Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for July 20-24, 2026 excite with Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) striking again. It looks like his days of terrorizing the Foresters with physical violence aren’t done despite us all knowing this is just lunacy. Plus, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) completely snaps.

Also, in the week of July 20th through the 24th, we’ve got the end of July sweeps. We’ve got Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock) going after her guy. Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) reeling from her catastrophic news, Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) plotting, and we’re going to see Katie Logan (Heather Tom) doing some scheming as well. And as always on early edition day, we go over what’s happening the rest of this week and then we get into what is coming next week.

Bold and the Beautiful: July 15th-17th – Daphne’s Diagnosis and Will’s Heartbreak

So, on Wednesday, July 15th, we have the scenes carrying over from Tuesday with Daphne getting support from Steffy. We know that Daphne’s devastated with this diagnosis that she can’t have biochildren because she is in early menopause and Steffy is stepping up to support her. Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Daphne were so excited to start a family right away and they wanted a big family and so this is just all very sad and now Daphne’s got to tell Carter this terrible news. I’m kind of wondering if we’re going to see somebody at Forrester being her surrogate. You know, Dylan could use the money.

Speaking of her, she and Will are at the beach house continuing their conversation from Tuesday. Interestingly, some fans seem to think this is a daydream in Dylan’s head because she’s being so forward unbuttoning his shirt and rubbing on him. So, on Wednesday, Dylan is referring to Will as Mr. Spencer, and he’s griping that’s his dad, Bill’s name, and that people judge Will and make up their minds before he even speaks.

But Dylan says not everybody sees Will that way. And then he’s whining that Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) didn’t see him that way. And Will tells Dylan he knows she’s trying to make him feel better when she promises him smiles and laughs, but he misses Electra so much.

B&B Spoilers: Dylan Won’t Give Up on Will

Dylan continues to flirt like crazy, but Will buttons his shirt back up. They discuss Dylan’s living arrangement, and she tells Will for the record, if she did come back to his house, she wouldn’t be living above the garage. He continues being distraught, wishing he had warned Electra. But Bill was right to tell Will that he did nothing wrong and maybe needs to forget Electra and move on to somebody else who won’t be so ridiculous. It’s clear seeing her talk to R.J. Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) this week that if Will had told her any of their trade secrets, Electra would have spilled to the Foresters.

Thursday, July 16th, Daphne and Carter’s marriage is tested. So, Daphne’s going to need a minute to process this awful news. And I’m sure Carter will too once she says no babies going the traditional route. They can adopt or use a surrogate. But Daphne and Carter probably need a little bit of time before they dive into options, but you never know, maybe they’re going to spring right into something now.

Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: Eric & Ridge Determined

Also, Eric Forrester (John McCook) and Ridge discuss launching Eric’s couture line that they put off. They want the spotlight back on Forrester Creations and off of Logan. We’ll see if they can make that happen.

Carter warned about the cost of Eric’s line, so they definitely need to knock this out of the ballpark. I honestly wasn’t real impressed with the dresses I saw, but Ridge should be setting the launch date soon.

Will goes over to the Forrester estate and tries desperately to get Electra to take him back. Will thinks he can’t live without Electra, which is nonsense. R.J.’s already been harping on Electra to stay away from Will, so him being at the house might be an issue. Plus, Electra is going to stick to her guns.

Bold Spoilers: Eric Snaps on Will

Then on Friday, July 17th, Eric sees Will on the Forrester property, and Eric’s going to get really bossy and pushy and tell Will to get out and stay away from the Foresters. Also, I don’t know if you guys have seen this, but I saw a spoiler that was marked unconfirmed, but it’s still out there, and it’s from a reputable source, and they said Will’s violence gets worse, and he punches Eric.

For me, I don’t see that happening. At the most, I could see Will being there to see Electra. Eric puts his hands on Will to shove him out the door, and maybe he yanks his hand away from Eric, who tips and falls from the momentum, something where they can like blame Will for something happening to Eric. But honestly, if Will punches an elderly man, then Brad Bell has lost his entire mind.

Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) and Steffy are at a critical point in their marriage. Despite Finn telling Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) that he can’t be around her because Steffy won’t allow it and has to prioritize his marriage, guess what? Finn tells Steffy that Sheila came to see him. And incredibly, Finn says he thinks it’s time they let Sheila into their lives. Finn really believes Sheila has changed. I don’t see Steffy ever agreeing with any of this.

