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.

15. Severance (Apple TV Plus)

After a long, long break, one of the best shows on TV is back. Severance picks up where season 1 left off, with Mark (Adam Scott), Helly (Helly Riggs), Dylan (Dylan), and Irving (Irving Bailiff) trifling with the severance barrier, “leading them further down a path of woe,” according to the cryptic Apple TV Plus synopsis. There are so many mysteries left to answer: what’s the deal with Ms. Casey (Dichen Lachman)? What’s the deal with Seth Milchick (series MVP Tramell Tillman)? And seriously, what’s the deal with the freaking goats?

14. Common Side Effects (Max)

Mike Judge and Greg Daniels have been attached to some of the best TV comedies of the last 30 years, including Parks and Recreation, The Simpsons, and The Office for Daniels and Beavis and Butt-Head and Silicon Valley for Judge. They also co-created King of the Hill. Their latest collaboration is producing Common Side Effects, a surreal Adult Swim animated series about the “world’s greatest medicine” from creators Joseph Bennett (Scavengers Reign) and Steve Hely (30 Rock). Episodes will stream the next day on Max.

13. Mythic Quest (Apple TV Plus)

A new season of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia is coming later this year, but don’t forget about Rob McElhenney’s other excellent comedy series. Mythic Quest season 4 (also the show’s final season) brings everyone — including McElhenney’s Ian, Charlotte Nicdao’s Poppy, and Danny Pudi’s Brad — back together at Mythic Quest HQ, where they’ll confront “new challenges amongst a changing video game landscape as stars rise, egos clash, relationships bloom and everyone tries to have a little more work life balance.” I’ll miss Ian and Poppy’s Don and Peggy-like fraught yet platonic relationship the most.

12. The White Lotus (Max)

The White Lotus returns with a new location (Thailand) and a new group of talented actors playing emotionally- and spiritually-empty rich folks. The cast includes Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs, Blackpink’s Lisa, Michelle Monaghan, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Aimee Lou Wood. “I do feel like the other seasons were a rehearsal for this one,” creator Mike White teased.

11. Nosferatu (Peacock)

Is the Count Orlok voice the new Bane voice? Judge for yourself with Nosferatu, the latest film from The Lighthouse and The Northman director Robert Eggers. The gothic tale is creepy, sexy, and has wonderful performances from Lily-Rose Depp, Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, and Willem Dafoe. It’s great, unless you don’t like rats. Then maybe skip it.

Watch it on Peacock

10. A Thousand Blows (Hulu)

There’s a Peaky Blinders movie coming out soon, but before then, creator Steven Knight has a new show on Hulu. A Thousand Blows is about the world of underground boxing in 1880s Victorian London, as well as the all-female crime syndicate Forty Elephants. The cast includes Malachi Kirby, Erin Doherty, Francis Lovehall, and Stephen Graham, giving the show a Peaky connection.

8. Reacher (Prime Video)

You know what time is it? It’s Reacher o’clock. In season 3, the big guy meets an even bigger guy. He also “hurtles into the dark heart of a vast criminal enterprise when trying to rescue an undercover DEA informant whose time is running out,” according to the Prime Video synopsis. “There, he finds a world of secrecy and violence and confronts some unfinished business from his own past.” Every episode is basically the same, which is to say, they’re all a lot of fun.

8. Venom: The Last Dance (Netflix)

The Venom trilogy (an objectively funny collection of words) comes to an end with Venom: The Last Dance. There’s sadly no Michelle “I’m Sorry About Venom” Williams, but Tom Hardy is back as Eddie Brock / the Looney Tunes-inspired voice of Venom. This time, they’re on the run and forced into a “devastating decision.” Is it not giving horse and frog Venom their own spin-off movie? Because they deserved one.

7. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (Netflix)

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is one of the most purely enjoyable big-budget movies of the 2020s. So I will never understand why it underperformed at the box office. The people weren’t ready for Chris Pine’s melting face, I guess. But hopefully enough people watch Honor Among Thieves on Netflix that a sequel gets the greenlight. Do it for Jarnathan.

