8 Great New Movies I’m Dying to Watch in 2026
2025 was a surprisingly mixed year for movies.
While the box office increased slightly from 2024’s total, several high-profile movies, like Marvel’s Thunderbolts and Paramount’s The Running Man, underperformed. There’s a reason for that — they weren’t as good as many people, including myself, expected them to be.
2026 promises to be different.
Project Hail Mary, Michael, The Devil Wears Prada 2, Obsession and Backrooms have brought audiences back to the multiplex — and most of these films are actually good.
With new films from directors like Christopher Nolan and Steven Spielberg and some fan-favorite sequels like Dune: Part Three in the pipeline, 2026 has plenty of movies I’m looking forward to watching in a crowded theater.
‘Disclosure Day’ (June 12)

Watch the Skies was the original title of Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi masterpiece, 1977’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and it’s a perfect title for the director’s upcoming extraterrestrial movie, Disclosure Day. Little is known about the movie except what the teaser trailer, well, teases — humanity’s first contact with an unknown alien species, and the questions that are inevitably asked when such an event happens. Are they friend or foe? And what exactly do they want?
Starring Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor and Colman Domingo, Disclosure Day feels like a summer blockbuster from years past. In this case, that’s a good thing, with a masterful director behind the camera, a sure-to-be thought-provoking script by Jurassic Park’s David Koepp and a majestic score by frequent Spielberg collaborator John Williams. After watching the trailer, I felt the same chills I had when I first watched Spielberg’s modern sci-fi classic, Minority Report. If Disclosure Day is half as good as that Tom Cruise banger, we’re in for a treat.
‘Supergirl’ (June 26)

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s … an alien teenager with a drinking problem? Just one year after James Gunn‘s successful Superman reboot with David Corenswet, the DCEU goes back to Krypton for its second feature, Supergirl. Loosely based on Tom King and Bilquis Elvey’s acclaimed DC comic book series Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Supergirl follows Kal-El’s cousin, Kara Zor-El (Milly Alcock), as she stumbles around the galaxy with her loyal dog, Krypto. Along the way, she’s recruited by a young girl, Ruthye Marye Knoll (Eve Ridley), to avenge her father’s murder by the villain Krem (Matthias Schoenaerts).
Can Supergirl match Superman’s box office success? Probably not, but the spinoff looks to be a wilder and more fun take on the superhero genre. As she showed in House of the Dragon season 1, Alcock is at home playing complicated female characters who pack a mean punch, and the addition of Jason Momoa as the violent antihero Lobo makes Supergirl the comic book movie to look forward to in the summer.
‘The Odyssey’ (July 17)

Never bet against Christopher Nolan. The Inception and Dunkirk director has long defied convention and expectations in his impressive career, with his last movie making almost a billion dollars worldwide even though it was a nearly three-hour biopic about the father of the atomic bomb. Oppenheimer ended up winning seven Oscars in 2023, and Nolan’s latest movie, a big-budget adaptation of the Greek tale The Odyssey, promises to win some awards of its own, in addition to probably becoming one of 2026’s biggest blockbusters.
The $250 million epic chronicles the long, strange journey of Odysseus (Matt Damon) as he makes his way from after barely surviving the Trojan War. Determined to reunite with his wife, Penelope (Anne Hathaway), Odysseus must battle a dangerous cyclops, deceptively alluring sea sirens and the witch Circe (Charlize Theron) to find his way home.
The Odyssey has been told countless times before, but never on this scale. With a cast that also includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, John Leguizamo and Mia Goth, the movie has almost as many stars as the night sky Odysseus travels under. The just-released teaser trailer promises epic action set pieces and a moving love story. If Oppenheimer can pack them into the multiplexes, surely The Odyssey can, too.
‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ (July 31)

When we last saw Tom Holland’s lovable wall-crawler, he was still recovering from Aunt May’s (Marisa Tomei) death and adjusting to a new life where no one, not even girlfriend MJ (Zendaya), knows he exists thanks to a convenient mind-wipe from Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch).
The little we know about Spider-Man: Brand New Day is this: Spidey is still slinging solo until some event triggers a team-up of sorts with Jon Bernthal’s Punisher and Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk. MJ and Jacob Batalon’s Ned return in some capacity, and Sadie Sink joins the cast as a yet-to-be-revealed character. (Some say she’s playing a new version of the X-Men’s Jean Grey, while others insist she’s playing Rachel Summers, Jean’s adult daughter from a future timeline.) In addition, Spidey will battle new-to-the-MCU villain Tombstone (Marvin Jones III) as well as the Scorpion (Michael Mando), who appeared briefly in 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming.
That’s all that’s currently known about the top-secret project as of press time. As the MCU movie before Avengers: Doomsday, it’s reasonable to expect it will set up that film in some capacity. Even if it doesn’t, who cares? Holland’s always killed it as Spidey, and this fourth film in Sony’s reboot series sounds like a blast.
‘The Social Reckoning’ (October 9)

