Well, here’s some fun news: The Bear will return for season 3 on June 27. Like previous seasons, every episode will be released at once on FX on Hulu. You can watch the release date announcement video courtesy of star Jeremy Allen White‘s Instagram below.
There’s no official logline for season 3 yet, but last December, Allen White teased what to expect.
“I do know in January I’m going to spend a fair amount of time getting together with some chefs. There’ll be a menu set, I believe, that’s going to be for the restaurant in the third season,” he told Variety. “And I know that I’m going to start putting together that menu with different chefs. We all did a lot of preparation before the first season. I went to culinary school and I spent a lot of time in restaurants. And then, for the second season, so much of it was about putting the restaurant together, so there wasn’t that much cooking. But now, in the third season, I think we’re going to go back to that functioning kitchen atmosphere that we had in the first.”
The Bear also stars Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ayo Edebiri, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, and Matty Matheson.

The upcoming season is set to premiere on May 10th on Disney+, where Ncuti Gatwa will play the fifteenth iteration of the infamous Doctor/alien being. Gatwa first appeared in the 2023 Christmas Special to take over for David Tennant. Gatwa is joined by Millie Gibson as the Doctor’s newest companion, Ruby.
As with any Doctor Who season, there will be some intergalactic travel that will likely be met with minor inconveniences and side quests like dinosaurs or brooding artists. Season fourteen will consist of eight episodes, including one Beatles-centric tale. But don’t expect to hear “Hey Jude.”
Episode one, aptly titled “Space Babies,” was penned by Davies himself. In fact, Davies wrote six of the eight episodes, while fan-favorite Steven Moffat also returned to write his own episode, titled “Boom,” marking his first contribution to the series since 2017. Earlier this year, Moffat confirmed the news, “There was begging, there was pleading but finally Russell agreed to let me have another go – so long as I got out of his garden. Working with old friends and a brand new Doctor I couldn’t be happier,” he told The Radio Times. Loki EP Katie Herron also penned an episode in the upcoming season.
New episodes of Doctor Who will drop weekly on Disney+ through June 22nd. Check out the trailer below:
Each week our staff of film and television experts surveys the entertainment landscape to select the ten best new/newish shows available for you to stream at home. We put a lot of thought into our selections, and our debates on what to include and what not to include can sometimes get a little heated and feelings may get hurt, but so be it, this is an important service for you, our readers. With that said, here are our selections for this week.
If you’re going to do unadulterated nostalgia, at least make it as fun (and occasionally devastating) as X-Men ‘97. The Disney Plus animated series is a continuation of X-Men: The Animated Series, which aired from 1992 to 1997, and follows the team of mutants as they do mutant-like things. Do we really need to explain what the X-Men show is about? It’s about the X-Men.
The last time Park Chan-wook directed a limited series, it was The Little Drummer Girl. That turned out pretty good. Now, the Korean filmmaker is back with another excellent addition to his filmography.
Based on author Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer-winning novel of the same, The Sympathizer is described as “an espionage thriller and cross-culture satire about the struggles of a half-French, half-Vietnamese communist spy during the final days of the Vietnam War and his new life as a refugee in Los Angeles, where he learns that his spying days aren’t over.” The cast is led by Hoa Xuande and Oscar winner Robert Downey Jr., who plays multiple characters.
Fallout is an adaptation of Bethesda’s behemoth franchise, a story set within the retro-futuristic world that’s captivated console users for years and years. Yes, there are delightful little nods to in-game storylines – Pip-Boys and Nuka-Cola and Radaway, but they either serve a larger purpose or don’t linger for too long, ensuring that the show stands on its own two feet. Long-time gamers should have little to gripe about while those craving better genre fare amidst the streaming glut should come away satisfied. Whether you know its history or not, Fallout is a f*cking blast of a sci-fi show that defies expectations in the most unconventional of ways (and turned Walton Goggins into a sex symbol).
There’s no Keanu Reeves (yet), but Knuckles should delight the lil’ Sonic fans in your home. The Paramount Plus series has Idris Elba reprising his role as the red echidna from the movies, while the rest of the cast includes Adam Pally, Cary Elwes, Edi Patterson, and Stockard Channing. Over the course of six episodes, Knuckles goes on a “journey of self-discovery as he agrees to train [Pally’s character] Wade as his protégé and teach him the ways of the Echidna warrior.” Is it too much to hope for a Big the Cat cameo?
