4 Best Thrillers on Netflix and More, Ranked by RT (May 2026)
If you’re looking for thrillers to watch in May, the most exciting options aren’t streaming in the same place.
It may not seem very enticing to subscribe to so many streamers, but there’s almost always a better chance of finding something you’ll love if you do.
Watch With Us has narrowed down this month’s choices to the four best thrillers on Netflix, Prime Video and Apple TV, as ranked by Rotten Tomatoes.
Our picks include a survival thriller and three crime thrillers that gradually get more and more serious about their subject matter.
4. ‘Beast’ (2022)
There’s nothing quite like a family trip to bring people together, at least that’s what Dr. Nate Samuels (Idris Elba) was hoping for when he dragged his daughters, Meredith (Iyana Halley) and Norah (Leah Sava Jeffries), to Africa to reconnect with the roots of their late mother and catch up with a family friend, Martin Battles (Sharlto Copley).
In a colossal case of bad timing, Nate and his daughters arrive when there’s a man-killing lion on the loose in Martin’s animal preserve. This creature is vicious and cunning, and Nate has to find some way to overcome it, or else there won’t be anyone left to bury him or his family when the lion comes for them.
Beast is streaming on Netflix.
3. ‘Highest 2 Lowest’ (2025)
Director Spike Lee and Denzel Washington reunited for the crime thriller Highest 2 Lowest, which had a brief theatrical release last year. Washington plays David King, one of the founders of Stackin’ Hits Records and an icon in the industry. King sold his majority share years ago, but he liquidates most of his assets in the present to get it back. Yet on the day he’s set to go through with the deal, kidnappers target his son, Trey (Aubrey Joseph). and demand a ransom that may scuttle King’s dream of reclaiming his company.
The good news is that the kidnappers made a mistake. Instead of Trey, they took his best friend, Kyle Christopher (Elijah Wright), who also happens to be the son of King’s longtime driver and friend, Paul Christopher (Jeffrey Wright). The thieves still want their multi-million ransom, but suddenly King doesn’t feel as obligated to pay. That hesitation may cost King more than just money.
Highest 2 Lowest is streaming on Apple TV.
2. ‘Caught Stealing’ (2025)
Darren Aronofsky‘s latest film, Caught Stealing, doubles as a dark comedy and a crime thriller. But Hank Thompson (Austin Butler) isn’t laughing at all of the misery that comes into his life because of his neighbor, Russ Miner (Matt Smith). The only thing Hank agreed to do was to look after Russ’ cat while he was out of town. Unfortunately for Hank, that made him a target for mobsters who came looking for Russ.
Hank and his girlfriend, Yvonne (Zoë Kravitz), don’t realize the world of hurt that they’re in for, or the high price they’ll pay as it becomes apparent why everyone in the criminal underworld is looking for Russ. There’s a lot of money at stake, and Hank may not have anyone left he can trust, especially when even a corrupt cop, Detective Elise Roman (Regina King), is also looking for Russ’ stash.
Caught Stealing is streaming on Netflix.
1. ‘Crime 101’ (2026)
Crime 101 features Chris Hemsworth as Mike, an exceptional jewel thief who meticulously plans his crimes to ensure that no one gets hurt while also giving himself a clean getaway. However, Mike’s latest theft went so badly that he’s shaken and unwilling to commit to any further heists. That leads his fence, Money (Nick Nolte), to go behind Mike’s back and hire a psychopath, Ormon (Barry Keoghan), to finish Mike’s job.
As Mike tries to form a romantic bond with a woman named Maya (Monica Barbaro), a relentless cop, Detective Lou Lubesnick (Mark Ruffalo), is closing in on him. Meanwhile, an insurance broker, Sharon Combs (Halle Berry), is drawn into Mike’s orbit because he needs her help. But there’s no guarantee they can trust each other.

