The 2027 Met Gala is already facing controversy after organizers announced an exhibition honoring John Galliano, the celebrated but polarizing designer whose career was derailed by antisemitic remarks in 2011. The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Vogue revealed Friday that Galliano will become the subject of “John Galliano: Horizon,” an exhibition examining his influential career in fashion. However, organizers are reportedly preparing for resistance over the decision, with Anna Wintour, Galliano and Costume Institute curator Andrew Bolton meeting privately with prominent Jewish leaders ahead of the event.

According to The New York Times, Wintour has met with New York City’s “influential rabbis and Jewish leaders” to “get their thoughts on the potential issues with next year’s planned fashion extravaganza.” Galliano and Bolton also reportedly participated in meetings intended to address concerns and seek the leaders’ “blessing” before the exhibition opens.
The meetings reflect the challenge facing organizers as they celebrate Galliano’s impact on fashion while still confronting the conduct that cost him his position at Dior.
Bolton, who has reportedly considered organizing a Galliano exhibition since 2010, acknowledged the responsibility of presenting both sides of the designer’s legacy. He said organizers must find a way to “hold artistic achievement and ethical accountability together without allowing one to erase the other.”

Galliano was serving as Dior’s creative director when his career unraveled in 2011 following an incident at a Paris bar. The designer was convicted of a hate crime after directing antisemitic insults at patrons and declaring, “I love Hitler” while intoxicated.
Galliano was ordered to pay court costs and a fine, while Dior fired him following the incident. The designer subsequently apologized and claimed that he could not remember what had happened because he was struggling with alcoholism and drug addiction.
Galliano withdrew from the fashion industry and entered rehabilitation before returning in 2014 as the creative director of Maison Margiela. The proposed Met exhibition will therefore arrive more than 15 years after the incident that transformed Galliano from one of fashion’s most powerful figures into one of its most divisive.
Jewish Leaders Address Galliano’s Attempt At Redemption
Some of the leaders who met with Galliano and the exhibition’s organizers believe his efforts since the scandal warrant consideration. Rabbi Rick Jacobs, president of the Union for Reform Judaism in North America, said he sensed Galliano’s “sincerity” during their conversation. “He was open. He looked right at us and spoke in a clear way, not as if he had memorized talking points,” Jacobs told the Times.
Jacobs also acknowledged that organizers appeared aware of the potential backlash surrounding the exhibition. “The fear clearly was the show could be met with a lot of resistance, not just skepticism, but a feeling of it’s wrong,” he continued.

Jonathan Greenblatt, chief executive of the Anti-Defamation League, similarly told the newspaper that he believes Galliano “has genuinely worked through the issues that led to his antisemitic outburst years ago in Paris.”
“We have long since accepted his apology,” Greenblatt added. “His efforts to repair the damage his words caused and to learn from that incident should be applauded.”
Rabbi Urges Met To Confront Galliano’s Past
Not every leader involved believes the exhibition should focus solely on Galliano’s creative achievements and personal rehabilitation. Rabbi Joshua Davidson, who leads Temple Emanu-El near the Metropolitan Museum of Art, encouraged organizers to use the event to educate visitors about antisemitism and its consequences.
“What we had said to them is it would be powerful, poignant and productive if they were able to leverage it as an opportunity to teach about the reality of antisemitism, and somehow wrap into the exhibition the importance of fighting back and the dangers of antisemitism in this moment,” Davidson told the newspaper.
Davidson also predicted that some members of the Jewish community would continue to view the decision as “problematic,” regardless of how the Met presents Galliano’s history. “People may very likely be upset by it. I can understand those feelings,” he said.

Anna Wintour Defends The Controversial Fashion Tribute

Despite the criticism, Wintour has firmly defended the decision to place Galliano at the center of an exhibition of this magnitude. In a text to the Times, the Vogue executive said Galliano’s “career isn’t defined by a single moment,” adding that “there is no one more deserving of an exhibition of this scale.”
Galliano played a major role in Dior’s evolution into a global luxury powerhouse and created some of the fashion house’s most recognizable designs, including the Dior Saddle Bag. His work continues to appear on high-profile red carpets, with stars such as Zendaya, Kim Kardashian, Amal Clooney and Tyla wearing vintage Galliano creations.
The exhibition will also place him in exceptionally rare company. Galliano is set to become only the third living designer, following Yves Saint Laurent and Rei Kawakubo, to receive a solo exhibition at the Met.
That doesn’t hold true for streaming services, though. On the contrary, Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video and other platforms are about to add some of their highest-profile content of 2026.
On Netflix, fan-favorite shows like My Life with the Walter Boys, Outer Banks, Leanne and Tires are returning for brand-new seasons.

