The fifth and final season of The Boys premieres this week, and the first reviews have arrived online, with unanimous praise. Amazon Prime Video’s megahit superhero series, based on the comic of the same name, has been one of the most talked-about shows of the past decade. Season 5 is sure to be a big part of the zeitgeist as well, delivering a worthy conclusion with sharper and bloodier episodes than ever before.

Here’s what critics are saying about The Boys: Season 5:

Is it still must-see TV until the end?

The show remains a visceral, gleefully grotesque ride, elevated by standout performances, razor-sharp satire, and a dark, ominous humor.
— M.N. Miller, Geek Vibes Nation

The Boys Season 5 is exciting, crude, well-acted, and politically potent television that feels fresher than ever.
— James Preston Poole, But Why Tho? A Geek Community

As we approach the end of an era, The Boys proves that it is still the most vital, dangerous show on television.
— Tessa Smith, Mama’s Geeky

I’s both a relief and a pleasant surprise that The Boys goes out exactly how it arrived: as the best, most incisive, and radical superhero show on TV.
— Jeremy Mathai, Slashfilm

It reinforces why The Boys has been one of the most defining shows of its generation—and why its impact will continue long after the finale.
— Nagier Chambers, Big Gold Belt Media

The Boys, for all of its pointed commentary and at the end of its massive run, has finally run out of steam… That said, the series remains immensely watchable.
— Giovanni Lago, Next Best Picture

Does it continue to be better than other superhero shows and movies?

The Boys ends as one of the greatest superhero television shows of all time.
— James Preston Poole, But Why Tho? A Geek Community

This basic setup feels reminiscent of the ongoing season of Daredevil: Born Again, [but] rest assured that The Boys improves upon it in almost every conceivable way.
— Jeremy Mathai, Slashfilm

The series has slowly devolved into the very thing it has spent years kicking down.
— Giovanni Lago, Next Best Picture

How does it compare to past seasons?

This season surpasses the others… It’s beyond everything we’ve seen to this point.
— John Kirk, Original Cin

It’s the most savage and politically charged season yet.
— Michael Sowell, Nerdspin

Its understanding of tone is a much-needed improvement from Season 4, which often couldn’t read the room in the most inappropriate scenarios.
— Katie Doll, CBR

Will fans be satisfied by the finale?

Many shows stumble at the finish line with lackluster finales that drag or fail to tie up story arcs. The Boys takes a deliberate shot at those lackluster endings by being the total antithesis of them… a masterpiece of a finale that stays true to its brutal DNA.
— Michael Sowell, Nerdspin

It’s a payoff. Full-circle moments, callbacks, and long-running arcs all converge in ways that reward longtime viewers.
— Nagier Chambers, Big Gold Belt Media

This ending is wildly entertaining, sustaining its venomous revenge narrative with a generous dose of biting, gallows humor.
— M.N. Miller, Geek Vibes Nation

Not only does The Boys find a proper exit for this funhouse mirror riff on sociopathic “Supes” in capes and tights, but it also acts as the last and definitive word on superhero media as a whole.
— Jeremy Mathai, Slashfilm

The Boys Season 5 is expected to wrap things up in a satisfying manner for the series, which means a shocking one. The season does an excellent job in that department.
— James Preston Poole, But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Does the series go out with a bang?

In a bloody blaze of resonant (and prophetic) glory… the final season explodes like a powder keg.
— M.N. Miller, Geek Vibes Nation

It doesn’t just end; it detonates.
— Michael Sowell, Nerdspin

Far from the best The Boys has been, but this conclusion still has enough here to reward longtime viewers who have stuck with it from the beginning.
— Giovanni Lago, Next Best Picture

For the first time in years, The Boys brings some much-needed heart and soul to this grim conclusion.
— Jeremy Mathai, Slashfilm

The Boys Season 5 is nowhere near a powerful swan song for what was once a refreshing superhero takedown. Instead, it’s an agonized limp to the finish.
— Belen Edwards, Mashable

How is the writing this season?

Truly, there hasn’t been a season of The Boys this tightly written since the first.
— James Preston Poole, But Why Tho? A Geek Community

This season may be the sharpest the show has ever been from a writing standpoint.
— Nagier Chambers, Big Gold Belt Media

While the main storyline occasionally relies too much on contrivances, it soars every time it’s driven by an intricate web of interpersonal drama and conflicting motivations.
— Jeremy Mathai, Slashfilm

The writers continue to explore media weaponization, now bringing AI-generated fake news and videos into the fold… Urban and Starr remind you how sharp the writing is.
— M.N. Miller, Geek Vibes Nation

What takes shape here is so bizarre it almost feels laughable. But, as ridiculous as these plot points have gotten over the years, the show’s cast always sells it.
— Kaiya Shunyata, RogerEbert.com

The plot is sluggish at best.
— Jesse Schedeen, IGN Movies

Does the show feel more relevant than ever?

The final season of political division, cultural unrest, and escalating rhetoric has become eerily immediate.
— M.N. Miller, Geek Vibes Nation

What stands out even more is how naturally the show integrates pop culture references, real-world figures, and recognizable elements into its dialogue.
— Nagier Chambers, Big Gold Belt Media

A powerful metaphor for our times, Season 5 of The Boys is the final reckoning in this story.
— John Kirk, Original Cin

Thinking about how close some of these storylines are to events transpiring across the globe only adds to this show’s disturbing nature.
— Abe Friedtanzer, Awards Buzz

The series doubles down on its brashness, so much so that it feels as if the invisible veil between our television screens and the world we inhabit grows thinner with each episode.
— Kaiya Shunyata, RogerEbert.com

The problem is that the absurdity of the real world has largely outpaced the show, dulling the bite it once had.
— Giovanni Lago, Next Best Picture

Is it still funny?

The humor is biting and offers no moral comfort, which is part of what makes the show so effective.
— M.N. Miller, Geek Vibes Nation

The humor is darker than ever, but when it hits, it really hits.
— Tessa Smith, Mama’s Geeky

Humor in general tends to be one of Season 5’s stronger suits. The idea being that sometimes the best thing to do when confronted with looming fascism is to simply laugh in its face.
— Jesse Schedeen, IGN Movies

The satire this season is razor-sharp.
— Michael Sowell, Nerdspin

Season 5 is The Boys at its satirical best, mercilessly upending superhero conventions without losing sight of the deeply flawed and human characters at its core.
— Jeremy Mathai, Slashfilm

What ultimately holds The Boys back from fully landing the plane is the diminishing comedic impact of its final season…what once felt sharp now feels blunt, making the juvenile elements more eye-rolling than effective.
— Giovanni Lago, Next Best Picture

How’s the action?