This Tropical-Like Maxi Dress Got Me 15+ Compliments in 1 Night

Truth be told, I love traveling and I love weddings, so when I had a destination wedding on my calendar, I was pretty ecstatic. In addition to snapping up my bridesmaid’s dress, I also did a massive fashion haul, sourcing items that matched the lush, tropical vibe of Colombia. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed when I stumbled upon this surprisingly chic, tropical-inspired dress from Abercrombie & Fitch.
I initially spotted it in green, but was blown away after seeing the A&F maxi dress in a gorgeous exotic-looking pattern that’s made up of pinks, oranges, purples, blues and greens. The dress literally gives off tropical drink vibes in dress form, and I instantly had to have it. Due to the colorful hues, lightweight feel and flattering fit, I felt like an actual princess. The dress boosted my confidence the moment I slipped it on my body, and it just got better and better with every compliment I received.
I donned the maxi dress at the welcome party and got over 15 compliments (yes, I counted) from guests commenting on how pretty the dress is, and several even asked where I got it. Spoiler alert: The maxi is from Abercrombie, and it’s currently on sale this weekend!
Get the Giselle Hardware Flowy Maxi Dress for $90 (was $150) at Abercrombie & Fitch! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.
The Giselle Hardware Flowy Maxi Dress is the one dress you’ll want to have in your closet for destination weddings, fancy date nights and beyond. Honestly, I didn’t expect to garner such praise over a dress, but it just confirmed that I made the right choice in packing this little number in my suitcase.
In addition to the beautiful pink design, the dress stands out for its simple yet luxe-looking accents. The pleated ripple texture draws the eye in, especially when you walk. I also really like the gold U-ring decoration at the neckline that gives the dress a high-end appearance while also subtly showing a little extra skin.
The loose, trapeze silhouette may feel intimidating, but I promise that it’s actually a huge selling point. The unpredictable, tropical weather couldn’t hold a flame to this dress; the fit allowed air to breeze through and it lightly skimmed my body. I could walk, sit and dance without worry. Oh, and the bra-free design allowed me to forgo my usual strapless bra, and yet, I still felt covered and supported.
Despite the long maxi design, petite girls can also sport the dress! As someone who is 5’2″, I know the struggle of finding long dresses that don’t overwhelm my frame, but this one actually hits the sweet spot. It’s available in regular, tall and petite lengths, so naturally I chose the latter. And when I paired it with platform sandals, the dress looked like a true maxi, which rarely happens.
The fabric is just as lovely, providing a sheen appeal due to the satiny material. With all these factors, it’s no wonder several people who complimented the dress were shocked I got it at a mall brand.
If I could get the Giselle maxi dress again, I totally would. It’s breezy, stunning and compliment-worthy. And right now, you can get it on sale with an extra 20% off when you add it to your cart. Lucky you!

Claire Kittle Has Wardrobe Mishap Before Taylor Swift Wedding
Just before Claire Kittle attended Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s star-studded wedding, she faced an unexpected wardrobe malfunction.
“[Kristin Juszczyk] saved me again,” Kittle, 32, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, July 4, sharing a photo of the fashion designer, 32, stitching her blue gown ahead of the celebratory event.
Kittle and Juszczyk were among the celebrity guests at Swift and Kelce’s Friday, July 3, nuptials at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City. The two San Francisco 49ers wives attended the ceremony alongside their respective NFL husbands, George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk.
Kristin donned a royal blue satin corset dress that flowed into a color-blocked black bubble skirt with a tangle of diamond necklaces, while Claire chose a pastel blue sheath with a bedazzled illusion neckline.
The zipper on Claire’s dress, however, hit a snag just moments before Swift and Kelce, both 36, were scheduled to walk down the aisle.
“Had to cut the lining in my dress,” Claire explained via her Stories. “The zipper was stuck.”
Kristin reposted Claire’s upload to her Stories, writing, “I was sewing all night” alongside a pair of laughing emojis.
Kristin, who founded the NFL-themed fashion label Off-Season, was quick to fix Claire’s dress in time for the ceremony, when — and while surrounded by approximately 1,000 guests — Swift and Kelce said “I do.”

“The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the bride and groom,” a rep for Swift said via press release. “This is the designer’s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity. [Both of] their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.”
Swift’s spokesperson further revealed that the newlyweds opted against a traditional bridal party.
“Her brother, Austin Swift, served as Taylor’s Man of Honor and Jason Kelce was Travis’ Best Man,” the statement added. “The ceremony joined both families together and was officiated by friend Adam Sandler.”

