Marvel Studios might be thinking about bringing Jonathan Majors back to the Marvel movies. The actor was fired from his role as Kang the Conqueror in December 2023 after he was found guilty of hitting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. He was charged with two crimes related to domestic violence.

Marvel had big plans for Majors. He was supposed to be the next big bad guy in Marvel movies, just like Thanos was before. His character Kang was going to be the main villain in many movies, including Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. The studio spent a lot of money setting up his character in shows like Loki and the movie Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

When Majors got in legal trouble, Marvel had to change all their plans. They turned Avengers: The Kang Dynasty into Avengers: Doomsday instead. They brought back Robert Downey Jr., but this time he will play the bad guy Doctor Doom instead of Iron Man. This big change cost Marvel a lot of time and money because they had to rewrite their whole story.

Fan reactions suggest divided opinions on the potential return

Many fans on social media want Majors to come back. Some people said Marvel should pay him more money and that bringing him back would be good for the studio. These fans think his legal problems were not bad enough to get him fired from Marvel. They believe he should get another chance.

But there are big problems with bringing Majors back. Many people did not like his acting as Kang. Critics and fans thought he was not scary or interesting enough to be a main villain. The movie Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, where he had his biggest role, did not do well with audiences. Many people thought it was one of the worst Marvel movies.

Majors still has to deal with his legal problems. In April 2024, he was told he had to go to classes about domestic violence for 52 weeks. He lost other movie jobs because of what happened. If Marvel brings him back, it might make people angry who think hitting women is very wrong. This could hurt Marvel’s good name with fans.

Marvel has not said if these reports are true. Some news sources say different things about whether Marvel is really talking to Majors. The studio has to make a hard choice. They need to think about what fans want, but also about whether this decision could hurt their business. Marvel has always been successful because fans trust them and like their characters. Bringing back Majors could change that trust, no matter what they decide to do.

You have to envy the very stupid. Most of us occupy a boring but depressing world in which we try our best to find a few moments of happiness and delight amidst the drudgery of everyday life. But for the very stupid, the world is a wonderful, magical place of supernatural creatures, real-life fairytales, and magical worlds competing with our own.

Take Full House star Candace Cameron Bure, for example. On a recent episode of her podcast, Bure explained to her bewildered listeners that she sees her TV as “the portal”. I mean, I guess it is a window into your home that brings stuff in, but there’s no way she could be being literal. Oh, wait she absolutely is:

“Like if you’re watching this, or you’re playing this video game, or whatever, that’s a portal that could let stuff inside our home. I don’t even want someone watching a scary movie in our house on the TV, because to me, that’s just a portal.”

'Full House' Star Candace Cameron Bure: 'I Don't Even Want Someone Watching a Scary Movie in Our House' Because 'That's a Portal' to Something 'Demonic' https://t.co/RiufO2uAGE

— Variety (@Variety) June 12, 2025

Bure revealed that her family “make fun of her” when she starts talking about this. Yeah? No kidding… But she went on to underline that somewhere along the line, there’s the prospect of an “incredibly demonic” force eager to push through into the Bure household if a scary movie happened to play on it.

Incredibly demonic

She its that as someone who works in TV and film she knows how production works, and that there’s no “Demonic Liaison” department alongside Catering, Costumes, and Make-up. But, presumably somewhere in post-production, the diabolical forces get in!

“Listen, I’m in the film industry. I understand how it all works. I know that movie has a crew of 200 people, and they’re lighting it, and they’re adding the sound effects, and it’s makeup, and the camera, people, and actors. However, there’s still something that can be incredibly demonic while they’ve made it.”

It must be so fun to be this dumb. Imagine the excitement and tension of living in a world where you believe demonic forces are desperate to escape into their world through your TV set, if only you choose to put a horror movie on! To be fair, if Bure actually seriously no kidding believes demons have the potential to invade her house through the portal that is her TV, then why does she even have a TV?

Is it worth risking being menaced by the sadistic and homicidal legions of hell so you can watch The View and Oprah. Well, apparently yes, it is!

Marvel fans eager for more witchy mischief after Agatha All Along may have spotted a viral tweet claiming that a second season is officially confirmed—but not so fast. Despite the buzz, Marvel Studios has not confirmed a second season of the Disney+ series just yet.

The confusion started when a tweet circulated shortly stating that season 2 was “confirmed.” However, that tweet appears to be premature or speculative at best. In a February interview with Entertainment Weekly, Marvel Studios’ exec Brad Winderbaum cautiously clarified.

