Fantasy TV has delivered countless unforgettable characters, amazingly rich worlds, and tons of epic adventures, yet not every series gets a chance to take the spotlight, bask in it, and actually remain there for enough time that it stays with audiences forever. While some shows become defining works of fiction that never leave their viewers’ minds, others simply slip away, forgotten, despite their creative storytelling and captivating visuals.

Fantasy wonders like the charming TV gem Eastwick, which was unfortunately incredibly short-lived, and the magical adventure that is W.I.T.C.H., which blends magic-fueled battles with themes of responsibility and friendship, are two examples of the genre’s lost gems that have faded from mainstream conversation. Compiled on this list are fantasy shows that may have been genuinely engaging during their peaks but have consistently slipped from attention over time.

‘Legend of the Seeker’ (2008–2010)

Image via ABC

This forgotten fantasy offers audiences a sweeping narrative that delivers tons of traditional fantasy elements. Legend of the Seeker follows the prophesied Seeker, Richard Cypher (Craig Horner), who, once he learned of his destiny, joins the Confessor Kahlan Amnell (Bridget Regan) and the wizard Zeddicus Zu’l Zorander (Bruce Spence) in a quest to stop Darken Rahl (Craig Parker) and other tyrannical forces from unleashing ancient evil.

Legend of the Seeker is a fantasy standout in its own right. The fantasy series may have been largely forgotten, but some of those who have seen it remember the show quite fondly, remaining attached long after its official run. Legend of the Seeker commits wonderfully to its classic storytelling, which gives it a rather lasting appeal. With the show not as accessible today as it once was, Legend of the Seeker stands as a bout of nostalgia for some, but widely, a more forgotten memory for most.

9

‘The Outpost’ (2018–2021)

Image via The CW

The Outpost is a CW series that maintained its steady sense of intrigue during its run. The show centers around the apparent last Blackblood, Talon (Jessica Green), as she heads toward the frontier fortress known as the Outpost to avenge her murdered people, only to discover black-blood powers.

The Outpost’s blend of mystery and action kept a great many fantasy enthusiasts tuning in every week during its time on air. The series wields an evolving mythology that adds an intriguing amount of depth to it. The Oupost was one of those rare fantasy gems that lasted much longer than anyone thought it ever would. Though many cherished the series, despite its low budget, today, the series gets no attention at all. The Outpost lived in a unique time of CW’s summer niche, and with its modest look besides flashier fantasy hits, the series never became as memorable as other shows, leading it to fade into the background, going mostly unremembered.

8

‘The Shannara Chronicles’ (2016–2017)

Image via MTV

This YA fantasy epic is a bold adaptation of a beloved fantasy saga into a visually striking watch. The Shannara Chronicles focuses on a group of heroes—including Wil Ohmsford (Austin Butler), Amberle Elessedil (Poppy Drayton), and Eretria (Ivana Baquero)—as they band together in order to protect the magical Ellcrys tree, whose survival is significant to keeping dangerous demons from entering their world.

The Shannara Chronicles is a fantastically sincere watch, and during its run, audiences really appreciated that. It was a valid high-gloss attempt to make big fantasy legible to the late-MTV generation. Unfortunately, the series stood as too YA-coded for some and too lore-heavy for others. Still, there was a time when The Shannara Chronicles held viewers completely locked in with its immersive story, but sadly, that time has come and gone as the show was ultimately canceled and inevitably forgotten by even the most diehard fans of that brief era.

7

‘W.I.T.C.H.’ (2004–2006)

Image by Maggie Lovitt.

This animated series may remind most of a lighter, more colorful group of magical girls, but its grittier take on friendship, responsibility, and the burden of protecting multiple worlds gives it a depth that quite a few viewers really appreciated. W.I.T.C.H. follows five middle-school girls, Will Vandom (Kelly Stables), Irma Lair (Candi Milo), Taranee Cook (kittie KaBoom), Cornelia Hale (Christel Khalil), and Hay Lin (Liza del Mundo), whose elemental powers mark them as the Guardians of the Veil.

