Miniseries are definitely having a moment in the zeitgeist right now. They offer a middle ground between a long-form TV series that can span multiple seasons and a single film. In fact, one could argue that a major issue with modern miniseries is that they tend to play like 10-hour-long movies as opposed to an episodic series. Still, some manage to get it right, and there are many outstanding miniseries throughout the 2020s.

To be clear, a miniseries offers a complete story arc in a predetermined number of episodes. They don't go on for years, which can sometimes be a good thing for attracting talent.

"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" star Mariska Hargitay is no stranger to injuries. The performer notably hurt her ankle ahead of the procedural's 23rd season in 2021, with the medical setback resulting from an unfortunate accident in Hargitay's personal life. That said, the actor — who plays Olivia Benson on "Law & Order: Svu" and other series in the extended franchise — also hurt herself on the set of NBC's long-running crime drama before, as she ended up with a collapsed lung following a botched stunt in the fall of 2008.

"I was doing a stunt chasing a bad guy. I'd always...

Idris Elba has another crisis to manage when Hijack returns with its second season in January, but we’re already wondering what the future could hold for Sam Nelson. After all, who’s to say he won’t run into another problem that requires his skills? The Apple TV series premiered in 2023, with Sam facing hijackers on his flight as he tried to get home to reconcile with his ex-wife (Christine Adams). Now, it’s back for Season 2 on January 14, 2026, with Sam dealing with a crisis underground. Could there be more after that? Read on for everything we know so far about a potential Hijack Season 3, from a premiere date to the cast and more.

Even in the intensely volatile world of Showtime's long-running dark comedy "Shameless," a twist that happened between Seasons 4 and 5 confused many fans. 

Viewers will recall that the series followed the Gallagher family, which did its best to grow up and survive despite the unpredictable behavior of their alcoholic father, Frank (William H. Macy) and absentee mother. The confusing, between-seasons twist went like this:

In the Season 4 finale, eldest Gallagher sibling Fiona (Emmy Rossum) is hired by a diner owner named Charlie (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), who is willing to overlook her recent felony drug possession and child endangerment charges. When Season 5 starts,...

More than just typical scary shows, there is something hauntingly atmospheric about gothic horror television series. Drawing primarily from European folklore, these stories involve the supernatural malevolence normally associated with ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and other paranormal creatures from the region. Slashers and zombies need not apply here, nor monsters originating from other parts of the world, these are more old world terrors. There is also a quiet romanticism about gothic horror stories, often involving forbidden temptation and dangerous liaisons.

From period pieces capturing the historical depictions of these scary stories to dramatic modern retellings, there are plenty of popular gothic horror shows to check out.

Spoiler Alert: This post contains spoilers from Season 2, Episode 7 of “Landman,” “Forever Is an Instant,” which premiered Sunday, Dec. 28, on Paramount+.

Well, this week’s episode of “Landman” is officially the wackiest and horniest yet! Sure, it ends with a romantic proposal, but was any fan mentally prepared for that first scene? Let’s just say the room service waitress wasn’t the only person who almost ran away screaming! Brace yourself as we walk through this week’s episode.

Oh man, it begins with Tommy (Billy Bob Thornton) farting and showing an unblurred shot of his, um, lil’ landman?...

You know how, when an ornery cat finally sidles up to you and rubs itself against your legs, you pretend not to notice, because acknowledging the change in any fashion just makes the cat hiss and run away? That's how I feel about Tommy in this week's "Landman."

The guy is actively choosing kindness and peace where he's always gone for hard-headedness and chaos, and that growth is beautiful. (Did we have to sit through the erection-tastic cold open to get here? We did. Into every life a little penis humor must fall, I supposed.)

Cooper and Rebecca also have significant moments in the episode,...