In case there were any doubts, Season 5 doesn’t fail to deliver on the gore and violence front.
— Jesse Schedeen, IGN Movies

The brutality remains a defining element of The Boys, and Season 5 does not hold back.
— Nagier Chambers, Big Gold Belt Media

The handheld action is as engaging and chaotic as fans have grown accustomed to. On a technical level, the blend of visual and gruesome practical effects is unrivaled on the small screen.
— Jeremy Mathai, Slashfilm

Kripke and company can still generate strong reactions with their cartoonish violence.
— Giovanni Lago, Next Best Picture

The epic fight scenes and brutal kills have always been key to the appeal of The Boys, and they’re all best experienced without any foreknowledge.
— Abe Friedtanzer, Awards Buzz

Are the stakes higher?

This final season certainly has higher stakes, as there are numerous character deaths and many plot lines to wrap up as the final confrontation with Homelander draws near.
— Giovanni Lago, Next Best Picture

The writers dig deeper and find the real stakes by confronting the idea of things coming to an end…actions have actual consequences in the world of The Boys.
— Jeremy Mathai, Slashfilm

The Boys has never been afraid to take risks; with this final season, they up the ante, forcing their audience to confront the morality (and mortality) of these beloved characters.
— Kaiya Shunyata, RogerEbert.com

No one is safe. This is the culmination of years of carnage, and the stakes have never felt more terminal.
— Michael Sowell, Nerdspin

Unpredictability remains the driving force. No character feels safe, and the series leans into that tension fully.
— Nagier Chambers, Big Gold Belt Media

Pretty much any scene [Homelander] has with a living person is filled with tension, because the odds are pretty good that somebody will get brutally killed by the end of it. It’s a tension that almost feels overused by a certain point.
— Liz Shannon Miller, Consequence

Do any of the performances stand out this season?

Of the main cast, Alonso tends to be the one who shines.
— Jesse Schedeen, IGN Movies

This season is Karen Fukuhara’s time to shine, a coming-out party of sorts now that the once-mute Kimiko is able to speak and actually showcase the actor’s full range of talent.
— Jeremy Mathai, Slashfilm

The one who deserves special praise is Antony Starr as Homelander. Outstanding doesn’t cut it…Starr has given the definitive television performance for the 2020s.
— James Preston Poole, But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Antony Starr [delivers] a masterclass performance that cements Homelander as one of the greatest villains in television history.
— Michael Sowell, Nerdspin

Starr once again delivers a captivating performance…but this season, [his] is also the only performance that truly stands out.
— Giovanni Lago, Next Best Picture

How are the cameos?

The second half of the season is peppered with surprise cameos that are as hilarious as they are unexpected.
— Michael Sowell, Nerdspin

The guest stars are phenomenal, with a few Supernatural nods.
— M.N. Miller, Geek Vibes Nation

In the midst of the melancholy are also some hilarious cameos…[some of them] do feel like Supernatural fan service, but not in an entirely bad way.
— Katie Doll, CBR

Are there any major problems?

It suffers from some major pacing problems in the fifth and final season…the series feels as though it’s spinning its wheels for several episodes.
— Jesse Schedeen, IGN Movies

Some secondary characters remain stuck in the role of comedic relief, providing a few laughs but failing to achieve any meaningful character development across the finish line.
— Michael Sowell, Nerdspin

Where the series takes Homelander may be its biggest stretch yet.
— Giovanni Lago, Next Best Picture

Will it leave fans wishing it wasn’t over?

If anything, the numerous spinoffs, loosely tied to this fifth season, feel like a better avenue for exploring new ideas and stories in a universe that has grown limited within the boundaries this series established.
— Giovanni Lago, Next Best Picture

Even as it moves toward its conclusion, the season continues to connect to the larger universe…These threads don’t distract—they enhance. They give the sense that while this story is ending, the world is far from finished.
— Nagier Chambers, Big Gold Belt Media

The final stretch of episodes all but turn into a treatise of why The Boys needs to die, even as, somewhat contradictorily, certain events open up a backdoor pilot for continued adventures.
— Jeremy Mathai, Slashfilm

The Boys: Season 5 premieres on Prime Video on April 8, 2026.

Back in 2023, 30 years after Hollywood first attempted to bring the beloved Super Mario Bros. video game to the big screen (and, most would say, failed), Nintendo partnered with Universal Pictures and Illumination to bring us the animated The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Though the film divided critics, audiences were wholly on board, leading to a Verified Hot Popcornmeter score of 95% and a whopping $1.36 billion global box office haul.

Fast forward to 2026, and the inevitable sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, has also mostly fallen flat with critics but inspired an outpouring of support from fans eager to jump back into the world of Mario and his plucky friends. The film debuted over the weekend to the biggest opening of 2026 ($130.9 million), and while the Popcornmeter hasn’t been quite as strong as its predecessor’s, it’s still holding steady as Verified Hot.

Here’s what the fans have been saying in the Verified Audience Reviews for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

These reviews have been edited for clarity.

If enjoying this movie is wrong, I don’t want to be right. Visually, it is stunning. It ain’t Shakespeare, and that’s good. I didn’t show up for soliloquies and lights breaking through yonder windows. I showed up to have a good time with my 13-year-old, which is exactly what happened. You can have a steak with a bourbon, and you can eat a hotdog with a crummy beer at a baseball game. Both are a good time, and this movie is the latter of those things. I’m not giving 5 stars because not all the jokes landed (even with my teenager, who loved the movie), and because there was a loose thread with King Wart that needed tying up, and they didn’t do that. Keep making them, and I’ll keep showing up to have a good time.
— Andrew P, 4.5 Stars

The nostalgia hits hard, leaving you smiling and laughing at almost every moment. And finally, we get a surprise character that was left out of the trailers, providing shocking and fun humor while also hinting at the amount of world-building these Mario movies can extend to in the future. Outside of the nostalgia factor, the story itself is still fun and exciting.
— Michael S, 5 Stars

So many incredible moments that called back to my favorite moments of playing Mario from when I was a kid, all the way to my adulthood. There’s been a lot of hate for this movie not being deep enough but walking into this second showing and seeing all the excited kids it reminded me this movie was made for them. If I was a kid and I saw this when I was little I would’ve thought it was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.
— Jonah C, 5 Stars

I can’t even describe what my inner child was feeling while watching this movie. I’m 33 years old… I’ve been playing Mario games for as long as I can remember, and they’ve been part of my life since childhood. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie feels like a celebration of 40 years of Mario history. Every detail, every character, every reference, it’s all there, and it’s an absolute blast. Bowser Jr. and Princess Peach steal the show. Every action scene and every sequence feels like a dream come true for Nintendo fans, and it absolutely delivers. Pure magic!!
— Alejandro P, 5 Stars

