The Wistoria: Wand and Sword release schedule sees new manga chapters released on a monthly basis. Since it began serialization in 2020, more than 60 chapters have been published of Fujino Omori and Toshi Aoi’s increasingly popular manga series. With season two of the anime wrapped up and season three on the way, now is the perfect time to use our Wistoria: Wand and Sword release schedule to get caught up on the story.

New chapters of the Wistoria: Wand and Sword manga come out most months in Kodansha’s Bessatsu Shonen Magazine. That magazine publishes around the 8th of every month. While there are occasional breaks and changes to the schedule, it has been fairly consistent in the nearly six years that the mana has been published.

Wistoria: Wand and Sword chapter 67 is due out on August 8, 2026 in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine. It should be uploaded to the KManga website, complete with an English translation, shortly after. The release date for new chapters is usually on or around the 8th of each month, when Bessatsu Shonen Magazine is published. However, there are occasional breaks and hiatuses that can cause delays, so it is best to keep an eye on official sources.

It's that time of year again: the school year is nearly upon us. And what are anime and manga fans to do when it comes to getting school supplies for the coming school year? School supplies don't have to be boring, which is why we've gathered up all the best Studio Ghibli, Naruto, One Piece, My Hero Academia, Dragon Ball, and Cowboy Bebop school supplies for middle schoolers, high schoolers, and college students. 

We scoured the internet for the best anime school supplies, and rounded them all up here. 

Why it's great: Who doesn't love Totoro? I used to hate using pencils in school because it meant I was doing math, but I would have loved using these. 

The best comics in the world were once unknown to everyone outside of the people who created it. Now with new comics competing against the best new comics from all over the world, it's hard to stand out sometimes. So that's why initiatives such as the Dwayne McDuffie Award for Diversity In Comics are so important. Ahead of an awards ceremony later this month at Comic-Con International: San Diego, the nominees for the prestigious award are now public. 

"Now more than ever it’s critical to ensure Dwayne’s legacy of excellence, humanity and truthfulness in storytelling is never forgotten," says the awards' continuing director Will J. Watkins. "For the last 10 years, the DMAD has been able to highlight, elevate, and create more space to celebrate the work of a wide variety of diverse comic book creators. We plan to do that for this 11th year, another 10 years, and beyond."

The awards are named after the late Dwayne McDuffie, the revolutionary renaissance man of comics and animation who created or co-created everything from Static and Damage Control to the pioneering Milestone Comics company. 

The beginning of the end for Marvel’s Multiverse Saga, and Phase 6 of the MCU, arrives when Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters December 18, 2026. If you’re looking to catch up on the most recent era of Marvel Studios, here’s a complete guide to watching Marvel’s Phase 6 TV shows and movies in release and chronological order.

Phase 6 of the MCU may only include four movies, but there are numerous television projects, including Daredevil: Born Again and VisionQuest. It should be noted that not all projects are set in mainstream continuity, also known as the Sacred Timeline. Animated projects like Marvel Zombies and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man are considered part of Phase 6, but they are set in other continuities within the multiverse - we'll cover that in our next section.

The Sacred Timeline is the main timeline within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where a majority of the movies and television shows take place. You’ve probably noticed that not all the projects are set in the year they were released. For this timeline, we’ve looked at production interviews and contextual clues to figure out when something takes place. For example, Paul Bettany has stated that VisionQuest takes place one year after WandaVision, placing it around 2025. The synopsis description for an official merchandise tie-in to Spider-Man: Brand New Day notes that the movie is set four years after No Way Home, placing it in 2028.

Whether you're spending the weekend at Florida Supercon 2026 or couldn't make it to Miami Beach this year, Popverse is bringing the biggest moments from the show straight to you by filming all the FSC 2026 main stage panels. From Marvel Studios' Daredevil: Born Again and Defenders casts, to a rare reunion of the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles voice cast with TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman (!!), and fan-centric hours with the casts of the hit Chainsaw Man anime and the internet animation sensation the Amazing Digital Circus, we've got something for everyone.

We plan to release all the Florida Supercon 2026 panels online by July 31 at 5 p.m. Eastern, thanks to our friends at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. Whether you want to re-live the panels you loved, see the panels you missed, or share links with your friends about what you were in yourself, we've got you.

Here are all the FSC 2026 panel videos you can look forward to, and when: 

After a long hiatus, the Boruto release schedule has become fairly consistent over the past few years. The series, which is a direct sequel to Naruto, is focused on showing what happens after Naruto achieved his goal of becoming Hokage and the impact his actions have had on his son. The Boruto manga continues to run, with new chapters released most months.

New Boruto chapters are usually released once a month. Originally, the series was published in Weekly Shonen Jump, which meant it had a weekly release schedule. However, since 2019, it has been published in V Jump, a monthly magazine also published by Shueisha. This means that new chapters of Boruto typically come out around the 20th of each month, but the exact publication date can change.

The next chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex will be Chapter 36, which will be released on July 20, 2026. This follows Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 35, which came out on June 18, 2026. We’ve approximated the release dates for upcoming Boruto chapters below, but due to the fact that V Jump often shifts its release date each month, it is difficult to know for sure. They are usually released around the 20th of each month.

The RuriDragon release schedule has been a little haphazard at times. Shortly after it began serialization in 2022, the mangaka took an extended break for their health. The series would come back nearly two years later and has been published fairly consistently since then. However, there are still some breaks in the regularly scheduled RuriDragon release schedule, which is where we can help.

New RuriDragon chapters are usually released every two to four weeks. This seems to be a more sustainable pace for Masaoki Shindo, the mangaka who created the series. After a bumpy launch, which included an 18-month hiatus a month after the first chapter was posted, RuriDragon has struggled with consistency in its release schedule. The series has taken multiple breaks over the past year, though they have all been relatively short.

The next chapter of RuriDragon will be Chapter 48 and will be released on July 12, 2026. This follows the erratic release schedule that the series has dealt with throughout 2026, when each chapter’s release date was unpredictable. The most recent chapter of RuriDragon was Chapter 47, released on June 14, 2026.

The star-studded sports mockumentary sitcom The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins is a cornucopia of comedic catnip. The Season 1 finale debuted on April 13th, 2026, and fans were soon asking if the show would return for another season. NBC has already renewed The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins for Season 2, and you can expect to see those episodes begin to arrive in the fall (and rise) of 2026.

The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins stars the one-and-only Tracy Morgan in the titular role. Dinkins is a former football star who is trying to rekindle his career. He's aided by his ex-wife and business manager, Monica (Erika Alexander), and the two have a teenage son, Carmelo (Jalyn Hall). Dinkins also has a fiancée, Brina (Precious Way). Rounding out the cast is Dinkins' best friend and former teammate, Rusty (Bobby Moynihan), and the director of his documentary, Arthur Tobin (Daniel Radcliffe).

It's no surprise that The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins has been renewed for a second season. The debut episode was the most-watched comedy episode of the 2025-2026 broadcast TV season. It was also NBC's most watched comedy series debut since Night Court began in 2023. And on Rotten Tomatoes, the show holds a 97% Fresh rating. Here's a complication clip from the series:

In Happy's Place, sitcom and country music all-star Reba McEntire plays Bobbie, a woman who co-inherits her late father's bar alongside her previously-unknown half-sister Isabella (Belissa Escobedo). The Season 2 hour-long finale aired Friday, April 24th, 2026 and brought characters to both romantic and professional crossroads, leaving audiences wondering whether the show would be returning for Season 3. Fortunately we can confirm that NBC has renewed Happy's Place for Season 3, and you can expect those episodes to arrive in October 2026.

Thanks to their father's bequeathment, Bobbie and Isabella are co-owners of the titular bar and grill. In the season finale, Isabella convinces Bobbie to attend therapy with her, leading to the revelation that Bobbie is harboring resentment towards her late father for keeping Isabella a secret from her. Meanwhile, Bobbie also harbors romantic feelings towards head chef Emmett (Rex Linn), but Emmett is dealing with this realization that the woman he thought he was interested in, Monica the health inspector (Cheri Oteri), is actually just a friend.

Modern Family star Eric Stonestreet appeared in the season finale as Dr. Russ, the couples therapist who helped Bobbie and Isabella sort out their sisterly issues. In an interview with NBC Insider, Stonestreet said, "I was just blown away by some of the realness of the dialogue between them and the beauty of the things that [Bobbie and Emmett) said to each other. They're showing what it's like to be an adult, be experienced in relationships, and know how to navigate treacherous waters in the most respectful and best way for them. So I have a good feeling for them."

St. Denis Medical is a workplace comedy set in an underfunded Oregon hospital, following the professional and personal trials and travails of those who work there. The Season 2 finale debuted on April 6th, 2026, and fans promptly began asking whether the show would return for another season. Today we can confirm that NBC has renewed St. Denis Medical for Season 3, so you can expect new episodes to arrive beginning in November 2026.

The cast is lead by Wendi McLendon-Covey, who plays St. Denis Medical Director Joyce Henderson. She works alongside surgeon Bruce (Josh Lawson), grumpy emergency physician Ron (David Alan Grier), workaholic supervising nurse Alex (Allison Tolman), rambunctious travel nurse Serena (Kahyun Kim), registered nurse Matt (Mekki Leeper) and surly nurse administrator Val (Kaliko Kauahi). The show has also had a plethora of impressive guest stars over the course of its first two seasons, including Ariana Madix, Wayne Knight, Kristen Schaal, Mindy Sterling and Sam Richardson.

In a panel reported on by IndieWire, series co-creator and showrunner Eric Ledgin spoke to the trust he had in those on set, saying, “We’re very lucky. You can imagine a set where you have actors where you might have to go, ‘Listen, David and Josh have stuff, so we have to make sure that the water bottle thing doesn’t get [out of hand.]’ We’re very lucky we don’t have that. We have a sense of professionalism and trust, and it works.” Here's a complication clip from St. Denis Medical:

On workplace sitcom Animal Control, Senior Animal Control Officer Frank Shaw (Joel McHale) leads a team who is devoted to serving and protecting the animals of Seattle. The Season 4 finale of the hilarious series debuted on April 23rd, 2026, and fans of the show were left to wonder whether Season 5 was on the way. Today we can tell you that Fox has indeed renewed the show for a fifth season, and you can expect those episodes to arrive in the fall of 2026.

In addition to Shaw, Animal Control also boasts a full roster of hilarious characters. Shaw's partner is Fred "Shred" Taylor (Michael Rowland), a former professional snowboarder with a heart of gold that offsets Shaw's rough demeanor. The director of the precinct is Emily Price (Vella Lovell), a well-intentioned if overly anxious woman who becomes involved in a romance with Shred. Working alongside Shaw and Shred are fellow officers Amit Patel (Ravi V. Patel), a man with a big family and a bigger appetite, and Victoria Sands (Grace Palmer), a promiscuous bisexual immigrant who alternatively serves as Shaw's love interest and his romantic rival.

