I started watching The Chi when it first came out on Showtime back in January 2018. It stayed with me when Showtime and Paramount+ combined their streaming libraries in January 2024. I was really excited to hear in May 2025, right when season 7 started, that the show was getting renewed for an eighth season. But then, just a few months later in October, we found out that season 8 would be the last one. It’s sad to see it end, but I’m grateful for all the seasons we had!

The Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour showcased a particularly thrilling game, created with significant input from Akira Toriyama. This new title offers a fresh perspective on the Dragon Ball universe, taking place over 200 years in the future. Players will meet Brett, a new hero who fights alongside them.

Some of the most memorable TV characters include Walter White from Breaking Bad, Don Draper from Mad Men, and Dexter Morgan from Dexter. Dexter is arguably the most morally complex, as he’s a serial killer who only targets other criminals. This unique code of justice fascinated viewers and led to three spin-off series.

The Prime Video series based on the first campaign of Critical Role has been very successful, earning perfect scores from critics and attracting a large audience. It also led to the creation of the popular spinoff series, Mighty Nein. A fourth season of Legend of Vox Machina was quickly approved and is scheduled to premiere on June 3, 2026.

The newest trailer offers a more detailed look at Eternia, the home of He-Man (Prince Adam), and Castle Grayskull – the source of his powers. After being seemingly stuck on Earth for years, the hero is finally returning to his homeland. And it’s clear that Eternia is stunning, with the Masters of the Universe team doing an exceptional job bringing it to life.

Recent issues within The Bachelor franchise, including leaked footage of a domestic assault incident involving Paul from 2023 and the subsequent removal of his season of The Bachelorette, created uncertainty about the show’s future. Disney, under new leadership, is committed to ensuring The Bachelor returns strong. According to Mills, they are taking time to produce the best possible season, but the franchise is definitely continuing.

This isn’t about the child molestation accusations that began in 1993. A previous cut of the film initially presented the first accusation as a shakedown, but that was changed with costly revisions. Now, the film stops covering Jackson’s life before the 1988 Bad tour, circling back to that period and hinting at a possible continuation. However, the movie struggles to connect key moments from Jackson’s life into a compelling narrative, lacking dramatic tension. It doesn’t offer much insight into his personal life, his artistry, or his complicated family relationships. Michael barely maintains enough momentum to move between musical performances, which seem to be the film’s primary focus. Watching it feels less like experiencing a movie and more like being led through a lifeless museum exhibit, where each scene is recreated with an unsettling, almost-but-not-quite-right accuracy and without any emotional depth.

A worried neighbor asks young Sasha why she did something risky. In director Sophy Romvari’s first feature film, Blue Heron, Sasha is playing with friends when she climbs onto the cover of a swimming pool. The cover isn’t strong enough, and she begins to fall into the water. The film doesn’t explain why Sasha climbed onto the pool cover, and that’s not really the point. Ultimately, she’s okay, though soaked from the experience.

Avengers: Endgame will be back in movie theaters on September 25, 2026, potentially boosting its total box office earnings. Director Joe Russo announced at the Sands Film Festival (according to Deadline) that this re-release will include new footage that connects to the upcoming film, Doomsday, which is scheduled to come out on December 18, 2026.

It’s truly special when a movie finds its unique voice right from the beginning and maintains it throughout. I believe some directors are naturally gifted storytellers, able to connect with audiences effortlessly – it’s remarkable how easily they do what often seems so challenging. Think of filmmakers like David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick, and Céline Sciamma. With her first feature film, Sophy Romvari proves she’s part of that rare group.