From start to finish, this film is engaging, bursting with charm, colour, and that signature sense of cosmic wonder. As a long-time fan, I was especially happy to see Princess Peach given more time and story… She truly shines. Rosalina is another standout. Brie Larson brings a gentle warmth to the role, making her feel both magical and emotionally grounded. On the villain side, Bowser Jr. is pretty cool, but to the surprise of absolutely no one, Jack Black once again rocks as Bowser.
— Jason W, 4.5 Stars

Flying across the stars and tons of fun surprise cameos. I feel like I need to watch it again to catch all the Easter eggs. The music was beautifully done with tons of call-backs to previous games in the series. This film was the best way to celebrate Mario’s 40th anniversary.
— Nitz, 5 Stars

My three boys and I loved it. Being a ’90s kid, I yelled out in joy when I saw two certain characters in that movie. It was epic! I’d watch it again.
— Mr. D, 5 Stars

It was great, my kids really enjoyed it, and it had cute nods to the video games. Overall, it was a perfect kids movie, and I know my kids will make us watch it over and over again when it is available at home. It is not too long and not scary. The kids laughed a lot!
— Amanda W, 5 Stars

It left a real smile on my face. Could have used a bit more Rosalina.
— Miu, 4 Stars

Loved the animation, the stunning sets and scenery. It was fun, the music was amazing, and the greatest joy was hearing my daughter laugh throughout and say she didn’t want it to end! Well done, Illumination, once again!
— Jaclyn, 5 Stars

A great movie for the whole family. The beginning of the movie really held my interest with the introduction of Rosalina. My son loved how the different Mario games were incorporated into the film. There wasn’t a moment of boredom, and the 3D made it even more enjoyable.
— Kristen, 5 Stars

Family fun and some fun Easter eggs! (No holiday pun intended)
— Spagoshi, 5 Stars

I’m a big fan of Super Mario games and loved the first movie. While it was good, I felt that this story was missing something, like a new song from Bowser maybe. I liked meeting Bowser’s son, but I thought Bowser could have been funnier, and I did like all the visual cues and cinematography. Overall, I still really enjoyed the movie. It has some funny moments, awesome game play scenes, and very cute recognizable characters. I think kids & adults will enjoy the movie and become fans if they’re not already.
— JS, 5 Stars

Maybe not as good as the first, but it checks all the boxes for a great Mario Bros movie. Really enjoy how they elevate Peach and Luigi as strong characters instead of leaving it all to Mario.
— Michael C, 4.5 Stars

When a film is fun, it’s fun, and that’s what this is. I can’t deny how much I enjoy existing in the Nintendo world and seeing all of the Easter eggs, cameos and references. When you combine that with top of the line animation, it makes for a good time. From a critical standpoint, this narrative is a bit messy and all over the place, lacking focus… Nonetheless, the pacing was pretty steady and I was never bored. The greatest strength of this film are the characters. Growing up with the games, it’s very satisfying to finally see them developed and expanded upon in their own film.
— Ian W, 3.5 Stars

As a general audience member, the movie feels very rushed and races to get to the end. As a Mario fan… it’s called a “Galaxy” movie but only 10% of the source material was used. The Baby Bros. were unnecessary and felt more like an ad for the new Yoshi game. Bowser and Bowser Jr. carried this movie, in all honesty. I mean, it’s a fun movie, but it should have been called “The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2.”
— Galaxycap, 2 Stars

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is currently in theaters.

The first season of Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord has arrived, and critics are weighing in! Lucasfilm’s newest animated series dives into the aftermath of the Clone Wars, following Maul as he attempts to rebuild his criminal empire on a world untouched by the Empire. First reviews indicate that the series is action-heavy and that it helps push Star Wars animation forward while giving one of the franchise’s most iconic villains a spotlight worthy of his legacy.

Here’s what critics are saying about Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord:

How does it compare to other series in the Star Wars franchise?

Maul – Shadow Lord is easily one of the most enjoyable Star Wars TV shows to date; it’s a true demonstration of how beautiful Star Wars animation can be.
— Tom Bacon, ComicBook.com

It elevates what Star Wars animated shows are capable of and easily establishes itself as one of the prolific franchise’s best TV series of all time.
— Jamie Parker, CBR

Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord stands as a strong and stylish addition to the franchise, giving one of its most compelling characters a story worthy of his legacy.
— Danielle Solzman, Solzy at the Movies

Star Wars: Maul — Shadow Lord stands as one of the strongest animated entries the franchise has delivered in years.
— Maggie Lovitt, Collider

How’s the animation?

A visually striking series that deepens Maul while proving once again why Star Wars animation continues to lead in storytelling.
— Nagier Chambers, Big Gold Belt Media

Without a doubt, the standout aspect of Maul – Shadow Lord is immediately presented from the very first frame: its animation.
— Lewis Glazebrook, Screen Rant

Star Wars animation has never looked better.
— Dais Johnston, Inverse

The series has slowly devolved into the very thing it has spent years kicking down.
— Jacob Fisher, Discussing Film

How’s the story?

Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord offers fans a deep dive into this era of Star Wars and fans of the galaxy far, far away and of Maul himself will have a lot to enjoy with this series.
— Ricky Church, Flickering Myth

Stands as the most action-packed series yet. With epic saber fights, massive laser battles, and crushing vehicle chases through the highways and byways of Janix, Star Wars animation just keeps getting better and better with each outing. Wow.
— Andrew Mack, ScreenAnarchy

A dark, gritty, and grounded story that gives Maul all the time he needs to shine, while also introducing interesting and exciting new characters to the Star Wars world. It’s also beautifully animated.
— Tessa Smith, Mama’s Geeky

A lot of the Star Wars animated offerings require knowing a lot of lore that’s not present in the films. This does not seem to be the case with this series… It’s a pretty straightforward, simple, contained story. For me these are all positive aspects.
— Mike Ryan, The Hard Pass (Ghost.io)

Not only is this a well thought-out and rich setting for a Star Wars adventure, it also has threads of revenge, loyalty, revolution and punchy comedic dialogue. It’s a fan’s delight.
— John Kirk, Original Sin

(Photo by Lucasfilm Ltd.)

How’s the voice cast?

Visually stunning entry in the Lucasfilm Animation canon that explores the wrath and surprising vulnerability of one of Star Wars’s most intriguing characters, with a brilliant vocal performance from Sam Witwer and a lively cast of supporting characters.
— Molly Edwards, GamesRadar+

Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord excited me ever since it was announced, and it lived up to my expectations with each episode I saw. Maul is perfect for being the center of a series, and Sam Witwer is perfect for this leading role.
— Julian Lytle, RIOTUS

Are there any major problems?

Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord looks amazing and certainly delivers epic action scenes with blistering lightsaber battles, but takes too long to develop before the plot heats up.
— Julian Roman, BlackFilmandTV.com

It is a solid start—just one that leaves me with a little trepidation and concern.
— Rendy Jones, RogerEbert.com

Shadow Lord can capably move the Clone Wars story forward, but it’s not yet ready to serve as a Star Wars standard-bearer on its own.
— Alison Herman, Variety

Star Wars: Maul — Shadow Lord is now streaming on Disney+.

At last count, actor Luis Guzmán has over 170 credits to his name with no signs of slowing down. He’s worked alongside directorial titans like Sidney Lumet, Steven Soderbergh, Brian De Palma, and Paul Thomas Anderson, and while those are roles he’s certainly proud of, he’s just as honored to be playing the crime boss Wart in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, in theaters now. “This is what I consider to be a real legacy kind of project,” Guzmán tells Rotten Tomatoes. “Because it’s that huge. It resonates with not just kids but adults [who], at one time, were kids.”  

Guzmán admits he wasn’t well-versed in the Mario landscape before taking on the role, though his kids certainly were. “They’re the ones that would ask me for these games,” he said. “I would get them the game and watch them… I couldn’t tell you how many times I would hear that [theme music]. I’m sleeping and Mario just got 10 times bigger because he went through the channel.” When he was offered the Matthew Fogel-penned script, the first people Guzmán “consulted” were his children. “When I mentioned, ‘Hey, do you know Wart?’ They go, ‘Do we know Wart? Yeah. What’s up?’ ‘They want me to play Wart in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.’ All I’m hearing on the other side [of the phone is] screaming and jumping around. So, I got their blessing.” 

That being said, they did give him a piece of advice: “Be a good baddie.” And for Guzmán, that meant making sure he didn’t overcompensate or be too grandiose with his vocal performance. He didn’t do any specific prep for how he wanted Wart to sound, because what was presented on-screen aligned with what his children would have wanted from a good baddie, like his character being introduced cutting up an apple. “That’s pretty badass,” he said.

How Wart Is Different From His Other Roles

(Photo by ©Universal Pictures)

Guzmán has learned a lot over his lengthy career as an actor. It’s not about the money these days but the opportunity to work with unique people and appreciate the artistry of movies. “When I first started out my career, it was really about the hustle,” he said. “It was about laying the bricks to your foundation… Then you get to a point that it’s like, ‘What is the material?’ It really becomes the significance of the art of what I’m doing.” Guzmán even took the time to shout out Rotten Tomatoes itself. “They really do look at the artistry of some of these films.”

The role is certainly a departure for him of sorts, not only because it’s an animated feature (though Guzmán has done a few voiceover roles), but because of how large the characters loom in pop culture. “Luigi and Mario are two of the most iconic characters in the game world. You say the name, everybody knows who [they are] right away, whether they play the game or not.” Guzmán also got to witness firsthand the impact of seeing these characters during a recent screening of the film. “The best part was when [Wart] showed up and they heard my voice… I saw all these little heads turn around and give me the thumbs up. That was a super cool Mario kind of feeling.”

Wednesday Season 3 Hints?

Outside of Wart, Guzmán has another iconic character under his belt: that of Gomez Addams in the Netflix series Wednesday. The show is currently filming its third season, and while the actor couldn’t give away much, he did want to share a little bit. “There’s some cool surprises. We’re just ripping away at it,” he said. “It goes without saying, but the writing on this show is pretty incredible… We’re having a great time, you know? I’m proud of this cast, this crew. I’m proud of this whole writing team.”

On Legacy, Being Recognized by Marlon Brando, and Playing A Romantic Lead

This brings things back to the nature of legacy and a time Guzmán remembers when he was still an up-and-coming actor. Raised on the work of actor Marlon Brando, Guzmán was shocked when he walked the streets of Studio City, in Los Angeles, and saw Brando walk past him. “I do what people do to me now,” Guzmán said. “I doubled back. I knew I didn’t really want to bother him, but I just went up to him and all I said was, ‘Thank you. Thank you for inspiring me.’ I started to walk away and he goes, ‘Excuse me, young man.’ I turn around, and I walk back, and he points at me and goes, ‘You, young man, do very fine work.’” 

Guzmán was shocked that Brando even knew who he was. It wasn’t until talking to director Sidney Lumet later on — the pair had recently worked on the 1990 crime feature Q&A — that Guzmán learned Brando had watched the movie and was drawn to his performance. “Marlon told Sidney that I was his favorite character in the movie because he said I was so truthful. That’s part of the legacy. I would never think that I would hear something like that.” For him, doing Super Mario Galaxy is another brick in that foundation.

Guzmán doesn’t plan to retire anytime soon, and despite the big names he’s worked with, there are still some things he’d like to accomplish in his career. “I would like to play the romantic lead,” he said. No matter what, the actor wants to make a movie people will remember forever. “I want it to be something original, yeah, a good story. I want it to be the kind of project that people are talking about six months later… Something that hits the heart.”

It’s unknown currently whether Wart will return to the Super Mario landscape, but Guzmán is hopeful. “I would be more than [happy] to continue into this universe,” he said. “Watching this movie and hearing the voices of friends of mine that I have actually worked with, and to know that I’m a part of their legacy and they’re part of mine. It’s beautiful.” Regardless, he’s happy that he made his kids proud, that he played a “good baddie,” and that it’s another link in an illustrious career.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is in theaters now.

More than four years since its last season aired, Sam Levinson’s hit drama series Euphoria returns to HBO this month, and the first reviews have just arrived online. Still starring Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, Alexa Demie, and Maude Apatow, Euphoria: Season 3 continues to follow the show’s main characters. However, now they’re in their 20s, with the story taking place away from the usual high school settings of the past. Reception to the changes is mixed, but the show’s award-winning performances are worth coming back for.

Here’s what critics are saying about Euphoria: Season 3:

Is the show still worth watching?

Euphoria is back, as tawdry and titillating as ever. And yet also, somehow, better.
— Nick Schager, The Daily Beast

Euphoria is never not entertaining.
— Alison Herman, Variety

It’s a bit of a relief to dive into Season 3 of the HBO drama and find that age has mellowed out both the show and the chaotic adolescents it was once about.
— Liz Shannon Miller, Consequence

Audiences have been clamouring for a concluding chapter. Levinson delivers.
— Nick Hilton, Independent

These early episodes mark a massive creative leap forward for the auteur, results that will have viewers convinced that the long wait has absolutely been worth it.
— Meghan O’Keefe, Decider

Fans of the series may find that catching up with its familiar characters is satisfying enough.
— Caryn James, BBC.com

The wait for the third season… doesn’t feel particularly worth it, the show feeling stagnant.
— Tyler Doster, AwardsWatch

How does it compare to past seasons?

