Jon Bernthal is on a ride this year. 2026 started for the fan-favorite with Netflix’s His & Hers, a murder mystery where he stars opposite Tessa Thompson. The miniseries proved a big hit for the streamer as it broke into its all-time top 10 list with 98.2 million views. Then he inflicted some emotional damage with The Bear’s surprise prequel, Gary, which he co-wrote with co-star Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
With one episode, the emotional framework for The Bear’s final season changes as we get to see more of Mikey’s (Bernthal) internal state and his friendship with Richie. The 100% Rotten Tomatoes-rated special will tug at your heart and give a glimpse of the character that casts a long shadow on Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) and the restaurant. In the same week, Bernthal also came out with the highly anticipated MCU Special Presentation, The Punisher: One Last Kill.
While we have been on a journey with The Punisher since his Netflix days, his standalone MCU entry meant a lot for longtime fans. Frank Castle was first introduced in Daredevil: Born Again Season 1, but The Punisher: One Last Kill gives him a fresh start before we meet him in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Just like how Gary gave us a peek into Michael’s troubled life, the MCU entry gives a Bernthal character a chance to heal with Frank Castle. One Last Kill finds Frank after he has avenged his family, but as it happens, grief takes its own course, and in the end, vengeance leaves you empty. The special brilliantly showcases a Frank who finds a reason to keep going after he has fulfilled his long-term goal, and with him, fans too move on. The R-rated, pared-down, no-holds-barred actioner was something both fans and the character needed to make an impression in the MCU.

Where do you feel most in your element? Sheridan’s worlds are as much about place as they are about people.

Sheridan Has Spoken You Belong In…
The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.

You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.
You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.

You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.
You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.