Selena Gomez Glitters in Gold at Taylor Swift’s Wedding
Selena Gomez glittered in gold while attending her best friend Taylor Swift’s highly-anticipated and star-studded wedding to Travis Kelce.
Gomez, 33, stunned in a fitted, curve-hugging beaded Oscar de la Renta gown for the newlyweds’ Friday, July 3, wedding inside New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden arena. The Only Murders in the Building star completed her ensemble with a pair of diamond rings.
For glam, Gomez sported rosy eyeshadow and lipstick, which her hair was slicked back into an Old Hollywood-style bob.
Gomez watched Swift and Kelce, both 36, say “I do” beside her husband, music producer Benny Blanco, who looked dapper in classic tuxedo with a bowtie.
Blanco, 38, wore another tux for Swift and Kelce’s rehearsal dinner on Thursday, July 2, while Gomez chose a strapless Oscar de la Renta gown for the occasion. The singer paired her black frock with a pair of Jimmy Choo stilettos, Fernando Jorge earrings and a custom Grown Brilliance diamond ring.
Gomez has been close to Swift since 2008, when the pair first bonded during their respective teen relationships with brothers Nick Jonas and Joe Jonas. Swift even attended Gomez’s wedding to Blanco in September 2025, where she wore a gold Oscar de la Renta gown of her own.
For her big day on the eve of the country’s 250th birthday celebration, Swift opted for a bespoke Dior Couture gown.
“The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom,” a press release shared with Us Weekly read. “This is the designer’s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity. Their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.”
Swift and Kelce, 36, exchanged vows in front of upwards of 1,000 loved ones, including Gomez, Blanco, Bradley Cooper, Jessica Alba, George Kittle and Miranda Lambert.

This Electric Toothbrush Removed 15x More Plaque Than a Manual Brush
Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships. We receive compensation when you click on a link and make a purchase. Learn more!
If you’ve spent the last decade getting serious about what you eat, how you train, and which supplements actually have data behind them, there’s a piece of your daily routine that probably hasn’t kept up: the toothbrush in your bathroom. An electric toothbrush is one of the more well-studied upgrades you can make to a daily health habit — and the clinical data behind it is harder to ignore once you’ve seen it.
A 2025 YouGov survey found that 64% of Americans are still using a manual toothbrush. Only 31% have moved to powered. That’s a striking gap given what we now know about oral health. The case for upgrading to a quality electric toothbrush is stronger than ever, and ARU is making it with clinical data behind it.
What the Research Says About Manual Brushing
The case against manual brushing isn’t aesthetic, it’s mechanical. Four problems show up consistently:
- Manual brushes are less effective at removing plaque along the gumline and between teeth — the exact zones where gum disease starts.
- Most people brush too aggressively, which causes gum recession and enamel wear over time. Manual brushes don’t offer any feedback to stop you.
- The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends two minutes of brushing. Most people fall well short, and a manual brush has no way to tell you so.
- Manual brushing relies entirely on technique — angle, pressure, coverage, duration — which tends to be inconsistent brush to brush.
You can clean your teeth effectively with a manual brush. The point is that the best electric toothbrushes remove the guesswork, which matters when you’re optimizing for long-term oral health rather than just getting through the morning routine.
What’s Unique About ARU’s Electric Toothbrush
ARU is a sonic toothbrush built to deliver a clinical-grade clean without the gum trauma that often comes with manual brushing. The mechanism matters: sonic vibrations break up plaque along the gumline and between teeth — the regions where manual technique most reliably fails.
What the brush adds beyond mechanism: a two-minute timer with a 30-second quadrant pulse, three modes and three intensities, and the option to dial pressure down for sensitivity or up for a deeper clean. Pressure becomes a setting, not a guess.
As a rechargeable electric toothbrush, ARU runs for 45 days or more on a single charge and uses wireless charging when you do need to top it off. That’s a meaningful upgrade from brushes that need a weekly trip to the charging cradle.
The Clinical Trial Behind the ARU Toothbrush
A 28-day clinical trial conducted by Ashtel Studios split 62 participants between ARU and an ADA-accepted manual toothbrush, with both groups brushing twice daily for two minutes. The aru toothbrush outperformed manual across every measure.
- 15x more plaque removed than a manual toothbrush
- 9x more plaque removed in a single use
- 74% reduction in gum bleeding
- 46% improvement in overall gingival health
- 93% of gums classified as healthy after one month
- 140% improvement in plaque removal in hard-to-reach areas
- Safe for sensitive teeth and gums without irritation
A separate independent study of 140 participants over 35 days found that 91% of users would recommend ARU.
What’s in the ARU Toothbrush Starter Kit
The ARU Starter Kit ships with the sonic handle, one brush head, a wireless charging base, a USB cable with wall adapter, a magnetic mirror mount, a travel case and a travel handle protector. It’s a complete setup with nothing sold separately, which matters if you’ve ever bought an electric brush and discovered the travel case costs another $40.
Why ARU’s Toothbrush Heads Matter
The electric toothbrush heads are doing most of the actual cleaning, and ARU’s are designed differently than most. Ultra-soft tapered bristles clean along the gumline without abrading it, and they’re 20x slimmer than standard bristles, so they reach between teeth and below the gumline. A hexagonal bristle pattern improves coverage per stroke, and a metal-free core avoids the corrosion you’ll see with heads that use metal anchors over time.
ARU recommends swapping heads every three months, in line with ADA guidance. That matters because worn bristles clean less effectively and old heads accumulate bacteria. A refill subscription ships a new head every quarter at a 20% discount, plus a lifetime warranty on the handle.
The 7-Day Challenge Your Smile Has Been Waiting For
ARU’s 7-Day Challenge is a fair way to evaluate it: brush with ARU for a week, then on day 8, switch back to your old brush for one session. The contrast is the data point. Most people notice immediately — the smoothness of their teeth, the absence of low-grade gum sensitivity they’d accepted as baseline.
The 30-day money-back guarantee removes the financial argument against trying it. The clinical data removes the evidentiary one. What’s left is whether your oral care routine deserves the same scrutiny you’ve applied to the rest of your health.