W.I.T.C.H. came to audiences during a time of durable Western magical-girl hybrids. The series’ themes of growth and responsibility hold up rather well and are still able to resonate with lingering audiences of the animation. Sadly, with the series no longer widely streaming in the U.S., its once devoted fanbase has grown up, and it now exists more in memory rather than in circulation. W.I.T.C.H. has quietly slipped away in the dark abyss of the majorly unknown, growing into a truly forgotten fantasy gem that is frequently overlooked.

6

‘The Fades’ (2011)

BBC Three

The Fades is a British supernatural fantasy series that builds a truly tense and mysterious story. The series centers around the teenager Paul (Iain De Caestecker), who is haunted by apocalyptic visions and the ability to see the dead, while his friend Mac (Daniel Kaluuya) and a network of allies are drawn into an escalating war.

The Fades is actually one of the finest “great but gone” entries on this list of forgotten fantasies. Audiences received the show pretty well during its time on screen, yet it somehow remains a single-season dead-end in most contemporary viewers’ memories. While The Fades does get rediscovered once in a while, and viewers find themselves shaken with surprise at the fact that something so good left so little a trace, the series remains a quietly overlooked watch that slipped past wider audiences despite its captivating supernatural premise, strong performances, and quality eerie atmosphere.

5

‘Galavant’ (2015–2016)

image via IMDB

This fantasy musical is a quirky bout of music and comedy rather than the more traditional features in the genre’s storytelling. Galavant centers on a seemingly perfect fairy-tale hero, Galavant (Joshua Sasse), who is quickly reduced to a lovesick wreck after Madalena (Mallory Jansen) chooses King Richard (Timothy Omundson) over him.

Galavant is one of those rare fantasy-musical series that wields enough creativity to actually work. Unfortunately, it never got the reach it deserved, failing to find its mainstream audience. Quite a few fans of the show consistently discuss how it would have done well in the streaming era, and the rare few who find the show today still believe so. Galavant is simply too niche—a network TV series that most considered too formally odd, too cheerful, and too ratings-vulnerable, leading it to grow into a cult favorite that is very much forgotten in plain sight.

4

‘Dead Like Me’ (2003–2004)

Dead Like Me is a strong mesh of a unique take on the afterlife and bleak humor. The series follows Georgia “George” Lass (Ellen Muth), who dies absurdly young, only to be recruited by Rube Sofer (Mandy Patinkin) into a team of grim reapers, learning rather quickly that death is no way out of life.

Dead Like Me wields an unconventional premise that should make it much more memorable than it actually is. The series’ tone alone gives it a lasting identity. Thankfully, a very small crowd did seem to enjoy the show’s unusual narrative, of building an intriguing fantasy story out of mundane guilt, labor, grief, and adolescence. While largely forgotten and often not even recognized, those who have stumbled across Dead Like Me tend to still respond with intrigue once taken a chance upon.

3

‘Eastwick’ (2009–2010)

Image Via ABC

Not to be confused with the 2013 supernatural fantasy Witches of East End, or the more iconic 1987 film adaptation of the 1984 novel, the TV series Eastwick is a loose reimagining of a classic story of magic and empowerment. The 2009 fantasy series centers around three very different women, Roxie (Rebecca Romijn), Kat (Jaime Ray Newman), and Joanna (Lindsay Price), who are drawn together after a strange encounter.

Eastwick combines small-town witch fiction with primetime soap musculature, and ultimately stands as a forgotten fantasy because it tried to turn a known literary adaptation into ensemble television rather than a simple remake. The series wasn’t necessarily a bad idea; instead, it was more of a mistimed one. Eastwick never found its mainstream audience, being much too glossy to be truly niche, and too unstable tonally to settle into broad comfort viewing, marking it as an unfortunate addition to this list of shows that quietly slipped from attention.

