New relationships are formed, old relationships are challenged It’s been a long wait for Invasion fans. The season 2 finale aired almost two years ago, and it took Apple until last month to confirm the return date for season 3. Here’s what Apple had to say about the new season, when it dropped its

‘Blue Eye Samurai’ Season 2 Featurette Teases More Bloody Revenge in Mizu’s Future

At Anime NYC, Netflix gave viewers a first look at its slate of adult animated series on the horizon—including the second season of its sleek, action-packed Japanese revenge epic, Blue Eye Samurai. Co-created by husband and wife Amber Noizumi and Michael Green and animated by Blue Spirit Studio, Blue Eye Samurai is a 2023 animated series that dropped quietly on the streamer before blowing the minds of many viewers with its lavish art direction of period Japan and high-octane action.

Dante and Vergil Meet Again in ‘Devil May Cry’ Season 2 Teaser

With the rift machine destroyed in Devil May Cry season one, thanks to Dante (Johnny Yong Bosch), the demon hunter’s down-on-his-luck fate appeared to be turning around after being humanity’s salvation. That was, of course, until the shocking reveal that his brother was still alive. The latest teaser for the Adi Shankar and Netflix animated series drops more surprises for season two. Dante’s brother, Vergil (Robbie Daymond), is back, and this time he’s working with the demons after the defeat o

The Splinter Cell: Deathwatch animated series finally has a release date and a proper trailer, but Netflix already wants you to start thinking about what else it has coming down the pipeline. During this year’s Anime NYC convention, Netflix announced that Deathwatch is slated to debut on October 14th, and the series has added The San

'Peacemaker' Season 2: Steve Agee Teases 'Superman' Connection and 'Less Terrifying' Dance Number

Season 2 of Peacemaker, the first original TV series under the new DCU banner, is nearly here. It's been three-and-a-half years of waiting, and the new episode run kicks off on Thursday on HBO Max. I hope you're excited, because I sure am. The first season gave John Cena's helmet-wearing villain (previously seen in James Gunn's The Suicide Squad) the spotlight and, in turn, we watched Peacemaker -- also known as Chris Smith -- as he struggled with the bad decisions and abusive demons of his pas

BBC Boss Promises ‘Doctor Who’ Will Carry On—With or Without Disney

The end of Ncuti Gatwa‘s run as Doctor Who was confusing for multiple reasons. But beyond the “Wait, what’s Billie Piper doing here?” of that regeneration scene is a larger question about the show’s future. With no additional seasons scheduled, no updates on the BBC-Disney partnership that powered the Fifteenth Doctor’s seasons, and the most recent showrunner Russell T Davies distancing himself from any Who-related inquiries, fans have been left wondering if, not when, the show will return. Toda

Birds Across the World Are Singing All Day for a Disturbing Reason

If the songbirds in your neighborhood are waking you up earlier and chirping well into the evening, blame light pollution. Artificial light touches nearly every corner of Earth’s surface, and a new study shows that it’s messing with birds’ biological clocks. Researchers analyzed a global acoustic dataset of more than 60 million recorded birdsongs representing more than 580 diurnal bird species. The findings, published Thursday, August 21, in the journal Science, show that light pollution has pr

The Next Season of ‘Futurama’ Teases Slap-Happy Antics and a Giant Robot

The world may be reaching all-time levels of weirdness, but thank the Robot Devil, Futurama is still making new episodes. The oft-canceled and oft-revived series has found firm footing at Hulu and is trying a new trick with season 13: a binge release. All 10 episodes will be available at once come September 15, with a tantalizing glimpse at what to expect in a new rapid-fire trailer. The official season 13 summary, as expected, tells us nothing: “Bender is rampaging out of control! A volcano is

Google finally lets you customize icon shapes on your Pixel’s home screen

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR You can now customize icon shapes on your Pixel Launcher’s home screen. Android will give you five options. Including the default circle, there’s square, four-sided cookie, seven-sided cookie, and arch. These options are currently only available in the August 2025 Android Canary release, but we expect it won’t be long before they make their way into the QPR2 track. Hot off the heels of the Pixel 10 launch, Google unveiled a new Android Canary release.