6. Running Point (Netflix)

Mindy Kaling’s comedy empire expands with Running Point. The series stars Kate Hudson as Isla Gordon, a high-powered executive who is unexpectedly put in charge of her family’s pro basketball team, the Los Angeles Waves. The cast also includes Scott MacArthur, Drew Tarver, Max Greenfield, and the suddenly-everywhere (which, to be clear, is a very good thing) Brenda Song.

Watch it on Netflix

5. The Gutter (Hulu)

The Gutter premiered at South By Southwest in 2024 to strong reviews. Now that the 2025 edition of the Austin-based festival is here, the bowling comedy directed by Yassir Lester lands on Hulu. The plot follows Walt (played by Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’s Shameik Moore), who lands a job at a bowling alley, and is soon pressured by former pro-bowler and current champion drinker Skunk (The Good Place‘s D’Arcy Carden) to accept his role as the greatest bowler ever put on this earth.

Watch it on Hulu

4. How To Have Sex (Netflix)

Mubi had its biggest year yet in 2024, thanks mostly to the box office success of Best Picture nominee The Substance. But don’t overlook another really good film from the indie distributor: director Molly Manning Walker’s How To Have Sex, which follows three 16-year-old women during a spring break trip to Greece. This is no Road Trip, however; it’s a thoughtful examination of consent with a star-making performance from Mia McKenna-Bruce.

Watch it on Netflix

3. Deli Boys (Hulu)

Hulu’s Deli Boys is a crime-comedy about a pair of pampered Pakistani-American brothers who lose everything following their father’s sudden death and are forced to reckon with his secret life of misdeeds as they try to take up his mantle in the underworld. The cast includes Asif Ali, Saagar Shaikh, and Poorna Jagannathan.

Watch it on Hulu

2. Heretic (Max)

You know who rocks? Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East. Between Yellowjackets and Companion, Thatcher is everywhere all of a sudden (not a complaint), while East gave a “who is that and where can I see more of her”-level performance in The Fabelmans; she’s also reportedly in Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming movie. Together, you can see them in Heretic, where they play Mormon missionaries who attempt to convert a man (Hugh Grant!) who is more dangerous — and creepy — than he seems.

1. Daredevil: Born Again (Disney Plus)

Ben and Jen (Garner) are in the headlines, and there’s a new Daredevil project. What year is it, 2003? Daredevil: Born Again brings back Charlie Cox as blind crime-fighting lawyer Matt Murdock, as well as Vincent D’Onofrio as mob boss Wilson Fisk, who is pursuing his own political endeavors. “When their past identities begin to emerge, both men find themselves on an inevitable collision course,” the official logline reads. Get ready for a kick-ass one-shot fight scene.

Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. Well, we called it last week — predicting that it was going to be hard for March to compete with the fire month that was February, and here we are in the first full week of a new month, and we have a short list of just six noteworthy drops. The month officially has three weeks to redeem itself.

From what is dropping this week, you can already see hints of spring, as the colorways are getting brighter and cleaner, and there is 100% less GORE-TEX. No shade intended toward GORE-TEX, but we’re ready for winter to end already. While this is a short week for notable drops, if you like brands other than Nike, things are looking pretty good as Adidas, New Balance, and even Crocs found spots on our best of the week list.

But enough talk; here are the best sneakers of the week.

Nike NOCTA Air Force 1 Pink Foam

Price: $160

Drake has a new album out, and even though the Canadian rapper has fallen out of fashion with hip-hop heads, the best way back into people’s good graces is by releasing good stuff. His collaborative album with PARTYNEXTDOOR Some Sexy Songs 4 U is gaining some serious streams, and this new all-pink NOCTA take on the Air Force 1 is one of his best sneaker drops ever, so it looks like Drake is at least trying.

The NOCTA AF-1 Pink Foam features a monochromatic soft pink colorway with a custom midsole that reads “Love You Forever,” a reference to Drake’s favorite childhood book. Our only question is: why didn’t Drake drop this during Valentine’s Day? Seems like a slam dunk. Whatever, better late than never.

The Nike NOCTA Air Force 1 Pink Foam is set to drop on March 7th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $160. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

Thisisneverthat x New Balance 1000 Silver With Valiant Poppy

Price: $159.99

New Balance has teamed up with the South Korean streetwear brand Thisisneverthat for a shiny take on the 1000. In a departure from the regular build, this 1000 sports a mesh underlay with synthetic overlays, co-branding at the heel, sockliner, and tongue tag, and nylon eyelets.

