WWE Raw – Netflix – January 6, 2025
Image Credit: WWE / Netflix WWE Raw is kicking off a new era on January 6 when the show makes its debut on Netflix at its new home, Los Angeles’ newly built Intuit Dome. New live weekly programming for 52 weeks a year are at the center of the WWE/Netflix partnership.
Talent and special guest stars to appear include John Cena, undisputed WWE champion Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, CM Punk and Bianca Belair to name a few.
Confirmed matches include Liv Morgan facing off against Rhea Ripley, with the former defending her title in a Last Woman Standing match; Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa in a Tribal Combat match; and in the main event, CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins.
In a surprise reveal, Becky Lynch is expected to make her big return to the ring after eight months of being away. All the signs are there: Lynch recently attended a media event and spoke to Deadline alongside her husband Rollins, and she appeared in a new trailer tied to the January 6 premiere. At our chat, Lynch was mum about a possible return, but things are pointing towards the possibility.
The return of Cena is notable as he’s taking his final lap before retirement. Billed as a “special appearance,” it’s not clear if he could flex some moves against anyone in the ring in the premiere episode. Regardless, he is sure to be welcomed like a king.
One thing fans can bank on is seeing a performance by WWE superfan Travis Scott playing an all new Raw theme song.

‘Severance’ Season 2 – Apple TV+ – January 17, 2025
Image Credit: Apple TV+ With more than two years between the release of Apple TV+’s Severance Season 2 and the first season, things might be fuzzy in some viewers’ memories, but the science fiction thriller series took off for a reason. Starring Adam Scott as Mark Scout, the show explores an extreme version of a work-life balance with certain employees at Lumon Industries undergoing a surgical procedure that severs their work brain from their out-of-work brain. Employees that work on the severed floor go in to work and essentially became a different person while they complete their assignments before reverting back to their outer-world selves, with no recollection of what they do for work.
RELATED: ‘Severance’ Season 2: Everything We Know So Far
Directed by Ben Stiller and created by Dan Erickson, Season 2 of Severance will hopefully provide some answers to big questions, like what exactly it is that Macro Data Refinement sorts through when they box numbers, if the trailer is anything to go by.

Image Credit: Apple TV+ “I got into this because I love movies, but now I have this fear that my job is to ruin them,” Seth Rogen says in the trailer for the Apple TV+ comedy series The Studio, which looks like an update to Robert Altman’s The Player for a generation born closer to the launch of Freaks and Geeks.
Rogen stars as the newly appointed boss of an embattled movie studio, which will likely feel recognizable to a swathe of L.A. residents. Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz and Chase Sui Wonders also star, with the likes of Bryan Cranston, Martin Scorsese, Anthony Mackie and Charlize Theron making appearances in the Lionsgate-produced series.

‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Season 6 – Hulu – 2025
Image Credit: Hulu The dark skies over Gilead are getting ready to storm as Hulu tees up The Handmaid’s Tale sixth and final season in 2025.
When last we saw June Osbourne (Elisabeth Moss), she was rushing out of Toronto with her husband Luke (O-T Fagbenle) and their daughter Nichole for safety. The family found themselves in hot water after Luke caused the death of a Gileadean who ran over June’s arm while driving a truck and meant to cause further harm. Knowing June would never agree to escape without him, Luke tricked her into taking the next train to Vancouver with Nichole as he was arrested by police.
RELATED: ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’: First Look At Sixth & Final Season
It happened so fast; June didn’t have an extra second to react. Confused and upset by this latest separation, June takes a brief second to be grateful she was at least with her youngest child. Her brief moment of peace was interrupted when a baby onboard begins to cry. She is left breathless when she unexpectedly reunites with Serena Waterford (Yvonne Strahovski), who is on the same journey with her weepy son Noah.
The new season will tie up many loose ends and will no doubt lead June back to Gilead. With Luke in prison and Nick Blaine (Max Minghella) in a similar circumstance or worse back in Gilead for punching Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford), June won’t stop until she has her eldest Hannah back in her custody.
Oh, and there’s still that pesky conversation to be had about the brutal slaying of Fred Waterford (Joseph Fiennes).

‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Season 3 – Prime Video – Summer 2025
Image Credit: Courtesy of Prime Video The most-likely conclusion to Prime Video’s young adult television sensation The Summer I Turned Pretty. Season 3 will arrive at some point in the summer of 2025. It will have been two years since Season 2 rocked the boat as Belly Conklin (Lola Tung) jumped ship to be with the other Fisher brother, Jeremiah (Gavin Caselegno), after pining for his older brother Conrad (Christopher Briney) ever since she started spending summers at their house in Cousins Beach.
Season 2 also saw Belly’s family and the Fisher boys adjust to the reality without the boys’ mother, Susannah Fisher (Rachel Blanchard), whose cancer returned after she beat it the first time. Because their mothers became best friends in college, the Cousins Beach house was Belly and her brother Steven’s (Sean Kaufman) second home, and the second season saw them defend it from Susannah’s sister Julia (Kyra Sedgwick).
Viewers can look forward to more love triangle chaos — an expanded season of 11 episodes, in fact — as well as a stacked soundtrack of needle drops from artists like Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Japanese Breakfast, Beyoncé, Olivia Rodrigo and more.

‘Wednesday’ Season 2 – Netflix – 2025
Image Credit: Getty Images / Netflix Though not much has been revealed about Netflix’s Wednesday for Season 2, executive producers Al Gough and Miles Millar promise “darker and more complex” episodes as the titular character (Jenna Ortega) continues her studies at Nevermore Academy in 2025.
Season 1 didn’t dive into her famous Addams family members too much, but her mom Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones), father Gomez (Luis Guzman) and brother Pugsley (Isaac Ordoñez) are said to appear more in Season 2 as the show explores the family’s history. This could potentially open up an opportunity to meet more wacky members from the family’s tree and the return of Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen).
RELATED: ‘Wednesday’ Season 2: Everything We Know About The Cast, Premiere Date & More
The biggest buzz about the show’s sophomore year has been around the casting of Lady Gaga, who will play a mystery character yet to be revealed. And really, could anyone go wrong with writing a role for the superstar within the Wednesday universe?
Further castings will be revealed at a future date. However, returning cast includes Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair, Wednesday’s BFF and a werewolf; Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay, a siren and Wednesday’s former enemy turned friend; Moosa Mostafa as Eugene Ottinger, Wednesday’s bee-loving classmate; Georgie Farmer as Ajax Petropolus; and Victor Dorobantu as the handy Thing.
Last season, Nevermore Academy fell under the threat of one Marilyn Thornhill, or Laurel Gates (Christina Ricci), who manipulated Hunter Doohan’s character Tyler, a thought-to-be-normie human boy with a sinister secret identity. Able to transform into a creature known as a Hyde when prompted with the right triggers, Tyler went on destructive sprees around the grounds of Nevermore, and Ms. Thornhill attempted to use him to rid Jericho, VT, where Nevermore is set, of outcasts, aka the entire Nevermore student body. Wednesday and her lookalike ancestor Goody Addams (also portrayed by Ortega) came together to stop this plot, and they were also visited by a resurrected Joseph Crackstone, whose ring remained on campus after he was defeated and burst into flames and ash.

But [SPOILER ALERT], it’s part of the same wider story as the sophomore run, so expect a few loose ends that weren’t tied up to be taken care of. Lee Jung-Jae’s Gi-Hun will be back as will those that made it through another round of dystopian murder games in the Hwang Dong-hyuk-created tale, which shot it second and third seasons back-to-back. How will it end? Gruesomely, if I had to guess.

That is truly chilling to think of it moving here among us, and so I can’t tell you under what circumstances you’ll see that, but you’ll see it — and you’re going to lock your door that night.”
