I recently got a peek at what Hoyoverse, the creators of popular games, has been working on for their new action RPG, Zenless Zone Zero. They showed off some gameplay of a new character, Ye Shun­guang, who’s unique because she can switch between two different fighting styles. But the really exciting part was getting a first look at a new group in the game called Angels of Delusion. They’re a pop idol faction with three heroines that have a cool sci-fi and fantasy vibe.

In the 2000s, viewers began to prefer realistic, character-focused dramas – a big change from shows like the sci-fi classic The X-Files. As television changed, the finale of The X-Files signaled the start of a new era in entertainment. It wasn’t the only show to experience this shift. Several series, which represented the last of their kind in terms of style and genre, ended around this time, and their conclusions highlighted a turning point for television.

According to What’s on Netflix, all remaining Star Trek shows and movies will be removed from Netflix worldwide on January 8, 2026. Netflix removed Trek content in the U.S. back in 2022, and this change will now affect all regions. U.S. fans can still watch Star Trek on Paramount+.

The movie Predators is having another moment with viewers, currently ranking as the fourth most-watched film on Paramount+ in the U.S. It’s proving more popular than other titles like Dear Santa, Top Gun: Maverick, American Made, Scrooged, Guns Up, and Fatman.

Die Hard is a fantastic action film, with a great story, perfect actors, and impressive scenes. Watching it every Christmas feels like catching up with an old friend. While some people prefer more heartwarming choices like It’s a Wonderful Life or the original Home Alone movies, Die Hard remains a classic.

The 2019 fantasy film was a big change of pace for director Guy Ritchie, known for his darker, more realistic movies. It was a live-action remake of the popular 1992 animated film and became a huge hit itself. However, six years later, Zootopia 2, released in 2025, has become an even bigger success, earning more money worldwide than the 2019 film, according to The Numbers.

Netflix prioritizes accurate captions for its movies and shows, and generally does a great job. However, one viewer recently pointed out a funny mistake on X (formerly Twitter). A miscaptioned line made it seem like detective Benoit Blanc said, “Telling the truth can be a belly rub,” completely changing the meaning of his statement.

While awards season officially kicks off with the fall film festivals like Venice, Telluride, and Toronto, several potential winners actually gained attention much earlier in the year. It shows how strong a film and its acting can be if it remains a topic of discussion even after the summer’s big blockbusters and the start of festival season. And, as always, there are a few surprises that emerge late in the race – including one we’re highlighting here.

Jennifer Aniston has always enjoyed spending time with her celebrity friends, like Kristin Bell and Jimmy Kimmel, and it seems her new partner, Chris Pratt, has quickly become popular with them too. Sources say he’s a great fit with her social circle, and December promises to be a special month for the couple.

Starting January 1, 2026, you’ll be able to watch Falling Skies on Netflix. This sci-fi series, which originally aired from 2011 to 2015 and was executive produced by Steven Spielberg and created by Robert Rodat, takes place after an alien invasion. It follows a group of people trying to survive and fight back in a world that’s been devastated.