It comes across like a slightly deconstructed and more lightweight take on the 1000. We didn’t ask for it, but now that its here, we’ll gladly take it! Build aside (which we imagine might make some torn on whether to pick this one up) the colorway, with its mix of silver, red, and white, looks great and has a sort of retro vibe that we love.

The Thisisneverthat x New Balance 1000 Silver is set to drop on March 7th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $159.99. Pick up a pair at New Balance.

BAPE x Crocs Classic Clog

Price: $80

It’s been a minute since we’ve gotten a truly noteworthy Croc. Is Crocs moment in the spotlight finally over? We’re not sure; we’re certainly seeing less of them on the street lately, but that might change now that the clog-slinging brand has teamed up with streetwear heavyweights BAPE.

The BAPE clog drops in three colorways that combine the brand’s iconic camo pattern (in green, blue, and pink) with Croc’s iconic shape. The dual-branded sneakers release alongside some BAPE-themed Jibbitz for customization.

The BAPE x Crocs Classic Cog is set to drop on March 7th for a retail price of $80. Pick up a pair at BAPE before the wide release at Crocs next week.

Fear of God Athletics II (Putty Beige)

Price: $180

Adidas drawing in Jerry Lorenzo’s Fear of God is one of the best moves the brand has made this decade, and we sneakerheads are reaping the benefits. The latest from Fear of God, The Athletics II features a low-profile shape, with a premium suede build, and monofilament striped panels that remove some weight and add a bit more breathability.

The sneaker sits on that iconic Fear of God milky midsole, with embossed branding on the heel and toe.

The Adidas Fear of God Athletics II is set to drop on March 8th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $180. Pick up a pair at Adidas.

Fear of God Athletics II High Top (Putty Beige)

Price: $200

If you’re not feeling the low-profile design of the Athletics II, rejoice, because Lorenzo’s got two versions! This high-top take features the same premium suede build with a high-collared strap build for a more boot-like appearance.

Honestly, both look great, and our decision on which to get could be satisfied by a simple coin flip.

The Fear of God Athletics II High Top is set to drop on March 8th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $200. Pick up a pair at Adidas.

Nike Women’s Air Jordan 4 Abundance

Price: $215

The Air Jordan 4 Abundance, together with the NOCTA Hot Pink AF-1 makes it seem like Nike is trying to push us into Easter early. With these dual pastel releases, it looks like Nike is ready for spring, and we’re here for it.

The Abundance is a women’s size exclusive AJ-4 with a milky mint colorway that mixes Seafoam and Sail with metallic accents. We love it! The only criticism we have is we wish this was released in a full-size run.

The Nike Women’s Air Jordan 4 Abundance is set to drop on March 8th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $215. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

Apple TV+’s Severance is in the home stretch of the second season, and the fact that viewers will soon be awaiting a third season will soon get real. Surely, there won’t be another three-year wait, but we’re counting the goats ahead of the chickens here. There are plenty of other sci-fi series on the same streaming service, and Severance‘s Innies might need a break anyway. They’ve been through a lot lately, especially last week with Dichen Lachman being fully realized as Gemma Scout, wife to Mark, rather than simply Ms. Casey.

Next week, the penultimate season episode will arrive, but first, a more timely question exists.

When Will Severance Season 2, Episode 8 Be Available?

March 7.

This week’s episode, “Sweet Vitriol,” clocks in at only 37 minutes long with the following description: “Discoveries are made.”

They really do not want to give anything away. Yet Jessica Lee Gagné, director of last week’s episode, reflected upon introducing Gemma-in-the-flesh during an interview with Esquire. In doing so, she hinted about this show finally reaching the point when secrets must be divulged:

“At some point, you have to start getting into it. Having the control room—which is that green room where the watchers are basically looking at [MDR]—was a huge challenge, because that was a commitment. Okay, we’re going to start talking about what’s happening here and how this all works. You can’t deliver all of that at the end, because it’s so complex and involves more than one character now. You need to give yourself the time and space to get there.”

