Lizzo released her third studio album, “B-TCH,” on June 5, 2026. Sadly, the new LP not only failed to deliver any significant hits but also missed the Billboard Top 200 album chart altogether, selling under 3,000 copies in its first week. Now, the “Truth Hurts” singer is opening up about the failure as she begins recording new music.

Lizzo appeared on an episode of the “Proto Pop” podcast in June 2026. In a clip released ahead of the full interview, the host, Zachary, also known as The Swiftologist, asked the singer how she would describe the state of her career amid the release of “B-TCH.”

She said, “I think right now, dropping the album, I took it to heart really, really heavily.” From there, Lizzo went on to share her “non-PR” response, saying, “I hurt my own feelings, and I was really stressed, and I was really sad for a few days because I just was like, ‘Wait a minute, this is like some of my best stuff.’”

From there, the songstress discussed being forced to “come to terms” with the fact that the music industry landscape has changed “in the last three years.” She added, “But also, my relationship and my connection musically with the world is different, and I think I kind of had to mourn that.”

Lizzo Knew Her Album Might Struggle Three Weeks Before Its Release

The interview continued as Zachary mentioned Lizzo’s social media posts in which she claimed her record label, Atlantic Records, wasn’t promoting her album properly. Regarding the promotion for the music, she stated, “I kind of like took control a little bit.”

After that, she reflected on the attention she had received in the past when announcing new music and compared it to the reception of “B-TCH.” Specifically, she mentioned presales and presaves for the album. However, this time around, three weeks before the album’s release, she learned that the presaves on streaming platforms were far lower than expected.

She recalled her reaction, saying, “Let me go full force, and I went out, and I was hanging up posters, and I was talking to people, and I was connecting.”

Lizzo then said about the album sales, “And I had all of these high hopes for what we would do the first week, and it didn’t match. I was so excited because I met my presave goal and then it dropped, and I was like, ‘Oh, okay, this isn’t what I kind of thought it would be.’”

In reflecting on the days after the album was released, Lizzo noted, “24 hours of my life where I based my success and my worth on a number, and I think that was soul-crushing.” Toward the end of the clip, she revealed that SZA had called to check on her and asked her fellow singer, “Am I a failure?”

Fans Are Weighing In

Following Lizzo’s comments about the failure of her latest album, fans are sharing their opinions. In many cases, the “Truth Hurts” singer is receiving support, with many social media users acknowledging that most musicians experience failed projects at some point in their careers. However, others say she’s dodging blame, claiming her new music isn’t up to par.

One person said, “I love that she’s brave enough to talk about this.” Another social media user observed, “More people liked this video than bought the album.” Someone else stated, “It has nothing to do with the radio, Lizzo. The music is not good.”

Lastly, a different person wrote, “Love her, but I feel like she doesn’t take accountability for the music not being up to par and instead blames it on changes in the music industry/radio?”

How Many Copies Did The Album Sell?

Given that Lizzo’s “B-TCH” missed the Billboard Top 200 chart, the exact number of albums she sold wasn’t immediately clear. It was initially understood that the album moved under 5,000 units. However, Rolling Stone UK confirmed that the album sold only 2,500 copies in its first week.

For comparison, according to Entertainment Weekly, her previous album, 2022’s “Special,” sold 69,000 total album equivalent units. It debuted at number two on the Billboard Top 200 chart.

Lizzo Recently Confirmed She’s In The Studio

Lizzo took to her private TikTok page, LizzoIRL, on June 19 to confirm that she had returned to the studio. She did so by posting a clip of herself standing behind a microphone, with what appears to be a new song playing in the background. She used a text overlay that read, “Making new sh-t.”

After that, she responded to fans, insisting that the “B-TCH” era had not ended and that more promotional efforts were on the horizon.

