Emily in Paris will continue, with Netflix officially announcing the popular dramedy has been renewed for a sixth season. The renewal announcement comes less than two weeks after season five premiered on December 18, 2025.
Season five hit the #2 spot on the streamer’s Global Top 10 English TV list and racked up over 26 million views. The fifth season earned a 76% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Lily Collins stars in the titular role. The season five cast also includes Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie Grateau, Ashley Park as Mindy Chen, Lucas Bravo as Gabriel, Samuel Arnold as Julien, and Bruno Gouery as Luc. William Abadie plays Antoine Lambert, Lucien Laviscount is Alfie, Eugenio Franceschini is Marcello, Thalia Besson is Genevieve, and Paul Forman is Nico. Rounding out the ensemble are Arnaud Binard as Laurent G, Minnie Driver as Princess Jane, Bryan Greenberg as Jake, and Michèle Laroque as Yvette.
“Now the head of Agence Grateau Rome, Emily faces professional and romantic challenges as she adapts to life in a new city,” reads the fifth season’s synopsis. “But just as everything falls into place, a work idea backfires, and the fallout cascades into heartbreak and career setbacks. Seeking stability, Emily leans into her French lifestyle until a big secret threatens one of her closest relationships. Tackling conflict with honesty, Emily emerges with deeper connections, renewed clarity, and a readiness to embrace new possibilities.”
Netflix hasn’t released a description of the upcoming sixth season or announced a target premiere date.
Darren Star created the series and serves as writer and executive producer. Additional executive producers include Tony Hernandez, Lilly Burns, Andrew Fleming, Stephen Brown, Alison Brown, Robin Schiff, Grant Sloss, and Joe Murphy.
Zazie Beetz (Atlanta) stars as a young woman with a particular set of skills who’s forced to fight for her life in They Will Kill You. The trailer shows Beetz shocked to discover that she’s been set up to be sacrificed to the devil.
The cast also includes Myha’La, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Patricia Arquette.
New Line Cinema offers this synopsis: “The film unleashes a blood-soaked, high-octane horror-action-comedy in which a young woman must survive the night at the Virgil, a demonic cult’s mysterious and twisted death trap of a lair, before becoming their next offering in a uniquely brazen, big-screen battle of epic kills and wickedly dark humor.”
New Line Cinema’s set a March 27, 2026 theatrical release.
Kirill Sokolov and Alex Litvak co-wrote the screenplay, and Sokolov directs. Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Dan Kagan serve as producers, with Sokolov, Litvak, Russell Ackerman, John Schoenfelder, and Carl Hampe executive producing.
Sokolov’s behind-the-scenes team includes director of photography Isaac Bauman, production designer Jeremy Reed, editor Luke Doolan, costume designer Neil McClean, visual effects supervisor Marc Smith, composer Carlos Rafael Rivera, music supervisor Andrea von Foerster, and casting director Richard Delia.

I live for horror films, they are my comfort food especially when the real world gets too scary. And 2026 is looking tasty as both veteran horror directors and some young bloods have promising items on the menu. (Note: Films are listed by release date rather than preference.)
1. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple – January 16
Last year, 28 Years Later marked a disappointing return to the franchise, with original director Danny Boyle not finding anything fresh or compelling to say. But the one high point of the film was the section involving Ralph Fiennes and The Bone Temple. This month, Nia DaCosta (who did an inspired Candyman remake and a clever reimagining of Hedda Gabler) directs the second installment of the franchise’s new trilogy. Fiennes’ Dr. Kelson and his wicked cool memorial to death return, as well as Jack O’Connell (a standout in Sinners) and Alfie Williams as the young hero Spike.
2. A Useful Ghost – January 16
This is Thailand’s official submission for Best International Feature Film for the 98th Academy Awards. I had the opportunity to see it at the San Diego Asian Film Festival last year and it is unique. It leans more toward supernatural comedy but takes a dark turn toward the end. It actually feels like two films. The first is an oddball ghost tale romance about a wife coming back as a vacuum cleaner to be with her beloved husband. Yes, you read that right. The second story is connected to the first but turns the focus to ghosts who have been wronged by the people and corporations they worked for, and now they seek retribution.
Truly inventive and unexpected, delivering laughs as well as pathos and chills.
3. Mother of Flies – January 23
The Adams family—Toby Poser, John Adams, and Zelda Adams—has a new tale for you, Mother of Flies. Their impressive body of work includes The Deeper You Dig, Hellbender, Where the Devil Roams, and Hell Hole. Mother of Flies serves up a witchy tale involving a young woman facing life-threatening health issues and seeking out a witch in the woods for a spell to change her fate. Of course everything comes at a price.
For their latest film, family member Lulu has a more featured role than she has had in the past. The Adams family work outside the Hollywood studio system and are even on the fringes of indie cinema. Maybe that’s why they deliver inspired and clever riffs on the horror genre.

