Let’s talk about the new contestants before I put off discussing the drama with Kymanda any longer! We’ve met four people so far who all seem really interesting. There’s KJ, who’s a model and skateboarder; Bailey, a host and influencer; Ben, a model, entrepreneur, Australian, and former star of The Bachelor; and Levi, an event planner. It’s a little sad that Levi is the only one without multiple professions listed, and it makes me think about what they’d even call me if I were on a reality show. Would it be Brian, journalist/retired heartthrob? Brian, the one who loves to talk trash and eat snacks? Or Brian, the writer who says he’s versatile but is actually into being submissive?

New images have been released offering a first look at Apple TV+’s reimagining of Martin Scorsese’s classic thriller, Cape Fear. The series stars Javier Bardem as Max Cady, a dangerous criminal seeking revenge on his former lawyer, Tom Bowden (Patrick Wilson), and Bowden’s wife, Anna (Amy Adams), after being released from prison.

Apple TV announced that the new movie Mayday will be available to stream worldwide on September 4th. According to Apple TV, it’s an action-comedy that puts a fresh spin on the classic spy thriller.

The main cast of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is returning for the next season. This includes Anna Sawai and Ren Watabe, who play half-siblings Cate and Kentaro as they continue to investigate the mysterious organization connected to their missing father. Kurt and Wyatt Russell will both be back as Lee Shaw, portraying him at different points in time.

The incredibly popular author Brandon Sanderson sold the rights to his vast, 25+ book world after discussions with several major film and TV studios. He ultimately reached a deal with Apple TV that gives him an unprecedented level of creative control – he’ll write, produce, consult on, and approve all adaptations. This is more control than even established authors like George R.R. Martin and J.K. Rowling have over their own projects at Warner Bros. Discovery. The initial plan is to turn Sanderson’s Mistborn series into a television show and The Stormlight Archive into big-screen movies.

The movie Finding Her Edge features Madelyn Keys as Adriana Russo, alongside Cale Ambrozic as her new skating partner, Brayden Elliot, and Olly Atkins as Freddie O’Connell, her ex-boyfriend and previous partner. The cast also includes Alexandra Beaton, Alice Malakhov, Millie Davis, Harmon Walsh, Meredith Forlenza, and Niko Ceci.

I’m so excited for Matchbox The Movie! It’s coming to Apple TV on October 9, 2026, and it’s being directed by Sam Hargrave, who I really admire for his work on Extraction and The Last Frontier. The script is by David Coggeshall, who wrote The Family Plan and Orphan: First Kill. It’s awesome to see Mattel bringing their classic toys to life on screen – especially after how well Barbie did! Matchbox is just the beginning; they’ve got Hot Wheels, Polly Pocket, Barney, Magic 8 Ball, Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots, and more all planned, and I can’t wait to see them all!

Directed by Sam Hargrave, known for his work on Extraction, this movie is based on the classic Matchbox toy line. The story follows John Cena as Sean, a CIA agent who returns home after a failed mission and accidentally pulls his old friends into a global adventure. The cast also includes Jessica Biel, Sam Richardson, Arturo Castro, Teyonah Parris, Danai Gurira, and Corey Stoll.

Sam Raimi’s latest film features Rachel McAdams as Linda, who finds herself stranded on an island with her overbearing boss, Bradley Preston (played by O’Brien), after their plane goes down. Linda’s extensive survival skills quickly give her the upper hand, as Bradley is injured and completely unprepared for the situation. Ultimately, in Send Help, she kills him with a golf club and returns home, where she becomes a famous personality, falsely claiming to be the only person who survived the crash.

Apple has released the first image from their upcoming movie, Mayday. The photo features Ken Branagh and Ryan Reynolds’ characters lying in the snow, looking distressed and cold. You can see the image below.