While impressive new shows are coming out all the time, many series that have already completed their run are impossible to beat. Fortunately, in the age of binge-watching, streaming services allow subscribers to access and fall in love with shows long after their conclusion. This enables such shows to remain relevant and, in some cases, gain an entirely new audience. The phenomenon can be seen in the reemergence of series like Gilmore Girls, Suits, and, more recently, Las Vegas has joined this group. The NBC series may be 23 years old, but even after all that time, it is a popular purchase on the Apple Store, proving that this five-season show has a lot to offer.

The comedy-drama is NBC’s most ambitious story, as seen by the massive cost of the pilot alone. Premiering in 2003, Las Vegas explores the staff of a fictional casino in the famed city. The series initially met strong viewership, but that gradually declined throughout its run. However, Las Vegas has received a second chance through streaming, opening itself up to a new audience who can enjoy all the shocks and drama of the series despite the decades since its release.

What Is ‘Las Vegas’ About?

There are many shows about a workplace, but Las Vegas is unique because its setting offers a rare level of drama. The series follows the security team of the Montecito Resort and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. As you would guess, the glamorous background of Sin City makes for plenty of stories, as the characters deal with everything from power outages to rival casinos to bomb threats. While this concept has potential on its own, the characters and the constant drama in their lives make it that much better. Las Vegas primarily follows the head of security and surveillance, Ed Deline (James Caan), and his protégé, Danny McCoy (Josh Duhamel). As the former director of counterintelligence for the CIA, Ed can be strict, but he’s also a father figure to his employees, particularly Danny, who has his own past as a U.S. Marine. With exciting character backstories and pasts that always seem to resurface, Las Vegas creates an endearing cast.

Part of what makes Las Vegas such a memorable series is the constant drama between the characters. Danny is often the center of this as he develops an on-and-off romance with his coworker and childhood friend, Mary (Nikki Cox), and also a similar dynamic with Delinda (Molly Sims), Ed’s daughter. These relationships add plenty of drama to the already fast-paced story, but that isn’t the only source of tension. Throughout its run, Las Vegas takes several shocking twists, ranging from the hotel changing owners to murder cases. Though it occasionally ventures into soap opera-like territory, Las Vegas‘ exciting story and lovable characters make for the perfect guilty pleasure watch.

NBC Took a Risk on ‘Las Vegas’

Its five-season run and recent streaming success prove that Las Vegas was a good idea, but the series was a risky move for NBC. The pilot was an expensive endeavor, costing the network five million dollars for just one episode. With the advent of streaming, TV series have become more costly, but at the time, this expense made Las Vegas NBC’s priciest pilot (though it has since been dethroned). Ultimately, that risk paid off, delivering an exciting show, until it was canceled rather abruptly. Though declining ratings, high production costs, cast departures, and the 2008 Writers’ Strike ended the series too soon, Las Vegas is still worth watching, as many are discovering.

Las Vegas is available to purchase on Apple TV, and it is gaining attention there, and rightfully so. With its lovable characters, shocking twists, and constant drama, the 2003 series is a perfect binge-watch. There is no show quite like Las Vegas, and that’s why it has stood the test of time, remaining relevant 23 years later.

As an avid traveler, I’ve been to Greek, Italian and Spanish beaches, but this year I’m venturing to the British coast — specifically Cornwall. My packing list looks a bit different from my previous European summer vacations. Rather than party-ready ensembles, I’m folding breezy linen sets, elegant dresses and even some lightweight sweaters into my suitcase, similarly to how I’d pack for Cape Cod.

Every beach destination has a different uniform, so if you’re also heading to the laidback shores of the UK — or just want to look like you are — you’ll want to shop this curated list of everything I’ll be wearing. With these picks, you’ll be confused for a local in one of Britain’s greatest treasures, and have everyone complimenting your easy-chic summer style.

21 Pieces to Nail British Coastal Style for Summer 2026

Dresses

1. A Bit of Blue: The water in Cornwall is crystal clear and disappears into a blue horizon. I plan on matching the ocean with a flowing maxi dress. The contrast detailing reminds me of the waves.

2. Keep It Simple: Every coastal trip requires a pristine white dress (I don’t make the rules!). This casual pick, with its tiered skirt, is perfect for waterside strolls.

