In a year stacked with great television, a handful of shows stand out as defining 2025 titles. From the outstanding Noah Wyle-led medical drama The Pitt to Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham‘s timely masterpiece, Adolescence, 2025 was home to some of the best and most vital television of the decade. The summer of 2025 was packed with plenty of popular projects, but it was the final installment of a Prime Video romance that had us all turning pretty.

The biggest teen series of the year, The Summer I Turned Pretty‘s (almost) final chapter saw Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, and Gavin Casalegno, caught in the fiery final stages of a gripping love triangle, all set against the gorgeous sunset of the fictional town of Cousins Beach. Earning 70 million viewers worldwide in its first 70 days, marking a 65% increase over Season 2, Season 3 was a greater success than most involved could’ve imagined. Despite the finale airing on September 17, 2025, The Summer I Turned Pretty has remained a constant on the streaming charts ever since.

Alas, all good things must come to an end, and, at the time of writing, The Summer I Turned Pretty has bowed out of the Prime Video top ten in the U.S. In all likelihood, it will quickly find its way back into the charts, but a mammoth finale for Fallout Season 2 and the arrival of Bridgerton‘s fourth outing on Netflix have taken viewers’ gaze away from Jenny Han‘s coming-of-age gem.

Fear not, TSITP fans, as more is on its way in the form of a feature film. Set to serve as a direct continuation from the recent finale, the film was announced following the enormous success of Season 3, with Han returning to pen the story. There has been no word on when production might begin on the next installment of this love story, nor do we know what direction Han will take it in following Belly’s final decision between the brothers, so make sure to stay tuned for the latest updates. A logline of The Summer I Turned Pretty reads:

“A girl is caught in a love triangle between two brothers as she deals with her first love and first heartbreak during the perfect summer.”

The Summer I Turned Pretty is available to stream on Prime Video. Stay tuned to Collider for the latest streaming stories.

Whether I’m flying, driving or taking the train, I’m pretty much always heading somewhere. That means my wardrobe is overflowing with travel outfits, but like anyone else, I have my favorites. Some live in the back of my closet while others are front and center, worn and washed every week. Rather than gatekeep, I’ve rounded up my top picks, a.k.a. the pairings I reach for on both travel and non-travel days.

My go-to travel outfits have to be loose, breathable and skin-soft. They also have to be layerable, since I can’t stand being too hot or cold on an airplane. Lastly, style is non-negotiable for a fashionista like me. These 17 picks check all the boxes. I’ve also included some outfits that are currently in my cart — because no, my closet isn’t large enough for all 17 travel outfits at once. Maybe someday!

The 17 Comfiest, Classiest Travel Outfits — From $7

1. Sporty Chic: This side-stripe outfit begs to be worn to Europe, so go ahead . . . plan that vacation. I’m wearing it to London!

2. Road Trip: You haven’t experienced ‘silky’ until you’ve tried this loose, buttery-soft outfit that’s perfect for long car rides.

3. Medium-Thick: If your body can’t decide between hot and cold, this medium-thick tracksuit is a smart pick. It has short sleeves and long pants for the perfect balance.

It’s currently the year 2026. For six years, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been off the air, and every day since, fans of the adventure series have been wondering when their favorite characters will show up in the MCU. They won’t.

From the very beginning, the signs were there that Disney had no interest in fully integrating the television series into the MCU. All you had to do was watch the second episode, “0-8-4,” a bottle episode that could be set in any universe, with any cast of characters, and needed a last-minute 30-second Samuel L. Jackson cameo in order to keep viewers going into Episode 3. 

No Show Should Start With A Bottle Episode

“0-8-4” has Agent Coulson’s (Clark Gregg) team in Peru to recover an artifact of “unknown origin.” Bringing back the “hero ducks down and a shockwave comes from their stick” move from Serenity, the team flees back onboard their ship, “the Bus,” with members of the national army. That’s right, the second episode of the brand new big-budget MCU television series is a bottle episode. 

Bottle episodes utilize existing sets, typically with only the main cast involved, and are heavier on dialogue. They can be great when used right, like Supernatural’s “Baby,” but “0-8-4” was only the second episode to air. Going right into a bottle episode was meant to let us see how the characters interact with one another and develop relationships, but Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was also a Marvel series, and nothing about this episode took advantage of the setting. 

How many lost civilizations exist in the Marvel universe that the artifact could have been tied to? It could have been part of Nova Roma. Instead of the Peruvian army, Coulson’s ex could have been leading a unit of The Wild Pack. Something. Anything small to tie the story into the larger world, instead of being a generic adventure. Then again, bottle episodes are cheaper to produce, so “0-8-4” should have been a clue that the show’s budget was being throttled in order reach 22 episodes a season.

Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Is Too Good For Modern Marvel

The best of “0-8-4,” besides FitzSimmons, the best part of every episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., is the brief cameo appearance of Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury after the credits. For over a decade, fans have complained that they have never experienced another moment like that. That was the second clue in “0-8-4” that the series was never, ever, going to reach its potential. 

