For the past 25 years, television has given us some truly unforgettable villains. We’ve put together a list of characters who have been the most impactful, shown the most chilling ruthlessness, or challenged how we think about what makes someone a villain. To keep things balanced, we limited the list to one villain per TV series – otherwise, characters from Game of Thrones would likely take over! Here are the best TV villains of the last quarter-century.
Two years after his earlier roles, Timothée Chalamet starred as the lead in David Michôd’s ambitious historical drama, The King, which was based on Shakespeare’s history plays. Despite some historical liberties, the film was widely praised, with particularly strong performances receiving a lot of attention. Looking back seven years later, The King stands out as a turning point in Chalamet’s career – a move from smaller, independent films to larger, more popular blockbusters. With the trailer for Dune 3 recently released, it’s a good time to remember his impressive performance in The King!
I grew up watching TV in the 2000s, and shows like Lost, Gilmore Girls, and Breaking Bad were just… huge. They really changed what TV could be, and everyone still talks about them. But honestly, while Malcolm in the Middle was so different and funny, it never quite reached that same legendary status, you know? Now that they’re bringing it back in 2026, it feels like the perfect moment to remember just how special and unique that show really was.
I’ve always loved Riggle’s comedy, but I was so impressed to learn about his incredible service! He dedicated 23 years to the U.S. Marine Corps, starting in 1990 and retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2013. He wasn’t just a reservist either; he served actively and then continued in the Reserves, even deploying to places like Liberia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan. It really adds another layer of respect for everything he does.
A Marvel executive recently explained on the official Daredevil: Born Again podcast that the success of Spider-Man: No Way Home helped make the Charlie Cox Daredevil series possible.
Xavier and Teri are happily reunited and are heading back to Colorado thanks to a ride arranged by Link – I’m curious about what questions they asked Xavier regarding the bunker! They’re eager to get back to their children and start a new life. While Xavier is wanted for serious crimes, they’re putting those worries aside for now. However, leaving Atlanta proves difficult when Gary contacts Teri, revealing he has Bean and requesting she return immediately. No matter how many times Xavier says he’s coming to rescue someone, he delivers the line with such unwavering conviction that it’s impossible not to trust him – I’d follow him anywhere. For now, their destination is simply the post office, where they’re going to pick up Teri’s son.
The image shows Dwayne Johnson playing the demigod Maui in Moana 2.0 (the working title). The full trailer reveals Johnson with Maui’s famous tattoos and impressively muscular physique. While he’s in great shape, he isn’t quite as wide as the animated version of the character. And, unsurprisingly, his hair is different from the animated Maui’s – it’s clear he’s wearing a hairpiece!
A new sci-fi thriller is quickly becoming popular on Prime Video. Starring two well-known actors in the genre, the movie offers a fresh take on a story that many are comparing to the classic film, Minority Report.
Kevin Costner’s daughter, Reilly Costner, and Forrie J. Hauser will reprise their roles as Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler in Dutton Ranch, a new series continuing the story of the Yellowstone universe after the original show ended in 2024. The drama also stars Finn Little, Juan Pablo Raba, Jai Courtney, J.R. Villarreal, Marc Menchaca, Natalie Alyn Lind, Ed Harris, and Annette Bening.
The science fiction film launched in cinemas on January 23rd. Following a short theatrical release, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man became available on Netflix on March 20th. The Immortal Man was well-received, but Mercy received mixed reviews and didn’t perform well in theaters. Despite this, Mercy is now a chart-topper, according to FlixPatrol.