Euphoria’s third season is every bit as visually arresting and stomach-churning as the first two.
— Sal Cinquemani, Slant Magazine

If the first two seasons brought a manic energy comparable to the effects of drugs, the third is the hangover that follows.
— Tyler Doster, AwardsWatch

If nothing else, it’s a relief to see Rue free of the drug abuse, soul-crushing withdrawals, and severe relapse that punctuated her Season 2 arc.
— Lyvie Scott, TV Guide

It’s certainly not as effective as Season 2, but the third and final season of Euphoria takes some ambitious swings both narratively and stylistically that are admirable.
— Sean Boelman, FandomWire

There’s much less nudity than in Seasons 1 and 2, but one unexpected theme of the first three episodes [is] a celebration of sex work.
— Liz Shannon Miller, Consequence

What [these episodes] don’t feel like is tethered to the grounding ballast that kept the first two seasons on the rails even at their most over-the-top.
— Alison Herman, Variety

The show has lost its zeitgeisty edge. Euphoria has become a series with very little to say, none of it very audacious or compelling.
— Caryn James, BBC.com

What makes the season so tonally different?

A bizarre, Tarantino-esque opening… [You] kind of have to see it to believe it.
— Tyler Doster, AwardsWatch

Ludicrous situations that feel like Breaking Bad meets Looney Tunes.
— Lauren Sarner, New York Post

With its widescreen framing and open vistas, the new season of Euphoria certainly feels, at least in those opening scenes, like an entirely new series.
— Sal Cinquemani, Slant Magazine

At times, the show nods to old Western movies in its dialogue and gunplay, with a tone that is almost but not quite tongue-in-cheek.
— Caryn James, BBC.com

The show is a Western now, but that’s actually not as ridiculous as it sounds.
— Lyvie Scott, TV Guide

The Western landscapes that form Levinson’s latest visual obsession are a feast for the eyes, but the new genre doesn’t feel any more connected to a suburban coming-of-age story than the characters’ new pursuits.
— Alison Herman, Variety

There are so many scenes in this season that feel like they could have come directly from an Elmore Leonard or Carl Hiaasen novel.
— Liz Shannon Miller, Consequence

(Photo by Patrick Wymore/HBO)

Hasn’t this show always had its ups and downs?

These episodes boast far fewer dead-weight subplots than in the past.
— Nick Schager, The Daily Beast

Euphoria hasn’t always been great, but it’s been better than this.
— Tyler Doster, AwardsWatch

There are individual beats, scenes, and performances in these three episodes that spark with that energy that the show found at its best, but 2026 Euphoria feels more uncertain of what it’s doing or saying than ever before.
— Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com

Euphoria always skewed nihilistic, so none of these ideas are out of place in what may be its last season. But Levinson’s series was never this spiritually hollow, and it was always more active, insistent, and ambitious.
— Ben Travers, IndieWire

What does it continue to do well?

What works best in Euphoria is that, even in the silliest situations, the characters feel real. The performances are there because the characters feel lived-in, which is the biggest strength of the series.
— Tyler Doster, AwardsWatch

The series has fully tapped into the laugh-out-loud madness that first made it a small-screen sensation.
— Nick Schager, The Daily Beast

Euphoria owns its contradictions, and, in this final season, shows it’s mastered them.
— Nick Hilton, Independent

Euphoria still has all the visual excess and flourish that we have come to expect from Levinson, albeit within the confines of a different genre.
— Sean Boelman, FandomWire

Levinson was already showcasing his movie geek bona fides by shooting on film, but now he’s broadened his own canvas to make the show feel even more cinematic.
— Meghan O’Keefe, Decider

Its cinematography is as beautiful as ever, featuring stunning sunrises and dazzling, neon-drenched nightscapes alike…maintaining the impeccable, cinematic style the show has become known for.
— Taylor Gates, Collider

(Photo by Eddy Chen/HBO)

Does the time jump affect the quality of the show?

It really can’t be overstated how well the time jump works… It’s natural for [Rue] to be hitting her quarter-life crisis in a contemporary, post-pandemic setting.
— Liz Shannon Miller, Consequence

This leap in time is a convenient metaphor for the way many of the show’s characters have been robbed of their youth.
— Sal Cinquemani, Slant Magazine

There are some benefits to the delay. Now that the characters are all full-grown adults and not teenagers, Levinson is able to go much darker with the themes and subject matter without it feeling like it is broad shock value.
— Sean Boelman, FandomWire

The characters feel disjointed this season, Euphoria now feeling like an examination of life after high school for someone who peaked while they were there, but they mostly don’t interact with each other.
— Tyler Doster, AwardsWatch

The show’s five-year time jump inherently strips it of its central thesis of “look at all the adult things kids have to deal with nowadays,” making it difficult to pinpoint why Season 3 exists at all.
— Taylor Gates, Collider

How are the performances this season?

Zendaya is still giving one of the finest performances on television, but it might be time to call it quits.
— Tyler Doster, AwardsWatch

Zendaya instantly reminds you why she’s won two Emmys for this role.
— Taylor Gates, Collider

Another truly great turn, the best thing about the season, and, again, the best of Zendaya’s career.
— Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com

Zendaya’s performance, always marked by asphyxiating narco-darkness, becomes infused with a newfound light and buoyancy.
— Nick Hilton, Independent

Zendaya is a marvel, delivering what is simultaneously among the broadest and most quietly nuanced performances on television.
— Daniel Fienberg, The Hollywood Reporter

It’s Sweeney who stands out, at least in these early episodes, imbuing Cassie with a mix of glassy-eyed self-importance and pitiable self-doubt.
— Sal Cinquemani, Slant Magazine

Levinson still gets the best performance out of Sweeney the rising star has given since… the last season of Euphoria.
— Alison Herman, Variety

Should this be the end of Euphoria?

It’s a little sad that this has happened just in time for the show’s likely conclusion, but… Euphoria might just go out on an, um, high note.
— Liz Shannon Miller, Consequence

There isn’t much that makes sense on the show anymore, and for that reason alone, this will hopefully be the show’s last outing.
— Tyler Doster, AwardsWatch

Euphoria: Season 3 premieres on HBO on April 12, 2026.

Want to know if your favorite television series is among the latest cancelled TV shows? Bookmark this page to learn about Disney+ and Netflix cancelled shows, when network series get the axe, and which cable TV limited series are being reworked as “anthologies” to squeeze every single drop of fan love (and awards) out of them.

How it works: Renewals are obvious: new season = yay! Cancelations are more complicated. When a network or streaming service announces that they’re not making another season of a show, we count that as cancelled (or “canceled” if you spell it without SEO considerations). Sure, some shows “come to a natural end,” but someone somewhere said “enough.” So to avoid debating the semantics of “cancelled” versus “retired,” we’re just going to go with the former. There are also some instances, either due to scheduling conflicts, or various delays, where the answer is “I dunno.” In those instances, we will leave the series as renewed and list the most recent season until we’re told otherwise.