Rounding out the cast is Templeton Dudge (Gerry Dee), Shaw's professional nemesis and a transfer from another precinct, as well as Templeton's lackey Daisy Cannon (Kyla Pratt) and Emily's assistant Bettany (Krystal Smith). Here's a clip from Animal Control in which Shred is honored for receiving his first on-duty bite from an animal as Shaw attempts to rescue 24 kittens in 24 hours:

For comic fans who grew up in the 1990s and 2000s, the DC Animated Universe (DCAU) was a defining part of superhero animation, bringing iconic DC characters to the small screen in shows like Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, Justice League, and Batman Beyond. Nearly two decades after the last DCAU television series ended, the universe remains one of DC's most beloved continuities. If you're wondering where to start, this guide explains how to watch the DCAU in both release and chronological order, along with our picks for the best episodes if you're short on time.

The DC Animated Universe kicked off in 1992 with Batman: The Animated Series, which was originally designed as a standalone project. The success of the series led to Warner Bros. Animation producing Superman: The Animated Series, and that’s the moment the world became an animated universe. Static Shock was initially conceived as its own project, but later crossovers with DC characters established it as part of the DCAU. Although the DCAU hasn’t been on television since Justice League Unlimited ended in 2006, the universe has continued through direct-to-video animated films such as Batman and Harley Quinn and Justice League vs. The Fatal Five.

Watching the DCAU in chronological order is slightly different than release order, due to Batman Beyond being set decades in the future. For the timeline above, we’ve generally assumed each show is set relative to when it aired. For example, we placed Static Shock before Justice League because it premiered first. For shows that aired at the same time, it’s assumed that they take place concurrently, but in those cases we’ve put whichever show aired first earlier in the chronology. Batman and Harley Quinn and Justice League vs. The Fatal Five are tricky, but we’ve placed them based on contextual clues and creator interviews.

Fox's Universal Basic Guys Season 2 finale debuted on April 12th, 2026, leaving fans asking whether the show would return for a third season. Happily, Fox has renewed the show for Season 3, and you can expect those new episodes to begin airing in fall 2026 alongside the other shows in the Animation Domination lineup.

In Universal Basic Guys, brothers Mark and Hank (both voiced by Adam Malamut) have lost their jobs, but gained a Universal Basic Income as a result - meaning that they don't have to get new ones. So while Mark's wife Tammy (Talia Genevieve) continues to work as a nurse, Mark and Hank have wild adventures as they seek to fill their days with non-work-related activity. We should all be so lucky.

As the saying goes, idle hands are the devil's playthings, and Mark and Hank do their best to live up to that axiom without jobs to occupy their time. In one episode, Mark attempts to bond with Darren, leading to them meeting the Jersey Devil (Jon Glaser), a recurring character. In another episode, Tammy saves a man from choking, leading Mark to grow obsessed with saving a life himself. The show's cast also includes Mark and Tammy's neurotic neighbor, David (Fred Armisen) and his well-paid working wife Andrea (Ali Maki), as well as Tammy's son from a previous marriage, Darren (Brandon Wardell).

Grimsburg is an animated sitcom that follows the titular town's greatest detective, Marvin Flute (Jon Hamm)... But can he solve the curious case of his own family? The Season 2 finale, "Across the Flutiverse," debuted almost a year ago, on July 17, 2025. But happily for fans of the series, the show has been renewed by Fox for Season 3! You can expect new episodes of Grimsburg to arrive in the fall of 2026.

Marvin is the ex-husband of anchor woman Harmony Flute (Erinn Hayes) and the estranged father of Stan Flute (Rachel Dratch), who is desperate to see his parents reunited. Marvin works alongside Lt. John Kang (Greg Chun), who serves as a mentor figure, and Det. Greg Summers (Kevin Michael Richardson), a cyborg officer (who was a carousel operator before his procedure). Rounding out the cast is the inimitable but very prolific Alan Tudyk as Marvin's nemesis (and former music teacher) Dr. Rufis Pentos and Stan's imaginary friend, Mr. Flesh.

While Grimsburg is a detective comedy, it veers quite heavily into the realm of sci-fi. The Season 2 finale, "Across the Flutiverse," showed glimpses of other timelines, and the characters have even found themselves trapped in a TV sitcom version of their lives. Here's a clip from the series:

Created by Dan Harmon (Rick and Morty) and set in Ancient Greece, Krapopolis is set in one of the very first cities on Earth. When the Krapopolis Season 3 finale, "Advanced Family Portraiture," debuted on April 19th, 2026, fans of the series were left asking whether the show would be returning for Season 4. Fortunately we can confirm that Fox has already renewed the series for both Season 4 and Season 5, and you can expect the next season to begin in early 2027.

Krapopolis stars Richard Ayoade in the role of Tyrannis, the demigod king of the titular city. Tyrannis is son to Shlub (Matt Berry) and Deliria (Hannah Waddingham), and half-brother to inventor Hippocampus (Duncan Trussell) and Stupendous (Pam Murphy), the head of the Krapopolis military. The series also has a plethora of recurring and guest star characters, with a cast that includes more than its fair share of voice acting legends and Community alums. 

The conclusion of the third season saw some major status quo shakeups in Krapopolis. Zeus (Richard Kind) was awakened from his vegetative state and woke up quite grumpy, firing one of his lightning bolts at Shlub.  Just how these "shocking" (get it) events will play out remains to be seen. But in the meantime, here's a clip from Krapopolis Season 3:

The second animated series from creator Seth MacFarlane, American Dad! has become almost as popular as its predecessor, Family Guy. So it's no surprise that as soon as the show's Season 22 finale debuted on June 21st, 2026, fans were immediately curious if the series would be returning for another season. Fortunately, Fox has already renewed American Dad! for four additional seasons, so you can expect Season 23 to debut in 2027.

American Dad! follows the Smith family, who live in the fictional suburb of Langley Falls, Virginia. Patriarch Stan (Seth MacFarlane) is a CIA Agent and Republican, his wife Francine (Wendy Schaal) is a stay-at-home mom, and their kids are Hayley (Rachael MacFarlane), an outspoken liberal, and Steve (Scott Grimes), a teenage nerd. Rounding out the family are Klaus Heisler (Dee Bradley Baker), a goldfish implanted with the brain of an East German Olympic ski jumper, Roger (Seth MacFarlane), an alien who escaped from Area 51, Rogu (Baker), Roger's tumor/son, and Hayley's husband Jeff (Jeff Fischer).

When American Dad! returns, you can expect the episodes to debut on Fox. For many years, the series aired on TBS. However, with Season 22, the show returned to its original home on Fox. Season 23 and the three additional seasons will also air on Fox.

For a quarter of a century, Family Guy has brought irreverent and hilarious animated comedy to fans. So when the Season 24 finale debuted on May 17th, 2026, audiences immediately asked whether the series would be returning again in the fall. Fortunately Fox has already renewed the Seth MacFarlane created show through Season 30, and you can expect Season 25 to begin midseason, in early 2027.

Family Guy is the story of the Griffin family, who live in the fictional Rhode Island suburb of Quahog. MacFarlane himself voices the incompetent and rude patriarch of the family, Peter, the family's flamboyant genius baby, Stewie, and the alcoholic wanna-be writer family dog, Brian. Rounding out the family is matriarch Lois (Alex Bornstein), eldest son Chris (Seth Green) and the middle-est middle child of all time, Meg (Mila Kunis). The show also features Peter's best friends Glenn Quagmire (MacFarlane), Cleveland Brown (Mike Henry) and Joe Swanson (Patrick Warburton).

In addition to Family Guy Season 25, 2027 will also see the arrival of a spinoff series, Stewie. This series will follow the youngest member of the Griffin family as he transfers to a new preschool. There he'll meet a new cast of characters, including a class pet turtle who is seventy-five years old. Armed with his eclectic array of sci-fi inventions, the series is sure to provide the kind of incredible adventures that would never occur on The Magic School Bus.

Sometimes you just want to go where you know your burger will have a funny name, and there's no better location for that than Bob's Burgers. The Season 16 finale of the beloved animated series was released on May 17th, 2026, leaving fans immediately hungry for more. Fortunately, Fox has already renewed Bob's Burgers through its 19th season, so more is already on the way! You can expect Bob's Burgers Season 17 to begin in early 2027.

Bob's Burgers is the story of the Belcher family, who live above the burger joint helmed by patriarch Bob (Jon Benjamin). Assisted by his wife, Linda (John Roberts) and their three kids, Tina (Dan Mintz), Gene (Eugene Mirman) and Louise (Kristen Schaal), Bob strives to provide a steady stream of unique burgers to the restaurants customers, which include the omnipresent Teddy (Larry Murphy). Over the years the cast of the series has expanded to include many fan-favorite characters, many of them voiced by heavy comedy hitters like Sarah Silverman, Dave Herman, Brian Huskey, Jenny Slate and many more. 

The 17th season of Bob's Burgers will be comprised of 15 episodes and, thanks to the midseason release in early 2027, there will be fewer interruptions in the show's weekly release schedule. This will allow the show to avoid a four-month midseason hiatus like the ones that occurred in Bob's Burgers Season 15 and Season 16.

Season 2 of X-Men '97 is upon us, and even though we'll be entering the show's sophomore season in the wake of Gambit, Banshee, and countless other mutants' deaths, fear not! More mutants are on their way, including Polaris, Quentin Quire, Chamber, Penance, Siryn, Exodus, Archangel, and Psylocke. Here is the full X-Men '97 season 2 release schedule, including dates and episode titles.

X-Men '97 Season 2 will kick off with a 3-episode premiere, which is tremendously exciting, before going to a weekly single-episode drop until the season's conclusion in mid-August 2026.

Disney+  hasn't announced the exact time for when new episodes of X-Men '97 season 2 come out, but back Season 1 episodes dropped at 3am Eastern, 12am Pacific, and other Disney+ shows have followed a similar time pattern for episode releases. Based on that knowledge, it's safe to assume that will also be the case for season 2, although we haven't gotten any official confirmation as of writing. Should that change, we will update this guide when we do know.

The Classroom of the Elite release schedule is focused on the only ongoing part of the series, the manga. The series follows Kiyotaka Ayanokoji as he tries to navigate the ultra-competitive school designed to weed out the weak and elevate the great. Across the three years that he and his classmates are together, we find out that Kiyotaka is not just more than what he seems, but he is also hiding a dark past. Our Classroom of the Elite release schedule will let you know exactly when the next chapter of the manga is due out.

Generally, new chapters of Classroom of the Elite come out every month in Monthly Comic Alive in Japan. They are usually uploaded to the magazine’s website shortly after. There are occasional breaks, usually between arcs or during holidays in Japan, but these are relatively rare.

The Classroom of the Elite manga is still ongoing. While the original manga finished several years ago, it was followed by Classroom of the Elite Year 2. That manga finished in December 2024, but Classroom of the Elite Year 2 2nd Stage began just a month later and continues running today. Additionally, the original Classroom of the Elite light novel, which is the basis for the manga and the anime, is still ongoing, with the Year 3 storyline starting in May 2025.

It's never been a better time to be a Critical Role fan. The Legend of Vox Machina has just aired its penultimate season and The Mighty Nein has started its run by exploding into Prime Video's top charts. With all that excitement, it's natural that Critters would want to know The Mighty Nein season 2 schedule, and Popverse is here to help. Compiling cast interviews, The Mighty Nein season 2, and of course Critical Role Campaign 2, here's everything we know about The Mighty Nein season 2's release date schedule.

