10 Best Stephen King TV Shows, Ranked
Stephen King‘s works have haunted readers for decades, but translating his unique blend of horror, suspense, fantasy, and deeply human characters to the small screen has always been one of the most challenging things to do. Some adaptations crash and burn, while others capture the feelings and messages of his novels almost to a T.
From faithful miniseries to ambitious ongoing dramas, the last few decades have produced a remarkable collection of King TV projects, proving his stories can thrive in the long-form format. Here are the 10 best Stephen King TV shows for all fans of his world-building magic, ranked by overall acclaim and how much King himself liked and approved of them.

‘Chapelwaite’ (2021)
Chapelwaite is a 2021 series starring Adrien Brody, and it was based on one of King’s most famous short stories, “Jerusalem’s Lot,” from his 1978 collection of stories, Night Shift. Set in the 1850s, Chapelwaite is a Gothic horror series following Captain Charles Boone (Brody), who moves his family to his ancestral home in the small Maine town of Preachers’ Corners after his wife’s death. There, he discovers the dark secrets lurking in his family’s bloodline and the malevolent forces tied to the Boone legacy. The show builds suspense slowly, avoiding cheap scares and letting the atmosphere do the heavy lifting.
While there’s not a noted reaction to the series from King, critics have praised the show, saying it avoids going over the top, playing out like a methodical whodunit, which is exactly what helps keep viewers hooked from start to finish. Brody’s performance is powerful as the family’s wounded patriarch; he carries the narrative with a brilliant emotional weight. Though drab and slow-burning in some respects, Chapelwaite still holds up well and makes for one of the better adaptations of King’s works.