Matt Damon is currently in South Korea to promote “The Odyssey,” but still made time for some fun, attending a local baseball game with his family and enthusiastically cheering from the stands.
He wasn’t alone in immersing himself in Korean culture, as famed director Christopher Nolan also went sightseeing before getting down to business on the film’s promotional tour.
Damon’s love for sports is well documented, and the actor recently opened up about his admiration for Argentinian football icon Lionel Messi.
Matt Damon surprised South Korean baseball fans as he attended Saturday’s matchup between the Kiwoom Heroes and SSG Landers at Gocheok Sky Dome.

The 55-year-old actor arrived in the country on August 1 via a chartered flight through Gimpo International Airport’s private terminal.
Director Christopher Nolan, producer Emma Thomas, and co-star Charlize Theron also made the trip as they kicked off promotions for the blockbuster film “The Odyssey.”
Before beginning the official press tour, Damon made an unannounced trip to the stadium with his wife and daughters, where he was seen enthusiastically cheering from the stands while wearing a Kiwoom Heroes vest.
At one point, the broadcaster introduced him as his image appeared on the stadium’s big screen, but Damon appeared so engrossed in the game that he seemed unaware of the attention.

“He came to Korea to promote ‘Odyssey.’ He is originally famous for loving baseball,” the commentator said, per Star News Korea.
Damon’s trip marks his first visit to South Korea in a decade after promoting “Jason Bourne” in 2016.
Alongside the rest of the cast and crew, he attended a press conference for the film on Monday, August 3, where he reflected on his return, his experience at the baseball game, and his affection for the country.
“I came to Korea again after 10 years. I am so happy to be back in Korea. When we talked about the ‘Odyssey’ tour and where we wanted to go, I expressed how much I wanted to come to Korea, and I am glad to be here today,” he said during the event, held in the Grand Ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel in Gwanghwamun, Jongno-gu, Seoul.
During the press conference, the “Good Will Hunting” star explained that his trip to the baseball game stemmed from a personal connection with Kiwoom Heroes slugger Matt Davidson, whom he knows through a mutual friend who works as a baseball agent.
“I have a friend who is a baseball agent, and one of the players he represents plays for the Kiwoom Heroes,” Damon said, per Star News Korea. “When I arrived at the airport, I was told I could watch the game, so I went. I had heard that Korean baseball is great, so I really wanted to see it, and it was so much fun.”

He also said one of the most “fascinating” aspects of the experience was the atmosphere created by South Korean fans, noting that each team’s supporters cheered separately, unlike what he is accustomed to in the United States.
“Although it’s the same sport, the way people cheer in Korea is different, which I found interesting and enjoyable,” he said, adding that he also spent time exploring the country and thought it was “great.”
Meanwhile, Nolan, who is visiting South Korea for the first time, also took time to explore Ikseon-dong, a neighborhood known for its traditional hanok houses. Reports say he sampled the area’s famous salt bread and stopped by a popular café.
Matt Damon Brings His Passion For Sports To ‘The Odyssey’ Tour
Damon’s passion for sports appears to be a recurring theme throughout his promotional tour for “The Odyssey.”
At the height of last month’s World Cup, he was in Miami promoting the film when he attended the June 27 match between Colombia and Portugal alongside Colombian actor John Leguizamo.

Shortly before kickoff, Damon stopped for an interview with Telemundo and was asked whether his family owned a Lionel Messi jersey or flag, given that his wife, Luciana Barroso, is Argentinian.
“Of course. He’s more important than I am,” Damon joked, implying just how much his family admires the Inter Miami superstar. “At my house, Messi is more important than me. Argentina is my team.”
He still made sure to show support for Leguizamo’s home country, adding: “Argentina is my team, but today it’s Colombia because my friend here is Colombian.”
‘The Odyssey’ Stars Keep Busy During Packed South Korea Tour
Meanwhile, Damon and the rest of “The Odyssey” team are on a packed four-night, five-day visit to South Korea ahead of the film’s August 5 release.
Following Monday’s press conference, the cast is scheduled to attend a red carpet meet-and-greet with fans at Yeongdeungpo Times Square on Tuesday, August 4.

That same day, they’ll appear on tvN’s “You Quiz on the Block,” which has previously hosted Hollywood heavyweights such as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, according to The Korea Times.
The group is also set to appear on programs including “Lee Dong-jin’s Phaeacia,” “Civilization Express,” and SBS’s “News Hunters,” wrapping up an extensive promotional schedule.
In “The Odyssey,” Damon stars as Odysseus, the legendary Greek hero who embarks on a perilous journey home to reunite with his wife, Penelope, after the Trojan War. His voyage, however, is filled with mythical obstacles and dangerous encounters that prolong his return.
Beyond the Gates spoilers for August 3-7, 2026 include Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett) having what little Hayley Lawson (Marquita Goings) hopes is his final collapse before he is gone for good. She’s been waiting for this moment.
Also, Eva Thomas Richardson (Ambyr Michelle) gets absolutely terrible news and we’ll see if it is a medical thing that might put her life at risk. Let’s get into what is ahead the week of August 3rd through the 7th. And we’re going to see Leslie Thomas (Trisha Mann-Grant) being nasty to Nicole Dupree Richardson (Daphnee Duplaix) out in public yet again.

