The new shows that Netflix adds to its catalog are coming in so quickly that Untamed, a crime thriller that premiered in July 2025, also seems to have slipped through the cracks and quietly developed a dedicated fan base in the months since its release. Although Untamed didn’t create as much buzz as typical Netflix releases, the numbers speak volumes about the show’s success. Untamed amassed 127 million viewing hours from July through December 2025, according to FlixPatrol.

What helps with the series’ appeal is its setting: rather than being set in traditional urban or police-station settings, Untamed takes place inside Yosemite National Park. It’s a familiar crime-drama setup in some ways, but moving the story into the wilderness gives the series a different kind of tension.

‘Untamed’ Opens With a Death High Above Yosemite

The show doesn’t take long to establish its central mystery. In a shocking incident at the start of the series, two climbers climbing up El Capitan come across a woman who has fallen from above and crashed into their climbing gear, immediately raising the question of how she got there in the first place. Kyle Turner (Eric Bana), a Special Agent with the National Park Service’s Investigative Support Branch, is assigned to investigate the case. Turner has been working in and around Yosemite for many years, and his familiarity with the area is much greater than that of most other visitors.

Initially, the woman appears to have fallen by accident. But as Turner begins to investigate further, the injuries on her body and the possible involvement of other people all suggest that her fall had been premeditated. As time goes on, what appeared to be an accidental fall begins to look like a deliberate act.

Soon after the investigation begins, Turner teams up with Park Ranger Naya Vasquez (Lily Santiago), a former LAPD police officer who has just recently left Los Angeles to take a position with the National Park Service in Yosemite. She’s still adjusting to the scale of the place — and the fact that solving crimes here looks nothing like it does in the city.

Because today is Friday the 13th, let’s march our way through the iconic slasher franchise. Ch-ch-ch-ch. Ha-ha-ha-ha.

Eric Bana Gives the Series Its Rugged Center

Much of Untamed‘s success can be attributed to Bana. Kyle Turner is just one in a long lineage of fictional television detectives who have experienced terrible events in their lives. He lost his son to an accident some years prior, which led to him losing his wife, and he is still impacted by these losses today. Still, he rarely discusses any of it, even though it affects many areas of his life. Bana embodies Turner with a subdued energy that makes him appear more tired than anything else. Turner has no need for extravagant displays or for being noticed; he spends most of his time simply observing and listening, piecing together information in a realistic way.

Santiago’s Naya Vasquez adds an important counterbalance. Her joining the park is a very recent event for this character, who now has the ability to respond with sharper sarcasm than before and to gather the courage to challenge Turner whenever he pushes the limits of his capabilities. Their chemistry is among the top in this series, as they both contribute to furthering an investigation that is becoming increasingly complicated over time.

Also helping to complete this story is a large part of the supporting cast. Sam Neill, playing Chief Ranger Paul Souter, has known Turner for a long time and tries to help keep him from losing himself to the job. Meanwhile, Rosemarie DeWitt plays Turner’s ex-wife, Jill. The way Turner and Jill relate to each other has everything to do with the trauma they have both suffered.

The Netflix Thriller Quietly Found a Large Audience

For a show that didn’t dominate headlines, Untamed still managed to pull in a sizable viewership. Over the second half of 2025, the series accumulated 127 million hours watched, a figure that places it comfortably among Netflix’s stronger thriller releases that year. The response was strong enough for the streamer to move forward with another season. Although the first installment was originally pitched as a limited series, the story will continue — just in a new location.

Season 2 is expected to take Kyle Turner out of Yosemite and into another national park, with Hawaii serving as the next setting. This indicates that the show may shift toward a more anthology-style format, in which Kyle follows different cases across different national parks. This current run of the show is a very short six-part mystery that can easily be watched in a single weekend. While not necessarily new to the crime genre, it has a decent mystery, beautiful scenery, and a lead performance that keeps the drama grounded. And judging by those viewing hours, plenty of Netflix subscribers have already stumbled across it.

Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker have reached a settlement in their divorce four months after announcing it, according to several reports. Burruss and Tucker first announced their split in November 2025, making their divorce settlement one of the fastest in Bravo history.

The news of Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker’s divorce settlement has been reshared online, prompting a flood of responses from “Real Housewives of Atlanta” fans who are praising Burruss for seemingly handling business. Another reason for the responses could be Tucker’s previous claims about Burruss in his divorce filing updates from December 2025 and early 2026.

