There was a time when watching sci-fi on television meant keeping things PG-13, and only in movies could you see content that went to the edge. That began to change with the introduction of pay cable, and that line was obliterated in the early 2000s by peak TV. Now, some of the most graphic, most extreme, crazy, gory, and messed-up things ever displayed on a screen can be found in science fiction television.
Watch the video version of this article.
If you’re looking for TV shows that go hard, we’ve got you covered. These are the most graphic sci-fi TV shows of all time, ranked in order by which show is the MOST extreme.
18. Fringe
I can see the comments now: Fringe? That aired on Fox? How is that graphic?
Did you watch Fringe? The show pushed the boundaries of how dark a show can get on Fox. One episode has a man turning solid while halfway through a bank vault. Another has a man cut into little pieces to achieve the critical mass needed to travel to another dimension. The first two seasons of Fringe are all a prologue, filled with monster-of-the-week episodes that are worth watching today, to the real plot of the series: a battle for survival between two warring dimensions.

There’s body horror, there’s cold-blooded murder, there are noble sacrifices. Fringe even kills off its main cast multiple times. It’s an absolutely wild series, and did I mention the body horror? Walter Bishop, the role John Noble was born to play, is a mad scientist working for the good guys, but he’s still a mad scientist, and it’s amazing how many problems can be solved by injecting the right chemicals into the human brain.
17. Black Mirror
Often described as a modern-day version of The Twilight Zone, Black Mirror doesn’t have volumes of blood and gore, but when it gets violent, it’s gut-wrenching and leaves you an emotional wreck.
Season 7’s “Common People” is a standout, showing how technology can save lives, but there’s always a price, a literal one in this case. It’s also the same hook from Marvel’s Infamous Iron Man, but with the rise of subscription services in the last few years, the 2025 episode’s dystopian future is disturbingly close to reality.
The hardest episode to watch remains the series debut, “National Anthem,” the infamous episode about the British Prime Minister having sex with a pig. It’s enough to make you wish for more episodes like “Men Against Fire,” where a military tool tricks soldiers with augmented reality to commit heinous crimes against humanity, or Arkangel’s swarm of killer bee drones.
There’s something to be said for Black Mirror’s habit of building all episodes to one, singular outburst of violent emotion. It stands out among the other shows on this list for its restraint and its ability to emotionally manipulate the audience into a near-nervous breakdown. Black Mirror’s greatest act of violence isn’t on screen; it’s the scream you let out at the end of “Beyond the Sea.”

16. Raised By Wolves
Raised by Wolves was a 2020 HBO sci-fi series set on a hostile alien world where two androids, Mother and Father, are tasked with rebuilding humanity by raising human children after Earth is destroyed by a war between atheists and religious zealots.
The premise sounds controlled, but the execution isn’t. The show leans hard into body horror, religious extremism, and sudden, brutal violence.
Mother isn’t just a caretaker; she’s a weapon capable of tearing people apart in seconds, often on screen. The series repeatedly escalates into imagery most sci-fi avoids: mutilation, forced births, psychological breakdowns, and violence involving children. It doesn’t cut away, and it doesn’t soften the impact.
The result is a show that uses its sci-fi setting to push into territory that feels closer to horror, making it one of the most graphic and extreme entries in modern television.
15. Kingdom
Netflix’s other hit South Korean series, Kingdom brings zombies to 17th-century Korea. Zombies make everything better, including historical costume dramas. It’s also filled with decapitations, burning flesh, and gruesome zombie transformations.
Crown Prince Ju Jio-hoon is torn between investigating the origins of the zombie outbreak and uncovering a political conspiracy that threatens to destroy his family. Old allies turn into enemies long before their flesh is diseased. And if only it were the dead eating human flesh, life in the Kingdom would be much easier.

Dealing with zombies without the benefit of modern technology presents an interesting problem, but then again, there are castles. Like zombies, castles are awesome. So are swords. By the time you finish both seasons of Kingdom on Netflix, you’ll wonder why more studios don’t try a historical zombie apocalypse.
Imagine the Roman Legion marching against the undead, or a Renaissance invasion where Leonardo Da Vinci’s inventions turn the tide. For now, we have Kingdom, a wild ride if you can handle the whole flesh-eating thing.
14. Alien: Earth
The Alien movies featured prominently on our list of the most graphic sci-fi movies, so it makes sense that the franchise’s TV show version would end up here. Alien: Earth doesn’t go as hard as the movies, but where there’s a Xenomorph, there’s bound to be plenty of horrific, blood-soaked deaths.
It begins with an alien ship carrying a Xenomorph crash-landing on Earth. That kicks off a plot involving the technology and corporations of the Alien universe alongside an exploration of human consciousness.
13. Fallout
Like the game series, Fallout isn’t violent or graphic. Most of the time. Then the Deathclaws arrive, and that changes real fast. Season 2 introduced the dangerous Wasteland mutants, and all of a sudden, Fallout became a horror series for a moment. Then again, depending on how you feel about the heavily mutated ghouls, every episode is pure horror.
Walton Goggins Ghoul is an incredible character. Mutated by radiation exposure into his current, melted form, he left behind his past to become a bounty hunter. The Ghoul is a legend in the Wasteland, though he does have a taste for ass jerky. It’s not cannibalism if you have to survive.
Advertisement
Fallout is so good; it’s changed what a video game series can be. It’s partly because of the great writing, the fantastic performances, and the way it doesn’t shy away from depicting violence. Cannibalism, large claws ripping humans limb from limb, and every other way they can arterial spray to hit Lucy, Fallout expertly times moments of graphic violence for a 100% hit rate.
12. Alice in Borderland
Alice in Borderland is a Japanese take on the classic death game concept. Based on the best-selling manga, Alice in Borderland has quietly been one of Netflix’s best shows for years. Combining the puzzle box of Lost with Squid Game, it’s a one-of-a-kind experience.
With no explanation, a group of Japanese teens finds themselves in a desolate version of Tokyo, where they have to play games to survive, or they will be killed by giant lasers from space.
This isn’t Squid Game. The games here start as tag, the most tragic version of hide-and-seek ever, and then they progress to a Witch Hunt, Kick the Can with exploding cans, climbing Tokyo Tower, and Runaway Train, in which they run through an abandoned train filled with nerve gas.
Over the course of three seasons, the total death count sits at 493. Not every death comes from the strange death games, though; the competition to earn cards and, hopefully, escape leads to a bloody back-alley fight against one of the Kings. It’s brutal, and it’s one of the show’s best moments.

