‘Stranger Things’ Easter Egg May Have Just Revealed the Future of Netflix’s New Stellar Sci-Fi Series
[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for The Boroughs Season 1]
Summary
After the massive success of Stranger Things put Netflix at the forefront of sci-fi television, the Duffer Brothers return to the streamer with Upside Down Pictures’ The Boroughs, created by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance). From the get, the eight-episode series establishes a familiar Steven Spielberg-inspired whimsy, and immediately confronts viewers with a lurking danger, a threat that won’t let its Season 1 finale end on too much of a high. To break down that telling final shot, Collider’s Steve Weintraub sat down with stars Geena Davis, Denis O’Hare, and Clarke Peters for clues to future seasons.
In the show, retiree Sam Cooper (Alfred Molina) reluctantly moves to a quaint retirement facility, The Boroughs, in the solitary desert of New Mexico. From the outside, the community is a picture-perfect escape, but this little patch of heaven, run by Blaine (Seth Numrich) and Anneliese Shaw (Alice Kremelberg), hides a deadly mystery that Sam and his new friends, Renee (Davis), Judy (Alfre Woodard), Art (Peters), and Wally (O’Hare) are determined to get to the bottom of.
Don’t miss the full conversation in the video above or the transcript below, where Davis, O’Hare, and Peters discuss the meaning of that final Stranger Things Easter egg shot, what they know about The Boroughs’ future, and what goes on between takes on set. The trio also reflects on their careers, recommending next watches for new fans, and sharing their preparation process for ambitious emotional scenes.
‘The Boroughs’ Stars on What to Watch Next
Geena Davis also denies that the Thelma & Louise callback hides any sinister secrets…
COLLIDER: So you read the script for Episode 5, and you see that you’re going to be in the front seat of a car overlooking a crevasse. Did you think, “Am I making another Thelma & Louise?”
GEENA DAVIS: Really? Is that what you thought? I’m so surprised. It didn’t occur to me. [Laughs] I don’t go over the cliff! That’s all we know.
When I saw it, though, I was like, “What?” There’s going to be a whole generation of people watching this that are younger, that actually will not have seen your work before. For each of you, after someone who hasn’t seen your work sees this, what’s the first thing you’d like them watching from your resume after this?
DAVIS: That’s an interesting question.
DENIS O’HARE: I definitely have a different fandom because of True Blood and [American] Horror Story. True Blood tends to skew, now, a little older, but Horror Story, some of these fars are, like, 17, 18, 16. The other day in LA, this kid said to me, “I was raised on you,” and I was like, “What?” “Yeah, I started watching you at 13.” And I was like, “Oh my god, how old are you now?” He’s 25. So, I definitely have that. But I would tell them definitely to go back and watch True Blood for me.
CLARKE PETERS: I would say go look at Treme. Yeah, I would say look at Treme because of the mysticism in Treme and the mysticism in this. There is a connection, and if they’re watching them both and they make the connection, then I will have done my job.
DAVIS: The Long Kiss Goodnight, I think, is the most important one to see. I mean, if they haven’t seen Thelma & Louise, I would say that movie. It holds up. It’s 35 years later, but it really does.
When you guys signed on for this, how much were you told about, “If the show’s a hit and we do more than one season, this is what we have planned,” and how much is it sort of like, “We’re just going to tell you nothing?”
PETERS: I got, “They’re going to tell you nothing.”
DAVIS: They tell you nothing. I don’t know anything about next season.
PETERS: Nothing. Notta, notta, notta. The business has changed so much that nowadays you get sides that have nothing. You have no context. Have you experienced this? No one wants to reveal anything, even to the people that they want to hire. So, they’re not going to tell us what’s going to happen in Season 5 — are you?
What Does Episode 8’s Final Shot Really Mean for ‘The Boroughs’?
All we’re saying is this didn’t bode well for Will in Stranger Things…
The ending of Episode 8 has Sam, Alfred [Molina]’s character, glitching with the mirror? When you read that in the script, or if you saw the episode, were you asking, “Okay, so, what does this mean?”