Plus, Andre Richardson‘s (Sean Freeman) stalker ups her game and he really starts to worry. Let’s dive right into it. Monday, August 3rd is season 2, episode 138 of Beyond the Gates, and Bill confides in an unlikely ally. There are lots of unlikely allies since most people don’t like Bill.
It may be Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) because he and Bill had a heartfelt chat recently. The most unlikely would be Andre, since they always bicker. And Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie) has had chats with Bill recently, so maybe it’s her. But we know that both Vernon and Anita don’t want Bill back in the family.

However, they’re still concerned about him. Someone is spying on Randy Parker (Maurice P. Kerry) this week. That could be bad since he meets with Hayley regularly. And Hayley surprises Bill’s daughters at the beginning of the week. Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne (Arielle Prepetit) opens her door and says, “Speak of the devil and she shall appear.”
Hayley sweeps into her house and Chelsea Hamilton (RhonniRose Mantilla) asks Hayley, “What are you doing here?” It looks like Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley) and Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli) both have suspicions about Hayley and they’re going to compare notes with Anita with Dani telling her mom she thinks Hayley is cheating on Bill.
They assume Randy is Hayley’s sidepiece, but he’s really her cousin. Anita puts off her massage to listen to what they have to say. Mona Wilson (Karan Kendrick) hustles Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom) next week and wants to play a hand of cards with the wager being something precious. Church lady behavior may surprise Joey, but I think we all know there’s no way he’s going to let Randy walk away. Mona is with Randy and has her hand on his, but he may not like what she’s trying to pull with Joey because Randy knows his life is literally on the line.
BTG Spoilers: Hayley’s Poisoning Plot Unravels
Tuesday, August 4th on Beyond the Gates is season 2, episode 139. Hayley is forced to pivot and change her plans when Bill gets new health info. Remember, Hayley wanted them to go to a tropical location so she could kill him away from prying eyes and out of the DMV where there will be less scrutiny. And she now has to change her plans. Meanwhile, Naomi is busy snooping. And Chelsea is up at Bill’s law office asking questions of Caroline, who is one of Hayley’s real friends, rare friends.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Carlton Jealous of Kial & Nicole
And someone wants assistance as well, but he may not want to get involved because poking into your boss’s marriage is never a good idea. Also, Nicole gets a surprise from Kial. And this week, Carlton is in Nicole’s office telling her that she can rest in his arms, but she asked Carlton for a rain check.
Remember, Kial is basically living at her place right now. So, Carlton has no choice but to agree. And then he’s angry and jealous, staring at Nicole leaving with Kial as they are cuddling by the elevator, obviously leaving together. Wednesday, August 5th is season 2, episode 140 of Beyond the Gates, and Leslie tries to embarrass Nicole in front of Carlton.
They’re at the Fairmont Crest Country Club, and Leslie sees Nicole chatting with Carlton and makes a cutting remark. Her dialogue kills me. And then, of course, we know that Leslie’s angry and lashing out because Ted Richardson (Keith D. Robinson) chose Shanice Johnson (Ernestine Johnson) and loves her. Tyrell Richardson (Jaden Lucas Miller) plan goes sideways and Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) chews out Tyrell.
Martin is telling him, “You are not half-assing your way through college.” And he explodes that he’s tired of listening to what everybody wants him to do. He says he’s 18. And then he storms off saying, “My bad.” Anita gives one of her daughters a deadline. And this may be about Dani and Bill. Also this week, Anita is frustrated sitting at the piano and she’s banging on it as Vernon watches her with concern.

Speaking of the patriarch, he meets with Izaiah Hawthorne (David Lami Friebe) this week. They have something in common, remember? And I’m sure Vernon is going to ask about Eva. And speaking of her, Izaiah’s girlfriend gets terrible news and it may be about Eva’s liver transplant. Is her body rejecting it? Are we going to see complications? It doesn’t look good.
BTG Spoilers: Stalkers and Secrets Surface
Thursday, August 6 on Beyond the Gates. It’s season 2, episode 141, and we’ve got Dani shaking Randy, and she may confront him with questions about Hayley since she thinks they are lovers. Randy let Joey think that, too. So, I wonder if Randy will stick with that because helping her murder her husband is a much worse truth. Bill’s arguing with Chelsea about Hayley towards the end of the week. Looks like the walls are closing in on Hayley.
Also, Leslie argues with Ted about Eva. This may be about their daughter’s terrible news. Andre’s stalker from the past makes her presence known. She sent Champagne and then was spying on him and Dani. So, it sounds like something more is coming from Andre’s unwelcome blast from his past. Nicole and Carlton talk and they reach an understanding. We know he wants more than Nicole wants to give him, and Kial seems to be her favorite right now.
Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Bill Hamilton – Eva Thomas Richardson
Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Caroline Helps Bill
Then on Friday, August 7th’s episode of Beyond the Gates, it’s season 2, episode 142, and Hayley’s plans and plotting all pay off. It looks like Bill collapses again at the office after Hayley’s been giving him a stronger dose of poison, making him exercise, doing everything she can to end this scheme once and for all with her getting the pile of cash. But Caroline is there for Bill.
So, it looks like he collapses there at the law office and Caroline’s going to get Bill the help that he needs. And with him heading to the hospital again, maybe the doctor will finally run the right test that detects the toxin Hayley has been pumping into Bill. And I wonder if Hayley realizes that she’s about to be busted and runs off.

