No streamer has built up a catalog as extensive as Netflix‘s. Filled to the brim with movies, series, documentaries, and more, Netflix continues to serve as the place to go for top-tier entertainment. But with wall-to-wall content, there will inevitably be some you miss. With binge-watching all the rage, it sounds easy to watch a miniseries in a single sitting, but there are times you’ll likely miss some that you’ll wish you caught sooner.

The 10 titles on this list are not only brilliant, but they’re also examples of why Netflix reigns supreme. From gritty crime thrillers with A-list stars to powerful ripped-from-the-headlines dramas, the miniseries here are destined to leave you satisfied upon completion. Though many of the obvious greats you likely have already watched, this won’t be filled with them. This list is to celebrate the greats that didn’t get the same adoration as the obvious shows like Adolescence and Baby Reindeer. These are the shows that deserve to be in the same conversation with them.

‘Alias Grace’ (2017)

We all know Margaret Atwood for her novel The Handmaid’s Tale and the thrilling series that came from it, but what about the adaptation of her other work? In 2017, Netflix brought Atwood’s Alias Grace to life. The true-crime story depicts Grace Marks (Sarah Gadon), a poor Irish immigrant maid in 1840s Canada, convicted of murdering her employer and his housekeeper, Thomas Kinnear and Nancy Montgomery (Paul Gross and Anna Paquin). The story focuses on whether she is a cold-blooded killer or a victim of circumstance and memory loss. Written by Sarah Polley and directed by Mary Harron, the slow-burning psychological thriller leaves the viewer questioning Grace’s guilt or innocence until the bitter end.

With a postmodern vantage on a Victorian crime story, the usage of an unreliable narrator, Alias Grace is a compelling watch. Led by Gadon’s hypnotic performance, Alias Grace is a nuanced, feminist-forward masterclass expertly portraying a complex, often ambiguous character who is simultaneously a victim, a victimizer, and a skilled storyteller. The story focuses on how Grace’s story has been historically manipulated by men, tackling themes of the constraints of class, gender, and power. A compelling period drama, Alias Grace is a dark and twisted gem.

‘Black Rabbit’ (2025)

The last quarter of 2025 was quite busy on Netflix with the debut of The Beast in Me and the final episodes of Stranger Things, so it’s understandable why you missed the Jude Law and Jason Bateman thriller. But once you sit down and start Black Rabbit, you’ll be glued to your screens. Created by Zach Baylin and Kate Susman, the highly stressful crime drama tells of estranged brothers Jake and Vince Friedken, whose reunion triggers a chaotic descent into New York City’s dangerous criminal underworld. The show focuses on high-stakes gambling debts, family toxicity, and the destruction of a prestigious restaurant, Black Rabbit. Ozark meets The Bear, Black Rabbit is an anxiety-inducing watch that effectively explores themes of loyalty, debt, and the burden of the past through a fast-paced narrative of unnerving trouble.

With a moody atmosphere, magnetic performances, and a gritty portrayal of Manhattan nightlife, Black Rabbit has a cinematic edge in its episodic form. Black Rabbit is an addictive watch thanks to its well-structured story that keeps you guessing about where it will lead next. Just when you think there may be a moment to breathe, something happens that raises the anxiety to its peak. Led by dynamite performances from Bateman and Law, the entire ensemble brings their A-game to the project. From Amaka Okafor as Roxie, the ambitious head chef, to Forrest Weber as Junior, the mob boss’s fire starter son, each actor provides a full-body performance that keeps the story captivating. Black Rabbit deserves a seat at the VIP table.

‘Bodies’ (2023)

Some shows require your complete, undivided attention, and Bodies was very much one of them. In fact, a whiteboard may have come in handy for its intricate story. Based on the DC Vertigo graphic novel, the sci-fi mystery thriller follows four detectives in four eras — DS Sharhara Hasan (Amaka Okafor), DS Karl Weissman (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd), DI Alfred Hillinghead (Kyle Soller), and DC Iris Maplewood (Shira Haas) — who discover the same dead body in the same London location, uncovering a massive, century-spanning conspiracy involving a cult leader and a time-looping doomsday device. As each detective slowly unravels the truth about how their cases connect through the mysterious time-traveling figure Elias Mannix/Julian Harker (Stephen Graham and Gabriel Howell), Bodies is a time-warped team-up adventure that culminates in the prevention of a catastrophic event.

If there is one thing guaranteed while watching Bodies, it’s this: it’s tightly plotted. Unlike many mystery box stories, Bodies’ interconnecting narrative is a clear puzzle that comes together effortlessly. You just might not get it immediately on the journey. That’s the hook. If you stick to the story and allow the gripping action to unravel, the payoff is well worth it. A truly transcendent tale, Bodies is a twisty time travel story that masterfully captures the atmosphere of each time period. With a satisfying conclusion, this is one high-concept tale you don’t need more because of its perfect ending.

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.

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

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.

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.

Yellowstone

🛢️
Landman

👑
Tulsa King

⚖️
Mayor of Kingstown

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.

‘Cunk on Earth’ (2023)

Blending the worlds of satirical comedy and historical documentary, Cunk on Earth introduced Diane Morgan’s Philamena Cunk to a worldwide audience. And yes, we’ve been changed for the better and for good. The mockumentary series features the ill-informed investigative reporter as she travels the world attempting to tell the story of human civilization from early prehistory to the modern day. Through its high concentration of jokes, dry, deadpan humor, and a unique blend of accurate, factual information and absurd, satirical, and uninformed narration, Cunk on Earth extended the sensationally crafted character as she wreaked havoc on unsuspecting experts with her absurd line of questioning.

