Nation’s Dumbest: Taking attendance as host is acclaimed comedian Jack Whitehall, who presides over the chaos as contestants relive the highs and humiliations of school life — from pop quizzes and report cards to recess and parent-teacher conferences — all while trying to stay out of last place.

Nation’s Dumbest channels celebrities’ inner school spirit as they head back to summer school, facing a mix of brain-teasing tasks, fast-paced physical challenges, and long-buried classroom knowledge. Each week, the ‘smartest’ celebrity graduates, narrowing the field until a high-stakes final exam determines who will be left standing with the distinction no one wants—the title of The Nation’s Dumbest. 

Kitchen Nightmares: This season, Ramsay revamps restaurants in the Midwest, where he’s expecting hospitality. However, as he enters these struggling businesses in crisis, he quickly understands that the owners are stubbornly set in their ways. He exposes the stressful realities of running a successful food business, many of them family-owned and operated. As the restaurant owners are faced with enormous challenges, from health code violations and staffing issues to menu errors and kitchen conditions found only in nightmares, Ramsay is their restaurant 9-1-1 call and the last chance for their businesses to survive.

Beat Shazam: Hosted and executive-produced by award-winning actor, singer and comedian Jamie Foxx, who is joined by his daughter, producer and activist Corinne Foxx as co-host and deejay, Beat Shazam is an interactive game show that pits teams of two against the clock and each other, as they attempt to identify the biggest hit songs of all time. In the end, the team with the most money banked will outlast the competition and go against Shazam, the world’s most popular song identification app, for the chance to win $1 million dollars.

Over the course of its seven previous seasons, the show has given away more than $10 million dollars. In Season Eight, Beat Shazam will celebrate its 100th episode milestone and will feature special themed episodes throughout the season including ladies night, teams of NFL fans, heroes, college students, teachers, best friends and couples – all battling it out to win the prize of a lifetime.

Black Bear’s Spa Weekend trailer suggests that when life gets to be too much, the smart thing to do is escape for a relaxing weekend with your BFFs. However, as the trailer reveals, the planned super chill weekend turns into a wild and crazy adventure when an unexpected (and uninvited) friend shows up.

Leslie Mann, Michelle Buteau, and Anna Faris star as the friends ready for massages and lounging by the pool. Isla Fisher plays the friend who takes things up a couple of dozen notches.

“In the spirit of Bad Moms and The Hangover, Spa Weekend is a hilarious and heartfelt comedy about four lifelong friends who realize that somewhere between careers, relationships, families, and everyday responsibilities, they have forgotten how to take care of themselves and each other,” reads Black Bear’s synopsis. “Burned out and overdue for a break, the women escape to a luxury spa retreat for what turns out to be an unforgettable weekend dedicated to fun, laughter, and a lot of really bad decisions.”

Written and directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore (Bad Moms, 21 & Over), Spa Weekend opens in theaters on August 21, 2026.

Toy Story 5 Jessie Inspires Taylor Swift Song

14-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift returns to her country roots with a new, original song for Toy Story 5. “I Knew It, I Knew You” will be released on June 5, 2026, ahead of the film’s June 19 theatrical release.

Per Pixar, Swift’s original song takes its inspiration from cowgirl Jessie (voiced by Joan Cusack), who made her first appearance in the blockbuster animated franchise with Toy Story 2. Swift commented on her involvement in an Instagram post, saying, “I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5-year-old kid watching the first Toy Story movie. I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right?”

Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff wrote and produced the song, which will be included on the Toy Story 5 soundtrack.

Swift’s online store will offer three exclusive CD editions of the song: one as it appears in the film, one that’s a special acoustic version, and a special piano version.

“It’s incredible just how meaningful it’s been having Taylor write and perform this song. Her connection to Jessie and the immediate way she understood what the character was going through was undeniable,” said Toy Story 5 director and screenwriter Andrew Stanton. “The song is so deeply connected to Toy Story. So much so that on first listen, it instantly felt like it had always belonged there, like a long-lost family member. It was kismet.”

Disney and Pixar’s Official Toy Story 5 Synopsis:

The toys are back in Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5, and this time it’s Toy meets Tech. Woody (voice of Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (voice of Tim Allen), Jessie (voice of Joan Cusack) and the rest of the gang’s jobs are challenged when they come face-to-face with Lilypad (voice of Greta Lee), a brand-new tablet device that arrives with her own disruptive ideas about what is best for their kid, Bonnie. Will playtime ever be the same?

Starz offers this synopsis for season two:

“After an unexpected journey back in time left Henry (Irvine) and Julia (Corfield) Beauchamp lost and separated in the sweeping highlands of 18th-century Scotland, Season One culminated with the two finally reuniting at the standing stones of Craigh na Dun, hoping to return to their own time and their young daughter, Claire. The first glimpse at Season Two picks up at that moment and reveals a distraught Julia alone with their baby. Separated from his love and hope, Henry must grapple with his mental health, as he fights to find his way back to her.

Meanwhile, the forbidden relationship between Brian Fraser (Roy) and Ellen MacKenzie (Slater) seemed to conquer all odds, but their romantic escape was cut short as fiery crosses were lit and the 1715 Jacobite Rising began, thrusting the clans into war. In Season One, they chose each other over their families, but now they must prioritize their clan loyalties, as Brian fulfills his obligation to fight and Ellen seeks to make things right with her family.

As Season Two unfolds, the two young couples will be tested and separated once again by forces beyond their control, as every clan chooses a side in the rebellion.”

Matthew B. Roberts guides the series as showrunner. Executive producers include Roberts, Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, Toni Graphia, Luke Schelhaas, Michael Wilson, Jim Kohlberg, and Luke Parker Bowles.