When it was released in 2010, writer Aaron Sorkin and director David Fincher’s The Social Network was a critical and commercial hit. A pseudo-biography about Mark Zuckerberg and the origins of Facebook, it captured a key moment in time when social media was just starting to take over everyone’s lives.
A lot’s changed since then, enough for Sorkin, sans Fincher, to return to write and direct a follow-up, The Social Reckoning. Based in part on the real-life 2021 Facebook whistleblower leaks, the movie promises to show the damaging effects of Facebook on society, specifically how misinformation led to events such as the January 6 Capitol riots. With a cast that includes recent Oscar winner Mikey Madison, The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong, The Social Reckoning promises to be the most talked-about movie of the year and a surefire contender at the 2027 Academy Awards.
‘Avengers: Doomsday’ (December 18)

Is there any magic left in the Marvel machine? That’s the big question Avengers: Doomsday hopes to answer with a resounding and definitive “Yes!” Marvel’s throwing everything at this latest Avengers sequel, the first since the massively successful Avengers: Endgame in 2019, by bringing back its OG star, Robert Downey Jr. But instead of playing Iron Man, he’s playing another character this time – the evil Doctor Doom, who wants to conquer, well, everything.
It will take more than one team of Avengers to stop him, which is why heroes from various timelines and dimensions, from the X-Men’s Prof. X (Patrick Stewart), Magneto (Ian McKellan) and Cyclops (James Marsden) to the recently introduced Fantastic Four, are banding together to counter Doom’s threat. Also appearing are Avengers founding members Captain America (Chris Evans) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the new Black Panther (Letitia Wright), the Thunderbolts and many, many more.
After recent Marvel movies like Captain America: Brave New World and shows like She-Hulk: Attorney at Law failed to light the world on fire, a lot is riding on Doomsday to breathe new life into the tiring superhero genre. Even if the story falls short, it’ll be fun to see the X-Men fight side-by-side with the Avengers for the first time.
‘Dune: Part Three’ (December 18)

It’s safe to say that 2021’s Dune and 2024’s Dune: Part Two are two of the best modern sci-fi movies ever made. The critically acclaimed adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic science fiction novel won a bunch of Oscars and a legion of fans, so it’s only natural that another movie would be made to cash in on the success of the previous two.
Based on Herbert’s divisive novel Dune: Messiah, Dune: Part Three takes place years after the last chapter ended. Paul (Timothée Chalamet) is now the Padishah Emperor and father to two children. The long-dead Duncan Idaho (Jason Momoa) is somehow alive again, and Paul’s young sister, Alia (Anya Taylor-Joy), last seen as a sentient embryo in Part Two, is now fully grown. Zendaya and Rebecca Ferguson return, as well as director Denis Villeneuve, who has promised this is the last Dune sequel he’ll be involved in. I can’t wait to see what he has in store for his farewell to a far-out universe filled with massive sandworms, albino gladiators and, of course, spice.
‘Werwulf’ (December 25)

On Christmas 2024, director Robert Eggers delivered a most unusual gift to moviegoers – the vampire horror movie, Nosferatu. An unexpected hit, Nosferatu exploited an untapped market for dimly-lit period movies depicting all sorts of dangerous creatures lurking in the night. This Christmas, Eggers promises more of the same with his new film, Werwulf, which swaps out vampires for, you guessed it, werewolves.
Not much is known about the plot except that it takes place in 13th-century England and focuses on a small village being terrorized by a murderous lycanthrope. Most of the cast of Nosferatu, including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp and Willem Dafoe, return for Werwulf, as well as longtime Eggers’ collaborators, cinematographer Jarin Blaschke and writer Sjon. I’m hoping Werwulf can conjure the same magic that Nosferatu cast on me and millions of other moviegoers and give all of us some relief from those endless repeats of Home Alone during the holidays.

President Donald Trump Storms Out of Meet the Press Interview
President Donald Trump’s seemingly endless war with the media continues after the commander-in-chief abruptly ended an interview on Meet the Press.
“Let’s call it quits, because I’ve had enough,” Trump, 79, told Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker on Sunday, January 7, after the reporter questioned the president about the so-called “weaponization” fund meant to pay reparations to those jailed for their participation in the January 6 insurrection on the U.S. Capitol.
The president also seemingly took issue with questions regarding his constantly debunked claims that the 2020 election, which he lost to former President Joe Biden, was “rigged.”
“Thank you darling, have a good time,” Trump told Welker as he reportedly “crushed his lapel mic underfoot on his way out,” per CNBC.
Before storming out, the president claimed that the current race for Los Angeles mayor is also being “rigged.” (Voters are waiting to see if Democrat Nithya Raman or Republican reality TV star-turned-politician Spencer Pratt will take on incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in November.)

