Expect shocking surprises in the upcoming fifth season of Discovery Channel’s Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch. The season five trailer teases the Ollingers might be on to their biggest discovery to date. Fans won’t know for sure until the new season debuts on Wednesday, June 18, 2025 at 10pm ET/PT.
“As father and son duo Duane and Chad Ollinger and their team continue the quest for missing gold along the remote 160-acre Blind Frog Ranch in Utah’s Uinta Basin, their efforts lead to significant new finds. An underwater tunnel with remnants of ancient Aztec artifacts, Aztec stone markers dotting the landscape, a mysterious chiseled tablet buried deep inside a cave, and evidence of an archaic armory puts them hot on the trail to the long-lost fortune,” reads Discovery Channel’s synopsis. “Yet as they inch closer to the treasure, a deadly radioactive discovery, volatile elements, mysterious trespassers, and secret government operations threaten to halt everything.”
Season five’s first episode will find Chad diving “deep into an underground passage, discovering artifacts and a potential way through to the keyhole chamber. Meanwhile, geologist Eric Drummond returns from Ohio with intel on how to drill around the meteorite on the ranch. But a midnight intruder on the property digs up an even bigger mystery, putting the team on high alert and impeding their efforts.”

Ryan Reynolds (Welcome to Wrexham) narrates and Green Day provides the theme song for National Geographic’s nature series Underdogs, which just debuted an official trailer. The series celebrates overlooked and underappreciated wild creatures and will premiere on National Geographic on June 15, 2025 at 9pm ET/PT.
“Getting to work with National Geographic on Underdogs was a dream come true—mostly because I can finally watch a project of ours with my children. Technically, they saw Deadpool & Wolverine but I don’t think they absorbed much while covering their eyes and ears and screaming for two hours,” said Ryan Reynolds. “We’re so proud to elevate the unsung heroes of the natural world to the top of the entertainment food chain and can’t wait for everyone to see.”
Reynolds serves as an executive producer along with Mark Linfield, Vanessa Berlowitz, Dan Rees, George Dewey, Ashley Fox, Patrick Gooing, Bengt Anderson, and Tracy Rudolph Jackson. Underdogs is produced by Wildstar, a Fremantle company, in partnership with Maximum Effort for National Geographic.
“For 137 years, National Geographic has been bringing you breathtaking wildlife footage of iconic animals—penguins, elephants, whales, and more. As if those windbags need any more free PR. Hold on to your binoculars, folks, as Nat Geo gets up close and personal with the outcasts of the animal kingdom in Underdogs, narrated by Ryan Reynolds. From their hidden talents to their unconventional hygiene choices to their unsavory courtship rituals, Underdogs celebrates the unique behaviors of the animals who don’t usually get to be the stars of the show,” reads National Geographic’s synopsis.
The description continues: “Each episode of the five-part series showcases a different aspect of these underdogs’ bizarre mating strategies, surprising superpowers, deception, dubious parenting skills and gross-out behaviors. Underdogs features a range of never-before-filmed scenes, including the first time a film crew has ever entered a special cave in New Zealand – a huge cavern that glows brighter than a bachelor pad under a black light thanks to the glowing butts of millions of mucus-coated grubs. All over the world, overlooked superstars like this are out there 24/7, giving it maximum effort and keeping the natural world in working order for all those showboating polar bears, sharks, and gorillas.”
Underdogs Episode Guide:
“Superzeroes” Premieres June 15 at 9/8c on National Geographic
Ryan Reynolds assembles a team of “Superzeroes,” apparently pathetic animals with unexpectedly awesome superpowers. Forget about the cheetah’s speed, the eagle’s eyesight, or the elephant’s brute strength, and say hello to the invisible glass frog, the indestructible honey badger and the pistol shrimp who can fire bubbles that are as hot as the surface of the sun.
“Terrible Parents” premieres June 15 at 9:54/8:54c on National Geographic
Ryan Reynolds reveals some highly questionable parenting strategies from the animal kingdom’s worst parents, the underdogs. From a goose who lays their eggs on the top of a cliff to a koala that feeds its baby poop, it’s uncertain if they are bad parents or just misunderstood. But no matter how bad you think you may be at parenting, you can’t be as bad as these guys.
“Sexy Beasts” Premieres June 22 at 9/8c on National Geographic
Forget the birds and the bees, Ryan reveals the steps to finding “the one,” underdog-style. From the “first attraction” in giant-nosed proboscis monkeys to the importance of wingmen in turkey courtship to foreplay in flying foxes, these guys have rewritten the rule book on messy and complicated relationships.
“The Unusual Suspects” premieres June 22 at 9:53/8:53c on National Geographic
Ryan Reynolds puts the spotlight on the underdogs who get ahead by sneaky tactics. From the master-of-disguise frogfish to a butt-biting jackal and a multi-headed caterpillar playing the decoy, these are the masters of deception and deceit. And bringing all these hustlers together is the greatest con artist of them all—a cunning macaque who feeds on the spoils from unsuspecting tourists.
“Total Grossout” Premieres June 29 at 9/8c on National Geographic
Ryan gives his unique take on the animals who use gross-out tactics to achieve their goals, from defending their home to finding a mate and winning at the game of life. His cast includes manatees that use flatulence to control their buoyancy and cave-dwelling fungus gnats that create beautiful, illuminated fly traps from the mucus lit by their bioluminescent butts.
Apple TV+’s critically acclaimed sci-fi comedy/thriller Murderbot continues with episode four, “Escape Velocity Protocol,” streaming on May 30, 2025. New episodes of season one, which currently sits at 97% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, debut on Fridays.