B&B Spoilers July 20th-24th – Will’s Spiral and Monaco Preparations

July 20th through the 24th is a big week. Monday is the last day of July sweeps, by the way. And we’ve got R.J. getting closer to Electra at work. R.J. so happy he got Will fired and now he can focus on Electra all day long. I think it’s great R.J. can have Electra. They’re both terrible at this point on Bold and the Beautiful.

We also have Katie hard at work at Logan next week. So, I wonder if they get some info on Eric’s new couture launch. I would not put it past Bill or Katie to stage something to get the press attention and distract it from Forrester’s big day after Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge were both physically assaulting them. I think it’s karma.

Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: Electra Gets Pouty Again

And by midweek, it looks like Electra is up at Bikini Bar crouched down checking on somebody, looking upset. So, this was another part of the spoiler saying there’s another violent incident between Will and R.J. I believe that part. If Will hits him again, I’m sure it’s because R.J. was provoking him, but the whole storyline is just so off base. By the end of the week, Will is at home looking upset. Whatever goes on at Bikini is hitting him hard. He just needs to take Dylan up on her offer. And forget Electra, forget R.J., forget all things Forrester.

Brooke is back soon from running off to the wellness center and she’s going to be making plans with Steffy, Ridge and Eric for the trip to Monaco. I’m very curious if they’re going to do Eric’s couture launch there. Thinking that’ll be splashy enough to overshadow Katie’s launch of Hope for the Future by Logan. They’re off on the trip the following week. By the way, Monaco episodes start airing on July 29th.

Bold Spoilers: Sheila Stalks Steffy & Finn

Sheila’s going to follow along after Steffy reacts negatively to Finn’s suggestion that they allow Sheila into their lives. Steffy brings Finn along with her, maybe trying to keep him away from Sheila while she’s gone. But there’s going to be a showdown on the sand with Steffy ranting at her mother-in-law Sheila. And there’s big events there that change everything for a lot of people. There’s scenes on the beach, scenes at a church, and lots more.

Carter and Daphne continue reeling. And Dylan makes her play to scoop up Will, but Electra’s going to lose it when she finds out what Dylan’s up to. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Foresters fire her. Plus, Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) and Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) move forward, and Taylor’s going to be stunned to hear about Finn’s request about Sheila.

B&B Spoilers: Congrats to Emmy Nominees

Also, daytime Emmy nomination news. Congratulations to Heather Tom for her nomination in the lead actress category and also to Scott Clifton and Thorsten Kaye for their lead actor nominations. B&B did not get a nod for best daytime drama. Nor did anybody from Bold and the Beautiful land on supporting actress for a nomination.

But Lawrence Saint-Victor got the nom for best supporting actor from B&B. Shockingly, they landed a nomination in the writing category. They also got a nod for sound editing and technical direction. Congratulations to all of those nominees.

Two Illinois teenagers were arrested after a family was found massacred following a shooting spree on Sunday, July 12. The two teens arrested reportedly are a 15-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy. The suspects are reported as girlfriend and boyfriend, per ABC7 Chicago.

Two Illinois Teenagers Arrested After Family Found Massacred

Seven family members were shot in East St. Louis on Sunday morning, according to the Illinois State Police.

Five of the family members have died, and one of the two teenagers, reportedly the 15-year-old girl, is related to the victims.

The deceased victims include Patricia May, 74, Cherie May, 49, Devin May, 24, 21-year-old Quentin Thompson, and Shania Thompson, 25. Additionally, two others were also shot and are reportedly in critical condition.

“On July 12, 2026, the East St. Louis Police Department requested PSEG assistance after human remains were discovered at the Samuel Gompers Homes,” read the ISP press release. “​The victims are all related to the female suspect.“

KMOV reports that the shooting spree took place in three locations — Jones Park, the Samuel Gompers public housing complex, and a location near Summit Ave. and N 39th St.

One Family Member Was Dismembered

The ISP noted that all of the family members are related to the 15-year-old victim. However, her name is being withheld because she is under 16. Furthermore, the other suspect was listed as Ja’ymier Davis.

“PSEG Agents presented the case to St. Clair County State’s Attorney James Gomric, who approved five counts of First-Degree Murder,” read the release. “Two counts of Attempted First-Degree Murder … two counts of Aggravated Battery … one count of Aggravated Vehicular Hijacking … one count of Dismembering a Human Body, and one count of Unlawful Use of a Stolen Firearm. Davis is charged as an adult and is being held at the St. Clair, County Jail pending his first court appearance.”

The 15-year-old was also charged with five counts of first-degree murder.