2

‘The Secret Circle’ (2011–2012)

Image via The CW

The Secret Circle is a one-season momentary wonder that explores witchcraft through a teen drama lens. The series focuses on Cassie Blake (Britt Robertson), who moves to Chance Harbor after her mother’s death and discovers that she is a hereditary witch as she begins to develop powerful magical abilities.

The Secret Circle held a ton of potential for expansion, but cancellation brought all of that to a quick end. It’s a series that skillfully builds tension while dealing out drama, as with any good teen series. The Secret Circle, being a CW series that was quickly brought to an end, is probably why it stands as a forgotten old favorite today. It’s an entry that deserved another chance and never got one, leading it to fail the test of time against flashier contemporary hits.

1

‘Wonderfalls’ (2004)

Image via Fox

This forgotten fantasy gem is rather short-lived but does deliver an interesting story that wields quirky, character-driven storytelling. Wonderfalls follows a Brown philosophy graduate, named Jaye Tyler (Caroline Dhavernas), who’s working a dead-end Niagara Falls gift-shop job when inanimate objects begin speaking to her in cryptic commands, nudging her into other people’s spaces while destabilizing her own.

No matter how brief or forgotten Wonderfalls is, the series remains a great one-of-a-kind show that deserves far more credit for its unique tale. With a blend of magical realism and genuine oddity that makes it charming, the fantasy series wields a cult status that is well deserved. Wonderfalls made the mistake of only showcasing four episodes on network TV and left the full life of the series to DVD, leaving it as a forgotten gem that structurally prevented it from entering the mainstream memory stream.

The Yellowstone franchise is returning in a major way with Marshalls airing on CBS and Dutton Ranch set to hit Paramount+, you may be searching for some other great neo-Westerns to sink into. Perhaps it’s time to move just south of the border with a 2005 feature film that you probably had no idea even existed. A few years before he would star in No Country for Old Men (another great neo-Western you’ve got to see), actor Tommy Lee Jones took center stage in the powerful and moving picture, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. Sometimes just called Three Burials, the film follows a rancher named Pete Perkins (Jones) as he seeks justice for the death of his friend, whom he hopes to bury in his Mexican hometown. If you loved all the time the latest season of Yellowstone spent down in Texas, then Three Burials is an easy next step.

‘The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada’ Is a Powerful Neo-Western Classic

WhileYellowstone spent a lot of time focusing on land development plots and grand political drama,Three Burialsis a more personal tale, one that involves murder and a Don Quixote-like journey through the United States-Mexico desert wilderness. Just asKevin Costner‘s John Duttontook his promises quite literally, so too does Pete Perkins. After his friend, Melquiades Estrada (Julio Cedillo), is murdered and buried with no official investigation (his illegal status being a barrier for local law enforcement), Pete takes it into his own hands to see that he’s buried properly in the Mexican homeland he came from. Of course, this means that Melquiades isn’t just buried once or even twice, but three times in the film, hence the name.

One thing that makes Three Burials stand out are the almost Rashomon-like flashbacks used throughout. The film is littered with them, and if you’re not careful, the timeline could easily get confusing. Yet, each dive back into the past is vital to our understanding of the full context of Pete’s mission, and his reasons for kidnapping U.S. Boarder Patrol operative Mike Norton (Barry Pepper, who played “Lucky” Ned Pepper in the 2010 True Grit remake). It turns out, Mike is the man responsible for Melquiades’ unwarranted death, and it’s a weight that has stuck with him ever since. As Pete forces Mike through the desert waste of West Texas, the pair begin to change as a result of their bizarre journey, which includes rattlesnake encounters, television soap operas, and a twist that Pete didn’t see coming.

We won’t spoil the ending of The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada for you, but it’s that final scene between Pete and Mike that’s the most powerful. Even in the face of death, sadness, and pure brokenness of body, mind, and soul, there is beauty in the way these two are able to finally move past the thing that bonded them together in the first place. For a movie that loves to meditate on death and decay in all its forms (both physically and emotionally), Three Burials is a modern horse opera you can’t ignore.

