2026 is the year of love. No matter how much the world feels like it’s falling apart, a good love story can be the perfect escape. At the very least, these stories are something to take our minds off reality for a while. Last year, television delivered romance in all kinds of settings, from the streets of London in Too Much, to the jungles of The Narrow Road to the Deep North, and even to Jeju Island in When Life Gives You Tangerines.

This time around, the genre is opening its arms even wider, with everything from returning fan-favorite series to fresh adaptations based on New York Times bestselling novels. Without further ado, here are the upcoming romance shows you won’t want to miss.

‘Love on the Spectrum’ Season 4 (2022–Present)

Love on the Spectrum returns for Season 4, with a lot more romance to spare. The Emmy Award-winning series continues to show that the dating experience is universal, including for those within the neurodivergent community. Whether it’s building meaningful relationships or just putting themselves out there to make new friends, it’s hard not to root for everyone as they step outside their comfort zones.

This season brings in new faces like Logan Pereira, Emma Sue Miller, and Dylan Aguliar, while also catching up with familiar favorites like Connor Tomlinson and Madison Marilla. As always, the show presents the sweet, heartwarming evolutions of these individuals. But such is the nature of dating, there’s bound to be heartbreak. Brace yourself, as these new love stories are ready to bloom.

‘Pride and Prejudice’ (2026)

Jane Austen‘s seminal 1813 novel is being adapted for the screen once again. Pride & Prejudice walked so modern rom-coms could run, often regarded as the original blueprint for the genre. The story first made a major impact on screen with the 1995 BBC adaptation starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth. While that version is frequently praised for its faithfulness to the source material, it’s the 2005 film starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen that feels like a true marriage between cinema and literature.

This time around, Emma Corrin fills the shoes of Elizabeth Bennet, the leading woman with a “sparkling” wit beyond her years, but a dangerously astute level of self-awareness. Although their perception of society is as sharp as her intelligence, Elizabeth just can’t wrap her head around Mr. Darcy, who this time will be played by Jack Lowden. Although their timeless romance remains the beating heart of Pride & Prejudice, the residents of Hertfordshire — brought to life by a cast featuring Olivia Colman and Rufus Sewell — help rejuvenate this adaptation for modern audiences.

‘The Miniature Wife’ (2026)

Being the bigger person means a lot differently in The Miniature Wife. Lindy (Elizabeth Banks) and Les Littlejohn (Matthew Macfadyen) are the ultimate power couple — or at least one half of them. Lindy has won a Pulitzer for her work, while Les has yet to receive a Nobel Prize. Les guarantees that this shrinking technology is going to change the landscape of scientific research. But when Lindy makes fun of his work, the flustered Les accidentally shrinks his wife to 6 inches tall.

The 1989 sci-fi comedy Honey, I Shrunk the Kids famously popularized the size-shifting gimmick, but The Miniature Wife uses the same gag to explore something far more intimate. Lindy and Les are both ambitious, but from the trailer alone, it’s clear that Les is less confident of the two. It doesn’t help that he has yet to find a size-reverting antidote. For most of their relationship, Lindy has been the “bigger” person in terms of achievement. Now that she’s smaller than Les’ finger, the power dynamics completely shift.

‘XO, Kitty’ Season 3 (2023–Present)

It’s a long way from home for Kitty (Anna Carthcart). Season 3 of XO, Kitty takes place in the aftermath of the talent competition, where Kitty exposes Stella’s (Audrey Huynh) blackmail scheme and dismantles her plan. With the truth revealed, Stella is removed, and despite earlier sabotage, Eunice (Ryu Han-bi) wins the competition and earns a spot on tour. As for her family, Kitty finally crosses off one of her personal checklists when she reunites her grandmother with her estranged sister.

Romantically, Kitty finally decides what her heart wants. She finally begins to move on from Yuri (Gia Kim). Instead, her feelings shift toward Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee), who has supported her throughout the season. Though she can’t fully confess, Kitty chooses to join him on tour. With the two sharing an unresolved past, this tour might be the one chance to figure out if they’re a thing.

‘Off Campus’ (2026)

Thanks to Heated Rivalry, sports are officially now the new sexy. Arriving this year is another hockey-based series based on the New York Times bestselling novel series, Off-Campus. Written by Elle Kennedy, the series brings opposites-attract energy to the ice. Hannah Wells (Ella Bright) is confident in almost every aspect of her life. There’s just one little problem: her crush doesn’t notice her. In true Hannah fashion, she comes up with the ultimate pretend date scheme to make her crush jealous.

Hannah’s got the perfect fake date candidate: college bad boy and hockey captain Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli). His future in professional hockey is about to come into fruition, but unfortunately, his low GPA won’t do. When Hannah offers to tutor him in exchange for his cooperation, Garrett simply agrees. What the two don’t realize is that their innocent, unexpected kiss is about to turn into one of the wildest nights of their lives.