 Suspects’ Alleged Motive Revealed By Family

According to KSDK News, the two other victims were identified as Tiffany Thompson and Santasha Scott, the cousin and mother of the female suspect. 

Another family member, Lamarion Smiley, said that the teens were motivated because they wanted to be together.

“They wanted to eliminate everybody that had a problem with the situation,” said Smiley. “There was a list on Instagram that they, her, and the boyfriend made, so we were aware. We just didn’t know when… They took them to Jones Park, and they fired off in the vehicle, hitting my wife 4 times. Killing Quentin And Shania Thompson. And shooting my auntie in the face…. She stood over my wife. Trying to kill her, but they had no more bullets.”

Furthermore, Patricia May’s thumb was reportedly cut off. To note, May is the grandmother of the 15-year-old suspect. Her daughter, Cherie, was the suspect’s aunt and the mother of Devin May. Quentin Thompson and Shania Thompson were the suspects’ siblings, per PEOPLE and KARE 11 News.

“I can’t show her no sympathy,” he said of his daughter. “She chose to do this. No stipulation… Everybody had a choice.”

Rom-com superstardom can make people weirdly lazy about Julia Roberts. They remember the smile, the laugh, the posters, the box-office heat, and then act like the whole career was built on charm alone. That misses the real thing. Roberts became massive because the charm had fight in it. Even when she was being funny or romantic, there was usually impatience, pride, hurt, or survival sitting right under the surface.

These five films prove how strong that screen presence can get when the material knows what to do with it. Roberts can be cold, magnetic, furious, and so much more. That range is why the movie-star label actually means something with her.

‘Closer’ (2004)

Mike Nichols lets everyone in Closer sound intelligent while behaving terribly, which is exactly why the movie still stings. Anna Cameron (Julia Roberts) gets pulled into the emotional wreckage between Dan Woolf (Jude Law), Alice Ayres (Natalie Portman), and Larry Gray (Clive Owen), and she never feels like the safe “adult” in the room. Anna is controlled, yes, but the control often looks more like exhaustion than wisdom. She knows desire can humiliate people, and she still keeps stepping into it.

Roberts strips away the easy warmth audiences usually expect from her. Anna’s face often looks guarded, almost tired of being wanted by men who turn attraction into possession. Her scenes with Larry are especially brutal because the marriage has turned into a contest of confession, punishment, and sexual power. Closer uses Roberts against her own romantic image, and that choice gives the film real bite. She is no fantasy here. She is a woman trying to stay composed while everyone keeps demanding access to the parts of her she would rather keep private.

‘Ocean’s Eleven’ (2001)

Image via Warner Bros. Pictures

A casino heist movie packed with Danny Ocean (George Clooney), Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt), Linus Caldwell (Matt Damon), Basher Tarr (Don Cheadle), Frank Catton (Bernie Mac), and Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould) could easily reduce Tess Ocean (Julia Roberts) to “the ex-wife prize.” Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s Eleven avoids that trap by making her taste matter. Tess is the reason Danny’s confidence has a weakness. He can plan around vaults, cameras, guards, timing, and Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia)’s empire, but he cannot treat Tess like another piece of the job without exposing how badly he still wants her respect.

Roberts does a lot with stillness here. Tess has heard Danny’s charm before, which makes her the rare person in the movie who is almost immune to the sparkle. That changes the rhythm whenever she appears. The heist is sleek and funny, but the romantic thread gives Danny’s cool-guy routine a bruise. Tess is not impressed by the performance of being clever and wants proof that he understands the consequences. In a film full of perfect timing, Roberts brings the one thing Danny cannot simply steal back.

‘Erin Brockovich’ (2000)

The miracle of Erin Brockovich is how messy it lets its hero be. Erin Brockovich (Julia Roberts) is broke, unemployed, raising three kids, angry at being dismissed, and tired of people treating her clothes, voice, and attitude like evidence against her intelligence. Then she starts digging into medical records tied to Pacific Gas and Electric’s contamination of Hinkley’s water, and the film becomes a legal drama powered by outrage that feels completely personal.

Erin talks fast because she has spent her life fighting to be heard before someone shuts the door. She dresses the way she wants, flirts when she wants, swears when she wants, and still does the work better than the people looking down on her. The case matters because the victims matter to her as people, not files. Roberts earned the Oscar here through more than charisma. She made Erin’s anger useful, specific, and impossible to patronize.

‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’ (1997)

Julianne Potter (Julia Roberts) is a disaster, and that is the whole thrill of My Best Friend’s Wedding. She finds out her best friend Michael O’Neal (Dermot Mulroney) is marrying Kimmy Wallace (Cameron Diaz), panics, and turns a romantic comedy setup into a sabotage mission against a woman who has done almost nothing wrong. That could have made the movie unbearable. Roberts saves the whole thing by letting Julianne be funny, jealous, charming, insecure, mean, and painfully aware of her own bad timing.

The genius is that the film refuses to reward her selfishness with the usual fantasy ending. Kimmy is sweet without being stupid, Michael is not some secret soulmate waiting to wake up, and George Downes (Rupert Everett) keeps pointing out the emotional truth Julianne wants to dodge. Roberts lets the audience love Julianne while also knowing she is wrong. That is a harder trick than it looks. Julianne, in the end, has to accept that love sometimes arrives too late, and the person you want may still belong with someone else. But the film keeps you hooked and invested throughout.

‘Notting Hill’ (1999)

Notting Hill understands movie-star fantasy better than almost any romantic comedy of its era. Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) is famous enough to make ordinary life impossible, and William Thacker (Hugh Grant) is ordinary enough to make her feel, briefly, like she can breathe. The setup sounds light, almost impossible to mess up: a Hollywood star walks into a London bookshop and falls for the awkward owner. The reason it lasts is that the film keeps remembering how strange and painful that fantasy would be for the person everyone is staring at.

Roberts brings her own celebrity history into Anna without turning the role into self-pity. The dinner scene with William’s friends matters because Anna is allowed to be funny, bruised, competitive, and honest in a room that slowly stops treating her like an image. The “just a girl” line became famous for a reason, but the real power sits in everything around it: the failed timing, the public exposure, the fear of being loved as an idea rather than a person. Notting Hill is the Roberts classic that knows exactly why people adore her and exactly how lonely adoration can become.

Vicki Gunvalson is back on “The Real Housewives of Orange County” for its 20th season. Now, following the much-talked-about premiere, the 64-year-old is opening up about her fight with Heather Dubrow and defending herself after accusing her co-star and her husband, Terry Dubrow, of using an inheritance to pay for their mansion.

5

One of the most talked-about parts of the “Real Housewives of Orange County” season 20 premiere came when Dubrow confronted Gunvalson for previously stating that she and her husband, Terry, were rich thanks to an inheritance they had received.

Following the confrontation, Gunvalson doubled down, saying she doesn’t know any other doctors who live in $40 million homes. Recently, during a Page Six interview, she was asked about the remark. The “RHOC” star began, “I think Heather realizes, you know, it was just a comment.”

She added, “Whether it’s true or not, I just have a different viewpoint of it.” After that, she highlighted Terry’s success, saying, “He’s a producer, he has ‘Botched,’ he’s also a plastic surgeon.” From there, Gunvalson mentioned how Dubrow had stated that she and Terry’s parents were alive, noting that both their fathers had died, as did Terry’s brother.

Vicki Says People Like Heather Shouldn’t Be Ashamed Of Inheritances

5

Gunvalson continued to defend her comment that the Dubrows were living lavishly due to an inheritance, citing her own career in financial planning. She said, “It[the money] is gonna go somewhere, and if it went to them, good for them, own it.”

After that, in speaking about her own “legacy plan,” Gunvalson stated that her children will inherit from what she leaves behind, as will her grandchildren. She said, “They should not be embarrassed because I worked really hard my whole life and whatever number they get, they get.”

The “RHOC” star continued, “I think Heather should own it if that’s the truth and if it’s not the truth, I misspoke.” Gunvalson then said of the couple, “I love them. I respect them, but somehow it got brought up- that doesn’t make sense. The numbers don’t make sense.”

Heather And Terry Dubrow Recently Sold A $16.5 Million Home

5

Gunvalson didn’t say which of the Dubrows’ homes she was referring to in her commentary. However, according to Yahoo Finance, the couple sold a sprawling Beverly Hills mansion in 2025 for a reported $16.5 million. It sold in August after being listed in March. They bought the home for a reported $16.1 million two years before.

Initially, the couple planned to have an asking price of around $40 million. However, they then listed it for $25 million after their plans to renovate would have been too expensive. Then, in May, the price dropped to below $20 million.

Vicki Also Called Out Her Co-Stars’ Financial Decisions

5

During the Page Six interview, the hosts asked Gunvalson whether, given her financial planning and insurance background, she is ever bothered by her co-stars’ poor decisions and if she intervenes. For context, the “RHOC” star launched COTO Insurance & Financial Services in 1994.