“Yes, a second season for sure is something that we would want to do. But let’s not rush it. Let’s get the right idea and then make it.”

So Marvel is open to continuing the story of Agatha Harkness, but nothing is currently in production or officially confirmed. Instead, Marvel appears to be taking a “wait and see” approach.

Was Agatha All Along season 1 successful?

As far as ratings, Agatha All Along season 1 was a mixed bag at best, particularly by recent standards. The series debuted on Disney+ on September 18, 2024, and quickly drew attention with 9.3 million global views in its first week and over 2.2 billion minutes streamed across its nine-episode run. Nielsen data showed 426 million minutes viewed during premiere week alone, and viewership spiked significantly with the finale—episode 8 reached 4.6 million views in a single day.

Critically, the show earned strong scores: 84% on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, an 83% audience rating, and a 7.1/10 score on Metacritic. Episode 7 was especially well-received, earning a 9.2 rating on IMDb. While it may not have matched the total watch time of Marvel’s biggest streaming hits, Agatha All Along resonated with fans and critics alike.

A measured approach to Marvel television

Overall, Winderbaum’s comments also reflect a broader shift in Marvel’s television strategy. After a crowded release schedule in 2021 and 2022, the studio is now scaling back to focus on quality over quantity. The emphasis is on well-developed narratives rather than rushing to churn out multiple seasons or spin-offs.

By stating “let’s not rush it,” Winderbaum signals that Marvel wants any future seasons of Agatha All Along to feel organic and story-driven, not just a reaction to hype.

American Pie actor Jason Biggs has opened up about his intense battle with drug addiction, sharing a particularly dark moment from his twenties when he repeatedly retrieved cocaine from garbage bins. The 47-year-old actor made these revelations during a recent appearance on Arielle Lorre’s Well podcast.

According to Hindustan Times, Biggs detailed a troubling incident that occurred at 4 a.m. while his wife, Jenny Mollen, was asleep upstairs in their Los Angeles home. After doing what he intended to be his final line of cocaine, Biggs attempted multiple times to dispose of the remaining drugs, only to retrieve them repeatedly from various trash containers. His story echoes other celebrity struggles, similar to moments when stars have publicly hit “rock bottom” before finding recovery.

The actor recalled the moment when reality struck him during this cycle of disposal and retrieval. “I was like, ‘What the fuck am I doing? This is absolutely insane,” he said, describing how he had climbed into his own trash bin to recover the cocaine after taking Ambien.

The actor’s journey from Los Angeles to sobriety in New York

The situation escalated when Biggs drove around Los Angeles, disposing of the cocaine in a stranger’s trash can inside a discarded coffee cup. However, he returned to retrieve it once again, itting that he knew he would finish the entire bag despite his attempts to dispose of it.

Biggs acknowledged that his unwillingness to permanently dispose of the drugs by flushing them down the toilet was a clear sign of his addiction. He described this experience as being “very close to rock bottom.” He’s ed other public figures who, while struggling with substance abuse, eventually chose recovery and used their stories to help others.

The actor credits his recovery largely to his relocation from Los Angeles to New York, stating that the energy of New York filled a void that Los Angeles couldn’t. Despite experiencing a relapse seven and a half years ago, Biggs has maintained his sobriety since 2017, which coincided with the birth of his second son.

In 2018, Biggs celebrated his first year of sobriety with an Instagram post, expressing pride in his achievement while acknowledging the difficulty of the journey. He revealed that his initial attempts to get sober began over five years prior when his substance abuse became overwhelming. The actor concluded with a message of hope for others struggling with addiction, encouraging them to seek help without shame.

Tom Felton, known for his role as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series, is preparing to return to the magical world through Broadway’s “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.” However, his return comes at a time when the franchise’s creator, JK Rowling, continues to face criticism over her political statements.

According to Hindustan Times, the actor recently spoke with Variety’s Gordon Cox at this year’s Tony Awards about his role and the ongoing controversies surrounding Rowling. This isn’t the first time Felton has remarked on Rowling’s stance. The conversation inevitably turned to the author’s widely criticized statements regarding gender identity and trans rights.

When questioned about the impact of Rowling’s controversial views on his work in the franchise, Felton revealed that he was “not particularly attuned” to the conversation, stating that he “can’t say it does” affect his work. Felton’s comments come at a time when the cast’s differing views on Rowling’s political stance have become a frequent topic of discussion, particularly around how each has responded to the backlash. 