The Mighty Nein season 2's release date has not been officially announced by Prime Video. However, Critical Role's Travis Willingham has made recent comments indicating that an official announcement regarding The Mighty Nein season 2's release date is on its way soon.

The Mighty Nein season 2 will be 8 episodes, provided it follows the pattern set down by The Mighty Nein season 1. This is pending an official announcement rom Prime Video, however, and we cannot guarantee that the show's sophomore season will be tailored like its premiere.

Following any The Beginning After The End release schedule requires a little bit of clarification. Because there are currently three different versions of the story floating around, you need to make sure you’re talking about the right one. Whether you’re looking for the original web novel, the comic, or the anime, you’ll find the information you need in our The Beginning After The End release schedule.

New chapters of The Beginning After The End comic are released most weeks, usually on Thursday. The original novel by TurtleMe has already finished, so all that is left is for the comic to catch up to the ending of the novel.

The next chapter of TBATE is coming out on July 9, 2026. It will be Chapter 243 of the comic. The comic typically has a weekly release schedule, so new chapters come out on Thursdays. There are occasional breaks and gaps, but it usually runs pretty consistently.

The Witch Hat Atelier release schedule has been a bit rocky over the years. With art that is generally gorgeous and a story that is both heartwarming and tragic in equal doses, it is a grand undertaking for creator Kamome Shirahama. There have been several short hiatuses in the nearly 10-year run of the manga, so follow our Witch Hat Atelier release schedule to keep up-to-date with the latest news.

Most months, a new Witch Hat Atelier chapter is released on the fourth Thursday of the month in Japan, which translates to Wednesday in the US thanks to time zones. These chapters are usually translated into English within a week of their Japanese release, though there have been occasional delays in translated chapters being posted online.

The Witch Hat Atelier 98 release date is July 23, 2026 in Japan, which will be July 22, 2026 in the US. It was previously scheduled for June 25, 2026, but got delayed as the creator needed more time for the chapter. It is currently a busy period for Witch Hat Atelier; not only is the manga still ongoing, but the tenth anniversary of the first chapter is coming up in July 2026 and the first season of the long-awaited anime has finally wrapped up.

Our Bleach release schedule can help you navigate all the rumors and speculation around the hit manga’s supposed return. Ten years after the initial run ended, Tite Kubo’s iconic shonen manga looks like it may be returning for an upcoming new arc in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump. We’ll talk you through the validity of these rumors and make sure you know what the official Bleach release schedule will be going forward.

The most recent chapter of Bleach was released on August 10, 2021. It was a 73-page bonus chapter that was released to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the original manga’s release. If you’re thinking of the main story, Bleach ran from August 7, 2001 to August 22, 2016. With the main story having been completed nearly a decade ago, new chapters aren’t released very often.

There is currently no release date for any new chapters of Bleach, but there are rumors that a new story arc will be coming out soon. These are unconfirmed leaks and rumors, which should be taken with a pinch of salt. However, the speculation is that a new Bleach story arc, expanding on the previously released Hell Arc chapter, will come out soon.

New Marvel Strike Force codes are released periodically to help keep players engaged and provide them with free cosmetics and in-game resources. The game is an action-RPG that takes familiar turn-based gameplay and fills it with all the Marvel Comics characters you could hope for. Unlike games like Marvel Rivals, there are active codes available for you to redeem in this game. While it is free-to-play, these Marvel Strike Force codes can get you premium characters and abilities without having to spend any of your hard-earned money.

These are all the working Marvel Strike Force codes that we’ve been able to find. We’ll add to this list when new codes are added.

No Marvel Strike Force codes last forever. These codes have been removed from the game, so you will get an error if you try to redeem them.

Black superheroes, anti-heroes, and everyday heroes are some of the most compelling characters in comics these days. From Marvel's Miles Morales to DC's Jo Mullein, classics like Static Shock and Luke Cage, and on to the family of monster hunters in Bitter Root and the Yoruba-inspired fantasy series Iyanu. But there's more... much more. 

These are all Black-led comic book series currently running with no end in sight. While stories like Image Comics' Bloodletter and Marvel's Storm: Earth's Mightiest Mutant have ended (for now?), and Marvel's new Miles Morales: Spider-Man series and the great-looking Vengeance Unchained: The Legend of Black Caesar are yet to be released, the five Black-led comics below are ones you can jump into now — with more on the horizon.

For some, Black-led comics are stories that look and feel like something you could experience. For others, it's about evening out the overwhelmingly white history of comic books. But for all of us, it's great comics from talented and hungry creators who are comics fans just like us, and all are bringing us something intensely new.

When you ask what the Apothecary Diaries release schedule is, it largely depends on which one you’re talking about. The original novel was first published online in 2011, with a print release happening the following year. Since then, there have been light novels, a hit anime, and two different manga adaptations of The Apothecary Diaries. For fans of The Apothecary Diaries manga, our release schedule will hopefully help clear up some confusion.

New Apothecary Diary chapters are released every month. As we mentioned above, there are currently two ongoing mainline Apothecary Diaries manga being published. The first is simply called The Apothecary Diaries and is published in Square Enix’s Monthly Big Gangan magazine. The second is called The Apothecary Diaries: Maomao’s Notes from the Inner Palace and is being serialized in Shogakukan’s Monthly Sunday Gene-X. Both series began in 2017 and are currently ongoing.

Both Apothecary Diaries manga are released on a monthly basis. For The Apothecary Diaries, the most recent chapter is 87, which was released on June 25, 2026. Meanwhile, The Apothecary Diaries: Maomao’s Notes from the Inner Palace Chapter 102 was released on June 19. 2026. Both manga are ongoing and have new chapters released in their respective magazines each month.

Our Frieren release schedule will tell you exactly when the next chapter of the Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End manga will be coming out. The series has already had two stellar anime seasons, and a third is on its way, but it has also had multiple, lengthy hiatuses over the years that make it tough to know exactly what the Frieren release schedule is going to be.

Normally, new Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End chapters come out every week or so, but it has had a sporadic release schedule for the past few years. At least for the start of its serialization, Frieren was released in Weekly Shonen Sunday, a weekly manga magazine published by Shogakukan. 

There is no release date for Frieren 148 at this time. The most recent chapter, Frieren chapter 147, was released on October 14, 2025. At this time, it was announced that the manga would be going on hiatus.

Our Re: Zero release schedule can help you track down new chapters of both the light novel and the manga adaptations. For more than a decade, Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World has been one of the most popular isekai stories out there. The original web novel has spawned multiple adaptations, including a hit anime. The release schedule for Re: Zero can be a bit difficult to follow, so we’ll break it down for you.

There isn’t a set release schedule for new Re: Zero chapters, either in the light novel format or the manga adaptation. Most of the time, new editions are released when they are completed, which can sometimes be weeks, but often extends to months.

There are currently three versions of Re: Zero being published. There is the original web novel by Tappei Nagatsuki, which first started publication on April 20, 2012. The web novel is published for free when new chapters are completed. A light novel version began to be published on January 24, 2014, which is also written by Tappei Nagatsuki and is illustrated by Shinichirou Otsuka. Finally, a manga version began serialization on June 27, 2014. All three are currently ongoing.

With our Blue Box release schedule, you can keep up to date with all the happenings of one of the most popular manga out there. Mixing the high drama of a great sports manga with slice-of-life romance is a winning combination. The manga has been going strong since 2021, so if you’re stuck waiting for the next chapter to come out, our Blue Box release schedule can help.

New Blue Box chapters are published most weeks in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump, alongside new chapters of One Piece and Sakamoto Days. There are occasionally breaks and hiatuses to contend with, but Blue Box has had a fairly consistent release schedule over the years.

The release date for Blue Box 249 is July 5, 2026. New chapters are released most weeks in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump, making it pretty easy to know when new chapters will be released. The most recent chapter was Blue Box 248, which was released on June 28, 2026.

Trust ABC's R.J. Decker to go out on a bang - or, in the case of the show's first season finale on Tuesday, April 28th, 2026, a murder. Seeming big-bad Victor Ochoa's murder, to be precise, setting in motion a new storyline for the crime series' second season. Fans can expect the show to return in fall 2026.

R.J. Decker is a crime drama series set in South Florida about a wrongfully convicted ex-con turned private detective. Inspired by the novel Double Whammy by Carl Hiaasen, R.J. Decker's titular role is played by Scott Speedman. The series also stars Jaina Lee Ortiz as Emilia "Emi" Ochoa, Kevin Rankin as Aloysius "Wish" Aiken, Adelaide Clemens as Catherine Delacroix and Bevin Bru as Melody "Mel" Abreu. Decker's cases range from the unusual to the bizarre, and that's not to mention the fact that he must avoid being sent back to prison.

The first season finale of the show set up what certainly looked like a victory for the long-suffering R.J., with the arrest of Bruce (Stephen Bishop) leading to Victor being put in jail for what looked like a long time... before someone killed him in the closing moments of the episode. Surprised? That's the point, says showrunner Rob Doherty: "It will give us a ton of storytelling runway as we move hopefully into a second season," he said of the shock ending. "We will hide the ball as often as we possibly can. With any mystery we're trying to solve, my hope is always that it's not who you were expecting." 

The first season finale of Boston Blue aired on May 22nd, 2026, leaving fans wondering about the fate of Lena's boyfriend Brian, who was hit by a mystery driver in the final moments of the episode - just hours after Lena herself had survived a near-fatal shooting. How long will everyone have to wait for an answer? Boston Blue has been renewed for Season 2, with new episodes airing in the fall of 2026.

Boston Blue is a police procedural that is a spinoff of Blue Bloods which follows NYPD detective-turned-Boston PD detective Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg). In Boston, Reagan works alongside Boston Police detective Lena Silver (Sonequa Martin-Green). The series also stars Ernie Hudson as Reverend Edwin Peters, Maggie Lawson as Sarah Silver, Gloria Reuben as Mae Silver, Marcus Scribner as Jonah Silver and Mika Amonsen as Sean Reagan. The show features several additional crossover characters from Blue Bloods, including Bridget Moynahan as Erin Reagan, Len Cariou as Henry Reagan and Will Hochman as Detective Joe Hill.

When it comes to resolving the first season cliffhanger, Martin-Green said in an interview, "I got to big up the [visual] effects and the special effects of that scene because my goodness, it just feels so real. You really feel like you’re in that car with him, and it just stabs you in the heart. I applaud the story and the writers and the showrunners and our [post-production] crew, as well as Ryan [Broussard, who plays Brian] for the moment, man. I know that we’re going to get into it, but I don’t know if we’re going to pick right up at that cliffhanger."

The Simpsons finished its record-breaking 37th season back on February 15, 2026, but fans didn't have to worry about that being the end of the show. After all, there was no way that Fox would allow the longest-running primetime scripted show in U.S. history to come to a close without all kinds of bells and whistles, and of course, the show's 38th season has already been confirmed for fall 2026. 

But wait, there’s more! While the fifteen episode broadcast season of The Simpsons Season 37 debuted on Fox this spring, there are three additional episodes that will make their debut on Disney+ this summer. First is a double episode, 'Extreme Makeover: Homer Edition,' which is already available for streaming on Disney+ as of June 17, 2026. Two more episodes will follow: 'Simpsley' on July 3, 2026 and 'Yellow Mirror' on August 26, 2026. You can expect several Disney+ exclusive episodes to accompany Season 38 when it arrives this fall.