Tommy Lee Jones Offers a Harsh But Forgiving Portrayal of the Modern West

Of course, a lot of that is because of Tommy Lee Jones, who is at his best here not just as an actor, but as a filmmaker as well. That’s right, Three Burials was indeed directed by Jones himself, who offers a distinct vision for this neo-Western tale. As a director, he effortlessly pulls from the great Westerns of old while making a distinct splash with a bizarre plot and complicated characters who embody the restlessness of West Texas’ Permian Basin (yes, the same place that the Taylor Sheridan drama Landman is set). While Yellowstone is a show that often lets its characters ride into the sunset (and scot-free of the consequences of their actions), Three Burials puts both rancher and border agent through the ringer as they are confronted by the horrors of their actions. As a result, their lives will never be the same.

If you’ve been on the prowl for a new neo-Western drama, one that’s been utterly forgotten by time itself, then The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada is the feature to sink your teeth into. It’s thoughtful, violent, and very specific, but an interesting tale nonetheless. While Taylor Sheridan may offer a more bleak look at the modern American west as the world continues to change, Tommy Lee Jones gives us the perfect cowboy quest that offers just a little bit more. The film doesn’t just prove that Jones is capable as a director (in only his second feature), but it gives the audience hope that, perhaps, even the worst aren’t beyond redemption.

Witney Carson has revealed the reason she was absent from the Dancing With the Stars tour stop in Utah.

“Utah peeps. I’M SO SORRY I CAN’T be there for the Utah shows. I had the Steve Irwin Gala performance with Robert [Irwin] booked last year,” Carson, 32, wrote via her Instagram Story on Saturday, May 2. “If I could be in two places at once I would be! I love you all so much!!”

Carson went on to share several clips from the Steve Irwin Gala, which she attended alongside husband Carson McAllister and their two children: sons Leo, 5, and Jet, 2. The event honors the legacy of the late wildlife expert and conservationist, who died in 2006 after suffering an injury by a stingray while filming a documentary on the Great Barrier Reef.

“At the Steve Irwin Gala tonight supporting our favorite family!” she wrote via her Instagram Story on Saturday. “Such an honor to be here.”

Carson joined the DWTS tour as a special guest from April 21 to 30 alongside former partner and season 34 Mirrorball champion Robert, 22.

“Our last dance, that freestyle, was our way to say thank you to everybody who’s been on that journey,” Robert said on Good Morning America in November 2025, referring to his freestyle routine. “We just knew we had to make it work because it was the way to just say, ‘We’re so grateful for this experience.’”

For Carson, winning felt “so different” this time around. (The pro dancer took home her first Mirrorball Trophy with now-host Alfonso Ribeiro in 2014.)

“The first time I won, I was 19 years old — and now I’m 32,” Carson said at the time. “I have kids now, and to celebrate with them and my husband was so special.”

Since the season came to an end, ABC announced that the competition will return for season 35 with celeb contestants Ciara Miller and Maura Higgins. Robert will also be hosting spinoff show Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro, with the goal of finding the next pro dancer for the main broadcast. Pro Mark Ballas and his mother, Shirley Ballas, will also join the series — set to premiere this summer — as judges.

“Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro features 12 exceptional up-and-coming dancers who move into one house and compete in a grueling audition process,” a logline reads. “[They are] all vying for a coveted spot as a pro dancer on season 35 of Dancing With the Stars.”

Storage Wars star Darrell Sheets’ son, Brandon Sheets, has broken his silence after his father died at age 67.

“My heart is so broken. I love you, Dad, and I will do my best to live in your honor and respect our family,” Brandon wrote via Instagram on Thursday, April 30. “Let’s all continue to build those memories and keep the legacy that is Darrell (The Gambler) Sheets.”

