For reasons that only Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, and Jane Kaczmarek know, Disney Plus has ordered four episodes of a new Malcolm in the Middle revival in which “Malcolm (Muniz) and his daughter are drawn into the family’s chaos when Hal (Cranston) and Lois (Kaczmarek) demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party.”

Reality TV contestants have typically been classified as independent contractors or even volunteers rather than employees whose labor is essential to their shows’ production.

That distinction keeps reality stars from unionizing, but that might change now that the National Labor Relations Board has launched a complaint against Love Is Blind accusing the Netflix show of “several labor violations, including unlawful contractual terms related to confidentiality and noncompete provisions.”

Max has been available in a handful of European countries since earlier this year, but now that Warner Bros. Discovery and Sky have re-upped their distribution partnership, the one to watch is finally launching in the UK and Ireland some time in 2026.

Most everyone’s feeling festive in the new trailer for Doctor Who’s latest Christmas special, but the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) himself seems to be dealing with an existential crisis.

Neither he nor his new buddy Joy (Nicola Coughlan) seem to know why there are two of him at the same place and time. But they’ll probably have a blast figuring it out when the epidode debuts on December 25th.

Subtitled episodes of Dragon Ball Daima have been streaming on Netflix, Hulu, and Crunchyroll for some time now, but the series’ English dub starring Stephanie Nadolny as mini Goku and Paul Castro Jr. as mini Vegeta is finally coming to Crunchyroll on January 10th.

This time it’s Lucky, which stars Anya Taylor-Joy “as a young woman who left behind the life of crime she was raised in years ago, but must now embrace her darker, criminal side one final time in a desperate attempt to escape her past.” No word on when the series will be streaming.

Apple’s mystery-packed thriller is coming back for season 2 early next year. The new season shifts the setting to London, as Sophie (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) “continues her mission for answers in her hometown.” It starts streaming on February 21st, joining an early 2025 lineup that also includes the return of Severance in January.

Arcane’s final season featured one of the better examples of how universe-hopping really can bring some depth to a character’s story. And in a new interview with Polygon, writer / co-executive producer producer Amanda Overton explains how “making it feel like the fabric of that episode is absolutely interconnected to the rest of the season” was essential to making this multiverse work.

Even if Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’s “The Goonies, but in space” premise doesn’t sound like it’s up your alley, you gotta admit that this kid’s all-terrain hover bike is sick as hell. If this is the kind of heat the show’s bringing when it premieres tomorrow, it might be something really special.

The BBC has colorized classic episodes of Doctor Who before, but its upcoming re-release of The War Games — the serial that introduced the Time Lords — will feature an all-new regeneration sequence that crystalizes how the Second Doctor (Patrick Troughton) became the Third (Jon Pertwee).

The 90-minute remaster hits the BBC iPlayer December 23rd.

Shōgun was the most watched show on Google TV devices in 2024 while Road House was the most watched movie. And starting today you’ll find a curated “best of 2024” collection under the “For You” tab on the Google TV Streamer (4K), Google TV built-in devices, and the Google TV apps.

The Netflix animated series was a clever reinvention of Scott Pilgrim, but according to creator Bryan Lee O’Malley, the story in season 1 of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is all we’re getting.

There will never be another show quite like HBO’s The Wire. But Apple TV Plus sounds like it’s going to try to recapture that magic with Dope Thief, Peter Craig’s new series based on Dennis Tafoya’s 2009 novel about “long-time Philly friends and delinquents who pose as DEA agents to rob an unknown house in the countryside, only to have their small-time grift become a life-and-death enterprise.”

The first two (of eight) episodes premiere on March 14th.

The new teaser for the FX spinoff series Alien: Earth doesn’t show a whole lot, but does confirm that the show will premiere in the summer of 2025. Oh, and in 2120 the xenomorphs are still very shiny.

In the meantime, Alien: Romulus starts streaming on Hulu tomorrow.

Though the Charcadet line has one of the most frustrating shiny forms in the Pokémon franchise, the latest Pokétoon web short does a wonderful job poking fun at how hard it is to spot the rare monsters.

Showtime’s high school drama / teen cannibal horror series Yellowjackets will return for season 3 on February 14th, 2025. While the second season was a little uneven, the show still has plenty of bite — though the new teaser trailer doesn’t provide many hints of what to expect.

Is it a reality show? A mockumentary? A desi Entourage? Maybe a serialized reboot of Om Shanti Om? Whatever this untitled Indian “multi-genre” series is, it’s coming in 2025. Netflix is seeing huge viewership in global markets.

Apple has revealed the first look at its upcoming comedy The Studio, which stars Seth Rogen as a budding film studio head. While the show looks full of delightful disasters, perhaps more impressive is the cast which includes the likes of Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, and Bryan Cranston. It starts streaming on March 26th.

Act One of Arcane’s final season closed out on a shot that lent even more credence to fans’ theories about how Warwick might be introduced into the series. And it seems like after Act Two drops this weekend, we’ll know how the werewolf came to be.
