2026 is shaping up to be the biggest year yet for the Reacher television franchise, as fans will be treated to both the return of Alan Ritchson‘s titular action hero in his own series as well as the release of the first-ever Reacher spin-off, Neagley, starring Reacher series alum Maria Sten. Additionally, recent comments from Ritchson tease that Prime Video clearly has more in store for the future of its biggest action franchise.

‘Reacher’ Season 4 Will Be Its Best and “Most Gripping,” According to Alan Ritchson

While Reacher Season 4 doesn’t have a release date yet, Ritchson previously confirmed in an interview with Collider that it would be dropping later this year on Prime Video, additionally promising that the show’s upcoming fourth season would be “the best season we’ve had yet.” It’s certainly a bold claim, as the last three seasons have been praised by both critics and viewers.

Jack is almost back.

As if to double down on his earlier comments, Ritchson later revealed his official wrap on post-production of Season 4 in a March 25 Instagram post: “Here we are, in the ADR booth for the very last time for Season 4 of Reacher. There it is; we are dunzos. This thing is gonna be hitting airwaves very soon.” To caption the video itself, the star wrote, “This is, without a doubt, the most gripping season yet. I think we hit our stride. Firing on all cylinders… as it were.” Based on Ritchson’s statements, it looks like Reacher fanatics are in for quite the ride with Season 4.

‘Reacher’ Season 4 Will Have More Action Than Ever

Longtime Reacher viewers are no strangers to the show’s unique brand of action, and it looks like the series is stepping up the action quotient for Season 4. During a November 2025 interview with ScreenRant, Ritchson revealed that Season 4 set a new series record for the volume of action scenes that were filmed.

The star’s comments are a bit surprising given that Reacher Season 4 is based on the book Gone Tomorrow, which is more of a cerebral detective story than an action-thriller. However, during the same interview, Ritchson spoke about anticipating “fight fatigue,” something he and the production team were mindful of for the new season, and added that Season 4’s fight sequences happen “all for good reason,” emphasizing that any stunts are designed with a narrative-driven intent to serve a larger purpose for character and story. In Ritchson’s words:

“You got to be invested in feeling for these characters and the reason for what they’re fighting for, and I think we’ve done a really good job of that.”

Ritchson Is Also Reprising His Role as Jack Reacher in ‘Neagley’

Another big Reacher release for 2026 is the Neagley spin-off, in which Maria Sten will take center stage in the new series that will finally reveal more about one of Reacher’s most dedicated allies — not to mention, Ritchson will once again reprise his role as Jack Reacher. Fans are used to seeing Neagley in a supporting role in the flagship series, but Ritchson’s guest-starring appearance will serve as an inversion of the characters’ usual dynamic, with Neagley now finding herself in the position to investigate the shocking death of a close friend.

Neagley also provides the opportunity for the Reacher franchise to reveal one of its longest mysteries in depicting the titular character’s mysterious backstory. Reacher fans have noticed that Neagley showcases extreme haphephobia, a fear of touching, which is consistent with the character from Lee Child‘s novels. However, as the author explained in a February 2025 interview with The Wrap, he previously shied away from revealing more about Neagley in his books, wanting the character to retain a sense of mystique for readers. That all changes with Neagley, as Reacher showrunner Nick Santora is working on the spin-off with Child’s approval and oversight.

Needless to say, the hype and anticipation are building for both Reacher Season 4 and the series debut of Neagley. Hopefully, Prime Video begins rolling out the release details and marketing campaign soon, offering an even better sense of the bone-crunching, action-packed fun that fans can expect.

Following the global phenomenon that was Barbie in 2023, Margot Robbie was perhaps the most famous movie star in the world. A two-time Academy Award nominee whose filmography includes the likes of I, Tonya, The Wolf of Wall Street, and the most copied modern interpretation of Harley Quinn, it’s incredible to think that Robbie is still just getting started. However, since turning the iconic Barbie doll into her own three years ago, Robbie’s performances haven’t quite found the same success, most recently earning a mixed reception — albeit with a big box office triumph — in Wuthering Heights, the latest adaptation of Emily Brontë’s famous novel.