I’m also wondering if she’s going to head to Genoa City to target Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) because they vibed during the crossover. Andre needs help from Bradley ‘Smitty’ Smith (Mike Manning). Looks like Andre wants Smitty to put his investigation skills to work to find the stalker. Clearly, Andre is hiding something from his past, and this could push Dani back towards Bill while he is struggling with this health crisis.
BTG Spoilers: Eva May be in Real Trouble
Ted comforts one of his daughters who’s freaking out, and it could be about Kat, but it sounds more like it’s about Eva and her terrible news, which may be health related. We saw hints that she wasn’t feeling well last week, but she kept denying it. So, maybe her body is rejecting that chunk of her sister’s liver. Someone is sticking around the DMV for a while.
And Joey’s sister Heather Armstrong (Ashley Jones) gets closer to Dani and Vanessa. And I wonder if she is going to be using Vanessa as her realtor to find a place to stay. Obviously, Joey loves his sister, but he also knows she’s dangerous. And I don’t think he’s going to want her near Vanessa. Nicole wants to change things up with Kial and he is stunned. So, I wonder if Nicole’s ready to commit to seeing just one man.
Also, some tidbits for the rest of the month. We’re going to see Andre lured out by his stalker, someone dumping someone, and Vernon confronts Bill about Dani. We have Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) planning a big surprise for Naomi with some help from Ashley Morgan (Jen Jacob) and Grayson Perez (Jordie Vilasuso). Eva shares a difficult truth with Izaiah, and this may relate to her very bad news that she got.
Dave Bautista may soon be stepping into one of gaming’s most iconic roles.
According to both Deadline and Variety, Bautista is currently in talks to play Kratos in Amazon Prime Video’s live-action God of War series following the departure of Ryan Hurst, who exited the project after suffering a torn bicep while filming. The injury reportedly would have delayed production until 2027, leading Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television to recast the role so filming can resume this fall.
While no deal has been finalized, Bautista has emerged as the leading choice to portray the Ghost of Sparta.
The casting would reunite Bautista with Amazon MGM Studios, where he has already starred in The Wrecking Crew, My Spy, and My Spy: The Eternal City. He is also set to appear in Road House 2 and Amazon’s upcoming remake of Highlander.

God of War [credit: Santa Monica Studio]
Amazon’s adaptation of God of War has already received a two-season order and will adapt the Norse-era games, following Kratos and his son, Atreus, as they journey across the Nine Realms to fulfill the final wish of Kratos’ late wife, Faye. The series is being developed by showrunner Ronald D. Moore, with Frederick E.O. Toye directing the first two episodes.
Bautista has long been one of the most popular actors suggested for the role by fans thanks to his imposing physical presence and dramatic acting career. If negotiations are successful, he’ll officially take over one of the most demanding roles in video game adaptations.
For now, Amazon has not publicly commented on the reported negotiations, and Bautista’s casting has yet to be officially confirmed.
The latest installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, delivered the second-biggest global box office debut in history. The movie was initially expected to gross under $600 million in its worldwide opening, but these projections picked up in the days leading up to its release. The final figure came to around $930 million, second in the all-time rankings behind fellow MCU blockbuster Avengers: Endgame, which opened with $1.2 billion worldwide in 2019. With this massive haul, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has already beaten the lifetime gross of Tom Holland‘s debut adventure as the friendly neighborhood superhero, Spider-Man: Homecoming. Needless to say, several blockbuster superhero movies, including rival DC titles, were steamrolled by Spider-Man: Brand New Day this past weekend.
Also featuring Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, and Sadie Sink, Spider-Man: Brand New Day grossed $355 million domestically in its first weekend, falling marginally short of Avengers: Endgame‘s opening-weekend record of $357 million. That movie, directed by the Russo Brothers, also featured Holland’s Spider-Man in a prominent supporting role. It ended up grossing more than $2.7 billion worldwide, and for a while, was the highest-grossing hit in global box office history. It paved the way for Spider-Man: No Way Home, which grossed $1.9 billion worldwide in 2021 without a China release, and brought Holland and director Jon Watts‘ trilogy of Spidey movies to a resounding end. Spider-Man: Brand New Day, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, is being presented as the start of a new trilogy.