Skarsgård also executive produces along with series creators Chris and Paul Weitz.
Escape Velocity Protocol Plot: Murderbot struggles for its life, its newfound freedom, and its sanity as it faces an enemy beyond even its formidable powers. Mensah debates whether to go back for Murderbot or leave It behind.

Murderbot Season 1 Description:
Based on Martha Wells’ bestselling Hugo and Nebula Award-winning book series, Murderbot is a sci-fi comedic thriller about a self-hacking security construct who is horrified by human emotion yet drawn to its vulnerable clients. Murderbot (Skarsgård) must hide its free will and complete a dangerous assignment when all it really wants is to be left alone to watch futuristic soap operas and figure out its place in the universe.

HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series has found its three leads. The network announced that Dominic McLaughlin will play Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton has been cast as Hermione Granger, and Alastair Stout is Ron Weasley. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint catapulted onto the scene starring as the main characters in the film adaptations of J.K. Rowling’s bestselling books.
The newcomers join previously announced cast members Emmy winner and Oscar nominee John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Emmy nominee Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, Oscar and Emmy nominee Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, and Emmy nominee Nick Frost as Hagrid. Luke Thallon and Paul Whitehouse will appear in recurring roles as Quirinus Quirrell and Argus Filch, respectively.
“After an extraordinary search led by casting directors Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockmann, we are delighted to announce we have found our Harry, Hermione, and Ron,” stated showrunner and executive producer Francesca Gardiner and director and executive producer Mark Mylod. “The talent of these three unique actors is wonderful to behold, and we cannot wait for the world to witness their magic together onscreen. We would like to thank all the tens of thousands of children who auditioned. It’s been a real pleasure to discover the plethora of young talent out there.”
Gardiner adapted J.K. Rowling’s books, and Rowling is on board as an executive producer. Additional executive producers include Neil Blair, Ruth Kenley-Letts, and David Heyman.
“The series will be a faithful adaptation of the beloved Harry Potter book series by author and executive producer J.K. Rowling. The series will feature a new cast to lead a new generation of fandom, full of the fantastic detail and much-loved characters Harry Potter fans have loved for over twenty-five years,” reads HBO’s synopsis. “Each season will bring Harry Potter and these incredible adventures to new audiences around the world, while the original, classic, and cherished films will remain at the core of the franchise and available to watch globally.”
The final season of Squid Game, season three of Ginny & Georgia, and FUBAR season two are set to premiere on Netflix in June 2025. The streamer’s June lineup also includes the debut of the documentary Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy and The Waterfront series starring Holt McCallany, Maria Bello, Melissa Benoist, and Jake Weary.
Among the films leaving are GoodFellas, Magic Mike XXL, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Trap, American Sniper, and The Dark Knight trilogy. Bee Movie, The Blues Brothers, The Equalizer, The Legend of Zorro, and Us are also vanishing from Netflix’s lineup in June.

Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks star as siblings with a complicated relationship in Prime Video’s The Better Sister. Based on Alafair Burke’s bestselling novel, the limited series will release all eight episodes on May 29, 2025.
“Chloe, a high-profile media executive, lives a picturesque life with her handsome lawyer husband Adam and teenage son Ethan by her side while her estranged sister Nicky struggles to make ends meet and stay clean,” reads Prime Video’s synopsis. “When Adam is brutally murdered, the prime suspect sends shockwaves through the family, reuniting the two sisters as they try to untangle a complicated family history to discover the truth behind his death.”

Kim Dickens plays Detective Nancy Guidry, Maxwell Acee Donovan is Ethan Macintosh, Bobby Naderi is Detective Matt Bowen, Gabriel Sloyer is Jake Rodriguez, Gloria Reuben plays Michelle Sander, Matthew Modine is Bill Braddock, and Lorraine Toussaint stars as Catherine Lancaster.
Olivia Milch and Regina Corrado are the co-showrunners and executive produce along with Biel and Banks. “The second we read it, we felt like, ‘Well, we’ve got to do this.’ It really grips you in that way,” explained Milch during a panel at the Deadline Studio at Prime Experience. “I think both Regina and I are so drawn to stories about family, about sisterhood, and this idea of what does it mean to have different experiences of your parents? How does that determine who you are in the rest of your life?”
Craig Gillespie, Marty Adelstein, Becky Clements, Alissa Bachner, Kerry Orent, Annie Marter, and Michelle Purple also serve as executive producers. The limited series is directed by Gillespie, Leslie Hope, Azazel Jacobs, Dawn Wilkinson, and Stephanie Laing.

As the mystery of this phenomenon fuels unrest, Officer and single mother Dana Cypress is thrust into the center of an unusual murder investigation—one where the murder victim is alive,” reads Syfy’s synopsis. “And now, it is up to Dana to unravel the truth amidst a town gripped by fear and confusion, where everyone, living or revived, is a suspect.”

In 2011, adventurer Josh Gates shot footage inside the Titan submersible for his Expedition Unknown series. Gates ultimately opted not to finish production on the planned episode after a “disturbing” interview with OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush and what’s described as a “problematic test dive.” Discovery Channel’s Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster reveals Gates’ footage, which has never been released, along with interviews with technicians and other who worked on Titan’s test dive.
The above clip shows three minutes of footage around the time of a loud bang. That bang is now believed to have been the implosion of the Titan submersible. The two-hour special will air on May 28, 2025 at 9pm ET/PT on Discovery.
“Implosion: The Titanic Implosion Disaster explores the factors leading up to that fateful day, from the founding of the OceanGate company by CEO Stockton Rush to the start of construction of the Titan – a first-of-its-kind carbon fiber submersible designed to take tourists down to the Titanic for a trip of a lifetime,” reads Discovery Channel’s synopsis. “The special provides a detailed account of the final mission, culminating in the tragic implosion, and igniting conversations about the necessary parameters of deep-sea exploration and safety protocol in the aftermath.”

The Titan sub disaster special features video from inside the submersible along with unprecedented access to the United States Coast Guard’s Marine Board of Investigation.
“The Titan story captivated the world’s attention from the moment the vessel lost contact with the surface,” stated Howard Lee, Chief Creative Officer of US Networks and President of Discovery Networks. “In this special, we will probe into the fascination with exploration, the risks that we are willing to take, and the ultimate price one can pay when pushing the limits of technology. It is a compelling journey into the haunting reality of this tragedy.”