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. eventually found its groove by, ironically, abandoning all connection to the MCU and saying, “Screw it, we’re doing Ghost Rider,” or “Let’s adapt Secret Empire.” It was a fun, fantastic sci-fi adventure show. 14 years later, the unrealized potential that Disney had right there still hurts. Given the current state of the MCU, though, maybe it’s good that FitzSimmons, May, Quake, Coulson, and Mack can be remembered on their own. But….What If?

The new Star Trek spinoff, Starfleet Academy, has proven to be very controversial, but its fans always offer the same rebuttal to any criticism of the show: “give it time.” The logic goes that this show might need time to find its footing, just like The Next Generation and Voyager did. However, given that the show is limited to 10 episodes per season and a maximum of four seasons, Starfleet Academy is officially running out of time to impress viewers.

This reaction to a new spinoff began with Star Trek: The Next Generation, whose first season was its absolute worst. Season 2 wasn’t much better, but the show (thanks largely to new showrunner Michael Piller) transformed into must-see TV with Season 3. After Deep Space Nine had a similarly rocky Season 1, it became gospel among many Trek fans that you should always give a new series a season or two to really find its footing.

It Gets Ugly When You Run The Numbers

Needless to say, this has become the most common defense Starfleet Academy fans have used against any and all criticisms of the show. Those fans love to make comparisons to TNG and say that critics should give these cadets time to find their space legs, just like we gave Picard and crew time. However, what these Starfleet Academy fanboys don’t realize is that the new show is racing the clock, and it’s all Paramount’s fault.

Back in the Golden Age of Star Trek, shows ran for seven seasons, with (outside of the occasional writer’s strike) 26 episodes per season. This is why shows like Voyager could afford to have a rocky first season: whenever there was a bad episode, fans could reasonably expect that a good one was around the corner. Even if the first two seasons were wildly rocky (looking at you, The Next Generation), there would be 130 episodes left that would be, relatively speaking, very good.

Each Season Is A Bubble, Waiting To Pop

But those were the salad days of network television. In the streaming era, shows are more streamlined, and Starfleet Academy (like Strange New Worlds before it) has only 10 episodes per season. Moreover, executive producer and co-showrunner Alex Kurtzman has confirmed that the show is designed to last only four seasons, mirroring the four years it takes the cadets to complete their academy training.

That means that Starfleet Academy has a much more limited window to find its audience than fans think. Every episode represents ten percent of an entire season, meaning that a few bad episodes can make the entire season feel like a mixed bag. This is why fans began turning against the more whimsical episodes of Strange New Worlds: while the occasional lighthearted story can be fun, it feels weird when 30 percent of your third season is devoted to overly wacky episodes.

Starfleet Academy is facing a similar problem because the writers keep dragging decent stories down with juvenile humor. Tales of parental trauma and racial diaspora exist uneasily alongside jokes about cadets eating comm badges and vomiting glitter (incredibly, these are different cadets). By the time the show ends, fans may well wonder how much more character development we might have gotten if there had been fewer scenes of farting fish, drunken dancing, and other try-hard attempts to make us laugh.

The Show Will Be Over Before You Know It

It’s also important to remember that Starfleet Academy lasting four seasons is actually a best-case scenario. Previously, NuTrek shows like Discovery and Lower Decks were prematurely canceled by Paramount. Strange New Worlds, meanwhile, unexpectedly had its final season (which recently finished filming) cut in half. While Starfleet Academy has already been renewed for a second season, poor reception of Season 1 could very well get the show prematurely canceled.

That may already be happening, as Starfleet Academy recently tumbled out of the Top 10 list on Paramount+. With any luck, the show will continue to smooth out its rough edges and grow more impressive over time, like The Next Generation before it. But considering that Starfleet Academy will have fewer episodes in its total run than TNG had for only two seasons, it’s important for fans and showrunners alike to realize that this new show is rapidly running out of time to win over new audiences. 

From January 22nd to February 1st this year, filmmakers from all over the world headed to Salt Lake City, Utah, for the last installment of the Sundance Film Festival that will take place in the state’s capital, before it moves to Boulder, Colorado in 2027. The event marked the return of the annual Cinema Center, Roxstar Entertainment’s hospitality hub, where the festival’s top talent attends to promote and sell what they have to offer at Sundance.

As one of the Center’s key partners in delivering the best experience possible, Collider brought the Media Studio to the Utah mountains once again to conduct dozens of interviews with some of the biggest names in the industry. Tons of fun and insightful conversations were had regarding what audiences can expect from these top-level talents going forward.