The range of topics, from the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution to the evolution of AI, Cunk on Earth maintains the big-budget BBC-style documentary approach as it absolutely rips history to shreds. Complete with sweeping drone shots and pensive shots of the fictional host, it’s the ridiculous commentary that keeps us laughing on the floor. The writing and improvisation are sharp. Whether she’s talking about her mate Paul or wittily integrating her fixation on the unrelated Belgium techno anthem “Pump Up the Jam,” the payoffs are worth it in the end. Cunk had a life pre-Netflix, and she’s about to have more soon. What’s clear is that the format is an addictive winner, proving that dry humor is very much a beloved style of comedy.

‘Godless’ (2017)

Before the Taylor Sheridan Western boom on television, Netflix had its hands on an underrated hit, Godless. In the Scott Frank-created series, Roy Goode (Jack O’Connell), a young outlaw on the run from his vengeful mentor, Frank Griffin (Jeff Daniels), seeks revenge for betraying him. He winds up in La Belle, a small New Mexico mining town populated almost entirely by women after a mining disaster killed most of the men, who band together to defend their home against a murderous gang. A show about morality in the face of survival, Godless explores the strength of community and the tension between freedom and order.

What sets Godless apart from much Western content is its brilliant take on a female-centric narrative. Godless features a sensational ensemble led by Michelle Dockery as Alice Fletcher, an unflinching widow, and Merritt Wever as Mary-Agnes, the widow of the mayor and lover of another woman, Callie Dunne (Tess Frazer). They serve as fervent characters who face off against the present force of men in the overarching story. Godless is also known for its sweeping cinematography, masterfully capturing the grit and charm of the Old West. Godless is an airtight, no-filler series that deserves to be hailed as a top-tier period Western.

‘Maid’ (2017)

Many great miniseries work in a limited capacity because they are based on an already established complete story. Having the blueprint laid out means the episodic story is clear and concise. Such was the case for Molly Smith Metzler’s series, Maid. Based on Stephanie Land‘s memoir Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive, the 10-episode series tells the story of Alex Russell (Margaret Qualley), a young mother struggling to make ends meet who flees an emotionally abusive relationship and works as a house cleaner to support her toddler daughter. A gritty exploration of poverty, homelessness, and bureaucratic hurdles, Maid is a faithful adaptation through a realistic, empathetic portrayal of poverty and a young woman’s determination to break the cycle.

Maid is an unflinching, unfiltered examination of single motherhood. With a compelling performance that established Qualley as a rising star, Maid captures the immense difficulty of moving from crisis to stability. Qualley provides resilience as Alex. Her scenes with those who contributed to her emotional turmoil are some of the most profound. The dynamic of mother and daughter is exceptional, perhaps due to the fact that it’s Qualley’s actual mom, Andie MacDowell, who plays Paula Langley, Alex’s estranged mother. Maid isn’t always the easiest watch because it intricately depicts the struggles of being in a toxic relationship while avoiding hard clichés. A word-of-mouth series, Maid continues to resonate as a strong entry in the Netflix vault.

Surely you became addicted to Mike Flanagan and his horror brilliance upon completing The Haunting of Hill House. You were taken by The Haunting of Bly Manor and then Midnight Mass. Then, The Midnight Club was canceled after a season. All great series, but it’s The Fall of the House of Usher, the last in the string on Netflix-Flanagan’s collaborations, that is the hidden gem. The haunting eight-part thriller chronicles Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood), the corrupt CEO of a pharmaceutical company, whose life and family dynasty collapse when his six children begin dying in brutal, mysterious ways over two weeks. A Gothic horror masterpiece that uses dark humor as a critique of corporate greed, The Fall of the House of Usher tells you exactly what will happen; the allure of watching comes from just how it happens.

Filled to the brim with Flanagan mainstays having a blast in the twisted tale, The Fall of the House of Usher is a biting critique of modern themes through the lens of Edgar Allan Poe‘s Gothic literature. If you are a horror fanatic who gets a rise from graphic, creative deaths, this series delivers in spades. A horror version of Succession, The Fall of the House of Usher offers a satisfying, cathartic narrative and thrives through its portrayal of corrupt individuals receiving their gruesome comeuppance. With a sensational ensemble featuring Carla Gugino at her very best in a Flanagan series, the acting truly sets the show up for sensational success. A polished narrative with Flanagan’s signature style, The Fall of the House of Usher has left us wanting more.

‘Unbelievable’ (2019)

With an onslaught of nonstop crime dramas, one or two might fall through the cracks. And sometimes that one or two just happen to be great. One such example is Unbelievable. The miniseries is based on the 2015 news article “An Unbelievable Story of Rape,” written by T. Christian Miller and Ken Armstrong about the Washington and Colorado serial rape cases. The story follows a teenager, Marie Adler (Kaitlyn Dever), who is charged with lying about a sexual assault, and the subsequent investigation by two detectives, Grace Rasmussen (Toni Collette) and Karen Duvall (Merritt Weaver), to uncover the truth and track down a serial rapist. Unbelievable is a harrowing ordeal that pinpoints the systemic failures, victim-blaming, and the trauma of assault.

Though many shows tackle similar themes, Unbelievable prioritizes victims’ experiences over sensationalism. By focusing on empathy through realism, the series’ strong care for the psychological trauma of victims and the painstaking, realistic work of investigators allows the story to feel honest, offering catharsis. Unbelievable is also a must-watch thanks to the sensational performances of the three female leads. Collette and Weaver use their seasoned skills for grounded performances, as Deaver is simply devastatingly good with her nuanced take. With a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, Unbelievable remains a hidden gem.

