Season 3 of XO, Kitty showed Kitty making a choice about who she wanted to be with after her past love triangle drama.

During the newest season, which premiered on Thursday, April 2, Kitty (Anna Cathcart) and Min-ho (Sang Heon Lee) faced ups and downs despite acknowledging their feelings for each other. This led to them nearly not ending up together before Min-ho made a grand gesture in the season 3 finale.

Kitty was on her way home back to Portland, Oregon, as Min-ho tried to chase her down, which felt reminiscent of creator Jenny Han‘s other hit series The Summer I Turned Pretty. Min-ho missed Kitty’s train but was able to send her the song he wrote for her. She listened to it right before they reunited — and finally became a couple.

The final scene showed Kitty and Min-ho on their way back to Portland together as they discussed him meeting the rest of her family. It served as a parallel to her sister Lara Jean (Lana Condor) deciding to make her relationship with Peter (Noah Centineo) work, which she discussed with Kitty earlier in the finale.

Who doesn’t love a good love story? Girl falls in love with boy, then falls in love with his best friend too, for example. The love triangle has been a frequent plot point in TV and film for years, but there is maybe no more iconic angsty trio than the one between Dawson (James Van […]

XO, Kitty has previously explored Kitty’s personal life after she arrived at Korean Independent School of Seoul (KISS) to reunite with long-distance boyfriend Dae (Choi Min-yeong). She later developed feelings for Yuri (Gia Kim) while also having surprising banter with Min-ho.

“It’s definitely Kitty’s heart at the end of the day that is what I want to see succeed. I just want her to follow what feels right for her,” Cathcart exclusively told Us Weekly in March 2024. “And if she’s doing that, I definitely think I’ll be supportive of that.”

Cathcart said she enjoyed getting to see Kitty explore her feelings, adding, “I’ve definitely brought up a few times — even just in conversation with writers — and with different people on the show about where this could go. I think Kitty doesn’t always need to be with [a] person either. I think Kitty’s story is kind of a love letter to the world.”

“She’s so excited about so many things and learning about her family and helping out her friends and discovering just what the world has to offer,” Cathcart continued. “It’s not just a love story with another partner necessarily. I think a lot of her love comes from a lot of different directions.”

Cathcart added: “I’m hoping that Kitty just continues letting herself follow her heart. I think that was a really big thing that she was learning all throughout season 1. If she continues to do what feels right for her and be brave in exploring what that might be and who she might be, I really want to see that journey continue and I hope fans do too. So that’s the direction that I’m definitely hoping we head down.”

XO, Kitty is currently streaming on Netflix.

Kendra Duggar opened up to her husband Joseph Duggar about her plans to get their children into “counseling” following his child molestation arrest.

“I’ve been making plans in my head of what I feel like I need to do moving forward with [the kids], and probably try to get counseling for them,” Kendra, 27, told Joseph, 31, during a phone conversation from his recent stay at the Washington County Sheriff’s Office in Arkansas, according to audio obtained by Us Weekly. “I’ve been making plans in my head of what I feel like I need to do moving forward with [the kids], and probably try to get counseling for them.”

Kendra and Joseph share four children: sons Garrett and Justus and daughters Addison and Brooklyn.

Joseph was arrested in Tontitown, Arkansas, on March 19 on charges of lewd and lascivious behavior involving molestation of a victim less than 12 years old and lewd and lascivious behavior conducted by a person 18 years or older. Bay County, Florida, police say that a 14-year-old victim came forward with accusations that Joseph molested her when she was 9-years-old during a 2020 vacation to Panama City Beach, Florida.

On March 20, Kendra and Joseph were both charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, second degree, and four counts of second degree false imprisonment. Those charges are not connected to Joseph’s child molestation case.

Kendra was released from custody later that day after paying a $1,470 bond, while Joseph was extradited from Arkansas to Florida on Tuesday, March 31.

Prior to Joseph’s extradition, Kendra opened up to her husband in a phone call about struggling with anxiety since her arrest.

“I was anxious to pick up the phone but I’m glad I did because I know that God is good,” she told Joseph. “You know how I am with anxiety, and this is like a whole other level than I’ve experienced in my entire life.”

