Co-developed by Neil Gaiman, Foundation creator David S. Goyer, and Allan Heinberg, The Sandman ended its two-season run in July 2025, concluding Dream's story as he sought to rebuild his fractured kingdom and atone for the mistakes that had shaped his existence.

Erielle Sudario — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 17:07:08 GMT

It's no secret that streaming is here to stay, especially when it comes to anime. There's a common online joke that subscribing to every streaming platform now costs as much as, or even more than, a traditional cable package. So, it's no surprise that some streaming sites would bundle themselves with other services to help lighten the load for those hesitant, and one of these platforms is anime's streaming giant.

Michael Hein — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 12:24:14 GMT

For the last decade or two, fans have watched the changing landscape of Hollywood with more interest than usual. Not only has the streaming era thrown the entire business for a loop, it has pushed companies into mergers, acquisitions, and re-brands that would have seemed unthinkable in the past. Fans have seen firsthand how these deals can affect their favorite TV shows and movies, yet it has begun to seem inevitable that every merger will be approved. Paramount's impending merger with Warner Bros. was no exception, but this week, federal Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin gave us real hope that the two companies might be kept apart.

Prime Video Is Officially Moving Away From Its Old Ad-Free Formula

Liam Gaughan — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 10:08:14 GMT

Streaming was once seen as an alternative to basic cable with more options and fewer distractions, but the industry has increasingly updated its subscription services to feel more like traditional television. Amazon Prime used to make a clear distinction between its ad-supported free content and a more streamlined subscription model; until 2024, the “Freevee” app for ad-supported content was independent of Prime Video, but now all content is hosted in the same place with different tiers. Amazon is replacing its existing “ad-free tier” with Prime Video Ultra, which allows for increased offline viewing, five concurrent streams, and Ultra HD and 4K quality picture and sound by Dolby Atmos. Given that any new perks within streaming come with price hikes, the Prime Video Ultra tier has been raised from $14.99 to $19.99 per month.

The journey of the Empyrean Series has been a fascinating one to this point. Rebecca Yarros' dragon-riding romantasy saga has broken records and become a mainstay of the genre since Fourth Wing was published in 2023. The series is one of the most well-known and popular with readers around the country, though it is at a bit of a crossroads at the moment. A couple of seemingly rushed sequels landed with incredible sales numbers but very mixed reception, causing Yarros to take a bit of a breather and regroup, resulting in a much-needed break between books three and four.

When Hollywood strikes gold with a formula, it rarely stops at just one success. After Prime Video's Reacher exploded into one of streaming's biggest successes, it was only a matter of time before studios went searching for the next larger-than-life literary hero. Jack Reacher's imposing physicality, sharp instincts, and commitment to helping strangers in need (so effortlessly brought to life by Alan Ritchson)have resonated with audiences of all demographics, proving there's much more room for old-school wandering heroes in modern entertainment. Thankfully, Lee Child's iconic drifter isn't the only character built from that mold, and now, Amazon is giving another beloved literary crime fighter the live-action treatment for the very first time.

1914 was the year in which the famed J.R.R. Tolkien penned his first ever manuscript that mentioned Middle-earth. Two decades down the line and then some, Tolkien would publish his first novel, The Hobbit, in 1937. Since then, life has been great for those who have been lucky enough to fall in love with The Lord of the Rings franchise. Setting aside those glory years when we first encountered hobbits, elves and all the other magical creatures of Middle-earth on the pages of Tolkien's books and Peter Jackson's famous trilogy of the early 2000s, beginning with The Fellowship of the Ring. We are arguably living in the best possible time to be a lover of The Lord of the Rings.
