description: Netflix's regular Christmas slate has been announced for 2025.
encoded: In recent years, Netflix has been on a mission to release a Christmas movie for everybody, every year. Their solution to achieve this? Release a whole host of festive films every year, in the hopes that there'll be something for everyone. While their Christmas schedules are often packed, this doesn't mean that the films are exactly Oscar-worthy. This year, there are four films coming out in the early weeks of the festive season which have a range of themes, from a heist movie to a gender-bending Santa Claus comedy and wine-related romance. So, whether you're a fan of Netflix's original festive films or you just want to find something to put on in the background while the family's over, read on to find out all you need to know about Netflix's 2025 Christmas release schedule. What are the New Netflix Original Christmas movies this year? This year's offerings begins with A Merry Little Ex-mas, which follows a divorcee whose plans are wrecked when her ex shows up with his new girlfriend. Meanwhile, Champagne Problems (which seemingly borrows its title from the Taylor Swift song) is a romcom about an ambitious businesswoman set against the gorgeous backdrop of the French winter. While Champagne Problems leans into the romance, Jingle Bell Heist is a romcom with the emphasis firmly on the 'com' which sees a pair of small-time thieves discover that they each plan to break into the same London department store. Hilarity ensues. Finally, My Secret Santa follows a single mother as she attempts to pass as a man to become a season Santa at a ski resort. Read on to find out more about each one. A Merry Little Ex-mas Release date: Wednesday 12th November Cast: Many of the character names have not yet been revealed, but the actors appearing are: Alicia Silverstone as Kate Oliver Hudson as Everett Jameela Jamil as TBA Melissa Joan Hart as TBA Pierson Fodé as TBA Timothy Innes as TBA Linda Kash as Doris Emily Hall as Sienna What is A Merry Little Ex-mas about?

description: The new film in the epic sci-fi franchise is nearly here.
encoded: Hot off the back of 2022's Prey and the animated film Predator: Killer of Killers, director Dan Trachtenberg's newest addition to the Predator franchise is a standalone film set decades in the future on a remote planet. While the main theatrical films have told four stories (and two crossovers) within the Predator universe, Badlands is set to draw more from the extended universe of Predator material – it begins on the Predators' home world and explores their species' culture. Promising to lean more into the science fiction aspects of the franchise than ever before, Badlands resembles more of a space fantasy and its lore revelations look set to be huge for fans of the series. With its final trailer already out and its release date imminent, read on to find out everything you need to know about Predator: Badlands. Predator: Badlands release date – when does the film come out? Lining up with its US release, Predator: Badlands will be out exclusively in cinemas from Friday 7th November. As with most films distributed by 20th Century Studios, Badlands will be released on Disney+ at a later date – though at the moment, no official streaming date has been given. In the immediate future, the only way to watch the film will be in the cinema. Badlands will also be getting an IMAX release, and its trailer promises that this is the best way to see it. Predator: Badlands cast – who stars in the movie? Predator: Badlands has a very limited cast list, with only two names listed: Elle Fanning as Thia Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi as Dek While Fanning has been seen in the trailers, Schuster-Koloamatangi won't have his face on screen, as Dek is one of the Predators' species. For the film, Schuster-Koloamatangi (who is usually a stuntman) learned the Predator language and portrayed Dek via a mix of technological and traditional techniques. He wore a creature suit over his body, while his expressions and facial movements were motion-captured to allow for Dek's face to be digitally de…

Based on the book of the same name by Colleen Hoover and starring the likes of Alison Williams, Dave Franco, McKenna Grace and Mason Thames, the film follows a mother and daughter whose already rocky relationship is further soured by a tragic traffic accident involving two of their close family members. Meanwhile amid the tragedy, both are becoming involved in new romantic relationships, which also threaten to drive them further apart. Music supervisor Season Kent – who previously worked on another Hoover adaptation, It Ends with Us – has selected an interesting mix of songs for the film's soundtrack.

