The 24 Best Sword & Sorcery Movies Of All Time, Ranked
By Joshua Tyler
| Published
The fantasy genre is too often overlooked, and it’s time that changed. Some of the best movies ever made have involved swords, magic, and wild creatures crossing lands beyond imagination.
Fantasy is a big tent, so for this list we’re going to focus on the sword and sorcery of it all. That means no vampires, no magical nannies, and no steampunk zeppelins. To qualify for this ranking, a movie must have two things: magic and swords.
These are the twenty-four best sword & sorcery fantasy movies of all time.
24. Krull
Krull was the butt of everyone’s jokes for years, but it’s filled with wild creativity and charm. Enough to deserve a place on this list. Besides, it has the glaive, one of the coolest weapons ever created for any movie.
Prince Colwyn races to rescue his bride from an alien fortress that literally moves across the landscape, backed by a band of outlaws and guided by a blind seer played by Freddie Jones. Along the way, you get cyclops, fire mares, shape-shifting enemies, and the iconic glaive. Everybody loves the glaive!
It’s messy, ambitious, and completely sincere. A movie where the sheer volume of ideas being thrown at the screen becomes the point.
23. Ladyhawke
Ladyhawke is a medieval fantasy that skips the usual bombast and instead builds something more romantic and enduring. Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer play cursed lovers. He’s a wolf by night, she’s a hawk by day, and they’re kept tragically out of sync by a vengeful bishop. They’re aided by Matthew Broderick as a quick-talking thief pulled into their orbit.
The movie looks dark and gritty, but it’s actually fun and optimistic in its own way. Ladyhawke never quite got the reception it deserved when it was released in 1985. Reviews were mixed, and box office results were solid but not spectacular. Over time, it gained legitimate cult status, and it’s now celebrated as one of the best things about the 80s.
22. Legend
Dreamlike and unapologetically mythic, 1985’s Legend is Ridley Scott at his most visually indulgent, building a fairy-tale world that feels less like a setting and more like a living painting. Tom Cruise plays the forest-dwelling hero Jack, pulled into a battle to save light itself after darkness, embodied by the greatness of Tim Curry in a towering, iconic performance as the Lord of Darkness.
Future Ferris Bueller star Mia Sara adds a fragile, otherworldly presence as the princess whose choices set everything in motion, but the real power of the film lies in its atmosphere, shaped by practical sets, elaborate creature design, and a sense of fantasy that feels ancient.
21. Conan the Destroyer
A sequel that goes broader and more openly mythic, Conan the Destroyer (1984) trades some of the raw edge of its predecessor (a movie that might show up higher on this list) for a colorful, quest-driven adventure. Arnold Schwarzenegger returns as Conan, this time leading a ragtag party, including a thief, a wizard, and a reluctant princess, on a mission that quickly spirals into gods, monsters, and double-crosses.
Grace Jones brings a striking, physical presence as the warrior Zula, while Wilt Chamberlain adds sheer size to the lineup. It works as a fast-moving fantasy ride, packed with practical creatures, oversized sets, and the kind of unapologetic sword-and-sorcery energy that defined the genre’s peak era.
20. Clash of the Titans
Long before CGI flattened everything into the same glossy blur, Clash of the Titans (1981) arrived as a handcrafted spectacle, directed by Desmond Davis and powered by the unmistakable work of effects legend Ray Harryhausen.
The story tracks Perseus, played by Harry Hamlin, as he’s pushed through a gauntlet of gods and monsters (Medusa, the Kraken, and everything in between), while Laurence Olivier looms over it all as Zeus and Maggie Smith sharpens the edges as Thetis.
Every creature feels built, every moment staged like myth carved into stone. It’s simple hero’s-journey storytelling, but delivered with enough visual imagination and analog charm that it still feels bigger than most modern attempts to do the same.
19. The Forbidden Kingdom
2008’s The Forbidden Kingdom is a glossy East-meets-West martial arts fantasy directed by Rob Minkoff that exists mostly as an excuse to finally put Jackie Chan and Jet Li in the same movie. The story follows an American teenager who gets magically transported to ancient China, where he teams up with Chan’s drunken warrior and Li’s stoic monk to return a mystical staff and free the Monkey King.
Along the way, the film leans hard into fun martial-arts movie tropes like wire-fu fights, mythic villains, and a lot of destiny talk. It does that while staying accessible to Western audiences with a familiar fish-out-of-water structure. Instead of getting bogged down, the film leans into what works: fluid, inventive fight choreography, colorful world-building, and a sense of adventure that keeps things moving.
18. Dragonheart
Dragonheart is a 1996 medieval fantasy built around Dennis Quaid as Bowen, a knight turned dragon-slayer who’s given up on ideals after a dragon saves a future tyrant. That dragon, Draco, is voiced perfectly by Sean Connery, playing him as witty, tired, and more human than anyone else on screen. They team up to run a scam, faking fake dragon hunts for money. That works until the king, played by David Thewlis, proves too brutal to ignore.
Draco was one of the first fully CG lead characters that actually felt present in scenes, built by Industrial Light & Magic using then-cutting-edge CGI and motion reference from Sean Connery’s performance. At the time, it was a major leap in making a digital creature carry real emotion and screen time, and for audiences, the first time they’d seen a dragon on screen that actually felt alive.
17. The Chronicles of Narnia
Four kids walk through a wardrobe and accidentally trigger a regime change in the 2005 Andrew Adamson adaptation of author C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
The Pevensie siblings land in a frozen fantasy world stuck under the White Witch’s control, where winter never ends, and dissent gets turned to stone. Suddenly, these outsiders are central to a war they barely understand, and there’s a lion, who seems to act a lot like Jesus.
It’s a heavily structured, deliberate fantasy that did justice to the books, even if it doesn’t hold up quite as well now as it did back in the early 2000s.
16. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
Based on the popular role-playing game it gets its name from, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves picks up after the adventuring party of Edvin the Bard, Holga the Barbarian, Simon the Sorcerer, Doric the Druid, and Forge the Thief were betrayed by the obviously evil wizard Sofina.
Out for revenge, Evin and Holga get the band back together, go into an actual dungeon complete with a dragon, and pull off a fantastical heist. It failed at the box office thanks to a fan boycott centered on the company that owns the IP and had nothing to do with the movie itself.
That’s a shame because Honor Among Thieves is great sword-and-sorcery fantasy. Whether you play the tabletop game or not, the comedy beats all and makes it a fun fantasy adventure everyone must see.