“The election was rigged, it was a dirty election and it’s happening again right now in California,” the president claimed, despite never producing any evidence to back up the allegation that the 2020 election or any election to follow has been “rigged.”
“They’re cheating on the election,” he continued, claiming that “all I have to do is look” and to “listen to people” in order to prove his claims, adding “let’s see what happens.”
He added, “Do you think it’s appropriate that they have an election and five days later, they’re nowhere close to picking a winner? They’re crooked, just like you’re crooked, your press is crooked and Meet the Press is crooked.”
Of course, this is far from the first time the president of the United States has attacked members of the press — particularly women reporters. During an Oval Office press conference on Wednesday, June 3, the president criticized CNN’s chief White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins, calling the news organization a “very corrupt organization” before personally attacking the reporter.
“She’s a young beautiful woman. Never smiles. I never see a smile off her face,” he told her colleagues and those in attendance. “I see her standing there with hatred in her eyes, like she has hatred, because we had borders, because we have a strong military, because we cut our taxes, because we do things that everybody wanted, and then we win our election in a massive landslide.”
He continued, “And you should be ashamed of yourself. You used to be a conservative. She was a conservative from Alabama, can you believe it?”
Before ending his Sunday interview on Meet the Press, the president also defended the controversial January 6 “weaponization” fund.
“If it was up to me, I’d pay them the kind of money that they deserve,” Trump said of the pardoned insurrectionists, some of whom were found guilty of physically assaulting police officers in an attempt to overthrow the government. “People have been destroyed. Lives have been destroyed. Many suicides, think of it.”
The president, like his claims of rigged elections, has provided no such evidence to back up his claims that the insurrection was “peaceful” and that those found guilty for their role had their lives “ruined.” As of December 2025, at least 40 pardoned insurrectionists have since faced other, non-related criminal charges, including child abuse and possession of child pornography.

Apple TV’s First Sci-Fi Universe Is Officially Taking Over Streaming
Apple TV is entering a new phase — one marked by its continued production of high-quality shows that have attracted acclaim and awards. But this new phase leans into what is currently sustaining many streaming services and networks: franchises. The streamer has expressed interest in expanding the universes of some of its biggest shows, with Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Severance, and Ted Lasso in consideration. However, one of the earliest contenders for a spin-off is the streamer’s oldest sci-fi series, and that plan recently materialized.
When Apple TV launched in 2019, one of its earliest original shows was For All Mankind. It is an alt-history sci-fi drama about the moon race. But in this show’s reality, the Soviets beat America and became the first to land a man on the moon. Throughout the past seven years, the show has explored various other space-related arcs, including Mars, space minerals, and extraterrestrial life. The recent season concluded last week, with the show expected to end with the upcoming season. But that’s where the streamer’s franchise ambitions come in.
Enter Star City, an offshoot of For All Mankind that explores the same events from the mothership, but from the Soviet perspective. Season 1 blends the authoritarianism of the Soviet political landscape with the attempt to achieve a major feat. Star City premiered on May 29, on the same day the flagship series was signing off for the season. And now, Apple TV’s first sci-fi franchise is officially live and making a mark on streaming. FlixPatrol has Star City and For All Mankind back-to-back on the streamer’s global chart, ranked third and fourth, respectively.
Is the ‘For All Mankind’ Universe Worth Investing In?
Both shows have received consistently high ratings, even though recent seasons of For All Mankind have faltered in storytelling quality. Star City has been lauded for establishing itself as a distinct experience through its mix of political paranoia and scientific invention. Still, the universe carries the Apple TV mark of quality, characterized by fresh ideas executed well, delivering quality storytelling through character-centric narratives. It helps that the shows have a high budget and don’t compromise in many respects. With the success this universe is seeing, Apple TV can safely jump into the franchise and spin-off game without worrying about having a bad precedent. Whether Severance or Ted Lasso becomes the next franchise remains to be seen.
Stream Star City and For All Mankind on Apple TV, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Lewis Hamilton Blows A Kiss to Kim Kardashian At F1 Monaco Grand Prix
It seems that things are really heating up between Lewis Hamilton and his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian! The “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” reality star was spotted in the crowd supporting the Ferrari driver at the F1 Monaco Grand Prix. While he stood on the podium to celebrate finishing in second place at the racing event, he appeared to blow a kiss to his girlfriend. The pair have only begun dating earlier this year, but it seems that things are quickly getting serious between them!
At the Formula One racing event in Monte Carlo on Sunday, June 7, Hamilton appeared to blow a kiss to the “All’s Fair” actress from the podium while celebrating his finish in second place.
In videos posted on social media, “The Kardashians” reality star could be seen filming the Ferrari driver on her phone while standing next to his teammates in the crowd. Hamilton can be seen blowing her a kiss and smiling at her before setting his trophy down on the podium to cheer on the other champions.
The F1 Instagram account posted a video of the moment with the caption, “YOU’RE DOING AMAZING, SWEETIE.” The post got over 1.2 million likes in just under eight hours, along with over seven thousand comments, with some warning Hamilton about the “Kardashian curse.”
What Is The Kardashian Curse?

