Season one of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters tracks two siblings looking to uncover their family’s connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch. Clues lead them into the world of monsters and ultimately down the rabbit hole to Army officer Lee Shaw, taking place in the 1950s and half a century later where Monarch is threatened by what Shaw knows.
Season two will pick up with the fate of Monarch—and the world—hanging in the balance. The dramatic saga reveals buried secrets that reunite our heroes (and villains) on Kong’s Skull Island and a new, mysterious village where a mythical Titan rises from the sea. The ripple effects of the past make waves in the present day, blurring the bonds between family, friend, and foe—all with the threat of a titan event on the horizon.

Filming is officially underway in Los Angeles on the upcoming third season of Netflix’s Nobody Wants This. Kristen Bell returns to star as Joanne the podcaster and Adam Brody is back as Noah the rabbi. Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, and Jackie Thon are also returning for season three of the Emmy-nominated comedy.
The popular series premiered in September 2024, followed by season two in October 2025. Season three is targeting a 2026 premiere.
Netflix hasn’t released a season three synopsis. Season two’s reads: “First comes love, then comes life. The last time we saw agnostic podcast host Joanne and unconventional (hot) rabbi Noah, their unmatched chemistry surprised everyone in their lives, including her sister Morgan (Lupe), his brother Sasha (Simons), and sister-in-law Esther (Tohn), and even themselves. Their spark proved stronger than all of the obstacles trying to keep them apart. Now, they’re back and fully committed to merging their lives—and loved ones—together. But their differences still exist and can’t be ignored. The challenge now is not just falling in love against all odds, but staying together in spite of them.”
Erin Foster created the series and serves as an executive producer. Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan guide the series as co-showrunners and executive producers. Additional executive producers include Kristen Bell, Sara Foster, Nora Silver, Steven Levitan, Danielle Stokdyk, Jeff Morton, and Oly Obst.
Fans hoping for an Eloise-centric season will have to wait a while longer. Bridgerton season five will take a two-year time jump and focus on the relationship between widow Francesca (Hannah Dodd) and John’s cousin, Michaela (Masali Baduza).
Netflix confirmed the couple in the spotlight and announced production has begun on the eight-episode fifth season. The sixth book in Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series, When He Was Wicked, serves as the inspiration for the upcoming season.
Netflix offers this description of the next season:
“The fifth season of Bridgerton spotlights introverted middle daughter Francesca. Two years after losing her beloved husband, John, Fran decides to reenter the marriage mart for practical reasons. But when John’s cousin Michaela returns to London to tend to the Kilmartin estate, Fran’s complicated feelings will have her questioning whether to stick to her pragmatic intentions or pursue her inner passions.”
Netflix also provided updated descriptions of Francesca and Michaela:
• Hannah Dodd as Francesca Stirling. Countess of Kilmartin: Reserved and contained, Francesca has long felt out of place in the world. As Michaela stirs up new feelings inside her, Fran will make discoveries about herself that could change everything.
• Masali Baduza as Michaela Stirling. Beneath Michaela’s charming and vivacious exterior hides a vulnerable young woman who is quick to run the second she feels discomfort. But this season, Michaela must face her vulnerability head-on as she’s forced to navigate her relationship to her late cousin’s legacy—and to Francesca.
Jess Brownell is the showrunner and serves as an executive producer alongside Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers, Tom Verica, and Chris Van Dusen.
“I cannot say enough good things about Hannah and Masali. The two of them have such a beautiful friendship and support each other in such a beautiful way,” said Brownell in an interview with Tudum. “But, beyond that, I really do think that they are two incredibly talented and special performers. They’re actors who are able to say so much with just an expression, with just their faces.”
The streamer hasn’t released a full cast list for season five. Season four starred Luke Thompson as Benedict, Yerin Ha as Sophie, Ruth Gemmell as Lady Violet Bridgerton, Claudia Jessie as Eloise, Hannah Dodd as Francesca, Victor Alli as John Stirling, Luke Newton as Colin, and Nicola Coughlan as Penelope. Adjoa Andoh is Lady Danbury, Golda Rosheuvel is Queen Charlotte, Julie Andrews voices Lady Whistledown, Lorraine Ashbourne is Mrs. Varley, Masali Baduza is Michaela Stirling, Daniel Francis is Lord Marcus Anderson, and Florence Hunt is Hyacinth.

Additional key cast members include Simone Ashley as Kate Bridgerton, Isabella Wei as Posy Li, Michelle Mao as Rosamund Li, and Katie Leung as Lady Araminta Gun.

“From being one of the first Apple Originals to launch on Apple TV in 2019, For All Mankind has remained an innovative, epic sci-fi series that has enthralled fans season after season,” commented Matt Cherniss head of programming for Apple TV. “As one of Apple TV’s most enduring and celebrated series, it has delivered time and again because of the extraordinary artistry of visionary storytellers Ron, Matt, and Ben, along with our partners at Sony, and we can’t wait for people to experience how this story comes to its exhilarating conclusion when the final season debuts next year.”
Apple TV offers this synopsis of season five:
In the upcoming season five of For All Mankind, the generation-spanning series picks up in the 2010s, years since the Goldilocks asteroid heist.

But with the nations of Earth now demanding law and order on the Red Planet, friction continues to build between the people who live on Mars and their former home.
Could Port Wenn have a plague problem? That’s the huge question on Fox’s Best Medicine episode 11. “Mind Your Own Buboes” airs on Tuesday, March 24, 2026 at 8pm ET/PT.
“Mind Your Own Buboes” Plot: Port Wenn goes on lockdown when a patient with fleas sparks fears of a plague outbreak and Martin must deal with the town gossip when it revolves around him and Louisa. Also, Aunt Sarah feels betrayed by Greg and George and Louisa has an epiphany.
Season one stars Josh Charles as Dr. Martin Best, Abigail Spencer (Suits) as Louisa Gavin, Annie Potts (Young Sheldon) as Aunt Sarah, Josh Segarra (Sirens) as Sheriff Mark Mylow, and Cree (Twinless) as Elaine Denton.

The series follows Martin Best (Charles), a brilliant surgeon who abruptly leaves his illustrious career in Boston to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent summers as a child. Unfortunately, Martin’s blunt and borderline rude bedside manner rubs the quirky, needy locals the wrong way, including schoolteacher Louisa Gavin (Spencer). He quickly alienates the town, even though he’s all they have.
Although Martin can expertly address any medical ailment or mystery in this idiosyncratic town, he’s really just desperate to be left the hell alone. Instead, he keeps getting dragged smack into the middle of their personal chaos, feuds, and fantasies. What the locals don’t know is that Martin’s terse demeanor masks a debilitating new phobia and deep-seated psychological issues that prevent him from experiencing true intimacy with anyone. But tenacity is the creed of everyone in their small village, and the people who live there may be exactly what the doctor ordered.