‘Every Year After’ (2026)

The Summer I Turned Pretty might have ended last year, but there’s a new summer love story arriving on Prime Video. Based on the Canadian BookTok sensation by Carley Fortune, the streaming platform is bringing Every Year After to life. Persephone “Percy” Fraser (Sadie Soverall) has long left home for the city, spending her young adolescence in a sleek and stylish apartment. More importantly, it’s the one place where she can keep her distance from everyone, including Sam Florek (Matt Cornett).

In a People We Meet on Vacation-like fashion, the original novel is told over “six summers in the past and one weekend in the present.” Percy thought she had seen the last of Barry’s Bay, let alone heard from Sam. But after receiving word of his mother’s death, Percy doesn’t think twice. She packs her bags and races back to the one place that once served as the backdrop for a relationship that could have been.

‘The Hunting Wives’ Season 2 (2025–Present)

Some romantic pursuits are risky to pursue. However, The Hunting Wives shows that a little danger could be the solution to a jaded relationship. Previously in Season 1, The Hunting Wives introduces newcomer Sophie O’Neill (Brittany Snow), who had just moved from Massachusetts to Maple Brook, East Texas. It doesn’t take long for her to make friends with the town’s gun-loving elite, who are led by Margo Banks (Malin Åkerman).

Much of The Hunting Wives revolves around these mysterious socialites, who do their best to maintain a flawless facade while hiding their instability. That said, none of the romance in this show is the cookie-cutter kind. There are no wholesome love stories — only a volatile attraction between Sophie and Margo. With Sophie hiding her past DUI incident and Margo in an open marriage, it seems like all the rules are off when you’re part of the rich.

Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for Tracker Season 3, Episode 14.Sometimes, Tracker can surprise you, and this week’s episode is one such hour full of interesting twists and turns as Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) fights to save a young boy. “The Field Trip” is a usual tale in that it follows a lone hero on his way to rescue a missing child from a predator. Yet, with CBS’s signature procedural style and the smooth-talking Colter Shaw on the case, this makes for a fun hour of television that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

“The Field Trip” Follows Colter Shaw on the Trail of a Missing Boy

In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, after young Alex Clark (Kole Parks) goes missing during a school field trip to a local museum, Colter Shaw arrives in town to do what the police can’t. He’s only been gone for five hours, but Colter is on the case as a favor to Reenie Greene (Fiona Rene), whose client Sara (Elyse Levesque) is Alex’s mother. Sara and her husband James (Jon Beavers) are terrified at the loss of their son, but Colter vows to do whatever it takes to find him.

The boy was last seen in a room with a T. rex skeleton, only to head downstairs to investigate the off-limits staff area. Colter takes a look around the employee garage at the bottom of the building to find a sticker for the Eisenhower Magnet School, the very same school Alex goes to. Colter believes that Alex was lured into the custodial area and out of the building. According to the museum records, Sylvia Sloan (Brittany Willacy) was the last custodian on the job. Turns out, she has a record, was recently divorced, and possibly has a history of psychotic episodes, according to Randy’s (Chris Lee) quick online sleuth action — oh, and on the side, Mel Day (Cassady McClincy Zhang) asks Randy to do some digging on Kurtis Lauper (Serge Houde) regarding the new case they’ve undertaken.

The rewardist is at his best when the show leans into this aspect.

On the way to question Sylvia, James unloads on Colter about his struggles as a parent, how he feels like he’s not been around as much as he should, reflecting his own tense relationship with his father. No doubt Colter is having mental flashbacks to his own childhood, though he keeps his mouth shut for the time being. As Colter arrives at Sylvia’s front door, he decides instead to go around the back as James gets out of Colter’s truck against the rewardist’s orders. Doing so, he spots Sylvia and physically confronts her, resulting in her friend Mike (Keon Lyn) attacking James instead. Colter gets in the middle of it and finds an emotional connection with the woman that opens the door for her to talk. Sylvia tells them that she last saw Alex with someone she only assumed was his teacher, George Brooks (Tyler Poelle), and that they got all turned around and used the employee exit. According to James, Brooks also tutored Alex after school.

Meanwhile, Reenie arrives on the doorstep of Kurtis Lauper, the former project manager of the Elkrun Canyon Housing Development, who refuses to testify against the Prader & Rockwell Properties Group. Done with the lies, he tries to kick her to the curb, but Reenie refuses to take no for an answer. Asking Lauper what lies he’s talking about and what happened to her, she learns that Lauper believed that they were doing something shady — and their lawyers and doctors convinced everyone else that he was crazy instead. Reenie reminds him that she can’t erase what Prader & Rockwell did to him, but he can make them answer for it.

