[Editor’s note: The following review contains spoilers for “Daredevil: Born Again” through Season 1, Episode 4.]

Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) have always had a lot in common, including a shared belief their beloved city needs to be cleaned up. In “Daredevil: Born Again” Episode 4, written by David Feige & Jesse Wigutow and directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff, Matt faces the limits of his above board legal work when he infers that he’s up against police officers — some of the most dangerous individuals he’ll ever encounter, all protected and propped up by the system he has no choice but to trust.

Matt doesn’t believe for a second that Hector (Kamar de los Reyes) was executed by Punisher Aka Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal), and moves right to the obvious answer: it was the cops, because Hector got in their way, and his freedom was both an inconvenience and an insult.

As much as Fisk was and...

Berlin ER is four episodes into the season on Apple TV+. Ahead of the premiere of episode five on the streaming platform, Cbr can unveil an exclusive sneak peek clip.

The episode, called "Side-effects," is set to premiere on Wednesday, March 19, 2025. In the episode, per the official logline, "Ben’s addiction becomes even more dangerous, whilst at the same time Zanna faces serious consequences of a decision; Emina’s family life comes crashing into Krank." The sneak peek clip, which sees Dr. Parker preparing for what seems to be a very complicated surgery, can be viewed below.

Berlin ER, also known as Krank Berlin, is a German series that's co-created by former emergency room physician turned screenwriter Samuel Jefferson alongside Viktor Jakovleski. The show stars Haley Louise Jones and Slavko Popadić (Crooks) in the lead roles, with other cast members including Şafak Şengül (Rabiye Kurnaz vs. George W. Bush), Aram Tafreshian...

There may be trouble in "Paradise," but that's just how we like it. The hit Hulu series (created by "This Is Us" showrunner Dan Fogelman) landed on the streamer in 2025 to positive reviews and much buzz, quickly making a case for itself as one of James Marsden's best TV shows ever. The "X-Men" alum plays slain U.S. President Cal Bradford, whose sudden death sends Secret Service agent Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown) on a winding mystery through a post-apocalyptic America.

Along the way, Xavier comes across hidden clues, government secrets, and deep state conspiracies, all hallmarks of a story rooted in a subgenre that is perhaps the guiltiest of pleasures -- the speculative political thriller. Stories under this umbrella can just as easily be titillating, smartly written, and dramatically engrossing as they are oblivious, self-important, and totally ridiculous. Sometimes, a story can be all these things at once,...

Deadline has finalized the first batch of shows that will participate in Contenders Television, its annual two-day panel showcase that kicks off the TV awards season. It is set to take place April 5-6 at the DGA Theater in Los Angeles.

The drama series race will get a massive overhaul this year as Slow Horses is the only 2024 nominee eligible to return. But lots of past nominees are back in the game — Severance, The White Lotus, The Last of Us, Andor, and Squid Game are all predicted to make the lineup once again. But which, if any, new show will join them? There's Paradise, which has been a hit for Hulu. There's The Pitt, which as been a hit for Max.

For fans of sci-fi series filled with political intrigue, complex characters, and mind-bending twists, Counterpart is a hidden gem. The 2017 Starz series masterfully combines espionage with a parallel universe twist, driven by sharp writing from Emmy-winner Justin Marks (better known for his work on Shōgun) and a talented writing team. With outstanding performances from a stacked cast, Counterpart shares a similar intensity and mystery with popular shows like Paradise,Severance, and The Americans. The series delves into the concept of two parallel Earths resulting from a Cold War experiment gone awry. The two worlds, Alpha and Prime, were initially identical, each containing a "counterpart" of every individual. However, over time, small but impactful changes in Prime lead to growing rifts between the worlds.

It's been a strong year for Hulu, between their continued success with shows like "Only Murders in the Building" and "The Bear," as well as new hits like "Shōgun" and "Paradise." However, one original Hulu series that may have flown under the radar of most viewers is "Tell Me Lies," a drama series that premiered back in 2022 and returned for its second season in 2024. It might be the perfect new series to binge-watch if you can't find a movie to watch on Hulu right now, but its 18 episodes might be not enough for fans.

"Tell Me Lies" stars Grace Van Patten and Jackson White as two college students who fall in and out of love over the span of eight years. Based on a 2018 novel by Carola Lovering, the series has been lauded by critics for its performances, nuanced portrayal of toxic relationships, and its modern take on romantic drama.

It's safe to say that, throughout Hulu's new original series "Paradise", a lot of stuff happens in the show's first season, which spans eight episodes and imagines a world where a private community lives in a Colorado bunker after an apocalyptic event. We spend the majority of our time with Brown's Secret Service agent Xavier Collins, who discovers that his boss, President Cal Bradford (James Marsden), has been murdered in the very first episode ... but Samantha Redmond, a woman who goes by the name "Sinatra" and runs the bunker largely because she's the richest person who lives there, is also a very important character.

