Exclusive: Paul Wesley, an actor who played a vampire on The Vampire Diaries, is executive producing a series project about a vampire who wants to be an actor. The untitled comedy, which landed at Fox for development in a competitive situation, centers on a determined 25-year-old vampire who struggles with running the family business for his murderous and suffocating vampire parents while trying to chase his dream to become an actor.

It is written by Unstable co-creator Victor Fresco and will be directed by Liz Friedlander (The Rookie). The duo and Wesley executive produce with Aaron Kaplan of Kapital Entertainment and Tracy Katsky of KatCo. Fox Entertainment is the studio.

The team of the project are all interconnected via past collaborations. Fresco created the Netflix horror comedy series Santa Clarita Diet, which he executive produced with Kaplan and Katsky. Friedlander and Wesley have been friends since she directed episodes of The Vampire Diaries.

ABC has handed an early Season 2 renewal to its breakout new crime drama High Potential. The light procedural starring Kaitlin Olson joins ABC’s flagship comedy Abbott Elementary in securing a spot on the network’s 2025-26 schedule. High Potential also joins the other standout 2024-25 freshman drama, CBS’ Matlock, in landing an early Season 2 renewal. Both were series originally ordered for last season but delayed due of the strikes.

The size of High Potential‘s Season 2 order is Tbd but is expected to be larger than Season 1, which consists of 13 episodes. Because of the show’s atypical production schedule and Olson’s commitment to her other series regular job on FX’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, filming on Season 1 had to wrap after its initial 13-episode order.

The Lincoln Lawyer has been somewhat of a surprise success on Netflix. The show was created by David E. Kelley, who has had a long run of success in television, but that does not mean that every show he touches turns to gold. Plus, The Lincoln Lawyer was an idea that seemed done, and who knew if anyone would want to watch.

Netflix took a chance in 2022 that the series would be at least a moderate success. It might have exceeded the streamer's expectations. Star Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, who plays Mickey Haller, had been in a bunch of movies and shows, but could he carry a series? As it turns out, he could.

The series follows an attorney who runs a law firm literally out of the back of his car, as he takes on cases of all sizes in Los Angeles. Sounds simple, sure, but also sounds like there could...

Fans of The Lincoln Lawyer won’t be kept in suspense about what will happen after the shocking season three finale. Netflix finally officially confirmed the popular drama has been renewed for a fourth season. Even better news, the new season starts filming in February.

Netflix didn’t provide a synopsis of season four but did reveal it will be based on Michael Connelly’s sixth book of The Lincoln Lawyer series, The Law of Innocence. The streamer also revealed season four will consist of 10 episodes.

Before Netflix confirmed season four, co-executive producer and co-showrunner Ted Humphrey spoke with Tudum about the season three cliffhanger. “As far as what it all means, hopefully we will be able to show you in season four,” said Humphrey. “But clearly, the only thing Mickey could be thinking is,...

Today, Netflix announced it has renewed The Lincoln Lawyer for a fourth season, with production set to begin in February in Los Angeles.

The fourth season will consist of 10 episodes and will be based on the sixth book in The Lincoln Lawyer series by Michael Connelly, titled The Law of Innocence.

Fan favorite Manuel Garcia-Rulfo will return as Mickey Haller, alongside Becki Newton (Lorna), Jazz Raycole (Izzy), and Angus Sampson (Cisco). Neve Campbell (Maggie McPherson) is also set to return for all episodes of the new season.

The Lincoln Lawyer continues to be one of Netflix‘s most fan-beloved series to date. Season 1 set the tone for the show’s global success, spending 12 consecutive weeks in the Netflix Global Top 10, reaching the Top 10 in 90 countries.

Season 2 also saw much success both on the charts and behind the camera as it quickly climbed the Netflix Global Top 10 securing 40 million views and reaching the Top 10 in 81 countries.

Netflix might have been the network to hand out the most cancellations in 2024, but the streaming service is starting the new year off on a better start it seems!

Just weeks into the new year, Netflix has finally confirmed the fate of its hit legal drama The Lincoln Lawyer by officially renewing the series for a fourth season! News of the show’s renewal comes just over three months after the show’s third season was released on Oct. 17, 2024.