Apple TV’s Forgotten 2-Part Mystery Is Quietly One of Its Most Binge-Worthy Shows
Apple TV has become one of the most impressive streamers, offering a slew of fantastic television shows. Its tentpole series, such as Severance and Ted Lasso, have inspired the biggest fan followings, but there are also the shows that tend to fly under the radar. Series like Bad Sisters and Pachinko are every bit as worthy of a binge-watch, even if they didn’t receive as much fanfare when they were airing. Alongside these high-quality titles is a mystery series that may not have drummed up a lot of buzz, but should be added to your must-watch list now.
What Is ‘Home Before Dark’ About?
Home Before Dark, executive produced by Wicked director Jon M. Chu, is a two-season drama that aired on Apple TV from 2020 to 2021. Over 20 episodes of twisty storytelling, the show follows a nine-year-old girl named Hilde Lisko (Brooklynn Prince) who moves from New York City to her father’s hometown of Erie Harbor, Washington. With her quirky, unique personality, Hilde struggles to fit in at school, while her older sister, Izzy (Kylie Rogers), seems much more likely to be accepted by the popular kids. Hilde is also seen as different from her classmates because she thinks of herself as a journalist, even at her young age, and tends to get in trouble for her inquisitive tendencies.
Jon M. Chu & Dana Fox on ‘Home Before Dark’s Universal Appeal & Season 2 Plans
Plus, the pair open up about series star Brooklynn Prince’s talent and Chu details how this show let him go in some new creative directions.
Shortly after arriving in Erie Harbor, Hilde starts a self-published newspaper called The Magic Hour Chronicle. During her reporting, she stumbles upon a mystery that has haunted the town for decades. Hilde starts investigating the kidnapping of a young boy named Richie Fife, but quickly discovers that there’s a mysterious cover-up connected to his disappearance. In Season 2, even more of the sinister cover-up is exposed, and Hilde makes some powerful enemies. Each episode is full of complex puzzles that unfold as Hilde investigates the mystery further.
‘Home Before Dark’ Will Draw You In With Its Intriguing Mystery
One of the great things about Home Before Dark is that it’s family-friendly, since its protagonist is a young girl, but the series is just as watchable for adults. The storytelling is suspenseful, and Hilde’s storyline doesn’t feel schmaltzy or too juvenile. Instead, the show captures the pangs of growing as well as the beauty of searching for truth and justice. Hilde’s journey is inspiring because she doesn’t let her age or any obstacles stand in the way of her goal. Home Before Dark‘s mystical cinematography and setting are another reason to watch, with the town’s eerie fog acting as a haunting veil that further masks its darkest secrets.
Home Before Dark could have run the risk of feeling unsophisticated, but by casting Prince in the lead, the series morphs into a moving, deeply emotional story. Prince was first discovered in her breakout role as a small child in The Florida Project, and she continues to show her range and immense gifts here. Jibrail Nantambu and Deric McCabe play fantastic sidekicks to Hilde, without being cloying or silly. The adult actors also serve as grounding presences; Jim Sturgess, who plays Hilde’s supportive father, and Joelle Carter, as Hilde’s embattled school principal, are particularly compelling.
Home Before Dark was never officially cancelled, but no new episodes were ordered after Season 2 was completed. Much of the reason it flew under the radar is likely because it aired right in the middle of the pandemic, which also briefly halted the production of the second season. There might be flashier shows on Apple TV to binge, but this drama is quietly unique, with an eerie setting and a mix of thrilling mysteries and heartwarming coming-of-age themes.