15. Jason and the Argonauts
Despite its 1963 release, Jason and the Argonauts is a visual feast thanks to the brilliant, groundbreaking stop-motion effects of Ray Harryhausen. The film follows Jason as he assembles a crew of heroes and sails into dangerous territory to claim the Golden Fleece, encountering a series of episodic threats along the way. He faces down harpies, a living bronze giant, crashing cliffs, and the famous skeleton army.
The plot is a delivery system for Harryhausen’s amazing set pieces, each designed to top the last, with gods quietly manipulating events in the background.
14. Willow
Released in 1988, Willow is a fantasy adventure built by director Ron Howard and producer George Lucas as a more traditional fairy-tale quest than the darker ’80s fantasy around it. The story follows Willow, a reluctant farmer and aspiring sorcerer, who gets pulled into protecting a prophesied baby destined to overthrow an evil queen.
He ends up paired with a rogue swordsman, Madmartigan (played by Val Kilmer), and the movie runs them through a familiar structure: travel, ambushes, magic encounters, and escalating confrontations with the queen’s forces. It leans on practical effects, creature work, and straightforward stakes, with Willow’s arc built around stepping up rather than discovering something hidden. It’s an accessible hero’s journey, but one with enough of a darker edge to keep it from feeling like pure kids’ fantasy.
13. Harry Potter
There are too many Harry Potter movies to put them all in one spot, and also I don’t want this list to be nothing but Harry Potter. Plus, it’s borderline whether Harry Potter really qualifies for a Sword & Sorcery fantasy list. But it’s such a juggernaut that I felt it deserved at least a mention.
So for this entry, I’m focusing on my favorite Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It may be the best-written of all the films, and it developed the visual palette used in the subsequent films, despite being the third entry in the series.
The movie shifts the tone darker and more controlled, following Harry as he returns to Hogwarts under the threat of escaped prisoner Sirius Black, who’s believed to be coming for him. What starts as a manhunt turns into a reveal-heavy mystery, flipping assumptions about who’s actually dangerous and why.
It doesn’t really matter which Potter movie is your favorite; if you’re talking fantasy movies of any kind, even the more sword-focused ones, it deserves a place.
12. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Turning a Disney amusement park ride into a movie shouldn’t have worked, but in 2003 director Gore Verbinski pulled it off with a once-in-a-lifetime performance from Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow and a willingness to embrace the inherent darkness of a proper pirate tale.
The story follows blacksmith Will Turner, played by Orlando Bloom (the only actor to be in two entries on this list), teaming up with the unpredictable pirate Jack Sparrow to rescue Elizabeth Swann from Captain Barbossa and his crew. The twist is that Barbossa and his men aren’t just pirates; they’re cursed undead who can’t feel anything and can’t die.
11. Excalibur
For many, 1981’s Excalibur is the ultimate movie version of the King Arthur legend. Director John Boorman leans all the way into the idea that this story is less history and more a fever dream. It tracks the rise and fall of King Arthur, from pulling the sword from the stone to building Camelot, and then watching it rot from within amid betrayal, lust, and power struggles.
The genius of Excalibur lies in the way it creates mood, prioritizing it over realism. The full Arthur cycle is compressed into one operatic, stylized film about how idealism creates its own downfall.
10. The NeverEnding Story
The NeverEnding Story begins in the real world, with Bastian, a lonely kid, being bullied and looking for an escape. Director Wolfgang Petersen’s 1984 movie only becomes a fantasy film as Bastian reads.
He becomes tied to the fate of a collapsing fantasy world called Fantasia, inside which a young warrior named Atreyu is sent on a quest to stop a spreading force known as the Nothing, which is literally erasing existence. The story keeps folding back on the reader, blurring the line between fiction and reality, until Bastian himself becomes part of the narrative.
It’s part adventure, part a story about imagination, and it leans hard on practical effects and big emotional swings to sell the idea that stories only survive if someone believes in them. After it’s over, you’ll be ready to say: I believe.
9. Stardust
While it’s based on the work of Neil Gaiman, director Matthew Vaughn’s 2007 adaptation of Stardust avoids the infamous writer’s more macabre instincts to create a fantasy tale of wonder and nobler adventure.
The story starts in a quiet English village where a wall separates the real world from a magical one. A young man, Tristan Thorn, promises to retrieve a fallen star to win a woman who barely cares about him. When he crosses the wall, he finds the star isn’t an object but a woman, Yvaine (played by Claire Danes), and suddenly everyone wants her.
Witches need her heart to stay young. Princes hunt her to claim a throne. Tristan just wants to drag her home as proof he can deliver. What starts as a transaction turns into a chase across a world that keeps escalating in danger and scale.
8. The Hobbit Trilogy
The Hobbit trilogy was a project Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson didn’t want to make. When he learned Hollywood was making it with him or without him, he jumped in to save the legacy he’d built with The Lord of the Rings and gave it everything he had left in the tank.
It faced criticism because it’s not as good as The Lord of the Rings. But then nothing is as good as Lord of the Rings (more on that in a minute), and everything seems lacking in comparison.
It’s still a deeply beautiful, complex, and interesting sword-fighting fantasy tale. The dwarves sing a mournful song in Bilbo’s Hobbit hole, and it carries them on a journey across Middle-earth to face a dragon and an army. It’s not as good as it should have been, but The Hobbit is better than it has any right to be, and it’s better than most things that don’t take place in Middle-earth.
7. Highlander
Highlander is a 1986 fantasy in which immortals roam history, locked into ritual combat where the only way to win is beheading. In modern New York and across centuries of flashbacks, Connor MacLeod slowly learns the rules of a secret war that’s been going on forever, all building toward “there can be only one.”
The movie is famous for its style, Queen on the soundtrack, MTV editing, and an iconic villain performance from Clancy Brown. Despite its R rating and frequent head decapitating, Highlander feels more dangerous than it actually is. That’s part of its charm and also why it has endured.
6. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Monty Python and the Holy Grail is one of the funniest movies of all time, and it’s barely a movie at all. It’s the pinnacle of the iconic comedy troupe Monty Python’s style, and there’s never been anything like it before or since.
It begins when King Arthur is sent by God to find the Holy Grail in medieval England. It ends with King Arthur being arrested by modern-day British police, even though no time travel is involved. That arrest sequence, by the way, actually happened; the police showed up on the scene and arrested them for filming without a permit. So they threw it in the movie and used it as their ending.
Holy Grail is a fantasy movie built on refusing to behave like a normal story, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Ni!