Before she starred alongside Jacob Elordi in the period drama, Robbie delivered one of the more disappointing efforts in her recent career in the fantasy romantic drama A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. Directed by Kogonada of After Yang fame, the film promised a clever trip through memory and trauma with two of the very best actors working today: Robbie and Colin Farrell. The film also featured a stellar supporting cast, including Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag), Hamish Linklater (Midnight Mass), Lily Rabe (American Horror Story), and Billy Magnussen (Lilo & Stitch).

Sadly, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey was one of the biggest flops of the year, earning just $20 million worldwide against a reported $45 million production budget, with a domestic haul of $6.6 million and a further $13.4 million from overseas markets, well below expectations. However, months later, the film has bounced back and is currently one of the ten most-streamed movies on HBO Max in the world.

Critics Were Left Frustrated by ‘A Big Bold Beautiful Journey’

Scoring just 37% from critics on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, one of Robbie’s worst scores to date, it’s safe to say that A Big Bold Beautiful Journey frustrated critics. In his review for Collider, Ross Bonaime wrote that the movie “occasionally works, but isn’t entirely as successful as one would hope,” adding, “The screenplay by Reiss is too eccentric and full of empty statements about life that result in the movie not working like it should. If you squint,” Bonaime said, “you can almost see how great this film could’ve been.”

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is streaming on HBO Max. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.

Project Hail Mary is an undeniable hit among both critics and the audience, so now, everyone is naturally curious about what else directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller have lined up. Up next is Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, the latest installment in the trilogy Phil Lord and Christopher Miller helped shape as producers and creative leads, which began with 2018’s Into the Spider-Verse. After that, they may tackle yet another Andy Weir novel: Artemis. They have been connected to this project for a while, and, while the book may not have seen the same success as The Martian or Project Hail Mary itself, it still has the marks of a typical Weir novel; this time, however, instead of Mars or any other alien planet, the whole thing is set on the Moon.

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s Adaptation of ‘Artemis’ Was Announced in 2017

Recently speaking to THR, Lord and Miller mentioned having “a backlog of like seven or eight things” they want to do after Beyond the Spider-Verse, so they may end up doing something else entirely instead of Artemis, but that is also the first optimistic update we’ve had on the project in, well, years. With the director duo already attached, the Artemis adaptation was initially announced the same year the novel came out, in 2017.

It was, however, a completely different world — the project was being developed by Fox, for example, before its acquisition by Disney two years later. The Martian had already come out and was a hit, so the spotlight was on Weir and his science-y storytelling; unfortunately, news became scarce over the years. The latest update came in 2018, when current Fallout co-showrunner Geneva Robertson-Dworet took over screenwriting duties. Then, the industry changed completely, and it seems things were left at that point.

Lord and Miller have suggested that a script exists and have spoken positively about its direction, but it isn’t clear whether that remains Robertson-Dworet’s initial script or if it’s a new treatment. The true challenge was figuring out “how to execute one-sixth gravity,” the duo reveals, since the story is set entirely on the Moon, and low gravity plays an important role. If this were a purely technical issue, then it’s apparently resolved, according to them, suggesting that Artemis remains one of several projects in their backlog that could potentially move forward, depending on scheduling and studio priorities.

‘Artemis’ Tells a Coming-of-Age Heist Story Set Entirely on the Moon

Although it’s just as much of a hard sci-fi story as Weir’s other novels, Artemis follows a completely different approach towards hard sci-fi than the usual scientist who has to “science the s*** out of” everything to survive. Here, the story follows Jasmine “Jazz” Bashara, a more hero-type protagonist who is very different from Mark Watney (Matt Damon) and Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling). She is every bit as brave and resourceful as those two, but her novel is unique compared to theirs.

Jazz lives in Artemis, the first city on the Moon, in the late 2080s, and is still learning how to navigate adult life. We meet her as a small-time smuggler who is at odds with everyone in her life, from her father to her best friend, but she has to reevaluate her position when she is recruited by a Norwegian entrepreneur to sabotage his rival’s mining operation. Desperately needing the money, she accepts, but things quickly take a turn for the worse as she suddenly finds herself the target of a huge crime syndicate.