O’HARE: Well, the ending is too nice. It’s too jovial. It’s too normal. You know what I mean? You’re looking at it, and you’re going, “What? Where’s the underbelly here?” So when you see that glitch, you’re like, “Ah, right. Things are not solved. Things are not back to normal. Things are still dangerous,” which I love.
DAVIS: Yes. The characters think it’s all over, “We won,” but yeah.
PETERS: But even Sam doesn’t see it.
O’HARE: Exactly. He has his head down, which is great. I love that.
There’s also a part two to this because I studied the ending of the episode, and the last frame is this collapsing thing that almost goes into, like, a black hole, and I’m like, “What the hell is this?” Did you ask about that, or am I alone wondering what that last shot was?
O’HARE: Well, the visual style of the show, I think, is really another character. The very first shot of the very first episode is that the huge drone shot coming in. You’re coming in, coming in, coming in, and you go into the house to see Dee Wallace. That’s an amazing visual statement of someone. Who is that POV? Who is looking into Dee Wallace’s house? And at the end, who is that? You know what I mean?
100%. The Duffers have joked that this show is Stranger Things but with golf carts instead of bicycles. Did you hear that? What was your reaction?
DAVIS: [Laughs] I did hear that. I thought that was pretty clever.
What’s cool about the show is that it has this ‘80s, Amblin-esque kind of thing. It’s a cool tone. Can you sort of talk about what it’s like to make one of those shows that has that magic realism, if you will?
O’HARE: Well, part of it is that the set was awesome.
DAVIS: Unbelievable.
O’HARE: The houses that we were living in, some of those houses were completely done. They were complete. You walk in, and it’s an actual house. Some were less complete. But all the visuals, the way the TV looks, even the logo of the Boroughs, it’s sort of ‘40s, ‘50s. Blaine and his wife, they definitely feel like June and Ward. We have a June and Ward line at one point. “Hi! Welcome home, Ward!” “Hi, June!” There are so many references to classic TV, like The Golden Girls are on TV, old movies, and it creates that world where you’re like, “Where are we?” We’re in a world of seeming perfection, which is hiding something else.
All Your ‘Stranger Things’ Series Finale Questions Answered By the Duffer Brothers [Exclusive]
Creators Matt and Ross Duffer address fan theories, “Byler,” deleted scenes, and answer our biggest questions after Season 5.
‘The Boroughs’ Cast Share Advice for Younger Generations
The trio also discuss how they prep for big emotional scenes.
The showrunners have mentioned that, according to some napkin math, the cast is like 350 years worth of acting experience. It’s a big number.
DAVIS: That’s a big number!
It is. So when the cameras stopped rolling in between takes, who’s the absolute troublemaker, or did you all have a very similar kind of work ethic/play ethic?
DAVIS: We fooled around a lot. Nobody was like, “Don’t bother me, I’m in my character.”
PETERS: No, it wasn’t like that. “Don’t take me out of my zone.” No, it was fun. Something we discovered last night, it was observed last night, is that in between our takes, we’d talk. In between the takes of younger generations, they go to the phone.
[Laughs] Sure.
PETERS: There’s a big difference in that and how that affects the individual and their performance as an ensemble. This is very much like that. So, what happens in between takes can be anything besides a phone.
I’m always curious how actors get ready for a really big emotional scene, so for all three of you, if you have a really big scene on a Monday, do you like to rehearse the full scene and get into all of it before you get to set, or how much do you sort of go halfway and want to save the the emotion, if you will, for when you’re actually on camera?
O’HARE: I think the weird thing for me to know is what is the shot sequence? What shot are you going to use? You know what I mean? Not that I’m saving it for the close-up, but if this is going to live in the close-up, let me know that so I can pace myself so I’m not blowing my wad on the two-shot. You know what I mean? So, you kind of want to know what they’re thinking about the architecture of how they’re going to build the scene. Because, I’ll speak for me, I’ve only got, like, four or five good takes in me for a big emotional thing. After that, I mean, maybe I’ll come back to something, but always, the first one’s not going to be my best, maybe not the second — I aim for three. Number three.