description: Check out everything you need to know about the full cast list for the new romantic drama.
encoded: US author Colleen Hoover has quickly become a household name over the past decade or so. After a successful big-screen adaptation with 2024's It Ends with Us, it's no shock that several other of Hoover's novels are in the running to be turned into movies and TV series. The latest of Hoover's works to be adapted is her 2019 novel Regretting You, which hits cinemas this Friday 24th October. Directed by Josh Boone (The Fault in Our Stars), the film follows an often-quarrelling mother and daughter whose lives are changed when a tragedy befalls them. For a story this character-focussed, it was important for the cast to have the right chemistry – and it seems like Mckenna Grace and Mason Thames especially did. Grace spoke to Access Hollywood about having "more than a few [improvised] kisses". Want to know who else is in Regretting You and why their faces may be familiar? Read on for everything you need to know about the cast. Regretting You cast: Who stars in the film? The confirmed cast list is as follows: Allison Williams as Morgan Grant Mckenna Grace as Clara Grant Dave Franco as Jonah Sullivan Mason Thames as Miller Adams Scott Eastwood as Chris Grant Willa Fitzgerald as Jenny Davidson Clancy Brown as Hank 'Gramps' Adams Sr Sam Morelos as Lexie Ethan Costanilla as Efren Luke Pierre Roness as Hank Adams Jr Daniel Smith as Pastor Alicia Cuthbertson as ER Desk Attendant Marcelle LeBlanc as Tonya Kurt Yue as Doctor William Burnham Simmons as Elijah Joe Binford Jr as the Voice of DJ Read on for more about the cast and who they're playing.

Back to the Future icon Michael J Fox calls out modern "bully culture" – and why that makes trilogy relevant today

description: The star of the classic sci-fi trilogy has spoken out about why it's still important in 2025.
encoded: It's been 40 years since the first Back to the Future film arrived in cinemas – and the trilogy's iconic star Michael J Fox has revealed one of the reasons he thinks the films remain so relevant today: a modern climate of bullying. "We live in a bully culture right now," he explained in a new interview with Empire to mark the anniversary. "We have bullies everywhere – you don’t need me to point the finger at who, but there are all these bullies." He continued: "In this movie, Biff's a bully. Time's a bully." Of course, Biff (played by Thomas F Wilson) was the major antagonist of all three Back to the Future movies – introduced as the epitome of the American high school bully who constantly puts people down ("Hello? Anybody home?") and belittles others. Back in 2020, Fox compared US President Donald Trump to Biff in a Guardian interview, saying that "Biff is president!" while the trilogy's co-writer Bob Gale previously explained that Biff's casino ownership in Part II was directly inspired by Trump – so we don't need to look too hard to deduce who Fox's new comments are directed at. In the new interview, Fox also mentioned how Parkinson’s has become a bully for him, referencing his long battle with the disease he was first diagnosed with in the 1990s. Speaking about the continued resonance of the film, he added: "It’s all about how you stand up to [the bullies] and the resolve that you take into the fight with them. It’s about your resilience and your courage. "I think there’s a lot to that right now. I think a lot of people are responding to the movie because it strikes chords they wouldn't otherwise recognise." Back to the Future became almost instantly iconic upon its release and was followed by Part II and Part III in 1989 and 1990 respectively, with all three films helmed by Robert Zemeckis. The original in particular has remained one of the most beloved '80s films ever since, even spawning a musical theatre adaptation that opened in 2020. Check out more of our …

