It’s incredibly difficult (and rare) to get an in memoriam right — so I’m providing a little, erm, light on the 2026 Actor Awards (previously known as the SAG Awards) and their decision to let the montage run and then bring out Sinners star Miles Caton to sing “This Little Light of Mine.” My colleague Samantha Highfill found it a bit disjointed from home, but in the room it was like a warm hug. —Patrick Gomez, Editor-in-Chief

Forget Harry’s House — we’re going to Harry’s Rave. After a three-year hiatus since Love on Tour wrapped, the beloved British pop star is back in full kaleidoscopic color with his fourth studio album. It’s clear Styles has branched out as an artist while outside of the spotlight, trading in his signature soft rock sound for ethereal, bass-boosted electro-dance pop. However, it’s his rumbling ruminations on the entertainment industry (“Paint By Numbers”), star-crossed relationships (“Season 2 Weight Loss”), and life’s little moments (“Carla’s Song”) that will stick with the listener long after the beat drops off. —Emlyn Travis, News Writer

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Cillian Murphy as Tommy in ‘Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man’.

Netflix

Across six seasons (and nearly 13 years), Peaky Blinders delivered epic drama — and epic fashion. The finale movie, in select theaters now and streaming on Netflix March 20, is no different as Cillian Murphy‘s beloved gangster, Thomas Shelby, suits up one last time. No one is safe (including our tear ducts). —Samantha Highfill, Executive Editor

The Bride!

Silent in her eponymous 1935 film, writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal‘s version of the Bride of Frankenstein, now in theaters, will not remain quiet. Hamnet star (and Best Actress Oscar frontrunner) Jessie Buckley takes on the iconic role, giving a truly wild, impassioned, vengeance-filled performance. —Gerrad Hall, Editorial Director

The CBS legal drama has hit a new gear since season 2 returned, with Jason Ritter‘s Julian finally discovering the truth about Matty’s real identity and motives for infiltrating the law firm. But as the inner circle expands for Kathy Bates‘ title character, so does the risk. —Dalton Ross, Editorial Director

You Got Older

Alia Shawkat makes her stage debut at NYC’s Cherry Lane Theatre in this lovely Clare Barron play filled with laughs, tears, and weird sexual fantasies, as a daughter returns home to care for her sick dad (played to perfection by Succession’s Peter Friedman). —D.R.