4. Return to Silent Hill – January 23
Christophe Gans gave us the intensely fun and darkly compelling Brotherhood of the Wolf back in 2001. Then he brought the video game Silent Hill to the screen in 2006. He created some intensely vivid visuals but fell short on the actual storyline. Now he returns with a second installment of the video game, and it has the potential to be a fun, surreal ride.
5. Send Help – January 30
Sam Raimi returning to directing horror is big news. The last horror feature he did was Drag Me to Hell in 2009. He did delight us with Ash Vs. the Evil Dead on TV and has produced the Evil Dead reboots, but having him back in the director’s chair for a new original horror film is something to get excited about.
Send Help gives us Linda Liddle (Rachel McAdams) as an abused employee who finds herself stranded on a desert island with her asshole boss, Bradley Preston (Dylan O’Brien). The tables get turned with Liddle savoring a chance for revenge. I’m sure there will be a lot of over-the-top fun as the two engage in a battle of wits and wills to see who will survive. And who doesn’t want to see their boss get their just desserts?
6. Dracula – February 6
Okay, Luc Besson is a wildly erratic filmmaker with gems like Léon: The Professional, Le Femme Nikita, and The Fifth Element, but he has also created some duds like Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Now he wants to try his hand at Bram Stoker’s bloodsucking classic with Caleb Landry Jones as Vlad/Dracula, Christoph Waltz as the stand-in for Van Helsing (Besson seems to be messing with the original text), and Zoë Bleu as Elisabeta / Mina. Danny Elfman composed the score. I am cautiously hopeful.
7. The Bride! – March 6
So Maggie Gyllenhaal had never seen the 1935 classic film The Bride of Frankenstein but was inspired to revisit it after seeing a tattoo of The Bride on a man’s arm. Not sure if that is the best starting point for a film but I’m game for this radical reimagining of the story that lets The Bride have a voice and center stage.
Jessie Buckley is the Bride in what looks to be a feminist take on the horror tale by Mary Shelley. Christian Bale is on hand as Frankenstein’s Monster. Trailer looks both punky and jokey so curious to see where this goes.
8. Alpha – March 27
Julia Ducournau may only have two feature films under her belt – Raw and Titane – but they are such audacious and wildly unpredictable films that I am ravenous to see what she does next. Ducournau’s films have been fueled by body horror and I’m not sure if that will be the case for Alpha but the story appears to be set in motion by a troubled 13-year-old getting a tattoo. The trailer reveals little of what the plot actually might be but whets your appetite with crazy, intense visuals.
Along with Raimi’s return to horror, this is the horror film I am most looking forward to. Can’t wait!
9. Violent Night 2 – December 4 Violent Night was a surprisingly successful (both at the box office and with critics) horror comedy fueled by a lot of clever, holiday-inspired kills. David Harbour is back as the kickass Santa Claus in this sequel to 2022’s Christmas action thriller. Tommy Wirkola is also back to direct so that’s very promising. Not sure what holiday horrors he’ll serve up to entertain us this time but I’m eager to unwrap it.
10. Werwulf – December 25
And to end the year, here’s another highly anticipated film, Robert Eggers’ Werwulf. It promises to be a 13th-century medieval take on the werewolf legend. Although not a direct follow-up to Eggers’ Nosferatu, it feels like a spiritual sequel and even features some of the same cast—Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp, and Willem Dafoe. Eggers co-wrote the screenplay with Sjón, the Icelandic poet/novelist that he co-wrote The Northman with.
I have loved all of Eggers’ films (especially The Witch and The Lighthouse) and appreciate his intense attention to detail. Hoping this proves to be a perfect way to ring out 2026.
Quick Honorable Mentions: Worldbreaker (January 30) from Session 9 director Brad Anderson; Iron Lung (January 30) based on the indie horror game; Psycho Killer (February 20) from Gavin Polone and featuring Malcolm McDowell; Hunting Matthew Nichols (March 27) which serves up a “documentary” about a man who vanished while filming a Blair Witch Project-inspired investigation; Ready or Not: Here I Come (March 27) serves up a sequel to the popular horror film; Evil Dead Burn (July 24), an Evil Dead film from Infested director Sébastien Vaniček; Flowervale Street (August 14), from It Follows director David Robert Mitchell; The Backrooms (TBD), a big-screen take on Kane Parsons’ viral YouTube horror universe; and The Young People (TBD) from director Osgood Perkins.
‘Mayor of Kingstown’ returns for season 5 (Photo Credit: Paramount+)
Paramount+’s Mayor of Kingstown will wrap up with a just-announced fifth and final season. The finale of season four concluded several storylines, including Merle Callahan’s, and the 10-episode season saw multiple supporting characters killed off. However, the Colombian cartel still had soldiers in Kingstown and we may not have seen the last of Frank Moses (Lennie James) and his men.