As always, there’s a lot of science in Artemis, and Weir does an incredible job at world-building. The lunar environment plays a role of its own in the story, affecting everything from the way people move at low gravity to Artemis’ own economy. Tourism is the city’s main asset, but with so many people living there to support the tourist influx, other skills have become invaluable, especially welding and security. Still, Artemis didn’t see the same success as Weir’s other novels, but it’s perfectly suited for a movie.

After ‘Project Hail Mary’s Success, Lord and Miller Are the Perfect People to Helm ‘Artemis’

As great as Artemis is, though, it’s still representative of Weir’s honing his skills as a sci-fi writer, looking to tell more character-driven stories and lay out more complex plots in terms of drama, without leaving science behind. It’s an honest attempt, but Jazz’s story could benefit from a more cinematic vision, especially one as clear as Lord and Miller’s. They excel in telling high-concept stories with no small dose of sharp and accessible comedy, of which Project Hail Mary is but one of numerous proofs.

Jazz is the kind of protagonist that Lord and Miller have tackled countless times: funny, flawed, and morally flexible, while remaining an essentially good individual. We’ve seen that in Spider-Verse‘s Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) and Katie Mitchell (Abbi Jacobson) in The Mitchells vs. the Machines, for example, both of which helped cement Lord and Miller as household names in Hollywood. This experience of crafting this kind of chaotic, yet sympathetic protagonist makes them the perfect people to bring Jazz to the big screen, too.

Finally, although Project Hail Mary has a contemplative side to it, Lord and Miller are also quite fond of fast-paced narratives. Artemis represents Weir’s first attempt to craft just that in a novel, but it does get sandwiched between science and Jazz’s own drama. Lord and Miller’s protagonists are often forced to grow while in the middle of the action, which would fit perfectly with Artemis‘ narrative. Hopefully, with the success of Project Hail Mary, this adaptation gets bumped up in the duo’s backlog.

Project Hail Mary is currently in theaters.

It’s been quite a chaotic time for fans of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” lately and it doesn’t seem to be letting up anytime soon. And since the hit Hulu reality show has ceased filming for the time being, fans are getting their fill of the drama via social media, and let’s just say there’s no lack of insanity happening.

Jessi Draper‘s recent actions have fans either rooting for her or scratching their heads, but regardless of what side they are taking, everyone is here for it. After an emotional affair with “Vanderpump Villa” star Marciano Brunette when the two shows collided for a crossover episode, a new dramatic storyline was born. Fans may have thought it was dead and buried, even after the announcement came that Jessi and her husband Jordan were getting a divorce, but they couldn’t be more wrong. A series of Instagram Stories and TikTok video shared in the past few days prove that something is going on – but is it just rage bait to keep the fans intrigued while filming has stopped, or is there something more serious brewing with the two of them out of the spotlight?

Jessi And Marciano Have Fans Talking Online

To catch anyone up to speed who may have missed the past few days online, Marciano teased a visit to Utah in his Instagram Stories on Friday. But the teasing was soon proved to be what everyone was thinking – he was visiting Jessi. Internet detectives starting sharing theories and even receipts that the two were in fact hanging out.

It didn’t take too long before Jessi posted a video to help that speculation along. And then a video by Marciano soon followed. And now that fans see that Jessi and Marciano are spending time together in Utah, they aren’t holding back what they are thinking in the comment sections of TikTok videos and Instagram posts.

Media personality Harry Jowsey wasted no time jumping into the comment section to say, “What is happening.” He actually also shared some interesting news on his own Instagram page, but we’ll get to that later.

“Who needs a Hulu subscription when season 5 is airing free on TikTok,” one person wrote. Another asked, “Is it illegal in Utah to be single?” One other viewer said, “Jessi calling up Marciano the second she handed those divorce papers over.”

Marciano Also Shared A Video That Has Fans Talking

Not long after sharing his Instagram Stories – one of the airport, another of a margarita with a mystery woman in the background (who we now know is Jessi) and one of a Swig cup – he shared a video on Instagram that shows him and Jessi walking hand-in-hand captioned, “Messi.” (Looks like they have a cute name for themselves as a couple already.)

Fans probably tripped getting into the comment section to say what’s on their minds.