Arriving at Brooks’ home, Colter breaks in and finds it empty. However, he finds some interesting material at his desk, including drawings that Alex did for Brooks and Sara Clark’s social media account pulled up on his home computer. Creepy doesn’t even begin to cover it. It isn’t long before Detective Monroe (Luvia Petersen) arrives and tells Colter that Brooks was incredibly helpful with the search. He did everything he could to avoid detection, which kept him from being a suspect. But after Randy tracked Brooks’ phone, Colter heads to the pinned location only to discover that it’s the Clark home. Sara is about to leave to pick up her husband, and Colter asks about the neighbor, Noah Rossi (Gord Rand), who has been teaching Alex to play chess. But to make things worse, Russy fits the same description as Brooks, and coupled with one of the drawings that Colter shows Sara, he believes that Alex may be inside the neighbor’s house.

Deciding to investigate, Colter sees that there has been a struggle in the home. He breaks in, and the pair walk inside to find blood on the toppled chess set. There is also ice cream on the counter and Brooks’ phone. Sara wonders if they were working together, but Colter isn’t so sure. He proposes an alternative theory: Brooks, looking through Alex’s drawings, believes that the neighbor may have taken him, so he goes to confront Noah on his own. This results in a physical confrontation before the victor escapes with Alex. As Colter and Sara look around, they discover that the neighbor has a telescope pointed right at Alex’s bedroom. “He wasn’t just watching your son, he was spending time with you, getting your trust,” Colter tells her, promising that he will find Alex and bring him home.

Colter calls Randy to see if Noah has any other properties on file. It turns out, Noah comes from money and has a history of loitering outside of preschools. But, just by happenstance, Colter sees a digital photo frame with a picture of Rossi at a cabin. Randy finds the location and sends Colter the address. Meanwhile, Noah and Alex sit together in the cabin and watch cartoons. When Alex asks if he should call his mom, Noah shuts him down. Going outside, he opens the trunk of the car to reveal that Brooks, the teacher, is still alive. They wrestle in the mud for a moment before Noah buries an axe into the teacher’s gut as Alex watches from the doorway in horror. The boy runs into the woods as Noah pursues him. Colter arrives just in time to help stabilize the teacher, heading into the woods after the kidnapper and his victim.

As Colter catches up with Noah, trying to coax Alex to come back to him, he attacks the kidnapper and pushes him to the ground. With his gun unholstered, he points the barrel right between the villain’s eyes, telling the boy to look away. For a moment, it seems like Colter is actually going to pull the trigger and put this low-life out of his misery. Frankly, we almost want him to, but his better angels get a hold of him. Instead, he knocks Noah out and rushes to comfort Alex, who is completely (and understandably) overwhelmed by the situation. Carrying the boy back just as the police arrive, and Alex is reunited with his parents. Meanwhile, Reenie tells Maxine (Kathleen Robertson) that there’s more to this legal case than they realized.

The next day, Colter arrives to check on the teacher, Mr. Brooks, in the hospital. He tells the teacher that he did the right thing by going after Alex. James arrives and thanks Colter for saving his son when nobody else could. He also offers an apology for his mismanaged temper early on, but Colter won’t have it. “You got a second chance, not a lot of dads get that,” the rewardist tells the thankful father, and it’s a beautiful thing to see. “The Field Trip” ends with Colter skipping town, another job well done.

Pros & Cons

• Seeing Colter question whether to take a life is a riveting way to finish up an episode
• Some actual progress on the Reenie plot is a welcome change
• I did not see the teacher twist coming

• Colter allowing Sara to investigate a potentially hostile situation with him after arguing with James about the same seems out of character

Robert Pattinson didn’t expect a quick red carpet joke to reignite “Twilight”-era drama, but that’s exactly what happened. While attending the Rome premiere of his upcoming film “The Drama” alongside Zendaya, the 39-year-old actor found himself at the center of a viral moment after answering what seemed like a harmless question about relationship “red flags.” What started as a lighthearted exchange quickly took on a life of its own online, as fans dissected every word and connected the comment to one of Hollywood’s most talked-about past relationships: Robert Pattinson’s romance with Kristen Stewart.

Fans Say Pattinson Was ‘100% Shading’ Kristen Stewart

The viral moment came when Pattinson was asked what he considers a red flag in a relationship.

“Like Zodiac sign? Aries,” he replied with feigned seriousness before laughing and quickly adding, “I’m joking. I just picked a random one!”

While the actor clearly tried to brush off the comment, it didn’t take long for fans to latch onto the remark. “100% shading Kristen Stewart,” someone claimed, while another chimed in, “Hahaha, Kristen Stewart is an Aries.”

Kristen Stewart Dragged In Brutal Comment Section Reactions

The conversation didn’t stop on social media, as readers also flooded the comments section of the Daily Mail’s report with strong opinions about the resurfaced moment. Some commenters took aim directly at Kristen Stewart, referencing her past controversy.

“Well, not being funny, but Kristen Stewart is a walking red flag, cheating with a married man isn’t exactly green flag behavior,” one person wrote.