Among those who survived season four are series star Jeremy Renner as Mike McLusky, Hugh Dillon as Ian, Derek Webster as Stevie, Taylor Handley as Kyle, Tobi Bamtefa as Bunny, and Laura Benanti as Cindy. Edie Falco’s Warden Hobbs also escaped the bloodbath and was still in charge of the prison as season four wrapped up.
“In season four, Mike’s control over Kingstown is threatened as new players compete to fill the power vacuum left in the Russians’ wake, compelling him to confront the resulting gang war and stop them from swallowing the town,” reads Paramount+’s synopsis. “Meanwhile, with those he loves in more danger than ever before, Mike must contend with a headstrong new warden to protect his own while grappling with demons from his past.”
The streamer hasn’t released a description of season five or a target premiere date.
Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon created the series and serve as executive producers. Additional executive producers include Jeremy Renner, Antoine Fuqua, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Michael Friedman, Christoph Schrewe, Wendy Riss, Evan Perazzo, and Keith Cox. Dave Erickson executive produces and is the series’ showrunner.
Mayor of Kingstown is produced by Paramount Television Studios, 101 Studios, and Bosque Ranch Productions.
The 2026 Critics Choice Awards honoring the best of 2025 in television and films was held on Sunday, January 4th, with Chelsea Handler taking on hosting duties for the fourth consecutive year. Sinners went into the Critics Choice Awards with the most nominations at 17 and won four. Frankenstein also had a huge evening, winning in four categories, including a surprise win for Jacob Elordi as Best Supporting Actor. (Disclosure: I voted for him and did a semi-restrained happy dance when he won.) But it was One Battle After Another that took home the major awards: Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
On the television side, Adolescence ruled the Limited Series categories, picking up four wins. The Pitt won three awards, including Best Drama, and The Studio stood out among the comedies.

Fox’s teaser for Doc season two, episode 10, warns fans should prepare for an explosive second half of the season. Episode 10’s promo also shows the return of Dr. Richard Miller, played by Scott Wolf. The midseason premiere, “Chief,” will air on Tuesday, January 6, 2026 at 9pm ET/PT.
“Chief” Plot: With the search underway to find out the truth about Amy’s hacked accounts, she and Sonya butt heads while treating a homeless patient with a crush injury who was dumped in front of Westside Hospital. Jake and TJ help a distraught mother figure out why her daughter is in a coma. Hannah cares for a charming high school athlete while working with Charlie to cover their tracks by infiltrating the hospital computer system. Unfortunately, those efforts result in major collateral damage.
Molly Parker stars as Dr. Amy Larsen, Omar Metwally plays Dr. Michael Hamda, Felicity Huffman is Dr. Joan Ridley, Amirah Vann is Dr. Gina Walker, and Charlotte Fountain-Jardim plays Katie Hamda. Jon Ecker is Dr. Jake Heller and Anya Banerjee plays Dr. Sonya Maitra.
“Inspired by a true story and based on the hit eponymous Italian drama series, Doc begins its second season of the life-affirming medical drama following the heartbreak and victories of hard-charging, brilliant physician DR. AMY LARSEN (Parker) as she rebuilds her life after a car crash erased eight years of her memory. This season, Amy will continue to confront hard truths about her missing years, work to repair fractured relationships and seek to reconcile the person she used to be with the one everyone else has come to know.
Determined to get her memory back and piece together who she really is, Amy’s goal is to become the doctor she used to be in those missing years and to eventually, once again, be Chief of Internal Medicine. In the interim, her ex-husband/Westside Hospital’s Chief Medical Officer, DR. MICHAEL HAMDA (Metwally) fills the position with Amy’s former mentor and friend DR. JOAN RIDLEY (Huffman), whose motives and priorities remain hidden, just as long as Amy still can’t recall Joan’s life-changing secret. Amy’s best friend and colleague, DR. GINA WALKER (Vann), is weary of Joan’s motives and continues to be a beacon of support for those around her, while finally learning to put on her own oxygen mask first.
While relearning eight years of medical advancements is complicated, it pales in comparison to learning to navigate her new/old/current romantic entanglements. Amy continues to fight her feelings and let Michael go, especially now with the birth of his son with his new wife, bringing up emotions for both Amy and their daughter KATIE HAMDA (Fountain-Jardim). Amy’s on-again, off-again relationship with Chief Resident DR. JAKE HELLER (Ecker) is a bit more delicate as he struggles to protect his heart from her this time around. However, DR. SONYA MAITRA (Banerjee) would only be too glad to pick up the pieces, navigating the balance between her feelings for Jake and her complicated resentment towards Amy.
The second season of Doc begins as Amy’s past comes back to haunt her when a desperate father sacrifices everything to secure his daughter’s heart transplant. Chaos and confusion reverberate through the hallways of Westside Medical when a subsequent high-stakes emergency leaves a doctor’s life in the balance.”
