Jessie Buckley is set to become The Bride! in Maggie Gyllenhaal‘s new reimagining of Frankenstein next week. To prepare yourself, you might want to watch Bride of Frankenstein, the 1935 horror movie that introduced the world to the monster’s better (or worse) half. If so, there’s good news: The Universal horror hit that just turned 90 is headed to a new streamer next month.

HBO Max will host Bride of Frankenstein starting on March 1, 2026. It’s a clever bit of cross-promotion, as the streamer’s corporate parent, Warner Bros., will release The Bride! in theaters a few days later. The film has Boris Karloff-sized shoes to fill; Bride of Frankenstein was directed by James Whale, who had already filmed Frankenstein, The Old Dark House, and The Invisible Man. Steeped in Christian imagery, raw emotion, and genuine horror, Bride of Frankenstein is generally considered to be the greatest of all the Universal Horror movies of the 1930s and 1940s, surpassing its predecessor. The fleeting but indelible image of the creature’s bride, swathed in bandages and with an electrified beehive hairdo, has become one of the most iconic sights in horror cinema.

What Is ‘The Bride of Frankenstein’ About?

Taking place after the explosive climax of 1931’s Frankenstein, both Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive, Dracula) and his creation (Karloff) have survived. Frankenstein is nursed back to health by his fiancée, Elizabeth (Valerie Hobson, Kind Hearts and Coronets), while the monster wanders the wilderness. Still believing he is destined to unlock the secrets of life and death, Henry visits his old mentor, Dr. Septimus Pretorius (Ernest Thesiger, Scrooge), who wishes to create a mate for Frankenstein’s monster. Although Frankenstein initially cooperates, he becomes increasingly unsettled by Pretorius’ madness; however, he’s press-ganged into assisting when Pretorius’ goons kidnap his now-wife. Soon, the female creature (Elsa Lanchester, who also plays Mary Shelley in a fictional prologue about a continuation of Frankenstein) is ready to be brought to life, but the creature may have some objections…

The making of the film and Whale’s later life were chronicled in the 1998 biopic Gods and Monsters, which starred Ian McKellen as Whale. It was written and directed by Bill Condon, who was attached to direct a remake of Bride of Frankenstein for the now-defunct Dark Universe.

The Bride of Frankenstein will stream on HBO Max starting on March 1, 2026. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.

From the 2000s through the early 2010s, Steve Carell was America’s comedy king. He was ever-present across the entire genre, whether on television with his defining role as Michael Scott on The Office, or on the big screen in everything from Anchorman to Crazy, Stupid, Love, and Despicable Me. One of his most unexpected co-stars, however, was Mark Wahlberg. At the time, the Oscar nominee remained best known for his more dramatic thriller roles like The Departed and The Fighter. In 2010, however, he leaned into his own humorous side not once, but twice, most notably sharing the screen with Will Ferrell in the beloved buddy comedy, The Other Guys, while also joining Carell and Tina Fey for the less-heralded Date Night.

Directed by Deadpool & Wolverine helmer Shawn Levy, Date Night serves as the perfect vehicle to unite Carell, Fey, and Wahlberg by combining an action movie and a rom-com in one package. The Office and 30 Rock stars play married couple Phil and Claire Foster, who fear the spark has been lost from their marriage. To shake things up, they plan a night out at the hottest restaurant in Manhattan, only to be thrust into the most unforgettable night of their lives when they claim another couple’s reservation. In taking the place of said couple, they also become the targets of a group of armed thugs in search of a flash drive, beginning a chaotic chase across the city. Wahlberg enters the picture as security agent Holbrooke Grant, who helps the couple handle a situation that they are very clearly in over their heads with, and looks good while doing it.

Fittingly, Date Night has the making of a great date night movie with its mix of riotous and memorable lines, like Carell’s much-quoted “kill shot” bit, suspense, and newfound spark between the Fosters in their perilous situation. It also just became even easier for HBO Max subscribers to watch, as it’s now available to stream on the platform as part of a wave of new additions for March. Carell, Fey, and Wahlberg are joined in the rom-com by a star-studded cast that also features Taraji P. Henson, Common, Jimmi Simpson, William Fichtner, Leighton Meester, Mark Ruffalo, Kristen Wiig, Mila Kunis, and more. At the time of its release, it garnered a respectable $152.3 million at the box office, though reviews were a bit more mixed. However, most critics had high praise for the starring duo’s comedy chops and chemistry.

Steve Carell Will Soon Return to Television With a Complete Reinvention

Carell recently reunited with Fey for the Netflix comedy series The Four Seasons to critical acclaim last year in a return to television. 2026 will see his small-screen efforts continue, with the upcoming HBO dramedy series Rooster from Shrinking creator Bill Lawrence and co-showrunner Matt Tarses. He plays Greg Russo, a noted novelist who finds himself sucked into the world of academia after visiting a campus for a reading. Complicating matters is that his daughter (Charly Clive) is a professor there, forcing the duo to confront their rocky relationship. Also starring Danielle Deadwyler, Phil Dunster, John C. McGinley, and Lauren Tsai, the show will premiere next weekend on March 8, with episodes joining Date Night on the HBO Max catalog thereafter.

Date Night checks into HBO Max on March 1. Stay tuned here at Collider for more on all the biggest titles coming to and leaving streaming.

The Leaders Esteem Christian Bible University has come under scrutiny, and so has the plethora of honorary doctorate degrees it has awarded over the years. Trina, Tyrese, Yung Joc, Towanda Braxton, Cynthia Bailey, and Trick Daddy are just some of the celebrities who have received honorary degrees from the institution.

But are they legit?

Now, The Shade Room’s Justin Carter is delving into the question and getting some answers, speaking to bible university’s founder, Dr. Verna Caddie, on ‘TSR Investigates.’

Are The Celebrity Honorary Doctorate Degrees From The Leaders Esteem Christian Bible University A Scam?

According to Carter, the Leaders Esteem Christian Bible University is an online institution “where students discover and grow in their God-given gifts and callings.” Furthermore, the school’s website notes that students can obtain Associate’s, Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral degrees. However, when Gladys Muturi dug into LECU, she ended up with questions rather than answers.

“I found a photo of the building, but it doesn’t look like a university building. It looked like an office building,” she told Carter. “[On the website] there was a donation page where you can donate $150-$3,000.”

Like Muturi, content creator Robert Coleman was questioning the validity of the school and its honorary degrees.

“When I see people like Trick Daddy, or Yung Joc, or a Cynthia Bailey — it’s just like, what have you done that’s significant for you to receive this type of award?” Coleman explained.

More On The Celebrity Honorary Doctorate Degrees

At that point, Carter noted the question of whether the school was using celebrity attendance to sell graduation tickets and earn money. Additionally, he also noted that the thought of whether the institution is seeking to prey on those interested in the “doctor” title.

Scroll above to watch as Carter speaks to Dr. Verna Caddie about the skepticism surrounding the school and its honorary doctorate degrees. Dr. Caddie shared her educational credentials and the inspiration behind founding LECU. Additionally, Carter shares what he learned after looking into whether the school is registered with the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, and his overall conversation with Dr. Caddie.
