The new issue of W magazine celebrates performances from some of the best movies of 2025, and Sydney Sweeney notched quite a few credits over the past year that are worthy of mention. The cover photo, however, stands all on its own, the actress paralyzing fans with that sultry look into the camera. Take a peek at her Instagram post:
For years, Mad Men has been a popular show on streaming services. In late 2025, a remastered 4K version became available on HBO Max. Despite some technical issues with the remaster, the show continues to be a hit. As of today, Mad Men is the seventh most popular series on HBO Max and has been in the Top 10 for 32 days since the 4K version was released.
The show’s final season received a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and it evolved to tackle big ideas like artificial intelligence, widespread surveillance, and what it means to be ethical. Even ten years later, it still connects with viewers today. Instead of feeling like a product of its time – specifically, post-9/11 television – the series now seems eerily prescient, almost like it predicted the future.
The second season picks up ten months later, during a busy Fourth of July, and finds its footing by staying true to its strengths. Noah Wyle returns as Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch, alongside the familiar team of doctors, nurses, interns, and students, dealing with typical holiday emergencies – barbecue accidents, firework injuries, and the usual challenges of the emergency room. While a few new medical students arrive and one character is missing, the show largely maintains the fast-paced medical accuracy and engaging character interactions that made the first season so compelling. There’s a significant plot twist mid-season, but it doesn’t quite have the same impact as the one in the first season.
The upcoming film will feature Ryan Gosling and be directed by Shawn Levy. Having recently finished his work on the popular series Stranger Things as a producer and director, Levy shared with The Hollywood Reporter that the show actually helped prepare him for this new movie. He realized that even with large-scale productions, the heart of a story often lies in the small details. He went on to explain…
Marvel movies are known for being tightly guarded secrets. While it’s common for films to keep plot details under wraps, Marvel takes this to another level. This secrecy is especially interesting considering how often the same actors and crew work on multiple films within the franchise.
Lionsgate has revealed that they’ll start filming The Housemaid’s Secret, the follow-up to The Housemaid, in 2026.
2026 promises a lot of great TV, both new and returning, but many viewers are especially excited for the second season of The Pitt. We’ll see Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle), Dana Evans (Katherine LaNasa), and the rest of the cast return, and there’s good reason to believe the new season will be just as good as the first. It’s poised to continue addressing some of the biggest frustrations with modern television.
Amazon MGM Studios has revealed the full cast for the upcoming Tomb Raider series, starring Sophie Turner as Lara Croft. Joining her are Sigourney Weaver as Evelyn Wallis, Martin Bobb-Semple as Zip, Jason Isaacs as Atlas DeMornay, Bill Paterson as Winston, Jack Bannon as Gerry, John Heffernan as David, Celia Imrie as Francine, Paterson Joseph as Thomas Warner, Sasha Luss as Sasha, Juliette Motamed as Georgia, and August Wittgenstein as Lukas. Sigourney Weaver will play the primary antagonist, a powerful and enigmatic woman who wants to use Lara’s skills for her own purposes.
Marvel is currently finishing up work on Avengers: Doomsday, directed by Joe and Anthony Russo. It’s scheduled to hit US theaters later this year, and a follow-up movie, Avengers: Secret Wars, is planned for 2027.
