In the late-2000s and early-2010s, it was looking like miniseries were going away. Then came *American Horror Story* in 2011, which helped resurrect the genre and led to a boom of limited and anthology series that hasn't slowed down 15 years later.

Netflix has been at the forefront of this resurrection, housing numerous buzzworthy miniseries that went on to win the genre's top prize at the Emmys, such as *Adolescence*, *Baby Reindeer*, and *The Queen's Gambit*. The streamer also has riveting docuseries like *The Andy Warhol Diaries* and *Wild Wild Country* that explore their subjects further than a traditional documentary could.

Ahead, find our recommendations for the 24 best miniseries on Netflix worth binging in their entirety over the weekend.

James Franco as Jake Epping in '11.22.63'.

Russ Martin/Hulu

Based on the alternative history novel by Stephen King, this Hulu-produced miniseries is even more thoughtful and engrossing than its premise suggests. James Franco stars as Jake Epping, an English teacher who gains access to a portal that allows him to travel back in time to stop the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. But Jake's mission becomes complicated when he finds himself adjusting nicely to his new life in the '60s, while every choice he makes threatens to change the course of human history. It's a powerful character study in the body of a propulsive sci-fi thriller. —*Kevin Jacobsen*

Where to watch *11.22.63*: Netflix

**Cast:** James Franco, Chris Cooper, Sarah Gadon, Lucy Fry, George MacKay

Adolescence (2025)

This four-part miniseries has become a TV unicorn since its March 2025 release, becoming a massive hit with viewers, achieving universal acclaim from critics, and earning eight Emmys (including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series). *Adolescence* centers on a 13-year-old boy (Owen Cooper) accused of murdering a female classmate, deftly exploring the motive that led to the crime as well as the devastating impact it has on his family. Each episode takes place over the course of an hour and is filmed in one continuous take, from immersing us in the unnerving dread of the initial police interrogations to the sobering reality of his family left to ponder where they went wrong. It's gripping television, powered by masterful performances and urgent, economical storytelling. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *Adolescence*: Netflix

**Cast:** Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper, Ashley Walters, Erin Doherty, Christine Tremarco

Alias Grace (2017)

If you're excited that female antiheroes are having a moment, then *Alias Grace* should be next on your watchlist. Created by *Women Talking *director Sarah Polley and directed by *American Psycho* helmer Mary Harron, *Alias Grace *follows Grace Marks (Sarah Gadon), a 19th-century maid who is in jail for allegedly murdering her employers. Like fellow Margaret Atwood adaptation *The Handmaid's Tale*, *Alias Grace* is a powerful critique of the plight of women in a patriarchal society, but it's also a miniseries that will keep you constantly guessing about the protagonist’s guilt or innocence. —*Janey Tracey*

Where to watch *Alias Grace*: Netflix

**EW grade:** A–

**Cast:** Sarah Gadon, Edward Holcroft, Rebecca Liddiard, Anna Paquin, Zachary Levi

The Andy Warhol Diaries (2022)

Andy Warhol in 'The Andy Warhol Diaries'.

This absorbing Emmy-nominated documentary series follows the rise of the influential pop artist Andy Warhol. Utilizing innovative technology to simulate Warhol's voice, the series brings the artist's meticulously written diaries to life, guiding us through his career as a painter, the various loves of his life, and his emergence as a pop culture icon in the '60s. Aided by revealing interviews from various public figures whose lives were touched by Warhol, *The Andy Warhol Diaries* is a fittingly stylish tribute to a legend. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *The Andy Warhol Diaries*: Netflix

Baby Reindeer (2024)

Richard Gadd as Donny Dunn in 'Baby Reindeer'.

Based on Richard Gadd's one-man show about his experience with stalking, *Baby Reindeer* starts with humor, then takes a sharp turn that makes you reevaluate everything that came before. The Emmy-winning miniseries has been controversial, especially after a lawsuit was filed by the woman who claims to be the inspiration for the series. But, wherever you stand on the ethics of fictionalizing real people, *Baby Reindeer* still stands on its own as intimate, gut-wrenching television that's deeply personal. —*J.T.*

Where to watch *Baby Reindeer*: Netflix

**Cast:** Richard Gadd, Jessica Gunning, Nava Mau, Tom Goodman-Hill

The Beast in Me (2025)

Claire Danes as Aggie Wiggs and Matthew Rhys as Nile Jarvis in 'The Beast in Me'.

