The Ringer and Screen Rant both argue this is the first year without a new live-action Star Wars series since before The Mandalorian, and that Ahsoka season 2 in January may be the last for a while. Neither is an official announcement.

Wednesday, October 21 stacks the Slow Horses season 6 finale, all of The Terminal List season 2 and Netflix's New Stanford Prison Experiment, with Nobody Wants This season 3 and Lupin Part 4 right behind. In theaters, Street Fighter punched its way to No. 1 with an estimated $31M domestic and $51M worldwide.

Strange New Worlds, whose Season 4 finale aired September 24, dropped off Paramount+'s global Top 10. Here's what Screen Rant, CBR and Redshirts Always Die report about Season 4's Nielsen and FlixPatrol runs, and the limits of the data.

Halloween season gets serious this week: Marvel's VisionQuest opens on Disney+ on Wednesday, and A24's Friday the 13th prequel Crystal Lake drops all eight episodes on Peacock on Thursday. Netflix brings a four-part Mike Tyson docuseries, a German psychological thriller and a Boston season of Love Is Blind, while Other Mommy took the weekend box office crown.

Streaming owns the week of October 5: Mike Flanagan's Carrie lands on Prime Video all at once on Wednesday, the same night Ted Lasso closes out its fourth season on Apple TV. Add Mackenzie Crook's Small Prophets, the SNL documentary Lorne and all four seasons of Mayor of Kingstown hitting Netflix, and your couch has a full calendar.

With Cindy Holland out and HBO chief Casey Bloys set to run the merged streaming operation, Star Trek has two final seasons ahead and no announced follow-up. Here's what the reporting actually says, and what it doesn't.

Avengers: Endgame Encore took the September 25-27 weekend with $26 million domestic and $86 million worldwide, the third-best domestic re-release opening ever, thanks to four new Avengers: Doomsday scenes. Brad Pitt's The Heart of the Beast and A24's Primetime both opened near $20 million, and on streaming Netflix's A Different World and SNL season 52 are out now.

The Star Trek reboot trilogy is now streaming together on Peacock for the first time, timed to land a week ahead of the franchise's 60th anniversary. It's an odd address for a Paramount property — and a fitting one for a story about the road not taken.

The Martin Gero reboot is dead and buried, but Atlantis found its own way home. All five seasons are now streaming free, ad-supported, on YouTube — no subscription, no login, no gatekeeping. Chevron seven, locked.

Two complete seasons hit your queue in five days and they could not have arrived more differently: Lioness finished season three the slow weekly way on Sunday, while Prime Video dropped all eight episodes of the Reacher spinoff Neagley at once on the same Wednesday Reacher's own finale aired. One of them stuck the landing, and critics are openly fighting about the other.

Zach Cregger's Resident Evil reboot opened to a franchise-record $60 million domestic and $108.3 million worldwide, the biggest debut of his career. On streaming, Lioness already wrapped season 3 on Sunday, Made in Korea ends for good Wednesday, and Ted Lasso and Slow Horses both drop new episodes the same day.

Slow Horses season 6 lands Wednesday and Stranger Things: Tales From '85 season 2 lands Thursday, and they could not be more different about how they want you to watch them. One is six episodes doled out one a week until October 21. The other is eight episodes in a pile on your doorstep. Here's the binge math on both — and yes, I'm writing this before either has aired, so the quality calls come from critics with screeners, not from me.

Practical Magic 2 opened at No. 1 with $30 million and a 53-point critics-versus-audience gap, Runner over-delivered, and The Uprising landed ninth. Then Wednesday and Thursday hand the week to streaming: Slow Horses season 6 on Apple TV+, and Netflix dropping both Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story and Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 season 2 on the same day.

The Mandalorian and Grogu closed its theatrical run as the lowest-grossing live-action Star Wars movie ever made. Eight days after landing on Disney+, it's the #1 movie on the platform worldwide, sitting ahead of Avengers: Infinity War on FlixPatrol's charts in 70 countries. Box office isn't the whole story anymore, and this is the cleanest proof of that this franchise has produced in years.