The Kardashian curse is a pop culture urban legend that claims that men who start dating anyone in the Kardashian-Jenner family start experiencing a decline in their careers, mental health, or social circle.
The “curse” first appeared in the early 2010s and has been attributed to Lamar Odom, Kris Humphries, James Harden, and a few others. Earlier this year, Kendall Jenner appeared in a Super Bowl LX ad mocking the curse by joking about betting on her ex-boyfriends. In 2018, Kanye West also referenced the “Kardashian curse” in his song, “Yikes.”
Khloé Kardashian Also Showed Up To Support Lewis Hamilton

On Saturday, June 6, Kim was seen arriving in Monaco by boat, according to PEOPLE magazine. However, she wasn’t alone. Her sister, Khloé Kardashian, and family friend Simon Huck also showed up to support Kim’s boyfriend.
Hamilton arrived one day earlier, wearing a sheer shirt covered in sequins and tan trousers. Fans suspected that the reality star’s influence might be playing a role in his new wardrobe. Although Kim has known Hamilton for more than a decade, they didn’t start dating until earlier this year.
Kim Kardashian Met Lewis Hamilton In 2014

In 2014, the two crossed paths at the GQ Men of the Year ceremony. However, they didn’t start dating until February 2006, when they had a “romantic meetup” in Paris, as PEOPLE previously reported. The following month, Hamilton left a flirty comment on one of Kim’s Instagram posts, fueling fan rumors.
That same month, they were seen vacationing together in Tokyo with Kim’s four kids: North, 12; Saint, 10; Chicago, 8; and Psalm, 7. Kim shares all four children with her ex-husband, Kanye West. Kim was married to West from 2014 to 2022.
“Kim’s very selective when it comes to the people she allows around her kids,” a source told PEOPLE. “She’s very protective of them and doesn’t take new introductions lightly. The fact that Lewis has spent time with the kids reflects how much she trusts him.”
Kim Kardashian Is Spending More Time With Lewis Hamilton
On June 1, Kim posted a carousel on Instagram that she captioned “lately.” Amid the photos of family and friends, Hamilton can be seen in the fourth slide. The two appear to be on a bike ride together, and Kim seems to be making a face as her bike appears to crash into his.
Many fans were quick to poke fun at their romance, with one fan writing, “Please do not crash into the Ferrari driver. We need him for the weekends.” Another follower admitted, “Was not expecting Lewis Hamilton on your post this afternoon.” A third fan chimed in, “Don’t hurt Lewis, please! He needs to win in Monaco.”

