The duo were a part of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and their chemistry was undeniable, although nothing romantic has happened yet. Meloni left SVU after 12 seasons, and then he came back with his own spinoff, which aired for five seasons. In a new interview with People, Law & Order: SVU showrunner Michele Fazekas gave a positive update on a potential Benson and Stabler reunion.
As a huge fan of fantasy and television, I truly believe Game of Thrones was in a league of its own for most of its run – it really felt like the best fantasy series ever made. Yes, the ending was definitely disappointing, but it didn’t ruin everything. HBO still managed to build on that world and find success with new stories in Westeros, which proves how strong the original series was.
Many popular shows wouldn’t exist without the groundwork laid by Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Series like Supernatural, Grimm, Riverdale, Lucifer, Pretty Little Liars, Evil, The CW’s Nancy Drew, and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina all owe a debt to its innovative format. Even the recent announcement of Netflix’s Scooby-Doo: Origins – a live-action, young adult mystery – clearly draws inspiration from the character dynamics, humor, teen drama, and spooky mysteries that made Buffy so unique.
Throughout its eight seasons, Rick and Morty has introduced many memorable villains, but Evil Morty has consistently been the most popular. He’s now back for season 9! The season premiere quickly jumped back into the show’s signature chaos, and Evil Morty’s return immediately made the episode a major event.
While it’s tempting to leave classic movies untouched, some truly deserve sequels – particularly those that ended with unresolved storylines. Some of these films were initially dismissed or didn’t perform well in theaters, but have since gained a following and feel incomplete. With Arnold Schwarzenegger preparing to reprise his role as Conan, here are four other fantasy movies that would benefit from a follow-up.
It’s important to remember that Memorial Day weekend includes four days because the holiday is always on a Monday, unlike a typical three-day weekend. While The Mandalorian & Grogu had strong numbers, overall results were down compared to recent years. In three of the last four years, a movie opened during this weekend and landed in the top 10 – including big successes like Top Gun: Maverick (2022), The Little Mermaid (2023), and Lilo & Stitch (2025). Last year, the live-action Lilo & Stitch was a particularly big hit with audiences.
Despite the intricacies of Nate’s personality, his disturbing actions weren’t excused or justified. Instead, his complex character allowed viewers to understand the origins of his harmful behavior. The details of his life made him feel incredibly realistic, and that’s what made him so terrifying.
The new horror movie, from Blumhouse Productions and distributed by Focus Features, opened in theaters on May 15th and earned $17.2 million in its first weekend. It then surprised everyone by making $21.5 million in its second weekend – a 26% increase. This is unusual for a widely released film, and especially rare for horror movies, which typically see a drop in viewers after the first week.
Fans were thrilled to learn in October 2024 that John Krasinski would reprise his role as Jack Ryan in a new movie, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War, released directly on Amazon Prime Video. Directed by Andrew Bernstein, who also worked on the show’s second season, and co-written by Krasinski, the film premiered on May 20, 2026. While critics had mixed reactions, fans, along with the cast and crew who enjoyed making it, loved the action-packed adventure. The success of Ghost War may have also hinted at future installments in the Jack Ryan franchise.
Before becoming famous for The Walking Dead, Andrew Lincoln starred in the first season of the British action series Strike Back, which first aired in the UK in May 2010. It later came to the US as Strike Back: Origins in October 2013. Although he only appeared in six episodes, his performance in the show remains memorable.