Sinatra is played by Julianne Nicholson, a Hollywood veteran who's been appearing in projects since she got her start in ABC drama "Nothing Sacred" in a one-episode role in 1997. Since then, Nicholson has appeared in everything from "Ally McBeal" to "Masters of Sex" to...

The following contains heavy spoilers for season 1 of "Paradise."

The thrilling new Hulu series "Paradise" has set the bar as the best new TV show of 2025. The series quickly became appointment television, a perfectly timed show with poignant and sharp commentary on our current political hellhole, but also one with great character drama, and one of the best twists in a TV show in years.

"This is Us" creator Dan Fogelman delivers a compelling story amidst a mystery that evolves into something bigger. The show follows Sterling K. Brown's Xavier Collins, a former Secret Service agent who fails at his job and allows President Cal Bradford (James Marsden) to be murdered. The rest of the season involves Xavier's investigation into who killed the president, while the larger narrative of the show also explores what exactly happened that ended the world. Yes, ended.

The following contains major spoilers from The Pitt Season 1, Episode 11, "5:00 P.M.," now streaming on Max. It also contains discussion of pregnancy loss.

The Pitt Season 1, Episode 11, "5:00 P.M." is the episode that pivots the Max medical drama toward its final story arcs. Two major characters are given their exit stories, and reference is repeatedly made to there only being one hour until this ER shift ends. Which, if audiences check the episode count for this show, is not technically true -- but these changes create space for the writers to focus as they open up one of the most common medical show plots.

"5:00 P.M." uses Dr. Frank Langdon's departure as a common thread to create scuttlebutt and increase stakes.

Netflix continues to dominate the streaming world, with several of its shows ranking at the top of the latest Nielsen streaming charts for the week of February 10 to February 16. Leading the pack is Sweet Magnolias, which secured the No. 1 spot by pulling in an impressive 1.2 billion minutes of viewing time.

Right behind Sweet Magnolias is Cobra Kai, which also gathered nearly 1.2 billion minutes as fans tuned in for the final episodes. Another popular Netflix reality show, Love Is Blind, also crossed the 1 billion minutes mark, proving that viewers remain invested in its dramatic love stories.

Meanwhile, The Night Agent wasn’t far behind, with 952 million minutes watched. The action-packed thriller has consistently performed well since its release.

Interestingly, Bluey, the beloved children’s show, was the only non-Netflix title to break into the Top 5, showing its lasting appeal to families.

Hulu jumpstarted its Emmys campaign for the limited series Good American Family on Thursday — rolling out the red carpet for a special premiere at the Directors Guild of America Theater Complex in Los Angeles. The ripped-from-the-headlines drama tells the story of Natalia Grace, a Ukrainian-born orphan with a rare form of dwarfism who is adopted by a Midwestern family — only to be abandoned a year later when they start to suspect she may not be who she says she is. The eight-episode series debuts March 19 on Hulu.

Following a screening of the first episode, "Almost Like a Prayer," star and executive producer Ellen Pompeo (Kristine Barnett), joined Mark Duplass (Michael Barnett), Imogen Faith Reid (Natalia Grace), Christina Hendricks (Cynthia Mans), Sarayu Blue (Valika), Dulé Hill (Det. Brandon Drysdale), Katie Robbins, Sarah Sutherland (showrunner and executive producer), and Liz Garbus (director) for a Q&a moderated by Emily Longeretta (Variety). (Watch the full panel video below.

Netflix dominated the Nielsen streaming charts from February 10 to February 16 with Sweet Magnolias leading the pack.

Coming in at No. 1 on the overall list, Sweet Magnolias racked up nearly 1.2B minutes viewed in the first full week following the release of Season 4. Cobra Kai came in a close second, also with almost 1.2B minutes viewed on the heels of the final episodes.

Love Is Blind also managed more than 1B minutes viewed, and The Night Agent came in just below that threshold with 952M minutes viewed. Bluey was the only non-Netflix title to crack the Top 5.

Apple TV+ boasted its fifth consecutive week on the streaming originals chart with Severance making it to fifth place, reaching a new weekly high of 681M minutes viewed. Nielsen says 60% of viewing came from the second season, which indicates that, at this point, a large portion of the audience was either rewatching Season 1 or...

Netflix’s Love Is Blind came out of the gate strong with the Valentine’s Day premiere of its eighth season.

The dating show accumulated 1.07 billion viewing minutes in the United States for the week of Feb. 10-16, according to Nielsen. That’s better than the premiere week totals for the past two cycles: Season six had 907 million minutes in the same week a year ago, and season seven opened to 1.05 billion minutes in early October.

