Justin Hartley’s Colter Shaw spent all of Tracker Season 3 doing what he does best: driving that massive Airstream trailer across America, collecting reward money, and looking intensely brooding while doing it. But the CBS hit series saved its biggest emotional punch for the very end. The highly anticipated hour delivered exactly what fans wanted, high-stakes action, government conspiracies, and the return of Jensen Ackles as Russell Shaw. Yet, by the time the credits rolled, fans are left processing a major twist that changes everything for the upcoming fourth season. The Chrono Stasis Rescue and a Deadly Threat The final hour kicks off with Colter and Russell tracking down Chrono Stasis, a shady, off-the-grid government facility. They are on a mission to rescue two gifted children, Lola and Danny, who were kidnapped to serve as test subjects for a rogue psychological program. The chemistry between Hartley and Ackles remains the best asset of the series, providing a fun, bickering-brother dynamic that briefly hides the grim reality of their situation. Things get bloody fast when the brothers face off against Vickers, a ruthless contract killer hired to erase all evidence of the operation. Colter manages to get the kids and their handler, Dr. Serena Jukic, out of harm's way and safely into witness protection. It feels like a standard, successful Tuesday for America’s favorite reward seeker, but Tracker has always been more about family trauma than simple rescue missions. Pictured: Justin Hartley.

Russell’s Secret Deal Destroys the Brotherhood While Colter secures the perimeter, Russell corners McIntyre, the powerful man pulling the strings behind Chrono Stasis. Instead of a fistfight, McIntyre plays a psychological card. He hands Russell a heavily redacted, classified government file concerning their late father, Ashton Shaw. The file holds a dark, buried truth about what Ashton did to Colter when they were young boys. McIntyre offers a simple, cruel trade: Russell can burn the file to protect Colter from the psychological wreckage of the truth, but in exchange, Russell must walk away from his brother and handle "one last job" for the shadow organization. Russell takes the deal. To protect Colter’s sanity, he chooses to break his trust. In a heartbreaking move, Russell calls Reenie, begs her to make excuses for his sudden disappearance, and vanishes into the night without saying goodbye. Colter is left completely in the dark, believing his brother simply got spooked and ran off again. Setting the Stage for a Los Angeles Move in Season 4 The episode ends on a deceptive note of peace. Colter drives his trusty trailer to a new, isolated plot of land, declaring it his new home base. He reunites with John Keaton, who is fully recovered from his earlier injuries, and the two stand over Ashton Shaw’s old, battered truck. Colter vows to restore the vehicle, a metaphor for fixing his broken family history that feels deeply ironic given Russell’s massive secret. This ending sets up a fascinating shift for Tracker Season 4, which is confirmed to move its production and primary setting to Los Angeles. With Russell tied to a shadowy network and Colter heading to the West Coast, the central mystery of the Shaw family is far from resolved. What did you think of the twist? Did Russell make the right choice to protect Colter, or will this lie ruin their bond forever? Head over to the comments section below and let us know your theories for next season!

Grab your cowboy hats and pour a double shot of whiskey. The Marshals season 1 finale, titled "Wolves at the Door," just wrapped its freshman run on television. It did not just close the curtain. It ripped the whole wall down. For thirteen weeks, this neo-Western drama teased us with slow-burn family tension and shady land deals. But the final hour threw out the rulebook. The episode delivered massive gunfights, a betrayal that actually stung and enough unresolved plot points to keep fans screaming until season 2. If you spent the last hour trying to process that brutal ending, you are not alone. Here is how the final pieces of the puzzle fell apart. The Big Bad Cowboy Finally Stands Up All season long, we wondered who was pulling the strings behind the local mining war. The finale finally dropped the mask. Rich rancher Tom Weaver is the ultimate villain of the story. For months, Weaver played the part of the polite, wealthy neighbor. In reality, he ran the local crime ring. The revelation hit like a punch to the jaw, especially since everyone spent the whole season trying to play nice with him. The trouble peaked when Kayce Dutton officially refused to sell East Camp to Weaver. Weaver did not file a lawsuit. Instead, he sent a heavily armed militia to assassinate Chairman Thomas Rainwater. Shotguns, Ambushes, and Bitter Goodbyes What followed