will follow Ted Lasso as he returns to England, but this time he won’t be coaching the men’s team, A.F.C. Richmond. Instead, he’s taking on the challenge of coaching a women’s soccer team. Joining the cast are new actors Tanya Reynolds (known from Sex Education), Jude Mack (Such Brave Girls), Faye Marsay (Andor), Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey (Jurassic World: Dominion), and Abbie Hern (My Lady Jane). Grant Feely, who starred in Five Nights at Freddy’s, will also appear. Prepare to be inspired all over again!

His straightforward observation skewed quite differently from other current conversations about late night, most of which are about exits and big changes being implemented. But it’s what people in that chair probably think all the time but would never say out loud. In a clip from The Tonight Show, Davidson explained why he actually thinks Fallon has one of the toughest gigs in entertainment. It’s not the schedule or the audience expectations that come with hosting one of the most visible shows on television.

SYRN, the new lingerie line, officially launches today, and that means there are plenty of new sexy pictures of Sydney Sweeney in her underwear on the internet…if that’s your thing. The comments on the official announcement are full of people looking forward to making a purchase or simply…admiring Sweeney’s all-natural merchandise.

Tygo promises the same powerful punches as Don Lee, but now with even more impressive action thanks to a new stunt team led by a highly skilled, yet often overlooked, action star (through M.A.A.C.). The star of The Raid recently started his own production and stunt company to recreate the incredible action that made The Raid so famous. Having him bring those skills – and Don Lee himself – to the Extraction series is incredibly exciting!

Sam Raimi’s upcoming 2026 film, Send Help, promises plenty of thrills and spills – and a lot of fake blood! Starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien, the movie follows two coworkers struggling to survive, both physically and mentally, after being marooned on a deserted island. Early glimpses of the film show the actors covered in blood, and when asked if the gore ever bothered him, Raimi gave a fantastic response (along with producer Zainab Azizi).

More to come.

The FBI series, created by Dick Wolf, was a successful addition to CBS’s Tuesday lineup – it was his only procedural drama franchise outside of NBC. Though the spin-offs didn’t achieve the same long-term popularity as the original FBI, both were well-liked. FBI: Most Wanted especially stood out, often delivering particularly strong episodes, sometimes even surpassing the quality of the main FBI show. Therefore, its cancellation was understandably upsetting.