The Simpsons stars Dan Castellaneta (Homer Simpson), Julie Kavner (Marge Simpson), Nancy Cartwright (Bart Simpson) and Yeardley Smith (Lisa Simpson), Hank Azaria (Police Chief Clancy Wiggum and many others) and Harry Shearer (Ned Flanders and many others) plus an ensemble cast that includes (but is not limited to) Tress MacNeille, Alex Désert, Kevin Michael Richardson and Dawnn Lewis. The entire voice cast is anticipated to return for Season 38.

The first season of the Scrubs revival ended on April 15th, 2026, setting up the future of the show - including introducing a potential new love interest for J.D. thanks to a cameo appearance from Rachel Bilson - and leaving fans wanting more. That more is on the way, with ABC confirming the show will return in fall 2026.

Scrubs is the story of Doctor John "J.D." Dorian, his best friend Doctor Christopher Turk (Donald Faison) and his friend (and now ex-wife) Doctor Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke). In the first season of the revival, Dr. Dorian returns to Sacred Heart Hospital after some time away, and his former mentor Doctor Perry Cox (John C. McGinley) passes the Chief of Medicine torch off to him. Soon J.D. is dealing with an all new assortment of issues, including mentoring a new batch of medical interns, working alongside his ex-wife and dealing with the trials and tribulations of aging. Characters like the Janitor (Neil Flynn) and Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes) also make guest starring appearances, and new faces like HR Director Sibby Wilson (Vanessa Bayer) have been introduced as well.

Talking about the show's second season, showrunner Aseem Batra told the Hollywood Reporter, "There's a lot we want to do," including continuing storylines surrounding Dr. Cox's health and exploring the relationships between the new interns - oh, and J.D.'s newly complicated friendship with Maintenance Guy (Darcy Michael) and budding relationship with Charlie (Bilson). 

The final episode of Tracker Season 3 aired on May 24th, 2026, ending with a cliffhanger that threatens to reveal a big secret about its central character. No wonder fans have been impatient for the next season to begin - and there's not that long to wait: Tracker Season 4 is set to begin in fall 2026.

Tracker is the story of Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley), a man with a special set of skills who helps authorities and individuals track down elusive quarries in exchange for reward money. The show also features Fiona Rene as Reenie Greene, a lawyer who assists Shaw with relevant legal concerns.

There will be at least one significant change for the series in Season 4: filming will be relocated from Vancouver, British Columbia to Los Angeles, California thanks to a hefty significant tax credit awarded by the California Film Commission. While little is currently known about the plot of the fourth season, you can expect that the story will build on the revelations surrounding Shaw's family that were revealed in Season 3: where did brother Russell (Jensen Ackles) leave for, and what is his secret mission - and, more importantly, what does it have to do with the secret about what Colter's father did to him as a child?

The fourth season of Fire Country debuted its final episode on May 22nd, 2026, bringing the show an unexpected happy ending - well, season ending - after what had started with the tragic death of Billy Burke's Vince. With all of that goodwill, audiences have been wondering whether the series would be returning for a fifth season. Happily, CBS has officially renewed Fire Country for Season 5, and you can expect new episodes to begin arriving in fall 2026.

Fire Country is the flagship series of the Fire Country franchise, which expanded last year to include the also-renewed spinoff Sheriff Country. Starring Max Thieriot as Bode Leone, a former inmate firefighter turned Cal Fire firefighter, Fire Country takes place in Leone's fictional hometown of Edgewater, California, which is (you guessed it) in the titular fire-prone danger zone. Fire Country also stars Kevin Alejandro as firefighter Manuel "Manny" Perez, Jordan Calloway as firefighter Jake Crawford, Jules Latimer as Captain Eve Edwards and Diane Farr as Sharon Leone. And in Fire Country Season 4, a two-part crossover episode with Sheriff Country saw the return of Morena Baccarin as Sheriff Mickey Fox.

Here's a safety tip from Fire Country:

The finale for the first season of Sheriff Country aired on May 22nd, 2026, leaving fans stunned with a big reveal - and wondering when the second season of the show will arrive. Thankfully, Sheriff Country has already been renewed for a second season by CBS, and new episodes of the show will arrive in the fall of 2026.

Sheriff Country is the first spinoff of the Fire Country franchise. Fire Country originally debuted in 2022, and Morena Baccarin's character, Sheriff Mickey Fox, was introduced in the second season. Fire Country and Sheriff Country are closely related, with characters appearing on both shows and a two-part crossover episode during Sheriff Country's first season. Sheriff Country also stars Matt Lauria as Lieutenant Nathan Boone, Christopher Gorham as ADA Travis Fraley, Michele Weaver as Deputy Cassidy Campbell, W. Earl Brown as Mickey's father Wes Fox, Amanda Arcuri as Skye Fraley and Ian Quinlan as Deputy Hank Iglesias.

The second season will pick up from the shock Season 1 finale, which not only killed off Mickey's love interest Alec Kane, but also revealed that FBI Deputy Director Eva Santos (Rachel Ticotin) is actually Mickey's mother Maria Fox, whom she'd believed was dead. "In the first episode of Season 2, we obviously have some stuff to unpack," showrunner Matt Lopez said in an interview post-season finale. "In the first episode of Season 2, the audience will discover how Mickey's understanding of those events differs from what actually happened, and there are some really juicy twists and turns along the way." 

The Amazing Race Season 38 ended on December 10th, 2025, leaving fans impatient for more globetrotting reality TV excitement - and, no, the surprise Hacks crossover episode didn't count. (Well, kind of.) We can now confirm that the reality competition series will be coming back again, as CBS has already renewed The Amazing Race for Season 39, and it's just months away. 

For those unfamiliar with the show, The Amazing Race is a competition reality series that pits teams of two against each another in a globetrotting race to the finish line, competing in tasks and solving puzzles in order to advance to the next leg of the competition. Since its debut in 2001, The Amazing Race has been hosted by Phil Keoghan. The thirty-eighth season saw Jas and Jag Bains taking home the top prize of one million dollars. Filming for Season 38 was completed between September 22nd, 2025 and October 17th, 2026, beginning in Vancouver and visiting locales such as Spain and New Zealand before concluding in Honolulu.

Survivor aired its 50th season finale on May 20th, 2026, and audiences swiftly began questioning whether the show would be returning for Season 51 on CBS. Today, we can confirm that the long-running show will indeed be coming back for another season: CBS has already renewed Survivor, and you can expect Season 51 to debut in the fall of 2026.

In Survivor Season 50, the competitive roster was comprised of 24 returning players. The Sole Survivor of the fiftieth season was Aubry Bracco, who beat out Joe Hunter and Jonathan Young in the final vote to take the prize. For Survivor Season 51, the series will return to a roster of random contestants. During the Season 50 reunion, host Jeff Probst revealed that Season 51 would be the beginning of the "Open Era," which he explained means that any game mechanic that has previously been used on the series is fair game to be used again.

Here's a clip from Survivor Season 50:

The American version of the The Traitors ended its fourth season finale on Peacock back on February 26th, 2026, and fans of the show promptly started asking whether or not the series would be returning quickly. The answer is yes - but the show is actually debuting on an entirely new network before it'll make its return to Peacock.

The American incarnation of The Traitors is based on De Verraders, a Dutch series that has since been adapted internationally with editions in the United Kingdom, Australia, France, Germany, Canada, Spain, and beyond. (There are more than 40 versions of the show around the world.) Like the games Mafia or Werewolf, The Traitors sees a roster of contestants divided into the "Faithful" and a smaller group called the "Traitors." The goal of the "Traitors" is to work together to accomplish their goals without being thwarted by the "Faithful," while the "Faithful" must cooperate to thwart the "Traitors." The American version of the series is filmed at Ardross Castle in Scotland, hosted by Emmy Award-winning actor Alan Cumming, and has traditionally centered around reality stars - but that will change in its next incarnation.

The Traitors US will launch a spin-off edition airing on NBC in fall 2026, which will feature "civilian" contestants, following in the footsteps of other country's versions of the show. (The UK Traitors also has a celebrity-only edition, which is officially called The Celebrity Traitors; its "regular" Traitors series is all-civilian.) This civilian season will otherwise follow the format of previous US seasons, with Alan Cumming as host and filmed a Ardross Castle, and will have a revised title, The Traitors: New Blood.

Some kids hang out at the park. Other kids rob banks.

4 Kids Walk Into a Bank is a coming-of-age heist story written by Matthew Rosenberg and penciled by Tyler Boss. The graphic novel was originally published by Black Mask Studios as a five-issue limited series. It’s got criminals, it’s got tabletop gaming, and it’s got embarrassing adolescent moments. In other words, it’s not like any bank heist story you’ve ever seen before.

Liam Neeson is set to star in a film adaptation of the comic, which means now is the perfect time to read the original story. And so, ahead of the film’s August release, here’s everything you need to know about 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank, its ending, and everything in between.

Give Vision some grace, he’s going through some things.

For years, Vision has fought alongside the Avengers during their greatest battles, but now the android’s artificial life has been turned upside down. When a government agency called Vigilance kidnaps and experiments on Vision, the Avenger becomes an entirely new person, startling his Avengers teammates and his wife, Wanda Maximoff.

Originally published in West Coast Avengers #42-25 (1989), 'Vision Quest' is one of the most consequential stories Marvel published in the '80s. Not only did the Marvel Comics storyline change Vision forever, but it had major status quo changes for Scarlet Witch, the West Coast Avengers, and set the stage for major events like Avengers Disassembled and House of M.

In a surprise announcement on Monday, Fox Corporation has announced that it will acquire streaming giant Roku in a deal worth roughly $22 billion, paying somewhere in the region of $160 per share to take a controlling interest in the company. (Fox will own roughly 73% of the company once the dust settles.) Given the scale of the players, it’s a big deal — but one that might be difficult to understand for most. We’re here to break down what it means for you.

Despite the fact that it doesn’t get a lot of press surrounding this, Roku is a very big deal in terms of U.S. viewing: Roku doesn’t just power its own line of devices that allow televisions to stream content; it also licenses its technology to television manufacturers to allow TVs to become smart televisions. In total, around 100 million households are connected to the internet via Roku, with more than one-third of U.S. televisions using Roku. All in all, an estimated half of U.S. broadband households use the Roku interface in one form or another.

Additionally, Roku operates The Roku Channel, a streaming service that makes up about 3% of streaming viewing in the U.S., per Nielsen; that’s larger than AMC Networks and Hallmark, if you’re curious. (Amazon’s Prime Video is only around 3.8% for context.)

Marvel Rivals codes can be a bit tricky to find. Fans often look to in-game codes to get new skins or currencies, but thus far, developer NetEase hasn’t consistently released codes for the hit team shooter. We’ve gone searching for new Marvel Rivals codes and have found that there aren’t many to be found.

The few Marvel Rivals codes that were released gave fans a handful of new cosmetics, such as the Iron Man Model 42 skin. However, it has been a long time since NetEase has released codes for the hit game. Why? Well, that’s what we’d like to know as well.

As of July 2026, there are no working Marvel Rivals codes available.

