Anime fans have a lot to look forward to next year, with exciting new releases like JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.

As 2026 approaches, we want to highlight some of the upcoming sci-fi series you won’t want to miss.

Just when things were starting to improve between the warring factions, a sorcerer named Yakumaru shot and killed Cross, effectively deciding Japan’s fate. The situation quickly deteriorated with the arrival of Dabura, whose immense power forced the remaining sorcerers to submit. Now, Dabura has challenged anyone from Earth to fight him. Because the story of Modulo takes place in the same world as Jujutsu Kaisen, we can expect to see familiar faces. However, Chapter 15 unexpectedly brings back a key character from the original series in a shocking and frightening way.
The 1990s comedy Dumb and Dumber is a classic because it feels fresh and is packed with perfectly timed jokes and fantastic chemistry between Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. However, its 2014 sequel, Dumb and Dumber To, didn’t capture that same magic, even though Carrey and Daniels still worked well together. Why did the sequel fall so flat? Let’s explore why the original Dumb and Dumber, which is celebrating its 31st anniversary today, likely should have remained a standalone film.
Universal Pictures has decided to postpone the release of the movie SOULM8TE. This is unexpected because the film was scheduled to hit theaters in less than a month, on January 9, 2026. Now, Universal will try to sell the movie to other studios, but it’s unclear which one will end up distributing it.
DC Comics is beginning to emphasize the importance of teamwork and family in its stories, and a recent example really highlights this. In the comic DC K.O.: Wonder Woman vs. Lobo, Wonder Woman faced off against Lobo in a tournament. While Lobo tried to win the competition on his own, Wonder Woman succeeded by fighting with her allies, demonstrating how much she values the support of her “sisters” – both literal and figurative – in her adventures.
Near the end of the first season of IT: Welcome to Derry, Dick has a direct confrontation with Pennywise, attempting to trap the creature, but he’s ultimately outmatched. Although Pennywise is defeated and forced back into a 27-year slumber within Derry’s limits, Hallorann decides he’s had enough and leaves town. He explains he’s going to London to work as a chef in a new hotel restaurant owned by a friend – a job that will eventually lead him to the Overlook Hotel and the events of The Shining.
M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender, originally intended as the first film in a series, is widely considered a disappointing adaptation and failed to gain traction with audiences or critics. Based on the first season of the popular Nickelodeon show Avatar: The Last Airbender, the movie began streaming on Paramount+ on December 1st. It follows Aang, the last of the Airbenders, as he trains to control all four elements and bring balance back to the world.
After J.R.R. Tolkien’s death, his son, Christopher, took on the enormous job of sorting through, editing, and publishing his father’s unpublished stories over many years. These later publications have become incredibly important for fans eager to learn more about Middle-earth, especially after the success of Peter Jackson’s movies and the recent The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power series. They give crucial background to the events and relationships shown on screen, turning Middle-earth into a fully realized world with a rich history spanning millennia. Without these published works, our knowledge of key elements like the One Ring, the Wizards, and the Elves would be significantly lacking.