PETERS: That’s something I learned from him because last year, you were having that same conversation about a particular scene. I thought, “I’ve never thought about that.” Because coming from theater, you just do it, you just do it. I’m not worried about pacing. But that is something I learned from you. Thank you. Because recently, I had a big scene, and I was thinking, “I really want to mine that, but I don’t want to blow my wad, so to speak, to begin with,” and that conversation came back, so thank you. What he said. Definitely.
DAVIS: If it’s a big scene, I don’t like to rehearse it too much. I don’t want to just say the words without acting in a rehearsal, but I don’t want to go there, also. So, the less practice, the better for an important scene like that.
The Boroughs is streaming on Netflix now.

Star Trek has been entertaining sci-fi fans for 60 years through TV shows, movies, books, and comics. There’s only one entertainment sector where the franchise historically falters: video games. If we’re being honest, there have only ever been a handful of really good Star Trek games, and the best ones came out literally decades ago. Because of that, any Star Trek fans looking to lose themselves in a good video game would be forgiven for giving a Bones-like prognosis to the state of modern Trek titles: “it’s dead, Jim!”
However, all of that is changing. We already got Star Trek: Voyager—Across the Unknown, a game that puts us in command of Voyager as the crew tries to make it back home from the Delta Quadrant. Later this year, we’ll be getting a SimCity-style game (Star Trek: Outposts Unknown) as well as a digital, customizable card battler (Star Trek Warp). Next year, Star Trek: Shadow Frontier will put us in control of Ro Laren, with Michelle Forbes reprising her role from The Next Generation. So, what’s the deal with all these games? What are they about, and when can you play them? Keep scrolling to replicate answers to all these questions!
Finally, You Can Kill Tuvix Yourself
The first game to kick off the Star Trek video game renaissance is Star Trek: Voyager—Across the Unknown, and it takes the franchise where it has never gone before. You take control of Voyager after it is zapped into the Delta Quadrant, and like Captain Janeway, you must help everyone find their way back home to the Alpha Quadrant. Much of the game is spent managing finite resources and using your best judgment of which systems to prioritize. Speaking of judgment, you’ll have to make snap calls in several adventures (including recreations of iconic Voyager dilemmas, like whether to kill Tuvix) that can save the day or possibly get everyone killed.
The general consensus on Star Trek: Voyager—Across the Unknown (which is out now on console and PC) is that it’s good but not great. The most notable thing about it is arguably its sandbox nature and its emphasis on resource management. Historically, many Star Trek games have been shooters, real-time strategy games, and RPGs filled with bonkers puzzles. This was the first game to focus extensively on both resource management and narrative choices, making it arguably the best Starfleet captain simulation since the 2002 title Star Trek: Bridge Commander.
Two More To Beam Up
Surprisingly enough, we’re going to get two more Star Trek games this year. One of them is Star Trek: Outposts Unknown (which will be released for PC and console sometime this year). This game is designed like SimCity, but with a Trek twist. Basically, you are trying to build, maintain, and defend an outpost on a distant planet. That means exploring strange new worlds, gathering resources, and defending everyone from the planet’s most hostile creatures. While not exactly a cozy game, the Outposts Unknown demo (which is out on Steam) proved surprisingly relaxing, which may be good news for players who don’t like the intensity of games like StarCraft.
The other big Star Trek video game of 2026 is Star Trek Warp. This title is described as a “card battler” that lets players “choose characters from a huge roster of Star Trek legends, heroes, and villains, and deploy them at iconic locations like Ten-Forward and the Warp Core.” With seven virtual lanes to defend, this game is designed to keep you on your toes; the title also features both PvE and PvP modes. Overall, Warp sounds like the weird lovechild of League of Legends (what with the lane defense) and the old Star Trek Customizable Card Game. That might just help it appeal to both young fans and older fans.