was a massive shootout at the cabin. Kayce and Mo managed to hold the line, but the real shocker came from upstairs. A mercenary broke into the bedroom to kill Rainwater. Young Tate Dutton saved the day by blasting the attacker with a shotgun. It was a dark, heavy moment for a kid, proving that nobody stays innocent for long on this show. Meanwhile, the team dynamics fractured completely: Andrea Cruz quit the team to take a desk job in Washington D.C. Miles got reinstated to light duty after his suspension. Pictured: Luke Grimes. Photo: Fred Hayes/CBS ©2025 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved. The Final Cliffhangers The writers chose pure cruelty for the final five minutes. While checking out a dead body on a remote road, Cal and Belle were ambushed. Weaver’s foreman and two gunmen opened fire on the Marshals. The screen cut away leaving us wondering their fate. To make things worse, Tate is currently on a private plane for a fishing trip with Tom Weaver. The hitman walked up to the plane, looked Weaver in the eye, and said, "It's done." Tate is now thousands of feet in the air with the man who just tried to murder his entire family. To round out the misery, Kayce ended the episode on a romantic horse ride with Dolly Weaver. Yes, he is dating the daughter of the man trying to destroy his life. The Verdict The first season of this show had some pacing issues, but "Wolves at the Door" proved the writers know how to stick a landing. The episode gave heavy action with genuine emotional stakes, even if the sheer number of cliffhangers felt a bit greedy. The Duttons are broken, the Marshals are bleeding in a ditch, and a child is trapped with a psychopath. Season 2 has a massive mess to clean up and we will be right here waiting for it. Head over to our comments section and let us know your theories. Will Cal and Belle survive the highway ambush? How will Kayce react when he finds out about Weaver? Drop your predictions below.

The 1980s television industry has never looked more ridiculous or more delicious. In the latest installment of Corinium Television’s ongoing battle for dominance, Rivals Season 2 Episode 4 delivers a sharp mix of high culture and low morals. Centered around a live broadcast of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night's Dream, the hour turns the bard's classic comedy into a backdrop for real-world relationship wreckage. From secret hookups to sudden typecasting, this episode proves that the drama behind the cameras easily eclipses whatever is happening on screen. The Play's the Thing (To Steal a Wife) Tony Baddingham (David Tennant) continues his run as the ultimate puppet master. His latest scheme involves casting Maud O'Hara (Victoria Smurfit) as Titania. It is a calculated move designed to exploit the widening cracks in her marriage to Declan. As Declan fails to offer a shred of support, Tony happily steps into the vacuum. The live television production goes off the rails early when James (Oliver Chris) knocks himself out cold in a studio backroom. This opens the door for Charles to step into the role of Bottom, delivering a surprisingly poignant performance that leaves the elite audience in tears. Secrets in the Pool House While the cultural elite pretends to enjoy theatre, Lizzie (Katherine Parkinson) and Freddie Jones (Danny Dyer) find a much more active way to pass the time. Their long-simmering tension boils over into a full-blown tryst in Freddie’s pool house. The romance hits a swift reality check when Freddie's daughter, Sharon, walks in. This forces Lizzie to submerge herself like a submarine to avoid discovery. The near-miss scares Lizzie straight. By the end of the evening, she breaks things off with Freddie, realizing that their little slice of suburban rebellion will destroy too many lives if it continues. Custody Battles and Unexpected Sparks Rupert Campbell-Black is also forced to show his cards this week. His ex-wife (Hayley Atwell) crashes the party to demand custody of their children. Surprisingly, the emotional weight of the evening actually gets under Rupert's thick skin, revealing a rare glimpse of a caring father beneath the playboy exterior. Meanwhile, the afterparty sets up the next wave of corporate and personal scandal. Tony’s perpetually ignored wife, Monica, shares a loaded interaction with board member Dame Enid Spink, hinting at a quiet romance that could shake up the Baddingham household next week. The Verdict Rivals Season 2 Episode 4 keeps the show's signature momentum alive by balancing corporate backstabbing with genuine emotional consequences. For more deep dives, exclusive cast interviews, and weekly television reviews, keep your eyes locked on The TV Cave. What did you think of Lizzie's quick exit from the affair? Is Tony finally going too far? Drop your theories in the comments below!

