Netflix’s Stranger Things is a huge hit, with two of its seasons ranking among the most-watched English-language shows ever on the platform. Though the main series concluded with season 5 in December 2025, plans were quickly made to expand the Stranger Things universe with spinoff shows. The first of these spinoffs recently launched to great success worldwide. But now, shortly after this exciting return, another popular show is gaining attention.

HBO revealed the official trailer for House of the Dragon season 3 at CCXP Mexico City, and it’s now available for everyone to watch. The trailer confirms the season will premiere on June 21st. This new teaser follows one released in February and showcases the eagerly awaited Battle of the Gullet, along with other key moments. You can watch the official trailer below.

Paramount has dropped the trailer for Jackass: Best and Last, giving fans a preview of the final Jackass movie. The series, known for its outrageous stunts and pranks, started with the original Jackass TV show on MTV 26 years ago. It’s since expanded into a popular franchise with multiple movies and shows, all featuring daring and often painful performances. Now, the long-running series is concluding with this latest film.

The trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine briefly showed a heavily injured Deadpool being held by Thor, suggesting he might die. However, given the film’s overall plot and another cameo revealed in the trailer, this moment likely isn’t what it seems and raises more questions than answers.

The TV show Half Man is quickly gaining popularity, currently ranking as the 5th most-watched show on HBO Max, according to FlixPatrol. It’s right behind the Steve Carell comedy Rooster at number four. The top three spots are held by well-established hits: Euphoria is number one after the premiere of its third season, followed by The Pitt at number two, and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage – a spin-off of The Big Bang Theory – at number three.

Similar to shows like Silo, Fallout, and The Last of Us, Sweet Tooth creatively adapts its original story, offering a fresh and memorable experience. Premiering in 2021, shortly after the height of the global pandemic, the show felt particularly timely. It gave viewers a way to explore their shared anxieties and fears through a fantastical setting.

A lot of beloved detective characters and captivating mysteries first appeared in books, and then were adapted for television. The most successful TV murder mysteries stay true to what made the original stories so good, while also presenting interesting detectives – whether professionals or amateurs – in a way that works well on screen. These shows do just that, offering nearly flawless adaptations.

While Clayface feels different from other DC projects like Superman, Peacemaker, and Creature Commandos, it still exists within the same universe. However, how this project fits in could create problems for the future of the franchise. DC Studios needs to be cautious, or they risk damaging their new cinematic universe before it truly begins.

Reviews of Stranger Things: Tales from ’85 generally say it’s an enjoyable spin-off, though not always captivating, and it does have some plot problems. For example, the show changes established timelines. Also, a storyline about creatures from the Upside Down wasn’t ever part of the original series, creating another inconsistency. The events in this spin-off are surprisingly large in scope, with Eleven, Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Max battling numerous creatures, including a powerful ‘Queen Bee,’ and ultimately sealing a significant gateway to the Upside Down.

The success of The White Lotus comes from its constant tension and flawed characters, making it a tough act to follow. While not as sharply satirical, the new psychological thriller Summerwater, coming to AcornTV next month, explores similar themes. Instead of a fancy hotel, Summerwater is set in a gloomy holiday park in the Scottish countryside.