Severance streams on Apple TV+

Sometimes the best new R&B can be hard to find, but there are plenty of great rhythm-and-blues tunes to get into if you have the time to sift through the hundreds of newly released songs every week. So that R&B heads can focus on listening to what they love in its true form, we’ll be offering a digest of the best new R&B songs that fans of the genre should hear every Friday.

Since the last update of this weekly R&B column, we’ve received plenty of music and news from the genre’s artists.

Drake and PartyNextDoor’s Some Sexy Songs 4 U debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 while Coco Jones announced her Why Not More? Tour dates. Chxrry22 unveiled a snow-covered video for “Just Like Me” and Roberta Flack, the legendary singer behind “Killing Me Softly,” sadly passed away at the age of 88.

Here are the new music releases you need to listen to:

Fridayy — Some Days I’m Good, Some Days I’m Not

Nearly two years after his self-titled debut album, Fridayy returns with his second LP, Some Days I’m Good, Some Days I’m Not. The double-disc project offers 21 songs with features from Teni, Wale, Kehlani, Joé Dwèt Filé, Chris Brown, Meek Mill, and Llona. “There’s no lane I can’t touch at a high level,” Fridayy said about the album. “I’ll give you a life record, an uplifting record, a R&B love song, a rap song, or a pop song. I feel like I can do anything, and I just want this project to reach as many ears as possible.”

Highlights: “Shotgun” Feat. Wale, “Saving My Love” Feat. Kehlani, and “Proud Of Me” Feat. Meek Mill.

Alex Isley — “Hands”

I have great news: 2025 brings new music from the incomparable Alex Isley. She begins with “Hands,” her first single since 2023’s I Left My Heart In Ladera. Isley’s new single is equal parts soulful and passionate in what makes for an excellent start for her 2025 campaign, one that promises a new EP and album by year’s end.

Honey Bxby — “Right On Time”

New Jersey singer Honey Bxby recently announced her upcoming Raw Honey EP and with that announcement comes her new single “Right On Time.” The breezy single blends pop and R&B sounds as Honey Bxby sends an ex home with their bags packed as she celebrates the arrival of a more formidable lover.

Lila Iké — “Too Late To Lie”

With her album on the way, Jamaican singer Lila Iké tackles heartbreak and its aftermath on the honest single “Too Late To Lie.” The record is a humble offering of vulnerability as Iké is forced to accept the decision her past lover made. “While this song is predominantly a song about heartbreak, it also highlights the importance of protecting one’s space and energy,” Iké says about the song. “It highlights the importance of being vigilant about where you invest your time, energy, and trust.”

Johnny Venus and 6lack — “So Beautiful”

Johnny Venus, one-half of Dreamville duo Earthgang, recently inked a deal with Sincethe80s/Epic Records and released his debut solo single “So Beautiful” with fellow Atlanta singer 6lack. “This is my saga,” Venus says of his decision to set out to be a solo artist. “This is the story that I’m telling about myself and my journey and growth, but there will still be those easter eggs.”

Jaz Karis & Kenyon Dixon — “LYTM (Remix)”

Jaz Karis’ Safe Flight was by far one of my favorite R&B albums of 2024, and in case it fell out of your rotation or slipped by your ears, Karis is back with a sweet new reminder. She returns with a remix to “LYTM” alongside Kenyon Dixon, who adds on a silky smooth verse that’s full of love and passion, in line with the song’s central message.

Raiche — “Standards”

After releasing her Making Room EP in 2024, Raiche isn’t wasting time getting back to work. She checks back in with “Standards” which arrives as the slick single makes it clear that a certain love interest isn’t up to par with her expectations in romance.

Felix Ames — “Cruel, Cruel World”

After giving us a deluxe reissue of Jena last year, Milwaukee singer Felix Ames is back to work with his first single of the year. “Cruel, Cruel World” is an honest cut about Ames’ struggles to move on from a past relationship and forget about a woman that once meant so much to her.

Ilham — “Roster”

Moroccan-American singer-songwriter Ilham puts her confidence on full display with her new single “Roster.” It’s a scathing record aimed at an ex who refuses to stay in the past. “I wrote “Roster” freshly heartbroken, wanting to create a song that offered some escapism,” Ilham said about the song. “We wrote the song imagining a more empowered version of myself. Even if I didn’t feel that way in my reality, I wanted myself and the listener to feel in control, confident, and on top of the world.”

