What Will Alice Do With the List of Names on the Flash Drive?

The biggest cliffhanger centered on Alice, a computer, and a list of names. It’s revealed that not only was Alice’s abuse filmed, but the file was also on Jay Easton’s (Peter McRobbie) laptop. After being encouraged to look at the USB, Alice wasn’t looking at a video, but at the names of those who had. With this newfound information, Alice is sitting on a lot of power. Will she bring those individuals to justice, or will she go on a vigilante crusade to avenge her past? The magnitude of the list wasn’t necessarily about who was on it, but about how many—over 50,000 individuals — downloaded her video. If her chilling smile before the credits is any indication, Alice has tasted blood, and she may want more.

Speaking to Collider, Rossum spoke of the concrete facts behind her discovery. “Clicking over to know that there are 50,000 people that have watched this. It’s just a huge number. It’s probably larger than the number she anticipated,” Rossum revealed. “It’s not an easy hit list. But as Nora says, you have to have your eyes wide open. So I think there’s power in knowing that that really happened, and that there’s that level of exposure.” Upon being pressed on the term “hit list,” Rossum revealed, “All I can say is I’ve talked to Liz about what she wants to do, and I think it’s really exciting. But Liz loves to pivot and keep the process really fluid as she imagines her way into it. So, there have been a lot of text message pitches and a lot of thumbs-up, and then a lot of no responses. I can take a hint, you know what I mean?” Though she may not know where her character will go next, this list will be on Alice’s mind as she embarks on future cases.

Will Catherine Play a Part in Alice’s Dark Turn?

Season 1 was all about the chase. On the surface, Alice was the law, and Catherine was the criminal, but both women were fascinatingly complicated and complex. By the time the two women came face to face, they discovered that they were quite similar despite their posturing. Alice’s morality often dictated many of the decisions surrounding Catherine’s late-season actions, but, as we’ve learned, it was to help her find closure in the end. One of the big bombshells was that Catherine was the one who killed her friend Isabel (Larissa Campos), but before Alice could help her get to that revelation, Catherine explained the thrill that came with killing someone. Alice had never had that sensation — until she did. Jay Easton didn’t die of respiratory failure; she stepped on his tube and suffocated him.

Whether Alice needed the push from Catherine or Jay’s admission that he recognized her from the video, Alice’s dark side had been unleashed. At the conclusion of the season, Catherine knew Alice was harboring that secret and likely enjoyed the rush. Should Alice embark on her own vigilante tour, the only person she might be able to confide in is Catherine. With Catherine behind bars, will she aid in fueling the already burning fire? The hunt for Catherine corrupted Alice’s mind, and there’s no coming back from that. While Catherine may not be a physical part of the story moving forward, her vendetta is likely to live on. Rossum told Decider, “I think Alice and Catherine are people who have been underestimated and are both feeling somewhat powerless, even though they’re on these missions for justice and vengeance. And when Catherine later on says that killing someone is power, it’s taking power back, I think that that changes something in the way that Alice thinks about what Catherine is doing.”

Will Nora Take Down Ed George?

If there’s nothing we learned from Season 1, it’s that even with the proof present, that doesn’t mean those who deserve to be punished will be punished. Case in point: Ed George (Danny McCarthy). The corrupt Assistant Special Agent in Charge was a major cog in the criminal and trafficking activities of the powerful Easton clan. As the fixer, he cleaned up and manipulated to help the Eastons avoid justice. Because he was directly tied to the investigation of the Season 1 murders, he spent his time suppressing the path to justice, much to the ire of Nora Washington (Quincy Tyler Bernstine). That is, until the evidence made its way to a teeny-tiny USB.

Nora loses her high-strung anxiety the moment she captures Ed in the elevator, as she knows she has the power to expose his evidence and take him down. Nora is a brilliant woman and no longer wants to be demeaned by him, so if she’s going to be his demise, she knows she only has one shot. Speaking to Collider, Bernstine has an idea of what might come next. “One of my objectives is to get Ed, because ‘the bane of her existence’ is like an understatement. But he needs to go. And so I was so delighted that she finally gets that flash drive, and I feel like that’s the key,” she revealed. “I do believe that she is going to get him. We end with that scene, and I’m like, ‘Okay.’ Because she has all the cards now. There’s a desperation that we see coming from him. I really believe that we’re going to get him finally.” With Meriweather also signing off on “getting Ed,” it’s now how enthralling the downfall will be!

Advertisement


Camp Crystal Lake · Friday the 13th

Jason Voorhees

Jason is relentless, but he is also predictable — and that is the gap you would exploit.

  • He moves in straight lines toward his target. He doesn’t strategise, doesn’t adapt, doesn’t outsmart. He simply pursues.
  • Your ability to keep moving, use the environment, and resist the panic that freezes most victims gives you a genuine edge.
  • The Crystal Lake survivors were always the ones who stopped running in circles and started thinking about terrain, water, and distance.
  • You think like that. Which means Jason, for all his indestructibility, would face someone who simply refused to be where he expected.

Advertisement


Haddonfield, Illinois · Halloween

Michael Myers

Michael watches before he moves. He is patient, methodical, and almost impossible to detect — until it’s too late for anyone who isn’t paying close enough attention.

  • But you are paying attention. You notice the shape in the window, the car parked slightly wrong, the silence where there should be sound.
  • Michael’s power lies in the invisibility of ordinary suburbia — the fact that nothing ever looks wrong until it already is.
  • Your spatial awareness and instinct to map every room, every exit, and every shadow before you need them is precisely the quality Laurie Strode had.
  • You are not a victim waiting to happen. You are someone who already suspects something is wrong — and acts on it.

Advertisement


Elm Street · A Nightmare on Elm Street

Freddy Krueger

Freddy wins by getting inside your head — using your own fears, your own memories, your own subconscious as weapons against you. That strategy requires a target who can be destabilised.

  • You are harder to destabilise than most. You’ve faced uncomfortable truths about yourself and you haven’t looked away.
  • The survivors on Elm Street were always the ones who understood what was happening and chose to face it rather than flee from it.
  • Freddy’s greatest weakness is that his power evaporates in the presence of someone who refuses to give him the fear he feeds on.
  • Your psychological resilience — the ability to stay grounded when reality itself becomes unreliable — is exactly the quality that keeps you alive here.

Advertisement


Derry, Maine · It

Pennywise

Pennywise is ancient, shapeshifting, and feeds on terror — but it has one critical vulnerability: it cannot function against someone who genuinely stops being afraid of it.

  • The Losers Club didn’t survive because they were braver than everyone else. They survived because they faced their fears together, and faced them honestly.
  • You ask the questions others avoid. You look directly at what frightens you rather than turning away.
  • That directness — the refusal to let fear fester in the dark — is Pennywise’s worst nightmare.
  • It chose the wrong target when it chose you. You are exactly the kind of person whose fear tastes like nothing at all.