Daytime TV just lost one of its biggest personalities. In case you missed it, Sherri officially ended its run last week. The final episode aired on Thursday May 21, wrapping up four seasons of celebrity gossip, wig reveals and high-energy monologues. While the news might come as a shock to some, the cancellation says a lot about the current state of syndication. The ending was a mix of tears, famous friends, and a sudden reminder of how brutal the television business can be. The Big Finale: Tears, Tributes, and Famous Friends For her final hour, Shepherd did not hold back on the star power. Her best friend, Niecy Nash, took the couch as the final guest. Comedian Michelle Buteau also stopped by to inject some humor into what was otherwise a pretty heavy week. But the real highlights came from the pre-recorded video messages. When Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry pop up on screen just to say goodbye to you, you know you did something right. Shepherd delivered a tearful final monologue, thanking her crew and her fans. It was sweet, emotiona and just a little bit dramatic. After the cameras stopped rolling, she even posted a bittersweet video on her Instagram, walking through her empty studio and packing up her bags. Why Did 'Sherri' Get the Axe? Now for the real question: why is this show gone? If you ask the syndication executives, they will tell you it is not about the numbers. The show's distributor, Debmar-Mercury, openly stated that the cancellation had nothing to do with bad ratings or Shepherd's performance. Instead, they blamed a shifting, difficult daytime market. Translation? Daytime TV is getting too expensive to make and local stations are changing how they buy shows. It is a tough pill to swallow. Usually, when a talk show dies, we can blame a bad host or behind-the-scenes drama. In this case, Shepherd actually did her job well. She kept her viewers happy, but the television industry moved the goalposts anyway. What Is Next for the Host? Do not cry for Sherri Shepherd just yet. She is already moving on to her next chapters. She is returning to her roots in stand-up comedy, starring in a new Lifetime movie and even releasing a romance book titled Life Is a K Drama. She will be fine, even if our mornings are going to be a lot quieter. Ultimately, the end of Sherri marks the conclusion of a very specific era of daytime fun. She stepped into the slot left behind by Wendy Williams and managed to carve out her own space. It was a good run, even if the TV business cut it short. What did you think of the finale? Will you miss her morning monologues, or were you already watching something else? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and keep checking back with The TV Cave for more!

Dust off your musical thinking caps and prepare your ears for more aggressive buzzer-slapping. Fox has officially given the green light to another round of musical trivia; Celebrity Name That Tune is renewed for Season 6. The network is slotting the star-studded guessing game right into its upcoming prime-time schedule. The renewal keeps the network's favorite musical game show alive for the fall lineup. It will anchor a night of trivia, airing on Mondays at 8/7c. To make matters even more intense for couch-potato critics, it will lead directly into Celebrity Weakest Link. This sets up a full block of famous faces trying very hard to prove they possess basic pop-culture knowledge. The Band Stays Together While the network is keeping the specific contestant roster under wraps, the core of the show remains intact. Jane Krakowski is set to return to her hosting duties. She brings her signature theatrical energy and just the right amount of theater-kid intensity to the podium. Alongside her, Randy Jackson will once again hold down the piano bench as band leader. Jackson ensures that the melodies stay sharp and the celebrities stay focused. The format is staying exactly the same. Two notable names from Hollywood, sports, or reality television will go head-to-head in a race against the clock. They will try to identify hit songs based on brief, bare-bones instrumental snippets. As always, the stakes are relatively high for a good cause. The stars are playing for a chance to win up to $100,000 for their chosen charities. This detail nicely offsets the embarrassment of failing to recognize a top-forty hit from five years ago. Why The Show Keeps Striking A Chord Television programmers love cheap, repeatable entertainment. Viewers happen to love watching B-list actors completely blank on the chorus of a song they have heard a thousand times. The show thrives on this exact tension. It offers a mix of genuine nostalgia and mild secondhand embarrassment. It is the television equivalent of comfort food. You do not have to think too hard, and you can yell the answers at your screen while the folks on stage sweat under the studio lights. For a network looking to fill airtime without breaking the bank on expensive scripted dramas, keeping this musical staple around is an easy win. It delivers reliable ratings, social media clips of actors singing poorly, and a format that anyone can follow after a long day at work. Where To Watch Next Season When the new episodes drop, viewers can tune in live on Fox every Monday night. For the cord-cutters who prefer to do their musical guessing on their own time, episodes will be available to stream the following day on Hulu. The countdown to the premiere is officially on. We will see which stars actually know their music history and which ones should probably stick to their day jobs. What do you think about the renewal news? Who is your dream celebrity contestant for the new season? Let us know in the comments below, and stick around The TV Cave for more television reviews, previews, and exclusive star interviews!