Alice in Borderland walks a fine line between gruesome character deaths and its high-brow sci-fi backstory. Best of all, the three seasons on Netflix tell a complete story, which, unlike Lost, includes an ending.
11. Westworld
The 1973 movie Westworld, directed by author Michael Crichton, is violent for its time thanks to Yul Brenner’s performance as the killer Gunslinger robot and the whole robot uprising thing. HBO’s 2016 Westworld series starts off with the same basic premise: the robotic attractions at an amusement park turn against their human creators. Human visitors could engage in every violent and sexual impulse they had, and every night, the robotic Hosts would forget what happened. Until they started remembering.
Every Delos corporate board member is murdered, park guests are brutally killed, and humanity comes face to face with extinction. The Season 1 finale is an incredible payoff to one of the finest sci-fi seasons of all time, but the show kept airing. It’s hard to reach that type of height again, and Westworld wisely pivots to a more surreal, slow-burn storyline involving the dangers of AI and corporate control.
Honestly, the story wouldn’t have worked nearly as well if it weren’t for the violent outbursts. Westworld is a perfect example of violence used to further the story, and not simply violence for violence’s sake. Fans of the original novel and movie even get to enjoy a modern update on the Gunslinger’s murder spree as a reward for Anthony Hopkins‘ philosophical musings on the nature of consciousness.
10. The Last of Us
The Last of Us is another zombie apocalypse, except this time the zombies are the result of a deadly fungal infection that makes them fast-moving, aggressive, rage-filled. Since it’s adapting the best-selling video games, you might think you know what’s going to happen in The Last of Us, but you’re wrong.
Except for THAT moment. It was the Red Wedding all over again; fans fell in love with Pedro Pascal as Joel, blissfully unaware of what was going to happen. Joel’s murder is dragged out, brutal, and emotionally devastating. Unless you played the 2020 game and saw how brutal it was on the PlayStation 4. The show held back.
Advertisement
That’s the ongoing issue with HBO’s The Last of Us: It holds back constantly. This is a brutal, post-apocalyptic world on the brink of being overrun by fungal zombies any day; humans are slaughtering each other over scarce resources, and it never feels like the blood and guts go far enough. It’s there, and the series constantly teases violence, but even when the story calls for it, it goes halfway and then stops. The series is good, not great, and a pale shadow of what it could have been.
9. Helix
After Battlestar Galactica, creator Ronald Moore turned his attention to a high-tech Arctic research station after a mysterious viral outbreak. Helix is the type of slow-burn high-concept sci-fi we rarely get to see on television. That and it’s filled with bleeding eyeballs, bleeding ears, government conspiracies, cults, and more genetic technobabble than any other sci-fi show, ever.
There are also familiar faces in the cast: Star Trek Voyager’sSeven of Nine, Jeri Ryan, is a high-powered corporate CEO, while the star of the show is Billy Campbell. Don’t recognize his name? How about The Rocketeer?
Airing for two seasons, Helix decides to go batshit crazy in its second season. It’s as if the writers knew SyFy would eventually remember the show existed and swiftly cancel it. Which is exactly what happened, as the show started hemorrhaging viewers, with fewer than half a million tuned in for the Season 2 finale. Obviously, they needed most of the best part of Season 1: people slowly going insane while their flesh melts off in quarantine.
8. Swamp Thing
Airing on the DC Universe app, Swamp Thing quickly became a fan-favorite series from the very first episode. Dark, moody, disturbing body horror, interesting characters, this was everything fans of Alan Moore’s incredible 80s run had ever wanted. Filmed on location in an actual swamp, practical effects all over the place, and it embraced the horror side of the DC Universe? We were robbed with only one season.
The plant effects, the multiple characters drowning in dark swamp water, Swamp Thing isn’t afraid to get down and dirty. Unlike other superheroes, Swamp Thing has no code against killing. Wander into his swamp with evil intentions, and you’re a dead man walking.
Advertisement
Swamp Thing looks incredible, the story is pure comic pulp, and it doesn’t insult your intelligence. It only failed because Warner Bros. didn’t get the filming tax credit they expected, putting the series budget at over a million per episode, well out of reach for the DC Universe app.
7. Love, Death, & Robots
David Fincher wanted to make a new Heavy Metal. The director of Fight Club, Aliens 3, Panic Room, and Se7en, wanted to update the legendary 80s adult animated masterpiece. Working with Tim Miller, the director of Deadpool, the result is Netflix’s Love, Death, & Robots. The anthology series is filled with striking animation and original sci-fi stories that will remind you why you fell in love with the genre.
A few are fun short films, including the early episode, “Witness,” which is one long chase sequence, but others, such as Season 2’s “Bad Traveling,” use a violent alien to make philosophical points about humanity. What do you do when a killer alien has set up in the hold of your ship and demands to be let off on a populated planet? After you tricked the crewmember you hate into being eaten, of course.
There are even bits of traditional horror, including a subterranean adventure gone wrong when an ancient evil is unleashed, and a later episode, In “Vaulted Halls Untombed,” that’s one of the best modern cosmic horror stories, and as is the case with most of those stories, it ends on a horrifying final shot that will linger long after the credits end.
No episode of Love, Death, & Robots overstays its welcome, some are as short as six minutes, some seventeen minutes, and one, that’s entirely a Red Hot Chili Peppers video, might as well have a runtime of zero minutes. Why would I watch that when I can watch rats in a death match with an advanced cybernetic killing machine?