Us Weekly confirmed on April 22 that Darrell died by apparent suicide. In addition to Brandon, Darrell is survived by his daughter, Tiffany Sheets.

“I can’t answer everyone’s questions or concerns right now,” Brandon continued on Thursday, referring to his dad’s death. “I think we all just need time to process and remember all the good that my father was and will continue to be through my son and I.”

He concluded, “The love we all have for this man and all his kindness is only a small portion of who he truly is.”

Darrell’s Storage Wars costars offered their support in the comments section.

“I’m truly so sorry for the incredibly painful loss that you and your family have to endure,” Brandi Passante replied. “Sending you love and hugs from afar.”

Darrell’s ex-wife Kimber Wuerfel has also shared her condolences after the A+E star’s death.

“I haven’t had the words until now. Thank you for all the love, prayers and condolences, it has meant more than I can say,” Wuerfel wrote via Instagram on Thursday. “Darrell gave us so many moments of laughter, connection and life. May the memories you hold of him stay close to your heart, as mine will stay with me forever.”

She concluded, “From our family to yours, thank you. We will make an announcement in the future, for those who wish to participate in a service.”

Actor Wilson Cruz is reacting to former The Hills star Spencer Pratt gaining in the polls as he attempts to become the next mayor of Los Angeles.

“I can’t believe my BELOVED LA is willing to be this f***ing stupid,” Cruz, 52, wrote via his Instagram Stories on Sunday, May 3, over a screenshot of a recent social media post from Pratt, 42, celebrating the success of his mayoral campaign.

“Number 1 on the ballot. Number 1 in the polls,” Pratt wrote via Threads. “Let’s save LA. VOTE PRATT TODAY.”

A community note highlighted various claims about Pratt, who some have deemed a “conspiracy theorist” for allegedly believing the earth is flat and that the deadly 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, was a “false flag” operation.

Spencer Pratt is running for mayor of Los Angeles — but he’s not the only celebrity to try their hand at politics. Pratt announced the news on January 7, 2026. “The system in Los Angeles isn’t struggling, it’s fundamentally broken,” Pratt, 42, said at the “They Let Us Burn” public demonstration, via the New York […]

On January 30, after announcing his candidacy for L.A. mayor on the one-year anniversary of the deadly Palisades fires that destroyed his home, Pratt responded to claims he peddled conspiracy theories.

“If they’re resorting to calling you a conspiracy theorist, you know they have no real argument,” the former reality star said at the time, before attacking California Governor Gavin Newsom.

“The truth is, Gavin is like a magician — he does all the weird stuff with his hands to distract you while money just disappears,” Pratt continued, before citing the movie the 1998 film The Big Lebowski. “Tens of billions in homelessness, problem only gets worse … where’s the money Lebowski?”

Like fellow reality tv star-turned-politician President Donald Trump, Pratt’s campaign has been the subject of some scandal as the mayoral hopeful gains political momentum. After Pratt released a recent ad filmed outside the homes of two of his opponents — incumbent Karen Bass and Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman — the reality TV star was slammed for being “reckless.”

Mayor Bass accused Pratt of doing his “best Trump impression,” while Raman called the ad an “unnecessary” political stunt.

Still, nothing seems to be slowing Pratt down — he has received an influx of campaign cash from former Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss, a bump in the poll numbers and an increase in celebrity support, including an endorsement from podcaster Joe Rogan, who helped get President Trump elected twice.

Political commentator and former The View cohost Meghan McCain has even gone so far as to predict that Pratt will win the highly contentious mayoral race.

“I’m actually really excited,” fellow The Hills alum Audrina Patridge exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, May 1, of her former costar’s political ambitions. “He impressed me. I listened to some of his interviews, and at first when I heard, I was like, ‘Wait, is he really doing it? Is it a joke? Is it real?’ But he is, and he is very intelligent, and I think that he would make a lot of change to L.A. and he would follow through with what he said.”

When Can I Watch ‘Euphoria’ Season 3, Episode 4?