Kandi Burruss, Todd Tucker Reach Divorce Settlement After Announcing Split In November 2025

According to PEOPLE, Burruss and Tucker, who married in 2014, have reached a settlement in their divorce in the Superior Court of Fulton County. Judge Alice Benton ordered the couple to present a “final judgment, parenting plan, child support addendum, child support worksheet, etc.” for the court’s review by March 20.

The Blast first reported on Burruss and Tucker’s shocking split in November 2025. Shortly after BravoCon in Las Vegas, Nevada, Burruss shared that she reached the decision after much “thought and a lot of prayer.”

“I’m stepping into a new chapter pouring into my work, my family, and my own growth. I’m grateful to everyone who supported us throughout the years, and I ask for privacy, grace, and understanding as we navigate this transition with our family,” she explained.

Kandi Burruss And Tucker Traded Jabs During Their Divorce

Before settling their divorce, Burruss and Tucker slammed each other in public court filings.

According to a previous report from The Blast, Tucker accused Burruss of being an absent parent, claiming that her busy work schedule in New York kept her away from their shared home in Georgia.

In his filing, Tucker also requested sole legal custody of their two minor children, Ace and Blaze, and asked the court to nullify the former couple’s prenuptial agreement.

Burruss clapped back at the TV and film producer in court filings of her own, revealing that their children incur “significant monthly expenses,” and claimed Tucker has paid for none of them.

The Xscape singer also accused Tucker of failing to provide adequate support for the children, noting that he’s allegedly traveled out of the country on vacation more than once. “Tucker does not exercise parenting time with the minor children on a significant basis despite the façade of his two-to-three-minute social media videos chronicling his ‘Daddy Daycare’ on his social media platforms,” part of the filing read.

She also claimed that Tucker does not pay the mortgage on their Atlanta home or contribute to any of the family home’s expenses.

Social Media Users Are Breaking Their Silence On Kandi Burruss’s Divorce From Tucker

Like Burruss’s mother, Joyce Jones, social media users seem ecstatic about the “Masked Singer” winner’s divorce from Tucker.

“Gotta be one of the quickest divorces in Bravo history,” someone wrote on Reddit. “We’re so used to ‘separated,’ but someone finally actually got divorced!”

“Kandi is like me,” a user wrote on X. “Baby, we ain’t about to drag this out. Tell me what you want so I can go on about my business fr.”

“Happy for her. She can finally be freeeeee,” a third user posted on Instagram.

Will Tucker And Burruss Be Able To Have A Cordial Relationship Following Their Divorce?

Now that Burruss and Tucker’s divorce is finalized, Bravo fans and eagle-eyed social media users will likely be watching to see how they interact with each other moving forward.

According to The Blast, Burruss previously addressed whether they could remain friends following the divorce during a livestream.

“I hope. I hope we get to be friends,” she said. “That would be my goal.”

She added, “But you know when you’re going through the divorce, people get on your nerves, and you really start looking at them differently.”

Will Burruss’s Divorce From Todd Be On The Next Season Of ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’?

Burruss’s divorce from Tucker would make for a compelling “Real Housewives” storyline if the award-winning singer were still featured on the show.

Unfortunately for longtime Burruss fans, the mother of three departed the series in 2024, revealing her focus had shifted to other projects, including Broadway and more scripted work.

However, during a recent interview, Burruss stated that she’s still an avid “RHOA” viewer and actually hopes the show continues to succeed.

“I think it’s important to continue to support the franchise even though I’m not there because I was there for 14 seasons, and I want them to be successful,” she said. “I want ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ to continue on another 15 years.”

The world recently lost comic actress Catherine O’Hara, known for classics like Beetlejuice, Home Alone, and the series Schitt’s Creek. She has been endlessly memed and mimicked, and her work is constantly viewed by fans all over. In the 1983 Canadian animated feature Rock n’ Rule, she makes an unexpected appearance as an unusual character in a place nobody expected to find her.

Rock n’ Rule takes place in a post-apocalyptic future that is now populated by intelligent anthropomorphs and abominations mutated from the remains of a nuclear war in the distant past. A rock band led by Omar strives for fame in Ohmtown, but when Omar is upstaged at their big show by his girlfriend Angel, it causes a rift between the two.