Others echoed similar sentiments, with another adding, “She had an affair with a married man and then came out of the closet. She is a red flag.”

Additional comments continued to revisit the scandal, with one user stating, “Kristen has made a mockery of herself all on her own,” while another wrote, “She mocked herself to the world…. when she had an affair with a married man.”

Robert Pattinson And Kristen Stewart’s Love Story Still Makes Headlines

Pattinson and Stewart’s relationship remains one of the most talked-about celebrity romances of its time. The two met while filming the “Twilight” saga and dated for four years, becoming one of Hollywood’s most closely followed couples. Their off-screen romance only added to the franchise’s global appeal, making their eventual split even more headline-making.

Their relationship faced a major turning point in 2012 following Stewart’s cheating scandal involving “Snow White and the Huntsman” director Rupert Sanders.

At the time, Stewart publicly addressed the situation. “This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob,” she said. “I love him, I love him, I’m so sorry.”

Kristen Stewart Opened Up About Her Decision To Come Out

Years after her high-profile relationship with Pattinson, Stewart made headlines again, this time for a deeply personal decision. While hosting “Saturday Night Live” in February 2017, the actress publicly came out, famously telling Donald Trump that she’s “so gay, dude.”

Looking back on that moment, Stewart explained that her decision was about more than just her personal life. “It was less about sharing the details of my relationship,” she said in a teaser for her February 2 interview on “ABC News Live Prime with Linsey Davis.” “And more so acknowledging that there are people that don’t get full access to being alive because they’re hiding.”

Kristen Stewart Says She Was Warned Coming Out Could Hurt Her Career

Stewart went on to reflect on the pressures she faced behind the scenes, revealing that some people close to her had warned her about how being open could impact her career.

“I’ve experienced perspectives, I’ve had conversations with people I’ve known, loved and trusted and still do, who thought, ‘Your career would go better if you didn’t go outside holding your girlfriend’s hand,’” she shared. “And I was like, ‘So you want me to live a partial life? And you want me to uphold, perpetuate and sustain a system that excludes people?’ And I just can’t do that.”

The actress is currently enjoying her first year of marriage with wife Dylan Meyer, whom she also collaborated with on her upcoming directorial debut “The Chronology of Water.”

Meanwhile, Robert Pattinson is in a long-term relationship with Suki Waterhouse. They got engaged in late 2023, and they welcomed their first child (a daughter) in March 2024.

Blue Bloods actor and comedian Alex Duong has died after battling a rare form of cancer. He was 42.

TMZ reported on Sunday, March 29, that close family friend Hilarie Steele told the outlet Duong went into septic shock on Friday, March 27.

He died at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 28, at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, California. The actor was surrounded by his family and friends.

The outlet reported that fans can donate to a GoFundMe, created by Hilarie, to support Duong’s wife, Cristina, and 5-year-old daughter, Everest.

“We are overwhelmed with gratitude — because of you, we have already reached the original goal. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,” a message read on the fundraiser’s page on Sunday. “At the same time, with Alex passing, Christina’s situation has become more serious and the financial needs ahead are much greater than we could have anticipated. Alex’s memorial service, Everest ‘s education needs, ongoing care, daily support, and what lies ahead for his family mean we must continue raising funds beyond this initial goal.

The statement continued, “If you’ve already given, thank you — truly. If you’re able to share or contribute again, it would mean everything right now. Please keep Alex and his family in your prayers. Your support is carrying them through the hardest time of their lives. We will update you with respect to details of his ‘Celebration of Life.’”

Doung was diagnosed with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer affecting soft tissue in 2025, according to the Los Angeles Times. The outlet reported that Duong had a malignant mass blocking blood flow to his optic nerve.

Duong, according to the outlet, felt the tumor shrinking and the size of his eye had receded, but he still had monocular vision. He noted that he sees “black feathers” in his left field of vision. The outlet claimed that Duong owed more than $400,000 in medical costs.

Amid his battle, Doung shared that he hated being told he is strong. “I don’t want to be strong!” he told the outlet in 2025. “I just want to go tell my d*** jokes, make people laugh and hang out with my family.”

The outlet noted that Duong considers his family to be performers who have also reached out amid his health battle.

“Comedians always have each other’s backs when times are s***,” he said. “We know how hard it is to pine and struggle and scrape by in this lifestyle, just so we can do these jokes and keep improving. It’s a beautiful thing to see in this world; it really is.”

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Mayci Neeley and Mikayla Matthews are entering the chat after Demi Engemann’s singing with husband Bret Engemann went viral.

In an Instagram video uploaded on Sunday, March 29, Mikayla, 26, reacted to a fan who commented, “Can y’all sing true colors?” Mikayla wrote in text over the video, “99 percent accuracy.”

