Delusion Update: Bae Suzy and Kim Seon Ho's vampire series enters production stage, period fantasy set to release in 2026
After their widely praised performances in the beloved drama Start Up, the two actors are set to bring their undeniable chemistry to a completely different story — a dark, atmospheric period drama filled with horror, mystery, and fantasy. What more does one need? Right.
The anticipation is over— Delusion is officially confirmed to premiere on Disney+ in 2026.
But that leaves the audience with the series plot. Delusion is adapted from a popular webtoon and unfolds across two historical periods: 1935 Gyeongseong (modern-day Seoul under Japanese rule) and the 19th-century Shanghai. The series centers on Song Jeong Hwa (Bae Suzy), a broken-hearted woman, and Yun I Ho (Kim Seon Ho), a painter she hires to capture her portrait. But questions remain - Is she a human? Or blood-sucking wall-crawling unearthy creature - A Vampire?
Though details about the story are closely guarded, early hints suggest a haunting exploration of loneliness, desire, and supernatural secrets that slowly unravel over time. Directed by Han Jae Rim, who previously earned praise for his work on The 8 Show, will helm the new series.
Delusion promises a rich blend of historical drama and chilling horror, layered with mystery and emotional complexity. The reunion of Bae Suzy and Kim Seon Ho — both award-winning actors known for their nuanced performances in Start Up, is already sparking excitement.

King of the Hill Season 14 OTT release: Now streaming on Hulu, here's what to expect as Hank and Bobby return after 15 years for the iconic reboot
The propane-powered gang from Arlen, Texas, has returned, and it is not just a nostalgic fever dream. King of the Hill Season 14 is now streaming exclusively on Hulu, officially marking the show's revival 15 years after it aired what fans thought was its finale. Surprise, Hank Hill is still mumbling about propane, and we are 100% here for it. King of the Hill OTT release All ten episodes of the new season landed on Hulu on August 4, turning the once-Fox classic into a full-on Hulu original. If you have been wondering where Hank, Peggy, Bobby, and the boys have been, well, you are in for a wild ride. What to expect from King of the Hill? Turns out, quite a bit. Hank and Peggy Hill return to their Texas roots after spending time working in the Middle East, yes, you read that right. While their Arlen crew (Dale, Boomhauer, and Bill) has mostly stayed the same, the world around them definitely has not. And Bobby? Our boy is thriving. He is now the head chef at Robata Chane, a German-Japanese fusion restaurant. That is right, the same Bobby who once snacked through awkward pre-teen moments is now plating up international cuisine. Who's voicing who? The OG voices are back and better than ever, mostly. We will again see Mike Judge return as Hank Hill and Boomhauer. And Kathy Najimy obviously continues to crush it as Peggy. Pamela Adlon reprises her iconic role as Bobby, and sadly Johnny Hardwick (Dale) recorded part of the season before his tragic passing in 2023, while Toby Huss steps in as well. Stephen Root, Jonathan Joss (before his 2025 passing), and Ronny Chieng round out the all-star voice cast. Where to watch King of the Hill for free? If you are new to Hulu, you can score a 30-day free trial of their ad-supported plan, plenty of time to binge the entire season. Post-trial, it is $9.99/month. Fancy going ad-free? That will cost $18.99/month. Or grab the Disney+ bundle starting at $10.99/month to stream even more. King of the Hill trailer

