These successful anime all share a common thread: they’re driving forces for the future. They indicate where the industry is headed in 2026, sparking conversations, raising the bar for quality and speed, and influencing what both creators and fans will focus on next. Essentially, they’re revitalizing the industry. If you want a clear idea of what 2026 will bring for anime, these are the shows to watch.

The first season of the show received widespread praise, and while the second season didn’t quite live up to expectations, it was still very popular on HBO Max. Discussions about a third season began in 2023 when Nicole Kidman announced it would happen. Now, the show’s creator, David E. Kelley, has hinted in a recent interview with USA Today that production could begin this fall.

As a huge fan, I always loved watching Harry, Ron, and Hermione grow up, and I especially enjoyed experiencing all their adventures with them, even knowing something dangerous was always on the horizon. When you first watch the Harry Potter movies, you get the big picture, but it’s amazing how many little details you pick up on when you rewatch the whole series. It really adds another layer to the story!

While Hulu is adding a lot of new content this month, not everything is worth watching. With so many movies becoming available, it’s impossible to see them all! Luckily, the truly great ones really shine and are easy to identify – many are award-winners or well-known classics.

The team behind the movie The 40-Year-Old Virgin likely sparked some awkward talks between parents and children after the title appeared in TV commercials. The film centers on Andy Stitzer (played by Steve Carell), whose age and inexperience with relationships are the main focus. When his coworkers discover he’s never been with a woman, his life is turned upside down.

This film is surprisingly gentle and sweet, especially considering its strange story. The premise suggests a complex plot, but the script by Dan Beers (and no, not that Bacon!) is often surprisingly simple and struggles to find a consistent tone. The movie jumps between casual murders and attempts at sincere, emotional conversations that feel out of place. However, the actors – a genuine family who have worked together for years – have great chemistry, which saves the somewhat weak writing and makes the film enjoyable, even if it’s not particularly exciting.

According to Variety, Paramount decided not to move forward with John Landis’ pitch for a new G.I. Joe movie because of differing creative visions. Landis explained that his idea came about unexpectedly, stemming from a unique and unconventional concept. He envisioned a world where Cobra, the villainous organization, had actually won, and G.I. Joe had become nothing more than a forgotten legend. Landis noted that this kind of development is common with large franchises, and he was surprised the news even became public. Despite the project not moving forward, he expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to have pitched it.

Long before Tim Burton directed his first film, another British horror movie, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, displayed many of the same creative touches he’d become known for. Surprisingly, it hasn’t gotten much attention from his fans, despite being a strong influence and deserving of recognition.