“True Colors are beautiful,” Mikayla sang, while Mayci, 31, joined in. “Like a rainbow.”

Mayci began laughing as the video came to an end. Mikayla captioned the post, “Sorry Mayci was a little breathy 👀😬.”

In season 4 of Mormon Wives, Demi and Bret were filmed heading to a recording studio to sing “True Colors.” The interaction made the rounds online primarily, due to Demi’s critique of Bret’s singing. Demi and Bret, however, were not heavily featured in season 4 of the Hulu show.

“I might come and go, but there are people that stay that want to go that don’t have the balls to go,” Demi quipped to TMZ in an interview published on March 13, without naming names. “I will always be the girl that walks away for my peace [and] mental health. Like, it’s my opportunity too, so I can do what I want.”

She added, “I don’t regret anything, and I’ll stand by my decision to come and go as I need to.”

One day prior to the remark, Demi’s former BFF Jessi Draper told E! News that “it wasn’t super surprising” to see her leave the show.

“Running off makes you look worse, in my opinion,” Jessi, 33, told the outlet on March 12. “I wasn’t surprised, because she does this a lot.”

As for whether Demi sees a future with Mormon Wives, she teased that her decision will depend on how she feels “moment to moment.”

“[It will be] based on what feels right to me, and where my mental health’s at and what’s best for my family,” she told TMZ, sharing that she has “so many fun things coming” in the interim. “I’m so excited, it’s something new, [but] I can’t say anything.”

Days after her interview, multiple outlets reported that season 5 of Mormon Wives halted production after Taylor Frankie Paul and ex Dakota Mortensen were involved in an alleged domestic violence dispute weeks prior in Utah. A spokesperson for the Draper City Police Department confirmed to Us Weekly that there is an open “domestic assault investigation” with the pair, noting that “allegations have been made in both directions.”

After news broke about Taylor and Dakota’s police investigation, their Mormon Wives costars reportedly met with Hulu and Disney executives to talk about a potential break from filming.

“It’s a dangerous situation, it’s a sad situation, and we don’t know how to navigate it because Taylor is our friend,” one cast member said during the call, NBC News reported, citing audio from the meeting.

Mikayla, for her part, confirmed MomTok’s decision to halt filming. “It was a decision that all of us girls came up with and agreed on,” she wrote via her Instagram Story. “We didn’t feel comfortable filming with everything that was happening.”

Britney Spears is spending time with her eldest son, Preston, after her recent DUI arrest.

In photos shared via Instagram on Sunday, March 29, Spears was all smiles as she stood next to her 20-year-old son and tilted her head to the side. Preston gave a closed-mouth smile as he wrapped his arm around his mom’s shoulder.

Spears styled her long blonde hair down, wearing a pink cropped shirt and a pair of black shades, while Preston donned a white T-shirt. In another snap, Preston did not smile as Spears looked straight ahead.

She captioned the post, “🌹🗡️🌹⛳️.”

Nickelodeon fans — get ready to take a walk down memory lane.

Drake Bell is firmly in is nostalgia era and fans are loving every second of it. Fresh off a “Drake & Josh” mini reunion in Las Vegas, he kept the throwbacks coming with a surprise link up with another Nickelodeon star from the 90s on the show’s iconic set before it gets torn down.

Bell shared a few videos on social media that sent longtime viewers into a nostalgic frenzy. Between the unexpected reunions and the viral moments, it’s a full-circle vibe that’s hitting many right in their childhood memories.

Drake Bell Reunited With Josh Peck In Sin City Recently

About a week ago, Josh Peck, the other half of the infamous “Drake & Josh,” shared a photo on Instagram that instantly grabbed attention. Simply captioned, “Dads,” the photo is of Peck with Bell posing in the Poodle Room at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas. It didn’t take long for the likes to start popping up and nostalgia to fill the comment section.

The Fontainebleau wrote what we were all thinking, “The reunion we needed.” M Resort, also in Las Vegas, simply said, “Reuniteddd.”

One viewer said, “We can achieve world peace.” Another person added, “Yoo throwback to my childhood! Just missing Megan here.” And one other shared, “Hug me brothers.” One viewer let the nostalgia get the best of the situation saying, “Ages 12-15 these dudes carried my life.”

There were also requests to do another show together.

“PLEASE MAKE A NEW SHOW WHERE Y’ALL ARE THE DADS!” one person wrote. Another added, “If Hannah Montana can do it, our brothas can do it.” Another viewer said, “We don’t even need a whole show a 30-minute special would suffice in my heart.”

‘I Got Into Nick On Sunset’

Bell did an Instagram Live with another walk down memory lane for fans. And this Live happened just before he was heading to Vegas (where we now know he spent some time with Peck.)

“All the same. This is the same paint. This was all a big raised stage,” Bell said before he explained where he was at. “You’re not gonna believe this. I just got into Nick on Sunset. It’s completely shut down. They’re tearing this place down, and I got in, and here I am.”