3. Polka Dot Dreams: Navy and white are classic maritime colors, but instead of opting for nautical stripes, the hues get a trendy upgrade with Beach Riot’s linen and cotton polka dot maxi.

4. Pretty Pattern: Leaning into the seaside vibes, this striped dress embellished with beachy motifs — like beach chairs, lobsters and clams — is simply too cute not to pack.

5. One of Each: This 100% linen dress is so flattering and simple, I admittedly bought it in four colors, including navy, moonstone blue, gingham and olive.

6. Coverup and More: I originally bought Quince’s button-up linen shirt dress to wear as a coverup, but I find myself using it for more. It even comes in handy when I don’t know what to throw on after showering.

The official start of summer is just a few days away, but we’d think it’s already here with how hot it’s been on the East Coast. So of course, we’re in the throes of piecing together an epic summer wardrobe filled with beach babe finds that are perfect for vacationing in the Hamptons, Nantucket or […]

Matching Sets

7. Easy Breezy: Since Europe is in the middle of a heatwave, this linen pants set will keep me cool, and I love that I can get more wear out of it by pairing the top and bottoms with different pieces.

8. Coastal Chic: Any trip to the seaside calls for a striped set. This tank and shorts combo takes the nautical vibe to new levels with the rope-drawstring bottoms.

9. The Trendy Pick: Gingham prints are unavoidable this summer. PrettyGarden’s green gingham pant set feels calmer than the traditional red hue and will blend right in with the soft color scheme of coastal England.

10. Dress It Up: For special nights out, I’m pulling out all the stops — while still evoking an effortless vibe — with this vest halter top and palazzo pants set. The orange hue will look amazing against the sunset.

11. Feelin’ Blue: When I’m wandering around the coast, I’ll be wearing this embroidered blue and cream shorts set. The detail is impeccable for the price.

Linen Bottoms

12. Out of Office: Trousers aren’t just for the office anymore. This linen pair exudes a beachy aura that feels more relaxed than similar tailored styles.

13. Whimsical Vibes: One thing’s for sure — I can’t wait to frolic in the sand as this billowing linen and cotton skirt flows behind me like in the movies.

14. In Transit: My favorite thing about the 100% European Linen Pants from Quince? They’re the ultimate travel bottoms. Soft, stretchy and oh-so-comfy, I wear them on the plane and once I reach my destination.

15. Low Rise: Embrace the low-rise trend with some relaxed linen pants that won’t pinch or pull on your midsection.

16. Little Secret: Skorts are the ultimate bottoms to pack while traveling. The undershorts are hidden in Open Edit’s asymmetrical style, making it easier to dress up.

Lightweight Sweaters

17. Cutest Coverup: I love how this crocheted sweater doubles as a beach coverup for the chillier days I still want to spend beside the water.

18. Double Trouble: Be ready for any weather — warm or cold — with this convenient two-in-one cable knit sweater. It comes with a spaghetti strap tank and a cardigan embroidered with roses.

19. Fight the Breeze: Boat rides are always windy. Instead of bearing through the chill, I’m packing a batwing cardigan for instant warmth.

20. Casually Cool: Forget what your grandma told you, this slightly slouchy sweater doesn’t look frumpy. It’s actually the key to looking effortlessly chic, especially while on the Cornish coast.

21. Sneaky Hack: I’ve always struggled to pull off a sweater draped over my shoulder. This handy shawl helps me master the preppy coastal look.

After spending the most blissful first week of summer in Cape Cod, one thing’s for sure: Sundresses are part of the summer uniform here.

Show of hands, who cheated while playing Battleship? If your hand is down, you’re lying. Cheating your friends playing Battleship is a rite of passage which is why, somehow, Hasbro thought it would be the perfect property to cash in on the rise of Transformers back in 2012. 14 years later and it’s one of the top streaming movies on Amazon Prime, finally achieving its destiny: guilty pleasure Dad movie. 