How Rowling’s legacy continues to impact the Harry Potter franchise

Despite the ongoing controversy, Felton chose to focus on what he considers Rowling’s positive impact on the world. During the interview, he emphasized how the Harry Potter series has united people globally, crediting Rowling for creating this unifying force.

The actor specifically highlighted his worldwide travels, including his current stay in New York, noting that he hasn’t witnessed anything else bring people together quite like the Potter franchise. He expressed gratitude toward Rowling for creating this worldwide phenomenon.

Felton’s return to the wizarding world sees him stepping back into the role of Draco Malfoy in “The Cursed Child,” where his character is now a father dealing with parenthood and legacy. The play takes place 19 years after the events of the original series, following a new generation of Hogwarts students.

The actor’s neutral stance on the controversy arrives at a crucial time when the Harry Potter fandom, known for its progressive values, continues to grapple with Rowling’s political statements. His position of separating the art from the artist presents a contrast to the more decisive stances taken by other Harry Potter alumni, potentially adding another dimension to the ongoing discourse surrounding the franchise and its creator.

British actor Bella Ramsey has become the target of widespread online harassment following their role as Ellie in HBO’s The Last of Us adaptation. The 21-year-old performer, who identifies as non-binary and is on the autism spectrum, has faced intense criticism from fans of the original PlayStation video game series who believe they were miscast for the role.

The backlash against Ramsey has been particularly severe on social media platforms, with Reddit communities dedicated to the show expressing harsh opinions about their appearance, acting abilities, and personal characteristics. Much of the criticism centers on the fact that Ramsey does not physically resemble the video game version of Ellie, leading to accusations from purists that the casting was inappropriate. However, showrunner Craig Mazin has defended the choice, stating that “it doesn’t matter. Just watch what happens.”

The harassment has extended beyond simple casting disagreements to include deliberate misgendering, homophobic comments, and personal attacks on Ramsey’s physical appearance. Bella has previously spoken openly about her gender identity and visibility in the media. Some critics have gone as far as to pit Ramsey against Ashley Johnson, the voice actor who portrayed Ellie in the original video games, creating unnecessary comparisons between the two performers.

Marvel studios reportedly interested in Bella Ramsey for major role

Despite the ongoing controversy surrounding their work on The Last of Us, industry insiders report that Marvel Studios is considering Ramsey for a significant role in an project. According to entertainment scooper MyTimeToShineH, the studio has expressed interest in g the actor for what is described as a big role, though specific details about which Marvel property remain undisclosed.

The potential Marvel opportunity comes at a time when Ramsey’s involvement in The Last of Us season three is expected to be limited, with appearances likely concentrated in the final episodes of what is rumored to be an eight-episode season. This reduced commitment to the HBO series could provide scheduling flexibility for other projects, similar to how Pedro Pascal managed his commitments between The Last of Us and the Fantastic Four film.

Ramsey appears to have anticipated the negative response to their casting, having deactivated their social media s several months before The Last of Us season two premiered in April. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, they explained that avoiding platforms like Twitter and Reddit has helped them maintain their well-being during this period of intense scrutiny.

The situation has also generated significant from fans who have defended Ramsey against the harassment, with many praising their emotional range and performance in the series. These ers have created their own social media campaigns to counter the negative commentary, highlighting specific scenes that demonstrate Ramsey’s acting abilities and condemning the personal attacks directed at the young performer.

Rico Rodriguez, known for his role as Manny Delgado in the hit series Modern Family, recently revealed touching behind-the-scenes moments from his time on the show during his appearance on Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s podcast “Dinner’s On Me.”

According to Hindustan Times, the actor, who was part of the series for all 11 seasons, shared stories about his experiences working with co-stars Sofia Vergara and Ed O’Neill, offering insights into the ive environment on set.

During the podcast, Rodriguez recalled a particularly emotional moment early in the series when he was struggling with his lines. Feeling overwhelmed and on the verge of tears, believing he was “the reason why we’re not doing good,” O’Neill stepped in with a touching gesture of . The veteran actor halted production, took Rodriguez aside, and helped him work through the challenging scene. The moment concluded with O’Neill giving him a reassuring wink and saying, “I got you, don’t worry.”