10 Greatest Thriller Shows of the Last 10 Years, Ranked
With the onset of streaming and the continuation of the medium’s golden age in the 21st century seeing both networks and streaming services grow increasingly daring with the kinds of stories they’re willing to tell, the past 10 years have been a goldmine of bold and impactful television. The thriller genre has been among the greatest beneficiaries of this, with small-screen suspense taking the form of everything from fast-paced politics to slow-burn murder mystery in the past decade.
Each of these 10 series have not only made an immediate impression on viewers with their heart-pounding perfection, but they have also gone on to influence television trends as well. Enshrining themselves among the finest small-screen titles of recent years, as well as being some of the greatest thrillers TV has ever seen, these suspenseful series make up the genre’s greatest hits of the last 10 years.
10
‘Squid Game’ (2021–2025)
Few series in the past decade have had the same cultural impact and medium influence as Squid Game, with the South Korean series not only captivating millions of viewers the world over with its high-concept capitalist critique, but ushering in a mainstream interest in Asian television as well. The show’s premise is remarkably simple; a group of financially desperate competitors participate in a series of children’s games with deadly twists until one emerges as the winner and claims the cash prize.
It’s high-stakes and relentlessly thrilling, with the ceaseless momentum of its life-and-death intensity beautifully supported by its unique and almost playful visual allure. What makes Squid Game such a defining hit, though, is its underlying commentary on wealth disparity. It is a commanding parable of economic strife, the amorality of the elite, and the grueling competitiveness society’s value of money breeds among people.
9
‘Counterpart’ (2017–2019)
A criminally underrated marriage of high-concept sci-fi and ruthless espionage suspense, Counterpart is a fiercely intelligent spy thriller that centers on a cold war between two parallel universes. Howard Silk (J. K. Simmons) is a meek, low-level bureaucrat who discovers the Berlin-based U.N. office he works for is actually containing a secretive gateway to an alternate world. Working with the other world’s Howard Silk, a hard-edged espionage agent, they try to prevent attacks being carried out on innocent people by vindictive sleeper agents.
Anchored by Simmons’ outstanding dual performance, the series’ two-season run is an intriguing mixture of tight, John le Carré-style spy intensity and absorbing sci-fi world-building. It’s cold and callous, depicting humanity as being suspicious and violent, but it delivers heart-racing suspense from its magnificent opening episode right through to its finale.
8
‘The Diplomat’ (2023–Present)
Fast-paced and frenetic, The Diplomat has emerged as one of Netflix’s defining gems of the decade so far, a lively political thriller rich with shocking plot twists and character-driven tension. It follows Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) in her work as the new U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom just as an international crisis erupts. As she navigates the turmoil and political paranoia, she also strives to bolster her own career all while managing her deteriorating marriage to cunning political mastermind, Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell).
The series embraces its somewhat heightened allure, operating less as a realistic descent into the minutiae of global politics, and more as a frenzied thrill-fest of duplicity and betrayal where every daring scheme could destroy the already fragile standing of foreign policy as the U.S. deals with the temperamental and unpredictable British prime minister, Nicol Trowbridge (Rory Kinnear). Complimented by a litany of exceptional performances and a powerful, propulsive sense of momentum, The Diplomat is an enthralling hit of modern political drama that is addictive from the outset.
7
‘Dark Winds’ (2022–Present)
Integrating contemplative and authentic Indigenous storytelling with the bleak brilliance of neo-Western intrigue and period noir, Dark Winds is one of the more stunning and suspenseful crime shows to have aired in the past decade. Based on Tony Hillerman’s ‘Leaphorn & Chee’ novel series, it follows three Navajo Tribal Police officers as they investigate violent crimes that occur in Navajo County in the 1970s.
The AMC series finds an enthralling point of difference in its intimate focus on cultural authenticity, allowing for the spirituality and mysticism of Navajo folklore to be a powerful catalyst for palpable atmospheric storytelling while emphasizing the connection the detectives have to both the land and their people’s history. Also functioning as an intoxicating and intense crime mystery in its own right, Dark Winds is a bold blending of cultural sensitivities and classic television thrills that works on every level.
6
‘Sharp Objects’ (2018)
Miniseries have been a major television trend of the past decade. Many of which have incorporated suspense into their storytelling, like Chernobyl, The Haunting of Hill House, and Unbelievable. In terms of true genre purism, however, HBO’s underrated crime mystery Sharp Objects emerges as a noteworthy highlight. Based on Gillian Flynn’s novel of the same name, it follows disturbed crime reporter Camille Preaker (Amy Adams) as she returns to her hometown to investigate the murder of two young girls.
Interweaving the grim brutality of the case with more character-centric suspense stemming from her volatile familial relationships, Sharp Objects is the epitome of slow-burn excellence. Adams’s incredible performance keeps viewers completely immersed, while the twisty nature of the storytelling and the rich Southern Gothic aesthetic ensure that the tension never dilutes, even as the series evolves at a meticulous and demanding pace.
5
‘Slow Horses’ (2022–Present)
A modern gem that has quickly become a staple of spy television mastery, Slow Horses soars as a decisively subversive spin on the typically glamorized genre, with its emphasis on deeply flawed characters a refreshing pivot from the brand of debonair excitement most espionage thrillers flaunt. Based on Mick Herron’s novel series ‘Slough House,’ it follows a team of banished MI5 agents who work under the instruction of the crude and callous Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman) to combat threats to national security.
While it has found a substantial audience through its dry-witted playfulness, Slow Horses is fundamentally a heart-racing thriller, one that intelligently uses its profoundly human and imperfect characters to engross viewers in the emotional tension of the story, as well as the political and investigative suspense. Its five-season run thus far has been a procession of high-stakes thrills laced with black comedy, and it has made for a bona fide hit of 2020s television as well as a defining success for Apple TV.
4
‘Ozark’ (2017–2022)
The early years of television’s golden age had defining masterpieces like The Sopranos and The Wire that established crime drama suspense as a small-screen spectacle to behold. Then came series like Breaking Bad and Boardwalk Empire. While the genre has probably subsided somewhat in the past decade, it has still produced several noteworthy gems, with Netflix’s Ozark being chief among them as it follows the Byrde family who, forced to work as an asset for a Mexican drug cartel, relocate to the Ozarks to implement a money laundering and drug smuggling operation.
Not dissimilar to Breaking Bad, Ozark thrives as a pulsating thriller by featuring an ordinary protagonist thrust into a life of crime, making every decision feel more resonant, and every life-threatening obstacle more hopeless and enthralling. Through the journey of the Byrdes and the allies and enemies they make in their new home, Ozark delivers four seasons of relentless, ever-building tension that epitomizes crime television suspense at its absorbing and addictive best.
3
‘Dark’ (2017–2020)
Another small-screen masterpiece produced by Netflix, Dark overcame its language barrier to ensnare millions of viewers the world over with its winding, intricate story that includes everything from mind-bending sci-fi to visceral mystery drama. When children start going missing from the German town of Winden, the dark pasts and hidden truths of four of the region’s stalwart families begin to unfurl. The revelation of a wormhole in a cave delivers some sort of answer to the disturbing mystery, but it also plunges those involved on a time-jumping journey that could jeopardize the fate of the entire universe.
Conceived as a tight, three-season series from the beginning, Dark astounds with its narrative precision. Its ability to not only conjure suspense and even horror from the mere revelation of plot details, but to deliver every integral piece of information exactly when it is needed as well, is a feat that is nothing short of ingenious. Also finding tremendous weight in its nuanced and complex character, gloomy atmospheric dread, and its unwavering focus on emotional stakes, Dark is a masterful blending of sci-fi, mystery, and suspense that makes for one of the most defining and ambitious television thrillers in the medium’s history.
2
‘Severance’ (2022–Present)
The flagship series of Apple TV’s catalog thus far, and a defining triumph of small-screen entertainment in the 2020s, Severance marks another title to extract unbearable tension from a fundamentally science-fiction story. Set in a world where corporations can have their employees’ memories surgically divided between their work lives and personal experiences, it follows Mark Scout (Adam Scott) as he rallies a small cohort of his colleagues to figure out the true nature of Lumon Industries’ work.
Finding timely resonance in its emphasis on the cultural imbalance many people experience between their professional and private lives, the shady nature of powerful corporations, and the uneasy sense of power many workplaces hold over their employees, Severance is a masterful parable of modern life that asks compelling and relatable questions with its high-concept premise. Also flaunting a piercing satirical wit and rich, engrossing world-building that keeps viewers enthralled, Severance is a sci-fi thriller that has delivered two stunning seasons thus far, with a third set to begin production later this year.
1
‘Mindhunter’ (2017–2019)
In some ways, it is cruel that Netflix only produced two seasons of Mindhunter, with the arresting and atmospheric crime thriller finding a perfect balance between the modern interest in true crime and television tropes that have made crime series so alluring for decades. Set in the 1970s, it follows two FBI agents and a psychologist as they travel around America interviewing detained serial killers. The insights they gain into their motivations, backgrounds, and methodology are applied to active investigations, thus spawning criminal profiling.
Bolstered by David Fincher’s involvement, the series refrains from shocking imagery or grueling details to conjure suspense, instead delving into the warped psyche of some of America’s most notorious and infamous criminals to create a compelling and psychologically disturbing descent into the nature of human evil. Complimented by its agonizing yet hypnotic slow-burn pacing and its rich, cinematic visual display, Mindhunter is a defining triumph of thriller television that stands tall among the best series of any genre from the past decade.