‘Unorthodox’ (2020)

Every story needs to be told, but not every story gets a platform to do so. Inspired by Deborah Feldman‘s 2012 autobiography, Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots, tells the story of Esty Shapiro (Shira Haas), a 19-year-old Jewish woman who flees her suffocating, arranged marriage and the restrictive Satmar Hasidic community in Brooklyn to start a new life in Berlin. The four-part story chronicles her journey of self-discovery, secular exploration, and escape from intense religious, social, and marital pressures. A truly fascinating story, Unorthodox is a niche coming-of-age story that packs a powerful punch with an accessible approach.

Unorthodox is a first in many ways. First, the series marked Netflix’s first series to be mostly presented in Yiddish. The first story of this type on the streamer is compelling and well-paced, giving each primary character a chance to ruminate and offer their perspective. On the one hand, Unorthodox depicts Esty’s mesmerizing growth. On the other hand, it’s a cat-and-mouse chase in which Esty’s husband, Yanky (Amit Rahav), and his cousin try to find her. While they work in parallel, their convergence allows for a complete story rather than a skewed narrative. Unorthodox fully immerses viewers in the locales, namely the Brooklyn Hasidic community and the progressive side of Berlin, and cultures to ensure authenticity. By depicting one as open and the other as claustrophobic, Esty’s experience becomes transcendent. If the story doesn’t grab your attention, Haas’ performance sure will.

‘When They See Us’ (2019)

Some stories may seem absolutely unbelievable, but when you learn the intricacies behind the scenes of the ripped-from-the-headlines stories, that’s when the unbelievable becomes transcendent. You may be familiar with the Central Park Five, but following When They See Us, it’s as if you’ve truly been given the entire tale. When They See Us explores the events surrounding the 1989 Central Park jogger case, putting a spotlight on the Central Park Five — five Black and Latino teenagers, Antron McCray (Caleel Harris), Kevin Richardson (Asante Blackk), Yusef Salaam (Ethan Herisse), Raymond Santana (Marquis Rodriguez), and Korey Wise (Jharrel Jerome), who were wrongfully convicted of assaulting a white woman. The four-part series dramatizes their lives over 25 years, covering the 1989 investigation, their 2002 exoneration, and their ultimate settlement with New York City. Through its exceptional depiction of the suspects and their families, When They See Us sparked a crucial conversation about social justice, even in a time when the case seemed unimaginable.

Brought to life by director Ava DuVernay, the Netflix series brought the true story to the screen with precision and care. DuVernay challenged audiences’ perception of what justice looks like in a broken justice system that begs for due process. The best part of When They See Us was the special piece produced alongside the series featuring Oprah Winfrey catching up with the actors and the men they played. What made the series astonishing was the extraordinary ensemble. Beyond the men who took on the central roles, strong performances came from Felicity Huffman, Niecy Nash, Michael K. Williams, and Vera Farmiga. A truly heavy series, When They See Us is sensational and deserves everyone’s attention.

6 New Fantasy Shows That Are Perfect From Start to Finish

Published

on

Matthew Rhys as Tom laying down on a couch in Widow's Bay

Since the early 2010s, fantasy television has been getting more and more popular, and has become a rising trend in the world of media. Networks are more willing now to dump more and more of their budgets into large-scale fantasy productions, which is why there are so many of them nowadays. Admittedly, it can be kind of hard to keep up with it all in this new wave of television, especially at the frequent rate in which new TV series are coming out.

Every so often, a fantasy series comes out that knocks it out of the park, but only a select few each year really get this chance. Even in the last year or two, there have been some real diamonds in the rough, some of which deserve more attention. The following lists the best fantasy TV shows from 2025 and 2026 that are absolutely perfect, even if they only have one or two seasons so far.

‘Widow’s Bay’ (2026-Present)

Widow’s Bay is sort of a mishmash of several different genres. It’s primarily a horror/comedy at its heart, but it can also be considered a supernatural drama of sorts. And yes, it can also be considered a fantasy series, especially in the way that it features mythical creatures, many of them from folklore and legend. Premiering just this April, the series is set in the fictional town of Widow’s Bay, New England, which is afflicted with a terrible curse. This curse brings nightmares to life, awakening the dead and bringing some of the most horrific monsters from local legend to life. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the mayor of the town believes the curse to be a bunch of humbug, much to the dismay of the townsfolk.

This series is so much fun to watch because it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Sure, there are some high stakes, but the juxtaposition of a skeptical mayor faced with undeniably supernatural phenomena is often hilarious. It’s a quirky, eccentric story that feels truly singular in the world of television, which is why so many viewers have spoken so highly of it. Even though it’s far from the most fantastical series on this list, it’s an absolute riot and a masterpiece in the making.

The Mighty Nein is an animated Amazon Prime Video series based on a custom campaign in the popular tabletop role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons. More specifically, the show is based on a campaign played in the second season of the Critical Role podcast, and was released following the success of Critical Role‘s other animated series, The Legend of Vox Machina. Vox Machina and The Mighty Nein take place in the same immersive, lore-rich world, albeit on two completely different continents.

Like Vox Machina, the cast of Critical Role actually voice their in-game characters, making it familiar and nostalgic for fans of the original podcast. It also makes the characters feel more authentic, since the creators have already poured so much of themselves into them. The story of The Mighty Nein is about a group of misfit criminals who carry the fate of the world in their hands when an arcane artifact is rediscovered. What results is plenty of humor, action, and some genuinely moving drama. Like Vox Machina, this show is absolutely stellar, and received rave, near-perfect reviews all around.

Outlander has been a pretty popular fantasy series that has been running since 2014. Based on the novels by Diana Gabaldon, the series is primarily a historical fantasy, following a British nurse in World War II named Claire (Caitríona Balfe) as she is magically transported through time to various important eras. She falls in love with a Scottish Highland warrior in 1743, who is one of the key characters in the entire series. Not only does the show feature major historical events, but heartwarming romance, as well.