While the renewal news has only just come in, Deadline reports that work on season 4 has been quietly underway for a while now with production set to begin in February. The fourth season will once again film in the Los Angeles area and fans can once again look forward to a 10-episode season, though we’ll have to see whether that 10-episode season is released all at once as we saw...

Netflix has renewed the David E. Kelley legal drama The Lincoln Lawyer for another round in the courtroom.

Production will begin on a fourth season next month in Los Angeles, the video streaming giant said Tuesday. Season four will comprise 10 episodes and will be based on the sixth book in the Lincoln Lawyer series by Michael Connelly, The Law of Innocence.

The show follows Mickey Haller, played Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, as “an iconoclastic idealist, [who] runs his law practice out of the back seat of his Lincoln, as he takes on cases big and small across the expansive city of Los Angeles,” according to the synopsis.

Garcia-Rulfo will return as Mickey Haller, the hotshot L.A. defense attorney working his way through the criminal justice system from his trademark Lincoln. Also returning is Becki Newton as Lorna, Jazz Raycole to play Izzy and Angus Sampson as Cisco.

The Lincoln Lawyer ended its third season with a major cliffhanger, one that leaves its main character, Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), in a very precarious position. The series premiered on Netflix in 2022, following Mickey; he doesn’t exactly run his practice out of the back of his town car (he has an office), though his vehicle is an important aspect of his life. But will there be a fourth season? Below, we take a look at what we know about the drama’s future. Has The Lincoln Lawyer been renewed for Season 4? Yes!

“The Lincoln Lawyer” has been renewed for Season 4.

Netflix confirmed the news in a post on X on Tuesday. The popular legal drama show is based on the book series of the same name by Michael Connelly. Season 4 will be based on the book “The Law of Innocence” and will consist of 10 episodes. Production is slated to begin in February.

Manuel Garcia-Rulfo will return as Mickey Haller, with Neve Campbell set to appear in all episodes of Season 4 following a limited presence for her character, Maggie McPherson, in Season 3.

Exclusive: Netflix has greenlighted a fourth season of its popular legal drama series The Lincoln Lawyer. The formal renewal comes three months after the release of Season 3 but fans shouldn’t worry about a delay — the 10-episode new season had been in the works for awhile, with production set to begin next month.

Manuel Garcia-Rulfo will return as Mickey Haller in Season 4, based on the sixth book in The Lincoln Lawyer series by Michael Connelly, The Law of Innocence.

Also coming back are Becki Newton (Lorna), Jazz Raycole (Izzy), and Angus Sampson (Cisco) as well as Neve Campbell (Maggie McPherson). After appearing in just two episodes of Season 3 as a guest star, Campbell will be in all episodes of the new season. That is consistent with the source material as Maggie has a significant presence in The Law of Innocence which is not the case with the novel The Gods of Guilt,...

Season 3 of The Lincoln Lawyer may have ended with a shocking finale that left everything up in the air — but you can breathe a sigh of relief, because Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) isn’t the kind of guy to keep you hanging on that cliff forever.

As announced during the official Next on Netflix event, Mickey will ride once again in a fourth season of The Lincoln Lawyer, the drama series based on the novels by Michael Connelly about LA’s most dedicated defense attorney.

A new report sheds light on the top streaming shows, which is led by a somewhat surprising Netflix drama. Despite the lack of platform-defining marquee shows like Netflix's Wednesday and Prime Video's Reacher, streaming television ended the year on a relative high thanks to the strength of new originals that debuted strong and several returning favorites.

This was evident with Nobody Wants This, the Kristen Bell and Adam Brody romantic comedy that climbed the charts late in 2024 and has been in the awards conversation. On the opposite end of the genre spectrum, Prime Video's Alex Cross adaptation premiered to a big audience in November and seemed to fill the void created by the absence of Reacher. This is in addition to well-established successes like Outer Banks season 4 and a pair of Taylor Sheridan dramas. But none of took the top spot.

There's so many networks, streamers, and television shows at our disposal! We're truly lucky as there's so many options out there. Though that can also get overwhelming at times and it can be difficult to keep track of the renewal status of all the productions. Well, that's what we're here for!