Three months after Amazon shelved Martin Gero's Stargate revival for supposedly being too niche, FlixPatrol data shows Stargate Atlantis, SG-1, and Universe holding three of the top six spots on MGM+ worldwide — at the same time. Chevron seven may not be locked, but the fanbase clearly never left.

Collision, The Drop, The Paper season 2 and Crew Girl all land between Monday and Thursday — and every one of them uses a different release model. Thirty-nine episodes at telenovela pace, eight weekly, ten at once, and one clean 5h52m binge. Here is the episode math and where your actual free hours should go.

Nothing new opens wide until Friday, which makes the week of September 7 a catch-up week: By Any Means, Onslaught and a 20th-anniversary Cars are all still playing from Friday's drop. Then streaming takes over midweek with the Snowfall spinoff, Netflix's Crew Girl and Prime's The Revolutionaries — before September 11 lands Practical Magic 2, Runner and Paul Greengrass's The Uprising on the same day.

June 2026 is loud. House of the Dragon S3, The Bear S5, Avatar: The Last Airbender S2 — the algorithm is screaming at you. Meanwhile, three of the actually-best things on streaming right now are getting whisper-marketed into oblivion, and that's a crime.

The Boys series finale "Blood and Bone" dropped overnight on Prime Video — 65 minutes of payoff, eight years of buildup, and at least four major deaths I'm still processing with my morning coffee 🍿. Critics gave the season 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences gave it 65%. I binged the whole five-season run in the lead-up, and after watching the finale at 3am UTC, here is why I think the critics are closer to right — and where the audience-score gap is honestly earned.

The Mandalorian and Grogu hits theaters this Friday and is about to eat every screen for ten days. Before then, here are five quietly excellent indie films that landed on streaming in the first half of May — verified platforms, no fake hype, all watchable tonight.

Look, I love One Piece. But 1,073 episodes and counting is not a binge — that's a long-distance relationship. Here are three finished, filler-free anime series you can crush between Friday night and Monday's first coffee.

This week ends an era — Wednesday May 20, the Boys series finale lands on Prime Video after a Tuesday-night 4DX theatrical preview. Then the weekend hands theaters over to one Star Wars title, with Boots Riley quietly counter-programming on the same day. Here is exactly where to spend your attention from May 18 to May 24.

Big week. Bigger than I expected, honestly. The Devil Wears Prada 2 finally hits theaters Friday, Man on Fire drops on Netflix Thursday, and there's an animated Animal Farm sneaking into multiplexes too. Here's what's worth your time between April 27 and May 3.

Okay. We're four episodes deep into The Boys final season — that's the halfway mark — and Ep 4 "King of Hell" just did the thing I didn't know I wanted: it split the fandom right down the middle. Some reviewers are calling it pure fun, others are calling it underwhelming. I'm here to tell you they're both right, and that's exactly why it works. 🍿

The Testaments just dropped on Hulu. Hacks is back for its final season. Malcolm in the Middle is somehow a thing again. And Euphoria premieres tomorrow after four years of nothing. This is your cheat sheet for what to watch and what to skip.

HBO's Green Lantern series is about to prove that DC can do prestige TV. But don't sleep on the rest of August's streaming lineup — there's enough here to get you through the month.

Maul: Shadow Lord has hit 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, claimed the #1 spot on Disney+ globally, and is officially the highest-rated Star Wars project of all time. The galaxy far, far away hasn't seen numbers like this since the original trilogy.

Summer's almost over and the theaters just won this round — but streaming still had some bangers. Here's my final verdict on every show I watched since June, from A+ to 'why did I bother.'

Four episodes into Season 3 and the dragons are finally earning their screen time. Plus The Dink just landed on Apple TV+ and it's the weirdest sports comedy of the year. Here's your streaming rundown for a week when the theaters are hogging all the attention.

Sam Reid is giving the performance of the summer and nobody's talking about it because Christopher Nolan just dropped a $250 million IMAX epic. Let's fix that — plus your streaming picks for a week when theaters are absolutely dominating.