FX drama The Bear Season 5 arrives June 25, bringing the Emmy-winning story of family, food, and shared grief to a close. To prepare you for one final televisual meal, we have the release date, cast, trailer and episode titles for The Bear Season 5.

All episodes of The Bear will be released June 25, 2026, on Hulu, Disney+ and on the FX website inside the United States. Internationally, the show will be available on Disney+.

The Bear was revealed to be ending with its fifth season when Jamie Lee Curtis confirmed rumors of its demise in March 2026, even though she believed everyone already knew that. “Unless I’m gonna get a call from all the people saying, ‘You just told [everyone],’ I think everybody understood that it was the last season of the show. If it isn’t, then I’ve completely blown it,” she said at the time. She was perhaps overstating an assumption that everyone understood the show was heading towards its conclusion — certainly when the fifth season was announced in July 2025, it wasn’t announced as a final season — but the show was clearly heading towards resolution for its primary themes with Carmy’s decision to leave and the restaurant’s financial instability.

The shocking Season 8 finale of FBI aired on May 18th, 2026, and it's no surprise that the cliffhanger left fans wondering whether or not the show would be returning for a ninth season. Well, we can happily confirm that it will! CBS has renewed FBI for Season 9, and you can expect to see new episodes of the show beginning in fall 2026.

The next big question fans will have after the FBI Season 8 finale is whether or not OA (Zeeko Zaki) will be returning in Season 9 after being fired at the end of Season 8. The answer is yes, although perhaps in a different capacity than in previous seasons. However, you can expect the implications of the events of the eighth season finale to be important to the show in the season to come.

The series also stars Missy Peregrym as FBI Agent Margaret "Maggie" Bell, Jeremy Sisto as FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, lana de la Garza as Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Isobel Castille, John Boyd as FBI Special Agent Stuart Scola and Juliana Aidén Martinez as FBI Special Agent Eva Ramos.

The Will Trent Season 4 finale aired on May 5th, 2026, leaving fans heartbroken over a shocking death - and wondering what's next after the show jumped ahead in time to set up the next season. They'll find out in early 2027, with ABC bringing Will Trent Season 5 to the screen midseason. 

Will Trent stars Ramón Rodríguez in the titular role, a dyslexic orphan who grows up to become a Georgia Bureau of Investigation Special Agent. A friend from the child care system, Atlanta Police Department Homicide Detective Angie Polaski (Erika Christensen), works alongside Trent and also serves as his intermittent love interest - something complicated significantly by the Season 4 finale. Rounding out the cast is Iantha Richardson as GBI Special Agent Faith Mitchell, Jake McLaughlin as APD Homicide Detective Michael Ormewood and Bluebell as Betty Maria White Trent, Trent's pet Chihuahua. 

The Season 8 finale of The Rookie starring Nathan Fillion aired on May 4th, 2026 and left fans immediately wondering when the show would return to wrap up its dramatic cliffhanger. Thankfully, ABC has already confirmed The Rookie Season 9 is forthcoming, and will debut in early 2027 as part of the network's midseason lineup.

The Rookie stars Fillion as John Nolan, originally the oldest rookie in the LAPD. While he previously worked in construction, a series of life-changing events inspire Nolan to relocate to SoCal and pursue a career in law enforcement. Eventually, Nolan becomes a training officer. The show also stars Melissa O'Neil as Lucy Chen, Alyssa Diaz as Angela Lopez, Eric Winter as Timothy "Tim" Bradford, Richard T. Jones as Wade Grey, Mekia Cox as Nyla Harper, Shawn Ashmore as Wesley Evers, Jenna Dewan as Bailey Nune, Lisseth Chavez as Celina Juarez and Deric Augustine as Miles Penn. The full cast is expected to return for the next season.

If you're wondering how The Odyssey ends before Christopher Nolan's adaptation, here's a complete breakdown of the ending of The Odyssey, including the fates of Odysseus, Penelope, Telemachus, and the city of Ithaca. Homer's epic 8th Century BC poem describes Odysseus’s 10-year journey home after the Trojan War, laying the groundwork for much of contemporary culture in the process. This summer, it will become Christopher Nolan’s next big movie. Before that, here’s everything you need to know about The Odyssey.

After 20 years away, Odysseus returns to Ithaca. He disguises himself as a beggar and reunites with his son Telemachus. Odysseus kills all 108 of Penelope’s suitors before revealing himself to his long-lost wife. Penelope is skeptical, but once Odysseus recalls how he built their bed around a tree trunk, she realizes that it’s actually her husband.

The families of the slain suitors attack Odysseus, but Athena stops the fight and restores peace. The Odyssey ends with Odysseus and Penelope living in peace as king and queen of Ithaca once more.

The Season 1 finale of Best Medicine aired on Fox on April 7th, 2026 with multiple cliffhangers, leaving viewers wondering whether the show would be returning for a sophomore season. The answer is, thankfully, yes: Best Medicine Season 2 has been confirmed by Fox, and will arrive in the fall of 2026.

Best Medicine is a medical dramedy starring Josh Charles as Dr. Martin Best, a heart surgeon who is notable for his lack of bedside manner and his hemophobia. (That's a fear of blood, for those wondering.) The series is based on the popular British series Doc Martin, which ran from 2004 through 2022. In addition to Charles, Best Medicine also stars Abigail Spencer as Louisa Gavin, Josh Segarra as Sheriff Mark Mylow Cree as Elaine Denton and Annie Potts as Aunt Sarah. All are expected to return for the show's second season, which will also resolve the question of what happens to Martin now that the medical board knows about his fear of blood. His love triangle cliffhanger with Louisa and Eden? That one might continue for awhile, but that's why audiences keep tuning in.

There's even more good news for fans of the show, as Fox upped the episode count for the show's second season from 12 to 14, in what could only be considered a vote of confidence from the network. (One well-earned: the first season was the only scripted show to grow in audience from its first to second episode in the 2025-2026 broadcast year.) 

The fifth season finale of Abbott Elementary debuted on April 22nd, 2026, leaving fans wondering how long they'd have to wait until they could return to Philly's favorite school. We are happy to confirm that Abbott Elementary Season 6 is indeed on the schedule, with ABC having already confirmed the show will return for another season, which will arrive in fall 2026.

Abbott Elementary follows the lives of the teachers at a ficitonal public elementary school in West Philadelphia. The show stars creator Quinta Brunson as second grade teacher Janine Teagues. The show also stars Tyler James Williams as Gregory Eddie, Janelle James as Ava Coleman, Lisa Ann Walter as Melissa Schemmenti, Chris Perfetti as Jacob Hill, Sheryl Lee Ralph as Barbara Howard and William Stanford Davis as Mr. Johnson the custodian. The entire cast is expected to return for the sixth season.

The finale of 9-1-1: Nashville's first season ended with a surprise on May 7th, 2026, leaving fans of the franchise to immediately wonder if the show would return for a second season, and when they would see what happened in the aftermath of Blythe's beatdown of Dixie. We can happily confirm that ABC has renewed 9-1-1: Nashville for Season 2, and it's set to begin fall 2026.

9-1-1: Nashville was created by Ryan Murphy, Tim Minear and Rashad Raisani. It is the second spinoff of the 9-1-1 franchise, after 9-1-1: Lone Star, which concluded after five seasons in 2025. 9-1-1: Nashville follows the personal and professional lives of first responders at Nashville Fire Department Station 113. The show stars Chris O'Donnell as Captain Donald "Don" Hart, Jessica Capshaw as Blythe Hart, Kimberly Williams-Paisley as 9-1-1 dispatcher Cammie Raleigh, LeAnn Rimes as singer Dixie Bennings, Michael Provost as firefighter Ryan Hart, Juani Feliz as firefighter Roxie Alba, Hailey Kilgore as firefighter Taylor Thompson and Hunter McVey as firefighter Blue Bennings. The second season will add Ryan Phillippe to the cast in an as-of-yet undisclosed role.

The final episode of 9-1-1 Season 9 was broadcast on May 7th, 2026 and fans immediately began wondering whether or not the show would be returning for a tenth season. Happily, ABC has indeed renewed the show! 9-1-1 Season 10 will arrive in fall 2026.

9-1-1 was created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear, and follows the stories of first responders in Los Angeles. The show stars Angela Bassett as LAPD detective Athena Grant, Oliver Stark as firefighter Evan "Buck" Buckley, Jennifer Love Hewitt as 9-1-1 dispatcher Maddie Buckley, Ryan Guzman as firefighter and paramedic Edmundo "Eddie" Díaz, Aisha Hinds as firefighter and paramedic Henrietta "Hen" Wilson, Kenneth Choi as LAFD Captain Howard "Chimney" Han, Corinne Massiah as May Grant, Elijah M. Cooper as Harry Grant and Gavin McHugh as Christopher "Chris" Díaz. All are expected to return for the 10th season of the show.

According to showrunner Minear, Season 10 of the series will focus on Buck fostering Theo - who is actually his biological son, although he'd wanted nothing to do with him - after his parents' death in a car crash, while Athena's daughter May (Corrine Massiah) starts training to become a nurse. 

The finale of Doc Season 2 aired on April 14th, 2026 on Fox, and no sooner had the credits rolled than were audiences asking whether or not the show would be returning for a third season. Fortunately, we can confirm that Doc Season 3 is on its way! The third season has already been ordered by Fox, and will begin in fall 2026.

Doc is the story of Doctor Amy Larsen (Molly Parker), who was the Chief of Internal Medicine at the fictional Westside Hospital in Minneapolis... until she was involved in a car accident that causes her to forget the previous eight years of her life. Discovering that during that interval she had been subjected to a tragedy and also divorced, Larsen is left to rebuild her life and career. The show is based on the Italian series Doc – Nelle tue mani, which is itself based on the real-life story of Dr. Pierdante Piccioni. 

The show's third season will see some changes from previous years. For one thing, cast members Felicity Huffman and Charlotte Fountain-Jardim will no longer be series regulars, which fans might have anticipated; for one thing, Huffman's character died in the second season finale episode, while Fountain-Jardim's character Katie is leaving to go to college, according to executive producer and co-showrunner Hank Steinberg. (She is expected to guest star, however.) Additionally, the show is adding Blair Underwood as trauma surgeon Dr. Ben Grant, a new character who has a history with Amy... that she doesn't remember. The third season is also expected to take place after a time jump that will move characters on emotionally from where audiences last saw them. 

The final episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Season 27 aired on May 14th, 2026, bringing a child predator to justice and guaranteeing Captain Benson would stay in her position moving forward - but what kind of future can fans expect? NBC has already confirmed another season of Law & Order: SVU back in April 2026, and the new season will begin in Fall 2026.

Law & Order: SVU, created by Dick Wolf, is the longest continuously-running primetime drama series in American television history. (Law & Order, which SVU is a spin-off from, started nine years earlier, but went on hiatus for 11 years.) The show follows the detectives who make up the Special Victims Unit, which focuses on investigating and prosecuting sex-based crimes. SVU was the first spin-off of Law & Order, which has subsequently expanded to seven shows and a television film, along with five video games and five international adaptations.

The next season of SVU will see the return of Mariska Hargitay as Olivia Benson. Also expected to return are Ice-T as Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola and Peter Scanavino as Dominick 'Sonny' Carisi, Jr.