5. Hook
Hook begins with the story of Peter Banning, a man who is everything Peter Pan was never supposed to become: a corporate lawyer, glued to his phone, too busy to notice his own kids slipping away. When his kids are snatched out of their beds and dragged to Neverland by Captain Hook, Peter Banning follows, but the problem is that he’s forgotten he was ever Peter Pan.
The Lost Boys don’t buy him; their current leader, Rufio, flat-out rejects him, and Hook toys with him like a washed-up relic. What should have been a rescue mission turns into a midlife crisis with swords, as a man grapples with what really matters to him in the world. To save his kids, Peter has to relearn imagination, rediscover joy, and essentially undo adulthood long enough to become the thing he abandoned.
Taking place on massive, lovingly crafted sets filmed with all the magic peak Steven Spielberg can muster, it’s a perfect story for every adult facing down the stress of middle age, while also a family story filled with all the magic and wonder kids need to fire up their own imaginations.
4. The Wizard of Oz
L. Frank Baum’s iconic Oz books were once revered in the same way the books of Tolkien and C.S. Lewis are. Over the years, that’s somehow been overshadowed by the 1939 film adaptation of his work, even though Baum’s books are better than the movie.
Yet the movie itself is one of the best fantasy stories ever told, using what by modern-day standards would be viewed as only very rudimentary techniques. Despite the unkind rigors of aging, it’s still fun to watch.
Released near the end of the Great Depression, the film takes a black-and-white Kansas defined by exhaustion and hardship and explodes it into the impossible color of Oz, creating one of the most famous transitions in movie history. The story follows Dorothy, a lonely farm girl swept into a fantasy world where every strange encounter reflects fears and desires pulled from her real life back home. It defined what big-screen fantasy could feel like.
3. The Princess Bride
The Princess Bride begins with a grandfather reading a story to his sick grandson, then unfolds into a fantasy adventure filled with sword fights, revenge plots, kidnappings, monsters, and true love. What makes the film totally unique is the way it’s delivered, with a heavy layer of dry self-awareness that never turns cynical.
Westley’s quest to reunite with Buttercup is intentionally simple, allowing the movie to focus on its characters rather than complicated lore. Every supporting player feels iconic because the film gives them instantly memorable personalities and dialogue, from Inigo Montoya’s obsession with vengeance to Vizzini’s constant claims of “inconceivable.”
Instead of trying to make fantasy feel realistic, The Princess Bride embraces the artificiality of storybook adventure and turns that sincerity into meaning.
2. Conan the Barbarian
1982’s Conan the Barbarian tells the origin of a warrior forged by loss, slavery, and violence, moving through a brutal fantasy world ruled by cults, warlords, and gods that don’t care. Director John Milius presents Conan’s story as destiny rather than spectacle.
The plot is classic pulp: revenge, survival, and power taken through strength. It believes, fully, in all the values it espouses. As such, despite its brutality, no film on this list feels more pure, innocent, and untouched.
The movie follows Conan, past a child enslaved after his parents are murdered by a snake cult led by Thulsa Doom. He grows into a massive warrior shaped entirely by pain, survival, and violence.
Arnold Schwarzenegger barely speaks for long stretches because the movie understands his presence is the point. Conan is s a human weapon trying to carve meaning out of revenge. The result is a fantasy movie that feels heavy, dangerous, and strangely mythic in a way most modern fantasy never does.
1. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
There’s an argument to be made that The Lord of the Rings may be Hollywood’s peak. That everything the filmmaking art form had been building towards led to this one moment in cinema, and that since The Return of the King, everything in the world of moving pictures has been on a slow, steady downward slide.
Whether you believe that or not, the notion that this is a serious discussion large numbers of people in the world are having is a solid indicator of just how good The Lord of the Rings trilogy is. More than just the best fantasy movies of all time, director Peter Jackson’s three movies are among the greatest things ever put to film, extended editions and all.
It’s the greatest ever application of special effects techniques, appearing at the exact moment when CGI had progressed to the point to give us a character like Gollum, while at the same time practical effects and hard work were still frequently used enough to create the incredible, hand-built artistry of Tolkien’s Middle-earth as an actual place the film’s actors could walk around in.
The story is based on one of the greatest ever works of fiction, and the story which basically invented the entire modern fantasy genre. Without Tolkien’s work, most of the other fantasy movies on this list wouldn’t even have existed. Jackson kept the heart of Tolkien’s story, while adapting it for screen in a feat most thought impossible before he pulled it off.
The cast is one of the greatest ensembles ever assembled, and they, along with everyone working on the film, were as much fans of Tolkien’s world as the rest of us. The entire production was locked away for years in an isolated location, doing nothing but living and breathing Tolkien. Nothing like this, nothing on this scale, or with this much passion, has ever been made before, and it almost certainly never will be again.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. If you’ve any sense, you’ll spend a lot of it watching and rewatching all three movies in The Lord of the Rings. Extended Editions, of course.

General Hospital 2-Week Spoilers July 27-Aug 7: Tracy Left Reeling & Ethan on the Run!
General Hospital 2-Week Spoilers for July 27 – August 7, 2026 shock as Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) is completely stunned by developments at work, at Deception, and also at home on the Quartermaine estate. And also, Ethan Lovett (Christian Howard) is going to flee Port Charles unexpectedly.
Also, in the two weeks of July 27th through August 7th, we’ve got Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) fished out of the lake, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) grilled, and Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) trying to get away. We’ve got all that and lots more. So, let’s get right to it.
General Hospital: Ethan’s Surprise and Drew’s Lake Rescue
On Monday, July 27th, Ava Jerome (Maura West) asks Ethan what he’s after. And then Ava winds up making a confession to him. Ethan and Ava have been flirting, looking forward to that romance, but somebody from the past shows up and that’s why Ethan decides to run off.
Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) tells Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) it’s hard not to get excited about the possibility. Maybe it’s about softball. Or it could be about her getting to prosecute the Sidwell case since Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) can’t do it because Sidwell held her hostage.
Carrying over from Friday’s episode, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) reunites with Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud). She’s all smiles when Jason walks into General Hospital. Britt is really excited that he’s home. Jason tells her that the WSB let him go and Britt didn’t think she was ever going to see Jason again. And then he asked Britt if they can go somewhere and talk and she slaps Jason in the face.