The less you learn in advance about Baby Reindeer, the better. Just know that it’s one of the most talked-about shows of the year so far, and it’s getting favorably compared to I May Destroy You and Fleabag. Don’t waste your time speculating, as requested by creator and star Richard Gadd. Watch it.
The latest Neil Gaiman project to be turned into a show is Dead Boy Detectives. It’s a lot of fun. Creepy, but fun. The series follows two sleuths, Edwin Payne (played by George Rexstrew) and Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri), who track down the world’s most elusive ghosts and demons. Did I mention that Edwin and Charles are also ghosts? That’s important to know, as is this: co-creator Steve Yockey compared Dead Boy Detectives to “The Hardy Boys on acid.” OK!
Apple TV’s breakout hit The Big Door Prize returns for a second season, which follows “the residents of Deerfield as the Morpho machine readies them for the mysterious ‘next stage.’ As everyone’s potentials are exchanged for visions, new relationships form and new questions are asked,” according to the official plot synopsis. Chris O’Dowd is back, as is Josh Segarra, in case you’re missing Lance from The Other Two. I know I am.
The international spy thriller from creator Steven Knight stars Elisabeth Moss and Yumna Marwan as “two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London. One woman has a secret, the other a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost.” You had me at Elisabeth Moss.
You’ve probably heard about this one. Anyone But You, which has Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell pretending to be the world’s most attractive couple (both on- and off-screen), grossed $219 million at the box office. That’s a massive amount of money for a romantic-comedy. Now it’s on Netflix, in case you want to watch Sweeney sing “Unwritten” to Powell’s naked butt on a loop.
This darkly comedic thriller from Neon stars a young woman named Eileen (played by Thomasin McKenzie) whose ho-hum life working at a juvenile detention facility is interrupted by her new co-worker, glamorous psychologist Rebecca (Anne Hathaway). The pair quickly bond, but things are more disturbing than they seem…
To quote Kimberly Ricci’s glowing review: “Through a skillful turn from the Hacks writers, the third season does something different than its two predecessors and succeeds mightily. Is the power struggle completely over? No way, but there is no question that these two women are meant to be together, and that they enhance each other professionally. As well, they somehow begin to really connect on a personal level and — wait for it — make each other better humans. It sounds sappy, but it rolls well.”
Black Twitter: A People’s History is a three-part documentary series from Insecure showrunner Prentice Penny that “charts the rise, the movements, the voices and the memes that made Black Twitter an influential and dominant force in nearly every aspect of American political and cultural life,” according to the official synopsis. Those interviewed include author Roxane Gay, comedian W. Kamau Bell, and journalist Jemele Hill.
An actually sexy romantic-comedy, what a concept! The Idea of You stars Anne Hathaway as a single mom who attends Coachella with her teenage daughter. While there, she meets Hayes Campbell, played by Bottoms breakout Nicholas Galitzine, the lead singer of the boy band August Moon. The two begin a romance that definitely (wink) isn’t inspired by Harry Styles. The Idea of You is getting rave reviews, as it should: Anne Hathaway rules.
Zac Efron gives an Oscar-worthy performance in this A24 drama about the Von Erich family of wrestlers. The Iron Claw, which also stars Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, Maura Tierney, Stanley Simons, Holt McCallany, and Lily James, is definitely worth watching, but fair warning: it’s a heartbreaker. If you were waiting to watch it at home because you didn’t want to ugly-cry in public at a theater, now’s your chance.
Doctor Who is separated into two eras: the original run from 1963 to 1989 and the relaunch, which began in 2005 and continues to this day. The new season is the 14th since it was revived, but it’s officially referred to as “Doctor Who Season One.” Got all that? If you’re a Doctor Who fan, obviously. But to everyone else who is extremely confused, it’s never been easier to watch the iconic British series now that it’s on Disney Plus with Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor and Millie Gibson as his companion, the wonderfully-named Ruby Sunday. Is it too soon to dream of a TARDIS at Disneyland?