[Warning: The following post contains Major spoilers for Mayor of Kingstown Season 4 Episode 10, “Belly of the Beast.”] Welp. Sometimes, revenge is a dish best served cold, and other times, it’s served in the very heated way Kyle McLusky (Taylor Handley) just served it in Mayor of Kingstown‘s Season 4 finale. The episode found Kyle and Mike (Jeremy Renner) on the hunt for Merle Callahan (Richard Brake) to get justice for what he did to poor Tracy (Nishi Munshi). Though Merle tried to turn himself in to the police station, knowing prison would be the safest place for him in the entire world, Ian (Hugh Dillon) was having none of that. With the reluctant blessing of his boss,...

[Warning: The following post contains spoilers for Landman Season 2 Episode 7, “Forever Is an Instant.”] Landman isn’t a sappy show. Far from. In fact, it’s probably best known for all of the hilariously caustic and cynical zingers that get slung around without abandon by its characters. However, Sunday’s (December 28) new episode was surprisingly mushy… at least, at the end. The episode started with its usual quippy cadence. Tommy (Billy Bob Thornton) managed to ruin a weekend away with Angela (Ali Larter) by accidentally showing his junk to a hotel attendant delivering a surprise breakfast while he was still in bed… with the remnants of his Cialis overload in full view. This devolved into an argument...

The backlash over Stranger Things’s fifth and final season continues. Now more than 110,000 fans have signed a Change.org petition demanding to see “unseen footage” from Season 5, Volume 2. “I believe [there] was more to the episodes, and we didn’t see [the deleted scenes] either due to Netflix or the team of Stranger Things cutting them,” the Change.org organizer, identified only as Wennii J, writes in the petition. “This has been a long, 10 year-process, and this is what we get. They must have cut out a lot of scenes from Volume 2 and from our loved characters.” Wennii J believes fans should get Netflix and Stranger Things co-creators Matt and Ross Duffer to...

Michael Chiklis' Vic Mackey is the heart (though not necessarily the soul, given his many misdeeds) of FX's "The Shield." The crime drama focuses on the LAPD Strike Team, a particularly brutal unit that deals with particularly brutal criminals. Unfortunately, Mackey's team is just as prone to breaking the law as the many folks it apprehends, which often puts it on the hot seat as the pressure mounts from both sides of the law.

Apart from numerous amazing recurring roles played by folks like Forest Whitaker, Michael Peña, and Glenn Close, the main characters are brought to life...

New Reagans are coming to Boston Blue. The creators of the Blue Bloods spinoff told TV Insider their intentions to introduce never-before-seen members of the Reagan family when the show returns in 2026. Bridget Moynahan already appeared as Erin Reagan-Boyle in the series premiere, and Marisa Ramirez has reprised her role as Det. Maria Baez in several episodes of Season 1 so far. But brand new faces are going to join the fold next year. Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg) officially decided to stay in Boston in the midseason finale on December 19. Committing to the Boston Police Department meant giving up his NYPD badge. The episode also featured the first update on Danny’s oldest son,...

Marina Zenovich’s “I’m Chevy Chase, and You’re Not” is not your average celebrity documentary. From the film’s outset, it is clear that the 82-year-old comedian had zero editorial control over the project.

A minute into the CNN doc, Zenovich can be heard off camera saying to Chase, “I’m just trying to figure you out.”

His response: “No shit. It’s not going to be easy for you.”

“Why is it not going to be easy?” Zenovich asks.

“You’re not bright enough,” Chase deadpans. “How’s that?” Then the comedian grins.

Zenovich says that while she was...

Billie Lourd will never stop missing mom Carrie Fisher, but she’s smiling through the pain as she experiences the kind of family joy that the late Star Wars icon helped create. In an Instagram post on Saturday, December 27, Billie marked another anniversary of Fisher’s death and shared how her dad, Bryan Lourd, and kids, Kingston, 5, and Jackson, 3, exemplify that joy. “It has been nine years since my mom died,” she wrote. “My daughter woke up earlier than usual this morning, so we went outside together, and she knowingly laid her little head on my chest. She looked up at me with her big, soulful eyes and said, ‘I love you,...

