Netflix has officially released the first trailer for the highly anticipated Peaky Blinders movie, confirming that Thomas Shelby is returning to the screen. Mark your calendars: the movie will premiere on Netflix worldwide on March 20, 2026.
Titled Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, the film continues the saga of the Shelby family after the events of the critically acclaimed TV series. Cillian Murphy continues his iconic role as Tommy Shelby, bringing back the same cold, calculated, and charming gangster fans have loved since 2013.
The movie also sees the return of familiar faces like Sophie Rundle (Ada Shelby), Stephen Graham (Arthur Shelby), Tim Roth, Rebecca Ferguson, and introduces new characters played by Barry Keoghan, adding fresh energy and tension to the story.
The Trailer Teases What’s Coming
The first trailer offers a glimpse into Tommy’s world post-TV series. While Netflix has kept major plot points under wraps, we can expect:
High-stakes drama: Tommy is navigating a world filled with new enemies and old rivalries.
Dark and stylish cinematography: The movie keeps the series’ signature moody tone, with sharp suits, smoky streets, and tense confrontations.
Action-packed sequences: Explosions, gunfights, and fast-moving chases hint that the film will be bigger and more cinematic than the TV series.
The trailer ends on a chilling note, promising that the power struggles, betrayals, and Shelby-style cunning will be back in full force.
Release Dates
Limited Theatrical Release: March 6, 2026

Netflix has publicly stated that Warner Bros. movies will continue to be released in theaters, even as discussions and reports around a potential Netflix/Warner Bros. Discovery deal continue to dominate Hollywood conversations.
The announcement has sparked industry-wide debate, not because Netflix supports theatrical releases but because of how it plans to approach them, and what that approach could mean for the long-term future of Warner Bros. films.
Netflix’s Commitment to Theatrical Releases
Netflix executives, including co-CEO Ted Sarandos, have emphasized that the company has no intention of removing Warner Bros. movies from cinemas. According to Netflix, theatrical releases remain an important part of Warner Bros.’ identity and value as a studio.
This statement is significant. Netflix built its reputation on a streaming-first model, often giving films limited theatrical runs before moving quickly to digital release. Warner Bros., on the other hand, is one of Hollywood’s most historically theatrical studios, responsible for major cinema franchises and box-office-driven storytelling.
By committing to theatrical releases, Netflix is signaling that Warner Bros. movies will not become streaming-only titles.
What “Staying in Theaters” Really Means
While Netflix says Warner Bros. films will remain in cinemas, industry observers note that traditional theatrical windows may change.
Instead of long exclusive cinema runs lasting several months, Warner Bros. movies could follow a shorter theatrical window before becoming available on streaming. Netflix has previously described long windows as outdated and not consumer-friendly.
This suggests a future where:
Warner Bros. films still premiere in cinemas
Theaters remain part of the release strategy
Streaming access may arrive earlier than in the traditional model
For audiences, this could mean faster access at home. For cinemas, it raises questions about box-office sustainability.
What This Means for the Future of Warner Bros. Movies
1. Warner Bros. Keeps Its Big-Screen Identity
Warner Bros. has built its legacy on theatrical storytelling from franchise films to prestige cinema. Netflix’s position indicates that the studio’s cinematic DNA will remain intact, at least in the near future.
This matters for filmmakers who still design movies for the big screen and for audiences who value the theatrical experience.
2. A Hybrid Release Model Becomes the New Normal
Rather than choosing between theaters and streaming, Warner Bros. movies may increasingly follow a hybrid release strategy debuting in cinemas, then transitioning more quickly to Netflix.
This approach could redefine how success is measured, shifting focus from box-office totals alone to a combination of:
Theater performance
Streaming engagement
Global audience reach
3. Franchise Films Face a Turning Point
Major Warner Bros. properties including long-running franchises could be most affected. These films traditionally rely on extended theatrical runs to build cultural impact and revenue.
If theatrical windows shrink, Warner Bros. may need to rethink:
Marketing strategies
Budget expectations
How blockbuster success is defined in a streaming-driven era
A Defining Moment for Warner Bros. and Hollywood
Netflix’s pledge to keep Warner Bros. movies in theaters is more than a reassurance; it represents a transitional moment for Hollywood.
If the strategy succeeds, Warner Bros. could become the model for how legacy studios survive in a streaming-first world without abandoning cinema. If it fails, it may accelerate the decline of traditional theatrical dominance.
Either way, the future of Warner Bros. movies is likely to look different; not absent from theaters, but reshaped by a changing entertainment economy.
Netflix subscribers are set to lose one of television’s most popular long running fantasy series, as all 15 seasons of Supernatural are scheduled to leave the streaming platform this Thursday.
The news has sparked reactions across social media, especially among longtime fans who have relied on Netflix as the main home of the show for years.
Why SupernaturalIs Leaving Netflix
Supernatural, which aired from 2005 to 2020, is not a Netflix Original. The series was produced by Warner Bros. Television and made available on Netflix through a licensing agreement.
According to industry reports, the agreement has now expired, which means Netflix no longer has the rights to stream the show. As a result, all 15 seasons are being removed from the platform as part of Netflix’s regular content rotation.
