Prime Video confirms Invincible season 5 is in the works, but I'm more intrigued about who'll be voiced by Matthew Rhys in the Amazon TV show's fourth season
Amazon has renewed Invincible for a fifth season
The highly-rated animated show's fourth entry will arrive sometime in 2026
Matthew Rhys has also joined the Prime Video series' voice cast for season 4
Amazon has revealed Invincible has been renewed for a fifth season.
The announcement, which was made on the adult animated show's social media channels yesterday (July 17), confirms Invincible season 4 won't be its final entry. Considering how popular the critically-acclaimed Prime Video series is, that's no great surprise, but it's nonetheless pleasing to hear that Mark Grayson's story will continue on one of the world's best streaming services.
Interestingly, Amazon also revealed that the show's cast had already completed recording their lines for its fifth season.
It's likely, then, that Invincible season 5 could be ready to go in 2027 and maintain Prime Video's recently established plan to release new seasons annually: Invincible season 2 part 1 aired in late 2023, Invincible season 2 part 2 launched in early 2025, and its third and most recent season released earlier this year. Season 4 is set to arrive in 2026, too, so there's no reason to suspect the show's fifth installment won't arrive a year after that.
Which character might be voiced by Matthew Rhys in Invincible season 4?
Invincible's latest renewal and the completion of voice work on season 5 weren't the only announcements made in the above video. Indeed, Amazon also revealed that Matthew Rhys (The Americans, Perry Mason) had joined the voice cast for one of the best Prime Video shows' fourth chapter.
Understandably, Rhys' role is being kept under wraps, but that doesn't mean we can't guess which character he'll portray. After all, there are plenty of candidates in the series' graphic novel namesake who've yet to show up in its animated adaptation.
So, who could Rhys be voicing? Grand Regent Thragg is a possibility but, as much as I like Rhys as an actor, I'm not sure he has the gravitas to play the Viltrum Empire's commander-in-chief. J.K. Simmons, who plays Omni-Man, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who voices Conquest, have proven that actors with deeper voices are best suited to portray Viltrumites, so I don't think Rhys is the right fit for Thragg.
If he plays a villain, he might be better hamming it up as someone like Dinosaurus – real name David Anders – who's something of an superhuman eco-terrorist and, as his name implies, a formidable shape-shifting humanoid reptile when he's in his dino-form. Dinosaurus is a dangerous albeit silly character, so Rhys might be the perfect fit to play him.
On the more heroic front, Rhys may be the ideal actor for someone like Space Racer or Tech Jacket. We've briefly seen these superpowered beings in past seasons of Invincible, but neither character has uttered a word yet. It's possible, then, that Rhys has been tapped to voice one of them.
I guess we'll find out for sure when Invincible season 4 is eventually released. In the meantime, read the section below for more coverage on the series' latest season.