Outlander: Blood of My Blood serves as a prequel series, focusing on the parents of the nurse’s love interest, Jamie (Sam Heughan), in 18th-Century Scotland. The series also flips to World War I, following Claire’s parents. So, there’s still plenty of romance to be had in this one, even if time travel isn’t quite as common. Still, for only having two seasons so far, Blood of My Blood has been met with A-plus reviews from critics and audiences alike, with some fans even calling it better than the original show.

You carry something heavy — and you carry it alone, even when you don’t have to. You were not born for greatness, and that is precisely why greatness chose you. Your courage is not the roaring, sword-swinging kind; it is quiet, stubborn, and terrifying in its refusal to quit. The Ring weighs on you more than anyone can see, and still you walk toward the fire. That is not weakness. That is the rarest kind of strength there is.

Advertisement

You are, without question, the best of them. Not the most powerful, not the most celebrated — but the most essential. Your loyalty is not a trait; it is a force of nature. You would carry the person you love up the slopes of Mount Doom if it came to that, and we both know you’d do it without being asked. The world needs more people like you, and the world is lucky it has even one.

You were born to lead, and you have spent years running from it. The crown is yours by right, but you know better than anyone that right means nothing without the will and the worthiness to back it up. You are tempered by loss, shaped by long roads, and defined by a code of honour you hold to even when no one is watching. When you finally step forward, the world shifts. Because it was always waiting for you.

Advertisement

You have seen more than you let on, and you say less than you know — which is exactly as it should be. You are a catalyst: you do not fight the battles yourself, you ignite the people who can. Your wisdom comes not from books but from an age of watching what happens when it is ignored. You arrive precisely when you mean to, and your presence alone changes what is possible. A wizard is never late.

Graceful, perceptive, and almost preternaturally calm under pressure — you see things others miss and act before others react. You do not need to make a scene to be remarkable; your presence speaks for itself. You are loyal to those you choose to stand beside, and that choice is not made lightly. You have lived long enough to know that the most beautiful things in this world are also the most fragile, and that is why you fight to protect them.

Advertisement

You are loud, proud, and absolutely formidable — and beneath all of that is one of the most fiercely loyal hearts in Middle-earth. You don’t do anything by half measures. Your friendships are forged like iron, your grudges run as deep as mines, and your courage in battle is the kind that makes legends. You came into this fellowship suspicious of everyone and ended it willing to die for an elf. That is not a small thing. That is everything.

You think in centuries and act in absolutes. Order, dominion, control — not because you are cruel by nature, but because you have decided that the world left to itself always falls apart, and you are the only one with the vision and the will to hold it together. You were not always this. Something was lost, or taken, or betrayed, and the version of you that stands now is the answer to that wound. The tragedy is that you’re not entirely wrong — just entirely too far gone to course-correct.

Advertisement

You are a study in contradiction — pitiable and dangerous, cunning and broken, capable of both cruelty and something that once resembled love. You are defined by loss: of innocence, of self, of the one thing that gave your existence meaning. Two voices war inside you constantly, and the tragedy is that the better one sometimes wins, just not often enough, and never at the right moment. You are a warning, yes — but also a mirror. We are all a little Gollum, given the right ring and enough time.

Devil May Cry is an animated series based on the video game series of the same name. Historically, video game adaptations have been seen as cheap cash grabs with little to no substance, and very little quality put into them; however, many adaptations of late have been breaking that curse. Make no mistake, Devil May Cry is absolutely one of those. Based on a video game or not, the show is truly excellent, featuring all the gritty visuals, gruesome violence, and hideous monsters that made people love the original games.

The story follows Dante (Johnny Yong Bosch), a red-clad, white-haired demon hunter who himself is actually half-human, half-demon. He is called into battle when a new demonic entity threatens to open the gates of Hell, unleashing the demonic horde upon humanity, which means it’s time for Dante to earn his paycheck. Even though the show is being scrapped following Devik May Cry‘s third season, the one that has been released so far is top-tier television, and is a really special treat for fans of the original video game series, or for those who like fantasy in general. It’ll resonate especially well with fantasy fans from the 2000s, as low fantasy shows involving demons were super popular at the time.

‘Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord’ (2026–Present)

Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord is the newest Star Wars animated series from Dave Filoni, who also created all of the other animated series in canon. This show stars Maul (Sam Witwer), formerly Darth Maul, as he builds a new criminal syndicate in the shadow of the Galactic Empire. Set between the third and fourth films, this show introduced some new characters, brought some familiar faces back, and came with pulse-pounding action and a surprising grittiness to it.

Whether fans agree or not, franchise creator George Lucas has stated that Star Wars is absolutely fantasy, and not sci-fi, because he felt it was more in line with mythology rather than typical sci-fi tropes. Regardless, Maul – Shadow Lord has been one of the greatest Star Wars series to date, with some intense lightsaber duels and a new plotline that has fueled fan speculation online. It will be interesting to see what happens next. Even though it’s only got one season thus far, it’s still perfect in all regards, and has been met with universal acclaim, especially from the fanbase.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is the newest TV show set in the world of Westeros, originally penned by George R. R. Martin. As many already know, Martin’s fantasy novel series eventually became the cultural phenomenon that is Game of Thrones, which later spawned two spin-off series. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is one of these series, set decades prior to Game of Thrones. It is based on a series of novellas written by Martin, which tell a more intimate, smaller tale than presented in the main series.

The primary characters of this series are Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and Aegon “Egg” Targaryen (Dexter Sol Ansell), a knight and his squire who spend their time wandering Westeros, encountering enemies, and forming an unlikely friendship. The novellas were known for their chemistry and comedy, which the show has emulated perfectly. Like the other series set in the same universe, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has been an absolute masterpiece, even though it’s only got one season so far. Fans can’t wait to see what misadventures their heroes will get up to next.