Advertisement


Chicago · Child’s Play

Chucky

Chucky’s greatest advantage is that nobody takes him seriously until it’s already too late. He exploits the gap between how something looks and what it actually is.

  • You don’t have that gap. You take threats seriously regardless of how they present — and you never make the mistake of underestimating something because of its size or appearance.
  • Chucky relies on surprise, on the delay between recognition and response. You close that delay faster than almost anyone.
  • Your instinct to treat every unfamiliar thing with appropriate scepticism — rather than dismissing it because it seems absurd — is the exact quality that keeps you breathing.
  • Against Chucky, not laughing is already winning. You are very good at not laughing.

Can Alice and Danny’s Romance Survive?

Perhaps the true light in the darkness of Furious was the relationship between Alice and Danny Kelly (Scoot McNairy). It would be unfair to say that Danny was like a lost puppy following Alice around, but if there was ever a potentially green-flag romantic partner, it’s him. Before the action of Season 1, Danny was very much a part of Alice’s life while she was dealing with an abusive relationship with a co-worker at the NYPD. He is incredibly protective of her and willing to stand up to anyone who tries to impede her, both professionally and personally. But as their professional relationship rekindled, it sparked a mutual adoration and love. But nothing comes that easily. Upon Danny seeing the video of Alice, he simply cannot look at her the same way. It’s a heartbreaking moment, but time is all it takes.

Advertisement

As the investigation dwindles, Alice visits Danny at the Jersey Shore as Danny is ready for a slower life away from the department, retiring from the badge. It’s there that they finally move beyond the difficult past to embark on an intimate, supportive romantic relationship. Oh, and about that flash drive. By handing it over to Alice, Danny puts the power in her hands, but he also has no idea that it could have unleashed the dark side within Alice and hurt their romance. Danny wants a quiet life, and now Alice is more deeply involved than she had been before. Noting the complications of her abusive past and his marriage, Rossum noted to Collider that they are at “very different points in their lives” when hinting at where the duo might head next. “When they finally do get together on that beach, I think she’s still wondering if he could love her, knowing all of the totality of what’s happened to her, now having seen part of this video himself. And I think that’s so human, wondering if somebody could love you with all of the damage and all the knowledge of people that have hurt you.”

What Will Happen to Marshall?

If there’s an unlikable character to be played, fret not, Jake Lacy has it on lock. In Furious, he plays NYPD detective and Alice’s abusive ex-boyfriend Marshall Connelly. Marshall is an example of the good ol’ boys’ club in the male-dominated field, as, despite the allegations against him, he still has support from his colleagues — to an extent, that is. With the premise of needing Alice to withdraw her allegations so he could further his career, it’s his very manipulative, ill mother (Constance Shulman) effectively threatening her, triggering Alice to seek revenge on him by seducing him and ignoring his vices. As a man who will not go down without a fight, when Alice has Catherine cornered at the women’s shelter, Marshall attacks Alice, resulting in Catherine shooting him.

Advertisement

In another cruel twist of fate, Marshall survives. Though he does suffer long-term physical impairment or paralysis, as he’s seen in a wheelchair, to make matters worse, Marshall is awarded an official medal for bravery rather than facing accountability for his abusive actions. Watching the same institution that ignored Alice recognize Marshall should make you furious. Surely that won’t be the end of his story, with Alice perhaps going down a dark path in Season 2. Further, Marshall is likely to blame his condition on Alice. He’s proven he’s eager for retribution, so Alice’s safety should be on high alert.

Will Emma Easton Face the Same Fate as Her Father?

Though the inspiration for Furious is the 1987 film Black Widow, the premise is quite striking when held up against today’s headlines. Though the dark story focused squarely on the men who sexually assaulted the young girls and covered it up, there was one female enabler who is equally guilty: Emma Easton (Hope Davis). The daughter of a wealthy patriarch, Emma is weakly complicit and codependent. She serves as the physical cleaner of the evidence, aiding her father’s trafficking and abuse of young women. She rationalizes her father’s crimes, even minimizing his actions by claiming the victims were teenagers rather than little children. And even still, he dismissed her and couldn’t care how she could be implicated in his crimes. The major revelation in the finale was that it was Emma’s DNA underneath Isabel’s fingernails. She claimed to have been seeking out help for the young girl, but she ultimately left her to die, with Catherine administering the fatal dose.

Advertisement

Emma claims she’s a victim too, even encouraging Catherine to shoot her father instead, but as the fickle finger of fate would have it, Emma survives. Now, what happens to her next is crucial. She’s seen in isolation in her greenhouse, physically struggling. Does she believe it’s only time before justice comes back to haunt her? “I didn’t think Emma should be killed, but I don’t think living is any sort of reward for Emma, and it seems right that she’ll live in a hell of her own making,” Davis shared with Gold Derby. In the real world, we’ve seen the accomplice find themselves behind bars, so if justice is to be served, expect Emma to receive the same fate. Though her ties to the uppers, who have also helped cover things up, could be her saving grace.

What Happens to Alden Next?

Steve Way in Furious Episode 5

Perhaps the most intriguing and important supporting character is Alden Drummings (Steve Way). At first, he seemed to just be some comic relief in Catherine’s orbit, but his brilliant thinking has literally set the action in motion for Season 2. Had he not made a copy of Jay Easton’s computer on the flash drive, the path toward justice and revenge wouldn’t have existed. Alden is cared for by Catherine in the guise of “Vanessa,” who uses him for a quiet hideout and to access prescription fentanyl. They do form an unlikely bond that leads him to propose to her with his late mother’s ring; by the season finale, Catherine reveals that she is married, and all signs point to Alden. But with his love behind bars, he’s also without his caregiver. That said, their emotional bond may have softened her enough to seek a way out to be with and assist Alden sooner.

Advertisement

Despite learning of Catherine’s ruthless crusade of blood, Alden actively chooses to give her the benefit of the doubt and help abet her crimes. His time in the police interrogation by Danny and FBI agent Frank Choi (Rob Yang) is one of the few moments of levity in the heavy series. The truth is, he held onto a key piece of leverage. Seeing integrity in Danny, he passes off the flash drive that created our current domino. Part of why he handed off the information was a sense of trust. Speaking to Collider after his big episode, Way shared, “All he has is this woman, who he loves, and who loves him. So, it’s kind of like his last stand. It’s all or nothing. And he was already going to do that once he trusted Danny. He doesn’t really trust anyone else, I don’t think.” When did that trust come in? “I honestly think it’s when he says that he has a disabled son, because right away, that tells Alden that he gets it. He knows what it’s like to be a parent of a disabled child. He understands what it’s like to fight the system,” Way shared. But is Aiden gone for good? If Catherine is behind bars, the only person who can protect him is Danny.

Benzino Doubles Down On Joseline Hernandez, Folks Picks A Side

Published

on

Rihanna Seemingly Addresses Baby Rumors, Talks "Little Pouch"

Benzino has more to say about Joseline Hernandez — but this time, he’s taking aim at the women standing behind her. The rapper and media personality recently made it clear that he’s not backing down from his concerns about Joseline’s parenting, and now he’s questioning the people who continue to defend her.

