The streaming service will announce its summer 2026 lineup before the end of June, detailing which shows will be available, when they’ll be released, and in which regions. One of the most anticipated series, Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You, will premiere in July, though special episodes were already released on June 3rd. The first six episodes of the anime were remade into 12 shorter episodes and initially aired on the Japanese TV channel ABEMA.

The comic series Masters of the Universe: Wings of Fate connects to the new movie and features a story by Tim Sheridan, art by Will Sliney, colors by Israel Silva, and lettering by AndWorld Design. In an interview with ComicBook, Sheridan explained he quickly decided to focus the story on Orko. He reviewed the movie’s script and asked himself what unique angle the comic could explore. He realized fans would want to see more of the characters they loved, and he felt Orko offered a great opportunity for deeper exploration. Knowing it would be a surprising choice for readers, Sheridan committed to building the story around Orko to provide more detail and expand on the world established in the film.

Though they’ve only been around for just over a decade in DC Comics, the Court of Owls – who were introduced in Scott Snyder’s Batman run as part of the New 52 relaunch – have become a hugely popular part of the Dark Knight’s lore. They are, in fact, one of the most fondly remembered parts of the otherwise divisive New 52, and DC fans have long wanted to see them introduced to a live-action movie. Now, thanks to new rumors about Matt Reeves’ The Batman: Part II, we may finally be seeing that dream realized on the big screen for the first time. And frankly, it’s about damn time.
