Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles won Us over when they played brothers on Supernatural — and they have remained booked and busy since The CW show came to an end.

Padalecki and Ackles played the monster-hunting duo from 2005 to 2020. After appearing in over 300 episodes of the hit series, Padalecki exclusively told Us Weekly that he felt he would “never really say goodbye” to his character.

“We really have become a family,” he said at the time about the journey. “Over 15 years, we’ve cut the fat. We didn’t fire anybody but if they didn’t like being there, they move on. So the people that are there want to be there.”

Ackles felt the same way, which inspired him to expand the Supernatural universe. (The Winchesters series ran from 2022 to 2023 and focused on Dean (Ackles) and Sam’s (Padalecki) parents in the ’70s.)

“It’s a long journey,” Ackles teased during a TV Critics’ Association press tour panel that same year. “I don’t think it’s ever going to be over. It’s just going to go away for a while. I don’t know how long.”

Outside of Supernatural, Padalecki and Ackles have scored a plethora of opportunities — some of which even allowed them to cross paths again with each other or their former costars. Keep scrolling for an extensive breakdown of their ongoing list of TV projects:

‘Walker’ Universe

Padalecki initially remained at The CW after wrapping up Supernatural. He was cast as the lead on the Walker, Texas Ranger reboot from 2020 to 2024, where he also served as executive producer. After Walker inspired the Walker: Independence prequel, Padalecki had an unnamed cameo in one episode.

Ackles, meanwhile, joined Walker as a director, but also scored a cameo in the role of Miles Vyas.

‘Fire Country’ Franchise

Season 3 of CBS’ hit series Fire Country introduced Padalecki as Camden Casey in a three-episode arc meant to set up a potential spinoff. Fire Country: Surfside would follow Padalecki as a California firefighter dealing with the aftermath of his brother’s death in the field.

CBS’ Fire Country isn’t just a show about inmates fighting fires — there’s an impressive guest star list as well. The show, which premiered in 2022, follows Bode (Max Thieriot) as he gets a chance to shorten his prison sentence by volunteering for the California Conservation Camp Program. Bode gets assigned to his hometown where […]

‘The Boys’

Ackles’ role as Soldier Boy on The Boys was a shocking departure for those of Us who loved him as Dean on Supernatural. The shakeup, however, paved the way for Ackles to score his own prequel series titled Vought Rising — and a guest spot on the Gen V spinoff.

Padalecki joined in on the fun with a role in the fifth and final season alongside Misha Collins. The opportunity reunites Padalecki with Ackles and creator Eric Kripke, who was part of Supernatural before coming onboard The Boys.

Unnamed Medical Drama

After working with showrunner Anna Fricke on Walker, Padalecki reunited with her on an untitled series for CBS about a headstrong country doctor practicing a unique style of improvisational medicine. The show is in development as part of Padalecki’s ongoing first-look deal and CBS officially opened a writers’ room to further develop the show in late 2025.

‘Big Sky’

A guest role in season 2 led to Ackles joining the main cast of Big Sky as Beau Arlen alongside Reba McEntire.

Patrick J. Adams finally has his hands on some of Meghan Markle’s famous jam.

Posting via Instagram on Thursday, April 9, Adams shared that his former Suits costar, 44, sent him her famous As Ever collection after he admitted he missed out the first time she sent out the jam.

Adams, 44, shared a closeup photo of five As Ever branded jams, including orange marmalade, raspberry spread and strawberry spread.

“Worth the wait! Thank you @meghan for the deliciousness,” Adams captioned the post.

Meghan Markle and Patrick J. Adams sparked a close bond after costarring as love interests — twice. Some fans may not realize that the actors were originally paired for a 2008 pilot titled Good Behavior. “I think when we worked together the first time [on Good Behavior], there was this uncomfortable, getting to know each […]

The actor also thanked Amanda Hirsch’s podcast “Not Skinny But Not Fat” for “helping raise awareness about my jamlessness.”

During his appearance on the podcast on March 31, Adams admitted he “did not get a jam” after Meghan launched the product despite playing her love interest on Suits for seven seasons.

“I didn’t get anything,” he joked. “I don’t have enough followers, I don’t think.”

Podcast host Hirsch, 37, disclosed she had received jam from the Duchess of Sussex and was treating it as treasure that could not be taken out of its original packaging.

“You’re treating it like a champagne?” Adams asked. “It’s gonna go bad,” he added. “How long do preserves last? It’s going to go bad.”

Two days after the podcast episode was released Meghan reacted to Adams’ remarks about his lack of jam via the comments section on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast’s Instagram page.