‘The Shining’ (1997)
If you thought that King’s brilliant 1977 novel The Shining only had a film adaptation, you’re wrong—there’s also a miniseries from 1997, and it was written by King himself. In an attempt to ensure the fidelity to the story, King seized the opportunity to create his own version; this came after years of expressing public frustration with Stanley Kubrick‘s film adaptation. It’s great to know that King has finally found a version of The Shining that he is happy about, and many fans who truly love the book agree with his version.
The Shining stars Steven Weber as Jack Torrance, a recovering alcoholic and aspiring writer who takes a winter caretaker job at the isolated Overlook Hotel with his wife Wendy (Rebecca De Mornay) and psychic son Danny (Courtland Mead). As winter closes in and the hotel’s evil influence grows, Jack descends into madness. Unlike Kubrick’s version, the series reinstates the novel’s themes of supernatural possession and the evil nature of the hotel. While it lacks Kubrick’s visual mastery, The Shining delivers a story with well-developed characters, completing the novel experience.
8
‘The Dead Zone’ (2002–2007)
The Dead Zone is a novel from 1979, and it was first adapted into a feature film by David Cronenberg in 1983, starring Christopher Walken. While this is one of the best adaptations of King’s works in movie format, the 2002 TV series of the same name is pretty decent, too. Fans liked the show’s mix of the “case of the week” trope and bigger story arcs, saying it’s perfect for anyone who enjoys their mystery sprinkled with some nice character development.
The Dead Zone has six seasons, following Johnny Smith (Anthony Michael Hall), a small-town teacher who falls into a coma after an accident and awakens six years later, only to discover he has psychic abilities; his abilities are triggered when he touches someone, revealing their past or future to him. The show takes the overarching mythology of the novel and blends it with a whodunit nature, following Johnny’s attempts to stop a rising politician from triggering nuclear war. The Dead Zone shows that King’s work is easily adaptable into a long-running series; despite an abrupt ending, it holds up as one of the most successful long-form adaptations, honoring the source well.
7
‘Salem’s Lot’ (1979)
Salem’s Lot was based on the book of the same name from 1975, and it’s a unique series because it was directed by the ’70s king of horror, Tobe Hooper. His two-part miniseries translates King’s vampire novel to television beautifully, with King himself having praised this adaptation for its faithfulness and atmosphere. Even decades later, viewers recognize the show’s immense quality, proving flashy visuals aren’t always the best way to evoke genuine fear; atmosphere is the biggest part of Salem’s Lot‘s success. This, together with great characters and a steady pace, makes Salem’s Lot an adaptation worth raving about.
Salem’s Lot follows writer Ben Mears (David Soul), who returns to the small Maine town of Jerusalem’s Lot, his hometown, seeking inspiration. While there, he discovers that a mysterious antique dealer has brought an ancient evil with him; as townspeople begin vanishing or turning up dead, Ben realizes he’s facing a vampire epidemic. Salem’s Lot is, on its own, an inspirational story for many horror fans, but the ’79 show also inspired a generation of filmmakers.
6
‘Mr. Mercedes’ (2017–2019)
Mr. Mercedes is a three-season series based on the Bill Hodges novel trilogy: Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers, and End of Watch. Hodges is a retired detective, and Mr. Mercedes is a rare detective story by King; it’s also related to The Outsider, which is frequently cited as the best King TV show. King has spoken positively about the adaptation, and though the trilogy represents his first foray into pure detective fiction, he brings his characteristic psychological depth to the genre. It’s one of the best and highest-quality adaptations of King’s work, though it flew under the radar big-time, mostly because of its network.
Mr. Mercedes follows retired detective Bill Hodges (Brendan Gleeson), who is haunted by an unsolved case of a killer who drove a stolen Mercedes into a crowd of job fair applicants, killing about a dozen people. When Brady Hartsfield (Harry Treadaway) begins taunting Hodges with emails, he launches an unofficial investigation, getting drawn into a cat-and-mouse game with a psychopath hiding in plain sight. Treadaway plays Brady in a frightening, chilling way, while Gleeson brings immense depth and likability to Hodges.
5
‘Castle Rock’ (2018–2019)
Castle Rock is an original story that draws from the entire Stephen King universe, blending together some of the most iconic characters in the most iconic town from his novels. Hulu’s ambitious anthology series creates an entirely new story set within the interconnected world of King’s works, and executive producer JJ Abrams worked closely with King to create an authentic extension of his universe. The project was welcomed with critical acclaim and audience acclaim, with everyone embracing this ambitious concept, consistently giving it high praise. It’s one of the best adaptations that takes creative liberties and succeeds in honoring where it comes from.