The Counting On alum added, “I went up into my bed so I’m so weak, and I didn’t know what to do or what to say. I think I was kind of spiraling downhill. Thankfully, she [Joseph’s mom, Michelle Duggar] visited and sat with me and prayed with me. I think that I can’t be by myself and for too long, and I have to, I can be outside by myself, but that’s just where I’m at. When I get reminded of those promises, it’s very encouraging to me and very uplifting. But it’s hard to stay in that mindset, obviously. And I don’t know how I’m gonna get food in today.”

Joseph assured his wife that he was praying for both her and their children when he wasn’t reading scripture.

“I’ve been praying specifically that you would get rest, that you would get food in, and that your energy would be sustained during this. I’m praying this specifically for you,” he told her.

Kendra responded, “I just want you to know where I’m at. It’s really hard. It’s a really hard spot. I know you’re [not here] but I just feel like I need to be encouraged.”

A slew of phone calls between Kendra and Joseph have come out since their recent arrests. One such conversation revolved around the advice Kendra received from Joseph’s mom, Michelle, 59, while another offered insight on where their children are staying.

In a lighter moment, Joseph shared with Kendra that he was occupying himself by doing a “burn bootcamp-style workout” in his “seven by 11-style” jail cell.

“I figured I might as well do something,” Joseph revealed. “I’m doing squats and push-ups. I can do dips off the edge of the bed.”

New audio of Joseph Duggar and wife Kendra Duggar shows the couple discussing her whereabouts after their arrests. “It’s good to hear from you,” Kendra, 27, told Joseph, 31, according to a March 20 collect call he placed to her from Washington County Detention Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas, that was obtained by Entertainment Weekly. In […]

Meanwhile, Joseph’s parents, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar, broke their silence about their son and daughter-in-law’s arrests on Wednesday, April 1.

“Jim Bob and Michelle are heartbroken over this entire situation,” a family spokesperson told Us. “Right now, they are focused on loving their family and helping Kendra and her children during this difficult time. They are praying for the victim. They ask for privacy and appreciate the kind words and prayers offered by so many.”

Jessa Duggar is condemning her brother Joseph Duggar’s alleged actions after he was accused of molesting a child.

“We learned, along with the rest of the world, of the heartbreaking news involving my brother, Joseph, and we are deeply grieved,” Jessa, 33, wrote via an Instagram Story on Thursday, April 2. “Our hearts ache for this innocent young girl and the harm she has suffered.”

She noted, “This is a profound wrong, and we know it grieves the heart of God, who cares deeply for the children and vulnerable. We are lifting her up in prayer, asking for comfort, healing and justice.”

Jessa’s remarks come after Us Weekly confirmed that Joseph, 31, was arrested by the Tontitown Police Department in Arkansas on March 18 after allegedly molesting a 9-year-old girl in 2020.

The alleged victim accused the former 19 Kids and Counting star of sexually abusing her while on a family vacation in Panama City Beach, Florida.

Joseph was charged with lewd and lascivious behavior involving molestation of a victim less than 12 years old and lewd and lascivious behavior conducted by a person 18 years or older.

Two days later, Joseph appeared in court virtually and waived his right to an extradition hearing.

That same day, Joseph’s wife, Kendra Duggar, was arrested and subsequently released on $1,470 bond.

Both Joseph and Kendra, 27, were charged on March 20 with four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor in the second degree and four counts of false imprisonment in the second degree.

A source exclusively told Us at the time that Kendra’s arrest wasn’t related to Joseph’s child molestation case.

“After his charge, they automatically do a home study if minors live there,” the insider said. “Apparently, they had two rooms where the lock of the doorknob was on the outside instead of inside. They arrested her and took her kids for that, saying it’s evidence that she wrongly detains her kids.”

Kendra and Joseph were married in 2017 and share four children: Garrett, 7, Addison, 6, Brooklyn, 5, and Justus, born in spring 2022.

Action television is rife with powerful, larger-than-life characters, and very few of them are able to leave a lasting impression quite like Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) can. The beloved modern action hero is introduced to audiences through the Prime Video series Reacher, an intense action show that focuses on the title character as he travels from town to town, using his sharp instincts and combat skills to take down criminals and uncover conspiracies. Although not many can match up or even surpass the brute-force strength that defines Reacher, they do exist—more than audiences might realize.

Characters like Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) from Netflix’s Marvel series Daredevil, whose blindness rarely hinders him at all, and Xena (Lucy Lawless) from the classic fantasy gem Xena: Warrior Princess, a character whose mythic strength ranks her high on any list of heroes, are just two examples of TV figures who exceed what Reacher brings to the table. Compiled on this list are the action TV heroes who are much stronger than Reacher in various and unexpected ways.