Season 3, episode 3 of Euphoria debuts on Sunday, May 3, at 6 p.m. PDT/9 p.m. EDT. The eight-episode season will run through May 31, with new episodes dropping every Sunday.

Where Is ‘Euphoria’ Season 3, Episode 4 Streaming?

Euphoria streams exclusively on HBO Max, but you can also watch it on HBO if you have broadcast cable.

Can You Watch ‘Euphoria’ Season 3, Episode 4 for Free?

No. Sadly, to stream Euphoria, you need a subscription to HBO Max. To add salt to the wound, the streamer is not doing any free trial periods either.

What Happened in ‘Euphoria’ Season 3, Episode 3?

Episode 3 finally put Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) and Nate’s (Jacob Elordi) highly anticipated wedding on center stage, and of course, the affair rapidly devolved into chaos — and even violence. Cassie surely got her $50,000 worth of flowers, but that excessive display of wealth did not go unnoticed by Naz (Jack Topalian), the dangerous loan shark to whom Nate owes half a million dollars. Naz crashes the wedding, and the ceremony becomes a pressure cooker for Nate’s financial issues and the fragile foundation of his relationship with his now-wife. In the end, Nate can’t smooth-talk his way out of not losing his pinky toe in an act of vengeful violence by Naz. Worst wedding day ever?

Meanwhile, Rue (Zendaya) remains entangled in the increasingly dangerous criminal dealings of being an employee of Alamo’s (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje). Rue ditches the wedding festivities so she can join up with Bishop (Darrell Britt-Gibson) to confront Laurie (Martha Kelly) as a covert revenge mission to drug her beloved pet parrot, Paladin. We also learn about how Jules (Hunter Schafer) made her way into the world of sugar babying, giving context to how she ended up in her current lifestyle as the sugar baby to plastic surgeon Ellis (Sam Trammell).

The wedding also reunited  Jules and Nate and Jules and Nate’s father, Cal (Eric Dane), with whom she had a brief sexual affair in season 1, both of which provide closure to their individual relationships. What we don’t get closure on is the relationship between Maddy (Alexa Demie) and Nate, as the wedding proves to be too much emotionally for Maddy, who ends up ditching the wedding sometime after Rue’s departure.

What’s Going to Happen in ‘Euphoria’ Season 3, Episode 4?

Based on the trailer for episode 4, and following Rue’s shocking arrest at the conclusion of episode 3, it looks like she enters into a deal with the feds to feed them information on Laurie and Alamo in exchange for reduced charges (or possibly no charges at all?). Jules links up with Lexi (Maude Apatow) for some sort of acting role, and she meets Lexi’s boss (Sharon Stone). Nate goes up against the court about his “white fritillary” issues, and Maddy begins guiding Cassie to her dreams of social media stardom. Laurie also mourns the loss of Paladin, and she and her boys deliberate how to hit back at Alamo. The trailer ends with Rue and stripper Magick (Rosalía) held up at gunpoint.

They will head to the Highlands alongside an eclectic lineup that includes Oscar-nominated actor Richard E. Grant, singer James Blunt, and “Love Island UK” host Maya Jama.

The cast also includes journalist social media star King Kenny, former Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock, “Miranda” star Miranda Hart, “EastEnders” actor Ross Kemp, and “Heartstopper” actor Sebastian Croft.

‘The Celebrity Traitors’ Season 2 Begins Filming

“The Celebrity Traitors” is a spinoff of the BBC’s hit reality series “The Traitors,” which, like its American counterpart, is based on the Dutch competition show “De Verraders.”

Returning host Claudia Winkleman will once again oversee the chaos as the celebrities battle it out for a prize pot of up to £100,000, which will go to their chosen charities.

According to reports, filming is already underway at Ardross Castle in Scotland, with several celebrities, including Ramsey, spotted arriving at the venue, per Metro.

The show is expected to debut this autumn, although an official premiere date has yet to be announced. Producers will likely be hoping to replicate the success of the first season, which drew an average of 14.9 million viewers.