A New Strategy And An Old Legend
The most exciting new Star Trek game won’t be coming out until next year. Star Trek: Shadow Frontier is a survival horror title where a Starfleet officer must survive on a mysterious planet. The twist? That officer is Ro Laren, who once left the Enterprise-D to join the Maquis before making her way back to Starfleet. Since her surprise appearance in Picard, fans have been wondering how she went from being a principled rebel to being a good, rule-abiding officer. Shadow Frontier may very well give us that explanation. If nothing else, it will give us something unique: a Silent Hill-type game set in the Star Trek universe.
So, what’s up with this sudden influx of Star Trek video games? The smart money is that Paramount is continuing to throw everything at the wall with this franchise to see what sticks. No Star Trek show is currently in development, and the only definitive thing on the horizon is a movie intended to give this universe its second huge reboot. Trek games (particularly those featuring characters like Ro Laren and Tuvok) are a way of appealing to older fans who like the IP and younger fans who just like gaming. By seeing what sells, Paramount can finally get to the bottom of a decades-old question: what the heck Star Trek fans actually want.

The Pitt is going through another major change — with a main character leaving the ER in season 3.
Shabana Azeez, who plays student doctor Victoria Javadi, told Bustle earlier this month that she will be returning to the hit HBO Max show in a different way, saying, “I’m not in the ER this season.”
Azeez broke down the reason for the shakeup.
“I’ve done my ER rotation, so I’m doing my psychiatry rotation,” she continued. “It’s a very different vibe for me. And I’m scared and nervous. But it’s an honor to be able to show that part of medicine.”
The season 3 update comes after The Pitt received backlash for Supriya Ganesh‘s exit. The actress made her mark on HBO Max’s The Pitt when she was introduced in the role of Samira Mohan.
Ganesh appeared in two seasons before news broke in March that she would be written out of the show after season 2. The decision wasn’t well recieved by fans who were still upset about Tracy Ifeachor‘s exit after season 1. Both departures were referred to as a creative choice.
“It’s sort of the nature of the show. Unfortunately, the way the medical profession works, you come in, you learn, you move on, and we want to try and be as truthful to that process as possible,” Gemmill explained to Us Weekly at the time. “So we’re going to turn over our cast. But I think it’s a great launching pad for people, and that’s the best we can do.”

In a separate interview, Gemmill addressed the criticism surrounding multiple women of color leaving The Pitt.
“It eliminates the false jeopardy some shows have,” he told Vulture. “[Mohan] is somebody who doesn’t have a job lined up and might not know where she’s going next, and we’re trying to build up the uncertainty that these young physicians face.”
The interviewer pointed out to Gemmill that the show’s two major departures have both been women of color. In response, Gemmill called it “just a by-product of having a diverse cast,” adding, “We have a lot of women, and a lot of women of color. It’s just a coincidence more than anything else.”
The Pitt cast has not shied away from reacting to losing some of their own as multiple actors leave the show. HBO Max’s hit series, which premiered in January 2025, follows a group of employees at a fictional Pittsburgh hospital’s ER working a single 15-hour shift. The series is led by Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle), […]
Wyle, 54, also defended the casting shakeup.
“Emergency rooms have a high revolving door,” Wyle told Variety at PaleyFest’s screening of The Pitt earlier this month. “As always, we try to bring in new characters or promote from within as we go through these cast changes and try to keep the story lines fresh.”
Wyle didn’t rule out more departures before the show starts filming season 3, adding, “It’s an inevitability that’s going to happen every season with this show, because as writers we’re hard-pressed to figure out what a lapse of time we can have and keep most of the ensemble together realistically.”
He concluded: “Obviously Supriya has been a huge part of our show since the beginning. Dr. Mohan is a beloved character, and I love playing with her and working with Supriya, and we wish her all the best in her next endeavors, and we’re going to miss her.”
The Pitt has been renewed for season 3 on HBO Max.
Meghan Markle is celebrating the arrival of a new season with a rare look into her home life with Prince Harry and their children.
Markle, 44, took to Instagram on Tuesday, June 9, to post a carousel of candid photos snapped throughout the couple’s idyllic home in Montecito, California.