Sofia Vergara’s playful dynamic with young Rodriguez revealed

Rodriguez also shared amusing anecdotes about his relationship with his on-screen mother, Sofia Vergara. He mentioned how he would often arrive on set knowing everyone’s lines, including Vergara’s, which proved helpful when she would occasionally improvise and need assistance getting back on track.

The actor recounted a particular incident where he voluntarily marked Vergara’s script with line indicators when she was late to a table read. His kind gesture backfired playfully when Vergara cleverly turned it into a regular expectation, leading Rodriguez to realize he had been “played.”

Despite the clever manipulation, Rodriguez expressed that he didn’t mind helping Vergara, who would often rely on him for various on-set information, including their shooting schedules and call times.

The revelations from Rodriguez paint a picture of the close-knit relationships formed during the long-running series, highlighting how the cast ed and looked out for each other, particularly the younger actors. These behind-the-scenes stories add another layer to the beloved family comedy that aired for over a decade, showing that the family dynamic extended beyond the cameras.

Netflix today is the present, it’s the moment, and it’s our number one source for high-quality scripted films and TV series at home. But it wasn’t always that way. At one point, Netflix was still the future — the little engine that could, if you will.

The difference between that era and now is striking. Back then, we had a streamer eager to splash money on talented filmmakers, hoping to win them over to their then-new way of doing business in Hollywood. Now, the focus has shifted. Netflix is more concerned with keeping s on the app, competing with an ever-growing number of rival streamers and battling for watch time.

But through all that, we’ve seen shows fall out of the fray — often to fans’ great disappointment — getting cancelled far too soon, with little to no explanation. Here are 8 of our picks for shows that deserved better:

The OA

The OA was a lot of things — an auteur-driven mystery about a missing girl who resurfaces after seven years. Brit Marling, who plays Prairie Johnson (the missing girl), also co-created the series. As the story unfolds, Prairie is revealed to be a Russian oligarch’s heiress and, later, a dimension traveler.

Over the course of the show’s two-season run, Prairie cures her own blindness, forms a cult, and guides a group of misfits on a metaphysical journey. The narrative is dense, yet never rushed — and poetically, the series formed its own cult following in the real world.

But despite its growing fan base, Netflix abruptly cancelled it with no real explanation. Since then, fans have done everything they can, including organizing a fan-led demonstration in Times Square. Still, nothing worked.

That’s not to say Netflix’s silence has gone unnoticed. Just recently, during the chaotic press run for The White Lotus, Jason Isaacs reassured fans that the streamer’s stance with the creators remains: “no chance of letting it (The OA) go.”

Mindhunter

Mindhunter came along at a time when Netflix had already figured out its voice and business model. They knew exactly why you were tuning in: late-’90s to 2000s classics and murder docs. So it only made sense to bring in David Fincher to create a show about the formation of the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit — the department tasked with investigating serial killers.

The show received predictably high praise, and to this day, it’s hard to find anyone with a bad word to say about it. But quietly, it was removed from Netflix’s future slate. And unlike The OA, fans didn’t have to wonder why for long — Fincher himself came out and rained on the parade, confirming there were no plans to continue. According to the Fight Club director, the show was simply too expensive for the streamer to justify.

Santa Clarita Diet

The worst kind of Netflix cancellation is the kind that gets nipped at a cliffhanger. Netflix has been trying to land a sitcom that sticks for its entire lifetime. For a moment there, Santa Clarita Diet felt like they had found one. It was a big swing, don’t get me wrong: an R-rated sitcom about a family slowly turning into zombies is about as dark as sitcoms go.

But the thing about streamers is, they’re not beholden to rs. All that matters are the subscribers. And just when Timothy Olyphant’s character was also turned into a zombie, they nipped it in the bud. Apparently, the cast and crew found out during the edit of the third season. Netflix rarely does season fours unless the ratings are humongous — but ironically, that’s often when these shows finally hit their stride.

To this day, the search for the big Netflix sitcom continues. And Santa Clarita Diet is that rare show that still remains watchable despite the lack of resolution. Netflix really dropped the ball here.

Anne with an E

By 2020, Netflix was well and truly in its ruthless era. It suddenly had real expectations to meet — not just from subscribers, but from investors. And anything that didn’t retain viewers, no matter how beloved, was getting canceled.

Anne with an E came with an inbuilt audience. An entire generation — especially in Canada — grew up with the literary icon, imagining how she would engulf the screen with updated urgency and relevancy. But right on cue, at the predictable season 3 mark, the announcements came in: “Anne of Green Gables’ story will come to a satisfying conclusion.” Satisfied, fans were not. There were hundreds of thousands of petition gs, threats of canceled subscriptions — but Netflix didn’t care one bit.