RELATED: Joseline Hernandez DRAGS Benzino After He Calls Her Out For Telling Bonnie Bella That Stevie J Doesn’t Contribute Financially (VIDEOS)

Benzino Doubles Down On His Joseline Parenting Concerns

As the back-and-forth surrounding Joseline, her daughter Bonnie Bella, and the conversations happening online continues to heat up, Benzino is making it known that he has some serious questions about what he’s seeing.

In a video obtained by Live Bitez, Benzino called out women who support Joseline and questioned why anyone would “co-sign” a mother talking to a 10-year-old about stripping and other adult topics. He also pushed back on the idea that his stance is about supporting absent fathers, saying he doesn’t “co-sign” absent fathers. At one point, Benzino described the women he was addressing as “just a bunch of loud… angry, traumatic women pissed off,” while also claiming there is a “whole generation” of children who are “lost” because of women.

The Internet Wasn’t Letting This One Slide

Meanwhile, fans took the conversation straight to Live Bitez’s Instagram comment section, and the replies quickly started piling up. Some questioned Benzino’s parenting and claimed he has issues with his own children, while others defended Joseline and said she’s a great mom and that Bonnie Bella is a bright kid. Of course, some commenters agreed with Benzino’s concerns, showing that social media is still divided over the situation.

One Instagram user @braids_by_alexis said, I agree but most moms do that anyway and vs versa. Once the child gets older they’ll figure out whose actually there for them…”

This Instagram user @koodab added,Deadbeats never focus on their own lack of relationships with their own children.”

And, Instagram user @og_roc_dif shared, The fact I’m agreeing with Benzino says a lot.”

Meanwhile, Instagram user @dablacka.773 joked, Angry af wit no neck is crazy 🤣🤣🤣”

Advertisement

While Instagram user @juuso_fit commented, To each his own, she seems like a very intelligent child.”

Finally, Instagram user @dreamminnie1 claimed, Joseline has the best relationship in with her daughter and teaching her how hard it was when she was her age and in life”

So, What Exactly Caused All Of This Between?

It all started after clips from Joseline Hernandez’s new reality show began circulating online, featuring conversations between the reality star and her nine-year-old daughter, Bonnie Bella, that quickly raised eyebrows. In one clip, Bonnie says Joseline explained what a “stripper” does for work, while Joseline acknowledged that she doesn’t want her daughter learning about her past from the internet or at school. The two also discussed Bonnie’s relationship with her father, Stevie J, with the nine-year-old saying she feels he’s both a “good dad” and “not a good dad.” Joseline then added to the conversation by alleging that Stevie doesn’t give them any money, pointing to Bonnie’s expensive school and questioning why he doesn’t call to ask if they need financial help.

As the clips spread, Benzino hopped online with concerns about Joseline having those conversations with Bonnie at such a young age. He said the child shouldn’t be exposed to discussions about her mother’s past as a stripper and called the conversations inappropriate for her age. But Benzino said the bigger issue was Joseline allegedly telling Bonnie that Stevie J doesn’t provide financial support, arguing that repeatedly hearing that narrative could cause a child to resent their father as they get older. He also said Joseline should tell the “whole story” if she’s going to discuss Stevie with their daughter, adding that Stevie played a role in helping launch her career. From there, the conversation escalated, with Benzino continuing to criticize Joseline and later turning his attention toward the women defending her.

Taylor Frankie Paul’s TV Comeback Gets Surprising Boost

Published

on

Taylor Frankie Paul

Taylor Frankie Paul’s reality TV future looked uncertain just months ago, but ABC and Disney are reportedly opening the door again.

After her season of “The Bachelorette” was pulled amid renewed scrutiny over her past domestic violence case and fresh allegations involving ex Dakota Mortensen, the “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star is now reportedly confirmed for Season 6 of the Hulu hit.

The comeback arrives as Paul closes one legal chapter, continues fighting over custody of her children, and prepares to return to a cast where tensions have hardly disappeared.

Paul will officially return for Season 6 of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” with an insider telling Page Six that ABC has maintained an open line of communication with the reality star.

“ABC’s been great. They have total faith throughout,” the source said, adding that the network has been “supportive throughout this process.”

Advertisement

A second source suggested Paul has been trying to move forward from the turmoil surrounding her 2023 arrest, telling Page Six that she “has been working on herself” while “dealing with personal issues.”

That backing marks a striking shift from March, when ABC canceled Paul’s already-filmed season of “The Bachelorette” days before its scheduled premiere.

The decision followed the resurfacing of footage from a 2023 altercation with Mortensen. Paul was arrested after that incident and later entered a plea connected to an aggravated assault charge.

The fallout spread beyond ABC. As The Blast previously reported, Cinnabon ended a planned collaboration connected to both “The Bachelorette” and “Mormon Wives” amid the controversy.

Taylor Frankie Paul’s New Legal Chapter Changes The Picture

Paul’s 2026 troubles were not limited to the old footage.

Earlier this year, she faced separate domestic violence allegations involving Mortensen, prompting police investigations and contributing to uncertainty surrounding “Mormon Wives” production.

However, the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office announced in April that it would not file new criminal charges against Paul, citing insufficient evidence. Prosecutors also declined to pursue an alleged probation violation.

The decision potentially removed a major obstacle for the Hulu series, with The Blast reporting at the time that production appeared closer to resuming.

Another significant legal milestone followed on August 7. A judge ruled that Paul had successfully completed the probation stemming from her 2023 case and amended her aggravated assault felony charge to a Class A misdemeanor.

Paul marked the moment publicly, writing, “Three years probation complete.”

Taylor Frankie Paul Still Faces A Painful Custody Fight

Her television comeback does not mean the turmoil in Paul’s personal life is over.

She remains involved in custody disputes with Mortensen, with whom she shares their son Ever, and with ex-husband Tate Paul, with whom she shares their children Indy and Ocean.

In July, Page Six reported that Paul rejected separate custody proposals from the two men that would have given her roughly 40 percent parenting time. A source close to the reality personality maintained she would continue fighting for her children “as long as it takes.”

There have also been court developments in her favor.

During a July hearing involving Mortensen, a judge expanded Paul’s parenting time with Ever so that certain weekend periods would extend into Monday mornings.

That followed an earlier victory covered by The Blast, when Paul was granted additional time with her young son.

‘Mormon Wives’ Return Comes After Taylor Frankie Paul Sought Help

Paul has also spoken candidly about needing professional support during the upheaval.

In July, she confirmed that she voluntarily sought treatment at a facility, emphasizing that the stay was not for substance abuse.

Advertisement

“Yes, I sought help at a facility,” Paul explained, saying she recognized that she needed “extra help” and wanted time to reset.

The admission followed months of public vulnerability.