He then panned over to where the “Drake & Josh” bedroom and living room sets were at while filming, as well as the green room and other well-known spots from the hit Nickelodeon show.

Bell then told a fun nostalgic story. You could hear it in his voice that he was really going back to relive some good times.

“You know that picture that I have of Josh and I have like a cigarette, and I ask someone for a cigarette. I thought it would be funny because it says, ‘No Smoking,’ so I was like ‘hey, give me a cigarette,’” he said. “And I just have like a cigarette in my hand, but yeah dude, the ‘No Smoking’ sign’s right there from the picture, dude.”

Drake Bell Said ‘It Feels Like Yesterday’

When reminded how many years ago it was, Bell said, “it feels like yesterday” and “it feels like we’re on hiatus and they’re gonna bring all the sets back and everything’s gonna be built, and we’re gonna start in September.”

Bell continued to walk around the set, sharing which part of the “Drake & Josh” rooms they are in. He got super excited when he realized he was in their old bedroom.

“This is where I climb up the ladder,” he reminisced. “The bed is like a little further back. Red couch is right here.”

He said “the hairs are raising off” as he showed his arm and said, “I can’t even talk.” His tour continued with him visibly going back to a time that has so many nostalgic memories for him.

Bell said that while he was in LA, he thought he would try to get inside Nick on Sunset and was surprised that he was able to. He shared stories about his time on that set and was clearly blown away with the memories that surfaced.

After walking through the building, he said, “I don’t want to leave.” He then instantly gasped when he stumbled into the casting office and sharing that “it’s the same.”

“This is where you would audition if you audition for ‘Drake & Josh,’” he shockingly said. “This is unreal.”

As he continued to search around his old stomping ground where his career really took off so many years ago, you could see just how this little tour was affecting him in his feels.

“I’m out of breath. This is unbelievable. This is all my childhood,” he said. “This is all my memories.”

His Instagram Live that can now be viewed on his IG page as a post, continued with more memories and more inside stories about Bell’s time on the show.

During the Live, he called his TV dad, Jonathan Goldstein, which brought even more nostalgia and memories for not only Bell but also for the fans watching.

Fans Had A Lot To Say About Drake Bell’s Walk Down Memory Lane

Bell’s Live captured tons of attention from fans who loved seeing him walk down the “Drake & Josh” memory lane and with so much enthusiasm and love.

“So cool. Love how excited you are,” one fan wrote. Another said, “How heartbreaking and beautiful for you. What a healing experience!!!! You’re the best.”

And there were many other comments that shared the same vibe.

“Thanks for saving the live and sharing the enthusiasm,” one viewer said. Another wrote, “Love how him and Jonathan actually have a father/son relationship.” One other shared, “FULL CIRCLE MOMENT.”

Cue One More Nostalgic Moment

As if that all wasn’t enough to send 90s Nickelodeon fans into a total frenzy, Bell shared a TikTok video to top it off.

“Wow I thought this place was torn down! This is where we shot it all! Nick On Sunset! We were walking by and never thought that it’d be so simple to get in but we found a way!” he captioned the video set to his hit song, “Found a Way.”

But that’s not all – there’s a special guest in the video with Bell that had everyone in their feels. The video was filmed on the old set at Nick on Sunset with another beloved Nick star.

“First: I will never not support Drake Bell. Second: IS THAT VICTORIA JUSTICE?” one fan wrote in the comments. Another said, “Drake and Victoria?!!” And one other wrote, “Blessed by the Nickelodeon legends.”

The same video was also shared on Bell’s IG page, where fans also had the same excitement for the duo reuniting.

“Drake and Victoria? I love everything about this,” one person wrote. Another said, “We want them to do a musical collaboration!!! Drake Bell ft. Victoria Justice.” One other viewer shared something many were likely thinking, “The crossover we didn’t know we needed. This heals me.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s son Joseph Baena emerged victorious in several categories for his bodybuilding debut.

Although Joseph primarily grew up with his housekeeper mother, Mildred Baena, he’s the only child who has mostly taken after his famous father, who also won several bodybuilding competitions back in the day.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has also returned to the gym, as reports suggest he’ll be appearing on the third installment of “Conan the Barbarian.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Son Follows In His Footsteps With Major Win

Schwarzenegger’s love child, Baena, followed in his father’s footsteps as he made his competitive bodybuilding debut at the NPC Natural Colorado State competition and won in several categories.

The event, which was held on Saturday at Pinnacle Performing Arts Center in Denver, Colorado, saw Joseph emerge victorious in the Men’s Open Bodybuilding Heavy Weight Class, Men’s Classic Physique True Novice, and Men’s Classic Physique Novice. He cemented his dominant display by clinching the silver medal in the Men’s Classic Physique Open Class C.

