Apple TV+’s new series Pluribus, created by Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn, initially drew a large audience, becoming the platform’s biggest debut since Severance in 2022. However, unlike Severance, which remains popular – currently ranking as the 10th most-watched show globally and 8th in the US – Pluribus quickly lost viewers after its final episode. It’s now no longer featured on either the global or US Top 10 lists. Silo experienced a similar decline earlier this year and is also missing from the charts. This has actually happened to Pluribus twice; it was briefly removed from the US Top 10 in March, though it later returned to briefly reach the 10th spot.

Ryan Coogler, the Academy Award-winning creator of Sinners, is set to completely reimagine The X-Files for Hulu. A pilot episode was officially greenlit in February. Though specific plot details are still secret, enough has been revealed about Coogler’s plans and his passion for the series to generate excitement among fans.

Okay, so season five of The Boys feels like the endgame – Homelander’s really cemented his power, and Butcher is laser-focused on wiping out all the Supes with that virus. While the finale promises to wrap things up for these characters, don’t think this is the last you’ll see of this world. Prime Video is already building a prequel, Vought Rising, and it’s got Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash on board, which is seriously exciting! It seems like they’re planning to expand the universe even after the main story concludes.

Dune: Prophecy is set incredibly far in the past – 10,000 years before Paul Atreides is even born – making it feel quite separate from the stories we already know. The war against artificial intelligence, which was only shown quickly in the show’s opening, would have actually been a more compelling story for a TV series.

I absolutely love Love on the Spectrum! It’s brought so much joy to me and so many others. Both the Australian and U.S. versions are wonderful, and getting to know people like Connor, Tanner, and Abbey has been amazing. It’s heartwarming to watch them navigate dating and search for love, but I also really appreciate how the show gives us a glimpse into their everyday lives and the support of their families.

Even though it faced competition from big-budget movies in 2025, this film adaptation of Denis Johnson’s story stands out as a deeply moving and important work in the modern Western genre. What makes Train Dreams special is its focus on loss and innocence, avoiding typical Western action. The movie delivers a level of emotional honesty rarely seen in grand historical dramas.

Bob Gale, the co-creator of Back to the Future along with director Robert Zemeckis, has definitively stated that Back to the Future 4 will not happen. In a recent interview, Gale explained that he and Zemeckis have felt this way since Back to the Future Part III came out in 1990. They believe the story reached a natural conclusion with the third film, and Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson’s diagnosis further solidified that decision.

Shows like The Shield and The Wire revolutionized police dramas, portraying detectives as much more complex and morally ambiguous characters. This trend blurred the lines between law enforcement and criminals, leading some shows, such as Low Winter Sun, to be criticized for depicting detectives as truly villainous. However, the first season of True Detective in 2014 was widely acclaimed for striking a perfect balance in its portrayal of flawed, yet compelling, officers.

As a long-time fan, I’ve been watching NCIS since it started back in 2003, and it’s definitely changed a lot over the years! When Mark Harmon’s Gibbs retired during season 19, it felt like a real turning point. The show had to figure out who it was without him, and it’s been a bit of a bumpy ride since then – ratings dipped for a while. But lately, it seems like things are really turning around, and the show is finding its footing again as we head into the 2025-2026 season.

With the Winter 2026 anime season ending, so did the latest installment of the Trigun story, and it’s likely fans won’t see anything new from the series for quite some time. Sadly, the final episode of Trigun Stargaze left many viewers disappointed – a feeling that had been building throughout the season.