The Society

To be fair, there’s a reason Netflix is number one. There are some genres that Netflix does incredibly well — and one of them is teen dramas. The Society set up a world where all the parents disappeared, which is already a nonsensical trope in these shows to begin with. But The Society made that trope an integral aspect of the plot.

This time, the show actually pulled impressive numbers and had a new season in development — but the COVID pandemic ruined those plans, and it had to be canceled. And unlike most shows, with teen dramas, you can’t just revive them after a while. Even Ginny & Georgia, with its long gestation period, is already causing Twitter drama over how grown the actors are starting to look.

Julie and The Phantoms

Sometimes Netflix goes a bit too experimental for mainstream fans’ tastes, and it becomes difficult to grow the audience the show has already garnered. Julie and the Phantoms follows Julie Molina as she navigates her grief over her mother’s death by summoning the ghosts of a band from the 1990s. And did I mention it’s a musical?

By all means, the show is actually good — especially the first 3 episodes. It had the potential to be the High School Musical for a new generation. But it was just a bit too novel for Gen Z audiences. After one season, Netflix pulled the plug.

Warrior Nun

It’s kind of ridiculous how many times Netflix has had to battle its own subscribers. If HBO Max (yes, that’s what it’s called again — for now) didn’t exist, Netflix would easily be the company that least understands its customers. Warrior Nun is based on an anime about warrior nuns who use an ancient Catholic relic to accidentally resurrect a young girl.

There are some mesmerizing, breathtaking sequences in the show’s first season — truly one of the only live-action anime remakes that actually works. But the audience just wasn’t there, so fans picketed, blogged, complained — and they got a season 2. But a season 3? Lightning wasn’t going to strike twice in the same place.

Lockwood & Co.

Lockwood & Co. was another attempt by Netflix to stick to what they know best — developing established IP and focusing on teen dramas. The show follows Anthony Lockwood and his trusted sidekick Lucy Carlyle as they run a ghost-busting agency with a very casual tone. Each episode kind of lives and breathes on its own — it’s a little like Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

But maybe it was a case of oversaturation, or something else entirely. There just wasn’t a big enough audience. Netflix canceled it after one season and, by their standards, faced very little pushback. Just a campaign here and a petition there, nothing they couldn’t ignore.

GLOW

The case of GLOW was genuinely tragic. GLOW had everything Netflix looks for in a show — the story, the fans, the critical raves, and even 18 Emmy nominations. That’s right, and they even won 3 of those.

The show still holds up to this day and follows a group of women navigating the growing 1980s wrestling scene — calling their outfit Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (GLOW). It’s still worth the watch today if you don’t mind a case of unfinished stories. It was canceled while awaiting its final fourth season due to the pandemic. Alison Brie, a core star of the show, called the abrupt cancellation “the great heartbreak of my career.”

1899

Of course, unlike its competitors, Netflix actually has a global footprint. Just like they’ve been searching for their big sitcom, they had also been deeply searching for their big international hit. Narcos was Netflix’s first attempt to dip their toes in the water, but the subject of those first two seasons was always the DEA, and therefore, it read as an American show.

But with 1899, it seemed like they finally had one. Oh, how ambitious that show was. The cancellation even inspired WIRED to publish an article declaring it the end of the Netflix weird era. The show is set on a ship from London to New York, full of a multilingual cast of characters who clash because of modernity and old beliefs.

The show was big, lavish — but it just didn’t capture enough of an audience to justify its price tag. And for Netflix, that’s all they need to see. It was canceled immediately.

Luckily for Netflix, soon after, they got Squid Game, which helped them reach their goal.

Netflix has officially announced the return of three of its most popular series with a trailer showcacoming seasons for 2025. The streaming platform confirmed that Wednesday, Stranger Things, and Squid Game will all premiere new seasons within the year, with specific release dates spanning from summer through late fall.

The announcement was revealed by DiscussingFilm and comes as Netflix continues to leverage its most successful original programming to maintain subscriber engagement. All three series have achieved significant global viewership and cultural impact since their respective debuts. The trailer provides glimpses of what viewers can expect from each returning show.

Wednesday Season 2 will arrive in two separate releases during August 2025. The first part premieres on August 6, followed by the second part on September 3. The series continues to follow the titular character as she navigates supernatural mysteries and personal relationships. The season appears to maintain the gothic elements and dark humor that characterized the first installment.