James Bond’s Newest Actor Had His Breakout in Netflix’s Near-Perfect Sci-Fi Series 10 Years Ago

Published

on

007-First-Light-2

Denis Villeneuves James Bond is still years away from hitting the big screen, but fans may have already found their next 007. With the franchise’s 26th film expected in 2028, debate continues over who should inherit the iconic role, with names such as Jacob Elordi, Damson Idris, Callum Turner, Henry Cavill, Theo James, and even Tom Holland frequently mentioned. Amid the ongoing speculation, IO Interactive took the unexpected step of casting Patrick Gibson as Bond in the latest franchise entry.

Gibson’s new role has already generated excitement among modern audiences, with some wondering whether the franchise is in exceptionally capable hands. However, longtime television fans may already recognize him from Netflixs near-perfect, mind-bending sci-fi series The OA, in which he delivered a masterful performance that significantly raised his profile. While he has taken on several notable projects since then, The OA remains one of his most memorable roles to date, suggesting he is certainly not your regular 007 agent.

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

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.

Advertisement


The Wasteland

Mad Max

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.

Advertisement


Los Angeles, 2049

Blade Runner

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.

Advertisement


Arrakis

Dune

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

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.

Netflix’s ‘The OA’ Revealed Patrick Gibson’s Range

When The OA premiered on December 16, 2016, it was unlike anything else on television. Blending supernatural mystery, interdimensional science fiction, and fantasy, the series relied on its ensemble cast to ground its ambitious concepts with emotional depth. In it, we see Prairie Johnson (Brit Marling), a young blind woman, return home after disappearing for seven years. Her return raises further questions when it is revealed that she is no longer blind. While she refuses to explain her disappearance to the FBI and her parents, she shares her story with four teenagers and a schoolteacher, revealing how she became the “Original Angel.”

Advertisement

Among The OA’s talented ensemble cast was Gibson, who portrayed Steve Winchell, one of the four teenagers drawn into Prairie’s story. What made Gibson’s performance so compelling was his delivery of one of television’s most dramatic redemption arcs. Steve begins as an aggressive, self-destructive bully, but over the course of two seasons, Gibson gradually unveils a deeply wounded yet fiercely loyal character who undergoes a profound spiritual awakening.

That arc reaches a turning point in The OA Part I finale, when Steve joins the group in performing the Movements to open a portal, allowing the “OA” to travel to another dimension. He then chases the ambulance carrying Prairie. By the jaw-dropping Part II finale, the arc culminates. We see Marling appear as herself in a new dimension, injured on a film set, and, at the same time, Jason Isaacs—whose character, Hunter Aloysius ‘Hap’ Percy, has crossed dimensions—enters an ambulance with her. Believing he has finally succeeded, Hap is beyond shocked when a fully synchronized Steve suddenly jumps inside the moving vehicle and greets him, saying, “Hello, Hap.”

Unfortunately, fans never got to see what happened next. On August 5, 2019, Netflix cancelled The OA after two seasons despite its strong critical reception, thus ending the story on a cliffhanger. As a result, Steve’s fate and his role in the sci-fi drama’s larger mystery remain unresolved. Even so, creators Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, along with Isaacs, have continued to express hope that the planned five-season story can one day be completed.

Patrick Gibson’s James Bond Redefines the Franchise’s Future

007-First-Light-2

Gibson’s compelling character arc in The OA laid the foundation for his place in gaming history, showcasing the very traits required to portray a younger, less refined version of Bond. This is particularly evident in the first major franchise game in over a decade, 007 First Light. The new game emerged following a hiatus triggered by the critical and commercial failure of 007 Legends in 2012.

007 First Light is an original narrative inspired by Ian Fleming’s novels and short stories, as well as the long-running film series. It serves as an origin story for the renowned intelligence agent, focusing on a 26-year-old, inexperienced Bond tasked with a mission that, if completed successfully, will earn him his ’00’ status. Players guide the character through training and field missions in the third-person action game, with full control over how to tackle each operation. They can either go in aggressively with weapons and hand-to-hand combat, or take a stealthy approach, using the environment, deception, and social engineering to slip past or outwit enemies.

With no actor yet cast to succeed Daniel Craig in the film series at the time of development, IO Interactive had significant creative freedom in shaping its version of Bond. That ultimately led to Gibson being cast as Bond in 007 First Light. Narrative and cinematic director Martin Emborg noted that the actor brought a sense of “built-in impatience” that was “perfect” for a younger Bond. Beyond that, the character still exudes natural charisma but is also defined by a fearless inner intensity rooted in childhood trauma—an energy reflected in his fighting style.

Advertisement

007 First Light was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on May 27, 2026, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version scheduled for later in the year. It immediately received strong critical and commercial acclaim, selling 2.7 million units in its first week and earning praise for its gameplay, combat system, writing, and Gibson’s performance as Bond. Note that the game is unrelated to Villeneuve’s upcoming James Bond film reboot, which Amazon MGM Studios is developing.

Gibson’s breakout in The OA from a decade ago now reads like an early preview of the intensity he brings to Bond in 007 First Light. His casting reflects IO Interactive’s broader reimagining of the franchise, shaping a younger, more reckless 007 agent built around emotional edge as much as action. In reimagining Bond through Gibson, the game doesn’t just refresh a familiar character; it subtly resets expectations for where the franchise can go next.

The OA streams on Netflix.