description: Glen Powell stars in this new adaptation of the Stephen King novel.
encoded: It's been almost four years since Edgar Wright's most recent film, Last Night in Soho, was released, but finally the director is back, with a new adaptation of Stephen King's The Running Man (although the novel was written under King's nom de plume, Richard Bachman). This is not the first time King's novel has been adapted for the silver screen. In 1987, Paul Michael Glaser directed an adaptation starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, this new film is set to follow the novel more closely, while revitalising the story for an audience in 2025. The movie promises to tap into the zeitgeist of the media, and what people will do for fame and fortune, while also bearing director Edgar Wright's trademark flair for action sequences and high-speed chases. According to The Standard, even King himself is a fan of the new movie, dubbing it a "fantastic Die Hard for our time". After The Monkey, The Long Walk, and the new TV adaptation of The Institute, 2025 has shaped up to be a solid year for fans of King's work. Two trailers for the film have now been released, as we see Glen Powell's Ben Richards entering a deadly game of hide and seek, in which he has 30 days to outrun professional assassins on his tail. But what else do we know about Wright's latest film thus far, who else stars in it and when is it set to be released in cinemas? Read on for everything you need to know about The Running Man. When will The Running Man be released? The Running Man will be released in cinemas worldwide on Friday 7th November 2025. The film's development was first announced in February 2021, while filming started in November 2024 and finished in March 2025. What is The Running Man about? The Running Man is an adaptation of the 1982 novel by Stephen King, which was previously also adapted for the screen in 1987. That version starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and was directed by Paul Michael Glaser. The synopsis for the new film says: ​"In a near-future society, The Running Man is the top-rated show…

description: The Marvel hero is swinging back into cinemas next year.
encoded: Spider-Man: Brand New Day is swinging into cinemas next summer, with star Tom Holland throwing himself into the action sequences on the latest Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures collaboration. In fact, recent reports spread like wildfire on social media that the popular actor had suffered a concussion during filming, which was hyperbolically described as a "horror injury" or words to that effect by some news outlets. Fortunately, it was nothing quite so dramatic; Holland later assured fans (via Instagram) that he was "feeling better" and "on the mend" after taking a week off to recover, appearing at a glamorous gala alongside fiancée and co-star Zendaya. It appears that the incident won't have any major impact on the production schedule for Brand New Day, which also stars Jon Bernthal as The Punisher, and MCU newcomers Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) and Liza Colón-Zayas (The Bear). In addition, a founding member of the Avengers has also been widely touted for the Brand New Day cast – that being Mark Ruffalo, who addressed the chatter in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "If I'm doing that – which the rumours are that I am, once I get a script, I'll know it’s real – but I love [Jon Bernthal]... I can’t wait to work with him, he's so funny and he’s such a great actor. "He plays that character like nobody else. I'm really excited to meet him, I've never met him!" Spider-Man star Holland had previously promised a return to "old school filmmaking" for Brand New Day, following a glut of largely soundstage-shot films, and that comment was proven correct as the movie burst onto the streets of Glasgow this summer. The Scottish locale will be doubling for New York City, with residents taking to social media to chronicle streets dressed up to resemble Peter Parker's world-famous hometown. If you're as excited for Spider-Man: Brand New Day as we are, read on for everything we know about the blockbuster film so far. Spider-Man: Brand New Day release date Spider-Man: Br…

description: An all-star cast is coming together for new film from Rebel Wilson – including Mel C and Ashley Roberts.
encoded: Sheridan Smith is joining the cast of Girl Group, a new comedy written, directed, and produced by Rebel Wilson, who will also be starring. This marks Wilson second feature as director after 2024's movie musical The Deb. While The Deb was an adaptation of the stage musical of the same name, Girl Group is set to be an original story about a pop diva (Wilson) who is booted out of her own girl group's reunion tour and whose only chance at making a comeback is by coaching a group of community service misfits for a record label audition. This isn't Wilson's first time appearing in an underdog story about singing (see Pitch Perfect) and the project was actually initially announced back in 2019, when it had the title Seoul Girls. Originally, the plot was going to follow a Korean-American high school girl and her attempts at success with her band (as originally reported in Deadline), but plans have changed. Now, the film will confront the toxicity of the music industry and balance the focus between the new group and Wilson's character, a girl group veteran who has her own struggles. As well as Wilson and Smith, a number of big names will be joining the cast including Randall Park, Jamie Lee O'Donnell, Guz Khan, Ashley Roberts of the Pussycat Dolls, Mel C of the Spice Girls, and Shaznay Lewis of All Saints. Roberts, Mel C, Lewis, and Wilson herself will form fictional group Girlfriends, so the cast's history and experience should help give the band a touch of realism. As for the band Wilson's character creates? Names are being kept under wraps for now, but a search was conducted nationwide throughout the US to find the new young leads. Wilson has been involved with several musicals now, from the early days of the Pitch Perfect franchise right through to her directorial debut and she says Girl Group is specifically going to bring back some of the Pitch Perfect vibes (and not just with the alliterative title). She said: "Ever since being a part of the Pitch Perfect franchise, I…