Anne Hathaway's denim jumpsuit and chunky sandals is a lesson in smart casual summer dressing
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. When news broke last week that filming for The Devil Wears Prada 2 had started, fashion fans around the world rejoiced at the news. The first sightings of Anne Hathaway in character as Andy Sachs saw the actress wearing an incredible Mondrian-inspired maxi dress by Gabriela Hearst and it was just the beginning. Hathaway's latest look taps straight into the denim trends 2025 with a cool, retro-inspired jumpsuit. The laidback style featured a relaxed cut with a slightly fitted waist and was complemented with a selection of vintage patches across the chest. Drawing the eye upwards to the stylish zipper detail on both the pockets and front of the jumpsuit. If you're wondering how to style a jumpsuit, this denim version couldn't make it easier to look cool. We love how Molly Rogers (Costume Designer for The Devil Wears Prada 2) has added one of the best designer handbags from Valentino and a pair of lust-worthy chunky Chanel Dad sandals to this cool look - we'll be filing this under future smart casual outfit ideas. JUMP TO IT It's official - jumpsuits are having a moment (again), appearing as one of the key spring/summer fashion trends 2025. This utilitarian-inspired style was seen on the catwalks at the likes of Saint Laurent and Fendi in a variety of guises, but our favourite version has to be denim. The cool all-in-one look is super easy to dress up or down; for a quick date night outfit, lower the zipper, add a chunky gold necklace, and wear with heels for a chic yet relaxed outfit. Heading to brunch or a picnic in the park? Take inspiration from Anne Hathaway's look and roll up the cuffs on the trouser legs ever so slightly to show off your favourite pair of chunky sandals. Shop the look In a vintage-inspired mid-wash blue, this denim jumpsuit from Boden has a cool retro look. For a dressed up look, swap the tie waist belt for a fitted leather style to cinch your waist. $199 / £139 at Boden The lighter denim wash of this style makes it one of the best jumpsuits for summer days. Team with affordable jewellery in gold and tan accessories for a stylish holiday look. $59.99 / £44.99 at H&M You can always trust River Island to give a jumpsuit a sexy spin - this fitted style with flared legs has a 70s bohemian-inspired look, perfect for nights out. Just add heels. $148 / £66 at River Island If your budget doesn't quite stretch to Chanel, these Tory Burch sandals have all the style at a fraction of the price. They're made from soft black leather and finished with gold hardware. $328 / £227.29 at Nordstrom This cool black leather handbag is really two styles in one - add the shoulder strap for the ideal everyday bag or use the two shorter handles for a playful day-to-night update. $287 / £209 at Mi Bolsa London When it comes to the sunglasses trends 2025, it doesn't get cooler than a pair of timeless cat's eye sunglasses from Celine. This oversized frame has a stylish, contemporary twist. $440 / £400 at Net A Porter If you're looking to update your summer capsule wardrobe, make sure to add a denim jumpsuit to your outfit roster. We love how this low-key denim piece can be dressed up and down and Andy Sach's outfit is the perfect example. The cool, utilitarian look features a high-low blend of everyday denim combined with quiet luxury accessories from some of our favourite French fashion brands - pieces from both Chanel and Celine are featured, as well as a gorgeous designer Valentino handbag. But even if you don't have the money for designer accessories, you can still make this chic denim style work for you. When styling your denim jumpsuit, keep accessories simple and elevated. Opting for subtle and understated bags and shoes will help your outfit look expensive, regardless of the budget. Just like other fashion fans out there, we can't wait to see what our The Devil Wears Prada 2 heroine is spotted wearing next, one thing is for sure, though, this film sequel is certainly going to influence styling and fashion into 2026.

A Beloved Julia Roberts Movie Is Getting A Sequel, And I'm All In Over Who's Already Involved