The revolving door of daytime drama just claimed another major casualty. Kate Mansi is leaving General Hospital, walking away from her three-year run as Kristina Corinthos-Davis. According to exclusive reporting by Soap Opera Network, the Daytime Emmy-winning actress chose not to renew her contract. She has already packed up her dressing room at Prospect Studios and filmed her final scenes. For viewers who finally grew accustomed to Mansi in the role, this exit bites. Taking over an established character is never easy. Mansi stepped into Kristina’s combat boots in 2023, replacing longtime fan favorite Lexi Ainsworth. Just as the audience started accepting her spin on the character, she decided to punch her timecard. Why is Kate Mansi Leaving Port Charles? Contract negotiations in daytime television are always a gamble and this time, the house lost. Mansi simply opted to look for new opportunities rather than signing on the dotted line for more years in Port Charles. The internet, being the internet, immediately flooded social media with wild rumors. Fans speculated about everything from surprise pregnancies to sudden health crises. While Mansi has been incredibly open about her real-life battle with endometriosis, even making her directing debut on a special General Hospital episode dedicated to the condition, the behind-the-scenes reality is strictly business. She wanted to move on, so she did. When is Her Final Air Date? ABC has not released an exact calendar date for Mansi's final broadcast. However, the soap opera world runs on a strict schedule. General Hospital typically films its episodes about six to eight weeks in advance. Because she has already wrapped up her time on set, viewers can expect to see her final episodes hit the screen sometime this summer. What This Means for Kristina Corinthos-Davis The timing of this departure leaves the writers in a tight spot. Kristina is currently in the middle of a massive downward spiral. After cutting the brakes on Ric Lansing's car, she accidentally injured both him and Elizabeth Baldwin. It is the kind of mess that usually requires months of screaming matches and courtroom drama to resolve. The network remains completely silent on whether they plan to recast the role or simply send Kristina out of town on a very long vacation. Keeping a Corinthos kid off the canvas for long is tough, so a new face might be walking through the door sooner rather than later. Head over to our comments section to share your thoughts. Should the show recast Kristina, or is it time to give the character a rest?

Grab your sunscreen and get ready to run in super slow motion. The very first Baywatch teaser trailer has officially washed ashore and it is bringing a wave of nostalgia with a side of family drama. Over the weekend, series star Stephen Amell took to Instagram to share a sneak peek of the upcoming Fox reboot. Armed with the tagline, "Same beach. New blood," the clip makes one thing very clear: the iconic lifeguards are back and they are still incredibly good-looking. For a generation that grew up on the sun-drenched beaches of Malibu, news of a reboot might cause a bit of hesitation. After all, the original series was a global phenomenon built on a very specific recipe of high-stakes rescues, neon swimwear, and dramatic beach runs. Can a modern version capture that same magic without turning into a total joke? Judging by the initial footage, the new series knows exactly what it is and it is leaning hard into the past while trying to build a future. Hobie Buchannon Is the New Captain in Charge Stephen Amell is not playing a random new character. Instead, he is stepping into the sandals of Hobie Buchannon, the son of Mitch Buchannon, famously played by David Hasselhoff in the original run. Hobie has grown up, moved up the ranks and is now the official Captain of Baywatch. Amell seems perfectly cast for the role, bringing the same athletic intensity he showed in Arrow, just with a lot less clothing. In the teaser, Amell shows off his toned physique while sprinting down the sand with a rescue buoy. He even poked fun at the franchise's most famous trope on social media, captioning his post with, "I dream in slow motion." But being the boss of the beach is not going to be easy. The plot centers on a massive surprise for Hobie: a daughter he never knew existed shows up on his doorstep. The daughter, Charlie, is played by Jessica Belkin. To make things even more complicated for the new Captain, Charlie wants to follow in the family footsteps and become a lifeguard. The teaser shows a quick shot of Belkin rushing across the sand with a rescue board, proving that the lifeguard gene definitely runs in the family. Famous Faces and Influencers Join the Cast While Amell and Belkin handle the central family drama, the rest of the beach is populated by a mix of models, social media stars and returning favorites. The producers are clearly aiming for a mix of modern star power and old-school nostalgia. The teaser offers quick, dramatic glimpses of the new supporting cast: Brooks Nader: The model stars as Selene and is seen walking down a dark dock at night, looking appropriately intense. Livvy Dunne: The sports influencer plays Grace, captured in the trailer staring out at the