Apple TV Made Sci-Fi Essential Again With This 3-Part Modern Masterpiece
Apple TV has stumbled into some massive success stories in the sci-fi genre in recent years, but the show that topped all others was Pluribus. Hailing from iconic TV scribe Vince Gilligan, famed for his work penning Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, Pluribus shattered records on its way to becoming the most-watched Apple TV sci-fi show of all time. Apple TV also has another sci-fi thriller dominating streaming right now in Silo, the dystopian series led by Rebecca Ferguson returning for its third season. Fans have little to worry about regarding the future of Silo, too, as the show has not only been picked up for Season 4, but the fourth and final season was shot back-to-back with the third. This should eliminate another two-year gap between seasons, all but assuring that Silo Season 4 will air in 2027.
To reach the pinnacle of Apple TV sci-fi streaming greatness, Pluribus had to pass Severance, the platform’s original sci-fi crown jewel. The first season of Severance dropped all the way back in 2022, but due to COVID-19 restrictions and the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, it took over three full years for Severance to come back for Season 2. The show has been officially picked up for Season 3 — Apple TV made the announcement on the same day as the Season 2 finale — but it’s still unclear when it will return to streaming. Before its return, the show holds its status as one of the top 10 most-watched series’ on Apple TV, currently sitting at #8 on watchlists at the time of writing. The series was written and created for TV by Dan Erickson and directed by Ben Stiller.
When Does ‘Severance’ Season 3 Start Filming?
Production on Severance Season 3 is expected to begin any day now, but the show takes a long time to film, so it could easily be shooting through the end of this year. Around the time that Severance was renewed for Season 3, Ben Stiller promised that the wait would be less than that of Season 2. Leading star Adam Scott recently softened his stance on this, saying that everyone involved in making Severance would rather take longer to deliver a final product worth its name than rush into it and fall short of high expectations.
Check out the first two seasons of Severance on Apple TV and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Season 3.

Jessica Alba, Danny Ramirez Show PDA at Swift, Kelce Wedding
Jessica Alba and boyfriend Danny Ramirez were feeling the love while attending Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s star-studded wedding at Madison Square Garden.
“We love love,” Alba, 45, captioned a post shared via Instagram on Saturday, July 4, showcasing some behind-the-scenes moments featuring the actress preparing for the singer and NFL star’s Friday, July 3, nuptials at the iconic New York City venue.
“Congrats to T&T — such a beautiful night celebrating you,” Alba continued.
In the post, Alba shared a before-and-after video featuring the couple preparing for the wedding festivities. Initially, the camera showed alba in an oversized zip-up hoodie, wearing a towel around her head and under-eye treatment masks as her boyfriend, 33, stands behind her in a t-shirt, giving her a kiss.
The camera pans down, then pans back up to reveal the couple’s wedding attire. The video continues to show Ramirez kissing Alba, first on the cheek before the pair keep kissing until they finally kiss on the lips.