Here’s How Much ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Has Grossed at the Box Office
Produced on a reported budget of $225 million, the movie opened to excellent reviews. It now holds a “Certified Fresh” 90% critics’ score and a “Verified Hot” 98% audience score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Spinning a web of spectacular set pieces together with mature emotional stakes and Tom Holland’s soulful performance, Brand New Day is a promising reset that portends Spidey will remain sticky on the big screen for years to come.”
Kevin Costner is making headlines again after a surprising on-set story involving a Hollywood legend resurfaced.
Long before becoming the face of “Yellowstone,” the actor reportedly found himself being put in his place after displaying what was described as a “big ego” while working alongside one of the industry’s most respected icons.
For Kevin Costner, the road to stardom began in the late 1980s with hit films such as “The Untouchables,” “Bull Durham,” and “Field of Dreams,” before reaching a new generation of viewers as John Dutton on “Yellowstone” when the series premiered in 2018.
Costner was reportedly riding one of the biggest highs of his career when an unexpected on-set moment reminded him that even Hollywood’s hottest stars could be humbled. Fresh off his Oscar triumph for “Dances With Wolves,” the actor was said to have developed a confidence that caught the attention of one legendary co-star.
Years later, Scott Eastwood recalled that his father, Clint Eastwood, wasn’t impressed by what he described as Costner’s growing ego while they filmed the 1993 thriller “A Perfect World.” According to Scott, the tension had nothing to do with cameras rolling and everything to do with what happened before they ever stepped onto the set.
Instead of confronting Costner directly, Clint allegedly made one quiet decision that instantly changed the atmosphere on set and, according to Scott, ensured the message was received loud and clear.
The Trailer Standoff That Ended With An Unexpected Twist
Scott claimed the trouble started when Costner allegedly refused to leave his trailer while the cast and crew were waiting to begin filming. Knowing his father’s strict approach to filmmaking, he said there was little chance the delay would be tolerated.
Rather than waiting around, Clint reportedly instructed the crew to send Costner home and rewrote the day’s scene without him, according to The Daily Mail. Scott recalled that when the actor questioned the decision, he was informed that he was no longer needed for the scene.
The lesson, Scott suggested, landed immediately. By the following day, Costner was reportedly back on set, ready to work, in what has since become one of the more memorable behind-the-scenes stories from the Oscar winner’s early rise to superstardom.

Kevin Costner Reflected On The Faith That Started His Acting Journey
Long before he became one of Hollywood’s biggest leading men, Costner credited his childhood faith with introducing him to performing. While promoting his ABC special, “Kevin Costner Presents: The First Christmas,” the actor revealed that his earliest experience in front of an audience came through his church rather than a movie set.
Costner explained that he grew up attending church and made his “first performance” at just four years old during a Christmas nativity play, where he delivered a single line: “Hark.”
Reflecting on the experience, he said those early moments helped shape his appreciation for storytelling, adding that revisiting the story of Christ’s birth gave him a deeper perspective on both faith and performance. The Blast reported how the actor traced his passion for acting back to those formative church experiences.
Years later, that fascination with storytelling evolved into one of Hollywood’s most enduring careers, with Costner starring in films like “The Untouchables,” “Field of Dreams,” and “Dances With Wolves” before introducing himself to a new generation as John Dutton in “Yellowstone.”
The Oscar winner has been one of Hollywood’s most familiar faces, but recent reports have indicated the career that made him a box office dynamo is up for a new fight. The actor, who had a reign over the industry in those days, is now allegedly trying to take the momentum back.
As reported by The Blast, insiders claimed the actor’s career had entered what they described as a “polite decline mode.” They alleged that studios had become more cautious following the highly publicized “Yellowstone” exit, the disappointing performance of the “Horizon” films, and a string of legal disputes.

The report also claimed the veteran actor viewed 2026 as a potential “redemption year.” Despite the speculation, the veteran star has reportedly remained focused on landing new projects and rebuilding momentum.
Kevin Costner Still Feels The Impact Of His Painful Divorce
While Costner has reportedly found happiness with Kelly Noonan Gores, sources claim the Oscar winner is in no hurry to rush into another marriage. Instead, the relationship has remained intentionally low-key, with the pair reportedly enjoying quiet dinners, beach walks, and time together away from Hollywood’s spotlight.
The actor has remained cautious since describing his divorce as “a crushing moment.” An earlier report by The Blast noted that Costner admitted the split left him deeply shaken, even as he emphasized that his children gave him the strength to keep moving forward.
Reports have also suggested the veteran star was hurt by Baumgartner’s marriage to former family financier Josh Connor, even as those close to him insist he is trying to move forward.
Although the last few years have brought professional setbacks, public scrutiny, and personal heartbreak, Costner continues to look ahead with a new relationship and hopes for a fresh chapter.