Joseph’s success comes just days after he and his father were seen in the gym perfecting one of the “Commando” star’s signature moves.

In photos obtained by the news outlet, a shirtless Joseph can be seen flexing his muscles as Schwarzenegger attempted to help him perfect his posture.

Joseph Baena Talked About How Supportive Arnold Schwarzenegger Has Been

Earlier this month, Joseph revealed that he packed on 18lbs of muscle in just eight weeks.

According to reports, athletes who enroll for the competition not only undergo drug tests, but also take a 30-minute polygraph to ensure they haven’t taken any performance enhancers.

In his heydays, his father, Schwarzenegger, was much the same, winning seven Mr. Olympia titles before transforming into one of Hollywood’s top action stars, and eventually politics.

Joseph previously spoke about how the former California governor has been supportive of his career and what it means to him.

“He’s an amazing father. He’s a great person to look up to, and he’s the smartest man I know,” the half-Guatemalan athlete told ET in 2023. “It’s been a great journey, and he’s always been so supportive of whatever I do. So, I’m just really grateful to have a dad like him.”

Back in 2011, Schwarzenegger confessed that he secretly fathered Joseph after a “one-night stand” with his former housekeeper, Mildred Baena.

The revelation brought about the end of his 25-year marriage to Maria Shriver, and their divorce was finalized in 2021.

The former couple shares four children: Katherine, Christina, Patrick, and Christopher.

Joseph Baena Doesn’t Ask His Famous Dad For ‘Favours’

Joseph seems bent on making his father proud, but doing it in his own way, as he doesn’t want handouts.

He and the veteran actor first bonded over their love for fitness, and the action star gifted him a copy of “The Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding,” which he co-authored in 1985.

“My dad is old-school; he doesn’t believe in handouts. He believes hard work pays off, and so do I,” he told Men’s Health in 2022.

Joseph continued, “I love the word honour, and I’m very prideful in the sense that if I use my dad’s contacts or ask him for favours, I wonder what honour is that gonna bring me?”

Arnold Schwarzenegger To Reprise Role In Third Installment Of ‘Conan The Barbarian’

Meanwhile, Schwarzenegger would be reprising his decade-long role as Conan in a third installment of “Conan the Barbarian.”

The 78-year-old actor has reportedly returned to the gym in order to prepare for the role, many years after he did justice to the first part.

He announced earlier this month at the Arnold sports festival in Columbus, Ohio, that director Christopher McQuarrie, best known for his work on the “Mission: Impossible” franchise, would be in charge of bringing Conan to life.

“It’s a great story,” he said, explaining that after sitting on the throne for 40 years, “Conan gets complacent, and now he gets forced out of the kingdom, slowly. Then there’s conflict, of course, and then he somehow comes back, and then there’s all kinds of madness and violence and magic and creatures.”

“Now, of course, you have all the special effects, and the studio system has plenty of money to make those movies really big,” he added, per The Guardian.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Has Been ‘Pushing Himself To The Limits’ For His Upcoming Role

A source told the National Enquirer that Schwarzenegger has been “pushing himself to the limits” to be ready for the role, as it depends on him “really looking like a legendary barbarian-slash-king.”

“Gold’s Gym just sold almost all of their L.A. locations, but they held the original gym in Venice, where Arnold still works out to this day,” the source said.

They added, “That’s where he’s going to forge the body to take on this role again, come hell or high water! Failure is not an option.”

Schwarzenegger made one of such returns to acting in 2019 for “Terminator: Dark Fate,” although it didn’t perform well. He has other works in the pipeline like “Kung Fury 2,” alongside Michael Fassbender, and “The Man With the Bag.”

Pro golfer Gary Woodland and his wife, Gabby, have been together for at least 15 years — married for 10 — and have rarely left each other’s sides.

The couple share three kids together, Jaxson, Maddox and Lennox.

Gary and Gabby have had their fair share of ups and downs throughout the years — from the highs of Gary’s golf triumphs, to the lows of his struggles with recovering from his 2023 brain surgery — but they have stuck together through it all and seem to be stronger than ever.

On March 29, 2026, Gary won the Texas Children’s Houston Open, his first PGA Tour win since the surgery and his fifth career PGA win.

2011

While it’s unclear when the two officially met, the couple was first linked in 2011 when they were seen together while Gary was competing in the World Cup, which he went on to win.

2016

The couple married in 2016 in Turks and Caicos, as Gary continued to establish himself as one of the world’s best golfers. At that point in their relationship, Gary had already won two PGA Tour tournaments, the Transitions Championship in 2011 and the Reno-Taho Open in 2013.

2017

A year after tying the knot, Gary and Gabby announced that they were expecting twins. Tragically, they lost one of the babies after complications with the pregnancy. The second, Jaxson, was born prematurely but healthy.

Months later, Gary was inducted into the Topeka Hall of Fame, where he took the opportunity to pay tribute to Gabby.