“Don’t hurt her,” Jowsey said. He seems quite invested in the drama, and fans are loving that. Reality star Stassi Schroeder wrote, “WHAT IS HAPPENING,” and fellow reality star Katie Maloney wrote, “I’m here for this.”

“Begging someone from Hulu to grab a camera, like, yesterday,” another viewer wrote. One other added, “I like the couple name,” and another said, “You’ve got our attention.”

It appears that some are just here for the drama, others are invested in them actually being a couple, and then the rest are hoping this is just rage baiting at its finest.

Back To Harry Jowsey And What He Shared About Jessi And Marciano

For fans of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” who watched season 4, Harry Jowsey’s entanglement into the drama makes sense. For those who haven’t watched season 4 yet, he makes an appearance on the show and it’s quite memorable.

He jumped into the ongoing drama with Jessi and Marciano to give a more “on the ground journalism” approach and viewers are loving this POV. He shared a screenshot of a text between him, Jessi, and Marciano in a TikTok video and in his Instagram Story.

“Fire Hulu and hire Harry atp,” one viewer wrote in the comments of the TikTok video. “Man is working over time to give us the tea,” another shared. Another fan pointed out what many are thinking, “Production stopped at the WORST time ever.” One other said, “Harry just know you are doing the lord’s work right now.”

‘I Vote Harry For Executive Producer At This Point’

Viral TikToker @stephwithdadeets also shared Harry’s text chain reveal and more information in her video captioned, “ATP we’re gonna need Harry to just become a producer and pick up his own and head to Utah.”

The comment section lit up with praise for Harry. One fan wrote, “Harry is the man we all want and need right now. Bless that man with all good things,” and another said, “I vote Harry for executive producer at this point.” One other fan joked, “I’m convinced Harry is already filming season 5.”

While ‘Mormon Wives’ Filming Is On Hiatus, Stay Up-To-Date On Social Media

While it might be discouraging that season 5 isn’t currently filming due to Taylor Frankie Paul’s ongoing alleged domestic violence drama, it seems that fans can get their fill of Utah excitement on TikTok and Instagram.

Most of the cast have been sharing their lives on social media despite not currently filming, so if you are missing the show and already binged seasons 1 through 4 multiple times, TikTok just might give you the fix you need.

What are your thoughts on Jessi and Marciano – is it just rage bait or interesting PR angling, or is there actually something going on with the two of them?

Y’all… it looks like some family tension might be brewing behind the scenes involving Tee Grizzley and his mom. What seemed like a regular social media post quickly turned into something deeper. And now, folks are side-eyeing the situation and wondering what’s really going on.

Tee Grizzley’s Mom Calls Him Out Online Over Alleged Family Snubs

The rapper’s mom took to Instagram on Sunday, reposting a video of him living it up in Monaco. However, the message she added has definitely raised eyebrows. Over the clip, she wrote, “While I’m done here carless smh!” along with a sad emoji, before adding, “Tee you terrible!” But she didn’t stop there—she later shared a screen recording of the post to her feed with a lengthy caption, calling him out for what she described as being overlooked. She claimed she’s been in her situation for years without support, saying she hasn’t even seen his home, wasn’t invited to his wedding, and questioned why others allegedly received cars while she’s been “walking.” She also mentioned recently getting out of jail and made it clear she wants a face-to-face conversation, writing that she has “something to say” when she sees him.

Tee Steps In With Words Amid Claims From His Mother

It didn’t take long for Tee Grizzley to catch wind of his mom’s posts. He jumped straight into TSR’s comment section and made it clear he wasn’t having it. He clapped back with, “Mf really ain’t gettin ntn na,” showing he was fully aware and unbothered. Tee added, “I said yes to everything but I said no to the car cause I don’t want you to hurt [yourself] or nobody else and now I’m on the shaderoom. I would tell my side but somebody gotta keep family business off the internet,” making it clear some things are meant to stay private.

Fans Weigh In On Tee Grizzley’s Family Tea

Fans immediately stormed TSR’s Instagram comment section, having a field day with Tee Grizzley’s family tea. Some users weighed in philosophically, saying there’s always a reason why people drift from their parents. Others were curious to hear Tee Grizzley’s side of the story. Meanwhile, plenty called out the timing, saying bringing this kind of tea online on Easter is wild.