Robert Pattinson’s Forgotten Mad Max Replacement Is Driving Away From Netflix

Published

on

01416753_poster_w780.jpg

With The Drama, The Odyssey, and Dune: Part Three, Robert Pattinson is having quite a hectic year. In a good way. He’s also set to start shooting the long-delayed The Batman Part II, meaning that he has probably participated in movies worth around $1 billion collectively this year. This is a major change of pace for Pattinson, who spent several years after his initial success working with arthouse filmmakers on international projects. It was only around five years ago that he actively made an attempt to return to the mainstream, and shortly afterward, bagged the role of Batman in director Matt Reeves‘ reboot film.

Pattinson famously broke out with a supporting role in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in 2005, after which he landed the highly coveted role of Edward Cullen in the first Twilight movie. It spawned four sequels, all of which did extremely well at the box office but received mediocre reviews. Pattinson seemingly made it his mission to distance himself from the Twilight Saga following its conclusion in 2012, and decided to work with great filmmakers from around the world. In the next decade, he collaborated with the likes of Claire Denis, James Gray, Werner Herzog, David Cronenberg, Ari Aster, the Safdie Brothers, and more. Among his earliest films during this indie streak was a post-apocalyptic drama in the vein of the Mad Max series.

Watch Robert Pattinson’s Post-Apocalyptic Drama on Netflix

The movie in question is currently streaming on Netflix, but it won’t be around for much longer. We’re talking, of course, about The Rover. Directed by David Michôd, who had only recently broken out with the crime drama Animal Kingdom, the movie also featured Guy Pearce and Scoot McNairy. It marked one of A24’s earliest domestic releases, grossing around $3 million at the box office. The Rover received mixed-to-positive reviews, and is now sitting at a 67% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The site’s consensus reads, “Fueled by engaging performances from Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson, the tension-filled The Rover overcomes its narrative faults through sheer watchability.” Quentin Tarantino was a huge fan of the movie, calling it “a mesmerizing, visionary achievement,” and, “the best post-apocalyptic movie since the original Mad Max.” According to What’s On Netflix, The Rover will leave the platform on July 1. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Travis Barker, Kourtney Kardashian Suffered Miscarriage Before Son

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker Welcome First Baby Together 193

Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian opened up for the first time in his upcoming Hulu documentary about how they suffered a miscarriage before they welcomed son Rocky.

During the premiere of Travis Barker: Love Is Louder Than Fear, which Us Weekly attended at the Tribeca Film Festival on Saturday, June 13, Kardashian, 47, and Barker, 50, reflected on the struggles they faced while trying to expand their family.

The couple revealed that Kardashian was pregnant six months after they started dating in 2021. They were expecting a girl — who they were going to name Tulip — before Kardashian learned at a doctor’s appointment at the three-month mark that their baby no longer had a heartbeat.

“When we lost the baby, we were devastated,” Kardashian said in the documentary, which premieres August 13 on Hulu. “We cried for days.”

While Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s relationship came as a surprise to many, the pair knew each other for years before their whirlwind romance. After Barker spent time with Kardashian at her mom Kris Jenner’s Palm Springs, California, home in January 2021, Us Weekly confirmed that the pair were dating. “Kourtney and Travis are officially […]

Kardashian broke down the pair’s continued efforts to get pregnant, which included five IVF attempts in eight months. They ultimately decided to press pause and that led to them conceiving their son Rocky, now 2.

Kardashian and Barker expanded their family in November 2023 with the arrival of their baby boy. The reality star also shares kids Mason, 16, Penelope, 13, and Reign, 11, with ex Scott Disick. Barker, meanwhile, shares two kids, son Landon, 22, and daughter Alabama, 20, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler. He is also a father figure to Moakler’s daughter Atiana, 27, whom she shares with Oscar De La Hoya.

After their 2022 nuptials, Kardashian and Barker documented their ups and downs while trying to have kids together. The duo originally explored IVF before the side effects proved too challenging.

“I would love a baby more than anything, but I just really believe in what God has in store for us. If that’s a baby, then I believe that it will happen,” Kardashian said on a May 2023 episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians.

The TV personality recalled feeling pressure to freeze her eggs, adding, “The freezing of the eggs isn’t guaranteed. I think that that’s a misunderstanding. People do it thinking it’s a safety net and then it’s not. Most of them didn’t survive the thaw and then none of them made it to an embryo.”

After IVF took a toll on her body, Kardashian chose to take a step back from the process.

“My health is still impacted because it’s hormones. And also mentally, it definitely took a toll. So I think just being happy is most important and being a good parent to my kids,” she noted at the time. “We are just embracing that whatever’s meant to be will be.”

Kardashian subsequently got pregnant but chose not to address it while filming season 4.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have been obsessed with their son, Rocky Thirteen, since the baby boy’s birth on November 1, 2023. Kardashian and Barker were friends and neighbors for nearly a decade before their relationship turned romantic in early 2021. Their romance heated up quickly, and the pair wed in spring 2022, officially merging […]

“The whole season [I was pregnant],” she told cameras on a November 2023 episode. “I am five months pregnant. I have not told most people. I have told my closest friends, my family and my kids. Of course [I know when it happened]. People would always say to us, ‘The second you stop trying, it is just going to happen.’ We stopped doing IVF maybe two months before our [May 2022] wedding. So it took a year for all of those hormones and chemicals to get out of my system. We were not trying whatsoever. I didn’t even check my ovulation anymore.”

Before giving birth to Rocky, Kardashian was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. The procedure went smoothly, but Kardashian recalled being affected by the “terrifying” health scare.

“That experience opened my eyes to a whole new world of pregnancy that I didn’t know about in the past,” she told Vogue in October 2023, one month before Rocky’s arrival. “After, I learned that insurance typically only covers two ultrasounds when you’re pregnant, I had no idea. I’ve always been lucky enough to do more than what insurance covers, and it’s one of those ultrasounds that saved my baby’s life.”

