Although political events impact our everyday lives, it’s surprisingly difficult to create a compelling and dramatic story about the inner workings of politics. This could be why Netflix’s 2025 thriller, Zero Day, didn’t succeed, even with a hugely talented cast including Robert De Niro, Lizzy Caplan, Dan Stevens, Jesse Plemons, Connie Britton, and Matthew Modine.
Look, after the somewhat divisive finale of Game of Thrones, I think a lot of us wondered if the franchise had run its course. But HBO has proven there’s still life in Westeros! House of the Dragon was a strong start, and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms looks promising. They’re clearly not done yet – we’re hearing whispers about the Jon Snow series potentially being revived, and, excitingly, an Aegon’s Conquest movie is officially in the works. It seems the realm of fire and ice still has plenty of stories to tell.
Ted Hastings, who has been stepping back from daily operations to concentrate on real estate and charitable work, won’t be running for re-election to the Netflix board. His current term ends at the company’s June meeting.

So, there’s been a lot of talk about another mummy movie, and people keep mixing it up with ours. We really wanted to make it clear this isn’t that one! We’re going for straight-up horror, and we wanted to get back to what made the original mummy films scary. Think Boris Karloff in the 1930s – that was pure horror, right? That’s the vibe we’re going for with a modern spin. That’s why we reached out to Lee early on; we felt his style and vision were exactly what we needed to make our mummy movie stand out and be truly unique.
During a Pentagon prayer service, Pete Hegseth either intentionally misled attendees or demonstrated a surprising lack of awareness. He recited a passage almost exactly as it appears in the movie Pulp Fiction, claiming it was a standard prayer used by Combat Search and Rescue teams (CSAR 2517) and originally based on a verse from Ezekiel 25:17. He then proceeded with his prayer.
Stephen King enjoys a variety of horror series, including the terrifying Marianne and Mike Flanagan’s Midnight Mass on Netflix. He also gave high marks to M. Night Shyamalan’s Servant, praising its unsettling and unique take on a classic horror theme.
The recent surge of Marvel TV shows connected to the Multiverse Saga hasn’t been a complete success. Secret Invasion, initially promising with its story of shape-shifting Skrulls infiltrating Earth and Nick Fury’s attempt to thwart them, ultimately disappointed many viewers and is considered one of the MCU’s weaker projects.
Kayce’s new show, a spin-off of Yellowstone, follows him as he joins the US Marshals. Although it currently has the lowest ratings on Rotten Tomatoes compared to other Yellowstone series, it’s become the most talked-about.

The CBS series has continued to gain popularity since its debut.
Tom Cruise is set to return for a third Top Gun movie, Paramount announced at CinemaCon today, according to Variety. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer will also be back, and Ehren Kruger, who helped write Maverick, is already working on the script. While a third film was discussed as early as 2024, it wasn’t certain to happen. Given Bruckheimer’s history with successful franchises, many believed a Top Gun sequel was likely, it was just a question of timing.
Although the series wasn’t as popular as some other Disney animated shows, it did build a loyal fanbase. Viewers and critics alike enjoyed the show’s humor and the rich story it told.