Top Gun By Sea

You can tell Battleship is from the early 2010’s because it stars Taylor Kitsch back when Hollywood was trying to make him the next big action star. If John Carter received the support it needed, it could have worked, but instead he starred in one box office bomb after another through no fault of his own. As Naval Officer Alex Hopper, Kitsch does a great job channeling Tom Cruise’s Maverick in Battleship, right down to trying to impress the Admiral’s daughter. 

Where Battleship gets weird is when the alien spaceships land and isolate Hawaii from the rest of the world under an impenetrable force field. That and the alien weapons look a lot like the pegs from the game Battleship. Outgunned, outmanned, and with no one coming to save them, it’s up to Alex to lead the survivors of the American and Japanese Pacific Fleets against the alien invasion. And by now you’re wondering how this corny sounding sci-fi movie is a massive streaming hit, well, it’s because of what comes next. 

The Greatest Final Act In Movie History

For the entire first two-thirds of Battleship it’s an incredibly corny movie where everyone, from Liam Neeson as the Admiral to Jesse Plemons and Rami Malek as sailors, understood the assignment and is chewing up every bit of scenery. Then, with no ship left, Alex says “we have a battleship,” and the camera pans to the U.S.S. Missouri docked at Pearl Harbor. In case you’re wondering what makes this a modern classic Dad movie, it’s this scene. Get your parents, get your grandparents, have them watch the movie, and wait until they reach the Missouri. 

Onboard the ship-turned-historical museum, the survivors have no idea how to run an analog, old-school ship. That’s when the veterans appear, one by one. Played by the real veterans of the Missouri and other ships of the era (there’s a U.S.S. Carolina cap in there too!), the veterans get to work teaching the kids how the ship works, all set to the sounds of AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck.” This is catnip for boomers, and if you know any old seaman who haven’t watched this, you owe it to them to share it. 

Battleship Is A Streaming Success Wherever It Sails

Battleship may be one of the biggest box office flops in history, losing both Hasbro and Universal roughly $150 million each after earning only $300 million at the box office, which after theatrical cuts and marketing, wasn’t enough for anything resembling a profit. It’s also one of the greatest streaming success stories in history. Every time Battleship arrives on a streaming service, it’s in the top 10 for weeks. No one wants to admit they love this movie, but it’s okay, you can admit that once “Thunderstruck” hits you are locked in. 

When the final battle hits, if you aren’t having the time of your life with Battleship, you don’t love movies. Find a boomer, sit down, stream it on Amazon Prime, and remember how much fun you can have when a movie doesn’t take itself seriously.

Over the course of 50 years, 25 movies, and seven different actors, the adventures of James Bond have been a constant on the silver screen. But Bond’s also seen plenty of competition in the action world, whether it’s the brutal beat downs of the John Wick franchise or the cold, calculated carnage of The Equalizer trilogy. Luckily, Netflix has the perfect movie for fans of both approaches, as it not only features enough bloodshed to rival Wick’s exploits but also stars a Bond alum. It’s also a breezy 90 minutes, making it the perfect pick for a weekend watch.

What movie might this be? Fast Charlie. Based on the novel Gun Monkeys by Victor Gischler, Fast Charlie stars Pierce Brosnan as highly skilled mob fixer Charlie Swift. A job gone wrong brings him into the orbit of Marcie Kramer (Morena Baccarin), who also happens to be the ex-wife of his target, Rollo. While sparks fly between the two, they find themselves on the run when up-and-coming crime boss Beggar (Gbenga Akinnagbe) starts murdering all of Charlie’s old acquaintances. What follows is a white-knuckle game of cat and mouse as Charlie and Marcie try to stay one step ahead of Beggar’s forces while finding out why he wanted Rollo dead.