After everything the Hollywood veteran has endured, could Kevin Costner finally be on the path to the comeback both on and off the screen that many believe is still within reach?
Prime Video doesn’t have quite as many originals as other streamers, focusing heavily on its library of shows and movies from linear networks, including the classics. But the streamer does have an impressive line of originals, and action shows are arguably where Prime Video excels. You’ll find some of the best action shows of the last few years available to stream there, all but one with multiple seasons under their belts, some with more to come.
From compelling detective protagonists with special skills, to villainous superheroes, undead ghouls, and even more recently, a pair of women on the run, Prime Video has an eclectic mix of shows that, upon further inspection, are downright masterpieces.

‘Cross’ (2024–Present)
Aldis Hodge as Alex Cross and Alona Tal as Kayla Craig walking with flashlights and their guns out in CrossImage via Prime Video
While you might know of Alex Cross from Morgan Freeman‘s portrayal of the James Patterson character in movies, maybe even Tyler Perry, Aldis Hodge and this series’ interpretation is arguably the best. Hodge captures the essence and look of the character in Cross, a talented detective and forensic psychologist whose reputation precedes him.
Both seasons so far of the crime thriller are heavy on the action as Cross chases down serial killers; the plots are split between the mental game he plays with them and a physical chase. The stories are compelling, with Season 2 upping the ante by introducing moral ambiguity to the plot thanks to a somewhat sympathetic killer. You can’t look away and will find it tough not to binge each eight-episode season in a single sitting.

‘The Boys’ (2019–2026)
Queen Maeve and Homelander facing each other in ‘The Boys’Image via Prime Video
Equal parts action, comedy, political comedy, satire, gore, and profanity, The Boys really does throw in everything but the kitchen sink. The satirical superhero series depicts people with special abilities called Supes. They should be heroes, but most of them are spineless, arrogant, narcissistic people who have let power get to their heads. Mortal human Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) has a bone to pick with their leader Homelander (Antony Starr). So, he forms a group of people to take him down and put an end to all Supes. But it won’t be easy considering the tremendous physical and mental power they possess.
The Boys is a superhero show that’s definitely not for kids. It’s stomach-turning at times, with foul language and graphically violent scenes making up the majority of every episode. But beneath the surface, it’s also a parody of real-life politics. That reality becomes more and more obvious as the seasons progress. Having come to an end with its fifth and final season this year, The Boys is a show you will either love or hate: there’s no in-between.
Advertisement
‘Gen V’ (2023–2025)
Jaz Sinclair as Marie Moreau with her right arm and hand stretched out in front of her in Gen V Season 2.Image via Prime Video
A spin-off of The Boys that exists in the same universe and at the same time, fans were devastated when Gen V was prematurely cancelled after two seasons. That’s especially with so much potential to continue the story following the ending of The Boys. Nonetheless, the two seasons, which tell a story intertwined with the last few seasons of The Boys, are worth watching.
Set in a school for young adult superheroes where they hone their unique skills, a group discovers a dark secret lurking in the basement. Horrified by what they learn, realizing the school isn’t what it seems, they fight back. Just as gory, profane, and graphic as The Boys, Gen V adds a coming-of-age spin to it with less refined, more naïve Supes who are learning to harness their powers while also discovering who they are outside of them.

‘Reacher’ (2022–Present)
Jack Reacher crouches by a gravestone in a suit, scanning the area during a tense scene at a funeral in ReacherImage via Prime Video
Alan Ritchson captures the look and wooden persona of the title character from the Lee Child novel series to a tee. Reacher centers around his character, a highly intelligent, physically strong, and combat-skilled former military officer who now roams the U.S. as a hobo. When he gets caught up in a case in a small town, and discovers his estranged brother has been murdered, Reacher goes on the warpath.
All it takes is 10 minutes to know that Reacher will be a masterpiece. It has a procedural feel with intense action and exciting fight scenes. The character is almost cartoonish, the show even corny at times. But that’s precisely what makes it such a guilty pleasure watch and has drawn viewers to the show in droves. Reacher returns for its fourth season in August 2026 and has already been renewed for a fifth. The show is so good, there’s even a spin-off called Neagleycoming in September 2026, based on Reacher’s trusted ally of the same name, played by Maria Sten.