Back in February, The Blast reported that Paul had acknowledged she was “struggling” while sharing a candid look at her mental health.

By July, she was also reassessing strained relationships inside MomTok. Paul acknowledged trust issues and suggested that the pressure she was experiencing had affected her reactions to her castmates.

The timing makes Paul’s Season 6 confirmation particularly significant.

Season 5 of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” premieres September 10, and Hulu’s own description suggests Paul’s turbulent year will not disappear from the storyline.

The streamer says Paul returns from “The Bachelorette” with “unfinished business,” while fame, secrets, backlash, and questions about loyalty threaten to fracture MomTok.

Page Six also reports there is still “a lot of hurt” within the cast, with Paul feeling that some of the women did not support her throughout the recent turmoil.

ABC and Disney may now be backing her return, but Paul is hardly walking into an uncomplicated redemption story.

CBS’ Fall Lineup Is Officially Getting One Massive Sneak Peek

Published

on

0383007_poster_w780-1.jpg

Fall is officially less than three weeks away, which means the return of network television is close at hand. All the major networks have unveiled their full schedules for the coming 2026-27 season, and the dates are set for the annual mix of new and returning shows that will grace the airwaves as the leaves turn brown. For CBS, it will largely be business as usual. 14 shows are continuing with new seasons starting on Sunday, October 4, with two of the eye’s biggest draws — Marshals and Tracker — followed by favorites like the NCIS, FBI, and Fire Country franchises, Elsbeth, Boston Blue, and more. However, things have been shaken up somewhat from where last season left off.

CBS will debut three new shows this fall, all of which come from some of the network’s most reliable creators. Elsbeth and The Good Wife duo Robert and Michelle King have a reunion with Evil star Mike Colter in store for Thursday nights in the form of the Silicon Valley legal drama, Cupertino, taking the place of Matlock, which returns for Season 3 during the midseason. Also being saved for the winter is Ghosts, giving way for Joe Port and Joe Wiseman‘s new vampire-centric comedy, Eternally Yours, starring Allegra Edwards and Ed Weeks. Most exciting for NCIS fans, meanwhile, is the introduction of NCIS: New York, bringing LL COOL J back to the franchise as Sam Hanna to lead a new team in his hometown with a new partner in Scott Caan. With all the changes and excitement surrounding the return of CBS’ original programming, the curtain will soon be pulled for an early peek at all the stories coming next month.

On Thursday, September 10, the Paramount-owned network will debut a half-hour CBS Fall First Look special at 9 p.m. ET/PT, going over the entire fall slate. It’ll consist of a treasure trove of exclusive sneak peeks from the coming premiere, as well as behind-the-scenes looks into how these programs, from the procedurals to the comedies, come together every year. No further details of the special were shared, but this may give viewers their best impression yet of the three new series that will look to establish themselves as CBS staples.

Advertisement

You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.

You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.

You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.

You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.

CBS Has One More New Series Planned to Arrive in 2027

In addition to its three new shows airing this fall, CBS has also ordered a fourth, Einstein, that’ll have a midseason premiere. Criminal Minds alum Matthew Gray Gubler is set to lead as the titular Lewis Einstein, the great-grandson of renowned physicist Albert Einstein who is as brilliant as he is directionless and unambitious. Content to continue with his cushy job as a tenured professor, his antics finally catch up with him and land him in legal hot water, where he’s pressed to help a local homicide detective (Melissa Fumero) unravel Boston’s most confusing cases and, maybe, reform the institution from the ground up. The lightly comedic crime procedural hails from executive producers Randy Fisk and Monk creator Andy Breckman.

The CBS Fall First Look special will air on Thursday, September 10 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, less than a month before CBS’ premiere week starting October 4. Stay tuned here at Collider for more on the network’s shows until then.

The 6 Most Perfect Action Movies Released Since 2010, Ranked

Published

on

Still from the movie Rurouni Kenshin Part II- Kyoto Inferno

Action movies have always been cinema’s staple. The movies in this genre have the power to entertain audiences from all around the world. The most memorable ones are those with spectacular set pieces that involve intricate action choreography, gun fights and explosions. In the mid to late 2000s, there were several influential action movies, such as Batman Begins, Casino Royale and The Bourne Ultimatum, which changed the landscape forever.

Nevertheless, the innovation does not stop there. Since 2010, the genre has produced some remarkably polished films that combine thrilling action with great characters, sharp storytelling, inventive choreography, and confident direction. Here, we take a look at the action movies that we can call perfect, where every element works in harmony, creating a thoroughly exceptional actioner.

‘Rurouni Kenshin’ (2012)

Rurouni Kenshin follows Himura Kenshin (Takeru Satoh), a former legendary assassin who has vowed not to kill anymore and now wanders the country as a swordsman determined to protect people. He arrives in Tokyo, and he meets Kaoru Kamiya (Emi Takei), owner of a struggling swordsmanship school. When a ruthless businessman tries to take over the city through an opium operation and an army of fighters, Kenshin’s promise is repeatedly tested.

Rurouni Kenshin is, almost without a doubt, the best live-action anime adaptation to date. It is also a criminally underseen action masterpiece. The film translates the over-the-top swordplay of its source material into spectacular action choreography that still feels grounded and physical. Kenshin’s movement is outrageously fast but with practical effects and wirework, they never feel weightless. Kenshin’s reversed-blade sword also adds to the thrills. Its period setting and dynamic camera work are additional points in this exceptional film. The success of this film spawned four sequels, and they all keep getting better with each film.

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ (2022)

In Top Gun: Maverick, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is curiously still a test pilot after decades of a legendary career. He is brought back to Top Gun to train an elite group of young pilots for a seemingly impossible mission. Among the pilots is Rooster (Miles Teller), the son of Maverick’s late wingman, whom Maverick feels protective about.

The 2010s and 2020s have been inundated with so many legacy sequels, yet only a few actually justified their existence. One of them is this sequel to Tony Scott‘s Top Gun. The mixture of practical effects and CGI in the aerial sequences is widely praised. However, the real hero of the story is its plot and characters. The film spends considerable time establishing relationships and giving the mission emotional stakes before unleashing its action. The film do so with so much care that you know the characters even though you may not have seen the first movie. The film’s third act is a massive payoff for all the plotlines that came before. The action is thrilling and immersive, especially when seen in IMAX. The film became one of the few post-pandemic success stories, with its box office reaching the $1 billion mark.

‘The Raid 2’ (2014)

Set just minutes after the first film, The Raid 2 follows Rama (Iko Uwais), who is given a new assignment to infiltrate the criminal underworld and get close to Uco (Arifin Putra), the ambitious son of a crime boss. After deliberately getting himself sent to prison, he enters the sprawling underworld of Jakarta and fights his way to finish his mission.