Feel free to debate specific titles in the comments. But first: learn which series will live on, which were renewed and then cancelled, which are switching channels and which have simply reached their expiration date.

Highlights

HBO Brings Rooster Back for a Second Season

HBO’s Rooster is still in the middle of its first season, but the comedy series has already been renewed for a second season. Created by Bill Lawrence (Scrubs, Ted Lasso, Shrinking), Rooster stars Steve Carell as a novelist who takes on a stint as a guest lecturer at the college where his daughter (Charly Clive) also teaches. The show has performed well for HBO, with programming executive VP Amy Gravitt saying, “It’s been heartening to feel the audience embrace Rooster… We’re looking forward to seeing what Ludlow’s spring semester has in store for this incredible comedy ensemble.”

Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord Gets an Early Renewal

Disney and Lucasfilm must be pretty confident in their latest series, Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, because the series has already earned a season 2 renewal days before its series premiere. The animated show, which will stream on Disney+, takes place after the Clone Wars and follows the titular Sith lord as he rebuilds his criminal syndicate. Anticipation for the show is high, as it even topped our user poll of the Most Anticipated TV Shows of April.

Wonder Man Renewed for Season 2

Marvel’s latest TV offering, Wonder Man, has been officially renewed for a second season after the series debuted with all eight of its episodes on January 27. The so-called Marvel Spotlight series, which takes place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but isn’t as closely tied to its primary narrative, centers on aspiring actor Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) as he attempts to land a major movie role as Wonder Man with the help of veteran actor Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley), all without revealing he has actual superpowers of his own. The critically acclaimed season, which was initially billed as a miniseries, ended with something of a cliffhanger, opening the door for further adventures.

HBO’s Hacks Confirmed to End with Fifth Season

It’s isn’t much of a surprise to anyone, but HBO has announced that the upcoming fifth season of its Emmy-winning comedy Hacks will be its last. Both the show creators and star Hannah Einbinder have either hinted at or flat-out stated that the series would run its course after five seasons, but with the release of a season 5 trailer, HBO made it official. The series, which charts the relationship between a veteran female stand-up comic and the struggling writer she hires to work for her, has won 12 Emmys since debuting in 2021.

After several years away from the maelstrom of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — or even the adjacent corner he typically inhabited – everyone was more than ready to welcome back Frank Castle (aka the Punisher) in the first season of Daredevil: Born Again. But as that series begins its second season, it seems like the Punisher is, once again, missing.

Thankfully, though, we know he will be going solo again very soon with The Punisher: One Last Kill, the upcoming Marvel Special Presentation on Disney+ set to debut this May. But, you may be wondering, what is a “Marvel Special Presentation?” You may also be confused why Frank is on his own again. Let’s dive into what it means for the Punisher to make a skull-shaped hole on Disney’s streaming platform and how One Last Kill might tie into the character’s next appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Previously On The Punisher

One thing to consider is where the Netflix Punisher series left off. After finding allies in the United States intelligence apparatus, Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) declined the chance to keep Punishing on behalf of Uncle Sam. That was, of course, many years ago, before the Blip that saw half of Earth’s population vanish for five years. While it will never matter whether or not Frank was Blipped — indeed, the very notion of it was unknown to Netflix and the makers of their Punisher series despite its second season airing in 2019 — Born Again’s canonization of that first Daredevil series and, likely, The Punisher, means his mental state still carries forward.

From his Born Again appearance, it’s clear Frank continued to Punish those whom he considered breaking the law. It is also clear Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) continued to find his methods unpalatable even as he turned to Frank for aid. Nonetheless, Frank assisted Daredevil as Wilson Fisk’s (Vincent D’Onofrio) anti-vigilante task force became more relentless in looking for them both.

In his final Born Again season 1 scenes, Frank busted out of prison following a pretty hellacious beatdown by AVTF agents. But as mentioned in the first episode of Born Again’s second season, Matt and Karen (Deborah Ann Woll) have no idea what became of him in the six months of story time between the two seasons.

So, where is he?

According to reports, One Last Kill will see Frank living a life without the Punisher when a new development brings him back into the dark world he inhabited for, some would say, far too long. And considering the timing of Born Again, One Last Kill, and Brand New Day, the events of the special will likely put Frank back in New York for his “team up” with the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man (Tom Holland).

The Special (And Bloody) Streets

Since the special was filmed in New York City in the summer of 2025, it’s safe to assume Frank will be back in the 10 square blocks he and many of the other street-level Marvel characters protect, defend, and occasionally make a warzone. So expect it to still feel like the Manhattan of Born Again.

But just as important as the setting of One Last Kill is the format: a Marvel Special Presentation. First utilized for October 2022’s Werewolf by Night, a Marvel Special is a single-episode tale, running anywhere between 45 and 60 minutes. The second presentation, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, was released a month later to coincide with that year’s winter holidays and to set up an important plot point in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. It is currently unclear if One Last Kill will tee up something for Brand New Day — beyond Frank Punishing again — or be more freestanding like Werewolf by Night.

But considering the heaviness of the Netflix Punisher series, we can see how a one-off special would appeal to Marvel, Disney, and Bernthal himself. Frank’s grim journey is much easier to watch in smaller installments.

The Punisher And The Punished

Naturally enough, Bernthal returns as Frank — a character often so static and caught up in his one motivation, that it will be interesting to see him make an earnest attempt at living a life with peace. Also, as the most consistent actor to play the Punisher, Bernthal has a unique perspective on the character. More on that in a moment.

Joining him for One Last Kill is Jason R. Moore as Curtis Hoyle, a returning character from the Netflix series. In that program, he is a Navy veteran who runs a support group for those who, like him, lost limbs in combat. As revealed in the trailer, however, Curtis appears as one of several hallucinations plaguing Frank as he attempts to find peace. But even as an aspect of Frank’s mind, he makes a good philosophical foil.

Other actors in the special include Roe Rancell as Dennis and Mila Jaimes as Charli, with Chelsea Brea, Dominick Mancino, Evelyn O. Vaccaro, and Tom Johnson in undisclosed roles. Additionally, set photos reveal a Gnucci restaurant will be part of the plot, but it is unknown if the infamous Ma Gnucci from the “Welcome Back Frank” comic book storyline will finally make her debut. The Gnucci crime family was mentioned in at least one episode of The Punisher, with James J. Lorenzo appearing as Tony Gnucci.

That said, Ma Gnucci is the sort of adversary we’d love to see Bernthal’s Frank confront at some point.