The first season finale of CIA aired on May 18th, 2026, and audiences immediately found themselves questioning whether they could expect another season of the spin-off series from CBS's FBI franchise. We are here to inform you that you can indeed! CIA Season 2 has been officially announced by CBS, and will begin in fall 2026.

CIA was created by Dick Wolf and David Hudgins, and is the sixth spinoff of the FBI franchise, which also includes FBI and FBI: Most Wanted. The show follows a loose cannon CIA case officer, Colin Glass (Tom Ellis), who is teamed with a more uptight FBI agent, William "Bill" Randall Goodman (Nick Gehlfuss) to investigate domestic terrorist threats. The cast of characters also includes CIA analyst Gina Gosian (Natalee Linez) and Deputy Chief Nikki Reynard (Necar Zadegan).

The initial 12-episode season ended with Glass and Goodman finding a new dynamic where the two had almost swapped places in terms of calmness. “How can we totally go against what we both look like just independently, but also what can we create as far as relationships for undercover stories?” Nick Gehlfuss teased when asked by TV Insider what to expect in the show’s second season. Tom Ellis joked in response, “I definitely can see a Pretty Woman montage happening at some point of Colin taking Bill out to get out of those suits and get into something a bit more appropriate.”

As He-Man, Skeletor and friends and foes bring the battle for the Power of Grayskull back to the big screen with Amazon MGM Studios Masters of the Universe (in theaters June 5), fans new and old will want to go back and look at what’s come before. Here’s a guide on how to watch all of the He-Man, Masters of the Universe, and even She-Ra movies and television shows to this point — in release and chronological order.

He-Man, She-Ra, and the Masters of the Universe have had a variety of movies and television shows since 1983. There is the original 1983 series, the 1987 live-action movie, a variety of spinoffs, reboots, and more. All of this leads up to the 2026 reboot from Amazon MGM Studios. To watch all the He-Man and She-Ra projects in release order, simply follow this list.

There are a ton of He-Man television shows and movies, but they don't all share the same continuity. There is a 'core' canon established by the original 1980s animated series and spin-offs, and then multiple reboots and branching timelines. Here's how to keep track of the multiverse of Masters of the Universe. 

The Ichi the Witch release schedule is surprisingly rapid, especially considering how intense some of the action scenes are in the series. Navigating a strange world full of monsters and magic can be tough enough, but Ichi has to deal with the added pressure that he is the only male witch in the world and that he is apparently destined to die destroying the most powerful monster in the world. There is a lot to keep up with in this popular manga, but our Ichi the Witch release schedule is ready to help.

As it is published in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, new chapters of Ichi the Witch typically come out every week. As with many popular Jump manga, it gets a fresh English translation almost immediately after the Japanese release. That means that you can keep up to date with new Ichi the Witch chapters through the official release.

The release date for Ichi the Witch 89 is July 5, 2026, according to the Shonen Jump app. The most recent chapter of Ichi the Witch was Chapter 88, which was released on June 28, 2026. However, there is always the potential for delays with manga releases, so it is worth checking if the new chapter has been delayed if you can’t find it.

Love makes us all do strange things. For Taro Sakamoto, it made him leave behind a successful career as a legendary hitman to run a convenience store. As he builds a new life for his wife and daughter, he has to deal with the increasingly bizarre collection of former enemies and allies from his old life. The Sakamoto Days manga has a pretty consistent release schedule if you’re looking for a unique mixture of frantic action and comedy.

Sakamoto Days is published in Weekly Shonen Jump, which, as the name implies, releases new chapters on a weekly basis. While there are occasional missed chapters and hiatuses that happen, the Sakamoto Days release schedule has always been consistent among other Shonen Jump titles.

The next chapter will be Sakamoto Days 266 on July 5, 2026. With new chapters of Sakamoto Days coming out every week, it is usually pretty easy to know when the next chapter will be released. Sakamoto Days chapter 264 was released on June 28, 2026. 

It doesn’t matter how far across the galaxy you travel. You’ll never escape your grief.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is a comic about grief, revenge, sisterhood, and forgiveness. The eight issue limited series, written by Tom King and penciled by Bilquis Evely, follows Supergirl across the galaxy as she helps a young girl named Ruthye hunt for the space pirate who kills her father. Along the way, the two women visit strange worlds, meet exotic aliens, and learn a few things about grief, vengeance, and letting go.

The 2021 comic book was nominated for Eisner Award for Best Limited Series. It also serves as the basis for the 2026 DC Studios film, which is directed by Craig Gillespie and stars Milly Alcock as Supergirl. If you’re curious about the comic book that inspired the upcoming film, or want to make sense of its ending, Popverse has you covered. Here’s everything you need to know about Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

When you’re the strongest hero, very little can seem like an actual challenge. As the title implies, One-Punch Man follows the adventures of a hero who can defeat almost any foe with a single punch. The One-Punch Man manga follows a loose release schedule, with new chapters coming out as and when they are ready, but with stellar artwork and an incredibly fun setting, it is always worth knowing when new chapters are on their way.

There is no set schedule for when new One-Punch Man chapters come out. Because of the unusual process of adapting the original webcomic to manga and the high production values of the series, One-Punch Man chapters are published when they are ready. One, the creator of One-Punch Man, and Yusuke Murata, the artist of the manga adaptation, move at their own pace.

According to the Shonen Jump App, there is no set date for One-Punch Man chapter 234 but we will keep checking and update our guide as soon as one is confirmed. As we stated above, there is no set release schedule for One-Punch Man. The most recent chapter, One-Punch Man 233, was released on June 11, 2026. 

The finale of Ghosts Season 5 airs May 21st, 2026, leaving audiences bereft of the inhabitants (alive and dead) of Woodstone Mansion. Good news, though: we're happy to assure you that Ghosts will be returning! Ghosts Season 6 has already been confirmed by CBS, and is expected to arrive in early 2027 as a midseason debut... and there will be even more Ghosts ahead of that, too.

Ghosts is an American sitcom adapted from the British series of the same name. It follows Samantha "Sam" Arondekar (Rose McIver) and her husband Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar), who move into the Woodstone Estate in upstate New York, only to discover it is populated by a ensemble cast of ghosts. These include Thorfinn (Devan Chandler Long), a Viking from Norway; Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), a Lenape hunter; Captain Isaac Higgintoot (Brandon Scott Jones), a closeted gay Continental Army office; Henrietta "Hetty" Woodstone (Rebecca Wisocky), the original owner of the mansion; Alberta Haynes (Danielle Pinnock), a Prohibition-era lounge singer; Susan "Flower" Montero (Sheila Carrasco), a hippie; Peter "Pete" Martino (Richie Moriarty), a Pinecone Troopers troop leader; and Trevor Lefkowitz (Asher Grodman), a womanizing stock broker. The entire cast is expected to return for the sixth season of the show.

The final episode of High Potential Season 2 aired on April 7th, 2026, and the cliffhanger ending left fans asking whether or not the show would be returning for a third season. We can confirm that the series will be returning for Season 3, but audiences are going to have quite a wait ahead of them: the show won't return before early 2027.

High Potential follows cleaning woman Morgan Gillory (Kaitlin Olson), whose high potential intelligence lands her a gig as a consultant for the LAPD. With her partner, LAPD detective Adam Karadec (Daniel Sunjata), Morgan solves mysteries under the watch the head of their unit, Selena Soto (Judy Reyes). The third season will focus on the fallout from the second season finale's cliffhanger, including the fate of Captain Nick Wagner (Steve Howey) after his shooting, as well as the possible return of Morgan's ex, Roman Sinquerra.

While the primary cast is expected to return for the show's third season, we have some bad news for fans of Captain Wagner: Steve Howey is not returning as a series regular, although it's possible that he may return as a guest-star according to reports. Also not returning for the third season will be showrunner Todd Harthan, who has departed the series. No replacement has been announced for the third season.

Marshals Season 1 ended its run on CBS on May 24th, 2026, leaving fans of the instant-hit series asking whether it will be returning for a second season. We're here to tell you, yes! Marshals Season 2 has already been announced by CBS, and it will debut in the fall of 2026.

Marshals follows the story of Luke Grimes (Kayce Dutton), a former U.S. Navy SEAL turned rancher, who becomes part of a group of U.S. Marshals who are tasked with protecting Montana. The show is a spin-off and sequel to Yellowstone, and the fourth show overall in the expanded Yellowstone franchise, following Yellowstone, 1883 and 1923. (The franchise has continued to grow; Marshals was itself followed by Dutton Ranch Season 1.) 

In addition to Dutton, the cast includes Logan Marshall-Green as Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Pete "Cal" Calvin, Arielle Kebbel as Deputy U.S. Marshal Isabel "Belle" Skinner-Turek, Ash Santos as Deputy U.S. Marshal Andrea Cruz, Tatanka Means as Deputy U.S. Marshal Miles Kittle, Brecken Merrill as Tate Dutton, Mo Brings Plenty as Mo and Gil Birmingham as Thomas Rainwater. All of the show's core cast are expected to return in season 2.

The final episode of Grey's Anatomy Season 22 aired on May 7th, 2026, leaving devoted viewers questioning whether or not the long-running, record-breaking series will be returning for another year. Fortunately, the answer to that question is a resounding "yes"! Grey's Anatomy Season 23 has already been confirmed by ABC and will begin airing in the fall of 2026 - but not all the fan-favorite cast will be returning.

Grey's Anatomy is the story of the medical staff at the fictional Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital in Seattle, Washington. The show, created by Shonda Rhimes, is the longest running scripted primetime series currently airing, and the longest running medical drama, in American television history. 

Grey's Anatomy has had some cast members come and go over the years. When the show returns for its twenty-third season, the cast will no longer include Kevin McKidd (Owen Hunt) and Kim Raver (Teddy Altman), both of whom departed the series in the Season 22 finale. However, you can expect the return of Ellen Pompeo (Meredith Grey), Chandra Wilson (Miranda Bailey) and James Pickens Jr (Richard Webber).

The Kill Blue release schedule is the best way to keep up with one of the most popular anime this season. With anime on YouTube making a surprising come back as the platform has multiple new shows airing (for free!) on it. New episodes air every week and our Kill Blue release schedule will help you find exactly where and when to watch them.

(Updated July 3, 2026.)

During the Spring 2026 anime season, new Kill Blue episodes were released on a weekly basis. The first episode came out on Saturday, April 11, 2026, with new episodes following every Saturday after that. Since the first season has already ended, no new episodes are currently airing.

The season finale of NCIS: Sydney Season 3 aired on May 12th, 2026, leading devotees of the franchise to question whether the show would be renewed for another season and if there would be a speedy resolution to Mackey's romantic woes. We can answer yes to the first question - CBS has indeed ordered NCIS: Sydney Season 4. But it's not arriving until early 2027.

NCIS: Sydney is an installment in the long-running NCIS franchise. The first NCIS spinoff to take place outside of the United States, NCIS: Sydney is an Australian military police procedural that follows a task force comprised of NCIS and Australian Federal Police officers. The upcoming fourth season is expected to see the return of NCIS Supervisory Special Agent Michelle Mackey (Olivia Swann), AFP Sergeant Jim "JD" Dempsey (Todd Lasance), NCIS Special Agent DeShawn Jackson (Sean Sagar), AFP Liaison Officer Constable Evie Cooper (Tuuli Narkle), AFP forensic scientist Bluebird "Blue" Gleeson (Mavournee Hazel) and AFP forensic pathologist Roy "Rosie" Penrose (William McInnes).