I personally believe 2025 is going to be a wonderful year for television, as we already have so many highly-anticipated shows confirmed to look forward to. Last year, and even before that in some cases, brought many greats to us as well. And some, not so great.

Whether you liked a series or not, there are some that are still stuck in that limbo phase of not being renewed or cancelled yet. There's more that aren't on this list, but these are the 16 streaming shows we'd like to get updates on soon to know whether they're canceled or renewed:

The page-to-screen adaptations keep on coming to Netflix, and this time, it's another BookTok hit that could become everyone's next Netflix guilty pleasure binge-watch.

On Jan. 9, Variety revealed that Netflix had officially snatched up the rights to Twisted Love, the best-selling romance novel by Ana Huang that has taken TikTok by storm and launched a full series of books. The outlet reports that the streamer secured the rights to Twisted Love and its three sequels for a television series adaptation. The deal for Huang's novels was said to be seven figures.

Apart from the news of Twisted Love being snagged by Netflix for a lucrative deal that would put it into millions of homes worldwide, there isn't any additional information about the in-development series adaptation. No writers or producers seem to currently be attached, and the show hasn't gotten an official green light. But with a seven-figure deal, this seems like a no brainer!

The top of Nielsen’s latest U.S. ranking of streaming originals is pure Madness.

As a new year begins, Netflix fans may be worried about what shows may not survive in 2025.

Netflix viewers have sadly had to get used to the streamer’s tendency to cancel shows too early. 2024 saw several good shows like Dead Boy Detectives and Kaos cut short and why it’s hard to get into the streamer. They can surprise folks with longer renewals, such as two seasons for Ginny & George, and are likely to continue low-budget fare like Outer Banks and hits like Virgin River.

Still, Netflix is a business that has to cut down costs so it’s likely some fare won’t survive 2025. They can be popular shows, others more ignored, yet these are the ten Netflix series most likely to feel the axe in 2025, so enjoy them while you can.

Prime Video’s Alex Cross series repeated at No. 1 on Nielsen’s latest U.S. ranking of streaming originals.

For the week of Nov. 18, the already-renewed Cross amassed another 1.2 billion minutes viewed for its eight-episode binge drop. It was (distantly) followed by the chart debut of Netflix’s newly renewed A Man on the Inside (880 million minutes viewed/eight half-hour episodes), Netflix’s Cobra Kai (838 million minutes/60 episodes with the release of Season 6B), the long-gone sitcom A.P. Bio (which landed on Netflix and had 665 million minutes viewed for its 47 episodes on both Netflix and Peacock), and the chart debut...

The week of Nov. 18-24 was a good one to premiere a streaming show with “man” in the title.

Netflix’s A Man on the Inside and Paramount+’s Landman both ranked among the top five original streaming series in their first week on the charts. A Man on the Inside, starring Ted Danson as a widower who goes undercover in a retirement community working for a private investigator, drew 880 million minutes of viewing for the week. That’s either the second- or third-best debut for a streaming comedy in 2024, depending on whether you classify The Bear (1.23 billion minutes for the week of its season three premiere) as one. (Nobody Wants This had just over a billion minutes for its first week.)

Landman, meanwhile, snagged 653 million minutes of viewing, largely for its first two episodes that premiered Nov. 17. The third episode, which debuted Nov. 24, had only a day to contribute...

A listing on the official Writers’ Guild of America website revealed some intriguing Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 developments.

Mickey Haller is The Lincoln Lawyer. The rough-and-tumble Los Angeles-based attorney, played by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, largely works with his clients out of his Lincoln Navigator (which lends the series its title).

Season 3 of The Lincoln Lawyer dropped on Netflix in October 2024 and ended with a significant cliffhanger.

Jurassic World Rebirth arrives in theaters next summer and, thanks to Entertainment Weekly (via SFFGazette.com), we have a fresh look at the movie along with some intriguing new story details.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Godzilla director Gareth Edwards will be at the helm of what he believes could be the start of a brand new trilogy. The previous one consisted of Jurassic World, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and Jurassic World Dominion, with the latter receiving a mixed response from fans.

"I can't speak for Universal, but it did feel like a new trilogy, in a way," the filmmaker revealed. "I'm not sure what their plans are, but it felt like the beginning of a brand-new chapter in this franchise. To me, it's a giant love letter to Steven Spielberg and his earlier films."