Netflix schedules three major series returns across 2025

Squid Game Season 3 has been scheduled for release on June 27, 2025, making it the earliest return among the three series. The show will continue its exploration of the deadly competition format that made the series a global phenomenon, and hopefully, it can avoid the mistakes of season 2. Characters return to face new challenges within the established game framework that defined the previous seasons.

Stranger Things Season 5 will conclude the series with its release on November 26, 2025. This final season promises to resolve the supernatural storylines and character arcs that have developed throughout the show’s run. The series has been building toward this conclusion since its debut, with the Upside Down mythology reaching its climax.

The three series represent different genres within Netflix’s programming strategy. Wednesday focuses on supernatural comedy-drama, Squid Game delivers thriller and social commentary elements, and Stranger Things combines science fiction with coming-of-age themes. Each show has established dedicated fan bases and generated significant cultural discussion during their previous seasons.

Netflix positioned these releases strategically throughout 2025 to maintain consistent content flow. The spacing allows the platform to capitalize on audience anticipation while avoiding direct competition between their own major properties. All three shows will be available exclusively on Netflix. 

Ginny & Georgia just landed on Netflix, and already, before some can even check out all the episodes, fans online have quickly binged the entire season and are clamoring for answers on a potential new season.

Good news: Season 4 is a go. Confirmed by Netflix itself — can’t get more official than that. In fact, in Feb., the renewal had already confirmed that the show will be back for at least one more season. Ginny & Georgia is already one of their best-performing titles — and now climbing to just best overall.

Creator of the series Sarah Lampert was the first one with the good news for fans, with a post that showed a Zoom call screenshot of the writers’ room. The caption of the photo read: “First day of the season 4 writer’s room!!! Based on today alone, season 4 is going to be a RIDE.”

In the comments of the post were fans showing relief that that means they probably won’t have to wait long for a new season. One commented, “Oh thank god ur already on to season 4 we won’t have to wait too long this time.” Which is certainly a worry, considering shows these days have disappointed fans with multiple-year waits just for a season with a short 9 episodes. But considering this news — and the run of shows like The Bear being closely knit — we might truly finally be back.

There’s no official release date as of this moment. But if you look at Season 3—which ends on one of the show’s biggest cliffhangers yet — it’s clear Ginny & Georgia is hitting its high gears with no intention of slowing down. It wouldn’t be shocking if Season 4 is right around the corner. The cat’s out of the bag now: Georgia might be pregnant! This sets up some big mysteries for Season 4 that go far beyond the pregnancy itself. Is it Paul? Or is it the beloved Joe?

On social media, there are already reactions that split the discussion into two; some fans are claiming that the show has always been about how Joe was Georgia’s one true love all along. Some fans can’t get enough of how he looks. There’s a lot of love for Joe. But Paul has his stans too. Some fans are even casting spells — no, literally.

Casting a spell that Georgia and Paul make it through season 3 still together in the end!! pic.twitter.com/jKsZd6ZsrX

Season 4 will no doubt majorly focus on Georgia’s love triangle. The stakes are now raised as high as possible. But the kids went through a tough time too. Marcus ended the season being sent to rehab. The fans want him to get better, obviously. But there are also some lingering issues there with Max. The show will probably dig into that sibling betrayal. The entire cast of the show will be busy for the season.

Everything is pointing toward the supposition that Ginny & Georgia can’t afford a 2-year break this time around. The suspense can only hold in fans’ minds for so long before they find something else to care about. And we haven’t even mentioned Ginny. Throughout the entire season, she’s been getting involved in more and more morally grey decisions to protect Georgia. And Ginny is also separating with Georgia to spend time with Zion.

The season will have so much to bite and so many shifted dynamics and loyalties. And the kids are also finally coming to their own.

If there’s one thing the internet agrees on, it’s this: we’re all a little too obsessed with emotionally unavailable teenage boys in TV dramas. Case in point? A viral X post that’s got Ginny & Georgia season 3 fans absolutely losing it over their favorite “depressed lover boy” characters.

In the post, @lifesatamasha compares Marcus from Ginny & Georgia to Conrad from The Summer I Turned Pretty, writing: “conrad is exactly the long lost brother of marcus from ginny and georgia… what’s with me liking all of these depressed lover boys?? ” Comment showed up for the depressed lover boy flowers, one stating simply, “I love them both so much.” Same, bestie.

