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.

That’s how much Atomic Keyboard is charging for its MDR Dasher keyboard, based on Apple TV’s Severance, though early adopters can save $300 with a $10 deposit. That gets you an aluminum keyboard with a trackball and swappable magnetic top sheet that enables three different layouts, depending on how show-accurate you feel like being.

CBS is also retiring The Late Show franchise, which it says is “purely a financial decision,” according to CBS News.

Ahead of Invincible’s season 4 premiere next year, Variety reports that Amazon has renewed the series for fifth season that will dig even deeper into the story of Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) as he becomes one of the galaxy’s toughest superheroes.

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:

The nominations for this year’s Emmys are out, and while HBO Max is leading the pack with 142 noms total, Apple has a good chance of cleaning up as well thanks to Severance (27 noms) and The Studio (23 noms).

Netflix is finally going to be releasing a trailer for the fifth and final — and very drawn-out — season of Stranger Things tomorrow. It’s unclear what to expect, but it appears that bikes will be involved. Here’s the new poster:

The new half-hour limited series doesn’t have a name just yet, but HBO describes it as a celebration of American history that will star Larry David, a handful of other Curb Your Enthusiasm alums, and some “noteworthy guest stars.”

We already knew that Peacock’s The Office spinoff was coming in September, and now the streamer has announced a specific date: September 4th. There will be two new episodes every Thursday, running through September 25th.

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. No word yet on when the series will premiere.

When The Morning Show returns for its fourth season on Apple TV Plus on September 17, the UBA-NBN merger will be a done deal, and the newsroom will find itself dealing with a new slew of challenges as it tries to keep its audience informed about the truth.

Beyond just the “coming soon” Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, this Anime Expo 2025 teaser from Netflix highlights other animated releases that are either new or continuing, like Sakamoto Days, Beastars, Leviathan, and Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, and the upcoming “cozy MMO,” Spirit Crossing, that’s part of its new plan for games.

Following its theatrical preview earlier this summer, the second of Science Saru’s Dan Da Dan adaptation is finally streaming on Crunchyroll, Netflix, Hulu, and a few other streaming platforms depending on which territory you live in. You can also check out the new season’s opening and closing credits sequences on YouTube.

It’s been a bit since we’ve heard from Apple about its adaptation of William Gibson’s seminal cyberpunk novel Neuromancer. And while it’ll likely be quite some time before we actually see the series, today brings some good news: the show is officially in production.

The new trailer for Marvel’s Eyes of Wakanda Disney Plus series doesn’t give all that much away, but it does make the show look like it’s going to be cool as hell when it premieres on August 6th.

Wong Kar-wai, the director behind Chungking Express and In the Mood For Love, made his first TV series with the 30-episode-long Blossoms Shanghai, which aired in China in 2023. And soon you’ll be able to watch it yourself: it’s coming to the Criterion Channel “later this year.”

In case you were wondering what sorts of new / returning series and movies are making their way to Apple TV Plus this year, the studio has just dropped a sizzle reel teasing some of what we can expect to see from Chief of War, Invasion season 3, Foundation season 3, Slow Horses season 5, and more.

The latest trailer for Marvel’s Ironheart Disney Plus series is (thankfully) light on plot details, but it’s chock full of snazzy shots of Riri Williams’ latest suit, which seems like it’s going to be able to channel magical energies when the show premieres on June 24th.