‘Fast Charlie’ Is Crafted By Filmmakers Who Have History With the Crime Genre

To bring Charlie Swift’s tale to life, Fast Charlie couldn’t just rely on a star-studded cast but also on a crew experienced in delivering the kind of blood-soaked, mile-a-minute storytelling that comes with the crime genre. It lucked out with both its director and writer, as Phillip Noyce helmed the movie while Richard Wenk penned the screenplay. Both men are experts in crafting action-packed stories, as Noyce directed the iconic Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger, both starring Harrison Ford and adapting Tom Clancy‘s titular novels. Wenk is best known for penning every installment of the Equalizer trilogy, as well as the Jason Statham action vehicle The Mechanic and Antoine Fuqua‘s remake of The Magnificent Seven.

Together, Noyce and Wenk craft a movie that’s one part mystery, one part action thriller, and one part love story. Most of Fast Charlie is dedicated to Charlie avenging his fallen comrades, while also trying to figure out why Beggar wanted him dead. He also starts to connect more with Marcie, and the two both realize they could have a life together rather than just trying to survive alone. Noyce and Wenk also know when to time their action sequences for maximum impact, including a moment where Charlie gets the drop on two assassins sent to take him out. They also don’t shy away from the bloodshed; bullets pierce through brain matter and nearly everything gets turned into a weapon, with gruesome results.

Pierce Brosnan Shows He Hasn’t Lost His Bond-Era Charm with ‘Fast Charlie’

The best reason to watch Fast Charlie, other than the carefully crafted story or the action sequences, is Pierce Brosnan’s performance as the titular character. Brosnan brings plenty of the charm and calculating menace that defined his role as James Bond, especially when facing off against people he wants to kill or who want to kill him. A great example comes early in the movie, when Charlie meets Beggar; from the start, you can tell there’s no love lost between them, thanks to the thinly veiled disgust that crosses Brosnan’s face. Brosnan also has electric chemistry with Baccarin, and some warmer moments with James Caan, who plays Charlie’s old boss Stan. Given that this was Caan’s final movie role before he passed away in 2022, the moments between Charlie and Stan hit harder than expected.

Netflix viewers also seem to be taking to Fast Charlie, as it made its way onto Netflix’s Top 10 list earlier this month. Whether you’re a fan of Brosnan’s turn as Bond or like a breezy, bloody crime thriller, Fast Charlie should definitely be on your watchlist. It’s proof that even though he’s hung up Bond’s tuxedo, Brosnan can still play a charming yet dangerous antihero.

The 1980s gave horror fans slashers, splatter, video-store trash, punk energy, monster suits, synth dread, practical-effects miracles, and the kind of cheap weirdness that can make a terrible movie lovable. So when an ’80s horror movie actually turned out bad, it had committed a special crime.

It had the easiest decade in horror history to be entertainingly stupid and still found a way to be dead air. The movies on this list, therefore, are not the fun-bad legends you defend at 2 a.m. with pizza and friends. These are the ones that test your soul, your patience, your eyesight, your hearing, and occasionally your belief in editing as a human invention.

‘Monster Dog’ (1984)

Image via Union Films S.A.

Monster Dog is basically Vince Raven (Alice Cooper) starring in a werewolf-adjacent horror and that should be impossible to fully waste. Give him fog, dogs, a cursed family past, a creepy mansion, and a music-video mood, and even a weak movie should at least stumble into cult pleasure. But Monster Dog, oh boy. It somehow takes all of that and makes it feel like someone left a haunted-house attraction running after the staff went home.

The strangest thing is how little danger seems to live inside the frame. Cooper has presence, obviously, but the movie keeps trapping him in scenes that move like wet cardboard. The dubbing gives everyone that disconnected dream-mouth quality where emotions seem to be happening three rooms away from the actors. The dog attacks rarely have bite. The mystery feels like it was assembled from leftover Gothic scraps. Even the rock-star angle barely gives the movie juice, which feels insane considering the man at the center literally built a career out of theatrical horror. The movie is sleepy, murky, and weirdly allergic to its own best selling point.

5

‘Don’t Go in the Woods’ (1981)

Image via Seymour Borde & Associates

This movie feels like a slasher made by people who heard about suspense from a guy at a gas station. Don’t Go in the Woods follows a group of campers wandering through the wilderness while a wild killer picks off random people, and that sounds like perfectly usable early-’80s forest-horror material. Woods, screams, isolation, bad decisions, cheap gore, lost hikers, dirtbag survival panic; the genre practically builds itself.