However, Angel has caught the attention of the sinister superstar Mok, whose evil plot to raise an eldritch demon requires a very special singing voice. When Mok kidnaps Angel to raise his demon, Omar and his bandmates Izzy and Stretch head off to Nuke York City to rescue her and fight the rock star on his own turf: the stage.

I’ve been a huge fan of this movie since I saw it in the late 1980s, and I had never noticed that Catherine O’Hara plays Izzy’s aunt Edith, a grizzled Nuke Yorker who runs a tattoo parlor and helps the band while they’re in town. It features a smorgasbord of celebrity voices and musical appearances, including Cheap Trick and Debbie Harry as Omar and Angel’s band, Lou Reed and Izzy Pop as Mok; the dialogue voice talent is a little less well-known but stars Paul LeMat, Susan Roman, and Don Francks.

The story is a fun rock n’ roll romp about the rise and fall to stardom. The soundtrack definitely delivers on the magic and majesty of music, even when it’s not intentionally being used for occult purposes. Debbie Harry absolutely delivers with her performance, and it is easy to see why it would get Mok’s attention. The fantastical blend of magic and technology Mok uses for his sorcery ignites the imagination in ways that a more traditional story about a demonic summoning doesn’t accomplish.

The lingering aura of nuclear war is constantly emphasized throughout the movie, from the names of places to the smoggy and desolate settings the characters inhabit. Mutant creatures that evolved from waste are looked down upon by mainstream society, as illustrated by warnings and security measures at the venues visited during the film. In this respect, the movie is very dated, as the early 1980s were a time of such fear of nuclear war that we had “civil defense drills” against bombs rather than the “active shooter drills” of today.

The movie also saw pushback from Rolling Stones superstar Mick Jagger. Mok was originally supposed to be called “Mok Swagger” and was drawn to resemble the strutting singer with a dash of fellow musical collaborationist David Bowie thrown in. Mok is portrayed as being narcissistic and drunk on his own stardom, a portrait that Jagger didn’t seem to appreciate, even fictionally. He succeeded in having the character’s surname dropped, but otherwise, as he sings in the movie himself, “My name is Mok/thanks a lot.”

Rock n’ Rule may be a throwback to previous social trauma, but it’s still a worthwhile watch today, and I watch it every time I find it because it is just that much fun. It’s raunchy, with slapstick comedy and a thoughtful premise, and most importantly, great music that keeps you coming back to hear it again.

If you’ve been keeping up with entertainment industry trends in recent years, you may already know that Barack and Michelle Obama have launched a production company called Higher Ground. This company generally partners with distributors and streamers such as Netflix to bring inspirational stories to new audiences, with such projects under their belt as Leave The World Behind, Waffles and Mochi, and Michelle Obama’s Becoming. Now, thanks to an exclusive report from Variety, we can confirm that the former President and First Lady will be making their Broadway production debut with a revival of Proof.

Proof is a play written by David Auburn, which originally premiered back in 2000. The story follows a brilliant mathematician as she struggles to piece together her genius father’s unpublished works from the years leading up to his death. As she unravels his semi-coherent ramblings regarding theoretical mathematical proofs, she is assisted by one of his up-and-coming grad students. The original play won a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award, and it even received a film adaptation in 2005.

Per Variety, the Obama-produced revival of Proof will star The Bear‘s Ayo Edebiri in the lead role, with Marvel’s Don Cheadle portraying her father. This is sort of ironic casting, considering the 2005 film adaptation almost exclusively starred Marvel talent as well, before they joined the Disney-owned franchise. 2005’s Proof had Gwyneth Paltrow and Anthony Hopkins in the lead roles, with Jake Gyllenhaal portraying the grad student.

Having recently downgraded their overall deal with Netflix into a first-look deal, it seems as though Barack and Michelle Obama are experimenting with new and exciting storytelling avenues. If the Broadway revival of Proof does well, it could serve as the basis for a motion picture remake with a new cast. While discussing their decision to revive the story, the Obamas explained “Proof is exactly the kind of story Higher Ground was built to champion, a play that asks profound questions about brilliance, doubt, and what we inherit from the people we love most.”