The Raid is an iconic action film, but The Raid 2 is a bigger and richer film. The plot of this film is more ambitious, with a boatload of characters surrounding Uwais’ Rama. Gareth Evans smartly levels up after the success of the first film. It’s a riskier film, but it still has all the elements of the first film. The fight sequences are extraordinary. With a clean presentation and minimal cuts, every fight becomes so memorable. The prison-yard sequence, the elaborate car chase, and the climactic confrontation all have completely different rhythms and visual identities. It’s a highly satisfying sequel, and it’s mind-boggling that we do not have a third film after this achievement.

‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’ (2018)

In Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his trusted team attempt to recover lost plutonium used by a radical group called the Apostles. Now operating under the watchful CIA operative August Walker (Henry Cavill), the team has to work with shadowy figures like The White Widow (Vanessa Kirby) and their previous adversary Solomon Lane (Sean Harris) to stop The Apostles’ attack in major cities.

Often dubbed as the best entry in the eight-film Mission: Impossible franchise, the film fires on all cylinders in every aspects from production to its insane stunt design. At this point, if the film’s stunts do not endanger Tom Cruise’s life, it’s not a Mission: Impossible film. Thankfully, there are plenty of death-defying, practical stunts in this film, from the HALO jump, the Paris motorcycle chase, to the helicopter sequence in the climax. The ensemble cast that includes Cavill, Rebecca Ferguson, Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames, all play pivotal parts in this film. Add all that with the film’s efficient pacing and surprises, Fallout is one of the best action blockbusters ever made.

Collider Exclusive · Action Hero Quiz
Which Action Hero Would Be
Your Perfect Partner?

Rambo · James Bond · Indiana Jones · John McClane · Ethan Hunt
Advertisement

Five legends. Five completely different ways of getting out alive — with style, with muscle, with charm, with luck, or with a plan so intricate it probably shouldn’t work. Ten questions will reveal which action hero was built to have your back.

🎖️Rambo

🍸James Bond

🏺Indiana Jones

🔧John McClane

Advertisement

🎭Ethan Hunt

Advertisement

01

You’re dropped into a dangerous situation with no warning. What do you need most from a partner?
The first few seconds tell you everything about who belongs beside you.





Advertisement

02

You have to get somewhere dangerous, fast. How do you travel?
How you get there is half the mission.





Advertisement

03

You’re pinned down and outnumbered. What does your ideal partner do?
This is when you find out what someone is really made of.





Advertisement

04

The mission is paused. You have one evening to decompress. What does your partner suggest?
Who someone is when the pressure drops is who they actually are.





Advertisement

05

How do you prefer your partner to communicate mid-mission?
Good communication is the difference between partners and a liability.





Advertisement

06

Your enemy is powerful, well-resourced, and has the upper hand. How should your partner approach them?
The approach to the enemy defines the partnership.





Advertisement

07

Things go badly wrong and you’re captured. What do you trust your partner to do?
Who someone is when you need them most is the only thing that matters.





Advertisement

Advertisement

09

Advertisement

10

It’s the final moment. Everything is on the line. What do you need from your partner right now?
The last question is the most honest one.





Advertisement
Your Partner Has Been Assigned
Your Perfect Partner Is…

Your answers have pointed to one action hero above all others. This is the person built to have your back — for better or considerably, spectacularly worse.

Rambo

Advertisement

Your partner doesn’t talk much, doesn’t need to, and will have assessed every threat in your immediate environment before you’ve finished your first sentence. John Rambo is not a man of plans or politics — he is a force of nature shaped by survival, loyalty, and a capacity for endurance that goes beyond anything training can produce. He will not leave you behind. He has never left anyone behind who deserved to come home. What you get with Rambo is the most capable, most quietly ferocious partner imaginable — one who has been through things that would have broken anyone else, and who chose to keep going anyway. You’ll never need to ask if he has your back. You’ll just know.

James Bond

Your partner will arrive perfectly dressed, perfectly briefed, and with a cover story so convincing it’ll take you a moment to remember what’s actually true. James Bond is the most professionally dangerous person in any room he enters — and the most disarmingly charming, which is the point. He operates in a world of layers, where nothing is what it appears and every advantage is used without apology. You’ll never be bored. You’ll occasionally be furious. But when it matters — when the mission is genuinely on the line and the margin for error has collapsed to nothing — Bond is exactly the partner you want. He has survived things that have no business being survivable. He does it with style. That is not nothing.

Advertisement

Indiana Jones

Your partner will know the history, the language, the cultural context, and exactly why the thing everyone else is ignoring is actually the most important thing in the room. Indiana Jones is brilliant, reckless, and occasionally impossible — but he is also one of the most resourceful, most genuinely knowledgeable partners you could find yourself beside. He approaches every situation with a scholar’s eye and a brawler’s instinct, which is an unusual combination and a remarkably effective one. He hates snakes and gets personally attached to objects of historical significance, both of which will slow you down at least once. It doesn’t matter. What Indy brings is irreplaceable — and the adventures you’ll have together will be the kind people write books about. Assuming you survive them.

Advertisement

John McClane

Your partner was not supposed to be here. He does not have the right equipment, the right information, or anything approaching the right odds. He has a sarcastic remark and an absolute refusal to accept that the situation is as bad as it looks. John McClane is the greatest accidental hero in the history of action cinema — a man whose superpower is stubbornness, whose contingency plan is improvisation, and whose capacity to absorb punishment and keep moving would be alarming if it weren’t so useful. He will complain the entire time. He will make it significantly more chaotic than it needed to be. And he will absolutely, unconditionally, without question come through when it counts. Yippee-ki-yay.

Ethan Hunt

Advertisement

Your partner has already run seventeen scenarios by the time you’ve finished reading the briefing, and the plan he’s settled on involves at least two things that should be physically impossible. Ethan Hunt operates at the absolute edge of human capability — technically, physically, and intellectually — and he brings the same relentless precision to protecting his partners that he brings to dismantling organisations that shouldn’t exist. He is not easy to know and he will never fully tell you everything. But he will carry the weight of the mission so completely, so absolutely, that your job is simply to trust him — and the remarkable thing is that trusting him always turns out to be the right call. The mission will be impossible. He will complete it anyway.

‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ (2023)

John Wick: Chapter 4 sees John Wick’s (Keanu Reeves) attempt to escape the High Table reach its final stage. Marquis Vincent de Gramont (Bill Skarsgård) is given authority to eliminate the Baba Yaga once and for all. His journey takes him from New York to Osaka, Berlin, and eventually Paris, where he must survive waves of assassins, including his friend-turned-foe Caine (Donnie Yen), before earning his chance at a fateful duel.

Advertisement

The first John Wick film changed the action genre when it was released in 2014. After two sequels that keep upping the ante, John Wick Chapter 4 ends the titular character’s journey with a bang. The action sequences in this film are different from one another, and that makes for an exciting action film. The Osaka Continental fight emphasizes martial arts and gunplay, the Berlin sequence is a neverending nightclub chaos, the Paris Arc de Triomphe set piece turns the iconic landmark into a dynamic battlefield, and the overhead action sequence brings a video-game-like sequence to life. At nearly three hours, the movie never feels like it is wasting time and that’s why it’s arguably the best action film of the 2020s.

