Okay, so everyone’s been talking about Euphoria and how the actors are clearly getting too old to convincingly play high schoolers. It looks like season 3 is going to jump forward in time to address that, which is smart. But honestly, even that might not fix everything. The biggest reaction to the trailer online seems to suggest there are still some deeper issues people have with the show, and a time jump alone won’t magically solve them. As a big fan, I’m hoping they can pull it off, but the initial response is a little concerning.

The newest issue of SFX Magazine, available on TopMob, focuses on The War Between the Land and the Sea and features several interesting interviews. They spoke with Neill Gorton, CEO of Millennium FX, who was in charge of designing the new Homo Aqua – previously known as the “Sea Devils” in the Doctor Who universe. Gorton explained that the design needed to be distinct from other classic Doctor Who aliens for a clear reason:

In an interview with The Direct, actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II discussed his character’s choice to become a public superhero in a world where heroes like the Avengers already exist, rather than secretly using his abilities to build a career behind the scenes.

In the second episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, called “Hard Salt Beef,” the story includes a scene showing Ser Arlan of Pennytree leaving a cabin to relieve himself outside.

Okay, so this new Game of Thrones prequel is definitely leaning into comedy way more than House of the Dragon, and episode two of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms doubled down on that. While the adventures of Dunk and Egg are providing plenty of laughs, I think the real standout so far is Lyonel Baratheon – or as everyone’s quickly calling him, the Laughing Storm! Actor Daniel Ings recently talked about how he specifically wanted to bring a sense of playful chaos to the role, even before his character became the instant fan favorite he is now, and it totally works. He’s absolutely killing it at the Ashford Tourney!

Beyond the biggest hits, there are many other exciting anime series coming in 2026 that fans are eagerly awaiting. These upcoming shows, while perhaps lesser known, promise to be excellent and quickly gain popularity within the anime community.

A new three-part documentary series called Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model, directed by Mor Loushy and Daniel Sivan, will be released on February 16th.

Popular shows like Daredevil: Born Again are being revived, and fan favorites like Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock, Jon Bernthal as the Punisher, and Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones are returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Essentially, the stories of the former Defenders are getting a fresh start, and this creates opportunities to connect the current Marvel narrative with its past.

The second season ended with a shocking cliffhanger: Abby and Ellie faced off in a Seattle theater, but we didn’t see how their confrontation ended. Instead, the show flashed back to the beginning of their time in Seattle, signaling a big change in the story. Season 3 will explore this new direction fully.

Despite a lot of romantic connections this season, the biggest drama came from the falling out between Nathan and Joe. They were incredibly close last season, excitedly reuniting when Joe returned to the Bravado to help with the deck crew. Sandy even feared their friendship would disrupt the already tense dynamic of the exterior team, and it actually caused Max to feel excluded and hold a grudge. However, at the end of the season, they didn’t even share a hug. Nathan simply wished Joe well, and Joe brushed it off, saying they both wanted different things. Nathan is preparing to be a father, while Joe plans to continue traveling and, according to the show, causing trouble for women in Liverpool.