description: Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande will be back as Elphaba and Glinda in 2025.
encoded: Whatever way you spin it, Wicked: Part One was a monumental success when it was released at the tail end of 2024 – and so news that the final trailer for the second chapter has arrived seems certain to go down well with fans. Not only did the first film break multiple box office records and received impressive reviews from critics, it also emerged as a major contender on the awards circuit – earning itself 10 Oscar nominations and picking up two of them for Costume Design and Production Design (awards it also won at the BAFTAs). But of course, that was just the first half of the film, and fans are now eagerly awaiting the concluding chapter based on the second act of the hit stage musical. If the response to the first trailer is anything to go by, the second half may even be more successful than the first – Variety reports that its trailer achieved an additional 50% views in its first 24 hours compared with the first film. It was previously revealed that the title for Part 2 had changed to Wicked: For Good – referring to a crucial song in the film – and by the sounds of it, the titular song looks like being a real highlight, at least if Ariana Grande's reaction to filming it is anything to by. "Shooting For Good was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced," the Glinda star recently told Variety. "It was such a long and emotional process. I kind of left my body. We filmed it over the course of a week, and it stayed with me. I haven’t even seen the final cut yet because I’m not sure I’m ready to feel all of it again." Director Jon M Chu previously explained the decision to split the musical into two films rather than one, saying in a social media statement back in 2022: "As we prepared this production over the last year, it became increasingly clear that it would be impossible to wrestle the story of Wicked into a single film without doing some real damage to it." He continued: "As we tried to cut songs or trim characters, those decisions began to feel like fatal compro…

It stars Murphy as an overworked headteacher named Steve who runs a reform school for boys with behavioural difficulties and has been met with a mostly positive critical response – including in our very own four-star review.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus has rightly earned its place as one of the seminal works of science fiction of the early 19th century. Having inspired countless films, the latest is gearing up to take a slightly different approach, with the focus not on the scientist or the creature – but the creature's Bride, loosely inspired by James Whale's 1935 classic Bride of Frankenstein. With a very outlandish trailer having just arrived, you're curiosity may have been piqued. With than in mind, read on to find out when you can expect to see The Bride in UK cinemas. The Bride! release date – when does the film come out? The Bride! was originally planned to be released in autumn 2025, though due to a number of production delays – including 2023's SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes – is now set to be released worldwide on 6th March 2026. The Bride!'s production was also affected by Netflix dropping the project for budgetary reasons and Warner Bros stepping in instead. On the bright side, this meant that Gyllenhaal was able to shoot the film in her preferred location of New York City. The Bride! cast – who stars? The Bride! has a star-studded cast led by Jessie Buckley as Frankenstein's bride, who previously starred as the young Leda Caruso in Gyllenhaal's The Lost Daughter. Co-starring opposite Buckley is Christian Bale as Frankenstein's monster. Alongside the leads, Peter Sarsgaard features as a detective, Annette Bening appears as Dr Euphronious, Penélope Cruz plays Myrna, and Jake Gyllenhaal will be appearing in an as yet undisclosed role.

A House of Dynamite is Bigelow's first film to be distributed by Netflix, and follows the response from the President and the US Government to an unexpected nuclear missile attack. From a script by The Maze Runner writer Noah Oppenheim, A House of Dynamite has been well-received by critics thus far since its global premiere at the Venice Film Festival – including our very own 4-star review which called it a "terrifying nuclear thriller" that ranked "up there with her very best".