Ah Sahm

‘Warrior’ (2019–2023)

Image via Cinemax

On this list of beings with absolute strength that outshines even the action hero Reacher, Ah Sahm (Andrew Koji) stands as one of the most formidable fighters in modern action television as a whole. The character hails from the underrated action drama Warriors, which is set in 19th-century San Francisco during the Tong Wars, and follows the martial artist as he arrives from China only to immediately become entangled in the brutal power struggles between rival gangs.

Reacher may be a tall wall of pure muscled bulk, but Ah Sahm’s lean frame and crazy martial arts skills can definitely take him down. Very few action heroes can even match the raw combat ability that the slick character wields. Ah Sahm is a relentless beast of blood and brutality when he fights, and has more often than not proven himself one of the strongest fighters to ever grace TV screens. With a high-intensity show like Warriors, Ah Sahm makes for the perfect action hero to stand at its center, marking him as the man who defiantly has an icon such as Reacher beat.

Bosco Albert “B.A.” Baracus

‘The A-Team’ (1983–1987)

Image via NBC

This standout hero is the muscle behind one of television’s most iconic teams. B.A. Baracus (Laurence Tureaud)—better known as Mr. T—is from the classic TV show The A-Team, an action-adventure series that centers around four ex–special forces soldiers who become mercenaries that frequently help ordinary people.

B.A. Baracus is his team’s powerhouse. The man is essentially superhuman and is well-known as a “hard as nails,” loyal to a fault type of action hero. Even with The A-Team‘s famous cartoonish violence, seeing Mr. T walk away from a shootout, enduring rocket blasts, and car crashes, all through narrative convention, still makes for pretty entertaining television. Though Jack Reacher is also a pretty tough guy—especially for an entirely normal man—he is very likely to be almost instantly overwhelmed by Baracus’ unshakeable resilience, strength, and durability.

Xena

‘Xena: Warrior Princess’ (1995–2001)

Image via Universal Television

Xena is not only one of the first and finest female heroes depicted on television, but she is also one of the most powerful in the action TV landscape, surpassing most men with her strength. The fantasy classic, Xena: Warrior Princess, focuses on the reformed warlord herself, as she uses her formidable battle prowess to take on evil and defend the innocent.

There exist very few action heroes as capable as Xena, a woman who wields both immaculate combat ability and leadership. Her strength and experience alone can outclass a great and brutal giant such as Jack Reacher. Despite the age of the beloved fantasy action series, Xena: Warrior Princess, the battle goddess’ legacy remains strong and is still rather unmatched. With a mythic strength able to lift a war chariot and overpower a battering ram, it’s safe to say that Xena is an extremely strong action hero who has Reacher beat by miles.

Billy Butcher

‘The Boys’ (2019–Present)

Image via Prime Video

It’s an easy guess why Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) would be considered stronger than Reacher; the man takes on actual superpowered individuals for a living. Billy stands at the center of the dark superhero series known as The Boys. The show focuses on the gruff character and his team of troubled misfits as they set out to bring down the corrupt heroes of the world—mainly the superhero team known as “The Seven.”

Prior to fully gaining powers himself in Season 4, he was a human of ruthless determination. With sheer intensity and grit, Billy Butcher acts as a relentless force against the superheroes of the world, determined to see his goals through, sometimes no matter who he hurts. The character is the perfect anti-hero sort who audiences often hope survives until the end. The vicious character may have some extremely questionable morals, but because he uses not only his physical strength but also mindful cunning as he takes on various superheroes, he counts as a true action hero who far surpasses even a beloved action star like Reacher.

Buffy Summers

‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ (1997–2003)

Image via The WB

This iconic teenage warrior definitely redefined who and what a strong action hero could be. Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) stars in the epic supernatural fantasy series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, where she learns to juggle normal high school girlhood with being “the Chosen One,” a figure destined to hunt for the things that go bump in the night.

Buffy Summers is far from the average teen. Because she actively fights beasts and ghouls alike, she proves that her strength vastly exceeds Reacher’s. The feisty characters routinely overpower vampires and giant demons using sheer muscle alone. Unlike the iconic giant himself, who often takes on seasoned but entirely normal criminals, Buffy’s adversaries are beings that would tear an ordinary person in two with their bite force alone. Her blatant superhuman strength simply means that she is able to handle much more than Jack Reacher ever could, and with such a constant display of extraordinary power, she stands as a much stronger hero in terms of raw physical strength.