“Springing into summer 🌼,” the Duchess of Sussex captioned the post, which opened with a black-and-white snap of herself lying on the grass with a straw hat, concealing her face as she sprawled beside a bunch of fresh-cut blooms.
Another shot captured Harry, 41, kicking a super-sized soccer ball around the grass with the couple’s son, Archie, 7, while another image showed their daughter, Lilibet, 5, wearing a white T-shirt emblazoned with an illustration of Beyoncé. “B if for Beyoncé,” read a line of text above the drawing, which also depicted large hoop earrings that read “Queen Bey” from left to right.
A second black-and-white shot showed Markle and Harry from behind, seated on a bench seemingly amid a workout as Markle rested her sneaker-clad feet up next to her as she cuddled Harry, who wore a backwards cap.
Additional photos in the carousel showed the couple’s rescue beagle, Mamma Mia, sleeping under the sunshine just off the home’s porch, a bird’s nest filled with three white eggs and later with three baby birds, Markle rocking a double denim ensemble and slicing onions in the kitchen, and a basket haul of fresh vegetables and fruit seemingly harvested from the family’s garden.
Just five days prior, Markle celebrated Lilibet’s 5th birthday with a smaller Instagram carousel that showed both the youngster exploring a lush green garden and her being doted on by her beaming parents. “Our dream girl,” Markle captioned the post. “Happy 5th birthday, Lili.”
Meghan Markle is celebrating her and Prince Harry’s daughter, Princess Lilibet, on International Women’s Day. “For the woman she will one day be … Happy International Women’s Day,” Meghan, 44, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, March 8, noting that the photo was taken by Harry, 41. “📸: Papa Sussex.” In the snap, Meghan is seen […]
Markle and Harry tied the knot on May 19, 2018, at Windsor Castle’s St George’s Chapel in England. They celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary the same month that they welcomed Archie into the world. The following year, the pair announced their decision to step back as senior members of the royal family before relocating to the U.S. permanently.
News broke in August, 2020, that the couple had purchased a $14.65 million home in Montecito. A source told Us Weekly at the time, “Montecito is only just over an hour’s drive from L.A., which is where a majority of their work is based, yet far enough away to escape the crowds, paparazzi and tourism in Hollywood.”
Lilibet arrived in June 2021. The pair shared via a statement posted to their philanthropy website at the time, “On June 4th, we were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lili. She is more than we could have ever imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we’ve felt from across the globe. Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family.”
The couple added that their daughter’s first name was chosen to honor her late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, who died at the age of 96 in September 2022. She had held the family nickname, Lilibet, herself.

Prime Video’s ongoing fantasy series has become a streaming hit. The Amazon-owned streaming platform has been making headlines lately, with shows like Spider-Noir and Off Campus catching audiences’ attention. But, this week, the streaming platform released the latest installment of its adult fantasy adventure.
The Legend of Vox Machina is an animated fantasy series that began as a Dungeons & Dragons web series/live stream called Critical Role, starring Matthew Mercer as the dungeon master and featuring Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham as the players. In 2019, a Kickstarter campaign was announced to help fund one animated special, but fans raised over $1 million within the first hour the campaign launched, leading to the show receiving a full season.
Since The Legend of Vox Machina debuted in 2022, the show has released three seasons and is currently airing its fourth. As of writing, the first three episodes of Season 4 were released, and over the weekend, The Legend of Vox Machina landed at #5 on Prime Video’s Top 10 charts worldwide, sitting between Clarkson’s Farm and Yo soy Betty la fea. With only three episodes out, Season 4 of The Legend of Vox Machina received high praise, earning a perfect critics’ score and a 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
What Is ‘The Legend of Vox Machina’ About?