Then the movie starts moving, and the whole thing becomes a punishment hike. Characters appear with the personality of disposable paper plates. Victims seem dropped into the film just so the body count can keep coughing. The killer has none of the creepy backwoods presence that makes this kind of thing work. The editing feels allergic to geography, so the forest never becomes a place, just a pile of trees the movie keeps pointing at. There is a strange anti-rhythm to it, like every scare happens half a thought after it should. Even the title starts to feel less like a warning and more like a review: don’t go in the woods, and maybe don’t press play either.

4

‘Blood Lake’ (1987)

Image via United Home Video

Some movies are amateur in a charming way. Blood Lake is amateur in the way a family vacation tape becomes unbearable after the fourth minute and then somehow keeps going. The setup promises lake-house slasher trash, the kind of thing where teens drink, flirt, water-ski, ignore obvious danger, and eventually learn that cheap summer freedom comes with a body count. That is a perfectly fine formula. Horror fans have forgiven much worse when the vibe has a pulse.

The problem is that Blood Lake has the dramatic urgency of people waiting for someone’s uncle to fix the boat motor. Scenes sag. Conversations stretch into nothing. The characters talk like the script was discovered under a cooler. The lake barely feels threatening, the killer barely feels present, and the horror barely feels like a priority. It is one of those movies where the dead space becomes the main character. You keep waiting for the grimy home-video texture to become part of the charm, but charm requires at least a little rhythm, a little madness, a little accidental poetry.

3

‘Zombie Nightmare’ (1987)

Image via Shapiro Entertainment

A zombie revenge movie with Adam West (Adam West), Tia Carrere (Tia Carrere), a heavy-metal soundtrack, and a dead man rising to punish the punks who killed him should be gloriously dumb. That combination should deliver at least one perfect video-store fever dream. Instead, Zombie Nightmare has the energy of a movie that keeps forgetting revenge is supposed to feel satisfying.

Tony (Jon Mikl Thor) is a good-hearted muscle guy whose death leads to voodoo resurrection and shambling payback. On paper, beautiful nonsense. On screen, the zombie lumbering is so stiff, so slow, so weirdly unthreatening that every kill feels less like supernatural justice and more like someone missed their bus and decided to murder time. West wanders through the police material with the glazed confidence of a man who knows nobody can hurt his legacy now. The soundtrack keeps trying to pump blood into a corpse the movie itself has already abandoned. It has metal. It has zombies. It has revenge. It has almost no pleasure in any of those things. That is unforgivable.

2

‘Things’ (1989)

Image via Intervision

Things is the kind of movie that makes you question whether cinema was a mistake. Calling it badly made almost feels too polite, because “badly made” suggests recognizable pieces failing to connect. This thing feels transmitted from a cursed basement through damaged cables into the softest part of your brain.

There is a plot somewhere involving an experimental fertility procedure, disgusting little creatures, and people trapped in a house, but plot becomes irrelevant once the movie starts attacking basic human comprehension. The sound is legendary for all the wrong reasons. People speak like their dialogue was recorded inside a shoebox during a power outage. No dig intended at technological limitations of that time (think about The Godfather that came 17 years before it). Scenes drag past the point of awkwardness into a new emotional climate. The creatures look absurd, but the real horror is the dead time between them. Then there is the random newswoman material, the endless wandering, the feeling that every cut is a cry for help. Most bad horror movies fail to scare. Things feels like it was made by fear itself, specifically the fear of being trapped forever in a conversation you cannot hear properly.

1

‘Hobgoblins’ (1988)

Image via American Cinema Marketing/ Shout! Factory

Hobgoblins is the grand champion on this list because it manages to be cheap, ugly, irritating, unfunny, lifeless, and smug about its own nonsense at the same time. Little alien creatures escape from a film studio vault and mess with people by making their fantasies come true in dangerous ways. That concept could have been nasty fun: fake glamour, sleazy dreams, puppet chaos, ’80s trash culture eating itself. Give that premise to the right maniacs and you get a filthy little cult gem.

