‘The Beauty’ (2026–)

I’m so excited about this new show, ‘The Beauty,’ coming to FX! It’s set in a really unsettling world where a deadly STD actually makes people incredibly beautiful before it kills them. The story follows two investigators trying to uncover the truth behind this plague, and it looks like they’ll be dealing with a lot of secrets and conspiracies within the wealthy elite. What really grabbed me is how it mixes scary, physical transformations with a classic thriller plot – it’s a really clever way to explore our culture’s obsession with looks and what we’re willing to do to achieve them. It seems like it’s going to be a dark and thought-provoking look at vanity and the shady side of medical progress. Everyone’s saying it’s one of the most interesting shows coming out in early 2026, and I can’t wait to see it!

‘Steal’ (2026–)

The new Prime Video series ‘Steal’ is a thrilling crime drama centered around a dangerous and intricate robbery. It’s a suspenseful ride that doesn’t shy away from violence, and explores the dark side of human behavior when people are pushed to their limits. As the story unfolds after the heist, characters are caught in a dangerous game of betrayal where no one is safe. The show’s realistic and intense visuals amplify the tension and make for gripping, often deadly, encounters. It’s perfect for fans of crime thrillers and suspenseful dramas.

‘Handsome Devil: The Charming Killer’ (2026–)

The new Paramount+ docuseries, ‘Handsome Devil: The Charming Killer,’ explores the disturbing story of a manipulative and deceptive criminal. The series investigates the life and crimes of a man who used his good looks to trick both his victims and the authorities. Using interviews with investigators and forensic evidence, the first season pieces together the timeline of his terrifying acts, serving as a chilling reminder that evil can hide behind a pleasant appearance. The series offers a detailed look into the mind of a modern serial killer.

‘Return to Silent Hill’ (2026)

On January 23, 2026, director Christophe Gans will release a new film based on the beloved video game ‘Silent Hill 2’.