Two of television's most accomplished stars square off in this gripping cat-and-mouse miniseries. Claire Danes plays Aggie Wiggs, an author struggling with depression, who finds inspiration to write her latest book about her enigmatic new neighbor, Nile Jarvis (Matthew Rhys). Nile, a real estate developer, is suspected of murdering his first wife, and Aggie goes on a dangerous mission to learn the truth. Both Emmy-winning stars turn in committed performances as their respective deeply flawed characters, but Rhys in particular delivers one of the most chilling performances in recent television history. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *The Beast in Me*: Netflix

**Cast:** Claire Danes, Matthew Rhys, Brittany Snow, Natalie Morales

Bodyguard (2018)

Richard Madden as David Budd and Keeley Hawes as Julia Montague in 'Bodyguard'. World Productions/Netflix

Many shows might build to their first nail-biting sequence, but not *Bodyguard*. The first episode starts with a 20-minute scene in which David Budd (Richard Madden), a British Army war veteran suffering from PTSD, tries to talk down a suicide bomber while on a train with his two children. EW staffers praised Madden's Golden Globe-winning performance, the portrayal of women in positions of power, and the "what-the-heck-is-even-happening moments" that make the miniseries impossible not to binge. And the viewers seemed to agree: When it aired in the U.K., *Bodyguard* became the country's most successful launch of a drama series in the 2010s. —*J.T.*

Where to watch *Bodyguard*: Netflix

**Cast:** Richard Madden, Keeley Hawes, Gina McKee, Sophie Rundle, Vincent Franklin

Death by Lightning (2025)

James A. Garfield may not have the name recognition of other centuries-old presidents like George Washington, John Adams, or Abraham Lincoln, but this four-part miniseries has certainly elevated his profile. Michael Shannon stars as Garfield as he becomes the 20th President of the United States and advocates for civil rights. Meanwhile, troubled devotee Charles J. Guiteau (Matthew Macfadyen) turns increasingly disgruntled, leading to him shooting the president. It's a compelling two-hander that explores both the potential and dangers of humanity. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *Death by Lightning*: Netflix

**Cast:** Michael Shannon, Matthew Macfadyen, Betty Gilpin, Bradley Whitford, Nick Offerman

Godless (2017)

Michelle Dockery as Alice Fletcher in 'Godless'. Ursula Coyote/Netflix

*Godless* takes the Western genre and turns it on its head, focusing on a town almost entirely run by women after a mining accident kills most of the men. Jeff Daniels chews the scenery as murderous robber Frank Griffin, giving a villainous performance for the ages (even if some of his monologues run a little long). But the women are the standouts, especially *Downton Abbey*'s Michelle Dockery and Merritt Wever as the men's clothes-wearing, overtly feminist Mary Agnes. "I'm done with the notion that the bliss of me and my sisters is to be found in childbearing and caregiving," she declares. —*J.T.*

Where to watch *Godless*: Netflix

**EW grade:** B

**Cast:** Michelle Dockery, Jack O'Connell, Merritt Wever, Sam Waterston, Jeff Daniels

Griselda (2024)

Sofía Vergara as Griselda Blanco in 'Griselda'.

You've never seen Sofía Vergara quite like this. The *Modern Family* alum sheds her comedic persona — and puts on some prosthetics — to deliver a chilling, Emmy-nominated performance as Griselda Blanco, the infamous Colombian drug lord. According to director Andrés Baiz, who also worked on *Narcos*, Vergara was drawn to the role of a woman in a man's world and the opportunity to show her range. "This was a chance to reinvent herself and step out of her comfort zone," Baiz told EW. "She knew she had to dive in completely into this role and...push herself to the limit." —*J.T.*

Where to watch *Griselda*: Netflix

**Cast:** Sofía Vergara, Alberto Guerra, Martin Rodriguez, Juliana Aidén Martinez, Vanessa Ferlito

The Haunting of Hill House (2018)

