In 2024 and continuing into 2025, Bluey was the most-streamed TV series. A recent Nielsen report shows the Disney+ animated show reached over 45 billion minutes of viewing time, surpassing even popular Netflix titles. Stranger Things logged just over 39 billion minutes, while Grey’s Anatomy actually exceeded it with over 40 billion. With an animated spin-off planned for Stranger Things this year, it remains to be seen if the franchise can challenge Bluey‘s dominance in 2026.

This is especially true for the Watch Dogs series, which aimed to compete with Rockstar’s popular GTA games while also bringing fresh ideas to open-world adventures. Ubisoft’s efforts to create something unique were often successful, but the series always felt like it was still developing. Unfortunately, if recent rumors are correct, Ubisoft has now cancelled the Watch Dogs franchise, meaning it likely won’t reach its full potential.

Popular superhero shows often explain their fantastical elements with science – things like advanced technology, lab mishaps, or genetic changes. Other shows, however, lean into magic, natural superpowers, and supernatural dangers more commonly seen in fantasy stories. Luckily, for viewers who enjoy when superheroes and the mystical world collide, there’s been a growing number of highly enjoyable shows to rewatch in recent years.

As you might remember, our publisher has a long-standing tradition of hosting a design contest for one of the game’s bosses.

Uncle Leo is that relative who always wants to talk – for a long time. But if you try to politely end the conversation, he’ll make you feel like you’re being impolite. This habit, it turns out, started with something called a “Pony Remark.”

I’m really excited about this new show! They’re not giving away much about the plot yet, but apparently, Lindelof is approaching it like he did with Watchmen. It won’t be a direct copy of the book, but more of a deeper dive into the story and characters. Knowing McKinty’s work, which is seriously dark and twisty, that’s a pretty bold move, but I’m intrigued to see where he takes it!

The studio seems to be aiming to handle publishing itself, wanting quicker decisions, easier communication, and more influence over how players experience their games. While the full impact of this change isn’t clear yet, it’s been reported that the planned team-up for the delayed Hitman project is now off the table.

Beyond just being a long series, The Stormlight Archive has a grand, complex story with many characters and interwoven plots. Sanderson has created a remarkably detailed world, complete with a fascinating setting and intricate magic systems. Considering the sheer size of the books, a TV series seems like the only way to adapt it successfully. But, I believe there’s one more crucial element needed to really bring it to life on screen.

Tubi has a lot of new content coming in February! Fans can enjoy shows like Marvel’s Runaways and all the movies from the popular Taken series starring Liam Neeson. Plus, Tubi is releasing original shows, including a romantic option called Kissing Is the Easy Part, perfect for Valentine’s Day. See everything that’s new on Tubi next month below.

I’ve noticed something really interesting about anime made for gamers. The humor often hits just right because it plays on those little things we all experience in games. Like, when a player manages to completely break a game with a crazy character build or finds a way to exploit something unintended – it’s incredibly satisfying, and we totally get it. It’s that same feeling you have when a developer tries to ‘fix’ your favorite character and ends up making things even more chaotic. That sweet spot between skillful play and delightful mayhem seems to be a key ingredient in these shows.