If you've finished watching all six episodes of HBO Max's "Heated Rivalry," you're probably asking yourself one thing: What the heck do I do now?

For the past six weeks, our Fridays have basically revolved around the gay hockey romance, and if you've spent even a small amount of time on social media, you know the Canadian drama still has its viewers in an absolute chokehold.

While we begin the agonizing wait for Season 2 to premiere, let's take a look back at the moments that had us gasping, rewinding and posting online for weeks — from Shane (Hudson Williams) and Ilya's...

Chase Stokes is stoked that Outer Banks is ending with its fifth season, but not because of any dissatisfaction with the work on the Netflix drama. In a new interview, Stokes explained to People why he and his costars are “thankful for the run” of Outer Banks but “ready for it to be done.” He said, “We want the story to end on the right note, versus [turning] four seasons into season nine and we’re going after aliens or something. We want to cut the cord before we lose the plot.” Courtesy of Netflix Stokes, who plays John B. Routledge on the Outer Banks, is even more grateful that the...

Stephen Colbert recently confessed that he’d love to switch bodies with President Donald Trump — and the reason is very practical. On December 12, the Late Show host, 61, was featured in Slate‘s Political Gabfest for its 20th anniversary show in New York City. Co-host John Dickerson asked Colbert at one point. “If you could slip into the body of a person for 24 hours, who would it be?” “I mean, it’s such a predictable answer for me,” the late-night host replied. “But I would slip inside the skin of our president, and I would resign.” Colbert explained, “No scandal, no confession, no Sturm und Drang. Just go, ‘It’s been great.

Three masters of the comedy domain reunited on Christmas Eve: Seinfeld co-creator and star Jerry Seinfeld, star Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and co-creator Larry David. Seinfeld posted photos of the joyful get-together on Instagram on Saturday. “The creatures were stirring…” he wrote in the caption in a nod to the poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” Fans raved about the Seinfeld mini-reunion in the comments. “Somehow comforted by this picture,” one Instagram user wrote. “My favorite people I’ve never met in person,” another commented. A third user wrote, “Three of the people whose humor has made life more bearable.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jerry Seinfeld (@jerryseinfeld...

"The Big Bang Theory" concluded its 12-season run with several of its central characters settled into marriages and family life, while Raj (Kunal Nayyar) remained single when the series came to an end.

In an interview for the oral history book "The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series" by Jessica Radloff, Nayyar explained that Raj needed more time to grow as a person before settling down.

"I thought it was very astute that the one person who wanted love so badly realizes maybe he needs to love himself first," he said. "It doesn't have to come through someone else,...

Since "WandaVision" premiered in 2021, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has peppered Disney+ with no less than 18 different superhero shows that range from one-off specials and short miniseries to ambitious, multi-season projects. Some of them have transformed the entire franchise, while others went away with a whimper — and with several more Disney+ Marvel TV shows in the pipeline, they're certainly not about to go anywhere.

Marvel Studios' ambitious streaming release schedule can be hard to keep up with, so it's quite possible that even the most dedicated MCU fan has missed a show or three over time. But since there's always more Marvel on the way,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Copenhagen Test.] As technology advances, the same tools designed to connect and protect us are increasingly repurposed to watch, manipulate, and exploit us, often without our knowledge until it is too late. Such is the fate of intelligence analyst Alexander Hale (Simu Liu) in Peacock‘s eight-episode thriller The Copenhagen Test, who discovers that his own brain has been hacked by hostile forces that can now see and hear everything he does. Written and created by Thomas Brandon and executive produced by James Wan, The Copenhagen Test is a tangled web of secrets, shifting loyalties, and moral ambiguity. As Alexander and the secret government agency that employs him, the Orphanage,...

Bill Maher recently revealed his top pick for the 2029 Presidential Election. During an interview with The Free Press published on YouTube on December 22, the Real Time With Bill Maher host, 69, discussed who he thinks would be best-suited for the job. “Everybody goes to their furthest side of the pendulum, you know?” Maher said of the extreme divide between Democrats and Republicans. “The liberals come in, and the whole thing is way too p***y-fied. And then you go right, too macho, and, ‘Let’s blow up boats. Let’s arrest people at Home Depot,’ and all this macho bulls***.” He added, “And the average person, I think, is just saying,...