ocean in the signature firehouse-red swimsuit. Courtesy of Fox What to Expect From the Production Team Bringing Baywatch back to the small screen requires a delicate balance. It needs to honor the cheesy fun of the 1980s and 1990s while updating the storytelling for today's viewers. Luckily, the creative team behind the camera has plenty of experience with high-energy television. The hour-long drama series is spearheaded by Matt Nix, the creator behind the hit show Burn Notice. Nix is known for creating shows that bring action and humor which feels like a great fit for a lifeguard drama. Furthermore, the original creators of the 1989 series are on board as executive producers, ensuring the show does not stray too far from its roots. Fox has ordered a 12-episode first season, giving the writers enough time to build a real story beyond just the weekly rescues. When and Where to Watch the Reboot The countdown to the beach premiere has officially started. The new Baywatch series is scheduled to debut in late January 2027. Fox is placing the show in its midseason lineup, aiming to heat up the cold winter months with plenty of California sunshine. For those who prefer to watch on their own schedule, the episodes will also stream on Hulu the day after. What do you think of the first look at the new Hobie Buchannon? Are you excited to return to the beach, or should some classics stay in the past? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and stay tuned to The TV Cave for more updates, cast interviews, and episode recaps as we get closer to the 2027 premiere! Feeling nostalgic for the original. Check out how to stream below:

I recently watched The Devil Wears Prada 2, and honestly, I wasn't impressed at all. The movie starts off by setting up an interesting idea about social media taking over magazines and changing the fashion industry, but it never fully commits to that storyline. Instead, the film introduces multiple plotlines that either go nowhere or are forgotten about completely by the end. Emily Charlton also doesn’t feel like a natural antagonist for the story, while most of the returning characters don’t really develop at all. They mostly repeat the same traits and character beats from the original film rather than evolving in meaningful ways. Another major issue is how messy the pacing feels. The film constantly changes locations in almost every scene, which becomes incredibly jarring and makes the story hard to follow properly. It feels like the writers had too many ideas they wanted to include and ended up losing focus on what the movie was actually supposed to be about. Technically, the film does look beautiful, and I won’t criticise it too heavily on that side since it was clearly designed as a cinematic release. However, the story itself feels so weak and unfocused that at times it honestly comes across more like a straight-to-streaming sequel than a major theatrical event. Performance-wise, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci all slide naturally back into their iconic roles, but none of them truly stand out this time around. Justin Theroux’s performance unfortunately didn’t work for me at all and I found him horribly miscast, almost as if he was only added to give the sequel another recognisable name. What made the original Devil Wears Prada work so well was how it balanced prestige drama with chick-flick charm while still telling a genuinely strong story. This sequel had the potential to say something meaningful about how social media has overtaken magazines as the dominant source of influence and information, but the film never fully explores that idea and completely fails to commit to its themes. Overall, while it’s visually stylish and nostalgic to see these actors return, the weak storytelling and unfocused direction make The Devil Wears Prada 2 one of the biggest disappointments of the year for me. Rating: 6/10 3/5 stars

This week on Beyond The Gates, the Cotillion begins, the plasma ring comes to an explosive head, and someone meets fatal consequences. I don’t want to give too much away, but this week was good. Really good. I’ll be hitting the overarching storylines that dominated the week. Let’s discuss. Cotillion Cotillion preparation begins at Nicole’s, where Chelsea helps the girls and June with their makeup while Eva does their hair. I must say, the hair and makeup were done nicely. The ladies sip champagne and talk about Cotillions' past, and honestly, it was nice to have family scenes like this. Kat and Eva side-eye each other, and Nicole reminds Kat that the night is about Samantha, not rivalries that should have died months ago. Eva gives Samantha words of encouragement as she helps her prepare for the ball. The scenes were sweet, and I know a lot of haters will say it was about Eva, but I beg to differ. The Cotillion was centered on the Duprees, as it should be. Eva was giving up her birthday to help, and Sam gave her a birthday gift to show her appreciation. It is customary for the Debs to walk down the stairs of the Dupree mansion as their pre-introduction. We got to see Bill remembering Naomi’s coming out, while Chelsea, just like her mother, chose not to participate because her modeling career was her focus. Andre is both the photographer