Your Partner Has Been Assigned Your Perfect Partner Is…
Your answers have pointed to one action hero above all others. This is the person built to have your back — for better or considerably, spectacularly worse.
Rambo
Advertisement
Your partner doesn’t talk much, doesn’t need to, and will have assessed every threat in your immediate environment before you’ve finished your first sentence. John Rambo is not a man of plans or politics — he is a force of nature shaped by survival, loyalty, and a capacity for endurance that goes beyond anything training can produce. He will not leave you behind. He has never left anyone behind who deserved to come home. What you get with Rambo is the most capable, most quietly ferocious partner imaginable — one who has been through things that would have broken anyone else, and who chose to keep going anyway. You’ll never need to ask if he has your back. You’ll just know.
James Bond
Your partner will arrive perfectly dressed, perfectly briefed, and with a cover story so convincing it’ll take you a moment to remember what’s actually true. James Bond is the most professionally dangerous person in any room he enters — and the most disarmingly charming, which is the point. He operates in a world of layers, where nothing is what it appears and every advantage is used without apology. You’ll never be bored. You’ll occasionally be furious. But when it matters — when the mission is genuinely on the line and the margin for error has collapsed to nothing — Bond is exactly the partner you want. He has survived things that have no business being survivable. He does it with style. That is not nothing.
Advertisement
Indiana Jones
Your partner will know the history, the language, the cultural context, and exactly why the thing everyone else is ignoring is actually the most important thing in the room. Indiana Jones is brilliant, reckless, and occasionally impossible — but he is also one of the most resourceful, most genuinely knowledgeable partners you could find yourself beside. He approaches every situation with a scholar’s eye and a brawler’s instinct, which is an unusual combination and a remarkably effective one. He hates snakes and gets personally attached to objects of historical significance, both of which will slow you down at least once. It doesn’t matter. What Indy brings is irreplaceable — and the adventures you’ll have together will be the kind people write books about. Assuming you survive them.
Advertisement
John McClane
Your partner was not supposed to be here. He does not have the right equipment, the right information, or anything approaching the right odds. He has a sarcastic remark and an absolute refusal to accept that the situation is as bad as it looks. John McClane is the greatest accidental hero in the history of action cinema — a man whose superpower is stubbornness, whose contingency plan is improvisation, and whose capacity to absorb punishment and keep moving would be alarming if it weren’t so useful. He will complain the entire time. He will make it significantly more chaotic than it needed to be. And he will absolutely, unconditionally, without question come through when it counts. Yippee-ki-yay.
Ethan Hunt
Advertisement
Your partner has already run seventeen scenarios by the time you’ve finished reading the briefing, and the plan he’s settled on involves at least two things that should be physically impossible. Ethan Hunt operates at the absolute edge of human capability — technically, physically, and intellectually — and he brings the same relentless precision to protecting his partners that he brings to dismantling organisations that shouldn’t exist. He is not easy to know and he will never fully tell you everything. But he will carry the weight of the mission so completely, so absolutely, that your job is simply to trust him — and the remarkable thing is that trusting him always turns out to be the right call. The mission will be impossible. He will complete it anyway.

‘Fallout’ (2024–Present)
Ella Purnell and Walton Goggins look at each other while walking on a desert road in Fallout Season 2, Episode 4Image via Prime Video
Combining humor with intense violence in a compelling post-apocalyptic story, Fallout is arguably one of Prime Video’s best shows overall. Based on the popular role-playing video game franchise, the stories are brought to life on the small screen with incredible visuals showcasing both the elaborate underground bunkers where survivors reside and the dangerous wasteland above.

From creepy ghouls who roam the earth to humans in Power Armor fighting like massive robots, every character has their own backstory and mission. You’ll love the unlikely duo of the innocent and naïve Lucy (Ella Purnell) and the hardened and revenge-seeking bounty hunter The Ghoul (Walton Goggins). The story gets better and better as the narrative and settings in Fallout progress through its first two seasons. Gearing up for a third season that will see yet another location shift, Fallout will keep you invested as a thrilling post-apocalyptic show, even if you don’t know anything about the video games. Those who are familiar, however, will recognize how the scenes, settings, and characters are so true to the original story.

Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham are an unlikely pairing in this action-adventure comedy series that has become an instant hit for the streamer. Debbie (Spencer) is the wife of a politician in Ride or Die while Judith (Waddingham) is her best friend, who also happens to be an elite assassin. When they encounter a fierce enemy, the dynamic duo go on the run and hilarity and loads of action ensues.

Collider reviewer Meredith Loftus praises the chemistry between the two leads, appreciating the theme of friendship beneath the heavy action surface. While she admits that the series has too many subplots that detract from the core premise, she also calls it an “exhilarating ride with plenty of action thrills.” This show may just be this generation’s Thelma & Louise.
‘Jack Ryan’ (2018–2023)

Some might have questioned John Krasinski‘s ability to carry the weight of such a huge story with an action hero at the center. But it accomplishes this in spades in Jack Ryan, also known as Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. He plays the character that has been portrayed by many actors in other projects, from Alec Baldwin to Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck. The CIA analyst works a boring desk job until he is thrust into the dangerous world of terrorist threats and political warfare.