6. From
Take Under the Dome. Make it good. That’s From, a horror sci-fi series airing on MGM+, about a small town that acts like a roach motel: people can enter, but they can’t leave. It’s another sci-fi mystery box series, but this time, there are strange, nightmarish monsters, a society that’s rapidly unraveling, and Lost’s Harold Perrineau gets to do more as Boyd in two episodes than he did in two seasons as Michael.
As the sheriff and mayor of the town, Boyd tries to keep everyone together and working to uncover the mystery, even as each discovery raises more questions. A hidden mineshaft? That’s weird. A man chained inside the mineshaft? Even stranger. A music box that plays itself? A series of numbers with no discernible pattern? The mystery goes deep in From.
The problem for the town’s residents is that on top of the mystery is the pressure that all of them are doomed to die there with no hope of getting out. How would you react? Would be a Boyd, and attempt to hold onto your sanity? Or would it become The Purge? From has a few inventive murders alongside the intriguing mystery, and it’s the best dark sci-fi series of the last decade.
5. Blade: The Series
Long before the Marvel Cinematic Universe existed, Wesley Snipes’ Blade showed the world Marvel superheroes could be cool. Two years before Iron Man, rapper Sticky Fingaz brought Blade to the small screen. Airing on Spike, Blade: The Series was ahead of its time. Violent and bloody, the series was able to get away with swearing and nudity on Spike, and against the odds, it was successful.
It was also expensive, which is what led to the cancellation, despite name-dropping other Marvel superheroes, including Moon Knight and Doctor Strange, setting up the larger Marvel universe for future seasons. Blade: The Series had begun to focus less on Blade and more on Krista Starr, a former soldier-turned-vampire out for revenge. Sticky Fingaz had the look, but he was no Wesley Snipes.
Blade: The Series pushed the boundaries of what was allowed on television at the time; Spike TV was a cable channel, but not premium cable. There was more sex and violence than any other show at 10 PM. Except for the local news out of Peoria.

4. Aeon Flux
Before MTV became the Ridiculousness channel, it pioneered adult animation through Liquid Television, a groundbreaking block of shows that included the debut of Beavis and Butt-Head, but also the silent shorts of Aeon Flux. The first run of the series features animation that’s mind-blowing today, never mind in 1991, but also in every single episode, Aeon dies.
Her neck is snapped, she’s shot, eaten by an alien, trapped in paralyzing fluid and set adrift at sea. Her end is frequently brutal, swift, and decisive. Then in the next episode, she’s back, working against the Breen and sabotaging her arch-enemy, also her lover, Trevor. For a series of experimental, silent shorts and than a more traditional half-hour show, Aeon Flux is surprisingly complicated.
To say the series became a hit is an understatement. Over 30 years later, Aeon Flux is still creative, subversive, and very, very violent.
3. The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead is one of the most graphic shows in history. You can debate a lot about it, from whether it was ever actually any good to whether the show aired for far too long, and whether it was worth A&E building an entire network around one show. What you can’t debate is that the series brought a level of violence never before seen on cable television.
One moment in particular stands out as so graphic, so violent, that it caused half the audience to go away and never come back again. The debut of Negan and his bat, Lucille. Glenn’s head splattering across the ground with each swing of the bat was the height of the show’s popularity and its apex of violence. Afterward, it dialed back, but by then, the audience had left, unable to recover from what they saw.
Not every death on The Walking Dead was a brutal display of violence, but every season had at least one or two standout moments. You also have to credit the series for not holding back and showing children turned into Walkers, bloody car seats, and the pharmacy sink, just to name a few of the dozens of examples.