Defining One Last Kill

Taking the helm of the special is Reinaldo Marcus Green, known for films like King Richard and the television miniseries We Own This City , both of which feature Bernthal. While his movies tend to be biopics, his TV work suggests the sort of grit needed for Frank’s war on crime. Green also co-wrote the script with Bernthal, who makes the leap to a creative on top of playing Frank.

One Last Kill first appeared in the actor’s mind during the troubled production of Born Again’s first season. Bernthal reportedly quit the series when it was meant to be a more lighthearted legal show. His concern: The producers were moving Frank away from what he believed Frank should be. But after the 2024 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, Marvel replaced the show’s original creative team with Punisher veteran Dario Scardapane. Bernthal returned and offered some notes regarding Frank’s place in the story. The end result directly leads, at least emotionally, into One Last Kill. Reports indicate the special will be rated TV-MA, which is consistent with the Netflix Punisher series and the tone of Born Again‘s second year.

Executive producing the special is the Marvel Studios and Marvel Television team, which includes Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, and Sana Amanat — names that should be quite familiar from the Born Again credits and elsewhere. Amanat, for example, is one of the creators of Ms. Marvel. Green and Bernthal also serve as executive producers.

Other crew include director of photography Robert Elswit, known for There Will Be Blood and Nightcrawler; production designer Michael Shaw of Orange is the New Black fame; costume designer Emily Gunshor from Born Again; and editor Melissa Lawson Cheung, another Born Again veteran.

When The Punisher Resumes

The Punisher: One Last Kill will debut May 12, 2026 on Disney+. The events of the special are reportedly concurrent with Born Again’s second season — which led some to believe it would be released at the same time as that series. Additionally, Bernthal said his scenes in Brand New Day will feel consistent with the character as seen in One Last Kill. Based on the glimpse of him in the film’s trailer, we’re not so sure. Then again, Spidey’s team-ups with Frank in the comics always end up both bloody and funny for those involved. Is it possible Frank will have a sense of humor? That remains to be seen.

Rom-coms and horror IP were not enough to take down the two biggest movies of the year so far. Retro VHS carnage, first-person spot-the-difference strategery, and exotic locale romance were the new options against the Mario Galaxy and the one Ryan Gosling is hurling himself through to save us, and together the latter two have grossed over a billion dollars in theaters across the globe.

King of the Crop: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Holds Strong to Cross $300 Million Domestic

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie led the way once again this weekend, and though the hold wasn’t quite as impressive as its predecessor, it was hardly terrible either. Back in 2023, The Super Mario Bros. Movie fell just 36.9% to $92.3 million (the seventh-best second weekend ever at the time and now the 10th) after a $146.3 million weekend opening. That was after $58.2 million made on Wednesday and Thursday. Galaxy made $59.1 million on its pre-weekend weekdays and then opened to $131.7 million. Now in weekend two, it fell 47% but earned another $69 million to bring its 12-day total over $308 million.

That is the 23rd-best 12-day start ever. The first film had the 15th best with $353.1 million. These are all just informational statistics for a film that was already in profit by the end of its first weekend. Last summer’s Lilo & Stitch had a $61.8 million second weekend and is about $16 million behind where Galaxy is. Last year’s Jack Black video game adaptation, A Minecraft Movie, had a $78.5 million second weekend but ended up $1.4 million behind Lilo’s pace; it still ultimately held out to best its domestic run. But these are numbers that could be suggesting a finish in the $440-460 million domestic region for Galaxy. Globally the film has already crossed half a billion and then some with $628 million and will continue to charge forward to hit the whole billion.

Tales of the top 10: Project Hail Mary Continues to Soar, The Drama Isn’t So Divisive

Phil Lord & Christopher Miller’s Project Hail Mary is not going anywhere. Second place again with only a 23% drop in its fourth week added up to $24.5 million. Now with over $256 million, it has the seventh-best 24-day total for a March release ever and is still outpacing Dune: Part Two by about $23 million. That pace all but solidifies making it over $300 million. Among the 18 films to have grossed between $250-260 million in 24 days, there were still eight that didn’t make it. (Every film above $260 million has.) Then again, every film on the list to gross over $17 million in weekend four did. Project Hail Mary has crossed the half-billion mark worldwide with $510 million and still going strong.

Kristoffer Borgli’s divisive film The Drama, with Robert Pattinson and Zendaya, apparently wasn’t that divisive with audiences, as it fell a very respectable 39% in its second weekend and grossed $8.7 million. At $30.8 million, it is 10th on A24’s all-time chart and is their second-highest-grossing film after 10 days. (It would be Marty Supreme without the initial limited launch, but alas.) These numbers are closely aligned with that of Duncan Jones’ sci-fi actioner Source Code with Jake Gyllenhaal, which had an $8.6 million second weekend and a 10-day total of $28.2 million. If people keep the conversation going on this, it is looking at a finish in the $50-55 million range, possibly even a tad higher. Worldwide the $28 million production is over $65 million.

After a string of exotic locale travel rom-coms populated streaming services over the years, one is finally back in theaters. Universal, the only major studio to counterprogram against Super Mario Galaxy this weekend (also put out by Universal, by the way), has released Kat Coiro’s You, Me & Tuscany with Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page into 2,500 theaters. The result was $8 million, slightly better than the studio’s release of Coiro’s last rom-com feature, 2022’s Marry Me with Anaconda co-stars Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson. It opened to $7.9 million and finished with $22.4 million despite also being available on Peacock at the same time.

Tuscany has maintained a reasonable score with critics (68%), while Marry Me managed to just eke out a Fresh one (61%). In the post-pandemic world of streaming, the only films of Tuscany’s type to draw a sizable audience have been Anyone But You ($88.3 million) and Ticket to Paradise ($68.2 million), the latter also released by Universal. The studio’s Colleen Hoover adaptation of Reminders of Him looks like it will come up shy of $50 million, just as last fall’s Regretting You did. An additional $1 million this weekend gives it a domestic total of $47.4 million. It is over $80 million worldwide. Regretting You made $90.4 million globally.

Disney/Pixar’s Hoppers added $4.1 million to its domestic haul, which is now just over $157 million. That passes 2024’s release of Elemental, though it is still well shy of that film’s $496 million global take. It currently stands at $354 million and close to profit. 2017’s The Boss Baby, one of the last non-sequelized animated films to gross as much domestically, had a similar 38-day haul of $156.5 million but made $5.9 million in its sixth weekend. Hoppers has trailed off harder in part thanks to Mario Galaxy and may be looking at a $160-165 million final gross in North America.