Higher Ground has already taken home numerous Academy Awards for its previous works. To date, the production company has earned six Emmy Awards, three Grammys, and an Oscar. If Barack and Michelle Obama manage to strike gold with their reimagining of Proof, it could make them the very first President and First Lady to earn the coveted EGOT status. That’s not usually the sort of thing politicians pull off in their retirement, but then again, sitting politicians have been doing much stranger things in recent years.

It looks like Lil Durk isn’t taking any chances with his defense! The rapper just added heavyweight defense attorney Brian Steel to his legal squad as he gears up for a federal murder-for-hire trial. And fans are already speculating that the team’s glow-up is about to be next-level.

Durk Just Leveled Up His Legal Squad

According to legal documents filed on March 6, Brain Steel is joining Lil Durk’s defense team as a pro hac vice, meaning he can step into the case even without a California law license. He’ll be taking over for Jonathan M. Brayman. Jury selection kicks off August 20, nearly two years after Durk and several members of his Only the Family collective were first arrested. Additionally, Drew Findling, another legal heavy hitter, remains on the team. As the date nears, Durk’s case is seemingly shaping up to be one of the most high-profile rap trials of 2026.

Does Steel’s Name Ring A Bell?

Known for handling the biggest hip-hop cases, Steel made headlines defending Young Thug in the YSL RICO trial and later representing Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in criminal proceedings. Speaking to Billboard, Steel described his hands-on approach: “I get very close to my clients. I meet their families… I gotta believe in the person… God willing, something good will come out.” Translation: Durk isn’t just getting a lawyer — he’s getting a ride-or-die defense.

The Story Behind Durk’s Legal Battle

As previously reported, Durk faces serious charges, including conspiracy, murder-for-hire, and firearm use in connection with a 2022 alleged attempt on Quando Rondo’s life. Furthermore, the rapper has pleaded not guilty and, based on his recent posts, he’s been feeling the pressure. Earlier this year, Durk hinted at the personal toll of being behind bars, writing on Instagram, “Crazy how you gotta wait until it’s dark out to see who really with you.” 

Fans Can’t Stop Buzzing About Durk’s Legal Upgrade

Fans immediately flooded X to let y’all know Brian Steel is about to get Durkio signed, sealed, delivered, and home — because let’s be real, this lawyer does not play. Comments are blowing up with hype, jokes, and straight-up excitement over the courtroom.

It’s been almost two years since X-Men ‘97 aired its Season 1 finale, and fans around the world are still waiting to see how the story continues in Season 2. It’s been confirmed that X-Men ‘97 Season 2 will premiere this summer, but Marvel has yet to assign the animated series a slot on its Disney+ calendar for the year. It’s safe to say X-Men ‘97 is one of the most anticipated new releases of 2026, though, especially considering the show is still the highest-rated Marvel project ever, despite not taking place in the MCU. It holds a nearly flawless 99% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a 91% on the audience-driven Popcornmeter, and it’s already been renewed for Season 3 before the Season 2 premiere. It’s a textbook example of a successful show.

There may still be a few months until X-Men ‘97 is playing on Disney+ around the world, but Marvel has just given a gift to fans of its most popular mutants. Marvel has officially announced a new prequel comic book, X-Men ’97: Season Two, which will take place between the events of X-Men ‘97 Seasons 1 and 2. The book was written by Steve Foxe with art from Salva Espin and a cover from Todd Nauck, and there will be variant covers available from Jhony Caballero, Natacha Bustos, and Dan Jurgen. The comic goes on sale on June 3, likely around the same time that X-Men ‘97 will premiere, and the official synopsis for the new story reads as follows:

“X-MEN ‘97: SEASON TWO will lead directly from the end of the acclaimed first season to the start of the upcoming season two, setting the stage for the time-sprawling saga that awaits viewers, exploring the season’s biggest plot threads, and spotlighting the major new characters—and teams—joining the cast.

Extinction-day has come and gone, and your favorite X-Men are lost in time! Spinning out of Marvel Animation’s X-Men ’97 series, follow the X-Men left behind in a world that hunts and hates mutantkind! Can they survive? And just where – or when – are the X-Men now?! No X-Men ‘97 fan can miss this one!”

When Will ‘X-Men ‘97’ Season 3 Come Out?