It’s a shame that The Walking Dead turned into a slog by the end, as the detail in the worldbuilding and the willingness to show a zombie apocalypse where no one is safe were a breath of fresh, undead air.
2. Rick and Morty
If Rick and Morty weren’t animated, it would be number one on this list. Rick Sanchez and his grandson Morty leave a trail of broken bodies, ruined civilizations, and bodily fluids as they journey through all the universes. From the Cronenberg dimension to Rick’s ship keeping Summer safe, the Purge planet, Dimensional TV, and, well, any one of Rick’s various guns, even the tamest Rick and Morty episode is going to include some guts.
Trying to pick out the bloodiest, most graphic moment is impossible: Is it Birdman’s brutal murder at his wedding? Is it the Vindicators falling for his elaborate death trap? The destruction of the Citadel by Evil Morty? Alright, that one resulted in the deaths of thousands of Mortys, and as we’ve learned, those don’t count.
Though it’s fallen from the heights of previous seasons, Rick and Morty set a new standard in adult animation through the sheer density of its gags, absurd nihilistic humor, and willingness to show the most vile, disgusting things that haunt the dreams of caffeine-powered animators.
1. Blood Drive
After he was Chad, before he was Reacher, Alan Ritchson starred in Syfy’s forgotten series, Blood Drive, as Arthur Bailey, a cop forced to participate in a brutal death race across America using cars powered by blood. Blood Drive is complete trash. I say that with love, because this bizarre combination of 70s grindhouse western, horror, sci-fi, and a little bit of Lovecraft is unlike anything else.
Cars eat people, people stab and shoot each other, they beat each other to death; the writers made it their mission to come up with the strangest, most original death in each episode. It’s secretly an anthology series, with Arthur and his homicidal partner Grace coming across a different small town, truck stop, or other haven for weirdos and freaks, resolving whatever issue the area has (usually through murder), and then they keep driving.
Advertisement
Now that Twisted Metal is a hit, it’s easy to dismiss Blood Drive as an early attempt to copy the video game series, but give the show 5 minutes. You’ll see why it’s different, why it’s awesome, and why it might be the bloodiest show to ever air on Syfy.
Millie Bobby Brown is a strong, independent woman who does not need a man to carry her belongings.
“Hi, I’m Millie Bobbie Brown and I’m not gonna lie, when did women become incapable of holding their own bags, car seats and stuff?” Brown, 22, shared in a sneak peek of the Thursday, June 10, episode of the “Not Gonna Lie” podcast. “This stems from me holding all of my suitcases and bags and my kid and people are like, ‘Your husband doesn’t hold a single thing.’ Because I’m three miles ahead. I have been planning this all night.”
Earlier this year, Brown and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, went viral when paparazzi photos surfaced of the pair out with their daughter. In one picture, the Stranger Things star was seen pushing a stroller while her husband walked nearby empty-handed.
“We’re all about empowering girls and, ‘You got it’ and ‘You don’t need a man.’ But then when I’m like, ‘Ok, I can carry my own things,’ people are like, ‘Where’s your husband?’” Brown shared. “I can also do it on my own. Nobody knows my husband. My husband is the most polite, sweet, will-do-anything-for-me. But he also knows I’m capable.”
Millie Bobby Brown is already fiercely protective of her newborn daughter. “For me, it’s really important to protect her and her story until she’s old enough to potentially one day share it herself,” Brown, 21, told British Vogue in a cover story published Wednesday, November 5. “It’s not my place to purposefully put her in […]
Podcast host Kylie Kelce — who shares four daughters with husband Jason Kelce — immediately agreed with her guest and shared her own point of view.

“I love this,” Kylie, 34, proclaimed. “The number of times that I have people come up to me and be like, ‘Do you need help with that bag?’ and I’m like, ‘Hey guys, I really appreciate it but if I needed help, I’d ask for it.’ The first person I’m asking — you guessed it — my husband. Thank you.”
While Kylie enjoys “the idea of chivalry” and doesn’t want to make it “dead,” men shouldn’t underestimate the strength of a woman.
“I want there to be a degree of politeness and catering to your woman and whatever,” she continued, “but at the same time, don’t act like I’m broken or dainty.”
Brown replied, “I’m not broken!”
In August 2025, Brown surprised fans when she announced the arrival of her first baby with Bongiovi, 24.
Thank You!

“This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,” the couple wrote via Instagram in a joint statement. “We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy. And then there were 3. Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi.”
While Brown tries to keep her personal life off of social media and away from the Hollywood spotlight, the actress shared a rare photo of her daughter in February while celebrating a special birthday.
“22. grateful for my husband and daughter. for my family and friends. all of my animals,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “I am so blessed. thank you for the birthday wishes. Xoxo.”
Taylor Swift is set to take her love for New York to another level with her anticipated wedding in the center of it!
The Pop star will reportedly be making her mark at Madison Square Garden to catch a glimpse of Game 4 for the 2026 NBA finals, a few weeks after she attended a basketball game with Travis Kelce.
While Taylor Swift’s attendance at the NBA finals at MSG is exciting news, it is significant because the arena has been rumored to be the venue for her fairytale wedding to Super Bowl winner Travis Kelce.

The pop superstar will reportedly be spotted courtside among the crowd cheering a team to victory for Game 4 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. The game will feature the New York Knicks battling it out with the San Antonio Spurs, sealing Swift in the winning spot with fans who were skeptical about her recent Cavaliers appearance.
Swift will reportedly be attending the game with some of her best pals, a less intense move away from her PDA filled appearance alongside Kelce last month at the Knicks-Cavaliers. The tight end and singer both rooted for the Cavaliers during that game.
However, Kelce later cleared the air on his “New Heights” podcast that he was not trying to win Swift over to the Cavs. He added that the outing was a way to share that part of his world with her and to get her to share the sports culture he grew up with in Ohio.
As shared by Page Six, while it was difficult dealing with the Knicks crushing Cleveland’s team, Kelce noted that his allegiance has now shifted, and he will be cheering the Knicks on from here.
The Last Time The ‘Love Story’ Singer was At A Basketball Game

While his team lost out at the games, Kelce left a notable impression on the minds of fans who watched him chug a whole beer to the admiration of Swift. The Blast noted that the NFL star took advantage of the moment Swift’s “Ready For It” blasted through the speakers and gulped his drink.
Kelce’s stunt was an instant opinion magnet as fans trooped to the internet to dissect all the intricacies involved in the video, drawing judgments questioning Kelce’s maturity.