Eleven

‘Stranger Things’ (2016–2025)

Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) thrillingly brings to the realm of action television immense psychic power. The beloved Netflix series, Stranger Things, follows a group of friends in search of their missing buddy, which leads them right to the psychically powerful Eleven, as she attempts to avoid capture from those who wish to take her back to a life trapped within a laboratory.

Eleven stands as one of the most powerful individuals on modern television. Her abilities not only outmatch her enemies but also allow her to dominate situations through sheer force of will, outdoing any feat Jack Reacher could realistically accomplish. From holding off monsters from other dimensions to excellent tracking skills when she is literally worlds away, Eleven may be much smaller than the brute force that is Reacher, but she definitely outclasses many of his human-level feats.

Matt Murdock (Daredevil)

‘Daredevil’ (2015–2018)

Image via Netflix

This character may be a blind lawyer by day, but his skill, discipline, and resilience make him the perfect vigilante by night. Daredevil, a Netflix Marvel series, centers around the iconic character, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), as he navigates the world with heightened senses after losing his sight in a childhood accident. Focusing on what he has gained instead of what he’s lost, Matt becomes a true action hero, protecting Hell’s Kitchen with unmatched precision.

With a blend of sharp instincts and brutal combat, Matt Murdock stands up to evil in ways that Reacher himself could never fathom. The character counts on his heightened reflexes, hearing, and unwavering determination to save the day, no matter the strength of his opponents. In a head-to-head fight, the beloved Marvel hero would definitely give Jack a run for his money, as the two are mostly equal in combat prowess, but Matt’s lightning-quick ability to react before his attacker even strikes, along with his ability to move assuredly in complete darkness, gives him the win any day against the Prime Video’s action hero.

Bruce Wayne

‘Gotham’ (2014–2019)

Image via FOX

Batman may be one of the most skilled human beings to ever take to screens, but what many viewers don’t realize is that long before he acquired his alter ego as the protector of the most troubled city in the DC universe, he had begun forging his physical and mental resilience that would ultimately place him on a higher level above characters like Reacher. In the prequel superhero series Gotham, the show follows a young Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) before he becomes the iconic vigilante hero known as Batman.

Gotham gifts audiences a view into the boy before he becomes the epic man of darkness they know today. The series displays Bruce’s growth that ultimately sets the foundation for a legend spoken about through generations. The character may be a teen with more athletic prowess than brute force, but what makes him truly “stronger” than Reacher is his unmatched combat training and brutal intellect. Reacher easily exceeds the young Bruce Wayne in raw strength, yet the teenage billionaire’s training, gadgets, experience, and technique give him a solid chance for a decisive win against the broad-shouldered tank.

Season 4 of Sullivan’s Crossing is already weathering the loss of Scott Patterson‘s fan-favorite character — but did the show just lose another main cast member?

In a clip posted to the show’s social media on Thursday, April 2, Lola (Amalia Williamson) is seen confiding in Maggie (Morgan Kohan) and Sydney (Lindura Sappong) about potentially leaving the area.

“Maybe losing my internship isn’t such a bad thing after all,” she shared in the sneak peek. “Now there’s nothing stopping me from visiting Jacob in Calgary.”

Lola admitted that the “summer fling” turned into something more, adding, “I didn’t realize how much I’d actually miss him. He invited me to collect samples with him in the Rockies — and I’ve never been outside of Nova Scotia before.”

Related: Why Was Scott Patterson Written Out of ‘Sullivan’s Crossing’? Exit Explained

Sullivan’s Crossing is going through a very big change with Scott Patterson‘s character Sully being written off — but what does the shocking exit mean for the show? Based on the book series by Robyn Carr, Sullivan’s Crossing centers around neurosurgeon Maggie (Morgan Kohan) after she moves back home to rural Nova Scotia to reconnect […]

“We will miss you, Lola,” read the caption for the post, which also included the text, “Is this goodbye?”

Viewers — at least the ones in the U.S. — will have to wait until later this month to get more clarity on Williamson’s future on the show. While some social media users took to the comments to question if Lola would be temporarily absent amid Williamson’s pregnancy, others expressed frustration that they wouldn’t get an immediate answer about the character’s future on the hit series.