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Julia Roberts' career is packed with great movies, but did you know she's never starred in a sequel to one of them? Well, that could finally change thanks to some news about a sequel that's apparently going into early development. The word is that Sony is working on a followup to 1997's My Best Friend's Wedding with Celine Song, and I need to talk about it. I'm All Over Celine Song Making A Sequel To My Best Friend's Wedding In recent months, we're seeing a lot of movies from the 1990s and early 2000s get starstudded sequels, from Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep filming the second The Devil Wears Prada, to Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman being in Practical Magic 2. Per Collider, one of the most beloved Julia Roberts movies of her rom-com era could be next. The only name currently attached to the project is Celine Song, who just put out her second movie, Materialists, starring Chris Evans, Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal. We gave the movie a five out of five in our Materialists review for how Song was gracefully able to discuss modern dating and love through her unique romance film. The movie is a followup to her 2023 debut, Past Lives, which has also become a quick favorite among cinephiles. While it's early days for the sequel to My Best Friend's Wedding, I love the idea of such a talented and critically-acclaimed filmmaker being behind it – 1, because it could attract Julia Roberts to reprise her role, and 2, it could give us a rare worthwhile sequel that doesn't feel simply like a cash grab. Celine Song has a really solid hold on crafting great romance stories, and as soon as I saw this report, I was immediately interested in her take on Julianne Potter and who she might be over 25 years later. What Could Happen In A Best Friend's Wedding Sequel? That brings me to thinking about what a Best Friend's Wedding sequel could be. As you might recall, the original movie follows lifelong friends, Roberts' Jules and Dermot Mulroney's Michael, who once made a pact that they would marry each other if they were both unmarried by age 28. However, just weeks before Jules' 28th birthday, he calls her to let her know that he's set to get married. Jules doesn't take it well, and decides to sabotage the affair. Ultimately, Michael marries his bride Kimmy (played by Cameron Diaz). Julia Roberts has commented about how her view on the character has changed since making the movie, pointing out Jules as a 'pretty dodgy character,' which has me interested in how the actress could explore that further for a sequel. Maybe Michael flees to Jules after dealing with problems in his relationship with Kimmy, and Kimmy becomes the one ready to sabotage? Dermot Mulroney also commented on the sequel just a few days ago to The New York Post, confirming 'there is talk of a sequel.'. It's still early, but I very much hope the sequel happens with Celine Song, and the main cast from the 1997 movie. Solve the daily Crossword

20 new shows and movies to watch in August 2025 — 'Wednesday,' 'Peacemaker,' 'Platonic' and more
Aliens, awkward romances, and Eddie Murphy in an armored truck — there's no shortage of new shows and movies to watch in August 2025 on Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV Plus and other major streaming services, as well as broadcast and cable TV. We're highlighting the biggest, buzziest new shows and movies premiering this month. Returning favorites "Wednesday," "Peacemaker," "Platonic" and "Love Is Blind: UK" all return for their second seasons, while the animated classic "King of the Hill" embarks on its 14th season after getting canceled 15 years ago. New arrivals include the highly anticipated sci-fi series "Alien: Earth" and the political thriller "Hostage." If movies are more your speed, "The Pickup" delivers action and laughs, while "Night Always Comes" takes a grittier, emotional turn. Here's our guide on what to watch in August 2025. Jason Momoa gets fierce in his sweeping historical drama about Hawai'i's battle for unification in the 18th century. Ka'iana is a revered ali'i (chief) caught between loyalty and conscience. After he's pulled into a bloody struggle to unite the islands, he realizes the real war might be within. Momoa co-created the series with Thomas Pa'a Sibbett and steps behind the camera to direct the finale. The cast is stacked with Polynesian talent, including Cliff Curtis, Temuera Morrison, and rising star Kaina Makua. — Kelly Woo Premieres Aug. 1 on Apple TV Plus Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. 'Eyes of Wakanda' has the potential to be interesting. The animated miniseries is a spin-off of Ryan Coogler's 'Black Panther' and was produced by his company, Proximity Media. Throughout four episodes, it will examine centuries of Wakandan history through the eyes of Wakanda's Hatut Zaraze, a secret service tasked with recovering stolen vibranium artifacts. The first episode is set in Crete in 1260 B.C and starring the voice of Cress Williams as a Wakandan general gone AWOL, hunted by Hatut Zaraze agent Noni (Winnie Harlow). It will also include cameos from Marvel heroes, including Iron Fist. The show's premiere has been moved up to an Aug. 1 release date with all four episodes dropping at once, so make sure to check Disney Plus at the start of the month. — Malcolm McMillan Premieres Aug. 1 on Disney Plus I have a soft spot for rom-coms, no matter how dramatic or packed with clichés they are. Even when the storyline is wildly predictable, there's something comforting about this genre that keeps me coming back. 