Those hilarious and adorable little yellow minions are back and this time they are taking Hollywood by storm in Illumination Entertainment’s animated film Minions & Monsters.
The 2026 addition to the blockbuster Despicable Me franchise opens on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame as guide Olivia (voiced by Allison Janney) gives a tour of the most influential forces in Hollywood and filmmaking. When she stops at an exhibit showcasing two Minions named James and Henry, the tourists have no clue who they are. So, Olivia begins to tell their story.
Throughout history, the Minions have searched to find an evil master to serve. From a giant cyclops to a mummy and an evil wizard, the Minions just keep failing and moving on. Two Minions, James and Henry, are different from the other Minions because instead of being focused on serving an evil master, they love to make up stories. They’re creative and have active imaginations.
When they and their fellow Minions end up in Hollywood during the 1920s, they accidentally get caught up in a train chase during a film shoot. The director and producers think they are a riot and offer them a contract. James, Henry, and their buddy Ed sign on, but the other Minions move on to find an evil master to serve.
James is desperate to be a director and make his own movie, which he’s come up with himself and titled Minions & Monsters. There’s just one problem … where is he going to find monsters?! Remember, the Minions served an evil wizard. Well, it turns out Ed kept the wizard’s spell book. James and Henry use the book to summon a little green demon named Goomi (voiced by Trey Parker) who tells the ambitious filmmakers he knows the perfect monsters for their film.
Not long after James, Henry, and Ed help Goomi free his giant monster pals from their frozen prison, they realize Goomi has tricked them and intends to destroy the world with the help of his monster friends. So, it’s up to James, Henry, and Ed to find a way to stop Goomi and the monsters … if they can.
Colorful, goofy, and loud, Minions & Monsters is a love letter to Hollywood that gets too convoluted for its own good. It’s a zany adventure with plenty of slapstick and lively chases, but the main and secondary plots might be too difficult for young children to keep up with.
The film is fully stocked with industry jokes, from Citizen Kane and Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times to a homage to the space thriller films of the 1950s. (One of the biggest monsters named “Irene” is a giant orange blob with hundreds of eyes and is a little reminiscent of the 1958 film The Blob.)
Minions & Monsters loses its way with the subplot involving the other Minions trying to serve an inept robot named Dort (voiced by Jesse Eisenberg) who wants to claim Earth as his own. This subplot becomes critical later in the film’s climax but might be too much for young children to follow.
Monsters & Minions looks stunning, with vibrant, beautiful animation, and the voice talents do an excellent job. But, as it should be, the Minions are the ones who really shine, even more than the monsters.
Whether the Minions are accidentally unraveling their mummy master from his bandages, trying to poke Irene’s multiple eyes one at a time, or struggling to stop a train from crashing, it’s the Minions – especially James, Henry, and Ed – who are the lovable and wacky heart of the film.

The much-anticipated S.W.A.T. spinoff, S.W.A.T. Exiles, will air on Starz in the US. The original Sony Pictures Television production ran for eight seasons on CBS. Series star Shemar Moore, who urged the series’ passionate fan base to ask for more, returns to lead the spinoff as Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson.
The 10-episode season will premiere on September 25, 2026.
“S.W.A.T. Exiles is coming in hot! I couldn’t be more excited that STARZ is bringing this next chapter to audiences in the U.S. A huge thank you to Sony Pictures Television for believing in this franchise and continuing to invest in what we’ve built together,” stated Shemar Moore. “What makes this moment even more special is that we’re reaching audiences in all major territories worldwide. Fans everywhere will get to experience this epic new ride together.”
Jay Harrington and Patrick St. Esprit will reprise their roles as Sergeant David “Deacon” Kay and Commander Robert Hicks, with David Lim returning as Victor Tan in the penultimate episode.
The spinoff also stars Lucy Barrett (Deep Water), Adain Bradley (Warfare), Zyra Gorecki (La Brea), Freddy Miyares (When They See Us), and Ronen Rubinstein (9-1-1: Lone Star).