RealestK — “Deja Vu”

Toronto singer RealestK gets the ball moving in 2025 with his new single “Deja Vu.” The emotional single showcases RealestK’s yearning desire to spend the next years of his life next to his significant other as he sings, “I’m not crazy when I’m saying I saw you in my dreams / It’s like déjà vu.”

Aqyila — “Wolf”

Canadian singer Aqyila just announced Falling Into Place with her new single “Wolf.” The record swipes at an ex who “cried wolf” one too many times, singing that “you and truth are incompatible.” As for Falling Into Place, that album drops on March 28.

Avenoir — “Art Of War”

Avenoir keeps things moving in 2025 with “Art Of War,” his second record of the year following “Crisis Evasion.” The new song dives into the complex emotions and dynamics of romantic relationships, and it lands as another strong release that will hopefully lead to more music from the Canadian singer.

Joe Kay — “Slow It Down” With Cruza and Isaiah Falls

Famed Soulection founder Joe Kay begins his official evolution from curator and DJ to full-fledged artist with his new single “Slow It Down.” The song features Isaiah Falls and Cruza and blends R&B, soul, and electronic influences for a seductive track that is the lead single to Kay’s upcoming EP.

Stranger Things, It, and Ghostbusters star Finn Wolfhard has already put some significant miles on when it comes to his music career, as the 22-year-old has released music with his bands Calpurnia and The Aubreys. Now, though, he’s going about it alone: Today (March 6), he announced his debut solo album, Happy Birthday.

That’s set for June 6, and today, he shared the lead single “Choose The Latter,” which teases him continuing in the nostalgic rock direction established with his previous projects.

Wolfhard notes in a press release that the album started with him challenging himself to write 50 songs by the end of 2022:

“I ended up writing a lot of terrible stuff, but a few of those songs I was really proud of went to the Aubreys. I started realizing a general theme in a lot of the other songs involving my identity, anxieties, nostalgia, childhood and loneliness. All of that was a part of a bigger puzzle. I knew I wanted to make a record, but I didn’t know with which songs.”

He also says of his music career more generally:

“Music for me has always been something that I can control. And while I’m really grateful for acting and for a long time, it really provided me that peace, it’s just a different thing now that I’m an adult and that it’s a career. I still enjoy it a lot, but when I am by myself and get to play guitar and write a song, it’s a different kind of feeling I’m after.”

Listen to “Choose The Latter” above, and find the Happy Birthday album art and tracklist below.

Last year, Charli XCX changed the covers of her previous albums on streaming services to match the instantly-iconic Brat aesthetic, just with different colors. Gone is Charli XCX in a bikini on the hood of a car, having been replaced by the word “Crash” over an all-blue background. With the Brat Tour coming to an end in a few months, does Charli plan on changing the covers back?

“I see that you want this, I know that you want this, and I love that you want it. I love this narrative,” Charli XCX said on TikTok. “But all I’ll say is, every single thing that I’ve done, even the tiniest, smallest thing, has been for a reason. Like to the point where some people wouldn’t even know.” She continued, “What I’m saying is, everything has a purpose, everything I do has a purpose, and so when this happens, it will be for a reason.”

As for what’s next for Charli (other than her movie career), she told Variety, “I don’t really know. I’m kind of at this crossroads, I think, in my life now, where obviously my music has… yeah, reached this new level of success, I suppose. A lot has changed for me with this record, and I do experience things like people taking my photo when I don’t necessarily want them to, or feeling like people in the room are watching me. Sometimes I love that feeling and sometimes I don’t, so I don’t think there’s really a cut-and-dried answer.”

We, as a society, don’t talk enough about the fact that the star of one of the most popular shows on TV is named Millie Bobby Brown. “Millie”? Sure, that makes sense. But “Bobby Brown”? That name is already taken (and reminds me of the 30 Rock joke where Michael Sheen’s Wesley Snipes vents about the other Wesley Snipes). What’s even crazier is Millie Bobby Brown is not her real name, as the Stranger Things star revealed this week.