1

‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ (2015)

The Doof Warrior playing his custom guitar in Mad Max: Fury Road - 2015

In Mad Max: Fury Road, drifter Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy) is captured by warlord Immortan Joe’s (Hugh Keays-Byrne) fanatical minions and is kept alive as a blood bag. At the same time, Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) rebels against Immortan by escaping with his five wives to find the fabled Green Place. Max becomes an unwilling participant in this conflict and eventually fights alongside Furiosa against the tyrants of the wasteland.

Advertisement

Director George Miller returns to the world he created in 1979, and it feels like he left. The film’s deceptively simple premise packs an advanced level of filmmaking and control. The geography of each sequence is exceptionally clear, so even during the most chaotic moments, we understand what’s happening. The seamless mix of practical effects and CGI gives the film a tactile quality that modern blockbusters often struggle to replicate, and its effective editing enhances its pacing. More importantly, the action is inseparable from the characters, especially with Furiosa, who immediately becomes an icon. The film’s greatness is evidenced by its massive haul at the Oscars, winning seven trophies in the ceremony.

‘NCIS’ Season 24 Officially Gives Tony DiNozzo a New Role

Published

on

Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo turning to look at something in NCIS: Tony & Ziva

Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) was one of the original members of the Major Case Response Team on NCIS, but he departed the team (and the series) back in 2016. Now, he’s headed back to the long-running procedural for a season-long arc, but what’s brought him back to the MCRT? We finally know the answer. Wisecracking ex-cop DiNozzo was the senior field agent for the MCRT under head honcho Leroy Gibbs (Mark Harmon) for thirteen seasons. For much of that time, he found himself romantically entangled with former Mossad agent Ziva David (Cote de Pablo); the two had a tempestuous relationship, much-beloved by the show’s fanbase, that seemingly ended with her death.

However, it eventually emerged that Ziva had faked their death and concealed that she’d had a daughter with DiNozzo; DiNozzo left the team to care for his newfound child. DiNozzo and David were reunited on the Paramount+-exclusive spin-off series, NCIS: Tony and Ziva, in 2025; it was cancelled after a single season.

CBS has now revealed the synopsis for NCIS‘ season 24 premiere, “Warward Son,” which will bring DiNozzo back into the fold; it will also wrap up the explosive cliffhanger from season 23’s finale, which saw Mateo Garcia (Patrick Keleher), the son of NCIS second-in command Timoth McGee (Sean Murray), get shot by a mystery assailant: “While dealing with the fallout from the shooting involving McGee’s son, the team investigates a mysterious new threat to the Secretary of the Navy and receives help from an unexpected source: Tony DiNozzo, newly arrived in D.C. to open a satellite office of his private security firm.” “Wayward Son” will premiere on CBS on Tuesday, October 6, and will stream on Paramount+ the next day.

Collider Exclusive · Taylor Sheridan Universe Quiz
Which Taylor Sheridan
Show Do You Belong In?

Yellowstone · Landman · Tulsa King · Mayor of Kingstown

Four worlds. All of them brutal, complicated, and built on power, loyalty, and the price of survival. Taylor Sheridan doesn’t write heroes — he writes people who do what they have to do and live with the cost. Ten questions will reveal which one of his worlds you were made for.

🤠Yellowstone

🛢️Landman

👑Tulsa King

⚖️Mayor of Kingstown

01

Where does your power come from?
In Sheridan’s world, everyone has leverage. The question is what kind.




Advertisement

02

Who do you put first, no matter what?
Loyalty in Sheridan’s universe is always absolute — and always costly.




Advertisement

03

Someone crosses a line. How do you respond?
Every Sheridan protagonist has a line. What matters is what happens after it’s crossed.




Advertisement

04

Where do you feel most in your element?
Sheridan’s worlds are as much about place as they are about people.




Advertisement

05

How do you feel about operating in the grey?
Nobody in a Sheridan show has clean hands. The question is how they carry the dirt.




Advertisement

06

What are you actually fighting to hold onto?
Every Sheridan character is fighting a war. The real question is what they’re defending.




Advertisement

07

How do you lead?
Authority in Sheridan’s world is never given — it’s established, maintained, and constantly tested.




Advertisement

08

Someone new arrives and tries to change how things work. Your reaction?
Every Sheridan show has an outsider disrupting an established order. Sometimes that outsider is you.




Advertisement

09

What has your position cost you?
Nobody gets to where these characters are without paying for it. The bill is always personal.




Advertisement

10

When it’s over, what do you want people to say?
Sheridan’s characters all know the ending is coming. The question is what they leave behind.

Sheridan Has Spoken
You Belong In…

The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.

Fans hoping for another Tony and Ziva reunion will be disappointed. While Tony and Ziva haven’t broken up, de Pablo won’t be joining Weatherly on the show this season. NCIS showrunner Steven D. Binder explains that their daughter, Tali, is attending boarding school elsewhere in the United States, and Ziva is living closer to her. That’ll separate her from MCRT’s home base in Washington, D.C., for the season.

Season 24 of NCIS will premiere on Tuesday, October 6. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.

13 Under-$50 Wrap Dresses That Magically Slim the Waist

13 Under-$50 Wrap Dresses That Magically Slim the Waist

Us has affiliate partnerships. We receive compensation when you click on a link and make a purchase. Learn more!

If there’s one dress shape I come back to season after season, it’s the wrap dress. I love how it creates an hourglass effect. This flattering style defines my waist, then drapes freely over my stomach and hips.

As the seasons change, I hunted down the best under-$50 wrap dresses. I kept both style and silhouette in mind while curating these 13 picks below. Shop expensive-looking prints, fall-ready colors and wedding guest-worthy maxis, each with details that help visually define my waist.

13 Under-$50 Wrap Dresses That Visually Cinch the Waist

1. My Favorite: If I want my waist to look instantly more defined, I reach for this floral wrap midi dress. The adjustable tie pulls everything in, while the flutter sleeves and swishy ruffled hem make the silhouette feel extra feminine.

2. Figure Flatterer: I’m sold on this ruffled V-neck midi for its waist-defining tie and floaty A-line skirt. Plus, it has more than 10,700 five-star ratings, with one shopper calling it “forgiving, slimming, and flattering.”

3. Instant Hourglass: I love the contrast between the fitted middle and floaty skirt on this belted black mini. The wrap design lets me cinch the waist to my liking, while the V-neck and ruffled hem help create a balanced hourglass shape.

4. No Shapewear Needed: I’d choose this flowy Swiss dot dress when I want a flattering shape without squeezing myself into something bodycon. The tie creates a defined waist, while the textured fabric and ruffled skirt skim rather than cling.

5. Transitional Pick: This waist-defining floral maxi is exactly the kind of dress I want in my closet when the seasons start changing. I love that I can adjust the wrap to flatter my waist, while the darker floral print makes it easy to style well into fall.