"There are moments in this movie that remind me very much of Jaws.

A new thriller on Netflix is beating some of the biggest blockbusters of the year in the latest streaming ranking. Because of the strike delays related to the writers and actors strikes, and also because of how long prestige series can take to move through production, Netflix made it known that some of its biggest originals wouldn't make a 2024 release date. That includes the Jenna Ortega-led supernatural horror Wednesday and the final season of Stranger Things.

The streamer was boosted by the breakout success of the romantic comedy series Nobody Wants This, led by Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, which became one of the most-discussed new series. The Diplomat season 2 and Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story built on the foundations of their first installments, with Outer Banks, Bridgerton, and The Lincoln Lawyer all continuing to draw massive viewership. A recently debuted thriller could end up being a significant hit.

“Cross,” the James Patterson adaptation starring Aldis Hodge, debuted at No. 1 on Nielsen’s weekly streaming rankings, with 1.36 billion minutes watched during the week of Nov. 11 to Nov. 17. All eight episodes of the series premiered on Amazon Prime Video on Nov. 14, meaning the show was only available for four days during the viewing period.

The show, created by Ben Watkins and based on Patterson’s “Alex Cross” detective novels, performed particularly well with Black audiences, who accounted for 40% of total watch time.

Following behind at No. 2 on the overall top 10 is “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which landed on Disney+ on Nov. 14 and was the most-streamed movie of the viewing period. “Outer Banks” held on at No. 3 after five new episodes of the Netflix teen drama dropped on Nov. 7.

Rounding out the original series list are Netflix’s “The Lincoln Lawyer,” “Cobra Kai” and “The Diplomat”; Paramount+’s “Special Ops: Lioness” and...

The opening week of Cross was a big one for Prime Video.

The Amazon-owned streamer claimed the No. 1 overall spot on Nielsen’s streaming charts for Nov. 11-17 as Cross drew 1.36 billion minutes of viewing (the full eight-episode season premiered Nov. 14). The crime drama, starring Aldis Hodge and based on James Patterson’s Alex Cross novels, ranks as Prime Video’s second-best new series debut of 2024 behind Fallout. (Amazon says 40 million viewers worldwide watched at least some of Cross over its first three weeks of release.)

While Cross had a big opening, HBO’s DC Comics-based series The Penguin made its first appearance on the Nielsen charts for the week after its finale. The series had 595 million viewing minutes on Max for the week — and apparently has been landing just outside the acquired series top 10 for most of its run. Nielsen says The Penguin amassed 3.8 billion minutes of viewing...

“Cross” has crossed a major threshold. The Amazon Prime Video original secured over 1.36 billion minutes streamed from Nov. 11 to 17, making it the most streamed show or movie of that week. This accomplishment was especially impressive since the series beat the Marvel hit, “Deadpool & Wolverine.”

During its first week of landing on Disney+, “Deadpool & Wolverine” saw 1.34 billion minutes streamed. It should be noted that because “Cross” has a longer runtime than “Deadpool & Wolverine,” it’s likely that more people watched the latter though its total viewership number is smaller.

Based on James Patterson’s novels, the drama racked up over a billion views in its first four days. Viewers who watched at least 30 minutes of the series — a subset Nielsen refers to as “engaged viewers” — averaged watching about four episodes each.

Days of Our Lives fans have heard the name Catherina for about a year and a half. Konstantin used the “death” of his daughter to seek revenge on John Black, aka The Pawn, who allegedly killed her. He didn’t. Then, after Konstantin kicked the bucket, her name started popping up again when Cat Greene came on the scene. So it’s no surprise that Days has finally cast its Catherina, who’s alive and tangled up in Clyde’s web. Actress Susan Elena Matus debuted on the soap today.

The presidential election and the conclusion of the World Series helped drive overall TV use to a nine-month high in November. But despite those big events on linear TV platforms, both cable and broadcast outlets lost some share of viewing in Nielsen’s monthly platform rankings.