Special thanks to our presenting sponsor, Arby’s, for making the Collider Studio happen at the Arby’s Cinema Center and keeping us all fed with their selection of curly fries, mozzarella sticks, and tastes of their new Italian Beef Dip, a new limited-time sandwich that brings Chicago-style flavors to its menu. In addition, thanks to our supporting partners, including Hendrick’s Gin, Sommsation – The Wine Company, Peroni USA, Neau Water, Bernier, and our producing partner, Twenty35 Agency.

‘Saccharine’ (2026)

Natalie Erika James‘ Australian horror film Saccharine made its debut at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

However, she soon becomes haunted by the ghost of the person she’s eating. Madeleine Madden and Danielle Macdonald also star. Reviews were mixed to positive, with Collider praising the film’s early approach and premise, as well as Francis’ committed performance.

‘If I Go Will They Miss Me’ (2026)

Directed, written, and edited by Walter Thompson-Hernandez, If I Go Will They Miss Me is an expansion of his 2022 short film of the same name.

‘Frank & Louis’ (2026)

Swiss screenwriter and director Petra Volpe — best-known for directing the 2017 comedy-drama The Divine Order — makes her English-language feature debut with the drama Frank & Louis. Kingsley Ben-Adir, Rob Morgan, Indira Varma, and Rosalind Eleazar star in the story of Frank, a prisoner who finds a new purpose and redemption when he starts helping fellow inmates with their health problems. Reviews for the movie were positive, with Variety calling it “a stoically moving story of prison care.”

Chasing Summer is directed by Josephine Decker and written Iliza Shlesinger, who also stars alongside Tom Welling, Lola Tung, Garret Wareing, Cassidy Freeman, and Emmy winner Megan Mullally. Shlesinger plays Jamie, an overachieving woman who moves back to her hometown after breaking up with her boyfriend and losing her job. There, she’ll reconnect with old acquaintances who will turn her life upside down. Chasing Summer was among the most divisive films at Sundance, with Deadline calling it “a heartfelt Texas dramedy,” but The Guardian dismissing it as “a baffling car crash.”

‘Bait’ (2026)

Oscar nominee Riz Ahmed took to Sundance to present his upcoming TV show for Amazon Prime Video, Bait. Ahmed, who also wrote all six episodes, stars as Shah Latif, an actor in London who suffers an existential crisis as he’s about to land a dream role. Comedian and actor Guz Khan co-stars in the show and was also in attendance at the festival. Bait will debut all six episodes on Amazon Prime Video on March 26th.

‘I Want Your Sex’ (2026)

Perhaps no title at this year’s Sundance Film Festival was buzzier than I Want Your Sex, Gregg Araki‘s newest offering. The erotic comedy-thriller stars Cooper Hoffman as Elliot, a naive young man who lands a job as the assistant to renowned artist and provocateur Erika Tracy (Olivia Wilde). There’s just one detail: Erika also wants him to be her sexual muse. Mason Gooding, Daveed Diggs, Charli XCX, and Margaret Cho also star. I Want Your Sex received positive reviews, with Collider calling it “the horny tale that Gen Z needs to see.”

‘Leviticus’ (2026)

The feature directorial debut of writer-director Adrian Chiarella, Leviticus tells the tale of two star-crossed teenage boys, Naim (Joe Bird) and Ryan (Stacy Clausen), coming to terms with their attraction and sexualities in an isolated Australian town. However, their journey of self-discovery soon turns into a nightmare when they become haunted by an entity that takes the form of the person they desire most: each other. Millennial queen Mia Wasikowska also stars, marking her first film since 2023’s Club Zero. Leviticus attracted attention at the festival, with the premise drawing comparisons to last year’s sensation, Heated Rivalry.

‘The Audacity’ (2026)

The familiar but still underrated Billy Magnusen stars in Jonathan Glatzer‘s upcoming eight-episode drama The Audacity.

Barry‘s Sarah Goldberg and The Big Bang Theory‘s Simon Helberg also star. The series is set to premiere on April 12th on AMC.

‘The Weight’ (2026)

Fresh off his Oscar nomination for Blue Moon, Ethan Hawke traveled to Sundance in support of his film The Weight.

Julia Jones and Austin Amelio also star.

21 Savage has the internet in stitches right now and Latto just added to the laughter, chile!

What’s In The Video Of 21 Savage And Kendall Jenner? 

As reported, the brief clip shows Kendall Jenner and her entourage walking down a hallway, chatting. It does not appear that Kendall or the rapper interacted or whether they already greeted and know each other.

At one point, while Kendall Jenner walked by, 21 Savage seemed to press his body against the wall. Some fans have pointed out that it appears the artist was trying to hide the fact that he was smoking from hotel staff. The end of the viral video does show 21 bringing the hand he briefly hid back to his face.

As the 21 Savage-Kendall Jenner video picked up steam, Big Mama stirred the pot!

But that didn’t stop Latto from playing along with social media’s kiii by sharing a specific music selection, ‘Get Low’ by Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz. And as predicted, fans ate up her response!
