Just under a year after its hugely popular first season, The Pitt is returning to HBO Max. The critically acclaimed medical drama will premiere its second season on January 8th at 9 p.m. Eastern Time. Each season follows a single 15-hour shift at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, focusing on the doctors and nurses in the emergency room. New episodes of The Pitt Season 2, which begin 10 months after the end of Season 1, will be released weekly on Thursdays on HBO Max, with the season concluding on April 16th.

During a panel at last year’s New York Comic Con, the creator of Batwheels revealed some exciting news about the show’s future. Simon J. Smith, the executive producer, confirmed that the animated series will feature Professor Zoom, a notorious villain from The Flash, in its current third season. The show premiered on HBO Max late last year, and more episodes are planned for 2026. Zoom’s appearance will be a major ten-episode arc. While this version of the character won’t be as grim as some others, he’s expected to create plenty of trouble in Gotham.

The film Man on Fire, directed by Tony Scott, received mixed reviews when it first came out. However, it’s proven popular with viewers on Netflix, suggesting its action-packed style still resonates with audiences.

Netflix recently announced its January updates, and fans of Prison Break should take note: all five seasons will be removed from the streaming service on January 29th.

The first book comes out this Friday, and the remaining 12 will be released weekly over the next three months. This new format aims to make the manga easier and cheaper to read. Currently, these editions are only available in Japanese for fans outside of Japan.

Despite all the grandeur and visual excitement, early trailers for The Odyssey reveal a core story that’s familiar to fans of Christopher Nolan’s work: the film will explore a theme he frequently uses.

As a total movie fanatic, I was thrilled to see the nominations for this year’s Actors Awards (formerly the SAG Awards) drop, and wow – Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another absolutely crushed it! Seven nominations is incredible – it’s actually a record! Apparently, Shakespeare in Love held the previous record with five, and a few other films had tied that, but One Battle After Another blew that out of the water. Sinners was poised to tie the old record, but Anderson’s film took the crown. Here’s a breakdown of all the nominations One Battle After Another snagged:

The game will be released on PlayStation on February 6th, bringing its anime-style street racing to players. (And yes, it’s 2026, and we still jokingly refer to PlayStation fans as the ‘PlayStation Nation’!)

According to Variety, the popular animated series Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir is getting a stage adaptation next year. While details about the plot are still limited, Miraculous Corp has confirmed it will be a brand new story for the series. The show promises a visually exciting experience with a combination of acrobatics, aerial work, illusions, dance, and puppetry, plus interactive elements using video. Martin Lord Ferguson and Ella Louise Allaire, who previously worked on shows like Scooby-Doo! and The Lost City of Gold and Ice Age! A Mammoth Adventure, are bringing the production to life.

However, the new series, His & Hers, is particularly noteworthy. Released on January 8, 2026, this thriller features Jon Bernthal (known from The Walking Dead and The Punisher) and Tessa Thompson (Creed, Thor: Ragnarok) adapting Alice Feeney’s novel.