Sullivan’s Crossing originally returned March 22 on CTV. After airing in Canada, the show will follow up with April 20, 2026, on The CW and then on Netflix, presumably in the summer once the show wraps up on cable.

Before its premiere, Us Weekly broke the news in March that Patterson, 67, would not be reprising his role as Sully when season 4 returns.

“Season 3 of Sullivan’s Crossing ended with Sully leaving for Ireland, beginning a new chapter in his life. Season 4 picks up the next day, with Sully still overseas,” Sullivan’s Crossing executive producer and showrunner Roma Roth exclusively told Us. “While he isn’t physically present in this season, the character remains an important part of the world with the potential to be included in future seasons should that align with the ongoing creative.”

Patterson clarified it wasn’t his choice to leave Sullivan’s Crossing.

“It’s unfortunate that it is now being implied that they moved on from me/Sully when the fact is the complete opposite, and those who sadly already have spoken out are also fully aware of this fact, and yet chose to say otherwise,” he continued. “I was not intending to make any statement but the fans of the books and the show deserve to know the truth as I have always been respectful of those who support this industry by watching and loving these characters we are so dang lucky and blessed to portray and bring to life.”

Seasons 1 through 3 of Sullivan’s Crossing are currently streaming on Netflix. Season 4 premieres on The CW April 20 at 8 p.m. ET

Based on the bestselling book by Andy Weir, the Ryan Gosling-led sci-fi flick Project Hail Mary has been the dominant force on the box office charts for two weekends in a row. Boasting over $300 million in global revenue despite still being in the early stages of its theatrical run, Project Hail Mary is already the year’s biggest box office winner. However, another sci-fi film is about to challenge for the throne as The Super Mario Galaxy Movie makes its long-awaited theatrical debut this weekend. If neither is to your taste or you’d just rather stay at home, here’s a look at three movies you should stream this weekend on Netflix.

1

‘American Gangster’ (2007)

Rotten Tomatoes: 81% | IMDb: 7.8/10

As the first days of April arrive, this weekend brings with it a smorgasbord of new and returning titles to the Netflix catalog. Among them is American Gangster, a 2007 docudrama starring Denzel Washington as the titular gangster, Frank Lucas. As he rises through the ranks of the 1960s drug trade, Lucas quickly comes under the radar of Newark Detective Richie Roberts (Russell Crowe).

A gangster biopic as fascinating as it is gripping, Washington and Crowe are at their very best in this gem of a thriller. Directed and produced by Ridley Scott and written by Steven Zaillian, the film earned a pair of Academy Award nominations, including a nomination for Ruby Dee in the Best Supporting Actress category. The film also features performances from Cuba Gooding Jr., Josh Brolin, and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

2

‘Mission: Impossible’ (1996)

Rotten Tomatoes: 67% | IMDb: 7.2/10

If you’re looking for tense thrills this weekend, then you simply can’t go wrong with the movie that kicked off one of the best modern franchises. Released in 1996, Mission: Impossible was a global audience’s introduction to Tom Cruise‘s Ethan Hunt, as, whilst under suspicion of disloyalty, he fights to clear his name by discovering who the real traitor is.

A pulse-racing classic that has only got better with age, Mission: Impossible might not be the best in the franchise, but as the first, it deserves even more credit. Directed by Brian De Palma, the movie is best known for Cruise’s lead performance, but it also features a stellar ensemble, including Jon Voight as Jim Phelps, Emmanuelle Béart as Claire Phelps, Jean Reno as Franz Krieger, Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, Kristin Scott Thomas as Sarah Davies, Vanessa Redgrave as Max, and Henry Czerny as Eugene Kittridge.

3

‘Atonement’ (2007)

Rotten Tomatoes: 83% | IMDb: 7.8/10

Another new arrival to the Netflix catalog at the start of this month,Joe Wright‘s visuallystunningAtonement, adapted from Ian McEwan‘s 2001 novel, follows a 13-year-old girl’s (Saoirse Ronan) false accusation of her older sister’s lover and the many lives that are altered forever as a consequence.

One of the finest period dramas you can find on Netflix right now, Atonement is as narratively indulgent as it is a treat for the eyes. Featuring many great performances from some of the finest British actors, it is a young Ronan who steals the show in a turn that would earn her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor, making her the seventh youngest ever to do so.