Starz and Sony Pictures Television released this synopsis: “In this new spin-off of the hit series, after a high-profile mission goes sideways, Daniel ‘Hondo’ Harrelson is pulled out of forced retirement to lead a last-chance experimental S.W.A.T. unit made up of untested, unpredictable young recruits. Hondo must bridge a generational divide, navigate clashing personalities, and turn a squad of outsiders into a team capable of protecting the city – and saving the program that made him who he is.”
Jason Ning is the showrunner and executive produces along with Shemar Moore, James Scura, Jon Cowan, and Neal H. Moritz and Pavun Shetty of Original Film.
“The response to S.W.A.T. Exiles has been extraordinary and is a testament to the strength of the franchise, as well as the passion and commitment of Shemar Moore, Jason Ning, and Neal H. Moritz, who have been outstanding partners throughout the process,” said Keith Le Goy, Chairman, Sony Pictures Television. “As we continue to expand the S.W.A.T. universe, this project reflects our broader strategy of making bold investments in premium IP and leveraging our independent studio model to identify opportunities, move quickly, and maximize value around the world. The commitment from STARZ, combined with robust worldwide sales, validates both the franchise’s lasting appeal and the strength of Sony’s global business.”
Robert Eggers’ Werwulf trailer channels the distinct, haunting atmosphere of The Witch and Nosferatu. “Do not dread the darkness. Embrace it,” the trailer warns—a line that perfectly sums up Eggers’ knack for pulling audiences into his bleak cinematic worlds.
Writer/director Eggers reunites with his Nosferatu stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Willem Dafoe, and Lily-Rose Depp for a new take on the classic monster. “[…] The cool thing about going back into the past is that you can kind of hit a reset button,” explained Eggers in an interview with Esquire. “So all the clichés of being bitten by a werewolf and silver bullets and a lot of the stuff that has become almost campy doesn’t exist in the mythology of this movie. So you don’t need to have seen Lon Cheney Jr.’s The Wolf Man or An American Werewolf in London to get what’s going on here.”
According to Eggers’ Esquire interview, Taylor-Johnson plays a farmer who’s cursed. Depp stars as his wife, and Dafoe is a hunter. And Eggers threw in an interesting tidbit: only a dog in the film has a name.
“Witness Robert Eggers’ most visceral and haunting experience yet,” reads the studio’s synopsis. “Focus Features presents Werwulf, a harrowing tale of devotion, damnation, and the devil within.”
Focus Features has set a December 25, 2026 theatrical release.
Sjón co-wrote the film and produces along with Eggers, Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, and Garrett Bird. Executive producers include Chris Columbus, Eleanor Columbus, and Bernard Bellew.

Prime Video’s synopsis reads, “Five friends set out on one last adventure along Thailand’s stunning coast, eager for a final thrill before life in the real world begins. They sign up for a guided swim through a remote cave system known as The Devil’s Mouth, a natural wonder that’s as breathtaking as it is unforgiving.
Deep inside the labyrinth of narrow waterways, their journey takes a terrifying turn when they discover that a freak storm the week before flooded the caves with sea life. The creatures died in the fresh water, but something survived… and it’s hunting them now—fast, silent, and deadly. Every corridor they round is overflowing with anxiety, and every wrong turn becomes a deadly encounter.
As panic spreads and their sense of direction slips away, the group begins to fracture. Trust erodes, fear takes over, and survival becomes a savage game. In the suffocating darkness, every choice could be their last as they learn that to make it out alive, sacrifices must be made.”

People continues its dive into cults with People Magazine Investigates: The Cult of the Soulful Journey. The special presentation focuses on self-help guru Soulaire Allerai, who set up a commune in Minnetonka, Minnesota, promising her followers spiritual growth.
Investigation Discovery has set a Tuesday, July 21, 2026 at 9pm ET/PT premiere.
ID offers this description:
“Attracting followers by offering job possibilities, Soulaire Allerai created what appeared to be a blissful, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. For some, the prospect of a job with Allerai was so enticing, they moved their lives to Minnesota to live in communal homes with other members. Once settled in the Soulful Journey community, former members say that they paid for classes centered on Allerai’s claim that she could channel divine entities, including a figure named “G.”
