TV Shows
We may be living in a golden age of TV, but panning through all the dross to find that gold can be time-consuming and tedious. For every much-discussed hit like Severance, House of the Dragon, and The Bear, there are dozens of new original shows that barely tip the cultural needle. And with so many new streaming services competing with HBO, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and Disney Plus, it’s impossible to keep up with everything new to view. But The Verge’s TV section is ready to help. Our news, reviews, and interviews help you find the next Stranger Things or Star Trek: Strange New Worlds in time to keep up with the cultural conversation. And our essays and analysis invite you to consider the deeper context of what you’re watching.


There have already been two great seasons of Apple’s prehistoric nature documentary series, and the next will shift the focus to the Ice Age, exploring the period across five episodes.

The HBO Max series is the last hangover from DC’s old universe, but it has to line up with the new world started by Superman. This trailer for season two hints at how that’ll happen, and if you guessed “multiverse” then you don’t get any prize because it was both obvious and inevitable.
Peacemaker returns with eight episodes from August 21st and, most importantly, will have an all-new dance number for the opening credits.


A Wolfenstein show is in development, reports Variety, and sounds like it could be based on MachineGames’ fantastic games that actually told stories rather than starting from scratch. Both MachineGames’ studio director Jerk Gustafsson and the showrunners of Fallout (which got the games right) Lisa Joy and Jonah Nolan are attached. Showrunner here is Patrick Somerville; the show’s not official yet.


At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Nickelodeon revealed some new art featuring Pavi, the young Earthbender at the center of the new Avatar: Seven Havens animated series due out in 2027.


With a $1.5 billion five-year deal to lock the irreverent show down and take it away from HBO Max, the streaming service clearly thinks so.
Paramonut Plus is steadily gaining subscribers, but lags behind rivals when it comes to the most popular content, and securing South Park might just help. And hey, if it distracts from stories about its troubled Skydance merger and payouts to Trump, that can’t hurt either, right?
Apple announced that production is officially underway for the previously-revealed season 4 of Ted Lasso. There’s even a photo to prove it. More interesting, though, is the news that a bunch of the cast are joining Jason Sudeikis in returning to the show, including Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt. and Jeremy Swift.
We’ve talked before about the funhouse-mirror-alternative-reality that Trump (and Musk) have built. JP Brammer, who watches much more YouTube than I do, notes something weird is going on in content land — it seems Donald Trump has lost control of the plot. NBC’s Brandy Zadrozny, writing from a more anxious angle, seems to agree. Content has now outpaced reality. I guess we’re going to find out by how much.

During an interview with Variety, HBO Max head Casey Bloys said the next season “is definitely planned for 2027,” though there might not be another one after that:
Craig [Mazin] is still working it out whether it will be two more seasons or one more long season. It hasn’t been decided yet, and I’m following Craig’s lead on that.
The next season will be the first without the involvement of The Last of Us co-creator Neil Druckman, who is shifting focus to upcoming Naughty Dog games.

The Big Bang Theory is getting another spinoff, but this one is a bit weirder. It’s called Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, and here’s the set-up: “comic book store owner Stuart Bloom is tasked with restoring reality after he breaks a device built by Sheldon and Leonard, accidentally bringing about a multiverse Armageddon.” Which means there will be familiar characters... from an alternate universe.