'My Oxford Year,' based on Julia Whelan's novel of the same name, follows Anna De La Vega (Sofia Carson), a driven American university student who fulfills her lifelong dream of studying at Oxford — only to have everything upended when she meets Jamie Davenport (Corey Mylchreest), a charming local poetry tutor hiding a transformative secret. As Anna and Jamie's friendship deepens through their shared love of poetry, their romance challenges her meticulously planned path and forces both characters to reconsider their choices. — Alix Blackburn Premieres Aug. 1 on Netflix For my generation, 'King of the Hill' is up there with 'The Simpsons,' 'Family Guy' and 'Futurama' as part of the Mount Rushmore of the Fox network's animated comedy series. Now, just like the last of those three series, it's getting the revival treatment and heading to Hulu and Disney Plus. If you're not familiar with this show from 'Beavis and Butt-Head' creator Mike Judge and 'The Office' showrunner Greg Daniels, it centers around the Hill family, residents of the (fictional) blue-collar city of Arlen, Texas. Unlike its contemporaries, it's a grounded show, focused on the mundane aspects of daily life and family dynamics. It's not over-the-top, but it is hilarious. This revival picks up 15 years after the show's initial run ended, with main characters Hank and Peggy Hill returning to Arlen after years working abroad in the propane industry, to enjoy retirement. So far, early reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with season 14 currently scoring a perfect 100% 'fresh' rating on Rotten Tomatoes. — MM Premieres Aug. 4 on Hulu Like any longtime friendship, 'Platonic' is just getting messier with age. Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne return as Will and Sylvia, besties who are trying (and mostly failing) to keep their lives in check. He's engaged to a tech CEO, she's moonlighting as his wedding planner, and both are juggling emotional crises with their usual mix of honesty, avoidance and alcohol (and lots of it). Season 2 brings fresh dysfunction and new faces — including Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney, and Beck Bennett — as the pals put their friendship to the test. Some rocks hold you up; others break windows. — KW Premieres Aug. 6 on Apple TV Plus Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson make an unlikely odd couple in this heist comedy. Russell (Murphy) is the no-nonsense vet, while Travis (Davidson) is all nerves and bad ideas. Their routine armored truck route goes sideways fast when they're ambushed by a crew led by Zoe (Keke Palmer) … who also happens to be Travis's one-night stand. Toss in Russell's furious wife (Eva Longoria), a pile of stolen cash and a plan that's way bigger than anyone signed up for, and their day becomes one wild ride. — KW Premieres Aug. 6 on Prime Video 'Wednesday' season 2 part 1 picks up with Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) returning to Nevermore Academy as a reluctant hero, only to be haunted by dark visions — one of which shows her roommate Enid's (Emma Myers) potential death. Determined to stop it, Wednesday dives into a new supernatural mystery that's darker, gorier, and more horror-driven than before. This season ditches the romance subplot entirely, focusing instead on Wednesday's evolving psychic abilities, her deepening bond with Enid, and a growing tension with her increasingly present family. New faces like Steve Buscemi (as Nevermore's principal) and Joanna Lumley (as Grandmama) join the cast, along with surprise appearances from stars like Lady Gaga. It's going to be a creepy and kooky time, to say the least. — AB Premieres Aug. 6 on Netflix 'Alien: Earth' is my most anticipated TV show of the year, and saying I'm excited would be an understatement. Set in the universe of the iconic 'Alien' franchise, this series trades claustrophobic space horror for manic, otherworldly terror right here on Earth. The Xenomorph is coming home. The show follows Wendy (Sydney Chandler), the first-ever 'hybrid' created by uploading a dying child's consciousness into a synthetic body. When a Weyland-owned research vessel crashes in Prodigy City, it unleashes deadly alien life forms, including Xenomorphs, onto the planet. Wendy and a group of tactical soldiers must confront the threat while grappling with questions about identity, humanity, and corporate exploitation. Created by Noah