Kardashian concluded: “I’ve finally been able to let go of the fear and worry that everybody else put in us because of this pregnancy. I’m ready to go in, have the baby, and have the experience we’re meant to have.”

Travis Barker: Love Is Louder Than Fear premieres on Hulu August 13.

7 Years Later, Pedro Pascal’s Netflix Crime Thriller Is Still Taking Over the World

Published

on

triple-frontier-movie-poster.jpg

The last few years have been busy for Pedro Pascal, who first exploded to new levels of fame thanks to his role in Game of Thrones. Pascal then expanded on his stardom by featuring in one of the greatest Netflix original crime thrillers of all time in Narcos, but the last few years, it’s been mostly Star Wars and superhero projects for the star. Pascal has been busy starring in three seasons of The Mandalorian and even the spin-off movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu, which is now playing in theaters everywhere. Last year, he made his long-awaited MCU debut as Reed Richards in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, opposite Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm. Both Pascal and Kirby are confirmed to return in both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, which are releasing in December 2026 and December 2027, respectively.

Even though he’s a big-time Marvel and Star Wars star, Pascal still finds time for other projects outside the confines of the franchises he continues to dominate. Back in 2019, Pascal was one of many stars recruited to lead one of the biggest Netflix movies of all time, Triple Frontier, which co-stars Ben Affleck and Oscar Isaac. Triple Frontier was met with a divisive reception, particularly from audiences, who were shocked by some of the brutal deaths in the film. Still, Triple Frontier did well enough to earn 63 million views, which makes it one of the most-watched Netflix movies of all time. Even seven years after it was first added to the streaming service, Triple Frontier is still one of the most popular movies on Netflix in a handful of countries.

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.

What Is ‘Triple Frontier’ About?

An official synopsis for Triple Frontier, which also stars frequent Guy Ritchie collaborator Charlie Hunnam, reads as follows:

“Five battle-hardened former Delta Force operatives reunite for one last mission — but this time, it’s personal. Deep in the lawless tri-border jungle of South America, they raid a cartel kingpin’s compound to steal his $75 million fortune. When greed and circumstance push the plan off the rails, loyalty, morality, and survival hang in the balance.”

Mark Boal and J.C. Chandor wrote the script for Triple Frontier, and Chandor also directed the film, which has serious shades of other legendary crime thrillers like Zero Dark Thirty and Sicario. A few years ago, Chandor directed the polarizing Sony Marvel movie, Kraven the Hunter, which stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Forgotten Agatha Christie Adaptation Is Taking Over Netflix

Published

on

sabotage-2014-film-poster.jpg

Earlier this week, major casting news was announced for a new adaptation of Agatha Christie‘s most famous creation: the Hercule Poirot mysteries. The “greatest detective in the world,” it was revealed, will be played by Edward Bluemel in a new BBC and Britbox series, taking over from legendary performers such as David Suchet, Peter Ustinov, and most recently, Kenneth Branagh. Earlier this year, Netflix released Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials, based on a nearly century-old novel. Meanwhile, work is underway on an adaptation of Christie’s “Endless Knight.” The “Queen of Crime” remains as popular as ever, and has inspired not only official adaptations such as the ones mentioned above, but also loosely inspired films and shows that take her tightly wound plots and take them into unexpected directions.

None can be further removed from Christie’s tale of aristocratic vengeance and high-society than an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie that would appeal more to the fans of The Rip. The movie in question was inspired by what is arguably Christie’s most popular mystery novel, “And Then There Were None”, in which a group of individuals is eliminated one-by-one by a mysterious murderer. The movie transported the story’s original setting — a remote island — to a crime-infested world of cops and corruption. The film was directed by David Ayer, and it is currently available to stream on Netflix. But if you’re curious to see what a Christie-inspired movie starring the Governator might look like, you might want to hurry.

Watch the Most Unlikely Agatha Christie Adaptation on Netflix

We’re talking, of course, about Sabotage. In the movie, which was released in 2014, Schwarzenegger plays a DEA agent whose crew is taken out one-by-one after they steal money during a cartel raid. Sabotage underperformed at the box office, grossing around $22 million worldwide against a reported budget of $35 million. It received poor reviews, and is now sitting at a 21% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Sabotage boasts one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s finer post-political performances, but it’s wasted in a movie driven by grueling violence that punishes seemingly without purpose.” Also starring Sam Worthington, Olivia Williams, Joe Manganiello, Mireille Enos, Josh Holloway, and Terrence Howard, the movie will remain available on Netflix until July 1. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Jennifer Lopez’s Gingham Dress Hasn’t Gone Out of Style

Published

on

Jennifer Lopez

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

Some warm-weather looks are so good, they remain on our minds for years. Take Jennifer Lopez’s gingham maxi dress, for instance, which screams summertime in all the best ways. We’ve been thinking about the sweet design for over a year, so when we spotted a wildly similar Amazon alternative for a fraction of the price, we immediately added it to cart. Now is the perfect time to play with patterns, and this no-fail option is the ultimate must-have.

Last year on Mother’s Day, Lopez celebrated the holiday in a classic gingham maxi dress that stole the show. While her exact Reformation option was a bit beyond our budget (and now sold out), we discovered a $40 lookalike that could pass as the real deal. The Prettygarden Gingham Maxi Dress was made for summer lunches, bridal showers and more.

Get the Prettygarden Gingham Maxi Dress for $40 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.

Lopez’s gingham dress combines white and peachy pink with a hint of brown. So, when we realized that the Prettygarden pick comes in 14 colors — including a similar pink hue — we knew that we nailed it. The sleeveless design even has a square neckline, A-line silhouette and thicker straps, just like the Office Romance star’s option. No one will even notice that this alternative includes a comfortable elastic design rather than a stuffy zipper to deal with.

