After a seven-year break following the conclusion of the Star Wars sequel trilogy with J.J. Abrams’ The Rise of Skywalker, the film franchise returns to theaters in 2026. Though the Star Wars universe lived on through Disney+ shows—featuring both familiar and new characters—fans were eager to see it flourish on the big screen again. Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian & Grogu fulfills that desire, continuing the story of the beloved pair and also challenging the idea that all Hutts are villains.

Despite its strangeness, Twin Peaks became surprisingly popular. It’s easily the most unusual show to ever achieve mainstream success on American network television, a fact even acknowledged by The Simpsons, which made fun of its confusing and surreal imagery. Unfortunately, most shows that try to be this creatively odd don’t connect with a wide audience, as was the case with Carnivalé, a critically acclaimed two-season series created by comic book writer and showrunner Daniel Knauf.

Unlike last season, the next three episodes of The Simpsons won’t air on Fox. Instead, they’ll be available only on Disney+, which might be disappointing for viewers who don’t have a subscription. Disney+ has been releasing original Simpsons content for a while now, including shorts and specials. Along with the announcement, a new trailer has been released, hinting at some unusual storylines. One episode features Homer Simpson imitating The Joker with full clown makeup, promising a mind-bending adventure. You can watch the trailer below.

X-Men ’97 fans have reason to celebrate! Executive producer Larry Houston announced that season four is officially happening, and the wait between seasons will be much shorter. While it took around two years to release season two after season one, future seasons will arrive annually. Houston told Entertainment Weekly that the team is already well ahead of schedule, having finished scripts and storyboards for season three and are now reviewing scripts for season four. This means they’re consistently developing new content and can deliver seasons every year.

I’m keeping an eye on One Battle After Another, and it’s currently sitting at number five on Prime Video’s most-watched list, according to FlixPatrol. What’s really interesting is that it was actually number one on HBO Max just after it racked up a bunch of Oscars earlier this year. It’s clearly still resonating with audiences!

Viewers have had varying reactions to The Rings of Power. Some appreciate the large budget and high production quality Amazon invested in the show, while others are disappointed by changes made to the original Tolkien stories, which differ from Peter Jackson’s films. Considering how expensive and ambitious the series is, many have questioned whether it can continue for the five seasons originally planned. We now have news about the show’s future.

The new anime, Smoking Behind the Supermarket With You, has already caught the attention of fans, and it’s no surprise given its unusually long title. While lengthy anime titles aren’t uncommon, particularly in the isekai genre, it’s rare to see a slice-of-life show with such a unique name. Beyond the title, the story itself is intriguing, offering a new take on the slice-of-life genre and potentially appealing to a broad audience.