Android finally lets you control your Pixel phone’s flashlight brightness

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Android has finally added native flashlight brightness controls from the Quick Settings panel. Google added support for controlling the flashlight brightness in Android 13, but there was no way to do so from Quick Settings. This feature is available in the latest August 2025 Android Canary release and may arrive in Android 16 QPR2. If you’re looking for something under a couch, bed, or other dimly lit area, then your phone’s built-in flashlight will c

John Cena Digs Into Peacemaker’s Big ‘Suicide Squad’ Kill

Season two of Peacemaker will finally have Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) coming in hot for Chris Smith (John Cena) to exact revenge over the death of his son. Killing his squad leader, Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad was a moment that made Peacemaker irredeemable before being hilariously unpacked in season one of the HBO Max show, which centered the antihero’s mistake as something that broke him—that and the bullet Bloodsport (Idris Elba) put through his neck. In an

Google’s not done yet, with a new Android Canary release arriving for testers

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR Google started its Android Canary program earlier this summer. So far that’s meant a new Canary release on roughly a monthly cadence. Today Android Canary 2508 has landed for users interested in trying it out. Google, you do know that other days of the week exist, right? Because so far this Wednesday, Google has been getting stuff done like it’s planning to shut down operation at the end of the day ahead of a nice, long four-day weekend. A few hours ba

Plague Case Confirmed Near Lake Tahoe After Likely Flea Bite

A California resident has tested positive for the plague after camping near Lake Tahoe, local health officials confirmed. It’s the latest in a string of positive cases in the western U.S. this year. The infected person was likely bitten by a plague-infected flea in the South Lake Tahoe area, according to local health officials. This is the first local case in the area since 2020. The person is currently recovering and is undergoing medical treatment at home. “Plague is naturally present in man

‘The Penguin’ Team Had Talks About Bringing in Robert Pattinson’s Batman

Almost a year has passed since audiences were first exposed to HBO’s The Penguin, and to call it a success would be an understatement. The show didn’t just find fans among critics and audiences alike; everyone involved has been swimming in awards ever since, with its recent 24 Emmy nominations being the latest. And yet, before its release, many were skeptical of the show. Why would we want to see this story? And did it make sense to do a Batman villain story without Batman himself? To that last

The ‘Shin Godzilla’ Black-and-White Version Is Finally Getting a U.S. Theatrical Release

While we wait for news on what’s to come in the wake of Godzilla Minus One‘s massive success, this summer has seen the resurgence of Toho’s prior Godzilla reimagining in Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi’s Shin Godzilla. It got a whole new wave of reappraisal as it stomped back into theaters last week with a brand new 4K remaster—and now, to celebrate its success, and much like Minus One did before it, the movie’s extending its theatrical return with a new black-and-white remastering.

Apple TV+ reveals darker, cutthroat return of The Morning Show in new trailer

One of the longest running hits for Apple TV+, The Morning Show, is returning soon with season 4. And the new trailer reveals a darker turn coming for the series. The Morning Show season 4 trailer debuts ahead of September return When Apple TV+ launched in 2019, its biggest flagship series was The Morning Show, headlined by stars Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Steve Carrell. Now six years later, The Morning Show remains one of Apple’s most popular series, and its star-studded cast k

'Peacemaker' Season 2: When to Watch the Return of James Gunn's DCU Series

Peacemaker is back for season 2, and it only took three and a half years to get here. John Cena once again suits up as the titular hero who is struggling to squash his toxic past while looking for where he may actually fit in the DCU superhero sphere. But for those who remember The Suicide Squad, the man in the odd helmet (whose civilian name is Chris Smith), made an unsavory choice -- and it's still haunting him to this day. It makes you wonder: If a pocket dimension existed in your closet, wo

White Noise Makes Beer Brew Faster, Scientists Claim

Music can make people do things faster, with running, dancing, and doing chores being good examples. It seems, however, that we’re not alone in picking up the pace at the sound of a good tune. Researchers have discovered that playing a sound commonly known as white noise can shorten fermentation—arguably the most important step in brewing beer—by 21 to 31 hours, without markedly changing the flavor. This could help breweries increase beer production without diminishing quality. How sound chang

The 50 Best Shows on Hulu Right Now (August 2025)

While Netflix seemingly led the way for other streaming networks to create compelling original programming, Hulu actually beat them all to the punch. In 2011, a year before Netflix’s Lilyhammer and two years before the arrival of House of Cards, the burgeoning streamer premiered The Morning After, a pop-culture-focused news show that ran for 800 episodes over three years. Hulu has continued to make TV history in the years since, most notably in 2017 when it became the first streamer to win an E

Fallout S2 teaser brings us to New Vegas

Prime Video has dropped an extended teaser for the much-anticipated second season of Fallout, widely considered to be among the best TV adaptations of a gaming franchise. In our 2024 year-end roundup, Ars senior editor Samuel Axon wrote that the first season gave us "a specific cocktail of tongue-in-cheek humor, sci-fi campiness, strong themes, great characters, and visceral violence [that] came together into a fantastic show." The second season looks like it will bring us more of the same, alon