Advertisement

6. Flirty Find: I’d wear this sage green ruffled dress for everything from brunch to date night. The V-neck and flutter sleeves balance out the cinched wrap waist, while the flouncy skirt keeps the overall fit breezy rather than body-hugging.

7. Optical Illusion: The vertical stripes on this breezy wrap maxi create a lengthening effect, while the crossover waist visually cinches the middle for even more shape.

8. Polka-Dot Pick: I love how this polka-dot maxi dress makes a statement without feeling overly trendy. The wrap front and tie belt pull in my waist, while the long, floaty skirt skims over everything below it.

9. Waist Wow: The contrast between the bold pattern and defined middle of this graphic-print maxi immediately caught my attention. It emphasizes the waist before flowing into a long, loose skirt that doesn’t hug my stomach.

Advertisement

10. Ruching Rules: I’m all about strategic ruching, and this army green midi puts it exactly where I want it. The wide, gathered waistband visually pulls in the middle, while the loose A-line skirt flows away from my stomach and hips.

11. Legs for Days: I’d reach for this long-sleeve mini when I want to balance a little extra coverage up top with plenty of leg. The wrap front pulls attention toward the waist, while the ruffled hem adds movement without clinging to my hips.

12. Belly Camouflage: I’m reaching for this flowy printed maxi on days when I don’t want anything highlighting my stomach. The bold pattern helps disguise the midsection.

13. Flattering Floral: The tiny print on this belted red maxi is exactly the kind of floral I can wear well beyond summer. I especially love how the defined waist breaks up the long silhouette and gives shape through the middle.

At the same time, favorites of the macabre, like Sam Raimi and up-and-comer Damian McCarthy, also returned with their new projects, Send Help and Hokum, and long-running franchises have been graced with new entries, from 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple to Insidious: Out of the Further. With so much to watch, there will be plenty to catch up on or revisit when spooky season begins next month.

Paramount+ is already preparing for the occasion with the return of its annual Peak Screaming collection. This year, the streaming service isn’t waiting until the leaves turn, announcing today all the terrifying titles that will be available throughout September and October for subscribers looking for a scare. It’s already the home to some major horror staples, including the Scream, A Quiet Place, Paranormal Activity, Pet Sematary, and Scary Movie franchises, but the event will also feature other goodies throughout the season. Kicking things off today is the arrival of the recent Scary Movie revival and its extended cut, bringing back the Wayans Brothers with new horror parodies from Sinners to Ma and Weapons.

Peak Screaming’s return also coincides with the return of serial killer Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) for Dexter: Resurrection Season 2. Premiering in October, the series will see Dexter picking up where he left off after dispatching with Prater’s (Peter Dinklage) murder club. He’s not just caught between two terrifying serial killers, but also his own midlife crisis, all while his son, Harrison (Jack Alcott), continues his own campaign of justice. For this chapter, Hall will be joined by some big new names, including Dan Stevens, Brian Cox, Nona Parker Johnson, and Bokeem Woodbine, as well as some prominent returning ones like Uma Thurman and Krysten Ritter as Lady Vengeance.

Which Horror Villain Do You Have the Best Chance of Surviving?
Jason Voorhees · Michael Myers · Freddy Krueger · Pennywise · Chucky

Five killers. Five completely different ways to die — if you’re not smart enough, fast enough, or self-aware enough to avoid it. Only one of them is the villain your particular set of instincts gives you a fighting chance against. Eight questions will figure out which one.

🏕️Jason

🔪Michael

💤Freddy

🎈Pennywise

🪆Chucky

Advertisement

01

Something feels wrong. You can’t explain it — you just know. What do you do?
First instincts are the difference between the survivor and the first act casualty.





Advertisement

02

Where are you most likely to find yourself when things go wrong?
Setting is everything in horror. Where you are determines which rules apply.





Advertisement

03

What is your most reliable survival asset?
Every survivor has a quality the villain didn’t account for. What’s yours?





Advertisement

04

What kind of fear is hardest for you to fight through?
Knowing your weakness is the first step to not dying because of it.





Advertisement

05

You’re with a group when things start going wrong. What’s your role?
Horror movies are brutally clear about who survives group situations and who doesn’t.





Advertisement

06

What’s the horror movie mistake you’re most likely to make?
Honest self-assessment is a survival skill. Denial is not.





Advertisement

07

What’s your best weapon against something that can’t be stopped by conventional means?
Every horror villain has a weakness. The survivors are always the ones who find it.

08

It’s the final scene. You’re the last one standing. How did you make it?
The final survivor always has a reason. What’s yours?

Your Survival Odds Have Been Calculated
Your Best Chance Is Against…

Your instincts, your strengths, and your particular way of thinking under pressure point to one villain you actually have a fighting chance against. Everyone else — good luck.

Advertisement


Camp Crystal Lake · Friday the 13th

Jason Voorhees

Jason is relentless, but he is also predictable — and that is the gap you would exploit.

Advertisement
  • He moves in straight lines toward his target. He doesn’t strategise, doesn’t adapt, doesn’t outsmart. He simply pursues.
  • Your ability to keep moving, use the environment, and resist the panic that freezes most victims gives you a genuine edge.
  • The Crystal Lake survivors were always the ones who stopped running in circles and started thinking about terrain, water, and distance.
  • You think like that. Which means Jason, for all his indestructibility, would face someone who simply refused to be where he expected.


Haddonfield, Illinois · Halloween

Michael Myers

Michael watches before he moves. He is patient, methodical, and almost impossible to detect — until it’s too late for anyone who isn’t paying close enough attention.

Advertisement
  • But you are paying attention. You notice the shape in the window, the car parked slightly wrong, the silence where there should be sound.
  • Michael’s power lies in the invisibility of ordinary suburbia — the fact that nothing ever looks wrong until it already is.
  • Your spatial awareness and instinct to map every room, every exit, and every shadow before you need them is precisely the quality Laurie Strode had.
  • You are not a victim waiting to happen. You are someone who already suspects something is wrong — and acts on it.


Elm Street · A Nightmare on Elm Street

Freddy Krueger

Freddy wins by getting inside your head — using your own fears, your own memories, your own subconscious as weapons against you. That strategy requires a target who can be destabilised.

Advertisement
  • You are harder to destabilise than most. You’ve faced uncomfortable truths about yourself and you haven’t looked away.
  • The survivors on Elm Street were always the ones who understood what was happening and chose to face it rather than flee from it.
  • Freddy’s greatest weakness is that his power evaporates in the presence of someone who refuses to give him the fear he feeds on.
  • Your psychological resilience — the ability to stay grounded when reality itself becomes unreliable — is exactly the quality that keeps you alive here.


Derry, Maine · It

Pennywise

Pennywise is ancient, shapeshifting, and feeds on terror — but it has one critical vulnerability: it cannot function against someone who genuinely stops being afraid of it.