“Jam’s en route for you @patrickjadams & @sleepinthegardn,” Meghan wrote, tagging the actor and his wife, Troian Bellisario, while promising to send the product to him.

Meghan also mentioned other members of her former costar’s family in the comment.

“Hugs to those beautiful babies. Send my love to your mom ❤️,” Meghan wrote, referencing Adam and Bellisario’s three daughters, Aurora, 7, Elliot, 4, and Imogen, 2 months, as well as the actor’s mother.

Prior to marrying Prince Harry in 2018, Meghan starred on Suits where she played Rachel Zane, who was the main love interest of Adams’ character Mike Ross. Both actors departed the legal drama in season 7, which aired in 2018.

Meghan’s jam was the first product the company teased back when it was named American Riviera Orchard in early 2024.

Meghan sent out personalized jars of jam to 50 of her famous friends, including Abigail Spencer, Chrissy Teigen, Kris Jenner and Mindy Kaling.

In an episode of Meghan’s Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, Kaling said receiving the jam was “one of the most glamorous moments of my life.”

Kaling also pointed out that the jam jars had numbers on them, prompting her to wonder whether there was a ranking system when it came to who received them and in which order.

“As a very hierarchical person, I was like, who are these people?” Kaling, who received jar number 19 of 50, said on the show. “Does having a lower number make me more special?”

As one of the most powerful figures in modern TV, Ryan Murphy has created a slate of genre-defining shows that consistently dominate both ratings and the cultural conversation. This year alone has already seen the release of the sci-fi body horror The Beauty and the biographical romance anthology Love Story, both of which have earned generally favorable responses from critics and audiences alike. That’s not all from Murphy in 2026, however, as his biggest fantasy series is set to return this fall after a lengthy wait, much to the excitement of longtime fans.

Having last aired in 2024, American Horror Story is back in production in New York City with some fan-favorites confirmed to return for the show’s 13th run. While primarily described as a horror anthology, the series has long incorporated elements of fantasy and the supernatural, including witchcraft, demons, vampires, and ghosts. The new season was originally expected to premiere on Halloween, October 31, 2026; however, as Murphy recently teased on Instagram, American Horror Story Season 13 may arrive sooner than anticipated.

The 13th installment of the iconic horror series turns its gaze back to Miss Robichaux’s Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies. About 24 hours ago, Murphy made the announcement, revealing the show’s return window and confirming Sarah Paulson‘s return as Cordelia Goode. “AHS 13,” the iconic director wrote. “The Return of @mssarahcatharinepaulson as Cordelia Goode. The Supreme Rises. And yes, we have rebuilt the entire Robichaux Academy. Coming this September.”

Who Stars in ‘American Horror Story’ Season 13?

Last Halloween, Murphy revealed the cast list for the highly anticipated Season 13 on Instagram, and, as American Horror Story fans know, it is similar to that of the Coven and Apocalypse seasons. The cast list includes Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, Leslie Grossman, new addition Ariana Grande, and, surprisingly, Jessica Lange. Lange, in a February 2025 interview, claimed she would not return to the series; however, on April 6, 2026, Murphy posted first-look photos of the actress dolled up like Constance Langdon, standing in front of the window of her beloved Murder House. The Instagram post’s caption read: “American Horror Story, Season 13. Day One. The return of Jessica Lange!”

American Horror Story returns this year with Season 13. You can see the first look image of Paulson above and the other posts with Roberts and Lange on Ryan Murphy’s official Instagram page. Stick with Collider for the latest entertainment updates.

Of all the characters that deserve the chance of a second adaptation in HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series, Sirius Black is high on many people’s lists. It will be at least two years until we first see how the series chooses to reinvent one of the most intricate characters in the novels, with the movies unable to dedicate enough time to his brief, three-book run. Of course, Black was played in the movies by the great Gary Oldman, and remains one of his more memorable cinematic performances.

However, the peak of Oldman’s career came after his time in the Wizarding World, when he finally took home the Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of British wartime prime minister Winston Churchill in director Joe Wright‘s Darkest Hour. One of six nominations the film earned at the 90th Academy Awards, Darkest Hour also picked up a second prize for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, awarded to Kazuhiro Tsuji, David Malinowski, and Lucy Sibbick. Set in the early days of World War II, the film follows Oldman’s newly appointed prime minister as he faces the tough decision to either negotiate with the opposition or forge a legacy for himself that will be remembered forever.