and videographer of the night. Samantha comes down the stairs looking beautiful, and he captures the moment. The Cotillion kicks off, but not without a few bumps. Ms. Imogene is sick, and the others who usually host the Cotillion are unable to do so. Anita has an idea: Kat and Chelsea can host alongside Nicole and Dani. It was a nice touch. Behind the scenes, Samantha worries because her date has yet to arrive. Chessie throws shade because of course she does. Kat and Chelsea begin introducing the Debs, and when Samantha is called, Chessie trips her. Thankfully, Donnell is there just in time to offer his hand. About five girls are introduced. Nathan is there as Chessie’s date, proving once again that he is a piece of garbage. Jessica makes her debut with an extra dip in her hip, which embarrasses her stuffy parents, who seem to dislike Tyrell for no real reason right out of the gate. The teens do the waltz, and it is fabulous. They even get to put their own little spin on it. When it is time to announce who won Platinum Deb, Deanna makes the announcement, but something looks strange. The decision apparently came down to a peer vote. It looks like Chessie won, which Dani immediately cannot believe, but Anastasia makes a big show of demanding that Chessie be crowned. Then Donnell finds the real card in Nathan’s pocket. Nathan has been drinking and gets escorted out. Samantha wins Platinum Deb, keeping the Dupree tradition intact. Tyrell isn’t around to see his sister get the crown because he is too busy sneaking off with Jessica to lose his V-card. Deanna notices that Donnell isn’t wearing Doug’s cufflinks but someone else’s. Donnell gives a cover, but dim Vanessa says the cufflinks were from Joey. Now why would she trigger her daughter like that? Did she think cufflinks would suddenly make Deanna accept him? No. It sent Deanna reeling. The Plasma Ring It is about to go down. A big shipment is coming in, and the big boss is going to be there. Ren tells Jacob to be on his best behavior. Meanwhile, Derek catches Grayson stealing plasma from the clinic because that makes a lot of sense. A free clinic storing plasma? Anyway, Grayson tells him the truth, but Derek isn’t buying it. Grayson says Ashley is in danger and that if he doesn’t make the delivery, it could be curtains for her. Derek lets him go, but follows him. At the warehouse, things appear to be in order. Jacob tries to keep his head down because Lia is there. Soon, she asks him to lift his hat, and when he does, she folds like a pretzel. She says she was forced into it. Blah, blah. Ren gets a call from someone at the prosecutor’s office telling him there is a rat in his crew. This prompts him to demand that Jacob kill Grayson. Jacob turns the gun on Ren and tells him he is under arrest. One of Ren’s men sneaks up on Jacob, but Derek sees him and jumps in the way, taking the bullet. Chaos ensues, and by the end of it, Derek loses his life and Ashley makes it all about her. The Aftermath Dull Ashley continues to make Derek’s death about her. She blames Grayson and acts like she and Derek were some great love story when she could barely stand him and gaslit him most of the time they were together. He warned her about Grayson, and she called him obsessed, so please spare me the glycerin tears. This storyline only proves what a horrible character she is. Ren vows to get revenge and tells Jacob that it isn’t over because the Impaler is still out there. I truly hate that name. Naomi serves as Ashley’s support person, as though she hasn’t had her own traumatic experience. I won’t hop on my soapbox yet, but I am beginning to wonder if this is a soap about the Duprees or if I’ve been had. Kat and Tomas talk about Lia, and Tomas belittles her as always. Vanessa joins them and trash-talks Deanna, who overhears. Instead of owning up to it, Vanessa gaslights her. Kat gives Deanna bad advice, but of course she does, because it will let Vanessa off the hook. We end on a cliffhanger: Deanna sees Doug. And while I would love for it to be real, I know it is a mere hallucination. Weekly Wrap Because the Cotillion exceeded my expectations, I won’t go in on the flaws this week. Well, not too much. There is one thing I want to discuss, and it involves the focus on Ashley again. It is the kind of focus no Dupree woman has received, and it is beginning to stink of favoritism. It also makes me wonder if this show is truly for who they said it was for in the beginning. Still, I will give credit where credit is due because I fully expected the Cotillion to happen at the country club while everyone merely talked about it. Instead, the show actually gave us the Cotillion, and it was magnificent. That is what I am talking about. Though we missed out on some of the prep and build-up, they gave us glam, ballroom, waltz, presentation, and tradition. I enjoyed every moment. The plasma climax was also good. Finally. However, I do not think Derek should have been the one to die. He had potential with several actresses on canvas, and once he was free of Ashley, he shined. Personally, Ashley or Grayson could have gone, and I would not have cared. This week was the best the show has been in a long time. I hope they continue to keep up the momentum, but I don’t expect that to happen.