One Instagram user @mknzserenity said, “Do parents ever take accountability .. like ever 😭”

This Instagram user @jawn_solo_ commented, “There’s definitely more to this ….“

While, Instagram user @ima_slay4u added, “‘I just got out of jail’ told me everything i need to know about her as a mother“

Then Instagram user @justjasminenoelle claimed, “Adult children are not responsible for their parents“

And, Instagram user @director.saddiq wrote, “We don’t know his side so let’s wait for more details 😂”

Finally, Instagram user @_salina_x3 shared, “Lord it’s Easter….“

What Jen Shah Had To Say About Andy Cohen’s Earlier Comments About Never Wanting To See Her Again

There are quite a few fantasy shows that may not have dominated the headlines as some were able to, but over the years since airing, they have found a lasting appreciation among dedicated viewers who praise them for their storytelling and charm. From heartfelt character arcs and epic world-building to rather bold creative risks, these subtle gems are proof that, even if forgotten by most, such great fantasies don’t always fade away — sometimes, they age like fine wine.

Forgotten fantasy jewels like the one-season banger The Nine Lives of Chloe King, whose potential was abruptly cut short, and the fantastically captivating The Magicians are perfect examples of shows that may not be very well known or well remembered, but have still aged quite well. Compiled on this list are eight forgotten, but compellingly brilliant, fantasy series that have only gotten more enjoyable as the years have gone by.

1

‘Pushing Daisies’ (2007–2009)

There will never be a time when Pushing Daisies doesn’t stand among some of the best fantasy series out there. The whimsical show follows pie maker Ned (Lee Pace), a man who can restore life to the dead with a simple touch and, with another, return them to their graves. After learning of his childhood sweetheart’s demise, Ned resurrects her, which then ensues the greatest quirky, tragic, and adorable relationship ever brought to screens.

Pushing Daisies is the true definition of fairy-tale charm, as it delivers a compellingly unique concept. The underappreciated series seamlessly blends sweet romance, case-by-case mysteries, and vibrant fantasy allure, crafting a story that improves with time. It’s a one-of-a-kind series that, sadly, audiences just don’t talk about much, despite its ageless beauty. Thankfully, the series, even with its short run, garnered devoted fans, who often praise it for its vibrant wonder and whimsy. Pushing Daisies may be a forgotten fantasy series, but it definitely stands as one with inventive storytelling and a heartfelt tone that warrants a place in everyone’s hearts, no matter what the era.

2

‘Atlantis’ (2013–2015)

This forgotten fantasy gem from the BBC offers fans an extremely adventurous and fresh take on Greek mythology. Atlantis centers on Jason (Jack Donnelly), a man who somehow survives a shipwreck only to end up in the mythical city of legend, Atlantis. Jason quickly realizes that there is more to his destiny as he discovers his role in a prophecy to save it.

Atlantis offers a strong blend of myth and action — an intoxicating mixture for any fantasy enthusiast. The series reimagines legendary tales through a modern lens, gifting viewers a genuinely entertaining fantasy show that still holds up pretty well. Fans often praise Atlantis for its earnest tone and great chemistry between its leads. Even with many critics finding the series fantastically charming, reviews remain pretty uneven, while the show has gone, unfortunately, unremembered. Atlantis may not be as gritty as most modern fantasies are, but its sincerity, mythos, and overall lighthearted tone mark it as an enchanting hidden gem for fantasy fans.

3

‘The Magicians’ (2015–2020)

The Magicians is an epic Syfy TV show that presents a mature and enticingly dark take on magic and wonder. Based on Lev Grossman’s novels, the series focuses on grad student Quentin Coldwater (Jason Ralph) as he discovers magic is real and that he is able to wield it at a secret university of magic known as Brakebills.

The Magicians is one of the most underrated fantasy series of all time. Its layered storytelling, which mixes real-world struggles with magic, makes it a uniquely entertaining watch. The Magicians may not have garnered much mainstream attention during its time on air, and even less now, but it remains one of the best in the vast landscape of fantasy and has honestly only gotten better with time. Its emotional depth and complexity aged fantastically well. Though The Magicians is terribly underappreciated and stands mostly unremembered, it is a cult sensation that has matured rather beautifully with a great number of hardcore devoted fans.