The post is paired with tearjerking screenshots of both characters giving devastatingly emotional monologues about how loving someone hurts too much because they don’t love themselves. Yes, we’re crying too.

Wait—what is “Ginny & Georgia” again?

For the uninitiated (where have you been?!), Ginny & Georgia is a coming-of-age Netflix dramedy that follows 15-year-old Ginny Miller and her 30-year-old mother, Georgia, as they settle in a picturesque New England town to escape Georgia’s mysterious, and let’s say… legally questionable, past.

The show balances teen angst, murder cover-ups, mental health struggles, and surprisingly sharp dialogue. Think Gilmore Girls meets Big Little Lies, but with more therapy and better lighting.

Marcus Baker, played by Felix Mallard, is Ginny’s brooding next-door neighbor and sometime-boyfriend. He spends most of his screen time staring out windows, playing guitar, and trying not to self-destruct—all while being painfully in love with Ginny. Basically, if you’ve ever said “I can fix him” out loud, Marcus is your guy.

So, what’s the deal with season 3?

Ginny & Georgia season 3 is streaming exclusively on Netflix. It picks up after the bombshell finale of season 2, where Georgia’s wedding turned into a full-blown police takedown (spoiler alert: murder charges were involved).

Meanwhile, Ginny and Marcus are very much not together—but the emotional wreckage is still lingering like an unspoken text. Fans are especially tuned in to how Marcus’s mental health journey evolves this season, with many praising the show for tackling depression and therapy in a raw, realistic way.

Why are fans obsessed with these sad boys?

Because we love pain, apparently! There’s a whole subculture online of fans who are drawn to emotionally tortured male leads. Marcus from Ginny & Georgia, Conrad from The Summer I Turned Pretty, and even Timothée Chalamet in, well, everything—these guys are damaged, vulnerable, and ridiculously hot. What’s not to love?

The viral post here (currently at over 7,800 views and counting) hit a nerve. The screenshots capture that perfect blend of heartbreak and hotness that defines the “depressed lover boy” trope—and the replies are filled with fans echoing the sentiment.

Where to watch and spiral emotionally

You can stream all three seasons of Ginny & Georgia now on Netflix. Just be prepared to sob over fictional teenagers and yell “JUST GO TO THERAPY” at your screen at least once per episode. Because in the end, Ginny & Georgia depressed lover boy energy is the real main character.

It’s safe to say Disney’s streaming output has been a mixed bag. For every excellent WandaVision and The Mandalorian we’ve gotten garbage like Secret Invasion and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Perhaps that’s why Disney Plus subscriber figures are in decline, from a high of around 170 million in late 2022 to just 125 million in the first quarter of 2025.

There are a whole bunch of reasons for this: Disney Plus subs took a hit when they lost the licence to broadcast cricket in India, there’s fiercer competition from other streaming services, a cost of living crisis and, simply, that the pandemic saw people trapped indoors with nothing to do, briefly boosting demand.

But, whatever the case, Disney certainly sounds gloomy about the future. One recent shining light for Disney Plus has been the critically acclaimed Star Wars hit Andor, now considered the best thing the franchise has seen since the original trilogy wrapped up with Return of the Jedi.

Showrunner Tony Gilroy has praised Disney and Lucasfilm for the “freedom” they gave him, essentially giving him an incredible $650 million budget for 24 episodes and letting him use that as he wished. The gamble paid off, but he’s now revealed that during the gap between seasons, Disney made a startling ission about their opinion on streaming.

Speaking at a at the ATX Television Festival last week, he recounted a meeting with a Disney higher-up who explained: “‘Streaming is dead, we don’t have the money we had before”. This led to arguments over Andor season 2, though Gilroy appears to have triumphed: “we fought hard about money, but they never cleaned anything up. That [freedom] comes with responsibilities.”

Cheaper shows incoming?

Saying that streaming is “dead” to Disney is quite the statement. As per their most recent filings, Disney’s total revenue for Q1 2025 was $24.7 billion, a 5% increase from Q1 2024. However, they also reveal that Disney Plus lost 0.7 million subscribers. Presumably, they have internal data that lets them make predictions for the future that paint a gloomy picture.

All of which means that we were probably lucky to get Andor and don’t expect any shows similar to it anytime soon. Belts are being tightened and budgets restricted, so anticipate shows that lean heavily on cheaper Volume-style CGI sets and have extremely safe narratives.