Castle Rock is set in the infamous Maine town of Castle Rock, a setting featured in numerous King stories. The story follows Henry Deaver (André Holland), a death row attorney who returns to his hometown when Shawshank Prison discovers a mysterious young man (Bill Skarsgård) held in a forgotten underground cell. The series weaves together references, locations, and characters from across King’s bibliography: Shawshank Prison looms large, characters mention events from novels like Cujo and The Body, and we meet Jackie Torrance (Jane Levy), the niece of Jack Torrance from The Shining.
4
‘11.22.63’ (2016)
11.22.63 was based on the novel of the same name from 2011, which reportedly involved the most research King has ever undertaken for a book, with every period detail meticulously translated. He’s also satisfied with the TV adaptation, which is remarkably faithful to his vision. Critics praise the show’s world-building, suspense, and emotional depth. 11.22.63‘s arrival on Netflix propelled it to the streamer’s Top 10 chart, introducing a new generation to this masterpiece adaptation.
11.22.63 follows Jake Epping (James Franco), a recently divorced English teacher from Lisbon Falls, Maine, whose dying friend Al Templeton (Chris Cooper) reveals a shocking secret: the diner’s storage closet is a portal to 1960. Al begs Jake to travel back and prevent the assassination of President John F. Kennedy—a task he believes could create a better world; Jake agrees but soon discovers the past doesn’t want to be changed so easily. As he establishes a new identity in Texas and falls deeply in love with librarian Sadie Dunhill (Sarah Gadon), he must balance his historical mission with the human connections that make the past feel like home.
3
‘IT: Welcome to Derry’ (2025–Present)
HBO’s ambitious prequel series, Welcome to Derry, shifts focus from the Losers’ Club—the protagonists of King’s most famous novel, It—to the cursed town itself. Set in the winter of 1962, 27 years before the events of the film It Chapter One, the show explores the societal rot that allows Pennywise to thrive. We’re in the middle of the Cold War, and racial tensions are through the roof, creating the perfect feeding ground for an entity that feeds on paranoia and division. The pilot episode makes a bold statement by killing off most of its young cast and including a gruesome sequence involving a mutant baby’s birth. The show is additionally filled with Easter eggs that refer to King’s vast universe.
With fears that Welcome to Derry would be a redundant prequel in the shadow of the iconic Losers’ Club, expectations seemed both high and low. Yet, audiences and critics loved Welcome to Derry, which grew better in quality and lore from episode to episode. The timed appearance of Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise cemented the iconic status of this future classic, making it one of the most exciting and beautiful stories that honor the Stephen King universe and his biggest story of a killer clown, adolescent friendships, and good versus evil.
2
‘The Stand’ (1994)
The 1978 novel The Stand is one of King’s most ambitious works, boasting incredibly detailed and vast world-building. It seemed too hard to adapt for the small screens, but even before prestige television existed, ABC took a massive swing at adapting King’s apocalyptic magnum opus; King personally wrote the teleplay, ensuring unusual faithfulness to his vision, and even did a small part as a truck driver himself. And while the production values feel outdated now, The Stand is still one of the most acclaimed and appreciated adaptations of King’s works, boasting a massive and super-talented cast and a timely story.
The Stand is a four-part miniseries that follows the survivors of a superflu that wipes out 99% of humanity as they’re drawn into a final battle between good and evil in Boulder and Las Vegas. While the series follows an ensemble, there are the quietly heroic Stu Redman (Gary Sinise), the childlike Tom Cullen (Bill Fagerbakke), and the arsonist Trashcan Man (Matt Frewer), standing out as important characters relevant to the plot. The Stand also introduces one of the most iconic villains of King’s universe—Randall Flagg, who is the human embodiment of the devil. Flagg is mentioned, most notably, in The Dark Tower series, too.
1
‘The Outsider’ (2020)
The Outsider is from 2018 and counts as one of King’s newer works; that’s why not many people would be familiar with it. King himself showed praise and love for the adaptation, even taking part in a potential Season 2, which was planned and ready to go before HBO inexplicably decided it wouldn’t be happening. Screenwriter Richard Price took liberties in adapting the source material, which King was obviously OK with; he thought of changing the role and name of Holly Gibney, but King didn’t allow it, showing that Holly is a vital character in his universe and even important to him. She is, truly, one of the best characters in King’s vast world.
The Outsider begins as a gritty police procedural: in Cherokee City, Georgia, Detective Ralph Anderson (Ben Mendelsohn) arrests beloved teacher Terry Maitland (Jason Bateman) for the brutal murder of 11-year-old Frankie Peterson. The evidence is overwhelming, but Terry has an ironclad alibi: he was at a teaching conference in another city. This impossible contradiction forces Ralph, still grieving his own son’s death, to enlist the help of unorthodox private investigator Holly Gibney (Cynthia Erivo) to explain the unexplainable. Erivo elevates the show with her performance, posing as both the heart and mind of the series; everyone around her is just as brilliant, and The Outsider is a crime series with immense love for the supernatural and fantastical.

Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans has faced many ups and downs over the years, and her romantic life is no exception.
The MTV personality married David Eason in September 2017 after welcoming their daughter, Ensley, earlier that year. Prior to the nuptials, Evans — who also shares son Jace with ex-boyfriend Andrew Lewis and son Kaiser with ex-boyfriend Nathan Griffith — had several rocky relationships.
In her 2017 memoir, Read Between the Lines, Evans revealed that she was “addicted to sex” when she was a teenager.
“I didn’t care who it was with, or if it was unprotected,” she wrote. “I would do anything to keep a guy with me, so I used sex as a manipulative tool.”
While Evans and Eason broke up in February 2024 and finalized their divorce in July 2025, the pair sparked reconciliation rumors in early 2026 after reuniting.

The Buffy Episode That Secretly Fixed The Show’s Most Frustrating Mistake
By Chris Snellgrove
| Published

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of those shows I have watched until nearly every frame is burned into my brain. That’s because the series is borderline perfect: it features a killer premise, brilliant actors, and some of the best writing in television history. Even with the excellent writing, however, there are occasional mistakes that, once you notice them, will bother you forever.
For example, when Angel loses his soul and becomes evil, he wrecks Jenny Calendar’s computer, ostensibly destroying the information on how to restore his soul. However, all we see onscreen is the vampire destroying her computer monitor, which geeks like Willow know is not where the information is stored. Fortunately, season 2’s 19th episode, “I Only Have Eyes for You” fixes this mistake, revealing that Willow was still able to get information off Calendar’s computer and that the non-tech-savvy Angel didn’t really know what he was doing.
Breaking Vlad

Part of what made Buffy the Vampire Slayer so effective is that the show explored the real threats faced by young people through a fantasy lens. For example, countless young women have had the negative experience of a boy turning into a jerk after they have sex. But it was so much worse for Buffy: after she and Angel did the nasty, he lost his soul, becoming the scariest vampire of the modern age.
Once he became Angelus, this violent vamp didn’t want to simply kill Buffy: instead, he wanted to torment her by torturing and killing her friends. In “Passion,” he really takes this malevolence to the next level by killing Jenny Calendar and displaying her body for Giles to find when he shows up for a date. He initially attacks her at the school, where Angel takes the time to destroy the computer containing instructions for restoring his soul.
Talk About A Firewall

At least, that’s his goal: while he comments on how far technology has advanced, he slams her computer monitor to the ground, damaging it before setting it on fire. It makes for a very scary moment, one that underscores how horrifying it is for this teacher to be attacked in her own classroom by a ruthless vampire. But what always frustrated me as a young nerd was that “Passion” implies that Angel successfully destroys the information on the PC, which is absurd: destroying a computer monitor (even a chunky ‘90s monitor) would do nothing to actually destroy all of the information in the hard drive, housed safely in the undamaged body of the PC.
Fortunately, the later episode “I Only Have Eyes For You” fixed this mistake, though this was likely by accident. In the wake of Jenny Calendar’s death, Willow (her star pupil) becomes the new computer science teacher. When Giles comments on how well the young student has adapted to teaching, Willow points out that she had access to “good lesson plans…Ms. Calendar had them on her computer.” Furthermore, she also “found a bunch of files and Internet sites on paganism and magic and stuff.”
Finally, A Good Retcon

From a narrative standpoint, this helps to set up later plot points, including Willow discovering how to restore Angel’s soul (Calendar kept the spell on a floppy disk) and her eventually becoming a full-fledged witch. However, this throwaway line also confirms that Angel’s attempt to destroy the teacher’s computer and all of the information on it was a complete bust. That may seem disappointing, but it makes sense: the centuries-old vampire has never been good with technology, so it makes sense that he would just destroy the biggest, most visible part of the computer without realizing he’s damaging the wrong thing.
As all Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans know, “Passion” is a killer episode, one filled with high emotion, crazy action, and the unforgettable death of a major character. For this fan, though, the episode’s implication that destroying a computer monitor would affect the hard drive. While it would take the Scoobies a little while longer to figure out how to restore Angel’s soul, “I Only Have Eyes For You” managed to restore something else entirely: my faith in the writers!

3 Best Shows To Watch on Netflix This Week
Bridgerton‘s chokehold over the U.S. Netflix charts is starting to fade. At the end of last month, the second half of Season 4 delivered a whirlwind of romance and scandal, as the will-they/won’t-they drama between Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie Baek’s (Yerin Ha) concluded in unmissable fashion. At the time of writing, the beloved period drama has dropped to third in the charts and has been overtaken by a pair of docuseries, with Spain’s The TikTok Killer and The Dinosaurs taking the top two spots. If docuseries aren’t your thing and you’re finished with Bridgerton, here’s a list of three other shows you should give a try on Netflix this week.
For more recommendations, check out our list of the best shows and movies on Netflix.