4

‘Lost Girl’ (2010–2015)

This underrated Canadian supernatural drama is lowkey fantasy gold. Lost Girl follows the succubus Bo (Anna Silk), who joins a shapeshifter named Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried) and a human doctor named Lauren (Zoie Palmer) to solve mysteries while navigating Fae politics and attempting to discover her origins.

Lost Girl may not be the best-written fantasy series ever created, but it stands as one of the greatest guilty pleasures to exist, and over time, it has only grown even more so. The series, with its supernatural edge and spicy drama, explores a hidden world of fae and supernatural beings. Even decades later, Lost Girl’s world-building and characters remain pretty engaging. The series attracted quite a fandom, who may all see the show’s flaws but find it extremely worth it as they take to rewatching the intoxicatingly addictive show over and over again. Lost Girl remains an overlooked fantasy great that has continued to age beautifully.

5

‘Samurai Jack’ (2001–2017)

Samurai Jack is a sci-fi/fantasy blend that delivers not only visually striking animation but also a truly stylistic fantasy journey. The Cartoon Network animated series focuses on the samurai dubbed Jack (Phil LaMarr) as he travels through time to defeat the evil shape-shifting demon Aku (Mako Iwamatsu), who is reigning over the world in the distant future.

Samurai Jack is peak fantasy television, and although it stands now as a mostly forgotten cartoon, dedicated fans continue to praise its timeless feel and artistry. Even after all these years, the series has grown into a true cult classic that has only become all the more impressive with time. Samurai Jack’s blend of sci-fi time travel and fantasy wonder made it a unique standout during the early 2000s, but even now, the series’ artistic brilliance and minimalistic storytelling feel just as — and often even more — impressive, cementing its place on this list of fantasy shows that have aged like fine wine.

6

‘Merlin’ (2008–2012)

This reimagining of a legendary tale takes a more youthful approach to an ancient story. Merlin centers around the young wizard Merlin (Colin Morgan), who arrives in Camelot, where magic is outlawed, and somehow finds himself becoming the servant of Prince Arthur (Bradley James).

With forbidden magic, drama, and adventure, Merlin is an all-around fantasy standout. The series is quite old, but it honestly still feels ageless. From characters to relationships, much of Merlin still resonates beautifully with fans. It’s a beloved gem that doesn’t get much shine these days, but remains a truly timeless take on the Arthurian legend, marking it as a well-aged fantasy that explores the origins of one of the most iconic stories ever made. Merlin may be forgotten by almost everyone other than its diehard fans, but the show stands as a perfect treat for those in need of hopeful storytelling and legendary mythos.

7

‘The Nine Lives of Chloe King’ (2011)

The Nine Lives of Chloe King may have only lasted a single season, but its impact — however small — is lasting. The creative fantasy series based on the novels by Liz Braswell focuses on San Francisco teen Chloe King (Skyler Samuels), who, on her sixteenth birthday, experiences multiple transformations that prove that she is a part of an ancient cat-like race called the Mai.

The fantasy drama came to screens in a burst of teenage angst, fantastical lore, and epic love triangle antics, then left quite abruptly. It wasn’t long before viewers forgot the show even existed, even as its heartfelt drama and fantastically unique premise have stood the test of time. Fans who remember The Nine Lives of Chloe King continue to praise it for its enduring appeal, dubbing the fantasy series a binge-worthy mix of supernatural elements and high school coming-of-age fun.

8

‘Legend of the Seeker’ (2008–2010)

This 2008 fantasy adventure brilliantly immerses its viewers in a sword-and-sorcery world. Based on Terry Goodkind’s novels, Legend of the Seeker follows the humble woods guide, Richard Cypher (Craig Horner), who discovers he is actually the Seeker, a person destined to fight dark magic.

Most have forgotten about the epic fantasy Legend of the Seeker, but its small fanbase has ensured that the series continues to be appreciated for its subtle brilliance that added much to fantasy television during its time on air. The series’ memorable characters, classic high-fantasy appeal, and adventurous storytelling are often praised by fans, and despite its camp, most of the show’s aspects, like special effects and sword fights, still hold up pretty well. Standing strong as a venerable cult classic, Legend of the Seeker is a fantasy epic that has definitely stood the test of time.