The season finale of NCIS: Origins Season 2 aired on May 5th, 2026, leaving wondering whether or not the show might be returning for a third season to explain the cliffhanger ending. We are happy to answer that question: Yes, it absolutely will! NCIS: Origins Season 3 has been officially announced by CBS, and will begin airing in fall 2026.

NCIS: Origins is set in the 1990s and follows the story of a younger version of Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Austin Stowell) as he works under Mike Franks (Kyle Schmid) at Camp Pendleton. The cast also includes Mariel Molino as Lala Dominguez, Tyla Abercrumbie as Mary Jo Hayes, Diany Rodriguez as Vera Strickland and Caleb Foote as Randy, with the core cast expected to return in Season 3.

The final episode of Season 2 ended not only with a first kiss between Gibbs and Lala (Mariel Molino), but also with the kidnapping of Randy by forces unknown. Audiences should expect to find out just who was behind that when the show returns, but they should expect some changes, too: While the second season consisted of 18 episodes, NCIS: Origins Season 3 will be comprised of ten episodes. And that isn't the only change in store: former co-show runner Gina Lucita Monreal is departing the series, while David J. North will continue on.

The final episode of NCIS Season 23 aired on May 12th, 2026 and ended with a cliffhanger shooting — leading fans of the long-running show to immediately ask, "Will the show be returning in the fall?" We can answer that question with an unequivocal "yes"! NCIS Season 24 has already been confirmed by CBS and will begin airing in fall 2026.

(Updated June 2026)

As announced during the CBS upfronts in May, NCIS will continue to air on Tuesday nights throughout the 2026-2027 season, paired with NCIS: Origins and new series NCIS: New York. CBS has not yet announced a definitive release date for NCIS Season 24, but should the show continue the release schedule of the past two years, fans can expect to see NCIS Season 24 debut in mid-October 2026.

As fans of Akane-banashi know, there is no right or wrong reason to choose a career in the performing arts. You can do it for the love of the craft, because you see it as a way to make money, or, in the case of the Akane-banashi anime, out of spite. To avenge the disgrace of her father, Akane enters the traditional Japanese storytelling form of rakugo. The Akane-banashi anime is out now, and its release schedule is a little different from most anime this season.

(Updated July 3, 2026)

Akane-banashi Season 1 began on April 4, 2026, with weekly episodes airing after that through the Spring 2026 Anime Season. As the first season has already ended, there aren't any new episodes scheduled to air until season 2 begins in 2027.

When you’re looking for love, it is always expected that you’ll make a few mistakes along the way. In Marriagetoxin, Hikaru Gero is desperately trying to find the love of his life while also dealing with his lack of social graces. Oh, and the fact that he is an assassin specializing in the use of poison. The Marriagetoxin anime debuted in April 2026 and mixes action with a unique cocktail of romantic comedy antics on Crunchyroll. If you’re looking forward to the next episode of Marriagetoxin, we’ve got you covered.

(Updated July 3, 2026)

Marriagetoxin is one of the biggest shows of the Spring 2026 anime season. The first episode aired on April 7, 2026 in Japan, with new episodes coming out every week until the end of the season, which is usually in early July. As the first season of MarriageToxin has ended, new episodes no longer air on a weekly basis.

The last episode of Chicago Med Season 11 aired on May 13th, 2026, and One Chicago fans are already asking whether the show has been renewed for a twelfth season. We are happy to share the news that, yes, it has"! Chicago Med Season 12 has already been announced by NBC and is expected to begin airing in fall 2026.

Chicago Med is the story of the emergency room medical personnel of the Gaffney Chicago Medical Center. The care providers not only deal with medical emergencies, but also the personal toll the demands of their careers take on them. Chicago Med is part of the Chicago franchise, also known as "One Chicago," which also includes Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. (You can find out more about the One Chicago shows right here.) While the ensemble rotating cast is no stranger to roster updates, you can expect the return of Dr. Daniel Charles (Oliver Platt) and Sharon Goodwin (S. Epatha Merkerson) in the upcoming season.

The season finale of Chicago PD Season 13 aired on May 13th, 2026 and Chicago One devotees are already asking whether or not the show will be returning for a fourteenth season this fall. Fortunately, that question can be answered in the affirmative! Chicago PD Season 14 has already been announced by NBC and is expected to begin airing in fall 2026.

Chicago PD is the story of the law enforcement officers of the fictional 21st district, including the elite Intelligence Unit, who are led by Sergeant Henry "Hank" Voight (Jason Beghe). Chicago PD is one of the shows in the Chicago franchise, also called "One Chicago," alongside Chicago Fire and Chicago Med. (You can find out more about the One Chicago shows right here.) Voight was originally introduced in Chicago Fire as a crooked cop, but he was later released from prison and reinstated, leading to tensions with other members of the force. The series also stars Patrick John Flueger as Officer Adam Ruzek, Marina Squerciati as Detective Kim Burgess and LaRoyce Hawkins as Officer Kevin Atwater.

The last episode of Chicago Fire Season 14 debuted on May 13th, 2026, and viewers are already wondering whether or not the show will be returning for another season. Fortunately, that answer is a resounding "yes"! Chicago Fire Season 15 has already been confirmed by NBC and is expected to begin airing in Fall 2026. 

Chicago Fire follows the exploits of the Chicago Fire Department firefighters, paramedics and other first responders at the fictional Firehouse 51. While the ensemble cast is subject to many comings and goings, major characters include Lieutenant Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney), Senior Firefighter Christopher Herrmann (David Eigenberg) and Firefighter Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo). The series, which was created by Derek Haas and Michael Brandt, is the first entry in the Chicago franchise, also called 'One Chicago,' which also includes fellow NBC shows Chicago PD and Chicago Med. (You can find out more about the One Chicago shows right here.)

The fact that Hunter x Hunter fans are still desperate for new chapters even with the series on an ongoing hiatus is largely a testament to how great the manga really is. With Yoshihiro Togashi still battling various ailments that prevent him from drawing, the Hunter x Hunter release schedule has become glacial over the past several years. However, hope is on the horizon as we wait for new Hunter x Hunter chapters to finally start coming out again.

There was a time when Hunter x Hunter came out on a weekly schedule, but creator Yoshihiro Togashi had to take repeated breaks over the years due to his declining health. Those breaks got longer and more frequent. Now, we don’t have a set Hunter x Hunter release schedule for the manga; new chapters are released when they are ready.

The next chapter to be released will be Hunter x Hunter 412, which is due out on July 5, 2026. After nearly two years of waiting, Hunter x Hunter 411 was released on June 28, 2026. We don't know how long the current serialization will last, but we do know that the Hunter x Hunter creator Yoshihiro Togashi has several more chapters ready for publication.

Every shonen anime lives or dies not just on how powerful its main character is but in how good its wider cast is, and few manga have had a bigger and more colorful cast than Fairy Tail. The story of the rowdiest magical guild in the world is filled with memorable characters, both heroes and villains, and it has become so iconic that it seems like Fairy Tail is never going to leave the pages of Shonen Jump. While the anime reached the end of the story back in 2019, a new Fairy Tail manga release date has just been announced for 2026.

While the main Fairy Tail manga ended back in 2017, it only briefly stopped being serialized by publisher Kodansha. By 2018, a sequel manga, titled Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest, had begun. That series continues to be published today, with new chapters coming out every two weeks on average. New Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest chapters come out every other Tuesday in the US.

The next chapter of Fairy Tail will be Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest 215, which is out on July 7, 2026. The most recent chapter, Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest 214, came out on June 23, 2026 in the US. Because the manga has a bi-weekly release schedule, we expect the next chapter to come out two weeks later.

Want to know how to watch Supergirl movies and TV shows in order? Ahead of Milly Alcock’s big-screen Supergirl this summer, here’s how to watch every Supergirl project in both release and chronological order from Helen Slater’s 1984 movie to Melissa Benoist’s Arrowverse series and, yes, even the current DCU era.

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a heroine that never backs down. If you think Supergirl is just a female version of Superman, then you don’t know Kara Zor-El. Some versions of the character are filled with hope and a sense of wonder, while other versions are wounded by their trauma, and not afraid to use a few villains as punching bags to work through their issues.

Supergirl has had quite an impressive television and film career. Helen Slater played the first live action version of the character in the 1984 film Supergirl. Melissa Benoist played Supergirl for 6 seasons on her own show, giving her the most screen time of any Supergirl actress to date. Sasha Calle played an alternate timeline version of the character in The Flash before Milly Alcock took over the role in James Gunn’s Superman.

In the long, ever-evolving history of Spider-Man, few eras have lived up to their name quite like 'Brand New Day.' Launched in 2008, the storyline marked a deliberate reset for Peter Parker; a return to the core ingredients that defined the character for decades, filtered through a modern lens and a fast-paced publishing schedule. With a rotating team of writers including Dan Slott, Marc Guggenheim, Zeb Wells, and Bob Gale, and artists like Steve McNiven, Salvador Larroca, and Phil Jimenez, Marvel set out to rebuild Spider-Man’s world from the ground up, one issue at a time.

The result was a back-to-basics Spidey: juggling money problems and navigating a New York City filled with both familiar faces and brand-new threats. But Brand New Day wasn’t just about revisiting old ground... it also introduced major additions to Spider-Man lore, from the rise of Mister Negative to new heroes like Jackpot, while reshuffling the supporting cast in ways that would ripple through the comics for years.

Now, with Marvel Studios naming its next Tom Holland film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, interest in the storyline has surged all over again. What exactly happens in this era of comics? Why did it redefine Spider-Man for a generation of readers? And what elements could make the leap from page to screen?

Ahead of the release of the Marvel Studios film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Marvel Comics is relaunching the Brand New Day era in Spidey comics, from which the film gets its name. Written by Dan Slott, with art by Marcus To and Marcos Martin, and covers by Phil Jimenez, The Spectacular Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set within Marvel comics continuity but back during the Brand New Day era that was originally published in Spider-Man comics in 2008 through 2010. 

The Brand New Day era for Spidey originally took place after the events of the 'One More Day' storyline, where Peter and Mary Jane Watson's marriage was erased by Mephisto in order to save Aunt May's life (oh, comics!). From the ashes of "One More Day" came Brand New Day, a fresh start for the newly single Peter Parker. 

Now, this new Brand New Day series will build off of the existing one hundred-plus issues of the original series. “Spider-Man is my favorite character in all of fiction. Heart on my sleeve here—I love writing Spider-Man,” said Dan Slott to Marvel. “We're going to reveal hidden secrets and plant explosive seeds that will pay off and affect what's happening in Spider-Man's world today! These will be stories that matter and that will have major consequences!"

In case you're just tuning in, it's Spider-Man week here at Popverse, and I won't lie - I was a little nervous when my bosses told me we were doing a spotlight on the wall-crawler. Why? Well to be honest, I usually find myself gravitating a bit more toward ol' Petey Parker's rogues galleries more than I do the Spider-Family. Fortunately, for me, though, there's a great deal of satisfying overlap.