US Congress to ban anime? Speculations rise over proposed SCREEN Act
Anime, which mostly refers to Japanese animated content, has a wide following, and one of the largest happens to be in North America. Infillion estimates that around 52.8 million North American viewers watch anime on Crunchyroll. Hence, there's been quite a lot of chatter over speculations that the US might be banning anime. It is estimated around 52.8 million North American viewers watch anime on Crunchyroll. Image for representation.(X/@Go_Jover) However, what started this chatter? Are the fears founded? Here, we take a look into the possibility of US Congress banning anime. What's the chatter about US banning anime? The chatter online – both Reddit and X – seem to suggest that Congress might be planning to ban anime. 'Who's here after hearing that Congress is going to ban anime?,' a person asked on Reddit. 'They're what now??,' one person exclaimed, while another wondered how it would 'even work'. On X too, people were defiant. 'Us Congress wants to ban anime????? Good luck with that,' said one user, while another stated 'To anyone freaking out about congress anime ban... don't. Think about it, how are they even going to enforce it...'. Is the US actually banning anime? Here's the truth Despite the chatter, there seems to be no concrete proof that the US Congress is actually trying to ban anime. Grok has noted that while there is no anime ban proposed, the SCREEN Act, which seeks to protect children from being exposed to pornography, and seeks to focus on age verification for online platforms, could impact some anime content. Further, the AI assistant notes that this chatter could be related to the Texas Congress' SB-20 Bill which seeks to criminalize obscene depictions of minors in the media. However, the wording of the bill is obscure and it may end up impacting anime content, perhaps even leading to a ban, NBC's Click2Houston reported. One person on Reddit, explained as much, saying 'For people confused, it's about the Texas Anti-CP bill that was signed a few months ago for the State, which mainly has to do with AI Deepfakes, BUT has some rather murky wording, which has anime fans worried.' The Texas bill states 'a person commits an offense if the person knowingly possesses, accesses with intent to view, or promotes obscene visual material containing a depiction that appears to be of a child younger than 18 years of age engaging in activities described by Section 43.21(a)(1)(B), regardless of whether the depiction is an image of an actual child, a cartoon or animation, or an image created using an artificial intelligence application or other computer software.' The person, when posed with the question of what would be considered as child porn, and the gray area of anime getting affected, further noted 'Miller test, UNLESS something like that Mike Lee bill ever passes (which is extremely unlikely, like you'd have a better chance of winning the lottery than that bill passing).' This is a reference to the SCREEN Act, which comes from Congresswoman Mary Miller and Senator Mike Lee. Anime fans worried about Texas bill The move from the Texas lawmakers has anime stakeholders worried. Denise Leigh, the owner of The Anime Bar, told Click2Houston 'there's been a fear of this bill, because…it's so vague.' Vincent Tran, the Otaku food festival organizer, noted 'some Asian body types look more adolescent, and Japan's otaku culture already has a history with this kind of thing,' adding, 'I draw the line at actual porn, but some artists' work might have to be disallowed at events.' While these fears are quite founded, the wider speculations about an anime ban in the US are untrue, and if there is any impact, it would be limited to Texas and not across the nation. Some people online seem to have realized this as well, with one Reddit user commenting 'Eh it's only in the extreme red state of texas,' and another person on X saying 'TX congress trying to ban anime is the disaster movie of the summer I'm here to see. They don't understand the crash out that will take place.'

"Large Indian Pani Puri": Internet Reacts To Viral Giant Rice Ball In Japan
Recently, a food vlogger shared a video on Instagram offering foodies a peek into the preparation process of an enormous ball-shaped delicacy at the Mara Daigaku restaurant in Tokyo. The video shows a person cooking a big ball of dough in a pan filled with a generous amount of oil. With a spatula and a sieve, he continues stirring the dough ball until it takes an enormous shape of a rice ball. Once done, he transfers it into a basket and repeats the process with another dough. Next, the cook serves the riceballs to a customer. When the fluffy riceball was pressed, it broke open from the centre, revealing the hollowed middle part. The caption read, "A Giant Sesame Dango-The Largest in Japan! The dough, which started out the size of a fist, grew to twice the size of a face! At one point during cooking, a hole appeared, and the air whooshed out like a balloon deflating. I thought it was a failure, but as they kept rotating it, the hole disappeared, and it kept getting bigger! It was amazing to watch. The inside was completely hollow, with a chewy glutinous rice cake stuck to the bottom."