(From left to right): Mckenna Grace as Theo, Lulu Wilson as Shirley, Paxton Singleton as Steven, Violet McGraw as Nell, Julian Hilliard as Luke, and Henry Thomas as Hugh — the Crains — in 'The Haunting of Hill House'. Steve Dietl/Netflix

Less of an adaptation than a reimagining, *The Haunting of Hill House* has almost nothing in common with the original Shirley Jackson novel except the characters' names. But director Mike Flanagan captures the spirit of the work; in true elevated horror fashion, the miniseries uses ghosts as metaphors for trauma and unresolved grief, reaching a terrible and beautiful climax with the now-classic episode "The Bent-Neck Lady."

"A ghost can be a lot of things: memories, guilt, regrets, trauma, loss," Flanagan told EW. "We all have our ghosts to contend with, and that contention is where we learn the most about ourselves, as individuals and as a society." —*J.T.*

Where to watch *The Haunting of Hill House*: Netflix

**Cast:** Victoria Pedretti, Carla Gugino, Michiel Huisma, Kate Siegel, Timothy Hutton

The Last Dance (2020)

You don't need to follow basketball to appreciate *The Last Dance*. Chronicling Michael Jordan's final season with the Chicago Bulls, this 10-part docuseries became a quarantine favorite at a time when no one could watch live sports, painting a compelling portrait of ambition, leadership, and the price of success. "Sports fans or non-sports fans, the Chicago Bulls were a global phenomenon," director Jason Hehir told EW. "This was a cast of characters that Hollywood couldn't come up with, and Michael Jordan was the star of all stars." —*J.T.*

Where to watch *The Last Dance*: Netflix

**Cast:** Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman

The 25 best miniseries ready to binge-watch this weekend

The 28 best drama series on Netflix to get hooked on

Lord of the Flies (2026)

(Center, standing): Winston Sawyers as Ralph and David McKenna as Piggy in 'Lord of the Flies'.

J Redza/Eleven/Sony Pictures Television

William Golding's classic novel about British boys who survive a plane crash and make a new society on a deserted island has seen multiple film adaptations over the years. Jack Thorne, fresh from co-creating the Emmy-winning miniseries *Adolescence*, successfully delivered the book's first TV adaptation, a four-part miniseries that gives the story its proper due as it explores the psychological impact of the boys' gradual descent into darkness. Teeming with exciting new talent (particularly David McKenna as Piggy), the limited series manages to be as relevant today in its depiction of the corruption of youth as it was when the book was published in 1954. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *Lord of the Flies*: Netflix

**Cast:** Winston Sawyers, Lox Pratt, David McKenna, Ike Talbut

Maid (2021)

Margaret Qualley as Alex Russell in 'Maid'.

Ricardo Hubbs/Netflix

Based on Stephanie Land's memoir, *Maid* follows Alex (Margaret Qualley), a young mother who escapes an abusive relationship and struggles to support herself and her daughter. The miniseries is a raw and empathetic portrayal of the challenges faced by those living on the margins of society and a scathing indictment of the institutions that make it nearly impossible to escape abuse and poverty. Qualley's real-life mother Andie MacDowell has an unsettling supporting role as Alex's mentally ill mother, but Qualley is the star, and her nuanced, Emmy-nominated performance makes *Maid *both heartbreaking and inspiring. —*J.T.*

Where to watch *Maid*: Netflix

**Cast:** Margaret Qualley, Nick Robinson, Anika Noni Rose, Andie MacDowell

Midnight Mass (2021)

Hamish Linklater as Father Paul Hill in 'Midnight Mass'.

*The Haunting of Hill House* is Mike Flanagan's claim to fame, but some might call *Midnight Mass* his magnum opus. The miniseries follows Riley Flynn (Zach Gilford), a man who returns to his religious hometown after serving prison time for manslaughter. When a mysterious priest (Hamish Linklater) arrives, strange and unexplainable events begin to occur. Full of slow-burn horror, it's Flanagan's most personal work, based on his experiences with recovery and his upbringing in a Catholic community. "I don't know how long I could have gone without writing it," he wrote in a letter to critics. “This...was the story I always wanted to tell." —*J.T.*

Where to watch *Midnight Mass*: Netflix

**EW grade:** A–

**Cast**: Zach Gilford, Kate Siegel, Hamish Linklater, Kristin Lehman, Samantha Sloyan

One Day (2024)

Ambika Mod as Emma Morley and Leo Woodall as Dexter Mayhew in 'One Day'.

