Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 reunites viewers with Masha Dmitrichenko (Nicole Kidman), the enigmatic and dangerous wellness guru whose unconventional retreats promise transformation through carefully controlled doses of psychedelics and psychological pressure. Drawn from the world of Liane Moriarty's novel, the Hulu drama trades the sun-baked California of its first season for a striking new setting high in the snow-capped Austrian Alps.
This time Masha gathers a fresh group of wounded, secret-keeping guests at a remote mountain sanctuary, promising to change their lives in a matter of days. The ensemble brings in an array of new faces — Christoph Waltz, Mark Strong, Annie Murphy, Lena Olin, Murray Bartlett, Dolly de Leon and musician King Princess among them — each arriving with private grief that Masha intends to crack open, even as her own past and motives loom over the proceedings.
Premiering May 21, 2025, the second season leans further into the mystery and mysticism that made the original a talking point, wrapping its starry cast in gorgeous alpine vistas. Kidman's coolly unsettling performance anchors a story about whether real healing can come from a guru who treats her guests as experiments — and about how far people will go when they have run out of other options.
The Bear Season 4 continues FX's acclaimed, high-intensity comedy-drama from creator Christopher Storer, following a fine-dining chef who returns home to Chicago to run his late brother's chaotic sandwich shop. One of the most decorated series of its era, the show has swept the Emmys in the comedy categories and built a devoted following for its kinetic style and raw emotional stakes.
Jeremy Allen White returns as Carmy Berzatto, alongside Ayo Edebiri as chef Sydney and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the volatile Cousin Richie, as the team fights to keep their ambitious restaurant financially afloat while the pressure tests every relationship in the kitchen. The season's deep ensemble and guest cast include a final television performance from Rob Reiner as a business consultant.
All ten episodes dropped at once on FX and Hulu in June 2025, drawing strong reviews at around 85% on Rotten Tomatoes and marking a rebound from the more divisive third season. Praised in particular for its stripped-down, theatrical finale, the season reaffirmed the show's place among television's most ambitious character studies. Streaming on Hulu.
Wednesday Season 2 is the return of Netflix's smash-hit supernatural mystery-comedy, created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, with Tim Burton once again serving as an executive producer and director.

Jenna Ortega reprises her star-making role as Wednesday Addams, navigating a new year of danger, secrets and psychic visions at Nevermore Academy. The season deepens the wider Addams clan, with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzman as Morticia and Gomez, and adds high-profile guests including Steve Buscemi, Thandiwe Newton and Lady Gaga, who appears as a legendary Nevermore teacher.
Netflix released the season in two parts in the late summer of 2025, and it once again dominated the platform's charts while drawing the series' strongest reviews yet, at around 87% on Rotten Tomatoes. Its first season had set a record as one of Netflix's most-watched English-language seasons ever, and the sequel arrived as one of the most anticipated television events of the year.

Route 187 is a 2026 crime drama streaming on Paramount+, produced through Tyler Perry Studios and created and directed by Mark E. Swinton.

Horgan plays Alex, a fifty-year-old divorcee thrown back into the worlds of dating and desire just as she is raising her teenage son and taking on the care of her aging parents — the classic "sandwich generation" squeeze, mined here for both laughs and ache.

The series is a production of Merman, the company Horgan co-founded, and every episode is directed by Dawn Shadforth.

When Harrelson's screen life falls apart, the two decamp to McConaughey's Texas ranch, where the collision of their opposite temperaments — and the hunt for the truth about their possible blood tie — drives the comedy. Holland Taylor, Natalie Martinez, and Brittany Ishibashi co-star. The series was created by McConaughey, Harrelson, and Schitt's Creek writer David West Read, with Lee Eisenberg serving as showrunner.

The Drop: A Snowfall Saga is an FX drama series set in the world of Snowfall, the acclaimed crime saga about the crack epidemic's grip on 1980s Los Angeles. Picking up around 1990, roughly four years after the events of the parent show, The Drop shifts its focus to the explosion of West Coast hip-hop and the fortunes to be made and lost as the sound reshapes South Los Angeles.
Gail Bean and Isaiah John reprise their Snowfall roles as Wanda Bell and Leon Simmons, trying to build new lives amid the era's opportunity and danger, with Asante Blackk, Peyton Alex Smith, and a deep ensemble filling out the neighborhood around them.

Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story is the fourth installment of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan's Netflix true-crime anthology, following the seasons devoted to Jeffrey Dahmer, the Menendez brothers, and Ed Gein. It turns to one of America's oldest and most enduring murder mysteries: the 1892 killings of Andrew and Abby Borden in Fall River, Massachusetts, and the trial of Andrew's daughter Lizzie, who was accused of the crime and famously acquitted.
Ella Beatty stars as Lizzie Borden, with Charlie Hunnam as her father Andrew, Rebecca Hall as her stepmother Abby, Vicky Krieps as the household maid Bridget Sullivan, and Billie Lourd as Lizzie's sister Emma. Across eight episodes the season reconstructs the killings and the trial that gripped Gilded Age America, using the case to probe Victorian misogyny, class, and the suffocating expectations placed on women of the era — the first time the franchise has built a season around an alleged female perpetrator.
Released on September 17, 2026, the season debuted at number one on Netflix and drew millions of views in its opening days, keeping the Monster franchise among the streamer's most-watched original brands even as critics remained divided over its lurid, stylized approach. It is streaming on Netflix.
American Horror Story: 13 marks the thirteenth season of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's landmark FX horror anthology, and the creators have leaned hard into the ominous significance of the number itself.

Silo Season 3 returns Apple TV+'s acclaimed dystopian thriller, adapted from Hugh Howey's Wool novels, for its most expansive chapter yet. Where the first two seasons kept largely to the claustrophobic levels of the buried silo that houses the last of humanity, the third season splits its story across two timelines, adapting Howey's book Shift to reveal how this sealed world came to be.
Rebecca Ferguson returns as engineer Juliette Nichols, who survived being sent outside to "clean" but now grapples with memory loss as the silo she left behind slides toward chaos. Alongside the present-day crisis, a "Before Times" thread reaches back to the origins of the silos themselves, introducing new figures played by Jessica Henwick and Ashley Zukerman who uncover a conspiracy with world-ending stakes. Common and Harriet Walter are among the returning ensemble.
The ten-episode season premiered on July 3, 2026, rolling out weekly through the summer, and continues one of streaming's most patient and rewarding science-fiction sagas. With a fourth and final season planned to complete Howey's trilogy, Silo Season 3 deepens the mystery just as the pieces begin to connect. Silo Season 3 is streaming on Apple TV+.
