As a huge fantasy fan, I’m really excited about Sanderson’s work. It’s got everything – incredible, windswept worlds, stories that feel ancient, and a magic system that actually makes sense. That’s already a big deal. But what really gets me thinking is how this could be something huge, like Game of Thrones was. If the adaptation can capture what made that show so popular before the dragons even showed up, we’re in for something special.

As of February 7, 2026, the miniseries The Continental is currently the #3 most popular TV show on iTunes in the United States, according to FlixPatrol. It quickly rose to that spot on February 4, right when a new weekly sale began. The series is available to purchase for a limited time at $4.99, but the price will likely return to its regular $19.99 at the end of the week, so fans of John Wick should buy it soon to take advantage of the discount.

Godzilla proved himself as the most powerful titan, but his reign was challenged by King Kong in the movie Godzilla vs. Kong. Despite initially fighting each other, they eventually joined forces to defeat Mechagodzilla. This partnership continued in 2024’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

According to FlixPatrol, the 2000 comedy Best in Show is currently a hit on HBO Max, landing at number 4 on the Top 10 Movies list in the US as of February 7, 2026. This is the first time the film has appeared on the charts, showing its enduring appeal even after 26 years. The movie stars Catherine O’Hara and Eugene Levy as a couple who travel to Philadelphia to compete in a high-stakes dog show.

As a movie critic, I’ve been following the Voltron film closely, and it’s a relief to finally have some solid news. For a while, there were whispers that it might skip theaters and head straight to streaming, but this recent update feels like a real step forward – the first one in a while, actually.

Apple TV+ offers compelling science fiction series that explore thought-provoking ideas with well-developed characters, surprising plot twists, and stunning visual effects. Shows like Monarch: Legacy of Monsters boast such high-quality effects that they rival big-budget monster movies. However, a lesser-known series delivers the same impressive qualities as Apple TV+’s more popular sci-fi offerings.

Filming for Man of Tomorrow is expected to begin soon, and Nicholas Hoult is already getting in shape to reprise his role as Lex Luthor. Trainer Paolo Mascitti recently posted a video on Instagram showing Hoult’s intense workout routine and impressive physical transformation for the DC Universe.

Now that Harry Potter is coming to television, the success of Game of Thrones offers a valuable blueprint. While both are fantasy series, Harry Potter generally appeals to a broader audience. Game of Thrones stood out for its high production value and immersive world, and HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series seems to be taking those elements into account – a promising sign for its future.

In early 2026, Apple significantly entered the fantasy market by partnering with author Brandon Sanderson. This led many industry experts to believe the streaming service could dominate fantasy storytelling, much like it did with science fiction – a very promising sign for fans, considering the consistent success fantasy has brought to networks like HBO and Disney.

Apple TV was known for its excellent science fiction programming, but the premiere of Pluribus in late 2025 truly cemented its position as the top streaming service in the genre. The show received almost universally positive reviews and quickly became Apple TV’s most popular program, breaking all previous viewership records. Its creator, Vince Gilligan, secured a renewal for a second season even before the first season had finished airing.