Things are going pretty well for Karl-Anthony Towns on the basketball court, as he’s playing the best postseason ball of his career and the Minnesota Timberwolves find themselves with a 2-0 series lead on the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Semifinals. And before Game 3 happens on Friday night, Towns is being recognized for his work off the court, as the Wolves start was named as the NBA’s Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Social Justice Champion.
Towns was announced as the winner on Thursday, joining Carmelo Anthony, Reggie Bullock, and Stephen Curry as those who have taken home the award since its inception ahead of the 2020-21 campaign. His candidacy for the award revolved around his work around voting rights, mass incarceration, and education — you can read more about his work in these various fields right here.
A board member for the National Basketball Social Justice Coalition, this is not the first time that Towns has been nominated for this honor, as he previously was a finalist in 2021-22. As a result of his win, the NBA will make a donation of $100,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities on behalf of the Timberwolves big man.
Towns was one of five players who were announced as finalists for this year’s Social Justice Champion award. He beat out Miami’s Bam Adebayo, New Orleans’ CJ McCollum, Oklahoma City’s Lindy Waters III and Los Angeles’ Russell Westbrook.
As we know, baby name trends are constantly changing. One generation’s Barbara is another generation’s Bethany. But it doesn’t make it any less odd when you suddenly realize that your very own name has suddenly made it into the “old and unhip” pile. And for many of us 80s babies…that time is now.
In a now-viral TikTok post, baby name consultant Colleen Slagen went through the top 100 girl names from 1986 to find which ones “did not age well” and were no longer ranked top 1,000 today. Such a descent from popularity would mark them as what she calls “timestamp names.”
Spoiler alert: what might be even more surprising than the names now considered old school are the names that are still going strong.
The first name that Slagen says is “officially out” is Heather. That’s right, not even cult movie fame could help it keep its ranking.
Other extinct names include Erica, Courtney, Lindsay, Tara, Crystal, Shannon, Brandy and Dana. Tiffany, Brittany and Casey are also heading very much in that direction.
“My name is Brandy. The Gen Z hostess at Olive Garden told me that she’d never heard my name before and it was so unique,” one viewer wrote.
However, Andrea ranks “surprisingly high,” and Jessica, Ashley and Stephanie have survived…so far.
Gobsmacked, one person asked “How is Stephanie still in there? I don’t think I’ve met a Stephanie younger than myself at 34.”
But the biggest holdout still belongs to Jennifer. “She was a top 100 name all the way up until 2008. Round of applause for Jennifer,” Slagen says in the clip.
If your name has found its way into relic of a bygone era status, fret not. Slagen, whose name also ranks out of the top 1000, assures it just means “we are creatures of the 80’s.”
Of course, while we still have baby names that become incredibly common for extended periods of time (looking at you, little Liam and Olivia), the real contemporary trend is going for uniqueness. As an article in The Atlantic notes, for most of American history families tended to name their children after a previous family member, with the goal of blending in, rather than standing out. But now, things have changed.
Laura Wattenberg, the founder of Namerology, told the outlet that “Parents are thinking about naming kids more like how companies think about naming products, which is a kind of competitive marketplace where you need to be able to get attention to succeed.”
But again, even with a keen eye on individualism, patterns pop up. “The same thing we see in fashion trend cycles, we see in names,” Jessie Paquette, another professional baby namer, told Vox. “We’re seeing Eleanor, Maude, Edith—cool-girl grandma names.”
So who knows…give it time (or maybe just a pop song) and one of these 80s names could make a comeback.
Over the two months, Gunna has been rolling out his fifth studio album, One Of Wun. Beginning with the release of the album’s first single, “Prada Dem,” featuring Offset, and culminating with the reveal of the tracklist just yesterday, Gunna has turned up the hype for One Of Wun with every move. Now, the only thing left to do is drop the album, which he’ll do Friday, May 10 (tomorrow). So, when can you stream the new album on Spotify?
The album will be on DSPs at midnight Eastern, 9 PM Pacific.
Incidentally, it looks like there might be one wrench in the works of Gunna’s master plan, though. Just days ago, Future announced the release of his own mixtape, after releasing two joint albums with Metro Boomin. Now, fans think Gunna and Future might just have joined in the widespread wave of conflict sweeping the hip-hop world. Fortunately, this time, Gunna won’t have to go it alone; in addition to Offset, his album tracklist (which you can see below) will also include another frequent collaborator, Roddy Ricch.