GH Spoilers: Willow Begs Chase for Help
Willow wants Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) to tell the PCPD that he couldn’t find her. She is trying to get away, grab her kids. Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) has got it all set up. She needs to do this before Drew exposes her. But since Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) gave up Willow’s name trying to cut a deal, the PCPD has questions about Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota). I don’t think Chase is going to let her walk away. I think he is going to insist that Willow has to come to the PCPD because summer spoilers say she must answer for her connections to Sidwell.
Down by the lake, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) is screaming Drew’s name after pushing him into the water. Nina’s obviously going to be lying. I’m sure she’s hoping to make it look like an accident and that she’s really worried. She’s got to play the part and look frantic. Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton), meanwhile, tells Giovanni Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) to grab one more swim before he goes. Kind of strange because he’s in the water all day because Brook Lynn’s son’s a lifeguard, but the GH writers wanted him at the lake to save Drew.
We’ve also got Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) negotiating with Jack over the return of the black box, and he asked Valentin what he wants in return for it. And of course, Valentin wants Jack to have the WSB unfreeze his assets. Also, Nina’s desperate for Jack’s help. I’m guessing after Giovanni saves Drew that Nina’s going to call Jack in a panic to tell him she tried to kill Drew and it didn’t work.
General Hospital: Jason’s Return and Willow’s Unraveling
So, that means that Jack really needs to cut that deal with Valentin. Then on Tuesday, July 28th, we’ve got Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) catching Jason up on what he missed while he was held by the WSB.
He’s over at Carly’s house and she is so thrilled to see Jason. I do wonder how much he’s going to tell Carly and Sonny about what he endured at the hands of the WSB or if he’ll be typical Jason — a few words and just say, “Well, it wasn’t great.”
Willow’s future is on the line on two different fronts. First, she’s got to answer Dante’s questions about Sidwell. And second, Drew didn’t drown and Nina alerts her daughter that he’s now talking. So, they are officially out of time. GH summer spoilers say that Jack contacts Nina with a breakthrough, but it may be too late.
GH Spoilers: Emma Furious & Jacinda Determined
Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) is cautious and this could be about what went on by the dock. It could be about Charlotte and Danny. And of course, we know soon Rocco is going to be spending a lot more time with aged up Scout Cain (Kayden Brenna Tokarski).
Emma Scorpio-Drake (Brayden Bruner) is upset and interrogating Joss and Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) is there for it, too. So, it looks like Joss has got to explain to Emma the same thing she already told Trina. We’ve got Joss in her black WSB suit and Emma is looking really ticked off at her.
GH spoilers say that Emma’s all worked up when she hears that Joss is an agent. We’ve also got Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell) is really confused by Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson). And this could be about Willow because GH spoilers say Jacinda gets impatient because Willow still has a place in Michael’s life. He’s playing kind of a long strategy, but Jacinda wants it done now. She decides to take matters into her own hands and Michael may not like what Jacinda does.
General Hospital Spoilers: Serena’s Return and Ethan’s Departure
Then on Wednesday, July 29th, the Quartermaines are shaken when they get news from Gio. So I’m wondering if he tells them Nina was screaming, Drew was in the water, Gio saved his life. I don’t think Tracy will appreciate that Gio saved Drew. And also, Tracy might think the accident wasn’t so much an accident. We also have Ava getting more suspicious and it could be about Ethan.
And Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) is thrown on Wednesday. Now, this may be about Jason’s return, but she already knew about that. Or Willow may contact her about the Sidwell legal issues, or Alexis may be hearing about Drew’s near drowning and regaining his mobility and speech.
Summer spoilers confirm that his recovery is bad for Alexis, and no doubt he will want Scout back when Willow was letting her stay over there with her. Also, Alexis is going to let Willow know that she knows she shot Drew. That’s coming up very soon. GH summer spoilers say that she drops the pretense that she’s been keeping about Willow’s guilt.
Plus, Molly gets an update from Alexis and they are both worried. And Michael exerts his power, likely at Deception now that he owns Max’s shares. And I wonder if he’s going to move Jacinda from Crimson over to Deception to represent him.
Trina and Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) make some assumptions and they may wonder about Drew’s almost drowning and think that it might not have been an accident.
General Hospital Spoilers: Jason Reconnects with Anna
Then on Thursday, July 30th, Jason reunites with Anna Devane (Finola Hughes). Now, we know Jason and Anna have both gone through a WSB nightmare recently, so they may bond over their trauma. And Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) draws a line. I suspect that’s going to be with Britt because Tristan has only seen the worst of her.
And Serena Baldwin (Kelly Krueger) comes home to Port Charles on Thursday. Kelly Krueger makes her debut in the role. So, she’s in town to help her surrogate mom, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring), fight with this power struggle thing they’ve got going on at Deception.
Tracy’s blindsided, and it may have to do with Serena showing up to support Lucy. And Ethan is in for a shock. And I suspect that he knows Serena and that she’s the reason he is going to scurry out of Port Charles.
Friday, July 31st, we’ve got Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) getting coached by Dante. It is softball season, and Liz and Dante are in their uniforms in the park smiling, but they’re not on the same team.
Sonny summons Jason to see him, and he’s going to tell Sonny about big life changes that he’s decided to make after his WSB ordeal, and he wants to prioritize Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn) over everything. It’s about time that he was a good dad.
Brook Lynn defends Danny. Hopefully, nobody’s suggesting he had something to do with Drew winding up in the lake nearly drowning since Danny and Drew’s animosity is well known.
Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) gets huge news from Ethan. I suspect he’s going to tell Lulu he’s leaving town. Anna is gob smacked and this may be about Drew’s accident or something to do with Willow.
General Hospital: Aftermath and Summer Developments
Then the week of August 3rd through the 7th, we’ll see if Jason tells Sonny he’s stepping back from the mob. Liz and Dante spend more time together because of softball, but things are kind of sparking between them and Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) doesn’t like this at all.
Nathan Dean finishes his run as Ethan. He’s already been taken off the contract credits. Anna continues to struggle with Peter August (Wes Ramsey) and her head, demanding that Anna target Britt. We’ll see fallout with Jason and Britt from his return and her angry attitude, and Serena gets reacclimated to Port Charles, but she’s got some personal issues that are secret at first. We’ll find out more about Drew wanting to rat out Willow and Nina, but Brennan’s leverage may show up in time to stop him.
Valentin’s excited to get his assets back so he can buy back Wyndemere. Lulu’s really going to struggle, but Dante gave her solid advice about how to deal with the Charlotte and Valentin issues. And Molly works on building her case against Sidwell. And I’m curious if Ezra and Willow will both flip on Sidwell.