Alba shared additional photos showing her show-stopping look, which featured a black, plunging top and a golden sequenced bottom. Ramirez, for his part, looked dapper in a quintessential black-and-white tax featuring a black tie.
Us Weekly exclusively confirmed back in July 2025 that Alba and Ramirez were dating amid her divorce from Cash Warren.
“They were friends before it turned romantic,” the insider shared at the time, adding that the Marvel actor and Alba have “a lot of mutual friends,” including the Honest Company cofounder’s longtime best friend Eva Longoria.
“Jessica is still keeping things casual,” the source added at the time.
After a trip to Cancun, Mexico, the pair were spotted boarding a flight home to Los Angeles in July 2025 wearing baseball caps and sunglasses.
“She is having a lot of fun in this new era. It’s not serious, but she is enjoying time with him,” the source continued to Us at the time, adding that the Honey star wasn’t “interested” in introducing her and Warren’s three children — Honor, Haven and Hayes — to Ramirez at the time.
Swift and Kelce, for their part, officially became husband and wife on Friday after exchanging vows in front of a reported 1,000 of their closest friends and family members.
“The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Huate Coutour,” a press released shared by Swift’s rep shortly after the pair wed revealed. “They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior’s Women’s, Men’s and Haute Coutoure Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom. This is the designer’s fist couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity. Their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.”
The release continued, “Taylor and Travis did not have bridesmaids or groomsmen. Instead, her brother Austin Swift served as Taylor’s Man of Honor and Jason Kelce was Travis’ Best Man. The ceremony joined both families together and was officiated by friend Adam Sandler.”

Sharon Osbourne Marks 1st Anniversary Since Ozzy’s Death
Sharon Osbourne is marking the first wedding anniversary without her husband, the late Ozzy Osbourne, following the iconic rocker’s death at age 76.
“Today would have been our 46th wedding anniversary,” she wrote via Instagram on Saturday, July 4, alongside a close-up photo of the couple holding hands. “Instead, it is a celebration of a love that even death could not diminish. I miss your hand in mine, but I carry your love with me every step of the way.”
The widow concluded her heartfelt message, writing, “Forever my husband. Forever my heart.”
Ozzy died on July 22, 2025, following a public battle with Parkinson’s disease. (Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological disorder that occurs when nerve cells in the brain die, causing a severe drop in dopamine that can lead to movement and non-motor issues.)
“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” the Osbourne family announced at the time via a written statement to Us Weekly. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”
The legendary rocker died just weeks after the couple celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary — one day before Ozzy took the stage for the final time alongside his Black Sabbath bandmates on July 5, 2025.
Sharon broke her silence on her husband’s death in September of that same year, detailing how she was navigating the grieving process. (The former couple, who married on July 4, 1982, shared daughters Aimee, Kelly and son Jack. Ozzy was also dad to daughter Jessica and son Louis with ex-wife Thelma Riley.)
“I’m still having trouble finding the words to express how grateful I am for the overwhelming love and support you’ve shown on social media. Your comments, posts and tributes have brought me more comfort than you know,” Sharon wrote via Instagram on September 12, 2025, alongside a video featuring the widow and Kelly spending time with an owl.
“Though I’m still finding my footing, I wanted to share some glorious creatures I had the chance to spend an afternoon with,” she continued in the post. “The connection you make with these powerful birds is built entirely on trust and confidence. They’ll choose to perch on you only if they sense you are safe and unafraid of them. It’s a bond I know all too well, and the experience was nothing short of magical.”
Sharon concluded, “I love you all, and I thank you deeply for the otherworldly amount of love you continue to send my way.”