Those from a certain generation will remember the VHS phenomenon of Faces of Death, which purported to show real deaths of humans and animals from various gruesome means including, infamously, the electric chair. Well, now it’s a new film utilizing that IP from the director of Cam and How to Blow Up a Pipeline. IFC just had its fourth-best opening ever with it in 1,600 theaters, grossing $1.7 million. That puts it just behind Late Night with the Devil ($2.83 million), last year’s Good Boy ($2.34 million), and In a Violent Nature ($2.15 million). It is their sixth film to open over a million dollars and just their 10th film to open in over 1,000 theaters. Right behind it was the video game adaptation Exit 8, which Neon released in just 495 theaters, and it grossed $1.4 million. Guess more people were into to that bit of IP. Neon’s release of Steven Soderbergh’s The Christophers with Ian McKellen also grossed $80,000 in just four theaters.

Rounding out the top 10, we have Roadside’s release of A Great Awakening with $1.2 million to bring its total to $4.8 million. This is their highest-grossing release since The Last Showgirl at the end of 2024, which made $4.73 million, and 2021’s The Courier, which finished in the heart of the pandemic in March that year with $6.57 million. Finally, in the middle of it all, the BTS World Tour ‘Arirang’ in Goyang had a live viewing in 1,189 theaters Saturday night, and it grossed enough in one night ($2.44 million) to finish sixth on the list this week.

On the Vine: A Little Something for Everyone

More horror next week as the director of Evil Dead Rise brings his possessive title, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, from Warner Bros., which is not coming off a great release for They Will Kill You. In limited release, look for David Lowery’s latest, Mother Mary, with Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel. Then, we also have the documentary about Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels, aptly title Lorne. And speaking of which, former SNL writer Bob Odenkirk stars in Normal from Ben Wheatley. And lastly, Janus Films also releases the family drama Blue Heron, which currently boasts a 100% on the Tomatometer based on 22 reviews.

1. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie – $69.0 million ($308.1 million total)

Nearly eight years after Mockingjay, Part 2 closed the book on Katniss Everdeen’s fight for freedom, The Hunger Games is returning to the big screen with a brand new chapter. Following the success of 2023’s prequel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Lionsgate is once again taking audiences back to Panem… this time with a story fans have been eager to see brought to life.

Titled The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, the upcoming film adapts Suzanne Collins’ latest novel and reunites director Francis Lawrence with producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson. With a release date already set in stone, fans are looking forward to the newest installment in the franchise.

Here’s everything we know about The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.

When Will it be released

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is set to release in theaters on November 20, 2026.

The creative team behind Sunrise on the Reaping reads like a reunion of Hunger Games veterans. According to Deadline, Francis Lawrence, who previously directed Catching Fire, both parts of Mockingjay, and the recent prequel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, is set to return at the helm, bringing his seasoned vision back to Panem. The script is in the hands of Billy Ray, the screenwriter who first brought Suzanne Collins’ original novel to theaters, making this a full-circle moment for the franchise. Longtime producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson of Color Force are once again overseeing the production, with Cameron MacConomy on board as executive producer.

Who’s In It?

The cast of The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is nothing short of stacked, pulling together an impressive lineup of rising stars, and award-winning legends to bring this prequel-sequel to life. Leading the charge is Joseph Zada (We Were Liars) as a young Haymitch Abernathy, the role made famous by Woody Harrelson in the original films. Producer Nina Jacobson has called casting Haymitch one of the biggest challenges of the production, noting the need to capture both the mischievous spark and the underlying depth that define the character.

Ralph Fiennes (Schindler’s List, Harry Potter) plays President Coriolanus Snow, stepping into the role previously portrayed by Donald Sutherland and Tom Blyth, with Jacobson calling his casting both a tribute to Sutherland and a personal dream fulfilled. Glenn Close joins as Drusilla Sickle, the razor-edged escort for District 12, while Billy Porter (Pose) plays her estranged husband, Magno Stift, the tributes’ reluctant fashion designer.

Maya Hawke (Stranger Things) plays Wiress, another District 3 victor mentoring the District 12 team, and Lili Taylor (Six Feet Under) takes on Mags, the tough but compassionate former champion from District 4.

The film also introduces younger versions of familiar faces. From District 3, Kelvin Harrison Jr. appears as Beetee, here as a past victor whose son is a tribute in the Games, lending his tech expertise to sabotage efforts; Jeffrey Wright originated the role in the original Hunger Games film. Elle Fanning (The Great) steps into the role of Effie Trinket, originally portrayed by Elizabeth Banks, serving as Haymitch’s image-conscious stylist. Kieran Culkin (Succession) takes over as Caesar Flickerman, the Games’ slick and smarmy TV host, while Jesse Plemons (The Power of the Dog) plays a young Plutarch Heavensbee, years before becoming a rebellion leader, capturing the reaping for District 12.

Joining Haymitch from District 12 is McKenna Grace as Maysilee Donner, one of the other tributes from Haymitch’s home district, and Whitney Peak (Gossip Girl) as Lenore Dove Baird, Haymitch’s girlfriend and a descendant of Rachel Zegler’s Lucy Gray Baird from The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Ben Wang takes on the role of Wyatt Callow, District 12’s other male tribute with a knack for reading the odds, while Molly McCann plays Louella, the youngest tribute from the district, and Iona Bell appears as Lou Lou, Louella’s Capitol-appointed double.

According to Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter, Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson are set to mark their return in Sunrise on the Reaping. While the upcoming film takes place 24 before the first Hunger Games film, there’s an epilogue scene included in the Sunrise on the Reaping novel featuring an older Katniss and Peeta. Based on these reports, fans can expect to see the iconic duo back on screen once again.

WHAT IS THE STORY OF THE HUNGER GAMES: SUNRISE ON THE REAPING?

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping marks the sixth installment in the blockbuster Hunger Games series. According to People, Collins’ 2025 novel bridges the gap between The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and the events of Katniss Everdeen’s original story. Set 24 years before the first film, the story follows a young Haymitch Abernathy as he is thrust into the brutal 50th Hunger Games, better known as the Second Quarter Quell. This notorious event doubled the number of tributes from each district, making it the bloodiest Games in Panem’s history. Haymitch must navigate the deadly arena but also the manipulations of the regime. Along the way, fans can expect the film to dive into Haymitch’s relationship with love interest Lenore Dove.

The original Hunger Games films were a box office powerhouse, cementing the franchise as one of the most successful dystopian sagas in movie history. Kicking off in 2012, the first film earned over $690 million worldwide, a remarkable feat for a YA adaptation at the time. The 2013 sequel, Catching Fire, became the highest-grossing installment, raking in just over $865 million globally and topping the U.S. box office for the year. Along with the two-part finale, Mockingjay, Part 1 (2014) and Mockingjay, Part 2 (2016), the series’ total global earnings are just under $3 billion. The films also launched actress Jennifer Lawrence into global superstardom.

Are there any trailers?

The first Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping trailer has officially dropped. The film officially began production in Summer 2025 in Spain’s Somiedo Natural Park (via a social media announcement).

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is set to release in theaters on November 20, 2026.
