In a year when horror dominates, Apple TV’s Widow’s Bay stands out by balancing scares with sharp humor; set on a cursed New England island and led by a bungling mayor, the first season wraps with a tense finale and a second season already confirmed, earning high praise from Guillermo del Toro for its storytelling.

Amazon’s MGM+ live-action Spider-Noir centers Ben Reilly as a brooding private eye and is visually gorgeous in black-and-white, but its thin narrative and uneven Nicolas Cage performance keep it from living up to Spider-Verse potential; eight episodes drop on MGM+ May 25 and Prime Video May 27, and while the look is stylish, the show largely feels like Sony tossing ideas at the wall rather than delivering a standout chapter in the Spider-Verse.

In The Boys Season 5 finale, Homelander attempts to declare godhood on national television, but Ryan’s words reveal his lonely, depraved core; The Boys crash the Oval Office, Kimiko strips Homelander of his powers, and he is killed by Butcher. Butcher, driven by Terror’s death and his own death wish, is shot as he contemplates releasing a virus to wipe out all supers, dying soon after. The team mourns and goes their separate ways, with Hughie and Annie starting private-hero work, MM remarrying, and Kimiko reflecting on Frenchie. The episode teases future spin-offs like Soldier Boy and Gen V, but critics call the finale crowded and lukewarm, feeling it rushed key moments and leaning on comic-book endings rather than delivering a fully satisfying close.

March 2026 brought a flurry of cancellations across broadcast and streaming, with about a dozen shows cut or on the brink and Buffy’s New Sunnydale pilot rejected.