She said, “Yes, and yes, I do. You’ll see this season.” Gunvalson continued, “I struggle with it because I’m uber responsible with paying my taxes and making sure that I overpay so I get a little refund at the end.”

The Bravo star added, “So, I just run my home differently than a lot; I don’t overspend.” In giving examples of her frugality, she stated that she does not use Uber Black and that her only real splurging is with airline tickets when it makes sense to book first class.

Gunvalson then called herself “a steward of money.”

The Ratings For ‘RHOC’ Season 20 Are Up

5

Season 20 of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” premiered on Bravo on July 9. Notably, not only is it the show’s 20th year, but it marks the milestone for the “Housewives” franchise as a whole. Now, following the premiere, it’s been reported that 0.627 million people watched the episode.

Eight seasons in, ABC‘s hit procedural The Rookie remains one of the network’s most popular shows. After launching in 2018 with a premise centered on a rookie (played by Nathan Fillion) in the mid-stages of his life joining the LAPD, the show has evolved into a high-octane police procedural that showcases the lives of law enforcement in the world’s entertainment capital. While other shows run out of steam as seasons go by, The Rookie is one of the rare exceptions that maintains its audience or even grows. The show has been reported as one of the most popular procedurals among Gen-Z.

The eighth season started on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, and concluded on Monday, May 4, with the finale titled “The Bandit.” The season was full of major moments, including a proposal and the death of one of the show’s long-running villains, marking the end of an era for the procedural known for keeping its villains around for several years. The season shook things up a lot by including scenes outside of Los Angeles, bringing back polarizing characters, and even doing special episodes. The bad news is that The Rookie is the show ABC holds for midseason, with Season 9 expected around January next year.

However, ABC knows fans are starved for more The Rookie content, and the network is making a rare move by releasing an extended cut of Episode 10, “His Name Was Martin,” Deadline reports. The episode aired on March 9 and featured an emotional arc for Lucy Chen (Melissa O’Neil). In it, the team tries to prevent a cleaning crew from wreaking havoc after they are exposed to chemicals at Westview. The members of the crew exhibit rabid behavior akin to zombies, and when Lucy is cornered by one of them, she discharges her weapon and kills him. The ordeal had a profound emotional impact on her. The extended cut includes five and a half extra minutes and will be released in five days on July 20. Viewers can find it in the Extras section of The Rookie‘s landing page on Hulu.

Why Is ABC Releasing an Extended Episode of ‘The Rookie?’

With around 40 minutes available for scenes on broadcast shows, some scenes don’t make it into the final network cut. Series creator Alexi Hawley — who also wrote and directed the zombie episode — revealed that he had to cut some material that would have contextualized Tim (Eric Winter) and Lucy’s scenes later in the episode. Since episodes can run as long as they want on streaming, Hawley decided to re-include the scenes he cut as a reward for viewers who have made The Rookie one of ABC’s most-watched shows. He explained:

Network run times are set in stone. But Hulu’s are not. So, I picked up the phone and pitched the idea of releasing an extended cut as a reward to our amazing fans, who are so invested in the show. Now they’ll be able to go deeper into the character journeys (especially for Tim and Lucy) and see the previously unaired scenes that enhance the episode in a unique way.

All seasons of The Rookie are available to stream on Hulu in the US. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Jennifer Lopez is facing another setback in her attempt to sell the Beverly Hills mansion she once shared with Ben Affleck.

After reports suggested the luxury estate was close to changing hands, a prospective buyer reportedly pulled out of the $50 million deal, putting the property back on the market.

The development marks the latest twist in the home’s lengthy sales journey, which has unfolded alongside Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s post-divorce separation.

4

Lopez’s efforts to sell her Beverly Hills estate for $50 million have reportedly hit another setback after a promising deal unexpectedly collapsed.

According to TMZ, a prospective buyer who had already placed a substantial deposit on the property backed out of the transaction for reasons that remain unclear. The collapse comes just days after reports suggested the estate was in escrow and on track to change hands following a lengthy and difficult sales process.

Real estate sources had previously indicated that an offer had been accepted and that the buyer was a prominent figure in the technology and finance industries. However, with the deal now off the table, the luxury property has reportedly returned to the market, leaving Lopez and her real estate team searching for a new buyer once again.

The singer and actress purchased the mansion with her ex-husband Ben Affleck in May 2023 for nearly $61 million. At the time, the sprawling estate was meant to be the couple’s dream home. But after their separation in 2024 and divorce in January 2025, the property became one of the last major ties connecting the former couple.