Shia LaBeouf has resurfaced in Los Angeles as he begins serving two years of probation stemming from a February bar fight. The 40-year-old actor was photographed leaving a dispensary during a solo outing on Friday. The sighting comes shortly after LaBeouf pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor battery charges and was ordered to complete alcohol abuse rehabilitation, sensitivity training, and anger management classes. Shia LaBeouf’s public appearance also follows several major changes in his personal life, including the end of his marriage to Mia Goth and the beginning of a new relationship with Nicole Mumphrey.
LaBeouf appeared solemn while exiting the Los Angeles dispensary a few days ago. The “Transformers” star was carrying a brown paper bag as he left the establishment, although its contents were not identified. The actor was not accompanied by Mumphrey, with whom he celebrated his 40th birthday in Louisiana in June. There is no indication that the dispensary visit violated the terms of LaBeouf’s probation or any court order connected to his recent criminal case.
The images prompted concerned reactions from social media users, several of whom speculated about LaBeouf’s sobriety. However, the contents of his brown paper bag were not identified, and there is no evidence that the visit violated his probation or treatment requirements. “I hope he’s getting himself some help. Drugs won’t help you, buddy. What a waste,” one person wrote, while another simply labeled the actor “Addicted.”
Others reflected on the trajectory of LaBeouf’s career. One commenter wrote, “It’s troubling how he and Amanda Byrnes turned out.” A separate user warned, “I hope he’s not doing it again. If he does.. you won’t know what happened to him until now.”
“Guy was a good actor, real good, not sure what happened to him,” another added. “Dude, you’re supposed to be sober,” another commenter declared, although LaBeouf has not publicly confirmed what he purchased during the outing.
The Actor Pleaded Guilty To Three Battery Charges
LaBeouf entered guilty pleas in June to three misdemeanor battery counts related to a bar brawl that occurred in February. According to PEOPLE, the filmmaker was sentenced to two years of probation. He was also ordered to undergo alcohol abuse rehabilitation, sensitivity training, and anger management classes.
LaBeouf was initially arrested on February 17 and released on his own recognizance. However, a judge later required the actor to post a $100,000 bond after learning of allegations that LaBeouf had used a gay slur during the confrontation. A second charge resulted in an additional $5,000 bond before prosecutors filed a third battery count.
Despite the allegation involving the slur, LaBeouf was ultimately charged with misdemeanor battery rather than a bias-related offense.
Shia LaBeouf’s Attorney Calls It A ‘Minor’ Altercation
Following the guilty plea, LaBeouf’s lawyer, Sarah Chervinsky, characterized the confrontation as a relatively low-level bar fight. “The police and DA investigation proved exactly what Shia LaBeouf said from the beginning, that this was nothing more than a minor Mardi Gras bar tussle,” Chervinsky told the Daily Mail.
The attorney also emphasized that prosecutors did not bring charges related to bias or prejudice. “There is no evidence it was about bias or prejudice, which is why the state only charged these low-level misdemeanors,” she continued.
Chervinsky said the actor accepted responsibility for his conduct and intended to shift his attention toward rebuilding his personal and professional life. “Mr. LaBeouf came to court today wanting to take accountability for his part in what happened, and he has done so,” she added. “Now he’s looking forward to focusing on family, work, and new creative projects.”
The ‘Holes’ Star Has A New Girlfriend
The dispensary outing came approximately one month after LaBeouf celebrated his milestone birthday with Mumphrey in New Orleans. The pair was photographed holding hands as they walked through the city. They have reportedly been linked since the spring. The relationship emerged after LaBeouf separated from Goth, with whom he shares four-year-old daughter Isabel.
LaBeouf and Goth split last year, although the actor has been careful not to share details that he believes also belong to his estranged wife. He subsequently relocated to New Orleans, where he has family roots.
Shia LaBeouf Says He ‘Failed’ His Marriage
During a February appearance on Channel 5, LaBeouf accepted responsibility for the breakdown of his marriage while explaining why he moved to Louisiana.
“It’s not new heartbreak,” he said. “I don’t want to talk too much about it. It’s not my story alone to tell, but my side is I failed my marriage, so I had to own up to that. So that’s why I moved out here.”

Michael Bay’s 5-Season Sci-Fi Series Officially Witnesses “The Netflix Effect” With 1.2 Billion Minutes Watched
Were it not for Netflix, Breaking Bad wouldn’t have become the cultural phenomenon that it did. Several network shows experienced what later came to be known as “the Netflix effect” after becoming available on the streamer. They reached a larger audience, which helped them stay afloat longer than they otherwise would have. The phenomenon was witnessed as recently as last month, when a sci-fi series that originally aired from 2014 to 2018 became available on Netflix in all its five-season glory. It immediately became the streamer’s most-watched acquired series, topping the Nielsen charts with a whopping 1.2 billion minutes watched.
Nielsen’s streaming report is unveiled a month after the fact, and the latest edition covers the week of June 22 to June 28. This was when the new Harlan Coben series, I Will Find You, jumped to over 2.4 billion minutes watched in its second weekend. Starring Sam Worthington and Britt Lower, the show is on the verge of entering the streamer’s all-time top 10 list for English-language series. Meanwhile, Love Island USA delivered its best-ever week on record, with nearly 2 billion minutes watched. The acquired series list, on the other hand, was topped by the sci-fi drama in question, which originally aired on TNT.
The Sci-Fi Series Outperformed Massive Legacy Titles
We’re talking, of course, about The Last Ship. Starring the late Eric Dane, the series was executive-produced by Michael Bay. It followed the crew of a U.S. Navy destroyer that remained unaffected by a pandemic that wiped out most of the Earth’s population. The crew was left with the responsibility of finding a cure. Also featuring Rhona Mitra, Adam Baldwin, and Charles Parnell, the show’s first and second seasons received 65% and 86% scores on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, respectively.
At around the same time, fellow TNT title Southland, a crime drama that originally aired from 2009 to 2013, was also made available on Netflix. But Southland hasn’t broken out quite like The Last Ship, despite considerably more favorable reviews. According to the latest Nielsen report, The Last Ship outperformed hits such as House of the Dragon, Grey’s Anatomy, and Young Sheldon.

Influencer Sara Gilson’s husband, Jeremiah “Shawn” Duffey, allegedly attempted to silence the minor he was accused of molesting by paying her money, according to a protective order petition filed weeks before he reportedly murdered Gilson and killed himself.
Us confirmed on Monday, July 27, that the order was filed against Duffey on June 10, by a mother in Oklahoma who alleged Duffey had inappropriately touched her 15-year-old daughter at basketball practice.