Viewers React To Star-Studded ‘Celebrity Traitors’ Lineup

Fans are already weighing in on the newly announced “Celebrity Traitors” lineup, with many sharing their excitement over the stars set to enter the castle.

However, some viewers were also quick to point out the absence of rumored names they had hoped to see on the show.

One of the biggest disappointments for fans appeared to be “League of Gentlemen” star Steve Pemberton, who many had predicted would feature in the upcoming season.

“The announcement for the new series of Celebrity Traitors is such a rollercoaster,” one fan wrote on X. “What do you mean I am screaming because Michael Sheen and James Acaster are in, but also because Steve Pemberton is not??”

Bella Ramsey Wants To Move On From Roles Like ‘GOT’

Meanwhile, Ramsey recently made headlines after saying they’d like to drift from playing roles as they did on “The Last of Us” and “Game of Thrones” to those they find interesting and have a liking for.

“I’m really steering away from … I mean, things like The Last of Us and Game of Thrones,” Ramsey told The Hollywood Reporter back in February.

Although the 22-year-old actress described featuring in those movies as an “absolutely incredible experience” and admitted they served as “launchpads” for their career, Ramsey noted that they’re set to take on new challenges going forward.

“Now I’m in this position where I understand the privilege of being able to choose and to do the projects that interest me, even if they have no budget. I don’t care. That’s how I’ve always done it in my career,” Ramsey said.

Bella Ramsey Reflected On Coming Out As Non-Binary

Ramsey, who first came out as non-binary in 2023, recently opened up about the mixed feelings they have had since making their identity public.

The actor admitted that part of them regrets speaking about it openly because they did not want it to become a major headline.

“Part of me looks back, and I wish that I didn’t, because I didn’t want it to become a headline and a big thing,” Ramsey told The Observer.

They added that they now understand why such a remark would attract attention, but said they “didn’t really understand that” at the time.

Every spring, I tell myself I’ll reach for my usual rotation of breezy dresses — and without fail, I end up remembering why so many of them stay buried in the back of my closet. Between hemlines that fly up, clingy fabrics and silhouettes that somehow feel both fussy and uncomfortable, getting dressed can start to feel like more effort than it’s worth. This year, I wanted something easier.

That’s exactly why I’m retiring spring dresses for flowy skirts instead. A great midi or maxi skirt feels infinitely more versatile, pairing effortlessly with the tanks, tees and lightweight sweaters I already own while offering more comfort, coverage and styling flexibility. Even better? These 13 flattering spring skirts start at just $14, making the low-effort wardrobe upgrade surprisingly affordable.

I’m Retiring Spring Dresses for These Low-Effort Skirts

1. Our Favorite: The chiffon fabric and elastic high waist on this pleated maxi skirt give it real movement when I walk. The dainty floral print keeps it feeling soft instead of loud.

2. Very Versatile: Finding one skirt that handles vacation, errands and dinner out is rare. This tiered maxi does all three because the white base pairs with literally everything I own.

3. Has Pockets: Pockets on a flowy, floral skirt feel like winning the lottery. This boho maxi skirt has deep pockets that actually hold my phone and keys without sagging the fabric.

4. Gorgeous Gingham: I wanted something cheerful that wasn’t another floral, and this gingham maxi hit the mark. The swing shape skims past the hips instead of clinging.

5. Top Trend: The puff hem on this bubble maxi skirt is what makes it feel current instead of basic. Elastic waist, hidden pockets and a silhouette that’s all over my feed right now.

6. Boho Babe: I pair this flowy boho skirt with a tank and woven sandals for weekend coffee runs. It’s become my unofficial uniform once temperatures hit the 70s.

7. Beige Beauty: I needed a neutral maxi that worked with bold tops, and this boho ruffle skirt solved it. The high waist tucks in cleanly under cropped knits.