Advertisement
  • The Losers Club didn’t survive because they were braver than everyone else. They survived because they faced their fears together, and faced them honestly.
  • You ask the questions others avoid. You look directly at what frightens you rather than turning away.
  • That directness — the refusal to let fear fester in the dark — is Pennywise’s worst nightmare.
  • It chose the wrong target when it chose you. You are exactly the kind of person whose fear tastes like nothing at all.


Chicago · Child’s Play

Chucky

Chucky’s greatest advantage is that nobody takes him seriously until it’s already too late. He exploits the gap between how something looks and what it actually is.

Advertisement
  • You don’t have that gap. You take threats seriously regardless of how they present — and you never make the mistake of underestimating something because of its size or appearance.
  • Chucky relies on surprise, on the delay between recognition and response. You close that delay faster than almost anyone.
  • Your instinct to treat every unfamiliar thing with appropriate scepticism — rather than dismissing it because it seems absurd — is the exact quality that keeps you breathing.
  • Against Chucky, not laughing is already winning. You are very good at not laughing.

Paramount+ Reveals All the Movies Streaming in Time for Halloween

The beginning of September already brought a wealth of horror titles to Paramount+, including the aforementioned Pet Sematary films, several Stephen King titles, and other classics like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Event Horizon, and Seven. October, however, has a few more heavy hitters for all ages coming at the beginning of the month. Mike Flanagan‘s acclaimed King adaptation and The Shining follow-up, Doctor Sleep, will join the streamer’s library, alongside the modern classic It Follows, David Cronenberg‘s body horror hit Crimes of the Future, and Bong Joon-Ho‘s historic Best Picture winner, Parasite, among others. For younger audiences, the first two Hotel Transylvania films will also be available to get in on the spooky fun.

Finally, on the more comedic end, CBS will have not one, but two more spooky contributions to the Paramount+ lineup with the new Ghosts two-part Halloween special and the premiere of Eternally Yours from the creators behind the paranormal hit comedy. While the former is shifting mostly to mid-season for Season 6, the return to Woodstone Manor for the spooky holiday on October 29 will pick up from Season 5’s cliffhanger that saw Pete (Richie Moriarty) fully disappear after a mission across the pond to save the bed and breakfast. Eternally Yours will help fill the gap on Thursdays starting on October 8, centering on couple Charles (Ed Weeks) and Liz (Allegra Edwards), the heads of a coven of vampires who are struggling to accept their daughter’s new human boyfriend while wrestling with the loss of passion in their own relationship after over 500 years together.

Paramount+’s Peak Screaming collection is now available and will have plenty more spooky titles to add once the calendar flips over to October. Stay tuned here at Collider for more on everything coming to the streamer throughout the season.

How Olivia Dunne And Paul Skenes Make Time For Each Other

Dunne and Skenes both have busy schedules, but despite that, they always find ways to make their relationship work. During an interview with PEOPLE, the former LSU Tiger opened up about how they combat long distance.

“Honestly, I don’t think we have any rules,” Dunne shared. “I just think being super present with one another while you’re together, while you have that time together, is super important.”

She continued, “I mean, he makes time to come to my events. I make time to go watch him pitch. I try to make every start I can.”

Being Supportive Of Each Other

College Sweethearts

In 2025, Dunne discussed what else works for their relationship.

The Uncertain Fate of Tom Hardy’s ‘MobLand’ Has Officially Been Decided

Published

on

abeh7n5pcuqcwyctxg6dtzvxlp1.jpg

The Harrigans have faced the most violent and explosive threats already. And it’s only been one season. MobLand turned Tom Hardy loose in the criminal underworld during its first season before expanding the family’s problems even further for Season 2, which hasn’t even premiered yet. But following speculation over the show’s future, particularly relating to Hardy, the path forward has just become clear.

Paramount+ has officially renewed MobLand for Season 3, with Hardy, Pierce Brosnan (GoldenEye), and Helen Mirren (1923) all confirmed to return. The surprisingly early renewal arrives more than two weeks before Season 2 premieres on September 18, so that’s a major vote of confidence before audiences have seen what comes next for the Harrigans.

Hardy will return as Harry Da Souza, the one man army who has found himself caught in the middle of the family’s increasingly dangerous problems, while Brosnan and Mirren will also reprise their roles as the demented Conrad and Maeve Harrigan, the patriarch and matriarch at the center of the criminal empire.

Advertisement

In season two, the Harrigans struggle to show a unified front as rising rivals threaten their fractured criminal empire – and Harry, their street-smart and formidable ‘fixer,’ must walk a dangerous tightrope when tensions within the family intensify. As violence spills into every corner of their lives, loyalties snap, safety proves temporary, and the battle for power leaves no room for mercy.

Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz
Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive?
The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars

Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.

💊The Matrix

🔥Mad Max

🌧️Blade Runner

🏜️Dune

🚀Star Wars

Advertisement

01

You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do?
The first instinct is often the truest one.





Advertisement

02

In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely?
What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.





Advertisement

03

What kind of threat keeps you up at night?
Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.





Advertisement

04

How do you deal with authority you don’t trust?
Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.





Advertisement

05

Which environment could you actually endure long-term?
Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.





Advertisement

06

Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart?
The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.





Advertisement

07

Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all?
Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.





Advertisement

08

What would actually make survival worth it?
Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.

Your Fate Has Been Calculated
You’d Survive In…

Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.

Advertisement


The Resistance, Zion

The Matrix
Advertisement

You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.

  • You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
  • You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
  • You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
  • The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.


The Wasteland

Mad Max
Advertisement

The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.

  • You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
  • You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
  • You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
  • In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.


Los Angeles, 2049

Blade Runner
Advertisement

You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.

  • You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
  • In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
  • You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
  • In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.


Arrakis

Dune
Advertisement

Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.

  • Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
  • You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
  • Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
  • In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.


A Galaxy Far, Far Away

Star Wars
Advertisement

The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.

  • You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
  • You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
  • You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
  • In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.

Who Stars in ‘MobLand’?

The second season will also bring back Paddy Considine (House of the Dragon), Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey), Lara Pulver (Sherlock), Anson Boon (Pistol), Mandeep Dhillon (After Life), Jasmine Jobson (Top Boy), Teddie Allen, and Emmett J. Scanlan (Peaky Blinders). Johnny Flynn, Ophelia Lovibond, Janet McTeer, and Toby Jones are also among the ensemble.

MobLand is commissioned by Paramount+ and produced in association with Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios. Hardy also serves as an executive producer alongside Guy Ritchie (The Gentlemen), David C. Glasser, Jez Butterworth, Ivan Atkinson, Dean Baker, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, and Keith Cox.

The early renewal means Paramount+ won’t have to leave viewers wondering about the show’s future as Season 2 unfolds. More importantly, with Hardy, Brosnan, and Mirren already locked in to return, whatever happens during the upcoming 10 episodes won’t mark the end of the Harrigans’ bloody fight for power.

MobLand Season 2 premieres September 18 on Paramount+, with Season 3 officially on the way.