Nielsen counts viewing of all episodes toward a show’s weekly tally, but the ratings service notes that 95 percent — our about 1.02 billion minutes — of Love Is Blind’s total was for the new batch of episodes that premiered Feb. 14.

Sweet Magnolias (1.16 billion minutes), which finished second overall a week earlier, moved into the top spot for Feb. 10-16 with a nine percent increase in viewing week to week. The final episodes of Cobra Kai...

“Severance” is an official television hit. Since the series premiered Season 2 on Jan. 17, the Apple TV+ drama has accumulated at least 3.055 billion streaming minutes, according to Nielsen.

This number was calculated by adding together the weekly viewership for the drama during the five weeks the series aired new episodes of Season 2. Since “Severance” only started to appear on Nielsen’s weekly list of the most streamed shows and movies after its return, there is a chance this is an incomplete picture and more people have been watching the show from Dan Erickson and Ben Stiller. But at the moment, the weekly Nielsen numbers are the most accurate figures available.

The most-watched week of “Severance” to date happened from Feb. 10 to 16, which was when Episode 5 premiered. The series secured 681 million streaming minutes during that week. For comparison’s sake, the only other week of “Severance” to clear the 600 million minutes mark...

With its Feb. 14 release to Netflix, Resident Alien made its debut on Nielsen’s overall U.S. streaming ranking (for the week of Feb. 10), landing at No. 10 with 717 million minutes viewed across its 34-episode library.

Resident Alien wrapped Season 3 on April 3, 2024. While it is renewed for Season 4 (jumping from Syfy to USA Network), its episode count and premiere date (still!) remain Tbd.

“The White Lotus” was a surprise hit when it first arrived back in 2021, offering viewers a look at luxury travel while many remained stuck at home deep into the Covid-19 pandemic.

Now well into its third season, “The White Lotus” is a certified hit series, sitting atop the Samba TV Weekly Wrap Report’s streaming chart for the third consecutive week.

The multi-week run at the top of the chart puts “The White Lotus” in the illustrious company of Max’s gigantic IP titles like “House of the Dragon,” “The Penguin,” and “Dune: Prophecy.” Not bad for a show written entirely by just one person, creator Mike White.

The show following “The White Lotus” is another rare thing in TV, as it is both the product of an IP juggernaut and from the mind of a single creator. That show is “1923” on Paramount+. The western series is one of many...

Milla Jovovich recalls how "demoralizing" it was to be a child actor in Hollywood and how this defined her Dazed and Confused role. Jovovich's acting career dates back to the late '80s and early '90s, with roles in projects like Paradise, Married...with Children, Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991), and Chaplin (1992). Released in 1993, Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused features a cast stacked with an impressive array of actors, many of whom would go on to become major stars. Jovovich appears in the film as Michelle Burroughs, who plays a guitar at a fire in one memorable sequence.

During a recent interview with GQ in which she looks back at the most iconic roles from her career, Jovovich reveals that her role as Michelle in Dazed and Confused was informed by her "soul-sucking" experience as a child actor. She doesn't get into any specifics in terms of what projects...

The first season of the hit Hulu show Paradise has wrapped up and got us thinking about several movies that share some elements and plot devices that made the show so popular. One of the things that make Paradise so enjoyable is its unique concept carried out by an ensemble of talented performers like Sterling K. Brown, Julianne Nicholson, and James Marsden. The combination of an extinction-level event with a seemingly utopian underground city turned on its head by a series of murders and a coup d'état really worked nicely and set up a terrific segue into Season 2.

TVLine presents a chronological list of new TV shows — all English-language, scripted series — confirmed to premiere across broadcast, cable and streaming in the U.S. in the year 2025.

Hulu’s mystery-laden political thriller, Paradise, has been the show on many lips this past month. The series continues to hook in even more audiences, as evidenced by the viewership figures for the series finale, which ranks as the highest for the entire Season 1. The show masterfully balances resolving one mystery while setting up an even more intriguing one, a recipe that has successfully kept viewers captivated from episode to episode. With the Season 1 finale airing a week ago, the latest viewership figures confirm it as the show’s most-watched episode, indicating a surge in popularity as more people caught up with it.

It’s back! Following the beloved first run of IndieWire’s “Pass the Remote” panel series at the Vidiots Foundation in Los Angeles’s Eagle Rock neighborhood in spring 2024, the series is coming back. “Pass the Remote” launches once again on Tuesday April 1, presented in partnership with Disney.

The first panel will be about the art of casting, and feature casting directors Tiffany Little Canfield, Wendy O’Brien (“Abbott Elementary”), Danielle Aufiero (“Good American Family”), Seth Yanklewitz (“Deli Boys”), Julie Ashton (“Mid-Century Modern”), and Josh Einsohn (“Paradise”) with more to be announced.