Lionel Richie Shares Health Update After Postponing Shows
Lionel Richie has returned to the stage and is sharing a hopeful — albeit quick — update on his health after cancelling two shows amid a battle with an unspecified type of illness.
“Thank you for every message, every kind word, and for all your love,” Richie, 77, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, July 4, sharing numerous photos featuring the iconic singer performing on stage. “I’m doing well, and I’m grateful for all of you.”
He continued, “Pittsburgh and Detroit were an absolute joy. The energy, the dancing, the faces in the crowd… we made real memories together. See you in Toronto… let’s party all night long.”
Late last month, Richie postponed two of his Sing a Song All Night Long Tour shows in Illinois and Ohio after he was forced to cut the opening night of his tour short due to illness.
“Under advisement by doctors to rest and return to full health, Lionel Richie has postponed his show on Friday, June 26, in Chicago, IL, and Saturday, June 27, in Columbus, OH,” a statement shared via the Live Nation Chicago and the United Center in Chicago’s official instagram accounts on June 25 read. “He and Earth, Wind & Fire will return to the stage on Tuesday, June 30, in Pittsburgh, PA. Lionel is heartbroken to postpone these two shows and cannot wait to be back to performing for his fans.”
The statement concluded at the time, “We apologize for any inconvenience this causes fans who have tickets for these two shows. Rescheduled dates will be announced soon.”
Richie has yet to publicly release any additional information regarding his illness, including any diagnosis or treatment he received. According to the Minnesota Star Tribune, the singer was performing on stage in St. Paul, Minnesota, on June 24 when he started feeling dizzy and stopped the set just under an hour into his tour’s opening night performance.
Richie was singing “Dancing on the Ceiling” while he was forced to take a seat. According to the local news outlet, Richie then left the stage and, 40 minutes later, the singer’s saxophonist Dino Soldo returned to the stage to give fans an unfortunate update.
“Unfortunately, Lionel is not feeling well,” the performer told the crowd at the time. “He won’t be able to continue. Additional information will be available.”
Us Weekly reached out to representatives for Richie at the time for comment, but did not hear back.

‘Cross’ Fans Can’t Miss Aldis Hodge’s 2025 Gem Streaming This Month
Simply one of the best shows on streaming, Cross, the Aldis Hodge-led detective series on Prime Video, instantly became one of the streamer’s finest products when it debuted in late 2024. In 2025, the show was absent, and its presence was certainly missing from the streaming rotation, which is why its return earlier this year for a pulsating Season 2 that features Matthew Lillard in a key role proved even more popular. Recently, it was announced that the upcoming third season had added the great Ron Perlman to the cast as Herschel Zamora, a police officer who is referred to Dr. Cross for therapy.
Hodge once again was note perfect in Cross Season 2, with Collider’s Nate Richard praising his performance, commending the actor for “showing off his unmatched charisma, vulnerabilities, and, of course, kick-ass stunt abilities” in every episode. If you love Cross and are waiting patiently for Season 3, then you should definitely check out this other recent gem of a Hodge performance that has just landed on a new streamer.
The film in question is The Dutchman, based on Amiri Baraka‘s 1964 play, Dutchman, which made its theatrical debut on January 2. A thriller that pulls none of its punches, The Dutchman scored positively with critics following its world premiere at SXSW 2025, no doubt thanks to boasting a strong cast that includes Hodge, André Holland, Zazie Beetz, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Fantastic Four‘s Kate Mara. Directed by Andre Gaines (After Jackie), this ambitious thriller is ready and waiting to be discovered on a new platform. As of July 1, The Dutchman is available to stream on Paramount+.
What Is Aldis Hodge Making Next?
Alongside his work on the third season of Cross, Hodge is also joining a star-studded lineup in a streaming sequel to an unlikely successful reboot. Doug Liman‘s reboot of the Patrick Swayze-led 1989 cult classic Road House might’ve been torn apart by critics, but the Jake Gyllenhaal-led movie broke viewership records for Prime Video, leading to a green light on a sequel. Since then, the road to Road House 2 has been rocky to say the least, with the director’s chair being moved from Guy Ritchie to Ilya Naishuller. Hodge will star alongside the likes of Dave Bautista, Iko Uwais, Jay Hieron, Leila George, Andrew Bachelor, and Peter Sarsgaard.