description: The star-studded adaptation of Richard Osman's best-seller makes use of gorgeous locations.
encoded: Chris Columbus's adaptation of Richard Osman's best-selling novel The Thursday Murder Club is now available to stream on Netflix, hooking fans in with its starry cast and picturesque scenery. The film follows four sleuthing retirees – played by Dame Helen Mirren, Celia Imrie, Sir Ben Kingsley and Pierce Brosnan – whose hobby takes a startling turn when a body winds up dead on their doorstep. While the movie was primarily filmed at Shepperton Studios, many scenes were also shot on location around the UK. Interestingly, Columbus thought back to some of his earlier UK-set films while he was looking for places to serve as Cooper's Chase – the retirement village which acts as the stories' prime location. "We wanted to create the 'Hogwarts' version of a retirement community," he said in the press notes. "Hogwarts was an aspirational place, a place that kids all over the world fantasised about getting a letter from, welcoming them to this school of witchcraft and wizardry." He added: "Cooper's Chase was initially conceived by Richard Osman as a place unlike most of the traditional assisted living places we’ve seen in books and film, places that are unwelcoming, depressing and dreary. "We wanted Cooper's Chase to be a sort of wish fulfilment retirement community, somewhere that audiences who saw the movie would say, ‘I’d love to spend the last 15 to 20 years of my life in a place like this.'" So where was The Thursday Murder Club filmed? Read on for everything you need to know. The Thursday Murder Club filming locations: Where was the Netflix movie shot? It turns out that the Hogwarts of retirement communities is not in Kent, where the books and film are set, but instead in various villages and manors around Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Fairhaven, the fictional town of The Thursday Murder Club, was filmed in the real-life village of Aldbury. With gorgeous old buildings, it's a suitable location to double for Fairhaven. Cooper's Chase itself has a couple of locations t…

description: The English film adaptation of Mercedes Ron's novel trilogy continues.
encoded: Hardly six months since the release of My Fault: London, Prime Video has announced that two sequels are coming, hot off the original Spanish-language adaptations of Mercedes Ron's novels. In 2023 and 2024, Prime released Culpa Mía and Culpa Tuya, with Culpa Nuestra set to close the trilogy in October 2025. Adapted from the novels of the same name, Prime was quick to remake the films in English. Your Fault: London and Our Fault: London have now been confirmed, with Asha Banks and Matthew Broome set to reprise their roles from the first film in the trilogy. Read on for everything you need to know about the first sequel. When is Your Fault: London released on Prime Video? There's currently no set release date for Your Fault: London, but filming has already begun so it shouldn't be too long. Given that My Fault: London wrapped filming in May 2024 and released in February 2025, it's possible that Your Fault: London could have a late 2026 release date. As for the final part of the trilogy, there's no word yet on how far along production Our Fault: London is – or if pre-production has even started, but we'll be keeping track of all the latest developments. Who will be in the Your Fault: London cast? So far, Asha Banks and Matthew Broome have been confirmed to be returning as Noah and Nick respectively, for both of the next two films in the trilogy. While they haven't yet been confirmed, its likely that Eve Macklin and Ray Fearon will return as parents Ella and William, given that their characters' stories aren't yet over. Likewise, the characters Jenna and Lion (Enva Lewis and Kerim Hassan) will be in Your Fault: London, so those actors will almost certainly return as well, as will Sam Buchanan as Ronnie. As for new faces, it's been confirmed that Louisa Binder, Joel Nankervis, Scarlett Rayner and Orlando Norman will all be playing new roles in the sequel. According to an official casting announcement, Binder will play Sophia, a beautiful and ambitious young woman who sets…

