While some 2016 horror films didn’t quite hit the mark—like The Darkness, The Boy, and Cell—there were many more that were genuinely good. In fact, we received so many strong contenders that we couldn’t include them all in our list. Films that narrowly missed making the cut included Lights Out, 10 Cloverfield Lane, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, The Belko Experiment, Hush, Terrifier, and The Purge: Election Year.
Thirty-five years after leaving The Next Generation, Wesley Crusher is now being recognized by Starfleet Academy in the future. A recent clip shared on Star Trek‘s Instagram from the new Trek series shows Wesley’s name on a wall honoring famous Starfleet officers. Captain Ake specifically calls out “…our greatest officers… who went on to become legendary” while pointing to the mural. It seems Wil Wheaton’s character is finally getting the recognition he deserves, and his inclusion is sparking a conversation among fans – even if it feels like a nod to longtime viewers.
The latest season leaves viewers with more questions about Melinda, especially as it’s revealed she has a very strained relationship with her son, Damian. The season concludes during the intense Wheeler Arc, where spies from Westalis and Ostania are racing to find the person who stole top-secret documents, potentially endangering the already delicate peace between their nations. Many consider the season finale to be one of the best episodes yet, and fans are eagerly awaiting news about a fourth season. While the series hasn’t been officially renewed, there’s another exciting development for fans to anticipate.
In a recent interview with Polygon, the author discussed the challenges facing fantasy shows on streaming services, and revealed he’d prefer to see The Stormlight Archive adapted as a film. Considering a Mistborn movie is reportedly being developed, it’s likely he hopes for a similar approach with his other popular fantasy series. However, one of his books seems particularly well-suited for television. While not as famous as his other works, it appears to be a practical choice given the current trends in TV.
We’ve discovered 7 science fiction shows that have achieved something rare: a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes. Remarkably, these shows maintain that perfect rating even years after they originally aired. If you haven’t seen any of them, we highly recommend watching them now—a perfect score speaks for itself!
The “Age of Apocalypse” storyline is highly regarded, and the comic X-Man, created by Jeph Loeb and Steve Skroce, uniquely continued after the main event concluded. The first couple of years were particularly strong, and for just over two years, X-Man was the definitive series featuring Cable. A talented team of artists – including John Ostrander, Terry Kavanagh, Luke Ross, Roger Cruz, Val Semeiks, Alan Davis, Pasqual Ferry, Cary Nord, ChrisCross, Ariel Olivetti, Marc Pajarillo, and J.H. Williams III – consistently delivered excellent work across its 48 issues. While Cable was already a popular antihero, X-Man explored fresh perspectives and offered a classic superhero experience that many feel is underappreciated.
As a huge Doctor Who fan, I was thrilled to hear Russell T Davies is back for another Christmas special – it sounds like it’ll tie up the story with Billie Piper’s character, which is exciting! But it seems a full new season is happening too, though apparently with a tighter budget now that streaming isn’t quite the golden ticket it used to be. Honestly, with ratings declining over the last ten years, the show really needs to shake things up. It’s not just the Doctor who needs a fresh start; the whole series needs to reinvent itself to stay relevant.
The final season of My Hero Academia really tested Deku in his last fights, and he gave it his all in the climactic battle against All For One. In an interview with ComicBook celebrating the anime’s ending, Justin Briner, the voice actor for Deku, shared how he approached performing that crucial final attack. As you might expect for such an important moment, Briner focused on the energy of everyone who was counting on Deku to succeed.
Even though it’s been a while since Simu Liu was in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you can now catch him in the Peacock series The Copenhagen Test. The show comes from executive producer James Wan and creator Thomas Brandon, who also worked on Legacies. While it’s a more straightforward story than Pluribus, it should appeal to fans who enjoy suspenseful sci-fi or spy thrillers. Critics seem to be enjoying it too, as it currently has a 75% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, though that score is based on early reviews.
2025 was a big year for remakes, showing that revisiting old movies can be very profitable, even if the results aren’t always artistically impressive. Some of the most talked-about remakes of the year included Lilo & Stitch, How to Train Your Dragon, The Naked Gun, The Running Man, Highest 2 Lowest, and Bugonia. While 2026 will bring remakes of films like Moana, 2025 also saw announcements of even more remakes planned for future years.