Some comments declared that Kelce’s actions were beyond embarrassing and reflected poorly on Swift’s status as a worldwide pop star. At the same time, other fans expressed worry about the future of their relationship.
Some fans, however, countered the critics, reassuring everyone that Kelce’s antics are a sign that Swift finally has someone she can have all the fun with. They complemented his larger-than-life personality, which is reportedly perfectly fine with Swift.
Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Could Turn Their Big Day Into A Stadium Affair
MEGA
It was reported that the couple could be considering an unconventional wedding setting to exchange their vows. According to an insider, Swift and Kelce may tie the knot at Madison Square Garden on July 3, taking the vibe away from concerts and sporting events to hosting one of the biggest weddings on the continent.
The venue could typically house over 20,000 attendees, thus giving them a great scale of visibility, and this may provide an opportunity for the fans to be a part of their big day. The iconic Manhattan arena is not exactly a strange feature in Swift’s story and career, especially early in her touring days.
Her relationship with the venue began in 2009 when she headlined a sold-out crowd, and then in 2011, she hosted two consecutive sold-out shows on November 21 and 22, respectively. In all, the country singer has performed eight times at Madison Square Garden.

The Power Couple Reworked Wedding Plans After Major Info Leaks
ZUMAPRESS.com / MEGA
Weeks prior to the rumors of a new wedding venue for Swift and Kelce, reports indicated that the pair were already under serious pressure to salvage what was left of sensitive information on their big day.
At the time, insiders claimed that Swift became more wary about who she shared details with after private info about the wedding started to circulate in public discussion.
The Blast noted that the leaks caused unexpected disruptions and changes to plans, such as shifts in timing and locations. It was a frustrating and depressing experience, as far as sources were concerned, because it jeopardized the couple’s trust in their circle.
Swift was also reported to be more guarded than usual, with the couple choosing to keep their celebration low-key and focus on close family friends and family.
Even more drastic was the fact that the country singer allegedly did not leave a room for any plus-one in their wedding invitation. In the insider’s words:

“She doesn’t want to see random faces in the crowd when she’s having her most intimate moment with her husband, committing themselves to each other for life.”
Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce’s Wedding List May Be Missing Some Famous Names
Annie Wermiel/New York Post/MEGA
Another interesting area of speculation surrounding the wedding is that some celebrities did not get an invitation to the ceremony, and they are people formerly in her close circle, such as Blake Lively, Miles Teller, and Karlie Kloss.
Lively and Swift reportedly fell out over her involvement in the former’s messy lawsuit with Justin Baldoni over their hit movie “It Ends With Us.” As for Teller and his wife, Keleigh Sperry, they were last spotted with Swift in 2024, but now, their names have reportedly been excluded from the guest list.
Model Kloss and the “Bad Blood” singer were known for their friendship in Hollywood, but that relationship quietly faded, putting her among those who would not witness the couple exchange their vows next month.
Ultimately, Swift reportedly curated that guest list with longevity in mind as she focused on only friendships that would follow her into the future.
There haven’t been many television finales as disastrous as that of Game of Thrones, as “The Iron Throne” was such a disappointment that it seemingly invalidated all the investment that viewers had staked in the George R.R. Martinadaptation over the course of eight seasons. Although House of the Dragonwas a more well-planned adaptation of another Martin series that benefited from having an ending set in advance, it was far from perfect. It was hard to follow House of the Dragonfor those who didn’t already have a foundational knowledge of the history, mythology, and topography of Westeros, and the series earned a new layer of controversy when Martin himself spoke out against its inaccuracies. It may have seemed like the world of Westeros would be reserved for only a niche group of fans going forward, but A Knight of the Seven Kingdomswas an old-fashioned adventure story that explored a side of the universe that wasn’t dominated by magic, bloodlines, and prophecies.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms may share a title with the best episode of Game of Thrones’ final season, but it is set around 90 years before the beginning of the original show, and is set far away from King’s Landing. The series tells the story of Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey), a lowborn hedge knight who had previously squired for Ser Arlan of Pennytree (Danny Webb). Duncan, or “Dunk” as he is affectionately known as, has the ambition of competing in a tournament in Ashford, where he finds an unexpected squire of his own in the young boy Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell). The tournament itself is a center point in which various powerful families, cunning knights, and ruthless charlatans vie for victory in inhumane ways, but Dunk’s goal is to win by honorable means. Although the notion of an old-fashioned hero determined to do good in the world might feel like a generic premise, it feels like a breath of fresh air when compared to the cynicism of Game of Thronesand House of the Dragon.

‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Is a More Grounded Take on Westeros
Both Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon are quite epic in scope, which makes sense because they are set over several years of time and involve a massive ensemble of characters. However, that style is a byproduct of the specific stories being told, and not an aesthetic that all franchise shows should ascribe to. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a more grounded series that does not feature any magic or allusions to the broader political strife, as it takes place on the edge of history, where commonfolk are forced to defend themselves. It’s a reminder that Martin’s worldbuilding wasn’t just brilliant because of the destinies and prophecies that he foretold, but because he created unique pockets of society that took an interesting new spin on the concept of medieval times. Although there are a fair number of Easter Eggs that allude to events in the wider franchise, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a great option for those burnt out by Game of Thrones, and those who’ve never entered Westeros before.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

The universe of Westeros is so vast that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms makes a smart choice in limiting its story to a select location in which the tournament is held. It makes for a clever piece of commentary because it shows how contested a seemingly ”honorable” competition is. Even if it is framed as being an equalizing opportunity that anyone can participate in, the most powerful families have a sway over circumstances that help to tilt the event in their favor. It’s a great way for Dunk to be an underdog, as he has to be a hero who fights against systematic oppression and understands knighthood better than those who were born into it.
‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Has a Compelling Hero’s Journey
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms benefits from being a classic two-hander about characters who seek not to be defined by their class. Dunk has to prove that chivalry is not reserved for those who came from nobility, and some clever twists reveal that Egg is also trying to ensure that he does not go down the same dark path as his family. The chemistry between the two is so charming and surprisingly funny that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is able to bide its time without feeling like it lacks inertia. There’s so much development done in the first three episodes that the fourth episode, “Seven,” offers an all-time great battle scene. It’s followed up by the heartbreaking flashback episode “In the Name of the Mother,” which makes Dunk’s transition to knighthood even more admirable when considering the tragic nature of his origin.
It’s the lowest score for a Game of Thrones series since the flagship show’s disastrous final season.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is proof of how great shows can be economical; with six half-hour episodes, the first season of the show is able to tell a complete story filled with surprises and revelations, and resolves itself in a way where a Season 2 is more than warranted. What’s lost in the cultural evaluation of Game of Thrones is that it was the characters that audiences fell in love with more than anything else, and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a reminder of how that is still the case.
It made over $700 million in theaters and proved that audiences will come out for hard science fiction. It reminded the world that Ryan Gosling can carry a film. It’s coming to MGM+. That’s right, Project Hail Mary, 2026’s biggest sci-fi hit to date this year is coming to the channel people only subscribe to for From, on June 16. This flies in the face of pundit expectations that surely, a hit this big would be on Amazon Prime Video, which it has to be noted, shares the same parent company as MGM+.
The Complicated Relationship Between MGM And Amazon
No matter the streaming platform, Project Hail Mary is going to be a smash hit once it’s available. Based on the Andy Weir novel of the same name, everyone’s been waiting for this film since The Martian, also based on a novel by Weir, turned into a blockbuster. The question wasn’t “will this make money” it was “how much?”
Money is the reason why Project Hail Mary is heading to MGM. The studio wasn’t acquired by Amazon until 2022, two years after MGM had paid $3 million for the rights to Project Hail Mary and started pre-production work on the film. Both services are technically part of Amazon, but as the Christopher Miller and Phil Lord directed film predates the merger, it has to stay with MGM. There’s tax implications, monopoly concerns, what it comes down to is having to keep MGM projects away from Amazon, for now.
Ryan Gosling’s One-Way Trip
Project Hail Mary is worth the time to stream, and at $9.99 per month, it’s cheaper to stream through MGM+ than it is to pay for a digital rental through Prime Video. Ryan Gosling plays Ryland Grace, a teacher and molecular biologist on a suicide mission to a distant star in order to help save humanity from the astrophage, a bizarre, unicelled organism slowly killing the Sun. Along the way, he docks with an alien ship, and the surviving crewmember resembles a sentient pile of rocks, so Grace dubs him “Rocky,” learns to communicate, and together, they set about saving their home planets.
That’s all you should know about Project Hail Mary when going in, because like The Martian, it’s not as simple as it should be to complete the mission. The two films have a lot in common, namely the use of hard science to drive the plot, characters more interested in using their brains to solve a problem instead of any type of external conflict, and they are gorgeous. With a 94 percent fresh critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 95 percent audience rating, it’s the rare film that everyone fell in love with at first sight.
Project Hail Mary is the type of science fiction we need more of from Hollywood. It’s smart, thought-provoking, and dares to be different by breaking the blockbuster mold. That’s why the streaming platform doesn’t matter as much as it would with any other movie. MGM+ or Amazon Prime Video, makes no difference, the audience will find it wherever it is and make it another streaming success.

In Hollywood, making money is often more important than all else. That’s why cinemas are filled with so many sequels and comic book movies. An already established IP is easier to sell than something audiences have never heard of before. It’s the same reason why there are so many reboots and remakes. There was a wave of them in horror throughout the 2000s, and there continues to be across all genres with mixed results. For every success, such as Dune, there’s an unnecessary Disney live-action reboot, or a disastrous reimagining, like The Crow. Bill Skarsgård‘s turn as Eric Draven wasn’t exactly awful, but no one wanted to see a reboot of what Brandon Lee created. Some movies mean so much to audiences that they want them left alone forever. These eight classics fall into that category.
‘The Princess Bride’ (1987)

The late Rob Reiner went through a streak of directing perfection throughout the 80s and 90s with instant classics like Stand by Me, Misery, and A Few Good Men, but for those who grew up with it, there’s a special place in the hearts of fans for The Princess Bride. Written by the legendary William Goldman, the fantasy film deftly blends adventure, comedy, and romance in the story of Westley’s (Cary Elwes) rescue of Princess Buttercup (Robin Wright).
There were rumors of a reboot of The Princess Bride years ago, which thankfully never came to be. How do you recapture the 80s magic? It’s a moment in time movie that can’t be redone with different actors to the same effect. There’s no one who can do what Mandy Patinkin and Wallace Shawn pulled off. Now, with Reiner sadly no longer with us, any idea of a remake should be put to rest forever. To make one now would be disrespectful to his legacy.
‘The Goonies’ (1985)