The ratings service’s Gauge snapshot for November also shows streaming hitting another all-time high in share of TV usage — the fourth such milestone in the past seven months — for the November period, which ran from Oct. 28-Nov. 24 and therefore doesn’t include Thanksgiving, one of the biggest broadcast viewing days of the year.

TV viewing as a whole rose by about 5 percent compared to October, driven by events across all platforms. Streaming services accounted for 41.6 percent of TV use for the month, up from 40.5 percent, with programming like Netflix’s Jake Paul-Mike Tyson boxing match and The Lincoln Lawyer, the most...

Time spent watching television hit a nine-month high in November, as viewing levels for the month grew 5% compared to October for the largest monthly total since February, according to Nielsen’s latest Gauge report.

The increase was attributed to sports, the presidential election and live streaming, all of which drove peak shares of TV for viewing categories each in separate weeks during the month. The typical Thanksgiving holiday surge in TV viewing will be included in the measurement firm’s December report.

Streaming viewership grew 7.6% in November, with the category posting a record share of 41.6%. Nielsen attributed the increase to viewers seeking solace from the atypical, election-fueled news cycle covered by many traditional TV networks, as well as streaming reaching 42.6% of TV viewing during the third week of the interval ending Nov. 24.

After a week off the charts, Netflix’s Outer Banks returned to the streaming rankings — shooting to No. 1 overall with the release of its latest batch of episodes.

The YA drama brought in 1.23 billion minutes of viewing for the week of Nov. 4-10, according to Nielsen; the second half of season four premiered on Nov. 7. That’s the highest weekly tally for Outer Banks since the season premiered in October, although still well below its biggest performances in season three.

The Diplomat (1.22 billion minutes) finished a close second, growing a little bit from its premiere week and remaining in second place overall. The Lincoln Lawyer gave up its No. 1 ranking but stayed above the billion-minute mark with 1.11 billion minutes of watch time.

The top new entrant in the streaming charts for the week was Gossip Girl. The erstwhile CW series racked up 617 million minutes of viewing after rejoining Netflix (it...

In the latest example of the dominance of library titles on streaming, Gossip Girl soared onto Nielsen’s streaming Top 10 the first week of November after making its return to Netflix.

The YA favorite racked up 617M viewing minutes across Netflix, Max and Hulu from November 4 to 10, putting it at No. 10 overall. While the show never left Max or Hulu, it’s absence from the Nielsen streaming lists when it wasn’t on Netflix is pretty telling.

It will be interesting to see whether the title will continue to rise through the ranks and generate more viewership in the coming weeks, as we’ve seen many times over when beloved titles make their way to the streamer. Gossip Girl seems to be a pretty constant favorite, so it’s possible it will never pop the way that Suits or Lost did while still putting up continuously strong viewership.

According to Nielsen,...

With the release of Season 4B, Netflix’s Outer Banks topped Nielsen’s U.S. ranking of streaming originals for the week of Nov. 4, racking up 1.23 billion minutes viewed across 40 episodes.

Netflix’s The Diplomat repeated at (a very close!) No. 2 on the originals chart, with 1.22 billion minutes viewed/14 episodes, followed by Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer (1.1 billion minutes/30 episodes), Netflix’s The Great British Baking Show (594 million minutes/102 episodes) and Paramount+’s Tulsa King (502 million minutes/18 episodes).

Legal dramas often walk a fine line between being gripping and downright over-the-top, and while Suits had its charm (and plenty of swagger), The Lincoln Lawyer came in hot with something Suits just couldn’t quite match—raw, street-smart realism. Manuel Garcia-Rulfo’s take on Mickey Haller didn’t rely on designer suits or lofty office drama.

Nope, he operated straight out of the back seat of his Lincoln, taking the phrase on the go to a whole new level. The series delivered courtroom showdowns with a grittier edge, balancing the flash with some serious depth. Sure, Suits had the banter, but The Lincoln Lawyer made the law feel like it wasn’t just polished—it was personal.

“A Man on the Inside,” a Netflix comedy from Mike Schur starring Ted Danson, was the No. 1 title on Luminate’s weekly ranking of streaming originals for Nov. 22-28. The series hit 1.3 billion minutes watched during its first full week of availability after its Nov. 21 premiere.

