Marvel’s Ultimate Universe reaches its end (finally), while House of the Dragon returns and Supergirl crashes into theaters: Popverse Playlist for June 20-26, 2026

It's a new beginning for DC Studios (again), an old war for Westeros, and a delayed end of the end for Marvel Comics in this week's pop culture picks

Look, we’re willing to put our hands up and admit fault when necessary — like in the case of last week’s column, when we accidentally thought that last week was eight days long. (Take a look at the headline.) I know that, these days, time can feel like an entirely false construct, but there’s no reason to make the work week any longer than it has to be, especially when… hey! We’ve all made it to another weekend, and that’s something to celebrate. And how do we like to celebrate here at Playlist Central? That’s right, by planning out your pop culture calendar for the next seven days. (Yes, seven.) We live to serve.

This week: HBO brings back the true prestige television everyone wants, Superman’s cousin flies into trouble, and it’s the (much-delayed) end of an era for Marvel Comics.