Based on the first Dungeons & Dragons campaign of Critical Role, The Legend of Vox Machina is set in Mercer’s fictional world of Exandria. The series follows Vox Machina, a group of adventurers who undertake dangerous quests to protect the realm. In Season 3, the team faced the Chroma Conclave, a powerful alliance of dragons that sought to conquer Tal’Dorei. After defeating the Conclave, Vox Machina goes their separate ways. Scanlan Shorthalt (Riegel) leaves to travel with his daughter, Kaylie, while Keyleth (Ray) continues her Aramenté, with Vax’ildan (O’Brien) accompanying her. Meanwhile, Vex’ahlia (Bailey) and Percy de Rolo (Jaffe) begin a new chapter together in Whitestone. Season 4 picks up one year after the events of Season 3, exploring what has become of the members of Vox Machina since their separation. However, a new threat soon emerges, forcing the legendary heroes to reunite once again.
The first three episodes of The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4 are available to stream on Prime Video, with new episodes coming out every Wednesday. Follow Collider for more updates.

Travis Kelce found himself at the center of unexpected controversy after a joking comment from model Jena Sims sparked backlash among Taylor Swift’s fans.
The wife of golfer Brooks Koepka recently referred to the Kansas City Chiefs star as her “hall pass” while recalling their meeting earlier this year, a remark that quickly ignited criticism online.
While Sims appeared to be joking, many Swift supporters were unimpressed, with some accusing her of crossing a line by publicly discussing the NFL star in that way.
The controversy stems from comments Sims recently made while reflecting on her interactions with Travis Kelce.
The model first met the NFL star at a pro-am golf event in Scottsdale, Arizona, earlier this year.
Kelce and Koepka were paired together for nine holes during the tournament, giving Sims an opportunity to meet someone she had apparently admired for years.
At the time, she openly shared her excitement on social media. “I’m obsessed with Taylor Swift’s fiance even before Taylor was in the picture,” Sims said in a TikTok post.
She also uploaded a photo of herself standing alongside Koepka and Kelce at the event while supporting her husband on the course.
Months later, Sims revisited that encounter during an interview and made another comment that quickly grabbed attention online.
While speaking about meeting Kelce, Sims jokingly referred to him as her celebrity exception. “I was so excited to meet Travis Kelce, I mean, he’s my hall pass. Brooks knows that,” she said in an interview with PEOPLE.
The actress also admitted she specifically planned her outfit for the occasion because she knew the NFL star would be there. According to her, she decided to go for something a “little more sportier” than usual.
Sims revealed that her husband found the whole thing amusing. “Brooks was like, ‘You’re so ridiculous,’” she recalled.
Elsewhere in the interview, she also shared that Kelce recognized her when they crossed paths again several weeks later at the Masters. According to her, the interaction caught her completely off guard.
“He came straight up to me and was like, ‘Hey, it’s good to see you again,’” she said. The recognition surprised Sims because she never expected Kelce to remember her after their brief meeting in Arizona.
“I’m like, ‘Oh my God. You remember me?’” she recalled.
Although she clearly enjoyed the interaction, Sims joked that she will not be receiving an invitation to Kelce and Swift’s wedding.
Despite making the remarks as a joke, many Taylor Swift fans did not find the comments quite as funny. Several took to social media to criticize the interview, arguing that the remarks were inappropriate considering Travis Kelce’s relationship with the singer.
One user wrote per the Daily Mail, “This is the kinda sh-t you keep to yourself and don’t say in an interview…” Others were equally blunt in their reactions.
The backlash continued as Swift fans dissected various parts of Sims’ interview. Some were particularly surprised by her admission that she intentionally dressed differently because she expected to meet Kelce.
“To admit the outfit you’re wearing is because of Travis ….like wtf who says that in an interview,” one critic commented.
Another user questioned why the topic needed to be discussed publicly at all. “I’ve never heard of this woman but how disrespectful to all involved. Maybe she shouldn’t be publicly sharing her ‘hall pass’ as a joke,” they said.
Others summed up their reactions in simpler terms. “CRINGE,” one person posted.
Swift and Kelce’s Rumored Venue Linked To Attack That Left Five Injured
Amid the drama, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are getting ready to walk down the aisle this summer.
As the couple gear up for their big day, their wedding venue has been connected to a disturbing crime story.