Many followers were pushed to spend the little money they had, with some even needing to take out loans, to attend more classes.
Capturing a web of false promises and manipulation, People Magazine Investigates: The Cult of the Soulful Journey unpacks the stories of past Soulful Journey members, showing the psychological, emotional, and spiritual pain that they experienced during their time in Allerai’s world. Over the course of two hours, People Magazine Investigates: The Cult of the Soulful Journey uncovers the reality of the organization by sharing the first-hand story of Rik and Bill, a couple who was involved in the Soulful Journey. Their interviews, along with those of past members and family members still in the cult, expose how spiritual language and communal ideals can be weaponized to maintain control.”

Three dragons soar through the sky as HBO’s House of the Dragon season three episode two begins. The dragons circle over the devastation left in the aftermath of the Battle of the Gullet, continuing to set things on fire. Baela (Bethany Antonia) retrieves Jace’s dead body and brings it home to Dragonstone, where she informs Ser Lorent that the battle is won.
(The following is a recap of season three, episode two, and there are spoilers.)
Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) takes in the body of Jace and demands to know what he’s done, asking as if he’s still breathing. She slowly approaches his obviously deceased body and is overcome with grief and anger. “How could you do this to me?” she asks as she hits his body, as though trying to urge it back to life. Ser Lorent (Max Wrottesley) pulls her away and she reacts by telling him not to dare touch her. He acknowledges that he’s failed her and hands his queen his sword to kill him. Rhaenyra knows it won’t do any good; nothing will change.
She blames the rest of them for also betraying their queen by standing by and allowing Jace to fly into battle while she was locked in her room.
High Tide burns as Alyn (Abubakar Salim) looks for Lord Corlys in the ocean. His men are slaughtering Lohar’s remaining men.
Rhaena (Phoebe Campbell) returns to the Vale with her dragon, admitting she’s done a terrible thing. Lady Jeyne Arryn (Amanda Collin) demands that she leave; Queen Rhaenyra will be hunting her after causing Jace’s death. Rhaena insists that she’s offering protection with her dragon. She reminds Lady Jeyne that Vhagar is still a danger. Lady Jeyne doesn’t change her mind. She wants Rhaena out of the Vale.
Daemon’s men drink and sing, cheering on their victory, with the men of the Winter Wolves. Jason Lannister’s head and that of a lion are prominently displayed. Ser Simon Strong (Simon Russell Beale) joins them, and Daemon seems happy to see him and accepts his congratulations. He brought wine for the celebration along with a message from Queen Rhaenyra. Daemon learns Jace is dead and orders Ser Roderick Dustin (Tommy Flanagan) to march south to King’s Landing. He’ll meet him there and ensure they give Rhaenyra the Iron Throne.
He also commands Lord Oscar Tully (Archie Barnes) to return to the Riverlands to protect Harrenhal. Once Rhaenyra’s on the throne, he’ll send dragons to protect them.
Alys (Gayle Rankin) speaks to Daemon, telling him she put 40,000 River men at the queen’s call and wants Harrenhal in return. She cherishes it like no one else, and Daemon points out she’s not a noble and doesn’t have a title. He calls her a midwife but then assures her he’ll ask Rhaenyra for some other reward for her.
Lohar’s men are dead, scattered across the beach as Alyn continues to look for Lord Corlys. He’s joined by Baela, who believes they’ll find their father alive. Alyn asks about what he’s like, and she does a decent job of describing his personality.
Alyn watches as Addam (Clinton Liberty) also searches but from the sky, looking for any sign of Lord Corlys. Addam finally spots him and circles back.
Meanwhile, Larys (Matthew Needham) and Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) are still captives on the way to Rhaenyra. Aegon’s fuming that they will be killed by Rhaenyra. Suddenly the carriage stops and they open the door to discover a fight is underway outside. Aegon manages to attack the guard left behind and they escape. Aegon wants to head to Rook’s Rest.
