Apple TV+ is increasing its content quantity with numerous new series and films scheduled across the year.
Last week, I caught myself starting The Office for what must be the fifteenth time. My partner walked in, saw Jim pranking Dwight with the stapler in Jell-O, and just shook his head. "Again?" he asked. And honestly? I couldn't explain why I kept going back to the same show when there's literally endless content available at my fingertips. But here's the thing: I'm not alone in this.
If there is one thing I have learned from decades of watching Real Housewives, nothing good comes from addressing the elephant in the room, so instead I would like to neglect it for as long as we possibly can because, honestly, I'm still upset over the whole thing. It's also difficult because this is a bit of a transition season for Summer House.
In 1977, Star Trek was gearing up for a comeback. After being canceled in 1969 and enjoying a brief return as an animated series in 1973, the beloved sci-fi series was finally coming back to live action. History will tell you this resulted in the 1979 film Star Trek: The Motion Picture, but before that, there were very serious plans for a sequel TV series, generally referred to as Star Trek: Phase II.
Dexter star David Zayas is replacing Timothy Busfield in an upcoming Law & Order: Special Victims Unit guest role. NBC pulled the episode from its schedule last month following Busfield's arrest on child sexual abuse charges in New Mexico. Busfield an Emmy-winner known for TV and film roles like Thirtysomething, First Kid, and The West Wing was released from jail but is awaiting trial. Zayas was recast in the part and re-shot Busfield's scenes.
Probably the best of them was ITV's Lucy Letby: Beyond Reasonable Doubt? last summer. It did a fine job of meticulously explaining the evidence against her and why a growing body of experts believe that at the very least her conviction on the basis of what was gathered is unsafe, and at most that none of the babies were murdered by her, but were victims of a chronically understaffed and mismanaged unit that might have sought to scapegoat an individual for its failings.

During the Super Bowl, Sinclair's digital stations Charge! and National News Desk will stream Kid Rock on Turning Point USA's "All American Halftime Show," an unusual move that will see the broadcast group competing against its own affiliates for viewers. According to DC anchor Jim Lokay, Sinclair owns and operates over 20 NBC stations around the country. But while NBC and Peacock are airing the (also All-American) Super Bowl Halftime Show featuring Puerto Rican Bad Bunny and Californians Green Day,

Mum and dad bought a Vidor TV for the coronation in 1953. We used to watch the Television Newsreel on Saturday evening I was fascinated by the start, which was the BBC revolving round the Alexandra TV tower. I think this (together with listening to the shipping forecast on the radio) is what sparked my lifelong obsession with radio! It is still with me 70+ years later. Phil Holliday, 78, New Zealand
Two years ago, with Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, creators Chris Black and Matt Fraction proved the answer to that question was a surprising yes. Through 10 episodes from late 2023 to 2024, Monarch Season 1 told an intergenerational tale that spanned the 1950s to 2015, interestingly insulated from much of the canon of the other Monsterverse movies.
Last month, Apple TV released a teaser for the second season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, part of Legendary Entertainment's MonsterVerse, which brought Godzilla, King Kong, and various other monsters ( kaiju) created by Toho Co., Ltd into a shared narrative. But we only got the most fleeting glimpse of the promised new mythical Titan threatening the human race. The full trailer just dropped and rectifies that: it's a gigantic tentacled undersea being dubbed Titan X-and only Kong and Godzilla can stop it.
The Night Manager's second season grew in confidence and ambition with each episode, culminating in a Shakespearean finale that saved its most savage work for last. In six tragic minutes, it bumped off two, maybe three major characters like they were names on a ledger. Angela Burr - Olivia Colman's dogged intelligence operative - gunned down at her home in France, her young daughter close by.
Opening Monday night's show, Stewart mocked those named in the release as a veritable who's who of who you imagine wanted someone to touch their hoohoo adding: allegedly [Howard] Lutnik, [Steve] Bannon, [Elon] Musk, [Larry] Summers, [Bill] Gates, [Bill] Clinton, [Steve] Tisch, Melania [Trump], the guy who directed Melania [Brett Ratner], Prince Andrew, and Sir Richard Branson. Rounding on the president, he dropped one more name: And, of course, the star of our show, Donald Josephine Trump,

To me, the drama of has a lot of parallels with modern-day parenting. Sure, putting a Paw Patrol Band-Aid on your kid's scraped knee isn't exactly the same as treating a degloved foot (although judging by the screaming, you wouldn't know it). And betting on where a runaway ambulance will end up is higher stakes than betting on which child will crawl into your bed tonight.

There have been few attempts at a Muppets reboot over the last 40 years, but none of the shows - like Muppets Tonight from the '90s or The Muppets from the 2010s - really recaptured the zany, put-on-a-show mayhem of the original The Muppet Show, which aired from 1974 - 1981. But Seth Rogen and director Alex Timbers had the good idea, for The Muppet Show's 50th anniversary, to just bring back the Vaudeville-inspired original instead of reinventing Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo and the rest of the gang for our social media age.

In it, the Tiny Chef (a stop-motion creature vaguely resembling a sentient pea) made plant-based meals for his friends from his home inside a tree stump.