Jake Tapper has one Christmas wish: that people “stop being awful.” In an X post on Saturday, the CNN anchor reacted to a video of people shouting the R-word outside the home of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. “Everyone really needs to take a breath and stop being awful, stop rewarding awfulness, and stop promoting awfulness with your algorithms,” Tapper wrote. “Happy & fulfilled & confident people don’t spend time doing any of this.” Trolls have harangued Walz and his family with the R-word ever since President Donald Trump did so in a rambling Truth Social screed a month ago. In that post, Trump claimed that “refugees from Somalia are taking over...

Noah Wyle was the longest-serving cast member on "ER," appearing in 254 of the show's 331 episodes. But after 11 seasons, the actor chose to step away from the NBC medical drama as a series regular — a decision driven by family priorities and a desire to pursue new creative challenges.

"I've just got other stuff going in my life right now," Wyle told E! News in 2004, explaining his decision to step away from his role as Dr. John Carter. "I've got a son, I've got family and friends that said goodbye to me 12 years ago and are wondering when I'm coming back, and...

It’s been seven years since Hayley Erbert was part of the Dancing With the Stars troupe. Although her husband, Derek Hough, is a judge on the show, she hasn’t been professionally dancing on DWTS since Season 27. But would she be down to return in the future? “I’ll always have so much love for the DWTS family, and this past season was amazing to watch,” Erbert, who recently partnered with Wellness Pet Company to launch the Wellness Supper Club, told TV Insider. “Right now, my focus is on our growing family, but if the timing and the circumstances ever felt right in the future, I would absolutely be...

Brigitte Bardot, the iconic French actress, is dead at 91. On Sunday, Dec. 28, a statement from Bardot’s animal rights foundation announced her death. “The Brigitte Bardot Foundation pays tribute to the memory of an exceptional woman who gave everything and gave up everything for a world more respectful of animals,” the statement, initially shared with the news agency, Agence France-Presse, read, per NPR. “Her legacy lives on through the actions and struggles the Foundation continues with the same passion and the same fidelity to her ideals.” Details about the time and place of her death were not revealed, nor was Bardot’s official cause of death. In the late ’50s and ’60s,...

Most people cut pieces of tape to put on wrapping paper for Christmas. The Young and the Restless actress Courtney Hope, as the unsinkable Sally Spectra, cut open a vein or two this holiday season. On Christmas Eve, Hope played Sally as a bit nervous being around Billy’s (Jason Thompson) family — his kids, Johnny (Paxton Mishkind) and Katie (Sienna Mercuri), understandably so. His ex-wife, Victoria (Amelia Heinle) was there, too. Hope’s subtle body language communicated that Sally wanted to fit in with Billy’s family. Even holiday episodes on soaps have some angst. Alone with Vicki, Sally confided in Billy’s ex that his hurt and anger for Victor (Eric Braeden) ran deep.

If there was ever a channel or platform to steer the course of prestige television in the era's nascent period, it's HBO. The premium cable channel had been producing original programming for years, but in the '90s, its shows saw a significant jump in quality. Whether it was trend-setting sitcoms or searingly intimate crime dramas, the channel became the place for must-watch television. With its premium cable distinction, which also allowed for greater creative freedom, the channel has taken full advantage of that freedom across its diverse original series lineup.

Decades later, HBO is still a leading name in superbly crafted television,...

It started with a begrudging babysitter dynamic and Farrah Fawcett hairspray and ended with an emotional promise to die together. We’re talking, of course, about the beloved — and entirely unexpected — bond between Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) and Steve (Joe Keery).