Hulu’s Funniest 2-Part Crime Series Is Officially Taking Over the Streaming Charts
Hulu is one of the most well-rounded streaming services with a diverse library, but its slate of comedies and dramedies is its strongest asset. The streamer has delivered hits like Only Murders in the Building, The Bear, and The Great, all in the past five years. And looking ahead, the future seems bright for the streamer, as some of the aforementioned shows return for new seasons, while new shows like Not Suitable for Work make their mark. However, one of the best comedy shows on Hulu is an underrated hit show that just returned for an even stronger second season.
This show can be described as The Sopranos, but with a comedic twist. It is funny, sharp, and well-acted. With a 98% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, it remains one of the top-rated shows on Hulu. Titled Deli Boys, the comedy just aired its second season, which has scored a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. The six-episode season has pushed the show up the streamer’s global charts, making it one of the most-streamed shows according to FlixPatrol. Additionally, it is also available on Disney+, where it has replicated that same success.
Deli Boys follows two brothers, Mir (Asif Ali) and Raj (Sagar Shaikh), who inherit their family business after their father’s death. However, they learn that what they thought was a successful deli business was actually a well-oiled drug operation. The brothers find themselves entangled with the business under the guidance of their aunt, Lucky (Poorna Jagannathan). Season 2 finds them facing a money problem when they become too good at their job and need a money launderer. Still, in this line of work, law enforcement is always circling, and competitors use any means at their disposal to corner the market. The trio’s attempt to solve these issues gives birth to a hilarious comedy.
What Did Critics Say About ‘Deli Boys’ Season 2?
While critics loved everything about the season, they felt like it was too short. With four fewer episodes, the show delivers a two-hour comedic experience that leaves viewers wanting more. Collider’s Tania Hussain said it “remains one of the funniest and most distinctive shows to come out of streaming,” in her review of Deli Boys Season 2. ScreenRant‘s Angel Shaw noted the short episode count but praised the show for not caving under the pressure of a shorter runway, calling the writing “great.” Nandini Balial of RogerEbert echoed the other critics, calling it “rich, joyous, and one of the funniest shows of the year.” Deli Boys was created by Abdulla Saeed.
Stream all episodes on Hulu and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Prime Video’s Divisive Sci-Fi Finale Is Still a Streaming Hit Despite Fan Backlash
Prime Video has had more than its fair share of big TV shows return this year already, but nothing has had as much anticipation behind it as the fifth and final season of The Boys. The show first arrived back in the summer of 2019, and it was such an unknown at the time, that Prime Video debuted all episodes of the series at once — it didn’t waste any time becoming one of the hottest binges of the year. Over the course of five seasons in seven years — an impressive turnaround schedule for any show with this level of budget — The Boys became one of Prime Video’s flagship properties. There were high expectations heading into The Boys Season 5, but it didn’t take fans long to begin picking apart the show’s final outing, which will undoubtedly taint how it’s remembered in the long run.
The Boys Season 5 was an absolute home run with critics, registering a strong 93% on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, but it was an entirely different story among the show’s passionate fan base. The final season’s rating on the audience-driven Popcornmeter falls to a Rotten 49%, which is far and away the lowest rating of any season. This negative reception hasn’t stopped fans from continuing to watch the final season of The Boys, though — it’s still one of the platform’s top 10 most-watched titles more than two weeks removed from the Season 5 finale. The Boys fans may not have a new season of Gen V to look forward to now that The Boys is over, but Vought’s story will continue through another spin-off confirmed to air before the end of 2027.
What Do We Know About ‘Vought Rising’?
Mere days after The Boys series finale, Prime Video revealed the first official trailer for Vought Rising, which stars Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash as Soldier Boy and Clara, respectively. The spin-off series is turning the clock back to the World War II era, showing Vought’s rise to power as Supes were still new to the world. Eric Kripke is not the lead writer on Vought Rising, but he is an executive producer and is certainly involved in the show’s creative direction. Additional cast members for Vought Rising include Will Hochman as Torpedo, Mason Dye as Bombsight, Rohan Mead as Jimmy, and Katherine Winter as Private Angel.
Check out all five seasons of The Boys on Prime Video, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Vought Rising.

Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships. We receive compensation when you click on a link and make a purchase. Learn more!
Dads are notoriously difficult to shop for, but the last thing we’re going to do is resort to a run-of-the-mill coffee mug. So, I gathered the best Father’s Day gifts — under $50! — that he would be thrilled to receive. Whether he is into grilling, travel, fitness or, well, doesn’t really have any hobbies at all, my 9+ years of experience as a shopping writer and editor is here to help you out.
Remember, the best Father’s Day gifts don’t have to be expensive, but they do have to be thoughtful. That means you should choose something that genuinely feels like something he’d love and use. Just because a gift is a good gift doesn’t mean it’s a good gift for your dad specifically.
Best Father’s Day Gifts Under $50

$45
For the Outdoor Adventurer
Whether he’s headed to the beach or on a kayak, he’ll want to keep some of his belongings safe from the water and sand. This Yeti case is waterproof and comes in 1-, 3- and 6-liter options to hold his phone, wallet and more. It comes in nearly 20 colors and uses powerful magnets to keep it safe from any liquids from sneaking in.

$37
For the Guy Who Needs Self Care
Truth be told: Some dads just don’t know much about skincare, but that’s what you’re here for! My husband swears by the Jack Black brand, and this set includes everything they need to start and end the day, including daily facial cleanser, moisturizer, lip balm and an energizing scrub. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love the Intense Therapy Lip Balm with sun protection factor (SPF) 25 for myself. It makes my lips so soft, even in the most brutal of winters.

$49
For the Watch Wearer
The next time he’s headed on a work trip or vacation, he’ll have a travel watch case specifically designed to hold the important piece of jewelry. I’m a sucker for a personalized option, and Mark and Graham lets you select the design and characters you want to include. Useful and customized? This is a winning Father’s Day gift all around.

$30
For the Office Worker
His home away from home, aka his work desk, can be dressed up with a sweet “Best Dad Ever” cube. The 3-by-3 decoration lets you include your own four photos, so dad can rotate it every day for a fresh view of his favorite people. The sweet reminder that he’s the best is the cherry on top.