1
‘Formula 1: Drive to Survive’ (2019–Present)
Rotten Tomatoes: 62% | IMDb: 8.5/10
Last weekend, the 2026 Formula 1 season began in earnest, as the Australian Grand Prix kicked off at Albert Park in Melbourne. With one of the biggest events on the sporting calendar having just premiered, now is the perfect time to watch Netflix’s beloved docuseries, Formula 1: Drive to Survive. The series captures the euphoria and heartache ingrained in the FIA Formula One World Championship across multiple seasons.
Many fiction series aim to craft pulse-racing tension and unmissable drama, leaving you gripping to the edge of your armchair. However, you simply can’t beat the raw tension created by high-octane sports, and they don’t come much more high-octane than Formula 1. Add to that smart editing and emotional cinematography, and a recipe for binge-worthy television is born.
2
‘Grey’s Anatomy’ (2005–Present)
Rotten Tomatoes: 84% | IMDb: 7.6/10
Sometimes, you can’t beat the best, and Grey’s Anatomy is arguably the greatest medical drama of all time. Following the revolving door of patients and professionals inside the walls of the fictional Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, Grey’s Anatomy centers on a new batch of interns and their supervisors, led by surgical intern Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo).
One of the most popular shows on television that has impressively maintained a large fanbase after more than two decades, there’s never a dull moment on Grey’s Anatomy. Sadly, a rewatch of the series is now made even more emotional and poignant following the death of Eric Dane following his battle with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
3
‘The Staircase’ (2022)
Rotten Tomatoes: 92% | IMDb: 7.1/10
If you love true crime but want something fictional this week, don’t miss out on HBO’s The Staircase. Based on the 2004 true crime docuseries of the same name, the series follows Colin Firth‘s convicted murderer, Michael Peterson, after he is charged following the death of his wife, Kathleen (Toni Collette), who was found dead at the bottom of their titular staircase.
Firth and Collette are two of the best actors working today, and they make for a perfect pairing in The Staircase. So great that they both earned Primetime Emmy nominations for their work, these performances alone would make The Staircase worth watching. Add to that a truly gripping tale told in eight easily binged episodes, and your week’s viewing is sorted.

Jack’s astonished he’s on a yacht with crazy Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) who insists she’s sane and rehabilitated. She tells Jack they’re alone on a lake nowhere for him to run. Patty knows he’s back with Diane and Patty’s flirty, wants a hookup, tells him to open his heart, but Jack refuses.

Diane and Kyle investigate searching for a lead to find Jack. Diane and Kyle are with Billy who says it could be a wild goose chase, but Kyle says it could be the lead they need to find Jack. Bottom line, Diane says it’s the only lead they have so they have to follow it.
Young and the Restless Spoilers Wednesday, March 11th: Nikki Puts the Pieces Together
On Wednesday, March 11th, Nikki puts the pieces together about Jack’s disappearance. Likely she’ll figure out Victor did it. This week, Nikki and Phyllis bicker at Society. Nikki might ask Phyllis about the abduction—or it may be her dropping clues to Nikki about what Victor’s done.
Diane loses it with Phyllis because Diane believes Phyllis is putting Jack’s life at risk. I suspect Phyllis to set things straight and tell Diane she already went to Victor to make a deal to get Jack back.
Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) ask Adam for help, likely about Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Chelsea’s there too—some strategizing.

Thursday, March 12th: Sienna Takes Steps to Stop Matt on Y&R
On Thursday, March 12th, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) defends Victor’s actions. Victoria seems to condone Victor’s extreme measures of getting their family legacy back. Victoria’s a lot like her father.

Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) is disturbed by what he hears from Sienna. Nick gets important news from Adam. Likely about Matt—Adam may find out Matt’s location.
Friday, March 13th: Victor and Nikki Reach a Breaking Point
On Friday, March 13th, Victor and Nikki reach a breaking point. Victor kidnapping Jack might be the last straw for Nikki and her being upset that something happened to Jack and her questioning him will infuriate Victor on Young and the Restless.
Lily is back—did Devon Hamilton Winters (Bryton James) and Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) bring her back or did she come on her own? Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) hopes to make amends with Lily. Jack falls into Patty’s trap. Will Jack give Patty her kiss and then she demands more?
Week Two of Young and the Restless Spoilers: March 16th-20th Spoilers
During the second week, Cane may be hurt that Lily conspired with Victor. Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) plays Kyle. She and Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) have a scheme going where she seduces Kyle to break him and Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) and for Audra to prove she can get Kyle.
Holden’s determined to get Claire back and hopes Audra can make it happen. Victor stands by his decision to kidnap Jack—he’s got zero remorse and this leaves his marriage to Nikki hanging by a thread. Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) faces consequences soon of the kidnapping. Mental hospital ahead? Maybe they’ll have Patty locked up in a psych ward by then too.
Big final boss battle showdown with Matt coming soon. The Abbotts are still desperate to find Jack as he tries to fend off and outmaneuver Patty. Claire may snap when she finds out Audra is scheming again and go after her. Phyllis keeps trying to get her kids to forgive her. Maybe her offering Chancellor to Victor will work a charm. Unless they try and blame it all on Phyllis.

Here’s Why Chris Brown’s Comment To A TikToker Who Posted A Clip About Looking Like Karrueche Tran Has Social Media Users Dropping Side-Eyes
As The Shade Room previously reported, last month, Chris Brown made headlines after Diamond Brown, the mother of his youngest daughter, Lovely Brown, shared a post, telling him to leave her alone and worry about his “new baby on the way.” Prior to this, fans had been speculating about Chris’ apparent boo, Jada Wallace, being pregnant.
Ultimately, Diamond accused Chris of harassing her and her new romances, and Jada clapped back, accusing Diamond of keeping Lovely away from Chris and of dating his friends. Additionally, Chris also seemingly reacted to Diamond, but said he wouldn’t be playing “internet games.” Ultimately, neither he nor Jada Wallace confirmed or denied the pregnancy allegation.
Since then, Diamond has seemingly revealed the gender of Chris’s alleged “baby on the way,” while also hinting that she may have more tea to spill about Chris. Still, the internet remains on its toes to see if the singer and Jada Wallace will be welcoming a new addition into their circle.

On Monday, March 9th, Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) warns Dylan (Sydney Bullock) not to blab what she knows about Ivy meddling with Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) and Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace). Electra urges Will to be honest and tell her if he ever crossed the line with Dylan.

B&B Spoilers: Steffy Lays Down the Law with Taylor & Deacon
At Taylor’s office, she and Deacon look worried as Steffy goes off on them. She rants to Deacon that he and Taylor are over and Steffy’s adamant Deacon can’t see Taylor anymore. Deacon explains to Steffy how much he loves Taylor. And Steffy says she’s proud of Deacon for turning his life around—for his success with Il Giardino. Steffy says he’s a great father and granddad.
But Steffy says Deacon made one foolish move when he married Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) and that’s why he needs to stay away from Taylor. Then Steffy says they can have one last moment alone to say goodbye but insists they’re done today. She leaves Taylor and Deacon alone and they kiss. I think they’re far from done.
Bold Spoilers Tuesday, March 10th: Katie and Bill Reject the Olive Branch
On Tuesday, March 10th, Dylan confides in Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone). She may tell her about her feelings for Will and that they kissed. Katie Logan (Heather Tom) and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) want nothing to do with Brooke Logan and Ridge Forrester‘s (Thorsten Kaye) olive branch. Katie and Bill are over at Ridge and Brooke’s place for the world’s most awkward double date night on Bold and the Beautiful.