Forget the 2011 film version starring Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway — *One Day* on Netflix is now the definitive adaptation of the beloved novel by David Nicholls. The series follows college classmates Emma (Ambika Mod) and Dexter (Leo Woodall), whose relationship unfolds on the same day over the course of 20 years. A lovely rom-com elevated by Mod and Woodall's chemistry and nuanced, charming performances, *One Day* will have you in tears by the end of your binge. —*J.T.*

Where to watch *One Day*: Netflix

**Cast:** Ambika Mod, Leo Woodall

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story (2023)

A prequel series to ratings juggernaut *Bridgerton*, *Queen Charlotte* offers a lush, romantic look at the origins of one of the most beloved characters. The miniseries, by super creator Shonda Rhimes, delves into the young Queen Charlotte's (India Amarteifio) rise to power and her relationship with King George III (Corey Mylchreest). The story has a modern resonance as Queen Charlotte is written as a woman of color, which is the belief of many historians. "I wanted to tell the story of this young woman of color arriving in this world where she never imagined she'd be," Rhimes told EW. —*J.T.*

Where to watch* Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story*: Netflix

**EW grade:** B+

**Cast:** India Amarteifio, Adjoa Andoh, Michelle Fairley, Corey Mylchreest, Golda Rosheuvel

The Queen's Gambit (2020)

Anya Taylor-Joy as Beth Harmon in 'The Queen's Gambit'.

Phil Bray/Netflix

The miniseries that made everyone learn chess during quarantine, *The Queen's Gambit* was the surprise hit of 2020, captivating audiences with its riveting tale of chess prodigy Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy). Set during the Cold War, the Emmy-winning series traces Beth's journey from a Kentucky orphanage to the international chess scene, all while dealing with addiction and inner demons. The quick pacing and inventive visuals make chess matches as thrilling as a sports movie climax, but Taylor-Joy's mesmerizing performance is the real draw. As EW's critic writes, "*Queen's Gambit* will be remembered as the final star-making moment for Taylor-Joy, before her movie career rockets fast and Furiosa-ly." —*J.T.*

Where to watch* The Queen's Gambit*: Netflix

**EW grade:** B

**Cast: **Anya Taylor-Joy, Bill Camp, Moses Ingram, Marielle Heller, Thomas Brodie-Sangster

Ripley (2024)

Andrew Scott as Tom Ripley in 'Ripley'.

*Ripley* brings Patricia Highsmith's infamous con artist to the small screen in a stylish retelling that goes full noir, filmed entirely in black and white. These changes allow for a darker, lonelier version of Tom Ripley (played by a career-best Andrew Scott), whose complex psychology and lack of glamour is for a modern audience. "I didn't purposely try to get sympathy or empathy for him," creator Steven Zaillian told EW. "I trusted that, just by telling the story, that same thing would happen as it did in the book." —*J.T.*

Where to watch* Ripley*: Netflix

**Cast: **Andrew Scott, Dakota Fanning, Johnny Flynn, Eliot Sumner, Margherita Buy

Toxic Town (2025)

Aimee Lou Wood as Tracy, Jodie Whittaker as Susan, and Karla Crome as Pattie in 'Toxic Town'.

Ben Blackall/Netflix

This four-part British series is based on the real-life story of mothers who fought their town's council on behalf of their children. At the center is the toxic waste scandal in Corby, Northamptonshire, England, where the mishandling of industrial waste led to birth defects for several of the town's newborns. Jodie Whittaker and *White Lotus* alum Aimee Lou Wood are superb as two of the mothers whose babies were affected, and the series is at once infuriating and inspiring as it portrays the long and winding road of seeking justice. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *Toxic Town*: Netflix

**Cast:** Jodie Whittaker, Aimee Lou Wood, Rory Kinnear, Brendan Coyle, Robert Carlyle

Unbelievable (2019)

Kaitlyn Dever as Marie Adler in 'Unbelievable'. Beth Dubber/Netflix

Based on the devastating, Pulitzer Prize-winning article "An Unbelievable Story of Rape" from ProPublica and the Marshall Project, *Unbelievable* is a hard-hitting, unusually compassionate police procedural about two detectives (Toni Collette and Merritt Wever) as they investigate a series of sexual assaults. Kaitlyn Dever gives a heartbreaking performance as Marie, a rape survivor dismissed by authorities, which the actress called "the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my career." But instead of dwelling on the gendered injustices, the miniseries highlights the importance of having women in positions of power, as the empathetic approach taken by the female investigators is key to righting the wrongs of the case. —*J.T.*

Where to watch* Unbelievable*: Netflix

**EW grade:** B+

**Cast: **Toni Collette, Merritt Wever, Kaitlyn Dever

Unorthodox (2020)

Amit Rahav as Yanky Shapiro and Shira Haas as Esty Shapiro in 'Unorthodox'. Anika Molnar/Netflix

Based on Deborah Feldman's memoir, *Unorthodox* tells the story of Esther "Esty" Shapiro, a young woman who flees her ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn for a new life in Berlin. The miniseries is a gripping tale of self-discovery and rebellion, with Shira Haas delivering an extraordinary turn as Esty. She earned an Emmy nomination for her performance, not least because of that powerful singing scene. "The show is about a woman finding her voice, and in that scene, she's literally finding it," Haas told EW. "She's even surprising herself of what's coming out of her." —*J.T.*

Where to watch* Unorthodox*: Netflix

**Cast:** Shira Haas, Amit Rahav, Jeff Wilbusch

When They See Us (2019)

Niecy Nash-Betts as Delores Wise in 'When They See Us'. Atsushi Nishijima/Netflix

Ava DuVernay's *When They See Us* is a searing, unflinching account of the wrongful convictions of the Central Park Five, five Black and Latino teenagers who were falsely accused of a brutal assault in 1989. The miniseries powerfully depicts the systemic racism and injustice faced by these young men, following their harrowing journey from arrest to exoneration. With DuVernay's auteur touch and stellar performances from an ensemble cast, especially Jharrel Jerome, who won an Emmy for his portrayal of Korey Wise, *When They See Us* is as emotionally devastating as it is necessary viewing. —*J.T.*

Where to watch *When They See Us*: Netflix

**Cast:** Asante Blackk, Jharrel Jerome, Niecy Nash-Betts, Felicity Huffman

Wild Wild Country (2018)

Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh in 'Wild Wild Country'. Netflix

Cult documentaries have been a part of our media diet, but *Wild Wild Country* is one you have to see to believe. Chronicling the rise and fall of the Rajneeshpuram commune in Oregon during the 1980s, the docuseries delves into the controversial practices of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and his followers, leading to one of the most bizarre, shocking, and underreported events in American history. It's a wild ride filled with twists, legal battles, and a fascinating cast of real-life characters. —*J.T.*

FIFA clears referee accused of making racist gesture

FIFA has cleared referee Shaun Evans of wrongdoing after he was accused of making a racist gesture prior to Sunday's game between Germany and Curaçao.

Evans was shown in the video referee studio with his hand by his side in the "OK" symbol, which has been associated with white supremacy.

In a statement, the Australian referee said that the gesture was an "involuntary, subconscious twitch."

"I would like to clarify that I did not intentionally make a hand gesture or symbol to communicate a message, affiliation, game or belief of any kind," Evans said.

"The only explanation I can offer is that the movement was an involuntary, subconscious twitch and I was unaware I had done it at the time. Images taken later during the match showed that I repeated this movement many times while holding a pen between my fingers. The coverage following this incident simply does not reflect who I am.

"Of course, I understand how the gesture has been interpreted and I regret this, however I want to be very clear and categorically say that I did not knowingly or deliberately make the hand symbol suggested. Officiating at the World Cup is the biggest honor of my career and I look forward to supporting my colleagues for the rest of the tournament."

After investigating the incident, FIFA said that it found no evidence of wrongdoing, noting the statement from Evans.

"FIFA's independent Disciplinary Committee can confirm that, after looking into the matter involving support video assistant referee Shaun Evans, it has found no evidence of breaches of the FIFA Disciplinary Code. The Disciplinary Committee has also taken note of Mr Evans' statement," FIFA's Disciplinary Committee said in a statement.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) designated the "OK" gesture as a hate symbol in 2019. But the organization also cautioned that those who use it are not always expressing white supremacy.

"Because of the traditional meaning of the 'OK' hand gesture, as well as other usages unrelated to white supremacy, particular care must be taken not to jump to conclusions about the intent behind someone who has used the gesture," the ADL said.

Michelle Obama seemingly chose to ignore controversial remarks made about her by Josh Hokit at the UFC Freedom 250 event Sunday.

Rather, the following day, she took to social media to share an exciting project connected to her and her husband. The post was made a day after Hokit accused the former first lady of being "a man" after his win at the UFC event on the White House lawn in tandem with President Donald Trump's 80th birthday - with a lip reader spotting Donald Trump's comment to the UFC fighter after the sickening slur.

"Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!", she wrote on X, attaching a video of their interaction. It comes just days after a lip reader revealed Trump's desperate 8-word plea as he was brutally booed at the New York Knicks game.

• Barron Trump sparks concern with new look as people fear he 'needs help'

• Donald Trump sparks health concerns at UFC event as viewers claim to spot 2 tell-tale signs

In the roughly one-and-a-half-minute-long video, the Obamas speak with the artist about her process in painting a mural of the former first couple. The art piece is a mosaic of pictures of the prominent pair throughout their career.

"It's us! And all of the stories within the story," Michelle said in the video, reacting to the uncovered mural. "Oh my god, you got everything in there!".

The former president went on to joke that the artist didn't "touch up" his hair, keeping the 64-year-old's gray hair before both went on to praise the artist for her hard work and dedication to telling their story.

Hokit came under fire after accusing the former first lady of being "a man" during his initial remarks after his UFC fight win.

"Shoutout to Trump for having the balls to put some s--- like this on," he began. "And if I'm going to say anything, there's only one person more incredible than the Incredible Hok and that's my lord and savior Jesus Christ."

"Now listen, Alex Pereira, I wanna chama on your mama. And lastly, Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?".

Trump has not publicly acknowledged or condemned the remarks at press time. However, he did make a post on Truth Social after the major spectacle, where he ranted about Democrats.

"The Dumocrats want FISA because that's what they used to go after me for three years during my First Term! I'm against FISA if it doesn't come with The Save America Act (Full version!) firmly attached to it. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Trump wrote.

The stunning incident comes after Trump refused to apologize for sharing a racist image depicting former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes. -Credit:Getty Images

In the post, Trump also praised Hokit and other "outstanding" fighters at the "incredible" event, which he described as "PERFECT" despite the poor weather forecast, which led to heaps of trouble for the president over the weekend.

During the event, however, CNN reported that Trump "appeared to show a half-smile" after Hokit's remark about the former first lady.

On Monday, CNN's Jake Tapper said when asked for comment on the incident White House spokesman Steven Cheung said: "He had a great win last night. He showed toughness and the ability to pressure his opponent both on his feet and on the ground."

Slur comes after Trump's racist ape video

The stunning incident comes after Trump refused to apologize for sharing a racist image depicting former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes.

Trump faced criticism after reposting a since-deleted Truth Social post showing the Obamas' faces digitally placed onto images of apes.

Instead of apologizing for the racist post he claimed he did not see it.

"I just looked at the first part. I didn't see the whole thing. I guess during the end of it, there was some kind of a picture that people don't like. I wouldn't like it either, but I didn't see it," Trump said.

When asked by both Democrats and Republicans to take the post down he doubled down.

"No, I didn't make a mistake. I looked at thousands of things, and I looked at the beginning of it, and it was fine.... If you look at where it came from, I guess it was a take-off from the Lion King," Trump said.

Michelle has made feelings on Trump clear

The former first lady, who shares a rocky history with the president, has not shied away from publicly criticizing Trump.

Obama has admitted she 'sobbed' after his first inauguration, and caused a stir after she skipped out on Jimmy Carter's funeral.

Speculation rose that she didn't want to be seated next to Trump and Melania, but her team explained her absence was due to scheduling conflicts.

She also chose to skip out on Trump's 2025 inauguration.

"People couldn't believe that I was saying no for any other reason, they had to assume that my marriage was falling apart," Obama said about the divorce rumors that originated regarding her husband attending events alone.

She revealed: "It took everything in my power to not do the thing that was perceived as right, but do the things that was right for me, that was a hard thing for me to do."

It comes as Barron Trump was cruelly torn apart for his new appearance as he broke cover for the UFC fight.

- *Gilmore Girls *is leaving Netfilx after 12 years on the streaming platform.

- The seven-season series is still available to stream on Hulu and Disney+.

- A production of Warner Bros. Television, *Gilmore Girls *may soon be heading to HBO Max, which is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery.

In the immortal words of Lorelai Gilmore, "We're almost there and nowhere near it. All that matters is that we're going."

Nearly two decades since *Gilmore Girls** *wrapped its run on TV, 12 since it found a seemingly stable streaming home on Netflix, and 10 since the streamer premiered the revival miniseries, *Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life*, the beloved series is going again. And this time, the destination is not clear.

Netflix announced on Monday that the series will no longer be available to stream come June 30. "It's a show? It's a lifestyle. It's a religion," the streamer's X post began, quoting some memorable season 1 dialogue referring to *The Donna Reed Show*. "We are sorry to say that *Gilmore Girls* Seasons 1-7 will be leaving Netflix in the US on June 30. Raising a cup of coffee to every fan who visited Stars Hollow with us."

It's the end of an era not just for *Gilmore Girls*, but Netflix, too. The beloved mother-daughter, small-town dramedy, which aired for seven seasons on The WB (including one under the new moniker of The CW, if we're being precise), first arrived on the platform in 2014.

Two years later, Netflix debuted the somewhat controversial revival miniseries, *Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life*. Though the series is still available to stream on Hulu and Disney+, only Netflix has boasted both the O.G. and its follow-up over all these years, as Hulu only picked up the series for streaming in 2024.

*Gilmore Girls *also* *regularly appeared among Netflix's most streamed series, original and acquired alike, with the series shooting back into the Nielsen's top 10 most-streamed across platforms as recently as October.

Speculation that the series might soon be departing Netflix kicked off last week, when third-party Netflix tracking sites like Unogs and NewonNetflix.info both reported that *Gilmore Girls*' final date to stream was listed as July 1, 2026.

Though the series is leaving its longtime streaming home, international subscribers will still be able to watch the show on Netflix, the streamer told *What's on Netflix *on Monday.

* *has reached out to representatives for Netflix.

Now, a new crop of speculation is ready for harvest.

*Gilmore Girls *was produced by Warner Bros. Television. WBTV's streaming home is HBO Max, as Warner Bros. and HBO have long been joined at the hip, as a result of a 1990 merger. So far, there's no indication that the series will join the HBO Max lineup, but even *A Year in the Life *was a co-production of Netflix and WBTV.

EW has reached out to representatives for HBO and WBTV for comment.

Amanda Seyfried is weighing in on Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle controversy from last year.

Seyfried had a "great time" on the Housemaid press tour with her costar, who "seemed to be having fun, but I also understood that probably it can't be f---ing easy, where she found herself."

Sweeney's "great jeans" campaign for the fashion brand courted controversy over claims that it subtly played on racist tropes.

Sydney Sweeney has great friends.

The life of the 28-year-old Euphoria breakout was engulfed in controversy last year over a campaign for the fashion brand American Eagle that some accused of trafficking in racist tropes.

Until now, Amanda Seyfried, her costar in the 2025 blockbuster The Housemaid, had remained mum about the controversy despite embarking on a globe-trotting press tour with Sweeney as it unfolded around her. But in a profile published Monday in British GQ, Seyfried finally spoke to her experience as one of Sweeney's closest collaborators at the height of the scandal.

"We had a great time on the press tour... We worked really hard and she seemed to be having fun, but I also understood that probably it can't be f---ing easy, where she found herself," Seyfried shared. "I have heard her stand up for herself, but I think she found herself between a rock and a hard place."

The furor around Sweeney's July campaign for American Eagle jeans centered on its title: "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans." The intentional interplay between the word "jeans" and the word "genes" (one ad even sees Sweeney hang a poster that has the word "genes" crossed out and replaced with "jeans") stuck out to some as, in the words of TikTok user jessbritvich, "more than a cheeky wordplay, it's a dog whistle... it's saying that Sydney has a great body and therefore great genes, a product of genetic superiority. Specifically saying these white, thin, traditionally feminine bodies are not just aspirational but symbols of morality, tradition, purity."

For a long time, Sweeney didn't comment on the uproar around the campaign, but broke her silence with a glancing comment in November, telling GQ, "I did a jean ad. I mean, the reaction definitely was a surprise, but I love jeans. All I wear are jeans. I'm literally in jeans and a T-shirt every day of my life."

When asked how it felt to see Donald Trump refer to the campaign as "fantastic," Sweeney replied, "It was surreal."

"I'm just there," Seyfried continued in her own conversation with the men's magazine. "I don't talk to her about it unless she wants to talk about it. I don't want to be a source of anything but whatever you need. You need some fun, you need to laugh, you need cake with me? That's fine… at the same time, I'm like, 'We've got to promote this movie and I can be a safe space.'"

Seyfried further praised her costar for being able to think of others through the strain of scandal, noting how Sweeney "brought me all these cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery and gave me this most beautiful bracelet" on her birthday.

Sweeney is on board to return for a Housemaid sequel, though Seyfried's participation is not yet clear. In March, Kirsten Dunst became the latest to join the sequel cast.

Shania Twain reveals she did "unhealthy things" in order to try and lose weight during her 2019 Las Vegas residency.

The "Man! I Feel Like a Woman" singer says she performed intense exercise and cut sugars and fats from her diet.

It resulted in her becoming "malnourished" and tearing two muscles in her thigh.

Shania Twain is opening up about the "unhealthy things" that she tried in order to lose weight during her 2019 Las Vegas residency.

The "You're Still the One" singer, 60, revealed in a recent Sunday Timesinterview that she was so "malnourished" during her six-date Let's Go residency that she suffered two torn muscles in her thigh and had to be carried offstage at one point.

"In menopause you lose control of your body," Twain told the outlet. "So all of a sudden I'm bloating and I'm definitely not in control. I can't just lose five pounds."

The five-time Grammy winner shared that her perception of her changing body got so bad that she "stopped looking at myself in the mirror" before concerts entirely.

"I hated my body. I'm, like, 'Oh, I cannot stand this changing body,'" she recalled. "But that was so unhealthy. Who cannot look at themselves in the mirror?"

At the time, Twain explained that she did intense exercise and cut fats and sugars from her diet in order to lose weight.

"I was doing very unhealthy things," she remarked. "And I was working my body more than I was feeding it, to keep up with the strain."

When her diet and exercise efforts ended up having an impact on her thigh injury recovery, Twain knew that she needed to change both her lifestyle and mindset moving forward.

"Now I'm, like, bring on the mirrors, I'm going to look at myself all day long!" the vocalist said. "Menopause has been very good for me because I've learnt that some things you cannot control."

She eventually returned to Sin City five years later to host a new residency, titled Come On Over — All the Hits!, which ran from May 2024 until February 2025.

Twain has been open about the health challenges she's faced over the years, revealing in 2023 that she nearly died after suffering a "really bad bout" of COVID-19.

"I had to be airvacked by a special team because nobody else would fly me to the hospital, because you can't just pick up a COVID patient and fly them to a hospital," Twain told Apple Music at the time, before revealing she was subsequently diagnosed with COVID pneumonia.

"Every day, my lungs were filling up with inflammation. Every day," she said. "Within 12 days, I was pretty much dying. Thankfully, I had plasma therapy, and it worked."