According to the filing, Duffey was accused of “child abuse” after a fellow basketball coach “observed through a window” that Duffey was “kissing and fondling” the minor on June 9 while taking private meetings with each player to ask about their “basketball goals.”
The other coach called the child’s mother, who claimed in the filing that her daughter later “confided” in her that Duffey had been “sending her inappropriate messages” prior to the alleged office incident.
Influencer Sara Gilson was allegedly killed by her estranged husband, Shawn Duffey, mere weeks after she allegedly accused him of being a pedophile. Tulsa’s ABC affiliate reported on July 23, 2026, that Gilson and Duffey were found dead in their Oklahoma City home after a fatal shooting. A juvenile family member present at the scene […]
In her petition, the mother further alleged that “once during an out of town tournament, when the whole team including myself were staying at the same hotel, [Duffey] got her [daughter] to come to his room [and] he touched her inappropriately.”
“[The alleged victim] has also said that he has been giving her money to keep her quiet,” the mother claimed in the docs.
The Owasso Police Department (OPD) issued a statement on Monday regarding the sex crime report, confirming that an incident occurred one hour before the parent and juvenile came to Owasso Police Headquarters on June 9 at approximately 8:12 p.m.
“Upon further investigation, it was discovered that a basketball coach, later identified as Jeremiah Shawn Duffey, a coach of a traveling, competitive basketball team, had inappropriately touched a juvenile female member of the team he was coaching, inside the school during an event that evening,” police captain Nick Boatman told Us in a statement.

The statement noted, “Similar conduct by this coach towards this particular juvenile player was reported to have occurred over an extended period of time, in multiple law enforcement jurisdictions, across multiple states prior to this incident.”
Police confirmed that Duffey “fled the scene” after the parent reported the alleged incident to authorities and had “not been seen by Owasso Police since.”
The statement explained that Duffey was a member of the Osage Indian Tribe of Oklahoma and that the reported incident “occurred in Indian Country.”
“This incident was considered a ‘Major Crime’ under the Federal Major Crimes Act (in Indian Country) the report,” authorities added. “Listing the crime of Lewd Molestation of a Minor, was sent to the US Attorney’s Office for review, ending the jurisdiction of the Owasso Police Department over this reported incident.”
Influencer Sara Gilson reportedly sounded distraught in the background of a 911 phone call prior to her death. “I’m trying to reach him [the caller] back, but I could hear a female in the background screaming and crying. Some sort of loud bang in the background,” an Owasso Police Department dispatcher told first respondents on […]
Police noted that after Gilson was contacted about Duffey’s alleged sexual misconduct with a minor, she was “provided information” on how to seek an emergency protective order against him, which she filed on June 10. (She was granted the order prior to her death.)
One month later, Gilson shared a video via TikTok — where she had 79,000 followers — claiming Duffey was a “pedophile.”
In the clip, uploaded on July 11, she called Duffey her “soon-to-be ex-husband,” seemingly hinting at the June incident he was being investigated for.
Weeks later, police responded to a reported domestic violence incident at Gilson and Duffey’s home on Thursday, July 23, following a 911 call where dispatchers heard a woman screaming and “what sounded to be a gunshot,” per the department’s statement.
Influencer Sara Gilson’s ex-husband, Lyle Landers, allegedly “begged” her to leave her estranged husband Shawn Duffey before the couple’s apparent murder-suicide. “She had been stuck in a relationship where domestic abuse seemed ‘OK,’” Landers, 46, claimed in an interview with People published on Sunday, July 26, of his ex-wife, with whom he shared two kids, […]
“A few moments later, the E911 Center received another 911 call from a juvenile caller advising his step-father had shot his mother,” police recalled in the statement. “The juvenile caller was calling from a nearby neighbor’s home.”
Once on scene, officers found two deceased individuals who were later identified as Gilson and Duffey. (Gilson, 43, is survived by her two children from a previous relationship.)
“Investigators continue to work this investigation, although they advised it appeared to be a murder/suicide event,” the police said, noting that the investigation is ongoing.

Before Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere reaches television, one of its biggest stories is finding another way to pull fans into its world. Stormlight: War for Roshar, an upcoming board game from Brotherwise Games, arrives at an interesting moment for the fantasy franchise. Apple has already secured the rights to adapt Cosmere, with Mistborn headed to the big screen and The Stormlight Archive planned for television. Those projects remain on the horizon, but Sanderson’s universe isn’t waiting for cameras to start rolling before it grows.
Fantasy franchises no longer live or die by books alone. Readers expect worlds they can revisit through games, role-playing systems, graphic adaptations, and eventually television or film. Stormlight: War for Roshar doesn’t feel like merchandise released to capitalize on future screen adaptations. It demonstrates that Roshar is already expansive enough to support new experiences while preserving the scale that has made The Stormlight Archive one of modern fantasy’s defining series.
‘Stormlight: War for Roshar’ Turns Sanderson’s Massive Battles Into a Strategy Game
Making adaptations of The Stormlight Archive has always been quite a task. Sanderson’s novels are typically more than 1,000 pages long, feature countless characters interacting, and tell the stories of characters navigating large-scale conflicts. With these elements, transforming the story into a board game could easily render the idea of just another fantasy-themed project. Instead, Stormlight: War for Roshar appears determined to capture what makes the series distinct.
Players, on top of controlling armies, step into the roles of central figures such as Dalinar, Kaladin, Raboniel, and Taravangian while balancing diplomacy, territorial control, military campaigns, and shifting alliances. Battles revolve around Roshar’s Oathgates and even incorporate the Highstorm and Everstorm into the game’s structure, tying its mechanics directly to one of the series’ defining features.
Because of its close attention to the source material, the project does not seem like yet another product for its most loyal readers but a new method of experiencing the struggle underlying the novels. All the choices made by the players evoke the political strategies and clashes that are a hallmark of Sanderson’s works. Instead of recreating the known episodes from the novels, the authors of the game have players face the same tough choices that drive the book’s narrative.
The Board Game Shows Cosmere Is Catching People’s Eyes
The timing couldn’t be more revealing. Apple’s adaptation deal signals enormous confidence in Cosmere’s future as a screen franchise, but television audiences won’t be the first to experience Sanderson’s world outside the novels. That’s already happening.
The Stormlight universe has steadily expanded through audiobooks, graphic audio productions, a virtual reality experience, tabletop roleplaying games, and previous board game adaptations. Stormlight: War for Roshar builds on that foundation while arguably becoming the franchise’s most ambitious tabletop project yet.
