Jon Bernthal returning as the Punisher was exciting news for fans. He’s a popular, gritty character from Marvel comics, and many who enjoyed the Marvel shows on Netflix had been hoping to see him in the Daredevil: Born Again series. While a scene after the credits of the first season hinted at his return, Marvel Studios has now clarified that won’t happen in Born Again itself. Instead, Sana Amanat, an executive producer on Born Again, told Empire magazine that the post-credits scene actually sets up a separate special featuring Bernthal’s Punisher.

Though South Park can still offer insightful political humor and wonderfully silly moments, the show has transformed significantly over time. Episodes now often tell ongoing stories, are more explicit in their content, delve heavily into politics, and assume viewers are very familiar with current events. Some fans enjoy these changes, while others find them confusing, exhausting, or simply dislike them. However, everyone agrees that the show is quite different now than it used to be.

Among the items stolen was Reeves’ Rolex Submariner, an engraved watch worth at least $9,500. The FBI believes the robbery was committed by “South American Theft Groups” – criminal organizations that travel from South American countries to commit thefts in the U.S. and elsewhere. The stolen watches later appeared in Santiago, Chile, in December 2024.

Season 9 of 9-1-1 has reached its midseason break, meaning new episodes won’t air until 2026. After just six episodes, the season has seen significant developments for the characters at the 118, both in their personal lives and at work, though the pacing has been a little uneven. This season has covered a lot – from a failed space mission and a tragic incident at a medical spa, to the heartbreaking loss of Eddie’s grandmother.

The first season of the show featured actors Sean Bean, known for Game of Thrones, and Stephen Graham from Adolescence. The second season, written by Paul McGovern and Helen Black and directed by Andrea Harkin, added Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us), Tamara Lawrance (Get Millie Black), and Jodie Whittaker, who previously starred in Doctor Who.

With Pluribus, creator Gilligan moves beyond the world of Breaking Bad, though the story remains in Albuquerque. The show features Rhea Seehorn (from Better Call Saul) as Carol, a deeply unhappy woman who discovers she’s immune to an alien invasion. This invasion has turned the rest of humanity into a single, cheerful, and cooperative group. Pluribus premiered on November 7th with two episodes, quickly attracting over 6.4 million hours of viewership in its first week.

On her podcast, Good Hang with Amy Poehler, Amy Poehler chatted with Ariana Grande, who asked about a funny mistake from Poehler’s time on Saturday Night Live. Poehler recalled a sketch from 2005, called “Monkeys Throwing Poop At Celebrities,” and admitted that even after 20 years, the experience feels more upsetting than humorous. She then went on to describe what happened, saying:

Norman Reedus announced on X (formerly Twitter) that filming has wrapped on the fourth and final season of his show, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. AMC renewed the series for one last season back in July, and it’s expected to air in 2026. Reedus shared a photo of himself in character and posted, “Last filming day today for Daryl Dixon.”

Dad’s plan is to fly the family to London for Christmas and surprise his daughter.