Inside Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck’s Marital Estate

4

Situated on more than five acres, the estate spans approximately 46,000 square feet and was designed with celebrity-level luxury in mind. The residence features 12 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, expansive entertaining areas, and a dramatic entrance complete with soaring ceilings and a floating staircase.

Among its standout features are a private theater with seating for up to 100 guests, formal dining and living spaces, and numerous high-end finishes throughout the home.

Lopez reportedly customized parts of the property to fit her lifestyle, adding a glam room, a dance rehearsal space, a recording studio, and extensive wardrobe storage. Affleck’s interests are reflected in the home’s enormous indoor sports complex, complete with basketball, pickleball, and boxing facilities.

Outside, the estate offers a resort-style infinity pool overlooking canyon views, guest accommodations, private cabanas, landscaped grounds, and parking facilities capable of accommodating dozens of vehicles.

The Singer Faces Millions In Fees As Mansion Sale Drags On

4

Selling the luxury home has proven far more difficult than expected. Since listing the property, Lopez and Affleck have struggled to secure a buyer.

The mansion first hit the market in July 2024 with a $68 million asking price before undergoing a series of reductions as luxury real estate sales slowed across Los Angeles.

Even if the mansion eventually finds a buyer, experts have noted that the sale may not generate a significant profit.

Between reduced asking prices, real estate commissions, and Los Angeles’ luxury property transfer tax, Lopez could face millions of dollars in transaction-related expenses.

More On The Singer’s Mansion Sale Woes

4

One of the biggest financial hurdles for Lopez is the city’s mansion tax, which applies to high-value property sales within Los Angeles city limits.

Had the estate been located within neighboring Beverly Hills, many of those costs would have been substantially lower. In addition, standard real estate commissions alone could total several million dollars.

One expense Lopez has reportedly already taken care of is the property’s annual tax bill. Public records indicate that the estate’s property taxes, estimated at roughly $378,000 per year, have been paid in full.

Reports have also suggested that Affleck later transferred his ownership interest in the home to Lopez, giving her full control over the property.

While that arrangement could allow the singer and actress to turn a profit if the home eventually sells, the latest failed deal means the search for the right buyer continues.

Jennifer Lopez Turns Heads At Wimbledon In Elegant Summer Ensemble

The Lord of the Rings has the fantasy genre locked down when it comes to the big screen, but the franchise has also expanded into TV in recent years with shows like The Rings of Power. Amazon has aired two full seasons of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Prime Video, and it’s already been confirmed that the third is on the way later this year. The Rings of Power is far from the only fantasy show at Amazon with a devoted fan base, though. The Wheel of Time picked up millions of fans around the world through its first few seasons, many of whom were familiar with the books by Robert Jordan that inspired it, and others whose first experience with the franchise came through the Prime Video series.

The third season of The Wheel of Time aired early in 2025, and while most fans and creatives alike assumed that the show would be given the chance to continue into Season 4, it was sadly canceled after Season 3. The Wheel of Time fans do have a new release coming soon to look forward to, though, as a new board game titled War of the Dragon: The Wheel of Time has been picking up steam as the first ever board game inspired by the hit fantasy franchise. The new release will put players directly in the middle of the epic conflict between Rand’al Thor (portrayed by Josha Stradowski in the show) and The Dark One. Over on Kickstarter, the crowdfunding campaign for the new Wheel of Time game has raised over $1.16 million from 6,156 donors at the time of writing, and it’s expected that the game will launch before the end of 2027. An official description for the game reads as follows:

“Robert Jordan’s fantasy masterpiece comes to your table with the first-ever board game based on The Wheel of Time series. War of the Dragon: The Wheel of Time chronicles the epic conflict between the forces of light and darkness as players wage war across a land of magic, ancient prophecies, and powerful armies set to save the world … or destroy it. The game combines tableau building, action selection, and area control mechanics in a thrilling struggle of conquest and survival.”

Why Did Prime Video Cancel ‘The Wheel of Time’?

When the news came out that Prime Video had canceled The Wheel of Time, it was reported that the studio’s reason behind the cancellation was strictly financial. It was even reported that many creatives involved with the decision were fans of the show, though that didn’t take away any of the sting from long-time fans. Despite petitions to save the show receiving thousands of signatures, Prime Video doubled down on the cancellation, confirming that it wasn’t even shopping the show to other networks and streamers, effectively sealing its fate.

Check out all three seasons of The Wheel of Time on Prime Video and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of War of the Dragon: The Wheel of Time.