Next in line was the newest Taylor Sheridan series, “Landman,” which hit 984.3 million minutes watched in its first full week on Paramount+ — up from its No. 7 debut with 470.4 million minutes watched in five days the previous week. Last week’s No. 1 title, “Cross,” took third place this week with 855.4 million minutes watched in its second full week of avavilability.

Next was "Lioness" Season 2 with 559.4 million minutes watched, closely followed by "Tulsa King" Season 2 with 547.1 million minutes watched.

Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer continued its reign atop Nielsen’s U.S. ranking of streaming originals, by racking up 1.5 billion minutes viewed for its 30 episodes during the week of Oct. 28.

With the release of Season 2, Netflix’s The Diplomat placed No. 2 on the originals chart with 1.1 billion minutes viewed across 14 episodes. It was followed by Netflix’s Beauty in Black (833 million minutes/eight episodes), Netflix’s Love Is Blind (811 million minutes/96 episodes) and Disney+’s Agatha All Along (which hit a weekly high of 744 million minutes viewed with the release of its final two episodes).

The Kathryn Hahn-led show tallied 744 million minutes of viewing on Disney+ for the week of Oct. 28-Nov. 3; the final two episodes of the season debuted on Oct. 30. That’s by far the biggest total weekly total for Agatha All Along, beating the 426 million minutes for its premiere week by a 75 percent margin.

Only Murders in the Building also had a strong showing, hitting a season high of 599 million minutes of viewing on Hulu for the week of its season four finale. The 599 million minutes is the show’s second-best week to date, behind only the season three premiere in August 2023.

The Season 4 finale of “Only Murders in the Building” brought in the show’s biggest weekly audience to date.

As the Season 4 finale debuted Tuesday, Oct. 29, on Hulu, “Only Murders in the Building” brought in 599 million minutes of viewing time during the interval between Oct. 28-Nov. 3, according to Nielsen. The show outpaced its previous viewership record of 590 million minutes, which it notched in August 2023 during the Season 3 rollout.

“Only Murders in the Building” was the No. 6 most-watched show on Nielsen’s streaming originals list for the week, outpacing “Tulsa King,” which brought in 585 million minutes viewed on Paramount+, as well as “Special Ops: Lioness,” which scored 576 viewing minutes on Paramount+.

Having spent the ‘00s charming audiences with swoon-worthy roles, McConaughey decided he’d had enough. For about a decade, he was the rom-com leading man. From making hearts flutter in The Wedding Planner to teaching Kate Hudson how to lose a guy in 10 days and even helping Sarah Jessica Parker with a Failure to Launch, McConaughey dominated the feel-good romance scene. But by 2009, after wrapping up Ghosts of Girlfriends Past with Jennifer Garner, the Texan heartthrob hit a creative crossroads.

“I wanted to try some other stuff,” he later shared, but Hollywood didn’t feel it. The industry had him pegged as the rom-com golden boy, and stepping out of that lane wasn’t encouraged. So McConaughey made a bold call: he quit. For two years, he ghosted Hollywood entirely.

The hiatus wasn’t exactly glamorous.

Outer Banks and Cobra Kai are two popular shows on the streaming platform Netflix.

The Netflix global top 10 list for the week of November 18-24 was recently released, and both shows made it to the top 5.

“In the beginning, there was blood. And a Code I learned from my father.”

Paramount+ with Showtime today debuted the official trailer for the highly anticipated prequel “Dexter: Original Sin.” The series premieres Friday, Dec. 13 on streaming and on demand for Paramount+ subscribers with the Paramount+ with Showtime plan, before making its on-air US debut on Sunday, Dec. 15 at 10pm Et/Pt.

“It was simple. Kill the bad guys who escape justice and don’t get caught myself,” Dexter explains as we see him starting his new internship at the Miami Metro Police Department. “Learning my Code was just the beginning. Bringing it to life for the first time is a whole new story.”

Set in 1991 Miami, “Dexter: Original Sin” follows Dexter (Patrick Gibson) as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer. When his bloodthirsty urges can’t be ignored any longer, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness.

Christmas movies on Netflix are already hot — not frosty.

