C.S. Lewis’s beloved Narnia books have been made into movies before – The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005), Prince Caspian (2008), and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010) – but Disney and Walden Media stopped making them due to lower ticket sales and disagreements. Now, with Netflix supporting a fresh start, Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew, directed by Greta Gerwig, the series is poised to become a major competitor to Harry Potter. Here’s what makes it likely to succeed.
The first Princess Diaries movie came out in 2001 and was a big hit. It told the story of Mia Thermopolis (played by Anne Hathaway), an ordinary teenager from San Francisco who discovers she’s a princess. The movie helped launch Anne Hathaway’s career, and the series as a whole became a beloved, modern fairytale for many young people in the early 2000s, with two popular sequels following the original.
After a four-year break, the third and final season of Sam Levinson’s often-discussed series, Euphoria, is back – and it’s already attracting negative attention. The HBO show boasts a talented cast including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer, and Alexa Demie, but recent headlines have focused on Sweeney for reasons that aren’t positive.
Taylor Sheridan’s most popular creation, the epic Western drama Yellowstone, was a massive hit during its run and led to several related shows. These include the prequel series 1883 and 1923, as well as the spinoff Lawmen: Marshals. While Lawmen: Marshals is doing well on CBS and fans are excited for Yellowstone‘s continuation, Dutton Ranch, it’s clear that the storylines within the Yellowstone universe have become somewhat formulaic over time.
Considered a top pick by ScreenRant for weekend viewing on Apple TV, this critically praised series launched with an impressive 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, making it one of the best shows of 2026. Adapted from a popular novel, it was created by David E. Kelley, the acclaimed producer of shows like Big Little Lies and Presumed Innocent. However, what truly sets this breakout Apple TV series apart is its exceptional cast – arguably its strongest feature.
Sam Raimi is a highly respected director, particularly known for his work in horror, including the Evil Dead films. He famously directed all three Spider-Man movies with Tobey Maguire.

Before that, his last horror film was Drag Me to Hell, released in 2009.
While many of these shows have been popular with both audiences and critics, they don’t quite live up to the perfect scores some people give them. Viewers often see more meaning in these series than is actually there, and sometimes even dismiss truly excellent shows in order to praise them. These shows are enjoyable, but they’re the most overrated TV series of the past ten years, and it’s not a close competition.
Since Leon Vance’s departure, NCIS fans have been wondering who will take over as director. While CBS hasn’t made a final decision, many viewers believe Tim McGee is the best choice. He’s been with the team for years and has the experience needed for the job. If McGee is promoted, though, the team will need to find someone new to fill his old position.