description: Ari Aster teams up with Joaquin Phoenix for a black comedy thriller.
encoded: From Ari Aster, writer and director of global sensations Midsommar and Hereditary, comes Eddington, a new thriller laced with political commentary – set at the height of the pandemic lockdown in 2020. Much like his previous film Beau Is Afraid, Eddington has had a somewhat mixed reception so far – with some criticism over the way it handles its subject matter – but it seems destined to find a host of fans. Our own three-star review from its Cannes Film Festival debut called it "thematically rich but overlong", adding that it is "a film overflowing with ideas, which is something to be praised, even if it all feels like a hot, toxic mess". The film has been out across the pond for a while now, so read on to find out how you can watch Eddington in the UK. Eddington UK release date – is it streaming? No, Eddington is not streaming. Instead, the way to watch it in the UK is in cinemas, where it is finally arriving a fair few weeks after its US release in mid-July. Eddington releases on Friday 22nd August across the UK – so head to your local cinema to watch it. This is the only way Eddington can be viewed for now, but we'll keep you updated as and when we hear any news on streaming dates. Eddington cast – who stars in the film? Eddington boasts Oscar winner Joaquin Phoenix as its lead, Eddington sheriff Joe Cross, reuniting with writer-director Ari Aster; the two previously collaborated on Beau Is Afraid. Starring alongside Phoenix is the currently somewhat ubiquitous Pedro Pascal, who plays Joe's rival mayoral candidate – and incumbent mayor of Eddington – Ted Garcia. Additionally, Emma Stone portrays Joe's wife Louise, and Austin Butler plays cult leader Vernon Peak. Also appearing are Luke Grimes, Deirdre O'Connell, Micheal Ward, Amélie Hoeferle, and Clifton Collins Jr. You can find a full cast list below: Joaquin Phoenix as Joe Cross Pedro Pascal as Ted Garcia Emma Stone as Louise Cross Austin Butler as Vernon Jefferson Peak Luke Grimes as Guy Tooley Deirdre O'Connel…

encoded: Since the overwhelming success of June's KPop Demon Hunters – which has taken less than two months to become Netflix's most-watched original animated film of all time – its fans have been wondering whether there are sequels or spin-offs still to come. The South Korea-set fantasy film follows two K-pop groups, Huntr/x and the Saja Boys, as secrets from long ago are revealed, leading to fights with demons and otherworldly sci-fi antics – not to mention a hugely popular soundtrack. With such rich world building, a sequel is extremely appealing, and given its huge success you might be wondering if further films are on the way. Read on for everything you need to know. Will there be a KPop Demon Hunters sequel? Although nothing is confirmed yet, signs are looking good for a sequel at some point in the future. Speaking to Screen Rant after the huge success of the film, co-director Maggie Kang said, "There are always side stories, and there are things we've thought of... I think there are a lot of pockets that we can explore." It seems like Kang is keen to continue the stories of Rumi, Mira and Zoey, and it's looking increasingly likely that it will happen. According to Puck, Sony and Netflix are in talks with Kang and co-director Chris Appelhans to "return for a follow-up". Speaking to Newsweek, Netflix Films chairman Dan Lin previously said he was "excited to explore what could be the next adventure for Huntrix". He added: "KPDH's success comes from its original, fresh story, so if we do embark on a sequel, we would want to take our time to make sure that any future stories we tell with our favourite demon hunters retain the flair and uniqueness of the first film." Meanwhile, in July 2025, The Wrap reported that two different sequels were in the works – so it looks like we'll be seeing plenty more demon hunting in the future. When could a KPop Demon Hunters sequel release? Despite it being pretty likely that a sequel will happen, there are no signs yet of a release date. …

description: Timothée Chalamet's new sort-of-biopic is out later this year.
encoded: Director Josh Safdie is no stranger to real-life sports stories. In 2013 – before they had really hit the big-time – he and his brother Benny directed Lenny Cooke, a documentary film about and starring the titular basketball player. Now, Safdie is returning to the world of sports for his first film as a solo director, but this time, it's ping-pong. Marty Supreme stars Timothée Chalamet as Marty Mauser, a professional table tennis player, with Gwyneth Paltrow another big name in a very eclectic cast that also includes Shark Tank star and businessman Kevin O'Leary, film director Abel Ferrara and rapper Tyler, The Creator. Chalamet is also co-producing the film, having previously done so on Bones and All and Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown. But is the film based on a true story? Read on for everything you need to know ahead of its release later this year. Is Marty Supreme based on a true story? Partially. The film follows a character named Marty Mauser, who is loosely based on the real-life champion ping-pong player Marty Reisman – but it will not be telling a one-to-one adaptation of his life or career. Instead, according to Deadline, Marty Supreme will be "a fictionalised original, rather than a biopic". Audiences shouldn't be expecting another Lenny Cooke – this is clearly set to be a dramatised account of Reisman's career. Plot details are currently being kept firmly under wraps, but there is a teaser trailer, which you can watch here: Who was the real Marty Supreme? The real Marty Supreme (or, rather, the real Marty Mauser) was actually called Marty Reisman. Reisman was born in 1930 and died at 82 in 2012. He was a champion table tennis player whose professional career spanned over 50 years. His career began at the age of just 12, and rumours quickly began to spread about his incredible talent – with comedian Jonathan Katz even once recalling that Reisman once beat him while using the flat end of a chess piece rather than a bat. Throughout his career, Reisman …