“I do want to thank a couple special people in my life and have really helped me get to where I’m at today, and that starts with my wife who is my rock,” Gary said. “She’s taught me more over the last 14 weeks about family and strength and fighting, dealing with the pregnancy we’ve been dealing with. I can’t thank her enough; I love her to death.”

2019

The couple welcomed identical twin girls, Maddox and Lennox, two years after their first child.

2023

In August 2023, Gary announced that he had been diagnosed with a brain tumor and underwent major surgery in September.

Gabby has previously said that navigating the couple’s various challenges has strengthened their relationship.

“The love that we have for each other now is one hundred times what it was a year ago,” Gabby said in season three of the Netflix documentary, Full Swing. “A thousand times what it was when we got married.”

2024

Gary returned to the golf course for the first time since his surgery at the 2024 Masters tournament. Gabby, of course, was right by his side.

He shared a photo of him with his family at Augusta National.

“Always a special day with the family,” he captioned the post.

2026

In March, Gary opened up about his ongoing struggles with post traumatic stress disorder, stemming from his brain surgery.

“I can’t waste energy anymore hiding this, and I’m blessed with a lot of support out here on the Tour,” Woodland said in a March 2026 interview. “Everyone’s just been amazing. Every week I come out and everyone’s so excited and happy that I’m back. I hear that every week — it’s so nice to see you past this, it’s so nice to see you 100 percent — and I appreciate that love and support. But inside, I feel like I’m dying, and I feel like I’m living a lie.”

Later in the month, Gary won the Texas Children’s Houston Open, his first PGA Tour win since the surgery and his fifth career PGA win.

After the victory, an emotional Gary shared a hug with Gabby on the 18th green.

There are many thrilling fantasy series available to stream these days, but Prime Video’s The Wheel of Time is undeniably among the best. The three-season epic is based on Robert Jordan‘s lengthy book series of the same name, which provides all the action fantasy fans could ask for. First premiering in 2021, The Wheel of Time was one of the many shows aiming to take Game of Thrones‘ place after the HBO series ended, but it doesn’t try to replicate what came before, carving its own path with a sprawling fantasy world full of magic and unique lore.

The Wheel of Time features an ever-growing ensemble cast, beginning with a group of five small-town friends whom the enigmatic Aes Sedai Moiraine (Rosamund Pike) whisks away after realizing they have important roles to play in the coming conflict against the Dark One. This concept provides a high-stakes story full of unexpected twists. Although the series should have continued much longer, its three seasons have a lot to offer. With an expansive world, a unique story, and lovable characters, The Wheel of Time ranks among the best fantasy series around, despite not reaching the level of popularity others have.

‘The Wheel of Time’ Boasts an Expansive Fantasy World for Its Unique Story

The Wheel of Time quickly introduces a massive world, with deep lore and an impressive range of cultures that enrich the narrative. The overarching plotline features the characters getting wrapped up in a centuries-old battle between good and evil, as Rand (Josha Stradowski), Egwene (Madeleine Madden), Matt (Barney Harris and Dónal Finn), Nynaeve (Zoë Robins), and Perrin (Marcus Rutherford) each become central figures in the fight against rising darkness. With the Dark One’s followers, the Forsaken, chasing the heroes as they travel the world, no one is ever safe.

These lethal stakes add heightened drama to the story, which the series takes advantage of, introducing several elaborate cultures ranging from the Aiel to the Seanchan. These societies have their own priorities, fashions, histories, and approach to magic, which makes each new culture a compelling addition to the series, but also highlights just how difficult a task it is for Rand and his friends to unite the world in their war against the Dark One.

‘The Wheel of Time’s Characters Make the Fantasy Show a Must-Watch

While its thrilling story is reason alone to binge the series, The Wheel of Time wouldn’t be nearly as successful without its lovable characters and talented cast. Each lead has a distinct trait — Rand is protective; Matt, humorous; Nynaeve, stubborn; Perrin, quietly strong; and Egwene, ambitious — making the characters relatable while occasionally creating conflict. Though the cast grows quickly, the core characters remain the center of the story, becoming the heart of the series as they navigate their destinies alongside increasing political scheming. This allows the audience to become attached to each character, elevating the emotional investment as each of them embarks on dangerous missions.

Although it only ran for three seasons, Prime Video’s The Wheel of Time allowed its characters to grow into the leaders that the world needs through costly trials and heartbreaking losses. Throughout the series, the actors earn tremendous moments to display their characters’ evolution, such as Egwene’s Season 2 arc, where she truly comes into her power, or Perrin’s acceptance of his role as a leader in Season 3. With so many elements to the characters’ various journeys all playing into an epic conflict, Prime Video’s adaptation manages to balance both individual stories and world-shifting stakes. The Wheel of Time may have taken some time to reach its peak, but the three-season series delivers everything that fantasy fans could ask for.