After passing the Memorial Day hump, Jennifer Lopez took the first opportunity to bring out a summery white dress. But hers wasn’t some basic white frock. Boho and luxe, it looked straight out of a high-end boutique, and we found the look for under $50! In a recent Instagram post, Lopez highlighted her Memorial Day […]

Thanks to the pastel print, you don’t need to do too much styling to complete this outfit. Lopez paired her maxi dress with a straw hat and matching handbag, and those tiny additions felt like more than enough — even jewelry isn’t necessary in this case!

Real-life shoppers swear that this Amazon find is comfortable and well-made, and note that it can be worn on its own and layered for the season.

“The quality and fit of this dress are perfect,” a five-star reviewer shared. “This is actually my second time ordering this dress, so I could get it in a second color. I’ve worn the first one several times, and it has held up really well through several washes! The material is lightweight, but not see-through, perfect for hot summer days.”

“I love this dress, and I have it in three colors! I pair it with a cardigan, sweater or denim jacket, depending on the time of year,” another person wrote. “It may be a summer dress, but I wear the red and blue ones in the spring/summer, and I wear the black one in the fall/winter. It is a very comfortable dress with a nice lining underneath, and pockets!”

The gingham pattern was practically made for this time of year — Lopez gets it! — so there’s no better time to incorporate a picnic-inspired print into your wardrobe.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are enjoying quality time together at the theater.

The couple, both 36, stepped out for a theater date night, attending a performance of Oh, Mary! at New York City’s Lyceum Theatre on Saturday, June 13.

The “Fate of Ophelia” singer and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end arrived discreetly after the show had already begun, but they didn’t go unnoticed by fellow theatergoers.

According to videos shared on social media, the pair laughed together during the show, with Kelce often leaning toward Swift whenever a joke landed.

At one point, the play’s star Maya Rudolph appeared to acknowledge the NFL star’s presence in the crowd by delivering a line about audience members needing to leave for “a game,” prompting an enthusiastic response from Swift.

Swift’s excitement continued through the curtain call.

In footage captured by an audience member, the Grammy winner jumped to her feet and raised her arms high above her head while giving the cast a standing ovation. Kelce followed her lead as the rest of the audience rose to applaud.

The couple, who got engaged in August 2025, also took the time to head backstage and pose for photos with the cast, including Rudolph, as well as the show’s director and producers.

After the performance, Swift and Kelce were snapped leaving the theater hand in hand. In a fan video shared via social media, they were seen brandishing wide grins as they exited the venue together.

Oh, Mary!, which was written by and originally starred Cole Escola, offers a hilarious take on the life of Mary Todd Lincoln. Since its Broadway debut in 2024, the critically acclaimed comedy has become a hot ticket among celebrities, drawing a steady stream of famous faces to the theater.

Swift and Kelce’s Broadway outing comes after the “Shake It Off” singer faced backlash for attending an NBA game earlier this week.

The singer sat courtside wearing Knicks-themed attire at Madison Square Garden during Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals on Wednesday, June 10.

It prompted questions over whether the “Bad Blood” hitmaker was really a Knicks fan.

ESPN personality Monica McNutt, 36, was caught on a hot mic expressing doubt that Swift’s support of the basketball team was genuine.

“She’s not a Knicks fan. Get out of here, girl,” McNutt was heard saying in a clip that went viral.

The following day, McNutt backtracked while speaking to TMZ Sports after being shown old photos of Swift wearing Knicks merchandise over the years. “I misspoke. I did not know,” McNutt said.

11 Years Later, ‘The Gentlemen’ Star’s Sci-Fi Blockbuster Makes a Sudden Streaming Comeback

Published

on

01105930_poster_w780.jpg

Guy Ritchie is known as one of the most famous British directors of the 21st century, having defined a genre of crime films and also taken on big-budget Hollywood projects such as the live-action Aladdin remake. However, his work for the small screen is much less recognized, having only worked behind the camera for three TV series. Most recently, Ritchie directed two episodes of Young Sherlock, Prime Video‘s latest adaptation that has already been renewed for Season 2. This followed 2025’s MobLand, with Ritchie again directing two episodes of Tom Hardy and Pierce Brosnan’s hit crime thriller.

However, Ritchie’s best TV work is on The Gentlemen, the Netflix series follow-up to the hugely popular 2019 movie of the same name. Ritchie continued his streak of directing two episodes on the series, whilst also writing two, with fans excited about the second season set to premiere sometime in 2026. Key to the success of The Gentlemen was Theo James, who starred as Eddie Horniman and became a fan-favorite alongside Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales alum Kaya Scodelario‘s Susie Glass.

Ahead of The Gentlemen Season 2, which finished production in October last year, one of star James’ previous projects is an unlikely streaming hit. In 2014, a 30-year-old James made only his fourth feature film appearance alongside Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley in Divergent, the first of three big-screen adaptations of the novels by author Veronica Roth. Sadly, Divergent was panned by most critics, earning a 41% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes and getting scolded for being formulaic and shallow. Despite the lack of critical success, Divergent is a streaming hit 12 years later, scoring a place in the list of the ten most-streamed movies on Peacock in the U.S., at the time of writing.

Was ‘Divergent’ a Box Office Hit?

It was clear to everyone that Divergent was attempting to capitalize on the very relevant success of The Hunger Games franchise, but could it reach the high bar set for itself? Unsurprisingly, Divergent was unable to become the YA phenomenon The Hunger Games was in the early-mid 2010s, but it did prove somewhat successful at the box office, scoring a total global haul of $276 million against a reported production budget of $85 million.