Lord Corlys thinks if this is victory, he doesn’t want to see another. He’s got Addam, Alyn, and Baela by his side and knows that right now he’s got nothing left. High Tide has burned and his fleet is disseminated. All he has to give his sons now is his name, and Alyn confesses he believes that to be more valuable.
Alicent (Olivia Cooke) asks to speak with Commander of the City Watch Ser Luthor Largent (Tom Cullen) on an urgent matter. She informs him Rhaenyra is returning. Her daughter will allow Rhaenyra to enter the kingdom and take the throne, and she needs to know if he’ll allow his Gold Cloaks to let it happen.
Daemon is upset to learn from Ulf (Tom Bennett) and Hugh (Kieran Bew) that they left their position at Harrenhal because Aemond never showed up. Daemon points out that they only stayed there two days, and they left behind a garrison unprotected. Hugh claims a woman they believed was a maester or a witch told them about the Battle of the Gullet. They wonder if they should return to Harrenhal now and Daemon doesn’t respond.
Daemon is shocked to see Mysaria (Sonoya Mizuno) is free and has the queen’s trust. He thinks she’s playing a game and doesn’t believe Mysaria actually respects Rhaenyra. Mysaria points out not everything is about him.
No one seems to know where Aemond is. Mysaria insists the queen’s judgment is sound, but Daemon suspects Alicent’s lying. Word arrives that Vhagar is heading toward the Riverlands. Daemon will go; they don’t need to tell Rhaenyra.
Alicent commands her guards to secure the small council chamber. She’s going to call a meeting.
Daemon finds Rhaenyra in bed, deep in grief. She thinks Jace defied her while Daemon believes he was serving her. Rhaenyra informs her husband/uncle that Sheepstealer was responsible for Jace’s death, but they don’t know the rider. Some think it might have been claimed by a Hightower. Daemon tells her Vhagar has left King’s Landing, and Rhaenyra reacts by claiming she doesn’t care about the iron throne now that her boys are dead. Daemon insists they can’t let the boys die in vain. He confesses that at Harrenhal he saw a woman in the desert with dragons at her breast. (Daenerys!) He now believes the Song of Fire and Ice is real.
Lord Jasper Wylde (Paul Kennedy) confronts Alicent about her ability to weave herself into royalty. He knows she slept with Criston and demands to know why she secretly met with the City Watch. She struggles away from him and he’s about to rape her when Grand Maester Orwyle (Kurt Egyiawan) barges in. Jasper wants her arrested as a traitor, but instead the Grand Maester orders Jasper to be arrested for touching the Queen Mother.
After he’s taken away, Alicent thanks the grand maester. He knows she’s up to something and believes it’s something desperate.
Queen Rhaenyra returns to her council chambers with Daemon and announces she’s going to King’s Landing with Daemon and her new riders. Aemond is on his way to Harrenhal and when he returns, their window is shut.
Mysaria hands Queen Rhaenyra her crown and asks that she remember who’s been faithful and will send for her. Daemon orders Ulf and Hugh to stay behind them and watch the skies. They are to stay on guard and not disobey his orders. Once King Landing’s taken, they must turn their attention to Vhagar. He warns them not to let him down.

Alicent finds Helaena (Phia Saban) and tells her Rhaenyra’s coming. Helaena asks if there will be a battle and realizes her mother must have met with Rhaenyra. Alicent admits she made a mistake and that Aegon shouldn’t have been king. She reminds Helaena that she was happy before she was queen, and Helaena believes she’d like to keep chickens.
Alicent walks through the King’s Guard and asks to speak with Ser Freddryk. She orders him to have the guards stand down from their stations at Helaena’s order. Freddryk disagrees. Aemond told him to kill all dragons. Alicent points out Aegon is gone, Aemond fled the city with Vhagar, and Rhaenyra is on her way with Daemon. They will take the throne, and the guard needs to let them or else be burned to death. Helaena backs her mom up and claims this is her order.
Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel) and Ser Gwayne Hightower (Freddie Fox) watch Vhagar fly above and commence their march to Harrenhal.