Once it leaves Netflix, Supernatural is expected to be available on other streaming platforms linked to Warner Bros., although availability may differ depending on location.
For viewers who are yet to complete the series or those planning a full rewatch this week is the final opportunity to stream Supernatural on Netflix.
Netflix typically removes titles immediately after their final listed day, so episodes may no longer be accessible once Thursday ends.
Other Popular TV Shows Leaving Netflix Soon
Supernatural is not the only major title exiting Netflix this month. Several other well-known TV series are also expected to leave the platform due to expiring licensing deals.
These include:
How I Met Your Mother
The 100
Arrow
Evil
Downton Abbey
The removals highlight Netflix’s ongoing shift away from licensed content as more studios move their shows to in house streaming services.
Movies Also Leaving Netflix This Month
In addition to TV shows, Netflix is removing several popular films from its library, including:
The Goonies
Back to the Future trilogy
Beverly Hills Cop films
Exact removal dates may vary depending on region.
Why Netflix Keeps Losing Licensed Shows
Netflix has increasingly focused on producing original content, while licensed movies and TV series are rotated out when contracts expire.
As major studios prioritize their own platforms, long-running shows like Supernatural are less likely to remain on Netflix permanently.
The departure of Supernatural marks the end of an era for many Netflix viewers who followed the Winchester brothers’ journey across 15 seasons.
If the show is on your watchlist, now is the time to finish it.
The battle for Hollywood is officially a corporate battle. Just days after Netflix appeared to win the bidding war for major parts of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), rival bidder Paramount Skydance has escalated the fight, launching a bold hostile takeover bid for the entire company.
Led by CEO David Ellison, Paramount Skydance is now going over the WBD Board of Directors’ heads and taking a massive, all-cash offer directly to WBD shareholders. This dramatic move throws the entire future of two media giants and the streaming world into immediate uncertainty.
The Heart of the Battle: The Bidding terms
The core of the dispute lies in what is being bought and how much it’s worth.
The Netflix Deal (Currently Board-Approved)
What it Buys: Only WBD’s Studio and Streaming assets, including the Warner Bros. film studio, HBO, and HBO Max.
What is Left Out: WBD’s Global Networks (like CNN and TNT) would be spun off into a separate, new company.
Value: Roughly $27.75 per WBD share in a mix of cash and Netflix stock.
The Paramount Skydance Bid (Hostile Offer)
What it Buys: The Entire Warner Bros. Discovery Company, keeping the film studios, streaming services, and the Global Networks together.
Value: $30.00 per share in all cash.
Total Enterprise Value: An impressive $108.4 billion, including WBD’s current debt.
Paramount Skydance argues that its offer is superior and more certain for shareholders, delivering an estimated $18 billion more cash than the complicated Netflix proposal.
Why the Hostile Move? The Strategy Behind the Bid
When a company goes “hostile,” it means the existing management and board have rejected the offer, so the bidder must appeal directly to the owners the shareholders to force a sale.
Paramount Skydance is pushing three main arguments to convince WBD shareholders to reject the Netflix deal:
More Cash, Less Risk: The $30.00 per share is a higher price, and the all-cash structure removes the risk and complexity of receiving volatile Netflix stock as part of the payment.
Regulatory Advantage: Paramount argues that a Netflix-WBD deal which would merge two massive content libraries and streaming subscriber bases would face intense and lengthy antitrust scrutiny from regulators. A Paramount-WBD merger, being smaller, might have a “quicker path to completion.”
Keeping the Company Together: Paramount believes that keeping all of WBD’s assets together (studios, streaming, and cable networks) provides a stronger, more stable business, arguing the separate “Discovery Global” company created by the Netflix deal would be saddled with uncertainty.
What Happens Next?
The hostile bid signals that this fight is far from over. Paramount Skydance has formally launched a tender offer that is set to expire in January 2026.
This December, Netflix is taking over your holiday watchlist with a lineup of must-see movies. From heartwarming festive romances to mysteries, there’s something for every mood. And with its recent acquisition of Warner Bros., Netflix now commands one of the biggest film and TV catalogs in the world.

Netflix’s One Piece: Into the Grand Line (Season 2) is set to release in 2026. Here’s everything we know so far; cast, story arcs, new characters, and what to expect from the Straw Hat Pirates’ journey into the Grand Line.
Netflix’s One Piece Into The Grand Line
When Netflix’s live-action One Piece launched in 2023, it surprised fans and critics alike by delivering a faithful, fun, and visually daring adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s legendary manga. The first season charted the rise of Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) and his ragtag crew through the East Blue saga, culminating in their setting sail toward the dangerous, mysterious, and endlessly exciting Grand Line.
Now, the voyage continues with One Piece: Into the Grand Line, the official title for Season 2.
When Will One Piece Season 2 Release on Netflix?
Netflix has confirmed that One Piece: Into the Grand Line is scheduled to debut in 2026, though no exact date has been announced yet. Filming wrapped in early 2025, meaning the show is now in the heavy visual effects and post-production stage.