Liam Neeson picks up the mantle from comedy legend Leslie Nielsen as the son of the original trilogy's lead cop Frank Drebin, while there are also supporting roles for Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser and Danny Huston. Directed and co-written by The Lonely Island's Akiva Schaffer and produced by Family Guy's Seth MacFarlane, the film has been a big hit with both critics and audiences. Doing an impressive job of matching the original film's laugh-a-second script and clever sight gags, the movie has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 90% at the time of writing. In fact, there are so many jokes crammed in that even if you've seen the film already, you may be looking to watch it again to catch what you missed the first time. So read on to find out where can you watch The Naked Gun and whether it's available to stream yet. How to watch The Naked Gun: Is it streaming anywhere?

description: Here's how to watch the laugh-a-second spoofs in the right order.
encoded: After the success of 1980's Airplane!, the comedy writing-directing trio of Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker decided to create a TV series. The result was Police Squad!, a spoof of police dramas which ran for just one series of six episodes in 1982. Helming the series, and returning to work with ZAZ after Airplane!, was Leslie Nielsen as Lt Frank Drebin, a police detective who directly parodied roles that Nielsen had previously had in dramas such as The Bold Ones: The Protectors and The New Breed. Over the next 12 years, Nielsen would continue to play Drebin in a series of feature films, the character proving incredibly successful. Nielsen's comedy skills are second to none, and it's difficult to believe that most of his work before Airplane! was in dramas as a leading man. Over 40 years since the first iteration of the character, Frank Drebin has returned – well, his son has. The Naked Gun sees Liam Neeson (whose name almost rhymes with Nielsen's) take on the mantle at Police Squad as he plays Frank Drebin Jr. Ahead of the new movie's release on Friday 1st August, here's the complete list of Naked Gun entries to get up to speed with what's been going on at Police Squad. Police Squad! (1982) Despite only running for six episodes, Police Squad! is one of the most fondly-remembered US comedies of the early '80s. It perfectly sets up the bizarre world of the films which follow and introduces audiences to Drebin, his boss Capt Ed Hocken (Alan North), and fellow detective Norberg. Although the latter two would be recast in the films, their dynamic is introduced here and remains broadly similar throughout the run. Boasting a joke-per-minute ratio the likes of which TV would never see again, Police Squad! was cancelled after its first season but remains available to stream on Sky, and it can be purchased on DVD and Blu-ray. Where to watch: Sky/NOW The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) ZAZ's next project after Police Squad! was the 1984 film Top Secret!, which wa…

encoded: After nearly 30 years, Adam Sandler's iconic Happy Gilmore character has returned to screens in Happy Gilmore 2. Some argue that the character was Sandler's mainstream break-out role, and so it's nice that even after his immense success in the years since the 1996 original, he's found the time to return to the character that made him a household name. Sandler's production company, Happy Madison, is famously half-named for the 1996 character (even though the company itself wouldn't be founded for another three years, in 1999). There's something neat about Happy Madison being the production company behind Happy Gilmore 2 - and speaking of happiness, that's exactly what this soundtrack evokes. The first movie featured a host of feel-good tunes, such as Rock 'n' Roll (Part 2) and We've Only Just Begun, and the 2025 sequel features even more classic hits mixed with slightly more obscure selections. Either way, it's a rollercoaster ride of a mixtape, and it punctuates the action of the new movie perfectly. Happy Gilmore 2 soundtrack: Full list of songs With classics from the first film such as Tuesday's Gone and Magic used again in this new sequel, Happy Gilmore 2 ventures further out with a longer list of songs than its predecessor. A huge range of artists appear on this soundtrack, from The Cult to Floyd Wonder – and even Muse. There's something for everyone in this eclectic mix. Ramblin' Gamblin' Man performed by The Bob Seger System Tuesday's Gone performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd Pop Muzik performed by M and Robin Scott Swingin Party performed by The Replacements Wooly Bully performed by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs Don Quichotte (No Están Aquí) performed by Magazine 60 Get Low performed by Lil Jon and the East Side Boys feat Ying Yang Twins Juke Box Hero performed by Foreigner She Sells Sanctuary performed by The Cult Magic performed by Pilot Blue Moon performed by The Marcels Sitting Down is Stupid performed by Floyd Wonder Knights of Cydonia performed by Muse Eye of th…