During an interview with BuzzFeed UK to promote Netflix’s The Electric State, MBB told co-star Chris Pratt that “my middle name is Bonnie.” After he jokingly wondered if that means her full name is “Millie Bobby Bonnie Brown,” she clarified, “No, it’s no Bobby. It’s Millie Bonnie Brown.” The actress added, “I’ve never told anyone that. You heard it here first.”

So, why the name change? Is it because she loves Ghostbusters II so much? Not exactly:

Still confused by the revelation, Pratt inquired, “Your middle name is Bonnie but you just changed it to Bobby for your stage name?”

“For sh*ts and giggles,” Brown teased, before confirming it was a stage name. “Oh sh*t!” Pratt exclaimed.

But along with a different middle name, Brown recently took on a new last name. Last May, the actress tied the knot with Jake Bongiovi, taking on the name of Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi.

A small but crucial name change? She really married into the right family.

The Electric State premieres on Netflix on March 14.

Remember when Bill Murray and Kelis were rumored to be dating? That was weird! Now, nearly two years later, the Ghostbusters actor discussed exactly what was going on there — and the way Ol’ Dirty Bastard is involved.

“I met this girl named Kelis. I got great press that I was dating her, which really raised my cred,” Murray said during a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s Sway In The Morning. “Well, it was false humility again.”

The actor first became aware of the “Milkshake” singer after watching the music video for “Got Your Money” by Ol’ Dirty Bastard. “That song just kills me,” he explained. “I love that video. And I kept going, ‘That’s the silliest thing. How did I miss that when it came out in the first place? It’s so crazy.’ And I’m going, ‘Who is that girl with the red hair?’ and it was Kelis. I just had to meet her some time. She turns out to be spectacular.”

Murray then gave an update on what Kelis is up to these days. “She bought land in Kenya, in Africa. She’s in Africa,” he said. “She is not afraid of the dark.”

Ultimately, they never actually dated, but Murray hasn’t ruled out the possibility of it happening one day. “Hey, you know, one of us could be on the rebound any second,” he joked. “She might need a plowman down there.”

Towards the end of last year, Taylor Swift wrapped up her historic The Eras Tour, which ended up selling about $2 billion in tickets. A few hundred fans who paid for their tickets, though, didn’t end up getting to use them, thanks to the efforts of some hackers.

The misdeeds aren’t going unpunished, though: As Deadline reports, Tyrone Rose and Shamara P. Simmons have been arrested and are facing charges of second degree grand larceny, first degree computer tampering, fourth degree conspiracy, and fourth degree computer tampering. Why? They’re accused of stealing over 900 digital concert tickets, primarily for The Eras Tour, and re-selling them on StubHub, ultimately profiting more than $600,000.

Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a statement, “According to the charges, these defendants tried to use the popularity of Taylor Swift’s concert tour and other high-profile events to profit at the expensive of others. They allegedly exploited a loophole through an offshore ticket vendor to steal tickets to the biggest concert tour of the last decade and then resold those seats for an extraordinary profit of more than $600,000.”

The operation also targeted concerts from Adele and Ed Sheeran, as well as NBA games and the US Open Tennis Championships. An investigation is ongoing.

Coldplay is two albums away from retirement, but they’re staying busy until then. The Music Of The Spheres World Tour was recently named the most-attended tour of all-time, and singer Chris Martin is working with FIFA to curate the first Super Bowl-style halftime show at the World Cup final at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium next year.

“I can confirm the first ever half-time show at a FIFA World Cup final in New York New Jersey, in association with (advocacy organization) Global Citizen. This will be a historic moment for the FIFA World Cup and a show befitting the biggest sporting event in the world,” FIFA president Gianni Infantino wrote on Instagram. “I also want to thank Chris Martin and [manager] Phil Harvey of Coldplay, who will be working with us at FIFA to finalize the list of artists who will perform during the halftime show, as well as at Times Square.”

It’s unclear if Coldplay will be the ones doing the performing (now’s your chance, Weird Al!). Infantino also didn’t reveal whether the halftime would be extended beyond the traditional 15 minutes.

Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour returns to the North America in May before wrapping up in London in August.