As The Blast reported, a violent stabbing rampage unfolded just steps away from Madison Square Garden, the New York arena reportedly being considered for their wedding.
According to reports, five people were slashed inside Penn Station on June 7 when an assailant allegedly attacked victims at random inside the busy transit hub located directly beneath Madison Square Garden.
The incident immediately drew attention because Swift and Kelce are rumored to be planning to host between 1,100 and 1,200 guests on July 3.
Now, security concerns have become an even bigger talking point. Reports indicate Madison Square Garden quickly has implemented enhanced security measures for major events in the area, including increased screening procedures, perimeter controls, and stricter entry requirements.
Taylor Swift Reportedly Left Feeling ‘Very Vulnerable’ After Wedding Leaks Force Major Changes
Last month, The Blast reported that Swift and Travis Kelce were forced to overhaul parts of their wedding plans after a series of leaks exposed details about the highly anticipated event.
According to sources, the leaks were “incredibly disheartening” for the couple, with one insider claiming they had already changed venues and dates in an effort to protect their privacy.
“They’ve had to change venues and dates. It’s been such a monstrous headache, but even worse, it has left Taylor feeling very vulnerable. There are a lot of questions about who to trust,” the source said.
The reported breaches allegedly prompted Swift to become even more protective of the guest list, with strict no-plus-one rules implemented for many attendees.
Insiders claimed the singer didn’t want “random faces in the crowd” and was determined to prevent anyone from “spying” on the ceremony.
One source described the planning process as being “orchestrated like a military operation,” adding that Swift was willing to make “hard choices” if it meant preserving the privacy of what is expected to be one of the most closely watched celebrity weddings in recent memory.

While science fiction has been dominating entertainment in 2026, fantasy has been on the rise lately, with the release of Masters of the Universe, Season 4 of The Legend of Vox Machina, and, arguably, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which has reached $1 billion at the global box office. With many fantasy-adventure projects coming out, it’s no surprise that fans of the genre are revisiting one of its most underrated films, which features a star-studded cast but was seen as a box-office disappointment despite high praise.
Recently, a handful of projects that were seen as disappointments at release have found new audiences on streaming. One current example is the Battleship movie — based on the board game of the same name and featuring a slew of A-list celebrities — which was one of the “biggest box-office bombs of all time,” but has made a streaming comeback. Now, another movie based on a popular board game has found a new audience on streaming.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves was a 2023 fantasy heist film based on the Dungeons & Dragons franchise. Recently, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves dominated Pluto TV’s Top 10 Movie charts during the weekend, ranking #1 in the U.S., just above Top Gun: Maverick. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves stars Chris Pine as Edgin the bard, as he embarks on a heist with his friend Holga the barbarian (Michelle Rodriguez), Simon the wizard (Justice Smith), and Doric the druid (Sophia Lillis) to take back a magic artifact from their former friend and con artist Forge (Hugh Grant), and regain the trust of Edgin’s daughter, Kira (Chloe Coleman). Alongside the main cast, the film also features Bradley Cooper as Holga’s ex-husband, Marlamin; the Australian comedy group Aunty Donna; and a live-action cameo from the main characters of the Dungeons & Dragons TV series.
Is ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ Worth Watching?
Since its release, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves has grossed over $208 million worldwide and was seen as a box-office disappointment. However, the movie was highly praised, earning a 91% Certified Fresh critics’ score and a 92% Verified Hot audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. According to critics, ScreenRant praised the movie’s action sequences and special effects, but there were moments where it may be hard to keep up with the Dungeons & Dragons references, especially for those who have not played the board game. Meanwhile, CBR also praised the movie, most notably the cast, who were able to bring their characters’ personalities and archetypes to life.
Collider’s Carly Lane gave Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves a “B+” rating. She praised the movie for being thoughtful and playful in its execution, and for its filmmakers, Jonathan Goldstein, John Francis Daley, and screenwriter Michael Gillio, for adapting a franchise without shoving Easter eggs or fan service into every scene.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is available to stream on Pluto TV. Follow Collider for more updates.