Jack Ryan, one of Prime Video’s most known shows, streamed for four seasons and was followed up by the movie Jack Ryan: Ghost War. Every season sees Jack facing new dangers in a new setting, and the thrills are intensified each time. Earning high praise across the board for every season, Jack Ryan is a must-watch for action show fans who want a series that feels like a movie.
‘Invincible’ (2021–Present)
The voice cast of Invincible reads like a who’s who of top actors from this generation, as well as a repeat cast list of memorable actors from The Walking Dead. That’s because it’s created by Robert Kirkman, who created that series. Invincible serves up a superhero story in adult animated form that’s vulgar, graphically violent, and not the kind of show you want young kids to watch.
Based on the comic book series of the same name, the story in the most perfect action show centers around Omni-Man (J. K. Simmons), the most powerful superhero on Earth, and his son Mark (Steven Yeun), who is coming-of-age and trying to balance everyday teen challenges with his own powers and duties as the son of a well-respected superhero. It’s all about saving the world, fighting bad guys, and dealing with the emotional challenges of life as well as the physical sense of duty. You’ll love placing all the voices and seeing the massive list of guest characters along with the fantastic animation that feels at times like you’re not watching an animated show at all. Already renewed for a fifth and sixth season, Invincible will no doubt go down as one of the most influential adult animated shows of all time.

‘Spider-Noir’ (2026)

Commissioned as a joint production between Prime Video and MGM+. Spider-Noir stars Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly, a private investigator also known as The Spider. He used to be the only superhero in New York City in the 1930s, but he has long since hung up his suit. That is, until a case comes his way that he can’t help but investigate, and Reilly needs the help of his alter-ego The Spider to do it.
Marking Cage’s first lead TV role following his amazing film career, he hits all the right notes in the adventure superhero noir show. Uniquely, you can watch it in either black and white or color, each providing a different viewing experience. Collider reviewer Aidan Kelley calls Spider-Noir “fun” and “pulpy,” highlighting the performances from the talented supporting cast as well as Cage. If you want a delightful throwback superhero show, Spider-Noir does not disappoint through each of its eight episodes.

Ray J Missed Brandy’s Hollywood Walk Of Fame Ceremony
The Shade Room reported in April that Brandy and Ray J were distant due to his public behavior. The artist’s estranged wife, Princess Love, accused him of pointing a gun at her last Thanksgiving during a livestream.
“There is distance right now,” she said at the time. “There are a few things that he’s been doing in the public eye that I don’t condone, and I just feel like loving him from afar right now is best for me and my peace. But my life with Ray and my connection with him is all throughout the book, and my love for him never wavers.”
The siblings seem back on track, and their fans couldn’t be happier.
Slutty Vegan founder, Pinky Cole, and her husband, Derrick Hayes, are expecting a baby! The couple surprised fans with the announcement during the explosive Season 17 reunion of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta.’
The Hayes are expecting their fourth kid together! The gender of their unborn child hasn’t been revealed, but baby #4 is due in December 2026, per the couple. To note, Pinky Cole and her husband are already parents to daughter D’Ella and sons David and Derrick Jr. Additionally, Derrick Hayes has two children from a previous relationship. Pinky and Derrick got engaged in 2022 and married in 2023 at the St. Regis in Atlanta.
They dropped their baby bombshell during Part 1 of a three-part reunion for ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta.’ However, the news came from a teaser clip of the show, meaning fans won’t see the whole episode unfold until August 9 on Bravo. Ahead of the reunion teaser, Cynthia Bailey said on a podcast episode that someone had revealed their pregnancy during taping, but she wouldn’t say who. Now, fans finally have their answer!
Watch the Slutty Vegan founder announce her pregnancy at the 7:00 mark in the tweeted video below.
If you didn’t know, Pinky and Derrick were first-time cast members on this season of ‘RHOA.’ They brought the Bravo cameras deep into their business, personal and professional — from Pinky Cole attempting to franchise Slutty Vegan amid bankruptcy challenges to resolving a $4 million debt. She’s also navigated legal tussles regarding property seizure and dealt with a former business partner facing criminal charges. On the flip side, Pinky has shared some wins including launching a fashion campaign with PETA.
Will Pinky Return To The Show?
And while ‘RHOA’ fans await the S17 reunion, they’re sounding off on social media about who should make the cut for next season. Will Pinky Cole and Derrick Hayes make the cut? X users are weighing in both ways after viewing the teaser clip. Some are calling for the newbies’ return while others are calling out moments they didn’t favor of the couple on-screen, particularly Pinky.
I must say, Pinky has been doing a PRETTY good job at straddling the fence between Shamea and the rest of the girls in the group. She plays the game just well enough that no one has called her out on it……yet. #RHOA 🍑 pic.twitter.com/0n8KyJQFqr