The streamer’s latest Global Top 10 list included three Christmas movies: Chad Michael Murray and Britt Robertson film “The Merry Gentlemen” debuting at No. 1, “Hot Frosty” slipping to number 2, and “Meet Me Next Christmas” with Christina Millian charting seventh in its third week on the list.

“The Merry Gentlemen” had 14.7 million views in the week of November 18, according to Netflix, while “Hot Frosty” with Lacey Chabert and Dustin Milligan had 12.7 million (it had 16 million views in its debut). “Meet Me Next Christmas” had 5.9 million views last week.

On the TV side, the new Mike Schur show “A Man on the Inside” starring Ted Danson crammed a lump of coal down “Arcane’s” chimney. “A Man on the Inside” debuted at number 1 with 6.9 million views, denying “Arcane” Season 2 the top spot. (The second “Arcane” season...

“Cross” was the most-watched streaming original in the U.S. during the week of Nov. 15-21, per Luminate. The Amazon Prime Video series, based on James Patterson’s “Alex Cross” novels, was watched for 1.8 billion minutes in that timeframe, which marked its first full week of availability after premiering on Nov. 14.

Peacock also had a big win this week, charting higher than normal with the debut of “The Day of the Jackal.” The Eddie Redmayne-led series was watched for 830.4 million minutes in its first full week of streaming, landing at No. 2 and edging out “Tulsa King” Season 3’s third-place-winning 787.6 million minutes.

Season 6 of "Cobra Kai" was right behind "Tulsa King," taking fourth place with 782.3 million minutes watched in the first full week of availability for its second batch of episodes. (A third and final batch of episodes is set for Feb. 13.) At No. 5 was "Sisters' Feud," which was watched...

Streaming viewers in the week of Oct. 21-27 made the following decision: We have to go back.

Viewing of Lost on Hulu and Netflix hit a high that week, finishing first among all acquired series with 1.03 billion minutes of viewing time in the United States, according to Nielsen. The former ABC series, which marked the 20th anniversary of its premiere in September, ranked second among all titles.

In first place was The Lincoln Lawyer, which spent a second week in the top overall spot and got over the 2 billion-minute mark (2.03 billion) for the first time in its three seasons. The drama based on Michael Connelly’s novels improved by about 24 percent week to week.

Tyler Perry’s Netflix series Beauty in Black was the top newcomer, scoring 740 million minutes of watch time for its opening week (it premiered Oct. 24). That was good for third place among original series behind The Lincoln Lawyer...

Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer topped Nielsen’s U.S. ranking of streaming originals for a second straight week, while ABC’s iconic Lost rose to No. 2 on the overall Top 10 chart.

For the week of Oct. 21, The Lincoln Lawyer racked up a series-high 2.03 billion minutes viewed across 30 episodes. Netflix’s Love is Blind came in a distant second with 866 million minutes viewed/95 episodes, followed by Netflix’s Beauty in Black (740 million minutes/eight episodes), Paramount+’s Tulsa King (533 million minutes/16 available episodes) and Netflix’s The Great British Baking Show (500 million minutes/100 episodes).

There’s a new entry in the Jurassic Park / Jurassic World franchise heading our way, with Jurassic World Rebirth set to reach theatres on July 2, 2025 – and during an interview with Empire, director Gareth Edwards said that the new movie goes back to what he loved about the original Jurassic Park.

News of the new Jurassic World movie first hit back in January, when it was revealed that the screenplay – by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp, returning to the franchise for the first time since The Lost World: Jurassic Park – had already been written. The project was assembled in a mad scramble after that, with Godzilla and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story director Gareth Edwards ending up at the helm. This new Jurassic World movie won’t be featuring any returning lead characters from the previous Jurassic Park / Jurassic World movies, so describing it as a “Rebirth” could be accurate.

The next installment in the Jurassic World franchise is officially titled Jurassic World Rebirth, and Empire Online has exclusively shared the very first image this afternoon.

Scarlett Johansson plays covert operations expert Zora Bennett in Jurassic World Rebirth, and you can check out the full image below for a sneak peek at her dino-hunting adventure.

Universal will release Jurassic World Rebirth in theaters on July 2, 2025.

The studio previews, “This action-packed new chapter sees an intrepid team racing to secure DNA samples from the three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air.”

Here’s the full official plot synopsis: “Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug...