What Everyone Will Be Talking About Tomorrow Euphoria Is Hiding Something Whenever HBO refuses to release details for an episode, it usually means one of two things: someone’s life is about to implode, or the internet is about to spend 48 hours screaming in all caps. With only one episode left after tonight, expect emotional damage, questionable decisions and at least one scene people will immediately turn into memes. Bravo Said “No Peace Tonight” Between The Real Housewives of Atlanta and The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, Bravo fans are eating well tonight. Sound baths, trivia night disasters and relationship chaos? Sunday night reality TV remains undefeated. CBS Has Finale Fever Both Marshals and Tracker wrap up their seasons tonight, meaning viewers should probably prepare for cliffhangers, surprise reveals and at least one ending designed to make fans angrily wait all summer. Rick and Morty Returns to the Weirdness Season 9 officially launches tonight, and Adult Swim’s aggressively bizarre promo already feels perfectly on brand. If the premiere is anything like the marketing, expect interdimensional nonsense dialed all the way up. The TV Cave Pick of the Night If you only watch one thing tonight, make it Tracker. The CBS hit has quietly become one of network TV’s most reliable action-thrillers, and the Season 3 finale sounds like it’s going big. Secret research projects, missing victims and Colter doing Colter things? That’s solid Sunday viewing. Still, if chaos is more your speed, the Housewives are standing by.

It only took Disney seven years of broken promises but our long national nightmare is finally over. Grab your favorite pizza scarf and get ready to do absolutely nothing. The Weekenders is coming to Disney+ and the 2000s kids are finally eating good. Disney announced the major news as part of its upcoming summer campaign. The classic animated series officially drops on the streaming service on May 25, 2026. For those keeping score at home, Disney actually teased this release all the way back when the app first launched in 2019. They then proceeded to ghost the fanbase for most of a decade. Now, the four best friends from Bahia Bay are back to teach a new generation how to properly waste a Friday night. Why This Animated Relic Still Holds Up For the uninitiated, The Weekenders was created by Doug Langdale and originally aired on ABC’s One Saturday Morning. The premise is beautifully simple. The show follows four middle school friends, Tino, Lor, Carver, and Tish as they navigate the perilous world of pre-teen life. But there is a catch that made the show legendary. The entire series takes place strictly between Friday afternoon and Sunday night. Most cartoons of the era kept characters trapped in the exact same clothes for decades. The Weekenders stood out because the characters actually changed outfits in every single episode. It gave the show a sense of style and realism that other shows lacked. The series also treated kids like actual humans. It dealt with real issues like divorced parents, cultural identity and the existential dread of a Monday morning math test. The Disney+ Episode Breakdown When you log into Disney+ this summer, the layout might look a little confusing. Here is what you need to know about the streaming format: Two Seasons, Not Four: The original television run was broadcast as four separate seasons. Disney+ is releasing the show in its original production order. This means the show will be listed as having two large seasons. The Full Collection: Do not panic about missing episodes. This release includes all 39 episodes of the series. The Ultimate Throwback Lineup: The show is dropping alongside other nostalgic goldmines, including the beloved film The Brave Little Toaster. The TV Cave Verdict: Worth the Nostalgia Trip? As TV critics, we usually tell you to temper your expectations when revisiting childhood favorites. Most animated shows from the turn of the millennium do not age gracefully. They are often loud, obnoxious and filled with outdated pop culture references. The Weekenders is the rare exception. The witty dialogue still crackles and the bond between the four leads feels incredibly authentic. It does not rely on cheap gags. Instead, it relies on sharp observational humor about how weird it feels to grow up. The show is a time capsule of a simpler era, wrapped in an iconic theme song performed by Wayne Brady. This release is a massive win for animation fans who have spent years signing internet petitions. Disney+ finally realized that people want more than just another superhero spin-off. Sometimes, we just want to watch four kids hang out at a pizza parlor that changes its theme every weekend. What was your favorite episode of the series?