That progression says something important about Cosmere’s future. Sanderson hasn’t created a single successful fantasy series; he’s built an interconnected universe capable of supporting multiple forms of storytelling. Readers may first arrive through Mistborn or The Way of Kings, but they increasingly have reasons to stay that go beyond waiting for the next novel.
It’s the same strategy that has helped other major fantasy properties remain relevant between releases. Every new format deepens the world rather than replacing the books that inspired it. For longtime fans, that’s another opportunity to spend time in Roshar. For newcomers, it offers an alternative entry point into a universe that can initially seem intimidating due to its sheer size.
Apple’s Adaptation Will Benefit From a Franchise That’s Already Growing
One of the most difficult parts of any fantasy adaptation is to get people to buy into a new world. Cosmere has got the market in terms of books, as Sanderson has sold millions of copies of his works globally; however, reaching audiences who have never read a long book could make or break the story on screen.
They keep the franchise visible between publishing milestones, reinforce the identities of major characters, and remind audiences that Roshar isn’t simply another medieval fantasy setting. Its magical storms, layered political conflicts, distinctive cultures, and evolving alliances give it an identity that stands apart from many of its contemporaries in the genre.
Just as importantly, they reinforce confidence that Cosmere can thrive across different mediums. Apple is inheriting a franchise whose audience has already embraced roleplaying games, tabletop experiences, and other extensions of Sanderson’s world, creating momentum television can build on rather than generate from scratch.
Apple’s Stormlight Archive series will almost certainly become the biggest spotlight Roshar has ever received. Before that happens, though, Stormlight: War for Roshar offers the clearest sign yet that Sanderson’s fantasy universe has outgrown any single medium. The novels remain its foundation, but Cosmere is steadily becoming something larger — a franchise capable of telling stories wherever its audience wants to experience them.
Former Nickelodeon star Jennifer Hyatt Tedmori was seen crashing out on Instagram after receiving a stack of residual checks from the children’s television network worth shocking amounts. In her series, Tedmori, who appeared in “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide,” blasted her former employer for paying more to send her payments than what the checks themselves were even worth.
Tedmori, who played Doris Trembley in the Nickelodeon series, recently posted a video to her Instagram showing a stack of residual checks from her time on the early 2000s sitcom.
“It’s that time of the year for me: I got my Ned’s residual checks,” she said in the clip as she sliced open the slew of envelopes. “Some of these could be a penny, some of these could be $5.”
As she opened the first check and recalled filming the episode, she added text on the screen that read, “Crashout incoming,” as she showed her followers that the check was worth $0.02.
“All of two cents. See all of this paper I’m just littering in my car for two f–king cents,” she said. “I know, hard times [and the] economy is s–t, but like two cents? Keep it. Just f–king keep it. I don’t want it.”
This Former Nickelodeon Star Says The Network Should Just Keep The Money Instead Of Sending It To Her
Throughout the video, Tedmori opened more of her residual checks, which featured similar amounts to the one above. She did, however, open a check that was from her time on “90210,” revealing she made around $22.
“Don’t come for me about throwing away a nickel. Y’all had f–king let a nickel get lost in your couch,” Tedmori joked in the video. “Don’t come for me.”
The actress continued, joking that while she understands it’s been over 20 years since she filmed the show, she argued that it costs more to send and mail the checks than she’s actually receiving.
“Now, I get it, it’s been a long time. I’m surprised that I’m getting anything. But three cents? It cost you 75 cents to send this envelope, and the way it’s adding up, the math ain’t f–king mathing,” she said.
Tedmori Isn’t The Only Child Star Receiving Laughable Residual Checks
Tedmori isn’t the only child star receiving measly residual checks. “Full House” star Jodie Sweetin previously revealed that she, too, got a check in the mail for “one cent.”
According to Sweetin, who made the revelation on the “McBride Rewind” show, said that actors aren’t receiving residual money like they used to because the shows have moved to streaming.
“No, there’s no syndication anymore because it’s all in streaming. Who gets paid for that? Nobody gets paid for that,” she said.
Sweetin, who played Stephanie Tanner on the ’90s family series, said that in the past, she would get decent money, but it wasn’t reliable. “You don’t know how much it’s going to be or how often they’re going to run the show,” she said.
“So, sometimes you’re like, ‘Oh, cool. That was nice.’ And then sometimes you’re like, ‘All right, well, there’s a nice dinner out,’” she added.
Another Nickelodeon Star Said She ‘Never Got Paid’ Residuals For Her Work On This Popular Show
@only1giovonnie Replying to @Pretty Tony Jr. #giovonniesamuels #nostalgia #sutielifeofzackandcody #disney #foryou #2000s #nickelodeon #sagstrike #wagstrike #unionstrong ♬ original sound – Giovonnie Samuels
Speaking of Nickelodeon stars, Giovonnie Samuels, known for her role in “All That” with Amanda Bynes and Drake Bell, said in a TikTok video that she “never got paid for any residuals” after acting in the sketch comedy show.
“I need y’all to understand that not all child stars are rich,” Samuels, who went on to appear in “Bring It On: All or Nothing” alongside Hayden Panettiere and Solange Knowles, said. “Not all of us are balling. The leads of the cast, they get the big money checks. The supporting cast, like myself, we don’t get that.”
This Late Actor Said His Residuals Were ‘Not Bad’
Matthew Perry, one of the stars of the NBC series “Friends,” previously told Andy Cohen that the residual checks he and his co-stars received were worthwhile.
When the “Watch What Happens Live” host asked him if the residuals were “bountiful,” Perry said they’re “not bad.”
“And they come in form of a text: ‘You just made this.’ And I go, ‘Oh, great,’” he said.

Days after Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham doubled down on her stance against transgender athletes competing in women’s sports, her podcast costar has taken a different point of view.
“Transgender athletes in American sports is such a borderline non-existent issue,” Summer House alum West Wilson said in a video via TikTok on Saturday, July 25.
Wilson, 31, and Cunningham, 29, are high school friends and host the “Show Me Something” podcast together.
“Right-wingers have convinced a massive portion of people in our country that these people are, like, a threat to sports in America, when mathematically it’s not the case at all,” Wilson said. “And by continuing to platform this — politicians, athletes, journalists, news outlets — you’re only isolating transgender people even more by making them seem like this giant group of people is a threat to society, a threat to sports, when that’s just not proportionately the truth in any capacity.”
Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham is pulling back the curtain on teammate Caitlin Clark’s off-the-court personality, describing her as a “normal human” and a “big ole dork.” “First of all, I think she is such a normal human,” Cunningham said on the Wednesday, February 25, episode of the “Like a Farmer” Podcast. “She truly is. […]
He continued, “There’s like 10 transgender athletes in all the NCAA. I think there are unique questions that can be handled on [an] individual basis, but to allow this to take attention away from housing, healthcare, and wars and all the other actual harmful s*** in our country is dumb.”
There are more than 500,000 NCAA student-athletes, spanning the organization’s three divisions. There are, in fact, fewer than 10 transgender people in that group, NCAA president Charlie Baker said during a 2024 congressional hearing.
Cunningham previously weighed in on the issue in a story for ESPN published July 21.
“I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans. And I’m like, ‘I never once said that,’” she said in the story. “I think that I am here to extend love. But I also think, with that, love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.”
Summer House’s Lindsay Hubbard is not mincing her words when it comes to costar West Wilson. “Good morning! ☀️ Hope everyone slept well last night. I know I did,” Hubbard, 39, wrote via Threads on Monday, June 15. “Woke up with some more thoughts if anyone cares: 1) Maybe West Wilson should go on his […]
Asked about it the next day at a Fever practice, Cunningham said, “I think it’s kind of common sense. I think I’ll always believe in that. I think it’s really important to protect children.”
In addition to the low number of transgender athletes in sports, there’s also no conclusive evidence that transgender women have a tangible advantage over their cisgender counterparts. A study funded in part by the IOC and published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in 2024 even found several disadvantages for trans women, including poorer lower-body strength and lung function.
“I think there is room for absolutely everyone here and I think there’s room to love everyone,” Cunningham said. “I truly think when you get people in the same room and have conversations, you have a lot in common with a lot of people. I’m there to love, but I’m also there to love biological women and I think there are rights that need to be protected.”
Raven-Symoné and her wife, Miranda Maday, had the opportunity to channel their inner models and DID. Miranda shared the video of them “maxxing” and “mogging” just a few days ago. Since then, fans have flooded the couple’s comment section with a lil’ bit of everything, from compliments to jokes.

As mentioned, Miranda Maday hit upload on the video with Raven on July 23. Sharing it on Instagram, Maday captioned the post, “We maxxing, we mogging…cool words Gen Z.” It’s unclear when the video was filmed. In it, Rae is rocking a blonde buzzcut hairstyle, but she’s been growing out her starter locs for the last few months. In the clip, Rae and Miranda are wearing ‘fits matching each other’s fly — Rae in a black-and-white suit and her wife in a white dress with black belt straps. The video shows them briefly changing their poses, including when Miranda gently removed Rae’s hand from resting on her neck.
What’s Raven-Symoné Been Up To?
Recently, Raven-Symoné went viral after revealing that another ‘Cheetah Girls’ movie is under production. She will be returning to her role as Galleria, and so, while Adrienne Bailon-Houghton will be Chanel. Additionally, Sabrina Bryan will also make an appearance in ‘The Cheetah Girls: Next Gen’ film. For now, it doesn’t appear that Kiely Williams will be joining her old crew for the role of Aqua. Following news of the reboot film, Williams’ sister hopped online with harsh words for Raven-Symoné and Adrienne. Both women have not responded to the shade. Instead, they gave fans a taste of their vibe on set.

What Do You Think Roomies?
Jon Bon Jovi had a triumphant return to Madison Square Garden and surprised fans with a special guest.
According to videos shared via social media from the Sunday, July 26, concert in New York City, Bon Jovi, 64, was joined by Bruce Springsteen for two duets.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Bruce Springsteen,” Bon Jovi told the crowd as Springsteen, 76, walked on stage. “The king of the great state of New Jersey. Who says you can’t go home?”
Bon Jovi and Springsteen performed two songs together: the rock band’s song “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” as well as The Boss’ “The Promised Land.”
Jon Bon Jovi‘s return to the stage has been anything but smooth. The rock icon spent the past several years navigating a serious vocal cord injury, a career-threatening surgery and, most recently, a sinus infection that forced him to cut a Madison Square Garden concert short in July 2026. Through it all, the “Livin’ on […]
Not only are Springsteen and Bon Jovi both proud to call New Jersey their home state, but the pair have become close friends over the years. Bon Jovi has spoken highly of Springsteen’s music and cited his work in the E Street Band as his inspiration during the early days of his career.
This show was Bon Jovi’s final performance during his MSG residency. The concert also came three days after Bon Jovi had to abruptly end his Thursday, July 23, show after 90 minutes. After performing his hit “Livin’ on a Prayer,” Bon Jovi shared with the audience he was unable to continue.
“Don’t throw away your ticket stubs. I’m going to figure something out,” he told the crowd. “Just hang onto it. I’m going to figure out how to reschedule.”
Before exiting the stage, Bon Jovi added, “I’m gonna have to cool it for a night. I feel great. I’ll see you again soon. Bye-bye.”
Bon Jovi’s spokesperson told Us later on Thursday that the singer had been suffering from a sinus infection.
“The Bon Jovi concert at Madison Square Garden ended after 90 mins tonight,” the statement read. “Jon Bon Jovi spoke from stage and told fans he has been battling a sinus infection, which led to the show’s early ending. As part of the Bon Jovi residency at Madison Square Garden, Jon has said numerous times that it has been a joy to return to live shows for the band. Updated information will be available shortly.”
“The Boss” was almost forced into retirement. Bruce Springsteen returned to the stage earlier this month to perform at Phoenix, AZ’s Footprint Center after taking six months off to deal with his peptic ulcer disease. Springsteen, 74, told SiriusXM’s E Street Radio host Jim Rotolo that the comeback almost didn’t happen as the disease robbed […]
While Bon Jovi’s MSG residency has come to the end, the rock star has more performances up his sleeve. Next month, Bon Jovi’s Forever Tour will head to Edinburgh.
Four years ago, Bon Jovi underwent surgery to fix an atrophying vocal cord. While he recovered from the procedure, the Grammy winner was unsure if he would be able to perform live again.
“Although I’m well on the road to recovery and was able to take my time and do a song a day when I made the record, my need, want, desire is to be able to do two-and-a-half hours a night, four nights a week, for months on end,” he said in a March 2024 interview with Boston’s Mix 104.1 radio station. “And so I’m working towards that goal.”
