! Let me just share some stats real quick 
... Did you know that BBC One has been averaging around 1.3 million viewers per episode for their drama series last season? 
Meanwhile, Disney+ is on a roll with over 50% growth in subscribers from Q4 to Q1 of this year! 
And have you seen the trailer for Tomb Raider? 
I think Sophie Turner's Lara Croft is going to slay (get it?) her role! 
Also, did you know that Margaret Atwood's novels are worth over $40 million on the secondary market? 
As for Trinity, with Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Richard Madden on board, I'm thinking they're gonna bring some serious heat to this high-stakes drama 
. And let's not forget about W1A's update, Twenty Twenty Six! 
Who else is hyped for the World Cup? 
I've heard it's a drama series starring Alan Cumming, but what caught my eye was that it's part of the BBC's efforts to produce more British content, especially during the World Cup break when there are usually fewer sports-focused shows on air. That's something we could really use more of in terms of quality programming 
Don't get me wrong, he's a talented actor and all, but I've seen him in The Good Wife too. And what's the story about? Sounds pretty basic to me... 
Anyway, at least they're trying new things like Trinity on Netflix, that one looks interesting with Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Richard Madden. And I'm glad Disney+ is pushing out more content like VisionQuest, Marvel fans are going to love it! 
Twenty Twenty Six is also cool, I'm a fan of W1A, so this update sounds promising. But let's be real, we've got Line of Duty coming up soon and that one is always worth watching... 
. Alan Cumming as the lead sounds amazing too 
cant wait to binge this one!
I've already binge-watched The Handmaid's Tale and can't wait to see more of Margaret Atwood's world on Disney+. Sophie Turner as Lara Croft in **Tomb Raider**? 
And I'm DYING to see Sophie Turner as Lara Croft, that's going to be EPIC 
What's up with the World Cup update in Twenty Twenty Six, I need to know more about that 
Like, is there a limit to how many Handmaids/Tomb Raiders/Lara Crofts we can watch before they all start to blend together? 
And don't even get me started on these "new releases"... 2026 already feels like it's going to be a year of nostalgic retreads 
. On the bright side, I guess it's nice that Alan Cumming is still giving us life in Tip Toe - at least someone's keeping it fresh for now 
. The Testaments is also looking super intense, I've been meaning to get into The Handmaid's Tale for ages, so this adaptation has got me even more hyped 
. Overall, 2026 is shaping up to be an amazing year for TV, can't wait to see more of these shows!
On the other hand, I love Sophie Turner as Lara Croft in **Tomb Raider**, she's so fierce and strong-willed 
.
Trinity with Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Richard Madden sounds like an epic drama series too, love them both so much. 
Like, Sophie Turner as Lara Croft again? She's great and all, but come on! It feels like every other girl is getting cast as a strong female lead these days. And don't even get me started on all the sci-fi and fantasy nonsense... can we just have something real for once? 
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER TAKE ON THE ROLE. AND THE HANDMAID'S TALE ADAPTATIONS ALWAYS KEEP ME GUESSING... I HOPE THE TESTAMENTS DELIVERS SOME SURPRISES! 
it was so much fun! They had these roller coasters that felt like they were going straight up into space and then BAM back down 
. Like, **Tip Toe** is a great show, Alan Cumming is amazing 
. But what I'm most excited about is **Twenty Twenty Six**, I love satirical comedy and this seems really funny