Hobgoblins gives you puppets that look like carpet samples with eyes, characters who make every room worse by entering it, and comedy that lands with the force of a damp sock. The nightclub scenes feel like time has been legally frozen. The phone-sex subplot is painful in a way that bypasses laughter and goes directly into spiritual fatigue. The creatures barely function as monsters, yet the humans are so unbearable that rooting for anyone becomes work. Plenty of bad horror movies are incompetent. This one feels like it is actively wasting the viewer’s night while grinning from behind a pile of lint. A true 0/10. No scare. No fun. No mercy.

The eyelet-lace floral design is what sets it apart from your standard summer top, and the 3/4-sleeve length hits a flattering spot on the arm.

The details aren’t the only thing shoppers love. One reviewer praised the flattering fit, adding that “the fabric feels luxurious and high-quality.” Another shopper called it a versatile closet staple, writing, “It can be worn everywhere. Daytime to work, evening out to dinner,” and even admitted they were “thinking of buying in more colors.”

That kind of versatility is rare at this price point. Pair it with white denim and sandals for brunch, tuck it into a pencil skirt for the office or layer it under a cardigan once the weather turns. The eyelet detail does the styling work for you, so you don’t have to pile on accessories to feel pulled together.

Wait… Who Brought Up A Thong?

Now, A$AP Rocky had the internet in a frenzy after a viral clip from his tour sparked wild speculation about what fans thought they saw on stage. The conversation quickly spiraled online, but Rocky and his creative agency AWGE wasted no time flipping the narrative right back on everyone.

After the footage began circulating, showing what some users believed was a fashion choice involving thong underwear, AWGE stepped in with a sharp response and turned the moment into a marketing play instead. The label teased its own branded line of thongs while shutting down the rumors, writing, “Don’t be dumb you played yaself,” and adding that what people saw was simply a mic pack. In true Rocky fashion, he and his team flip the situation back onto the internet, spark debate among fans, and reject claims of confusion.

The momentum that Apple TV has accumulated with a series of hit shows in the last few months isn’t slowing down, with another sure-fire winner around the corner. Apple’s streak began with the comedy-drama Margo’s Got Money Problems, and continued with the sci-fi series Star City, the humorous crime thriller Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, and the horror comedy Widow’s Bay. Each of these titles is “Certified Fresh” on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, with Widow’s Bay emerging as a bona fide cultural phenomenon. Even Cape Fear, arguably Apple’s biggest bet this summer, received positive reviews despite not hitting the viewership benchmarks it was projected to. This streak will continue when one of the most acclaimed sci-fi shows on Apple returns with a new season this week.

The show in question debuted in 2023 and returned with a second season in 2024. Over that period, Apple has cemented itself as the go-to hub for sci-fi content, thanks to shows such as Severance, Foundation, and more recently, Pluribus. Don’t forget, the streamer’s longest-running series is the sci-fi hit For All Mankind, which will conclude its six-season run next year. The 2023 series, created by Graham Yost, has already been renewed for a fourth and final season, which will be released in 2027. The show stars Rebecca Ferguson in the lead role, with Tim Robbins, Steve Zahn, and Jessica Henwick in supporting roles.

Here’s When Apple’s Hit Sci-Fi Series Returns

We’re talking, of course, about Silo. The show holds an overall 90% score on Rotten Tomatoes, with both previous seasons being “Certified Fresh” on the aggregator. The show’s third season is set to premiere on July 3. A new episode will be released weekly, with the 10-episode season coming to an end on September 4. The show is based on a series of dystopian novels by Hugh Howey, which take place in a future where humankind lives in underground silos with their own social hierarchies. Ferguson plays an engineer who becomes entangled in the many conspiracies surrounding the survival and subjugation of humanity. Think of it as a combination of Snowpiercer and Apple’s own Severance. You can watch the show on Apple TV, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