Brooke, Ridge, Katie, and Bill have dinner at Brooke’s house trying to negotiate when Ridge yells and scares the caterer causing Bill to complain that there is no dessert now.
Ridge flies off the handle when Bill puts his foot down. He may try and claim Eric Forrester‘s (John McCook) designs for Forrester Creations but Logan already put them into production and paid for them. Eric reconnects with RJ Forrester (Joshua Hoffman). At the mansion or at Forrester Creations?
Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers Thursday, March 12th: Electra Unhappy About Dylan’s News
On Thursday, March 12th, Electra’s unhappy to hear Dylan’s news. I’m sure this is about her working at Forrester Creations. Katie’s on the defensive with Brooke. About launching Logan and also likely about producing Eric’s designs.
In the lead up to Logan’s big press conference and launch, Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) is at the Spencer Publications offices chatting up Dottie (Morgan Fairchild) and her assistant Joseph (Jim J. Bullock).

B&B Spoilers Friday, March 13th: Logan Makes Its Big Debut
On Friday, March 13th, this week, Katie tells Bill the designs are Eric’s, but Bill says they’re hers, they’re producing the line. So, Katie and Bill get going with Eric’s designs. Katie makes her way down the runway and Bill says, there’s a new name in LA fashion—Logan!
Katie takes the stage and speaks at Logan’s debut fashion show. There’s models, dresses made from Eric’s designs—a big deal. Then, Bill and Katie’s press conference is interrupted by Brooke and Ridge.
Week Two: March 16th-20th Spoilers on Bold and the Beautiful
During the second week, Katie and Bill deal with the fallout from the press conference and what Ridge and Brooke did. Ridge fumes over Bill and Katie using Eric’s designs. Tensions escalate between Bill, Katie, Ridge, and Brooke after the fashion show.
Eric will have an opinion on the press conference and designs but does he show up to the press conference? Electra stresses over Dylan coming to work at Forrester Creations. Will she try and get Steffy to take it back? Ivy and Dylan butt heads.
RJ keeps pursuing Electra. Things may get ugly with Will and RJ. Things are awkward for Will at Forrester Creations and after recent brawls between Spencers and Logans, will he quit? Steffy doubles down to make sure Deacon stays away from Taylor.
Taylor and Deacon are miserable without each other—how long can they resist? Bold and the Beautiful spoiler promises in March, a couple makes love for first time—my money’s on them. Hope and Brooke won’t give up on Deacon and Taylor. And if Hope finds out from Deacon how Steffy came at them, Hope may really double down.

More On Him Claiming That Chrisean Rock’s Late Ex, Ronny, Is The Biological Dad Of Chrisean Jr.
As The Shade Room previously reported, on Friday, March 6, Blueface took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share a lengthy message that has now garnered over 3.9 million views.
“Jr is not my biological son RIP to his father Ronnie I can no longer continue the plot it doesn’t feel right as a present father in all my kids life to be discredited as a absence father to a child that is not biologically mine I tried my best to fill in the blanks because his biological father is no longer with us but I can’t continue the plot it doesn’t feel right,” he wrote at the time.
Chrisean Rock Responded To Blueface’s Claim That Her Late Ex, Ronny, Is The Biological Dad Of Chrisean Jr.
As The Shade Room previously reported, the following day, Chrisean Rock reacted to Blueface’s claim about Ronny being Chrisean Jr’s biological dad. Posting via her Instagram Story, Rock accused Blueface of referring to her and Jr. as “dumb” while appearing on a livestream with Plaqueboymax. Additionally, she denied his claim about Ronny and asserted that her main focus remains on raising Jr. in “peace, love, and protection.”
As The Shade Room previously reported, Ronny Doe, whose real name is Karon Makhai Cann, was the victim of a fatal shooting in February 2025. In December 2024, Doe had gone viral for approaching Chrisean Rock and accusing her of keeping Chrisean Jr. from him and denying his paternity.
After the viral incident, Doe alleged that he was waiting on the results of a paternity test to prove he was the father of Chrisean Jr, per The Shade Room. However, it remains unclear whether Doe was able to receive those results before his passing.