Aww, Roomies! Mariah Carey just popped out with a family moment that has folks doing a double take—and it’s not hard to see why. The singer shared a glimpse into her holiday vibes, and let’s just say time is really flying.

RELATED: So Obsessed! Mariah Carey’s Most Viral Moments That Still Have Fans Gagging (VIDEOS)

Mariah Carey Shares Sweet Easter Pic As Kids Steal Spotlight

On Sunday, April 5, Mariah Carey took to Instagram to post a sweet Easter photo with her twins, Moroccan and Monroe, captioning it, “Happy Easter!” In the photo, the trio posed in front of an Easter Bunny, with both kids holding plush bunnies as they stood beside their iconic mom. Monroe was giving full personality—throwing up a peace sign with her tongue out, while Moroccan kept it cool, looking just like his dad Nick Cannon. Mariah stunned in a pink dress paired with a sparkly sweater, but it was Moroccan who really had folks laughing in the comments, writing, “Yall I AM tall, I had to do the splits to take this photo.”

Fans Are Living For The Pic, But Clocking That Bunny

Fans ran straight to TSR’s Instagram comment section and were celebrating right along with them. Some pointed out that Monroe is basically Mariah when she first hit the music scene, while others were just spreading love and wishing the family a happy Easter. And of course, a few couldn’t help but ask the real question—who’s actually inside that bunny suit?

One Instagram user @chesteralbuero commented, “cuties 😍🐣”

This Instagram user @kevinlanesmusic shared, “Happy Easter Queen! ILY! 🙏🏾😘”

And, Instagram user @ohhjocelyn added, “Lmao mother I know you forced them to take this pic and they had no choice 😂😂😍😍”

Meanwhile, Instagram user @punkoutlaw wrote, “Happy Easter Mariah, Roc & Roe! 🐰✝️❤️”

While Instagram user @kbyrd2 shared, “Roe roe giving debut-Riah“

Finally, Instagram user @jacksongzmjb.thecollector joked, “Who is the mysterious rabbit? 🤣🤣🤣🤣”

Celebs Tap In With Easter Messages & Moments

The Easter love wasn’t just limited to Mariah and her family—countless celebritiess who celebrate the holiday also showed up on social media with heartfelt messages. Kamala Harris shared photos alongside her husband, plus a sweet snap hugging two younger girls who appeared to be family, while Quavo gave global vibes, posting up in Brazil in front of the massive Christ the Redeemer statue with his arms wide open.

Dawn Staley kept it simple but powerful on X with “HE IS RISEN!”, and Chloe Bailey blessed her followers with a video of herself singing a gospel song along with a “Happy Easter” message. The Obamas also joined in, sharing a throwback church photo with a message to their supporters, while Mýa posted a clip of herself in the studio recording a gospel track—and Angel Reese echoed the sentiment on X with her own “HE IS RISEN.”

Widely recognized for her lead role in the billion-dollar Fifty Shades film series, Dakota Johnson‘s career has come a long way since then. The Texas-born actress was most recently seen in the 2025 romantic dramedy Materialists alongside Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal. Directed by Celine Song, the film was both a critical and commercial success, marking one of Johnson’s most notable projects to date.

While audiences may easily recognize her from these high-profile titles, she delivered one of her strongest performances in a lesser-known gem that hit theaters just two years ago. Daddio sees Johnson take on a far more intimate and restrained role, carrying much of the film’s emotional weight through a quiet, dialogue-driven story. The drama film is a perfect alternative for fans of Before Sunrise, the first installment in the Before trilogy, and the 1995 romantic drama starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy.

Released in theaters on June 28, 2024, Daddio has found a new streaming home not long after Netflix restricted access for some users. Starting April 26, 2026, the compelling drama will be available to watch on Hulu, offering an unfiltered look at the slow unraveling of two strangers’ lives over the course of a single night. Also starring Sean Penn, the Oscar-winning actor was initially suggested by Johnson, who personally sent him the script before filming began, and as expected, he delivered a standout performance. Daddio boasts a Certified Fresh 75% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an impressive 89% audience score.