There is absolutely no need for a remake of The Goonies. To do so would be to ignore what made the original so compelling. It’s not as easy as retelling the story. It’s the actors who make the journey so memorable. How could anyone else do what Jeff Cohen did as Chunk, or capture the energy of Ke Huy Quan’s Data? Any attempt would be cheap parody. Like Rob Reiner, Richard Donner is no longer around. Leaving one of his greatest movies alone is the best way to honor him.
‘The Wizard of Oz’ (1939)

For many, the first movie they ever saw or which made an impact on their lives was The Wizard of Oz. If you’re of a certain age, it’s what you watched every Thanksgiving on network TV. The Wizard of Oz was a larger-than-life spectacle, and it still is. The magic transcends across generations. Based on L. Frank Baum‘s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Victor Fleming somehow made this film and Gone With the Wind in the same year. As big as the latter is, even it can’t touch the fantastical journey Dorothy (Judy Garland) goes on.
There have been reimagining of sorts of The Wizard of Oz with Return to Oz and The Wiz, but an exact reboot of the movie that started it all wouldn’t work. It would be like reshaping an important part of your life with the flat gloss of modern Hollywood. The shock of seeing black and white turn into color would no longer hit. Seeing someone else sing the same songs Garland did only mimics the beauty of her performance. Continue to tell other stories in the world, like Wicked successfully did, but leave one of the most important movies ever made alone.
‘The Sound of Music’ (1965)

Another movie which has been passed down by families for decades is The Sound of Music. Robert Wise‘s musical, written by Ernest Lehman, delivered a top-tier performance from Julie Andrews as Maria, the nun who takes care of the seven von Trapp kids while falling in love with their widowed father, Georg (Christopher Plummer). Set in Austria during the rise of Nazism, the movie combines the seriousness of war with the joy of falling in love, all told with beautiful songs.
The Sound of Music is steeped in nostalgia. To even attempt to reboot it would be ludicrous. There is no way to improve on what Julie Andrews pulled off. Any poor actress who took that risk would be set up for immediate failure and ridicule. If you want to see The Sound of Music, go check out showings of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein’s musical and be swept away in a live performance of the story. As for the movie, perfection shouldn’t be touched.

‘The Godfather’ (1972)

The Godfatheris not a movie any kid should ever watch, but what it means to cinema history is just as important. Based on Mario Puzo‘s novel of the same name, Francis Ford Coppola‘s film ruled the 70s and is still regarded as a perfect masterpiece. The drama of the changing Corleone family delivered Marlon Brando‘s most famous role and turned Al Pacino into a mega star. How does any director or actor approach that?
The Godfather is untouchable. That era of early 70s filmmaking had a sense of grit which can’t be so easily replicated. What Coppola did was masterful. The performances can’t be duplicated either. Pacino and James Caan were so great that they launched decades-long careers at the top. As for Brando, how he approached Vito Corleone’s speech patterns became one of the most imitated in history. For any actor to try to play Vito would be seen only as a bad parody of Brando. Refuse any offer for this reboot.

‘Forrest Gump’ (1994)

Tom Hanks was on quite the run in the early to mid 90s. After winning a Best Actor Oscar for Philadelphia in 1993, he followed it up with an even more challenging film. Forrest Gump, an adaptation of Winston Groom‘s novel, is an enthralling lifelong journey about a mentally disabled man who doesn’t let his perceived shortcomings slow him down. It was one of the biggest, most quoted movies of 1994 and resulted in another Oscar for Hanks.
A Forrest Gump remake wouldn’t work today for a few different reasons. There is, of course, no way to improve on what Hanks and director Robert Zemeckis accomplished. Their movie works because it feels so fresh. Nothing quite like this, with its wide scope and unique character, had been done before. Remake it and the magic is lost. At the same time, it’s a movie which couldn’t be made today because a Hollywood actor playing someone who is mentally disabled is now seen as offensive. Any attempt would be immediately rejected.

‘Jaws’ (1975)

Steven Spielberg‘s Jaws invented the summer blockbuster. The director was still in his 20s when he crafted the classic horror action movie about a coastal town held hostage by the attacks of a killer great white shark. Spielberg used John Williams‘ phenomenal score to make up for the lack of seeing the monster for so long. At its heart, Jaws is a character-driven film more than a killer shark horror flick thanks to the performances of Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, and Robert Shaw.
Jaws launched a franchise, with each sequel worse than the one before it until the studio finally gave up. This didn’t mean that the appetite for shark movies went away, though. There have been countless ones made over the decades. That’s exactly why there doesn’t need to be another Jaws. The genre is being done elsewhere already. Jaws is about the score, characters, and setting. To remake it means showing the shark as soon as possible, completely changing the tone and what Spielberg was going for.

‘Back to the Future’ (1985)

No movie quite defines “movie magic” like Back to the Future. Robert Zemeckis’ film, which he co-wrote with Bob Gale, could have been a disaster with Eric Roberts in the lead role of Marty McFly. It changed when Michael J. Fox came on board. Suddenly, Back to the Future was light and cool, with a badass DeLorean time-travel machine, and a fun partnership with the quirky Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd). Everything came together beautifully to create perfection.
Back to the Future became a thrilling trilogy, but after three movies, everyone wisely decided to stop while they were ahead. It’s a world that has never been returned to in a feature film. It should stay that way forever. Like Jaws isn’t all about a shark, Back to the Future isn’t about time travel. It’s the high-energy story and the well-written characters we keep coming back for in rewatches. No one can copy what Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd did. From the supporting cast, to the impeccable writing, and the heartwarming score from Alan Silvestri, there will never be a way to outdo the past.
George Clooney has cast his lot with a particular actor for the highly coveted role of James Bond.
The Hollywood veteran, known for his acting and directorial achievements, recently weighed in on the next agent 007. The “Fantastic Mr. Fox” star had high praise for a man he once worked with.
The next James Bond actor has remained an open topic for years since the former star, Daniel Craig, stepped down from the role after the 2021 installment “No Time to Die.”