One Of Wun is out May 10 via Young Stoner Life Records / 300 Entertainment. You can get more info here.

Jerry Seinfeld is currently in the middle of his “I’m sorry I hurt your feelings while promoting Unfrosted” tour after briefly stopping by Saturday Night Live last weekend as “Man Who Did Too Much Press.” But he’s aware of it.
But now he is trying to take back some of the stuff he said while he was trying to get you to see his pop-tart movie. On this week’s episode of the Fly On The Wall podcast with David Spade and Dana Carvey, Seinfeld joked that his buddy Howard Stern doesn’t really have “comedy chops.”
While the trio were discussing comedy podcasts He said, “Howard Stern intvented this, right? We’re better than him now,” Seinfeld continued, before adding. “Howard is interesting. Howard is a great interviewer, but comedy chops, I mean, can we speak candidly?” When the hosts agreed, he continued, “Yeah, they’re all great but let’s face it, he’s been outflanked by some very, and yourselves, I mean absolutely, this show, comedy podcast? This is the best one on the air,” Seinfeld added. “Because you guys play nice together, it’s smooth, you’re not jumping on each other, which is annoying to listen to,” he confessed.
While Stern has yet to respond to Seinfeld comments, the comedian wanted to get ahead of the curve and already apologized for the comments. “I really feel bad for what I said about my friend Howard Stern in a conversation with David Spade and Dana Carvey, talking about the glut of comedy podcasts,” he told TMZ, the leading outlet for apologies. “I meant to say he must feel surrounded but I said ‘outflanked’ which sounded terrible and insulting. And of course, none of these little shows are any threat to his giant show. Anyway, it was bad and I’m sorry, Howie. I still love you. Please forgive me.”
When we last heard about Chief Keef’s fifth studio album, Almighty So 2, the “I Don’t Like” rapper was aiming for a spring 2023 release date. However, Keef clearly felt that the album still wasn’t quite ready — despite having been in the works for nearly five years at the time — and again delayed the release. This week, though, he not only gave fans a solid release date, but he also announced it with a dramatic trailer, which you can watch above. So, when can you finally give Almighty So 2 a stream on Apple Music (or the DSP of your choice)?
Well, Almighty So 2 is due on Friday, May 10 via Keef’s independent label 43B. That means it will most likely be available to stream at midnight Eastern (9 PM Pacific). One of the benefits of being independent means that Keef has more flexibility to set release dates — hence the long wait for the album’s release — but it also means that the veteran rapper has dotted all his “i”s and crossed all his “t”s if he’s finally determined the album is ready to put out.
Almighty So 2 is due on 5/10 and will feature G Herbo, Lil Gnar, Quavo, Sexyy Red, and Tierra Whack, with production from Mike Will Made It. You can find more info here.
The New York Knicks, somehow, managed to take a 2-0 series lead on the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night, as they came back from 10 down at halftime to win by nine in Game 2, despite Jalen Brunson injuring his foot in the first half (he returned for the second) and OG Anunoby missing the entire fourth quarter with a hamstring injury.
Despite those various injuries, the Knicks continue to outwork and out-execute the Pacers in fourth quarters, but one has to wonder at what point New York reaches a point where having to play their main guys 48 minutes or close to it catches up. Many expect that to come next round against the Boston Celtics (provided they take care of business against the Cavs after going up 1-0).
Charles Barkley is among those who think Boston will “stomp” New York or Indiana in the conference finals, but he explained after Game 2 he hopes it’s New York because he’s tired of New Yorkers thinking they’re so great.
“Y’all think y’all the greatest thing since sliced bread.”
Shaq couldn’t resist a chance to derail Chuck’s rant by getting him to talk about his love for the street meat, and succeeded as Barkley made sure everyone knew that street meat (along with pizza and bagels) were worthy of New York exceptionalism. Chuck proclaimed, “You know I ain’t gonna say nothin’ bad about the street meat. You know I love the street meat,” which is all Shaq needed to go into another fit of laughter.
