Fans are frustrated again about who’s appearing on the island, but this time it’s not about the contestants. The trailer for Survivor 50 heavily features celebrities, including appearances by Mr. Beast and Zac Brown in Fiji. It also hints at Jimmy Fallon influencing the game and a special idol themed after Billie Eilish.
In a recent interview with Variety, executive producer Miller revealed the planned plot for a second season of Boots. Miller, who is thankful for the opportunity to create a military drama with LGBTQ+ representation, explained that the show would have followed the main characters as they went to war if it had been renewed. Here’s what Miller shared about the storyline:
Though not part of an established series, Project Hail Mary is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films of 2026. Its realistic and scientifically grounded style is similar to the popular 2015 film The Martian, which starred Matt Damon and was directed by Ridley Scott – a thrilling story about survival on Mars. Now, eleven years later, Project Hail Mary has the potential to be a breakout sci-fi success in 2026, proving that a film doesn’t need to be connected to a major franchise to capture audiences.
Released in 1965, For a Few Dollars More is a standout Western from early in Clint Eastwood’s career. When people talk about The Man With No Name Trilogy, the conversation often focuses on the first and last films, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. This middle installment sometimes gets overlooked, but it’s a fantastic movie in its own right. Though it didn’t begin the series, nor did it have the epic scope of the final film, For a Few Dollars More is a dark and gripping story, notable for its complex plot and the strong performances from Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef.
Pollinger’s film takes place in 2003, a time of heightened prejudice against gay people and Muslims. While the film doesn’t directly address these issues, a sense of distrust runs throughout. A strong paranoia is present in every scene. However, while it touches on themes like racism, sexism, and fear of foreigners, it doesn’t explore them in great depth. Despite being engaging and tense, The Plague ultimately feels somewhat superficial.
Okay, so things got awkward at Emily’s. Marcello casually strolled downstairs completely naked, which, honestly, would have been fine if Mindy hadn’t been sleeping on the couch! Thankfully, Mindy’s being put up at this gorgeous hotel called the Orient Express La Minerva – and get this, it’s a real place! As for Luc, he’s always doing his own thing, and this time it involves staying at a convent – apparently, you can actually do that! I’ll admit, Luc’s storylines sometimes feel a little silly, but I actually really enjoyed this particular one.
The Bavazzatini cocktail, which has been popular in Paris, is being celebrated with a launch party in Rome at La Posta Vecchia. It seems Italians are only now discovering the espresso martini! Singer Mindy will be performing, as her song “Ruins” from last season’s finale has become a big hit there. I find the idea of Mindy becoming a small celebrity quite amusing. It’s also funny how she immediately left Alfie alone in Paris after asking the guys to keep her company, and flew off to Rome.
I’m grateful to my TV for always being a great listener – I secretly enjoy being watched by my devices! The season kicks off with Emily in the arms of her new love interest, Marcello, and his very first line is, “Come back to bed.” Yes! This is a fantastic start!
Chris Chalk is working to develop a series focused on his character, Dick Hallorann, from the It universe. He’s pitched a spin-off idea based on It: Welcome to Derry and believes Hallorann’s abilities allow for many storytelling possibilities now that he’s established within that world. As he told TV Insider, he sees potential for Dick to continue being a part of the franchise.
Netflix is famous for canceling TV shows. While many of these cancellations are quickly forgotten, some fans still feel disappointed about the lost potential. One show that still stings for many viewers is a complex, sci-fi mystery series that premiered on Netflix nearly three years ago.