At the box office, Darkest Hour was a huge success, no doubt thanks to the positive discourse around Oldman’s lead performance. Against a reported budget of $30 million, the movie grossed a huge $150 million worldwide, split between a $56 million domestic haul and $94 million from overseas markets. Almost a decade since the film’s theatrical debut, anyone looking to watch this WWII biopic will have to hurry, as Darkest Hour is officially leaving Netflix on May 1, 2026.

How Did Critics React to ‘Darkest Hour’?

The years since its Academy Awards success haven’t been kind to Darkest Hour, due mainly to many thinking it was chosen to win Oscars in the place of more deserving nominees. However, at the time it was released, Darkest Hour was nothing short of a critical darling. Scoring a “certified fresh” rating of 84% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the consensus from critics on the site reads, “Darkest Hour is held together by Gary Oldman’s electrifying performance, which brings Winston Churchill to life even when the movie’s narrative falters.”

Darkest Hour is set to leave Netflix on May 1, 2026. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for all the latest streaming stories.

Paulina Porizkova is showing off her stunning figure in a vibrant red bikini ahead of her 61st birthday.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, April 9, Porizkova flaunted her abs in the swimwear as she shared an empowering message about aging.

“I’m trying on this new super cute summer bikini and I’m reminded how far I’ve traveled in self-acceptance. I will be 61 tomorrow,” she said via the social media clip. “And I understand that this might sound crazy to you, but 40 years ago when I was 21 and when I was at the height of my career and supermodel-dom, that was when I felt the most insecure.”

Porizkova explained that there were several factors in her younger years that caused her to be insecure.

“[It was] partly because [of] the endless comparisons to other models by the people who employed me. I never seemed to be good enough,” she explained. “And of course, partly because my self-worth was entirely tied to my looks.”

Porizkova said she was leaving behind the insecurities to embrace her current age.

“So today I’m trying on this cute summer bikini and I flex muscles that I’ve been working my cellulite butt off for. And not necessarily so I can look best in this bikini, but to feel my best in this sixth decade,” she said.

She then joked, “You know, actually? Who am I kidding? I kicked my workout up like 10 notches because I do want to look my best this summer, but not necessarily in a bikini… in a wedding dress.”

Porizkova has often been candid about aging, beauty and body positivity via her social media posts.

Last month, Porizkova stripped down to lingerie for a shoot she shared via her Instagram, telling her followers that “good light and posing” is the secret to looking great.

“Smoke and mirrors, folks. That’s how you make it look good for a moment,” the model captioned the March 12 post. “The truth is, gravity takes its toll. But! Gravity has also built your strength so you can hold your head higher than ever.”

In July 2025, Porizkova shared another sizzling lingerie snap via her Instagram and spoke about the effort she’d put in to maintain her figure.

“This is 60 years of sometimes healthy eating, sometimes not,” she captioned the post. “60 years of sometimes working out, sometimes not. 60 years of doing the right things followed by doing the wrong things and over again and again.”

Porizkova added that she’s still learning things in life, even when she thinks she’s “figured” everything out.

She continued, “The beauty of 60 is that now I understand the importance is IN the lesson, not passing the exam.”

Mick Fleetwood is celebrating love once again, as he marries for the fifth time. The Fleetwood Mac drummer has been married four times before to three different women, with his last divorce finalized in 2015. Now, he appears to have found happiness again, embracing a new chapter with his longtime partner, Elizabeth Jordan.

Mick Fleetwood Married In Secret

Mick Fleetwood is celebrating his marriage to Elizabeth Jordan, sharing the news on social media. On March 28, the 78-year-old drummer took to Instagram to share a few snapshots, writing that he was enjoying his honeymoon in the South Pacific.

One of the photos shows the couple, who appeared to be dressed in their wedding attire, posing for a snapshot with Fleetwood concealing their faces from the camera with his fedora. In another photo, the newlyweds were captured mid-kiss, with Jordan’s back facing the camera. Two other photos showed the musician enjoying the view and the crystal blue waters.

It isn’t known when the wedding occurred, but as musician Mike Lawson revealed on Threads last year, as reported by the Daily Mail, they were engaged in March 2025. “Mick Fleetwood just texted and said he is marrying his girlfriend of five years, Elizabeth. How cool, finding love and making that commitment is beautiful. Congrats!” Lawson wrote.

The Couple Has Been Together Since 2023

According to reports, Fleetwood and Jordan have been together since 2023, making their relationship public at the Grammy Awards, where the drummer performed a tribute to her late Fleetwood Mac bandmate, Christine McVie, who died of a stroke in 2022.