Perhaps more than any other comic book character, Spider-Man's shoes have been (surprisingly) filled by the very villains that are usually causing him problems. And since it's those nasty flies in the spider's web that I'm slightly more interested in, I thought I might break down (and rank!) my favorite instances of just that happening. So settle into your inky alien suit or onto your smoke-billowing gliders and enjoy Popverse's (definitely not definitive) list of the times a Spider-Villain took over for Spider-Man.

If you grew up with Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man as I did, there were few more frightening comic book villains than the Green Goblin, AKA Willem Dafoe’s brilliant Norman Osborn. So seeing his comic book inspiration put on the mask and web-shooters was… odd, to say the least. To be fair, the lead-up to Norman’s donning the mask in The Amazing Spider-Man #11 did take us through a redemption arc, but in my personal opinion, it didn’t do enough to convince us that the man who murdered Gwen Stacy would feel loyal enough to Peter Parker to protect his legacy. After all, even when the “Goblin” side of his persona wasn’t in control, wasn’t Norman still a ruthless industrialist/abusive father all the while? That said, I don’t hate the slight tweak Norman gave the typical Spider-Suit, and wouldn’t mind seeing that again.

Growing up isn’t easy, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. Nate Wright is 11 years old, four-and-a-half-feet tall, and he’s trying to survive middle school one day at a time. From pranks, detentions, and school crushes, Big Nate is a story about the middle school experience through the eyes of a good-natured troublemaker.

Created by cartoonist Lincon Peirce, Big Nate began as a syndicated comic strip in 1991, but the character found a new home when he entered the young reader market. Peirce’s original Big Nate novels became young reader favorites, and the comic strip collections are bestsellers at school book fairs around the world.

If you’re looking to dive into Big Nate’s school adventures but aren’t sure where to start, Popverse has you covered. This guide will tell you everything you need to know about reading the preteen troublemaker.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Avengers fight invaders from other worlds, the Guardians of the Galaxy fight space mercenaries, but it’s the Punisher who fights everyday criminals on the streets of New York City - and he plays for keeps. Thanks to a recent appearance in Daredevil: Born Again, his upcoming Disney+ special, and a guest appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Frank Castle is more popular than ever. If you’re looking to get up to speed on the MCU’s Punisher, this guide breaks down his timeline, the best watch order, and essential episodes.

Watching the MCU Punisher in release order is relatively simple. Jon Bernthal made his debut as Frank Castle in Daredevil season 2 before getting his own series. The Punisher lasted for 2 seasons before getting cancelled, then the character reappeared in Daredevil: Born Again season 1. (Punisher did not appear in Born Again season 2, despite fan expectation.) The character will next appear in a Disney+ special titled The Punisher: One Last Kill before making a guest appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day later this year. Not a bad comeback for someone who was cancelled in 2019.

While the Marvel Cinematic Universe sometimes skips around the timeline, there is no difference between Punisher’s release order and chronological order. While some episodes have flashbacks, those are told with a present day framing device. In short, Frank’s MCU story has largely been told in linear order. Keep in mind, we might get more context on One Last Kill’s place in the timeline after it is released, but some rumors say it takes place after Daredevil: Born Again, which matches the release order.

After a nerve-wracking eight episodes, Daredevil: Born Again season 2 officially wrapped May 5 2026, bringing the story that began with Daredevil: Born Again season 1 to a (not necessarily final) close, and taking a rivalry that began all the way back in April of 2015 to another interregnum period. But how exactly did it all go down? How did the tale of Mayor Wilson Fisk and his fascist Anti-Vigilante Task Force end, and what does it mean for our heroes Matt Murdock, Karen Page, and the rest of the good people of NYC?

Allow us to take you through those answers.

Major spoilers for Daredevil: Born Again season 2 follow. 

In 1986, DC Comics published The Dark Knight Returns, a comic that changed everything. The 4 issue limited series featured a mature story starring a darker, grittier, and older Batman, trying to find his way in the world after returning from retirement. The comic, which featured story and art by Frank Miller and inks from Klaus Janson, revolutionized the comic book industry, demonstrating that the medium was capable of telling deep and provocative stories.

The Dark Knight Returns also showed the public that Batman, and comic book superheroes in general, were capable of more than kid-centric action tales. The Dark Knight Returns changed the way readers and creators approach Batman, and in many ways, it has affected every story told about the Dark Knight since.

Simply put, if there’s one Batman story you need to read, The Dark Knight Returns is the one. The success of the limited series and the huge sales the graphic novel collection garnered resulted in Frank Miller writing sequels, prequels, and spinoffs. If you’re looking to enjoy Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns saga in release and chronological order, simply read on and let Popverse be your guide…

No Spider-Man is a Spider-Island.

References to a silly 2011 Marvel Comics storyline aside, there really have been a number of great characters who have made Peter Parker what he is today. Even the most casual fans know about his romantic entanglements, but the ongoing Spider-Story that began in 1962 has involved a whole mess of high school bullies, supportive coworkers, and friends-to-enemies-and-back-again that have made his comics worth reading.

As you probably already know, we're celebrating the wall-crawler with a little Spotlight on Spider-Man this week, and we couldn't think of a better time to highlight the standouts from the masses I mentioned above. Presented for your enrichment, here are the best Spider-Man supporting characters, ranked.

Just like J. Jonah Jameson himself, you're probably here because you want to see pictures of Spider-Man printed onto Magic: The Gathering cards. Now, to get a look at the most expensive Magic: The Gathering cards, I looked on TCGPlayer to find each card's market price. And of course, all of the prices listed here are the market price of the cards at the time of writing. So they are subject to change at any moment from here on out. 

Without much further ado, here are the most expensive Magic: The Gathering x Marvel's Spider-Man cards. 

The next four cards will have you seeing double quadruple. As part of the set, there are several variants of the Spectacular Spider-Man (the borderless, textured foil version) card, each featuring a different suit worn by Spider-Man. The fifth most expensive card on this list features Spidey's Stealth Suit and will set you back $319.18 on TCGPlayer at this time of writing. 

To expand on a quote from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: Anyone can wear the mask, and almost anyone else can use the name.

The moniker of Spider-Man has bounced all around the worlds contained in the universe of Marvel Comics, sometimes more successfully than others. And since it's Spotlight on Spider-Man week here at Popverse, we cracked open our Marvel Comics omnibuses to see which of those who wore that name best. Check out our list of best Spider-Mans (or Spider-Men, whichever you prefer) to hear our thoughts.

Oh, but before you continue - we are trying to stick with the Spider-Man name here, or at least a close approximation thereof. In other words, while we love us some Spiders of the Ghost and Scarlet varieties here at Popverse, we'll be saving folks like Gwen Stacy and Ben Reilly for other lists.

Spider-Man does whatever a spider can, and he looks good doing it. In addition to his spectacular spider-powers, Peter is one of the best-dressed heroes in the Marvel Universe. Over the years, Peter Parker and other Spider-Men like Ben Reilly and Miles Morales have worn some slick Spidey costumes. Let’s take a peek inside Spidey’s closet and rank his top 10 costumes.

In order to make this a fair ranking, we’ve decided to exclude Steve Ditko’s traditional red and blue costume from the list. The costume is arguably the gold standard when it comes to Spidey suits, and nothing comes close. It’s the reason why it remains his standard suit across modern comics, movies, television, and birthday party napkins. Putting it on this ranking would be unfair to the other suits, so in order to make things more balanced, let’s declare the red-and-blue suit the automatic winner and do the rest of our ranking without it.

For a suit to qualify for this ranking, it must be a Spider-Man costume worn by someone using the Spider-Man identity. This means that Spider-Gwen’s costume doesn’t qualify, since it’s a Spider-Woman costume, not a Spider-Man costume. Some costumes, like Miles’s traditional red and black outfit or Peter’s red and blue suit, have had many variations over the years. For the purpose of this list, we’re considering redesigns and variations of the same costume unless there was a significant design change. For example, Ben Reilly’s Spider-Man costume is a redesign of the red and blue suit, but it has enough new design features that it can be considered its own suit. Conversely, Spider-Man’s Oscorp suit (seen in Zeb Wells’s Amazing Spider-Man run) is virtually the same as the red and blue suit, with only one or two small design tweaks, therefore it doesn’t count as a separate costume.

If you're a "spooky season is forever" kid like me, you're probably already preparing for Halloween, especially with the halfway-to-Halloween marker already come and gone. But here's the thing - there's another ostentatious October occasion that you might want to start prepping for, with just as many costumed weirdos joining the same endeavor. That endeavor is New York Comic Con 2026, and Popverse is here to answer a couple of FAQs surrounding the event to make sure you're as prepared as you can be.

Even this far out.

New York Comic Con 2026 will take place October 8-11 at the Javits Center in New York, NY. You might remember Popverse reporting on these dates all the way back in October of 2025, as NYCC '25 was underway. So, like we said at the top - never too early to start thinking ahead.

The Clayface release date is October 23rd, 2026 in theaters.

It’s been more than three years since DC Studios unveiled what was, at the time, called ‘Chapter 1: Gods of Monsters’ — a slate of 10 initial projects that would launch the new DCU into the world. In the years since that first announcement, a lot has changed… including the emergence of all-new projects, the shelving of some of that first line-up, and the discovery of what the new DCU really looks like in practice. Here’s what stayed, what went away, and what replaced it.

As announced in early 2023, the launch slate for DC Studios looked like this:

We broke down what was originally announced about each of those projects here. As you can tell from the viewpoint of mid-2026, that initial plan didn’t entirely play out the way it was intended. Certainly the Creature Commandos animated series did come out on HBO Max in late 2024 (and has a second season in the works as you read this), but everything else was a little less straightforward.

One of the most beloved magic-themed movies of all time is finally getting a sequel. Later this year, you'll be able to buy a ticket to see Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman in Practical Magic 2. So, when will the theatrical release date for Practical Magic 2 arrive?

The sequel is based on The Book of Magic, a 2021 novel by Alice Hoffman. Naturally, Practical Magic 2 is just one of the many big-screen releases that will premiere in the latter part of 2026. Here's the official teaser trailer for Practical Magic 2:

This autumn, you're invited to revisit one of the most disturbing stories of all time: Resident Evil. The upcoming remake aims to capture the atmosphere of the video games that kicked off the long-running franchise. So, when will the release date for Resident Evil (2026) come knocking at the door of your local theater?

The Resident Evil (2026) release date is September 18th, 2026 in theaters. The new incarnation of the story will be directed by Weapons and Barbarian director Zach Cregger, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Shay Hatten. It has been almost half a decade since the most recent movie in the franchise, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City was released in 2021. Of course, there are a lot of exciting movie release dates for you to keep in mind in the months to come. Currently, an official trailer for Resident Evil (2026) is not yet available.

Resident Evil will be the eighth movie in the franchise, but it represents a new beginning for the big-screen incarnation of the story. The movie stars Austin Abrams as medical courier Bryan, Zach Cherry as Dave, Paul Walter Hauser as Carl, Kali Reis as Pauline and Johnno Wilson as Max. This incarnation of the story is inspired by some of the earlier video games in the series, including 1998's Resident Evil 2, 1999's Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and 2005's Resident Evil 4. And if that's not enough to pique your interest, Cregger has also cited Evil Dead 2 as an inspiration.