The pair find themselves put to the test in Stranger Things’ fifth and final season, when Dustin, who is grieving the death of Eddie (Joseph Quinn), lashes out at his best friend. “That relationship is an interesting one,” Keery shares. “A lot of the fuel for my character, I think, is my worry for him and how that might come off.”

A physical fight breaks out between the two in “Shock Jock,...

Stranger Things 5 already made Will Byers a hero in Episode 4, and now the beloved series has revealed just how powerful he is when he finally accepts his true self.

In Episode 7, Will (Noah Schnapp) realizes that the only way to free his mind from Vecna’s grip is to face his deepest secrets. One, in particular, has haunted him until Vecna shows him a devastating future that could await if he’s not honest about who he really is.

Initially confiding in his mother, Joyce (Winona Ryder), Will decides everyone needs to know at the same time. As he wrings his hands in despair, his friends and family assemble in a circle,...

Mad Max lives. In Stranger Things 5’s seventh episode, the Hawkins teen, played by Sadie Sink, escapes Camazotz and wakes up in her hospital bed face-to-face with Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), who has been by her side for almost two years.

“When a scene is so beautifully written and a moment is as touching as that is, it makes my job easier to connect with Max,” Sink . “And when Caleb is giving such an incredible performance as well, I just felt very lucky to be in that room.”

The emotional impact was felt by everyone on set. Once director Shawn Levy called action, the “energy switched” for McLaughlin as he looked into Sink’s eyes.

In Season 5 of Netflix's "Stranger Things," Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) resembles a tree riddled with holes — a stark contrast from his original fleshy appearance.

In an interview with People, Barrie Gower, the head of the "Stranger Things" makeup effects department, explained that this new version of the monster was primarily created with CGI, as opposed to the more practical-based creature we saw in Season 4.

"[Vecna] evolved to the point where his body was just made up of these mutated vines and things, rather than being 100% human form," said Gower. "He wanted the ability to be able to see through his body as well,...

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers from Season 5, Volume 2 of “Stranger Things, now streaming on Netflix.

Jamie Campbell Bower is used to playing the big bad — whether his name is Vecna, One or Henry. But in Volume 2 of “Stranger Things,” he takes the character a step further into possibly his creepiest yet, a cult-leader-like performance as Mr. WhatsIt.

“Jim Jones was an early reference for me,” Bower says, citing the leader of the cult the Peoples Temple, who in November 1978 led more than 900 of his followers to commit mass suicide in Jonestown, Guyana. “He was on the mood board, even...

In 2023, Jodi Hildebrandt was arrested alongside popular YouTuber Ruby Franke in Utah. The case garnered national attention due to Franke’s popularity on social media, where she gave fans an insight into her life with husband Kevin Franke and their six kids. Things on Franke’s 8 Passengers YouTube channel took a turn when she struck up a friendship with Hildebrandt, a Utah-based counselor who founded a program called ConneXions. Viewers began noticing troubling behavior in Franke’s videos and started expressing concern over her strict parenting styles. Everything came to a head when one of Franke’s sons, who was 12 years old at the time, escaped from Hildebrandt’ house and received help from a neighbor,...

In the early 2000s, Josh Schwartz's "The O.C." was the Og guilty pleasure show. It was basically a soap  but a heightened and well-written one, set in California's Newport Beach, where rich people were the average citizen. 

The series aired on Fox for four seasons, starting in 2003. In 2007, after 92 episodes (including a fourth and final shortened season that consisted of 16 episodes instead of the regular 24-25), Fox cancelled the series due to a steady downward trend in ratings.

In addition, a key narrative change in Season 4 served as a harbinger for the show's eventual end.

As the highest honor a television series can receive, the Emmys bestow both prestige and visibility on winning shows. Even if you've never watched them, you can probably name some of the biggest winners. "Game of Thrones" picked up an impressive 59 statues, "The West Wing" received 26 awards, and "The Sopranos" racked up 21. It's unlikely we'll forget about these TV powerhouses anytime soon.

But awards wins don't guarantee popularity or longevity. Indeed, some Emmy-winning shows haven't stood the test of time, for various reasons. Maybe it was because they got outshone in their own genre by another more popular series, maybe...

It took some time for Eddie Murphy to forgive David Spade for his infamous “Saturday Night Live” dig.

During a recent episode of his “Fly on the Wall” podcast, Spade said it took him “25 years” to win back fellow “SNL” alum Murphy after taking a shot at his film “Vampire in Brooklyn” during a “Weekend Update” segment.

“It was weird going from being a super fan to having him hate me overnight, and to try to win him back for the last 25 years,” Spade said.

“We had some bumps in the road along the way, early on,” he added. “I was on ‘Weekend Update,...

[Warning: The following post contains Major spoilers for The Copenhagen Test, Season 1] The Copenhagen Test Season 1 is a twisty, turn-filled spy thriller that keeps audiences guessing at every step. A fictionalized sci-fi espionage drama, the series blends near-future technology with deep-state intrigue to create a heart-pounding series exclusive to Peacock. Starring Simu Liu as Andrew Hale, a former sniper turned intelligence analyst working for a covert government agency known as the Orphanage, Peacock’s series unfolds as a high-stakes puzzle where loyalty is fluid, motives are murky, and no one is ever quite who they seem. Written and created by Thomas Brandon and executive produced by James Wan, the final installment of the eight-episode series left audiences with a cliffhanger,...

At the end of Stranger Things 5 Volume 2, your favorite nerds clear a small but important hurdle in their last stand against Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower): They make it through the heavily guarded Mac-z gate with the whole party intact.

But that victory is short-lived as Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) feels uneasy about the sacrifice her sister, Kali (Linnea Berthelsen), has asked her to make.

“At the end of [Episode 7], there’s a sense of dread or uncertainty that pervades,” series co-creator Ross Duffer says. “There’s a look and a moment between [Eleven] and Kali where it seems as though Eleven has agreed to Kali’s plan to stay in the Upside Down when it explodes.

Health issues are spelling disappointment for Tori Spelling and her fans. The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum had to cancel an upcoming Las Vegas appearance due to an undisclosed illness. Spelling and former 90210 costar Brian Austin Green (pictured together above and in the spinoff BH90210 below) were scheduled to host a party called ’90s After Dark at the Voltaire nightclub at The Venetian in Las Vegas this Sunday, December 28. But in an Instagram post on Friday, December 26, the actor explained that she wouldn’t be able to make it. “This hurts to share, but I need to be honest with you. I’m sick and have to postpone our After Dark event...

More than a decade before Oona Chaplin could be seen menacing Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) in "Avatar: Fire and Ash," she faced off against Benedict Cumberbatch on BBC's "Sherlock." In the Season 2 premiere, "A Scandal in Belgravia," Chaplin plays a schoolteacher with whom Dr. John Watson (Martin Freeman) has a brief relationship.

The episode marks the only appearance of Chaplin's "Sherlock" character, Jeanette, and her interactions with the titular detective showcase his anti-social tendencies. At a 221B Baker Street Christmas party, Sherlock calls Jeanette "Sarah," mistaking her for one of Watson's previous girlfriends. When Watson apologizes on Sherlock's behalf,...

Nobody Wants This fans have already been treated to one Succession crossover, in the form of Arian Moayed playing Dr. Andy to Justine Lupe‘s Morgan. But since Morgan and her psychotherapist-turned-fiancé didn’t work out — and the Netflix rom-com series has already been renewed for Season 3 — which Succession actor would fit in with the cast next? Just hours before Nobody Wants This’ renewal announcement, TV Insider asked Lupe this very question. “I mean, I feel a little bit democratic saying this,” she began, “but I also do feel like I’d be so happy to have any of them. It’s a murderer’s row of just incredible actors on that show,...

In the final episode of Volume 2, released on Christmas Day, Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) realizes he needs to talk to his friends about something. They’re, together, fighting Vecna, the malign force that wants to destroy the entire world, but that has been bedeviling Will in particular since the show’s first episode.