Clooney made his allegiance known in a new interview, revealing that he is rooting for Dua Lipa’s husband, Callum Turner, to be the next Bond. The rising actor won Clooney’s heart when he starred in the 2023 movie, “The Boys in the Boat,” which the Hollywood veteran produced and directed.
Given their history, Clooney argued that Turner would make the perfect candidate for the Bond franchise. “I hope Callum ends up being the next Bond. I think he would be a great Bond,” he told Hollywood Reporter, adding:
“He’s tall and handsome and charming and British, so he’s the perfect guy to do it.”
Callum Turner Has All The Qualities The Oscar Winner Likes

Clooney’s praises continued, with the director hailing Turner for choosing quality over “easy paychecks” when it came to his roles. He noted Turner had “done really interesting work” and managed to showcase his prowess as an actor while avoiding Hollywood drama.
“Somehow Callum has weaved his way through all of the noise and found a place where people look at him and go, ‘There’s something with this young man,’” Clooney said. He stated that it was “exciting” watching people pay closer attention to Turner.
Clooney reiterated that Turner had what it took to be a leading man. Filmmaker Will Gluck echoed similar sentiments about Turner’s qualities as a lead actor. “If you’re a guy like Callum who is really funny while also physical, and can be an action-movie hero — those are the ingredients that we used to have in movie stars,” Gluck declared.
Idris Elba Isn’t Rooting For A ‘Woke’ Bond Franchise

While Clooney is rooting for Turner to be the next Bond, fans have placed bets against him, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Harris Dickinson, and Jacob Elordi. Before these rising stars in the industry became fan favorites for the next agent 007, many had been calling for Idris Elba.
The Hollywood heartthrob’s name made waves for some time as the perfect candidate to take over Craig’s legacy, but Elba did not share the same sentiments. In an interview with GQ published on June 8, Elba stressed that he was not on board with changing the character’s race, saying:

“Bond is so unrealistic, so a hint of reality is good, but let’s not try and make it woke. I think you’ve got to be pure to what it is: escapism. Don’t try and answer the world’s taste. Just be Bond.”

Elba confessed that he was flattered that many had considered him a good Bond candidate, but he did not believe a Black person should continue the franchise. He argued that Bond “was written how he was written for a reason” and realistically, some markets prefer it that way.
“Bond is big all over the world. And [audiences] won’t [all] go for a black male, an African male, playing Bond. That’s not what they like in their culture. Period,” Elba explained. Despite arguing that a black person shouldn’t play the predominantly white character, Elba changed his tune for another movie.
The veteran actor landed the part of Man-at-Arms in 2026’s “Masters of the Universe,” a cartoon character known for its ginger mustache. Elba joked that the character looked nothing like him, but he did not mind taking the role because “Man-At-Arms could be any color! He’s got green legs, for God’s sake!”
Daniel Craig Doesn’t Care Who Picks Up The Mantle Of James Bond
MEGA
While Elba believes a Black man shouldn’t be the next Bond, Craig, on the other hand, isn’t bothered. In a 2024 interview with Variety, the actor was asked whom he would like to portray Agent 007, but he bluntly replied, “I don’t care.”
Craig never expected to play Bond as long as he did, previously confessing in a 2022 interview that he thought it would be one movie. When he found out there were five installments to complete, Craig dropped a shocking request.
According to the “Spectre” star, he, the franchise’s producer Barbara Broccoli, said that he wanted to kill off his character by the end of the fifth movie, and she agreed. Craig’s wish came true in 2021 when his on-screen persona died a heroic death, per the U.K.’s The Times.
Whew, Roommates! Social media users can’t stop talking about a now-viral clip that shows Summer Walker strolling to a Chicago store in an interesting outfit choice. As the video continues to spread online, Summer has entered the chat to address the footage.
The singer’s tour might be taking over social media, but a new clip showing her strolling through Chicago in a robe has raised eyebrows. In the video LiveBitez shared, someone records Summer as she casually walks down the street toward what appears to be a corner store. As the video continues, Summer holds onto a green robe while wearing a pink bonnet that covers her hair, along with furry slippers. A man walks in front of her as she makes eye contact with the person recording while heading into the store. After the video surfaced online, social media users quickly questioned why she chose to wear a robe while walking around the city. Others asked why she didn’t send an assistant to pick up her late-night items instead.
Summer Sets The Record Straight About Viral Clip
Once the clip of Summer began circulating on social media, she appeared to address it after an Instagram user sent her a direct message asking why she chose to walk around Chicago dressed like that. She told the Instagram user that she was minding her business and went to pick up some cigarettes. To which the person responded, “fasho minding yo business stop playing not no cigs.”
Summer also captioned the video mentioning that she didn’t know the man walking in front of her, but he did pay for her items. “I literally ain’t even know that man walking next to me he just decided to pay for my stuff & I walked back to my Telly alone n went to bed.” She added. “This celebrity s**t too weird. You can’t even walk to the corner store without going viral.”