You save: 21%
$27$34
For the Serious Sweater
Whether he’s commuting to the office or mowing the lawn, summer temperatures can get brutal. Ensure he’s as comfortable as possible with a portable fan designed to sit around his neck. This option has a bladeless design, five speeds and rechargeable capability.

$10
For the Bourbon Sipper
This might be the most fun way to mix his drink. The rotatable whiskey glass comes with a wooden coaster designed to spin, which is just cool on its own, but it actually helps accelerate decanting. My husband hinted at wanting a similar glass to enjoy his bourbon, so it must be different enough from his other glasses. Plus, it’s heavy, too, at 1 pound, so it’ll have a nice feel to it in his hands.

You save: 6%
$17$18
For the Always-Sore Dad
Pain, tension and soreness will be on their way out when he uses this massage roller ball. Designed to be used hot or cold, it’ll be a workout fiend’s new best friend. His neck, back, arms, legs, feet and beyond will get sweet relief.

$46
For the Seasoned Seasoner
Having used Saltverk for years, I can tell you that these gourmet salts make a true difference in mealtime. If dad is all about seasoning meats and vegetables to perfection, he’ll be impressed with this four-pack variety. I bet he’s never had flaky salt quite like it.

$25
For the Football Fan
You can’t go wrong with a comfortable way for him to rep his favorite NFL team. These football logo slides have an adjustable strap, so they’ll have the ideal fit across his feet. The next time he runs out for an errand or is just lounging around the house, he’ll be wearing these.

$45
For the Outdoorsy Type
You never know when dad will need a water-resistant blanket, so he’ll keep this pick in his car at all times. The lightweight, puffy blanket comes in two sizes and various colors. The next time he needs a dry, clean place to sit — maybe at a concert? — he’ll be glad you got him one.

You save: 65%
$34$98
For the Always-Hot Dad
Dads love to be comfortable, especially during the warmer months, but he can still look nice in a lightweight button-down. This 100% linen option from Quince is just as reliable as his favorite tees, but the collar makes it more elevated without adding warmth. Give dad the gift of style!

$35
For the Always-on-the-Go Dad
Designed to fit in his car’s cup holder, this Stanley tumbler holds up to 30 ounces of his beverage of choice. It keeps liquid cold for up to 20 hours, thanks to the stainless steel. I love how this leak-resistant option has a handle for portability and flip-up straw to avoid germs.

You save: 4%
$25$26
For the A+ Angler
Is dad’s fishing gear taking over his garage? Help him stay organized and ready for the next adventure with this fishing rod organizer bag. It can hold up to five poles and has plenty of compartments for must-have accessories.

$32
For the Kid at Heart
You never truly outgrow playing with toys, and he’ll relive the carefree fun from his childhood with a mini drone. It has three gear speeds and can do 360-degree flips. But what’s really awesome is the camera, so he can capture his adventures.

You save: 20%
$40$50
For the Slip-On Enthusiast
No dad will be disappointed in comfortable footwear, and that’s what he’ll get with these Crocs slides. They have deep, cupped footbeds to offer a sink-in feeling. These slides are easy to clean, too, so he can rinse them off if they get muddy after cleaning up the garden.

$40
For the Coffee Snob
His morning coffee could use an upgrade, so usher him into the world of French press coffee. This stainless steel gadget brews 8 cups of his favorite variety in just four minutes. However, he can tailor that timing and coffee-to-water ratio to create his ideal cup.

$10
For the Sentimental Man
You just might make dad tear up this Father’s Day with a reminder of just how much he means to you. This book has prompts for you to fill in, so when he opens it, he’ll find lessons, memories and more you’ve learned from him. It’s one of those gifts he’ll keep forever.

You save: 22%
$36$46
For the Audiophile
If he’s planning to barbecue or hang outside this summer, he’ll need to play his favorite tunes with this Anker speaker. It is portable and wireless and offers up to 24 hours of playtime on one battery charge. Plus, it’s waterproof, so he can keep it by the pool without a worry.

$22
For the Movie Buff
Dad talks about how he’s seen all the classic films, but how many has he really seen? Allow him to keep track so he knows what he still needs to watch with this scratch-off poster. This top 100 movies list comes from IMDb and will be frame-worthy once he’s gone through them all.

$40
For the Home Chef
I predict some killer smash burgers on the way once he has this cast-iron griddle pan. One side is flat, and the other has ridges, so he can use the one he needs depending on what’s on the menu. He can use this pan on the stovetop, in the oven, on the grill and even on a campfire.

You save: 8%
$46$50
For the Designated Driver
Dad is always teaching you things, but now you can teach him to protect himself when he drives with a dash cam. This option has dual vision, so he can get footage in the front and rear. He won’t have to worry about deleting footage, either, because it’ll continue to film over the oldest video.