Vhagar kills the men stationed outside the castle, working his way around it and lighting anyone he sees on fire. Parts of the castle crumble as he lands and kills the men inside.
It’s impossible for them to flee the flames and they’re consumed by fire. Those who avoided the fire attack Aemond, but his skills are too great and he slaughters them.
Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) enters the dining hall and approaches Ser Simon with his sword drawn. Finally, he removes his helmet and asks for Daemon. Aemond orders Simon to draw his sword, but Simon doesn’t have a sword and won’t retrieve one. Simon says the army is gone and there’s nothing to stop Aemond now. Aemond doesn’t reply and instead kills Simon and his sons.
The witch steps into the dining hall and Aemond drops his sword. He’s bleeding profusely from the back after one of the sons stabbed him. He slowly makes his way, crawling toward Alys, and asks for help before passing out.
Alicent’s order worked and the guards stand down, allowing Queen Rhaenyra and Daemon to enter King’s Landing. Alicent, Heleana, and her child quickly leave the city as the small folk stare in wonder and awe at the four dragons overhead.
Daemon has Caraxes descend and Queen Rhaenyra also lands on Syrax. The guards lay down their swords and drop to their knees, and Rhaenyra realizes Alicent did as she promised. Rhaenyra tells the guards not to be afraid. “I’ve come to make things right.”
A few guards inside the Red Keep attack as they enter but Daemon quickly dispatches them. Daemon shouts, asking who else will stand against them in their house. No one replies.

Queen Rhaenyra and Daemon walk down the hall toward the throne room, and Daemon kills anyone who attempts to stand in their way. He throws open the doors and Queen Rhaenyra stands before the Iron Throne. She briefly pauses and then as she’s ascending to the throne, the King’s Guard attempt to stop her. Queen Rhaenyra draws her sword as more men pour into the throne room.
The King’s Guard are soon surrounded by the Gold Cloaks. The City Watch remembers their commander and that Queen Rhaenyra is the one true queen. He orders the King’s Guard to put down their swords or perish. The Gold Cloaks seize the King’s Guard, and Queen Rhaenyra thanks Ser Luthor Largent. He reminds them that Prince Daemon gave him his gold cloak 20 years ago and is happy to see them.
Before she sits on the throne, she demands they bring Aegon to her.
The gold cloaks and Daemon head to Aegon’s room, only to discover it’s empty. Grand Maester Orwyle says Aegon and Larys fled, as did Alicent. Orwyle pledges himself to the rightful heir, Queen Rhaenyra. He says Daemon can kill him, but he can offer another who can give Daemon “better satisfaction.”
Helaena and Alicent hurry through the smallfolk and realize they can’t escape.
Daemon has prisoners released but then stands before Jasper’s cell. A man says he’s got a gift for Daemon from Lord Larys Strong and Daemon walks through the chamber into the darkness. He finally stands in front of a cell and laughs at whoever’s inside.
Queen Rhaenyra meets with those who’ve been imprisoned for failing to kneel to Aegon. Jasper’s brought before Queen Rhaenyra, and she demands to know who is left from Aegon’s small council.
The prisoner who made Daemon laugh is Ser Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans). He’s brought before Rhaenyra, and Daemon suggests that, since Aegon has fled, she should behead this Hightower in his place. Daemon whispers that the crowd is watching, and she confesses she doesn’t know if she can. Otto Hightower requests that Daemon do it; he doesn’t want to be hacked at.
Queen Rhaenyra takes his sword, and she orders Hightower to stop talking when he mentions her father. Daemon whispers, “In this moment, you will become Queen.”
Queen Rhaenyra circles Hightower and finally stands behind him. He bends his head forward and she takes a swing. He’s injured but not dead. Her second swing takes his head clean off. Daemon takes the sword and follows by beheading Jasper.
Queen Rhaenyra struggles to pull herself together and then, leaving a trail of bloody footprints, ascends to the Iron Throne.
Alicent and Helaena were found and Alicent stands behind her father’s dead body and stares at Queen Rhaenyra. The Queen has tears in her eyes but then transforms into steel in seconds.