8. Comfort MVP: I throw on this comfy maxi skirt with sneakers and a t-shirt for Saturday errands. The drawstring lets me adjust after lunch without unbuttoning anything.

9. Petite-Perfect: Maxi lengths can swallow shorter frames, which is why this flowy midi skirt works so well. The knee-length cut and high waist elongate without overwhelming.

10. Darling Denim: I missed wearing denim once skirts replaced my dresses, and this tiered denim maxi bridged the gap. The tiers add movement, so it doesn’t feel heavy.

11. Luxe Lace: Synthetic fabrics get sticky in summer heat, which is why this cotton eyelet skirt earned its keep. It breathes well, and the lace dresses up a plain tee.

12. Plaid Perfection: I styled this colorful plaid maxi with a black fitted tee and ballet flats for date night. It looked expensive without trying too hard.

13. Cargo Classic: Cargo pockets on a parachute-style maxi feel unexpectedly chic. This cotton cargo skirt has the baggy drape that’s everywhere right now, without being uncomfortable.

You’ve booked the trip, blocked the calendar and now you’re staring at a closet full of clothes that feel wrong for poolside lunches and sunset dinners.

Although he’s primarily known for delivering action thrills, Tom Hardy has also found plenty of success leaning into sci-fi. One of the earliest roles of his career was aboard the ill-fated Star Trek: Nemesis, where he showed some promise as the villain Shinzon. His defining turn in the genre, however, remains the blockbuster smash Mad Max: Fury Road from 2015. Helmed by longtime franchise steward George Miller, the first installment in the post-apocalyptic series without Mel Gibson is still often considered among the greatest action films ever put to the screen, with a sheer scale that’s been hard to match since.

By far Hardy’s lengthiest sci-fi series, though, was Sony’s trilogy of Venom films, casting him as the titular Spider-Man anti-hero, Eddie Brock. Beginning in 2018 and wrapping up in 2024 with Venom: The Last Dance, the superhero spin-offs defied often middling reviews to become crowd-pleasing hits, making over $1.8 billion collectively. Each film followed the growing bond between Eddie and the alien symbiote that has merged with him, originally seeing the rage-filled being trying to control the reporter before learning to co-exist and even taking down another symbiote that possessed violent criminal Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson) in Venom: Let There Be Carnage. By the time the trilogy-capper rolled around, they forged a ride-or-die friendship that has kept audiences captivated to this day.

Now, The Last Dance has once again returned to Prime Video‘s global charts, rising to fourth place overall despite only being available on Netflix in the U.S. It’s a testament to the enduring nature of both the movies and the character of Venom in general around the world. Written and directed by Kelly Marcel, who previously helped pen the previous two films, the big send-off follows the pair on the run after being labeled fugitives at the end of Let There Be Carnage. Not just on the run from the authorities, they’re pursued by Xenophages sent at the behest of Knull (Andy Serkis), the creator of the symbiotes, who seeks to free himself. In the end, the duo is forced to make devastating decisions to save everything, ultimately bringing their story to a close in dramatic fashion. Joining Hardy for the dance are Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Rhys Ifans, Stephen Graham, Peggy Lu, and Alanna Ubach.

Tom Hardy Isn’t Quite Done With ‘Venom’ Yet

Although The Last Dance saw Venom say goodbye to Eddie, the duo’s time on the big screen isn’t done just yet. Back in February, a new Venom movie was announced, but this iteration is an animated outing from Sony Pictures Animation and Final Destination Bloodlines directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein. The original producers behind the Venom trilogy are all back in the fold as well, along with Hardy, though the question remains whether he’ll be voicing Eddie again or if he’s merely serving in a production or advisory role. With no writer attached yet, it’s also unknown if the new movie will connect to the ending of The Last Ending in any way, or if this will be an entirely new story.

Venom: The Last Dance is now streaming on Prime Video internationally. U.S. viewers, meanwhile, can find it on Netflix. Stay tuned here at Collider for more on all the biggest hits on streaming throughout the year.
