One of the key reasons why Netflix remains the No. 1 streamer is that it carefully curates its programming to include original series and older shows that were originally shown on cable or broadcast networks. Earlier this year, Netflix added Dexter to its lineup, followed by Lost in July. Now, Prison Break has come to the streamer, and it’s our pick for the one Netflix show that you need to stream this August.

Elliot Page Says He Felt Pressure to Get Trans Representation Right In His New Movie, ‘Close To You:’ “As One Should”

It’s been one week since The Umbrella Academy shocked fans with an emotional, dramatic series finale that—major spoil alert—found all the main characters sacrificing themselves for the greater good. As one character, Five (played by Aidan Gallagher) puts it, it’s worse than if they killed themselves—they erased themselves from ever existing in the first place. It was a bold way to end the show’s four-season run, which first...

In the world of sci-fi television, few shows are like The Orville. You’re either the kind of person who is furious the show hasn’t been renewed for a fourth season, or you’re the type who asks, “What’s The Orville again?” The semi-comedic show, created by and starring Seth MacFarlane, debuted in 2017 on Fox, just a few weeks before Star Trek: Discovery. This detail is relevant because The Orville doesn’t even try to hide that it’s a Star Trek show with the serial numbers filed off.

Just days after the closing ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, a beloved Netflix romantic comedy set in the City of Light will debut its fourth season after a nearly two-year break. Emily in Paris, starring Lily Collins as the show’s wide-eyed American expat, returns for its split-in-half new season on Aug. 15, following that très dramatic end to Season 3 — which included the reveal that Emily’s flirt buddy Gabriel is expecting a child with his on-again, off-again French girlfriend Camille (who’s also friends with Emily).

Disney is pulling The Simpsons off of traditional television broadcast and moving to produce subscriber-only streaming episodes of the beloved Fox sitcom. When Disney purchased 21st Century Fox in 2019, it took ownership of notable superhero franchises that Marvel Studios had its eyes on for years, like the X-Men and the Fantastic Four. So far, that has paid off with the billion-dollar box office gross of Deadpool & Wolverine, and the Mouse is counting on the upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps to do the same.

Some of the most beloved episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series are laugh-out-loud comedies. Although the 1966-1969 series is often lauded for its ahead-of-its-time diversity and heady science fiction concepts, what all of this serious praise leaves out is that Star Trek was really fun, and often, quite funny. In fact, for decades, the most consistently cited fan-favorite episode of them all was David Gerrold’s 1967 romp, “The Trouble With Tribbles.” And when you start looking at some of the bright spots of TOS, more and more comedic episodes start cropping up. From “Shore Leave,” to “I, Mudd,” to “A Piece of the Action,” Star Trek is often hilarious.

Jeri Ryan took the role of the ex-Borg drone Seven of Nine on Star Trek: Voyager and made a fan-favorite character out of it. When Voyager ended, we thought we'd never see Seven of Nine again, but Star Trek: Picard changed all of that, allowing the character to return in the first season of the new series. Not only that, Ryan stayed for all three seasons of Picard, and Seven of Nine became the captain of the new Enterprise in the series finale. Fans are still hoping her journey will continue in the spin-off series, Star Trek: Legacy.

Apple TV+ has given a second season renewal to its sci fi series Dark Matter which is based on the book of the same name by Blake Crouch (and is not to be confused with the 2015 Syfy series that was cancelled after three seasons). That show did not make it into the Nielsen Streaming Rankings during its first season run, and it did receive mixed reviews (though it currently holds an 83% Fresh Ratings and 83% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes), but apparently it has performed well enough compared to other originals on the streaming service. The first season ended on a somewhat ambiguous note (as did the novel it is based on), and now the show will be able to carry on the story and further explore its universe. Since Crouch is the executive producer and showrunner of the series, he will be the perfect person to build on the story as it goes beyond the novel. He had the following to say about what to expect from the show going forward:
