To an entire generation of movie fans, Keanu Reeves’ name drums up images of a brooding man in a suit who waged an all-out war with gangsters after they stole his car and murdered the dog that his late wife gifted him. The obsession and reach of the John Wick franchise can’t be understated, with an impressive four titles in the immediate series along with one (soon to be two) feature-length spin-offs, and even a television show all spawning from the character first introduced in Chad Stahelski’s 2014 film. Beyond that, there’s already another new spin-off, a fifth installment set…
Picture Credit: Warner Bros. Television One of the biggest licensed shows over the past year to receive the so-called “Netflix Effect” was Blindspot, which dominated the US charts for close to a month, but if you’re still midway through a binge, your time is running out. The hit NBC mystery crime drama Blindspot is officially scheduled to depart Netflix in the United States on June 7th, 2026, concluding a strict, highly successful one-year licensing window as we’ve grown accustomed to with Warner Bros.

But nevertheless, Rita still fought a battle 10 years ago when she was diagnosed in 2015. At the time, she couldn’t help but notice the changes happening in her body—and how they contradicted each other. “It was interesting to look at my body in that way and see it, understand what is missing,” she explained, “but also [see] what my body could do to keep me healing and healthy and have that appreciation.” While the Now and Then star—mom to Chet Hanks, 35, and Truman Hanks, 30, with husband Tom Hanks—has been in remission for over a decade, she recently…