There’s been a two-year gap between the first and second seasons of X-Men ‘97, but fans can rest assured that this won’t be the case between seasons two and three. X-Men ‘97 star Lenore Zann, who voices Rogue in the hit Disney+ series, confirmed to Collider last year that she was about to head to the voice booth to begin recording lines for Season 3. The most likely window of release for X-Men ’97 Season 3 is likely sometime in 2027, only one year after Season 2.

Stay tuned to Collider for more updates on the new X-Men ‘97 prequel comic and updates on Seasons 2 and 3 of the hit Disney+ series.

Sofia Vergara appears to be getting into the Oscars spirit early after posting two throwback videos from the 2025 Oscars after-party.

The actress shared the clips on her Instagram Story, including one of her dancing with her “America’s Got Talent” co-star Heidi Klum.

In another video, the “Modern Family” alum showed off solo moves on the makeshift Oscars dance floor.

The two television personalities have built a close friendship both on and off the screen during their time on “AGT.”

Vergara’s post comes just two days before the 2026 Academy Awards are held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

Sofia Vergara Turns Back The Clock With Oscars Dance Throwbacks

Hours before sharing the two #TBT clips on her Instagram Story, Vergara attended “An Unforgettable Evening,” a charity gala aimed at raising money for the Women’s Cancer Research Fund (WCRF).

The actress posted a series of updates from the event on her Story, including a brief snippet of a speech she delivered to attendees.

After the more serious posts, Vergara then took a trip down memory lane, revisiting last year’s Oscars and the joyful moments she shared with Klum at the after-party.

Neither “America’s Got Talent” alum was nominated or scheduled to present at the 2025 Oscars. Still, it is not uncommon for major stars to attend the celebrity events surrounding Hollywood’s biggest night.

Sofia Vergara And Heidi Klum Went Viral On The Oscars Dance Floor In 2025

Vergara and Klum attracted significant online attention for their looks and moves at the 2025 Oscars after-party, hosted by Vanity Fair.

Both videos from the night showed the TV stars dancing along to Michael Jackson hits, with the pair grooving to “Don’t Stop ’til You Get Enough” in the first clip.

Klum shared that moment on her own Instagram at the time, accompanied by three emojis in the caption.

Fans quickly filled the comments section with compliments, many praising the pair for their beauty and chemistry.

“OMG, you girls are just gorgeous,” one user wrote, while another added, “The cutest,” alongside a heart emoji.

In the second clip shared on Vergara’s IG Story, the actress was seen dancing solo to “Billie Jean.”

Vergara Said Klum Is ‘Like A Latin Girl Trapped In A German Body’

In a 2023 interview with Extra correspondent Terri Seymour, Vergara explained how the differences in her and Klum’s backgrounds actually helped her realize how similar they are.

“It was a surprise because you know I’m Latin, Heidi’s German,” Vergara said. “I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t think I’m gonna have anything in common with her.’ And then suddenly I realized she’s like a Latin girl trapped in a German tall model!”

Vergara went on to elaborate on the qualities in Klum that gave her that impression.

“She can dance, sing, go to a crazy party,” the actress added. “Energy, it’s like crazy. I want to be her when I grow up.”

Sofia Vergara’s Bikini Snap Prompted A Playful Reply From Klum

Vergara and Klum’s unique friendship was once again on full display when the “Griselda” star shared a bold Instagram photo of herself sunbathing poolside in a thong bikini back in June 2025.

Klum playfully jumped into the comments, joking that Vergara should join her because she was also sunbathing wherever she happened to be at the time.

For Vergara, the extra attention on the photo likely signaled success, as the post was part of a promotional campaign for her Toty sunscreen brand.

In an interview with E! News, the actress explained her company’s “suncare first” philosophy.

“Once I learned the sun not only causes cancer but also aging, I made suncare my first priority,” Vergara said.

Vergara Still Waiting On An Oscar Nomination

While Vergara continues to show an affinity for the Academy Awards, she has yet to earn an Oscar nomination for any of her work.

The Colombian-born star has spent most of her career dominating television rather than film, and her accolades reflect that trajectory.

Vergara is a five-time Emmy and Golden Globe nominee, with all ten nods recognizing her performances in “Modern Family” and, more recently, “Griselda.”

Intriguingly, the one small “chink in the armor” of her friendship with Klum came when the supermodel told ET Online she was “upset” that Vergara did not cast her in “Griselda.”