encoded: Wise-cracking, larger-than-life grandma Madea first appeared on screen in 2005. Since then, we’ve seen Tyler Perry’s character sort out countless family rows, solve relationship woes, dish out idiosyncratic words of wisdom, get in trouble with the law, do battle with zombies, and even cross over with Mrs Brown's Boys. But how do you watch the Madea movies in order? Blending slapstick humour, heightened melodramatic storylines and often didactic messages, the Madea films have certainly proved divisive and prompted some scathing reviews. Despite that, though, Perry’s movies have - for the most part - been reliably successful at the box office, helping the actor and filmmaker to build up a billion-dollar entertainment empire. Whether you’re new to the Madea cinematic universe or want to return to the franchise after catching up with the newest projects on Netflix, here’s the complete Madea watch order. How to watch the Madea movies in order Whether you're wanting to watch the Madea movies in order by release date or by chronological order, the watch order is as follows: Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005) Madea’s Family Reunion (2006) Meet the Browns (2008) Madea Goes to Jail (2009) I Can Do Bad All by Myself (2009) Madea’s Big Happy Family (2011) Madea’s Witness Protection (2012) A Madea Christmas (2013) Madea’s Tough Love (2015) Boo!

Helen (Kimberly Elise) is about to celebrate her 18th wedding anniversary with husband Charles (Steve Harris), until she returns home to find all of her belongings in a moving truck. Charles, it turns out, has been having an affair with a younger woman and is kicking Helen out of the house. Happy wedding anniversary, indeed. Helen heads to h…

description: As Twin Peaks turns 35, its legendary co-creator Mark Frost speaks exclusively to RadioTimes.com about working with David Lynch and changing the landscape of television.
encoded: After the tragic death of visionary filmmaker David Lynch earlier this year, fans around the globe have taken to the internet to share their favourite moments from his extensive body of work. It’s no surprise that a significant number of memories come from the groundbreaking Twin Peaks — a TV show that uniquely blended cosy small-town drama with a surreal murder mystery. Launched 35 years ago in the spring of 1990, the eight-episode first season shook the world of television to its core. Mark Frost and David Lynch were keen to take TV further than it had ever gone before. Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, Frost explains: "After World War II, television set up a kind of cosy and warm conformity that was best exemplified in situation comedies. It was always the nuclear family, the dad was a sweet, loveable goofball, the kids were all adorable, and it was utterly predictable. It was all designed to sell products to those people in the audience — television was an advertising medium. "It wasn’t until the ‘60s that I perceived television can do a lot more than that, if you gave it a chance. There were little sparks that would escape every once in a while like Patrick McGoohan’s The Prisoner, which blew the top of my head off. I didn’t think that sort of storytelling was possible. Believe me, I filed those sorts of things away." Frost spent the early days of his career writing for a variety of shows, including The Six Million Dollar Man, and eventually had a three-year stint on Hill Street Blues, after which he decided to turn his attention to writing films. Enter David Lynch. Frost recalls: "Hill Street Blues was tremendous, but three years of 22 episodes a season is exhausting, and I thought movies sounded kind of relaxing by comparison. That was what drew us together; we were paired up on a script that I wrote that David was going to direct, and we got along — as he used to say — ‘like Ike and Mike’." Whilst working on the (ultimately unproduced) film together, F…