The second panel will focus on music composers and take place Tuesday April 15. There’s also a panel discussion about “Abbott Elementary” featuring Quinta Brunson set for Tuesday May 20, with two more panels announcements to come.

“Pass the Remote” will continue through the end of May. IndieWire moderators will interview talent from shows across Disney’s linear and streaming portfolio.

The Hulu drama Paradise, created by Dan Fogelman, wrapped up its first season with a strong 6.3 million views worldwide in just seven days, according to Disney. This number marks the highest audience for the season within that time frame. The show, which has already been greenlit for a second season, is clearly gaining traction on the streaming platform.

The series kicked off with its premiere episode on January 26, pulling in 7 million views in nine days based on early Disney reports. Since then, that number has jumped to 17.6 million global views—a 151% increase. Disney calculates a view by dividing total streaming time by the episode’s runtime.

Every year right about now, the Emmy race starts ramping up, with lots of shows releasing in the spring sweet spot — they’ll be fresh in your minds for Emmys campaigning and inside of the May 31 eligibility cut-off date. Of course we’ll have plenty of big returning awards-centric shows—The Last of Us, Hacks, Poker Face, The Bear, Severance and The White Lotus, to name just a few— but what are the brand new shows we have yet to see?

You’ve likely already been watching Hulu’s twisty new show Paradise, which reunites Sterling K. Brown with This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman, Max’s The Pitt is bringing back the medical drama in a big way, CBS Kathy Bates-starrer Matlock is one to watch that’s already renewed for Season 2, as is Netflix’s smash hit Nobody Wants This… these new shows already made their debut.

Are the outies at the Emmys ready to show Severance some major love after its three-year absence?

Apple TV+'s buzzy sci-fi series currently claims the No. 1 position in Gold Derby's Best Drama Series Emmy odds. Season 2 has been airing since mid-January, with a finale date scheduled for March 21. In 2022, the first season of Severance nabbed 14 total nominations and won two Emmys for main title design and music composition, but it fell short of the top prize. Will it expand the haul this year?

Created by Dan Erickson, Severance follows a group of characters played by Adam Scott, Britt Lower, John Turturro, and Zach Cherry as workers at the sinister Lumon Industries who agree to separate their workplace memories from their external memories. This weekend at the Severance panel at SXSW, director-executive producer Ben Stiller said, "It's been fun to watch how the audiences have gone beyond the concept … and...

Mystery boxes are notoriously hard to pull off. You have to balance the big mystery while introducing new elements and questions at the same time as you provide answers, lest the audience grows bored and stops watching. And yet, you don't want the entire story to be explicitly and singularly about the mysteries, as that makes for a good Wikipedia entry but not necessarily a good narrative. It's the difference between "Lost" continuing to captivate audiences 20 years after its premiere and "Severance" severely slowing down to answer a dumb question no one was asking.

Then we have "Paradise," which is one of the best TV shows of the year and a great example of the mystery box done right. That is because the show treats them not like lore mysteries but narrative mysteries. The one big question this season is who kills President Bradford...

The Season 1 finale of Dan Fogelman’s Hulu drama Paradise attracted 6.3M views globally in seven days, per Disney.

That’s a season-high audience, according to the company, at least in the seven-day viewing window. There’s not any comparable data to determine how much the audience grew over previous episodes. Disney previously reported 7M views in nine days for the first episode.

Speaking of the first episode, it has now amassed 17.6M global views, up 151% from that initial number Disney put out.

While numbers are scarce, it’s clear the series is doing well for Hulu, because it’s already been renewed for a second season.

“Paradise” scored a big ratings win with its Season 1 finale. The Sterling K. Brown-led drama series snagged 6.3 million views worldwide, based internal data accounting for seven days of streaming across Hulu and Disney+ in international markets.

The series premiere of the Dan Fogelman series has also reached 17.6 million global views since its premiere on January 26, a 151% increase from when it first reported viewership. Disney defines a view as total stream time divided by runtime.

The milestone comes on the heels of “Paradise” being renewed for a second season last month. The show has continuously held a top spot on the Hulu Top 15 Today list since its premiere.

Per the logline, Brown stars as Agent Xavier Collins, whose life is turned upside down when President Cal Bradford (James Marsden) is found dead. Of course, the twist is that Collins, Bradford and around 25,000 other people are — so they believe — the only survivors of a global apocalypse,...

The series brings back familiar faces from the earlier Marvel-Netflix “Daredevil” show. Charlie Cox stars as Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer who fights crime at night as Daredevil in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen. Vincent D’Onofrio returns as Wilson Fisk, the feared Kingpin.