Jordan is a licensed realtor based in Hawaii and owns a property management company with properties in New York, California, and Maui. Moreover, she serves as the director for the Mick Fleetwood Foundation, a non-profit organization that Fleetwood launched in 2023 to promote and fund music education in schools.

Mick Fleetwood Has Been Married Five Times

Fleetwood has had a well-documented romantic history, with the latest union with Jordan marking his fifth marriage.

His first wife was Jenny Boyd, whom he married in 1970 and divorced six years later. However, the couple reconciled briefly, marrying for a second time in 1977 and divorcing again in 1978. They share two daughters, Amy and Lucy.

Fleetwood had an affair with bandmate Stevie Nicks while he was married to Boyd, with the drummer describing that time as “very bright and crazy” in his 2014 memoir “Play On: Now, Then, and Fleetwood Mac.” Nicks also acknowledged the affair publicly, admitting that the song “Sara” was about Fleetwood.

In 1988, Fleetwood tied the knot with Sara Recor, who was one of Nicks’ closest friends. The drummer had an affair with Recor while he was with Nicks, which strained the friendship. However, the two later reconciled. Fleetwood and Recor divorced in 1995.

Fleetwood’s third wife was Lynn Frankel, marking his fourth marriage. They married in 1995 and welcomed twin daughters, Tessa and Ruby, in 2002. They separated in 2013, and their divorce was finalized in 2015.

Online Users React To Mick Fleetwood’s Fifth Marriage

Many fans were surprised to hear about Fleetwood’s marriage and expressed their reactions on social media.

“I don’t think there’s a reasonable limit for rock stars,” one wrote, noting the drummer’s fifth time getting married. “People who marry that many times are the ultimate optimists. Congrats to them,” another added. “Still a good looking man and she is very pretty. Best of luck to both of them,” one wrote.

“He will never break the chain,” one user commented, referencing Fleetwood Mac’s classic song, “The Chain.” “Fifth time lucky!” said another.

Fleetwood Mac Conquered The Music World

At a time when Netflix wasn’t taking risks, Altered Carbon had the makings of a sci-fi classic. Adapted from Richard Morgan’s book of the same name, the series showcases a cyberpunk future where the rich have become so powerful that not even death can stop them. This dark sci-fi series shows the worst-case scenario of how bodily autonomy can be disregarded — bodies are just flesh vessels to be used and discarded. Altered Carbon had a lot of potential, like so many Netflix series, but faded into purgatory. However, another show is just as relevant thematically while somehow being an even darker depiction of sci-fi.

Pivoting off the success of CD Projekt Red’s video game, Cyberpunk 2077, Netflix released an anime set in the same world. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners ran for 10 episodes and maintains all the hallmarks of the most emotionally traumatizing anime. With the use of animation, the series plumbs the depths of darkness that Altered Carbon could only dream of.

‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners’ is What Sci-Fi is All About

Just as Altered Carbon demonstrates the dangers of the uber-rich, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners wastes no time in showing the dystopian landscape of a world controlled by corporations. This is established early on in Cyberpunk 2077 when the protagonist V saves a woman wealthy enough to pay for the privatized Trauma Team, while others cannot. Even so, viewers don’t need to have played the game to understand Edgerunners, and in many ways, it hammers home the themes even better.

Edgerunners follows David Martinez, a poor teenager in Night City, a city run by corporations. His mother, Gloria, works as a paramedic, but that isn’t enough to help her son pull himself up by his bootstraps. David is looked down on at his private school because he can’t afford the upgrades to his school software. Things take a turn for the worse when Gloria is killed in a drive-by shooting, and their lack of funds directly impacts her quality of care.

In a thinly veiled criticism of capitalism, David’s only recourse is to become an Edgerunner. Arming himself with cybernetic upgrades, he becomes a mercenary for hire in a world that doesn’t accept anything but the ultrarich. As David tries to make his way in the world, he falls in with a found family, including Lucy, a netrunner.

David finds his place, but Night City is still unforgiving. Edgerunners makes no secret about its disdain for corporations and demonstrates how capitalism victimizes everyone. The series is a 10/10 when it comes to storytelling, but its animation is where the series really shines. Edgerunners benefits from the mesmerizing animation style as David goes through love, loss, and sacrifice. The visual beauty of the series accompanies the futile actions of the characters. As viewers fall in love with these nuanced people, they are all subjected to the inhumanity of living in Night City.

Edgerunners takes the fascinating lore of ripperdocs, cybernetic implants, and cyberpsychosis, elevating it beyond its original form. The first season is short and sweet, but viewers can catch it on Netflix before the release of Season 2.