Even better, Netflix has already given the series a Season 3 renewal, proving confidence in the franchise’s long-term potential.
What Story Arcs Will Season 2 Cover?
Season 2 promises to expand the world of One Piece beyond the relatively small seas of East Blue. Expect to see the Straw Hat Pirates navigate major fan-favorite arcs, including:
Loguetown: The town where Gold Roger was executed, and where Luffy faces Marine Captain Smoker for the first time.
Reverse Mountain & Whiskey Peak: The gateway into the Grand Line, introducing dangerous new foes and allies.
Drum Island: Where the crew meets Tony Tony Chopper, the reindeer doctor who will officially join the Straw Hats.
Little Garden: A prehistoric island filled with giants and hidden threats.
New Characters Joining the Adventure
The cast is expanding in exciting ways for Into the Grand Line:
Tony Tony Chopper: Played via CGI and performance capture, Chopper is a reindeer who ate the Human-Human Fruit. He becomes the Straw Hats’ beloved doctor.
Smoker: A chain-smoking Marine captain with a Logia-type Devil Fruit ability, making him a formidable new rival.
Miss All Sunday (Nico Robin): Mysterious, intelligent, and dangerous, she plays a pivotal role in the Baroque Works storyline.
Dr. Kureha: The eccentric doctor who mentors Chopper on Drum Island.
Crocodile: The mastermind villain of Baroque Works, one of the first major warlords Luffy must overcome.
Production Team
The creative team remains mostly intact, with Joe Tracz leading Season 2 as showrunner and Matt Owens staying on as executive producer. Season 3 will see Ian Stokes join the leadership team, but for now, Into the Grand Line continues with the same insight that made Season 1.
Why Into the Grand Line Could Define Netflix’s One Piece
Season 1 was all about introducing Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji. Season 2 is about testing them as a crew. The Grand Line is where the real adventure begins, where Devil Fruits, warlords, Marines, and ancient mysteries intertwine in ways that cement One Piece as one of the greatest sagas ever written.
If Netflix can balance emotional depth with the high-stakes action and outrageous creativity of Oda’s world, Into the Grand Line may not just satisfy fans but also prove that live-action anime adaptations can truly thrive.
Netflix has officially announced it has kicked off production on Fight for ’84, a powerful new sports drama starring Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx alongside Malachi Beasley. Filming begins this September in New Jersey and is scheduled to run through December 2025, setting the stage for one of the most anticipated boxing films of the decade.
The Real Story
At its core, Fight for ’84 is more than just another boxing movie. It is inspired by true events that reshaped the course of American boxing history.
In 1980, a tragic plane crash claimed the lives of the U.S. Olympic boxing team, leaving the sport devastated. The film picks up in the aftermath, following the emotional and physical journey of rebuilding a new squad that would go on to compete in the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
Foxx steps into the role of Master Sergeant Roosevelt Sanders, the man tasked with training, guiding, and motivating a group of young athletes as they chase redemption inside and outside the ring. Themes of loss, second chances, teamwork, and triumph are woven into the film’s narrative.
Jamie Foxx as LeadActor
Jamie Foxx is no stranger to sports drama. Having portrayed real-life legends like Ray Charles (for which he won an Oscar), Foxx brings depth to every character. In Fight for ’84, he plays Sanders, a leader who must balance discipline with compassion while shaping a broken team into champions.
Alongside him is Malachi Beasley, best known for his breakout roles in indie drama and television joins this cast. While details of Beasley’s character remain under wraps, his presence opposite Foxx signals Netflix’s commitment to blending seasoned talent with rising stars.
The Production Team
Netflix has assembled a heavyweight team for Fight for ’84:
Director: Andrés Baiz (Narcos, Griselda)
Writers: Andrea Berloff (Straight Outta Compton), John Gatins (Flight), Andy Weiss (White Boy Rick)
Producers: Eric Newman (Grand Electric), Bryan Unkeless (Night Owl), Michael W. Abbott, Henry Tillman, Datari Turne
Executive Producers: Jamie Foxx and Andy Weiss
Filming in New Jersey: The ’80s Atmosphere
The production has transformed parts of New Jersey into 1980s America. From authentic gyms to period street scenes, the filmmakers are committed to immersing viewers in the look and feel of the era.
Extras casting calls in the New York–New Jersey area have been buzzing, particularly for boxing spectators, gym trainees, and background roles that bring the Olympic journey to life.
Filming runs through December 2025, with Netflix aiming for a release window in either late 2026 or 2027 (official date still unconfirmed).
Boxing films have long carried cultural weight, from Raging Bull to Creed. But Fight for ’84 stands apart because it’s rooted in real-life resilience.
This year’s theme—Pioneers, Pillars, and Players— pays tribute to the legends who laid the foundation of Nollywood, the off-screen masterminds—directors, producers, and crew members—who keep the industry running, and the vibrant actors who captivate audiences worldwide.
Aimed at spotlighting Nollywood’s finest, celebrating the trailblazers, behind-the-scenes heroes, and the on-screen stars who make the industry shine, the event often has in attendance industry professionals, music artists, and celebrities grace the stage. [Pulse]