Hawley, the eight-episode series leans into existential sci-fi and classic horror, exploring a world dominated by mega-corporations like Weyland-Yutani and raising fresh stakes by bringing the Xenomorph terror to familiar ground. — AB Premieres Aug. 12 on FX (via Sling or Fubo) and Hulu 'Butterfly' looks like a gripping spy thriller you don't want to miss. The trailer is packed with action and character drama, and fans of Daniel Dae Kim from 'Lost' or 'Hellboy' will see him take on an even more complex role in this new series. Kim stars as David Jung, a former U.S. intelligence operative now living in South Korea. His quiet life is shattered when Rebecca (Reina Hardesty), a highly trained assassin, is sent to kill him. Shockingly, Rebecca is revealed to be David's estranged daughter, raised to believe he abandoned her years ago. As father and daughter confront their painful past, they become entangled in a dangerous game of deceit and treachery orchestrated by Juno (Piper Perabo) and her intelligence agency. — AB Premieres Aug. 13 on Prime Video The 'Love is Blind' dating show franchise was already a hit worldwide before it made its U.K. debut in August 2024, bringing the same bingeable brand of relationship drama, romantic competitiveness and social curiosities that viewers have come to know and love after five years. And now 'Love is Blind: UK' is back for its second go-round, with the first batch of episodes dropping on Wednesday, August 13. Hosts Emma and Matt Willis will also return to guide the new crop of U.K.- and Ireland-based daters through the highs and lows of trying to find their one true love. As always, the streamer promises, the series 'will uncover whether looks, race or age do matter, or if love really is blind.' — Christina Izzo Premieres Aug. 13 on Netflix Vanessa Kirby is having a standout summer. With Marvel's 'Fantastic Four' reboot already out in theaters, she's now set to star in a highly anticipated crime thriller. 'Night Always Comes' is described by Netflix as an intense journey of survival. After watching the trailer, it's quickly become one of the summer's must-watch releases for me. With its gripping storyline, popular bestselling origins, and talented cast, this thriller has all the elements to become a streaming hit. Kirby stars as Lynette, a determined woman racing against time to raise $25,000 in just one night to prevent her family's eviction and avoid losing everything. As the deadline looms, she's pushed to take drastic measures to protect her loved ones and secure their future. — AB Premieres Aug. 15 on Netflix This TV remake breathes new life into John Grisham's classic legal thriller, updating the story that Matt Damon brought to the big screen in 1997. Milo Callaghan is Rudy Baylor, a recent law school grad who's fired from a fancy firm on day one. He lands in a scrappy taco joint-turned-law office with the ambulance-chasing Bruiser (Lana Parrilla) and her shady paralegal, Deck (P.J. Byrne). Together, they dig into a deadly hospital conspiracy, forcing Rudy to go head-to-head with his former boss … and his ex. The 'Suits' reboot may have stumbled, but 'The Rainmaker' hopes to be a more compelling legal drama. — KW Premieres Aug. 15 on USA (via Sling or Fubo) We've already seen the saga of the Amanda Knox case — a then-20-year-old exchange student living in Perugia, Italy who was wrongfully convicted and incarcerated for the murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher — play out in real time on the news and retrospectively in true-crime documentaries like the 2016 Netflix doc 'Amanda Knox.' Now the shocking story is getting the dramatic limited series treatment with 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox,' a Hulu Original series premiering with its first two episodes on Wednesday, August 20. In the eight-episode drama, 'Tell Me Lies' starlet Grace Van Patten portrays Knox (who serves as an executive producer on the series) as she endures wrongful imprisonment for Meredith's death as well as the media firestorm and public vitriol that followed, all while battling to prove her innocence. — CI Premieres Aug. 20 on Hulu Political thrillers aren't usually my go-to, but 'Hostage' quickly grabbed me. Part of that is thanks to the cast, but I also appreciate that it doesn't rely on over-the-top action or constant explosions. After watching the first trailer, I'm even more excited. 'Hostage' follows Prime Minister Abigail Dalton (Suranne Jones), who faces a harrowing crisis when her husband is kidnapped, with kidnappers demanding her resignation. At the same time, the visiting French President (Julie Delpy) is blackmailed, creating a tense political standoff. What makes me confident this will be good is Jones leading the show. She's known for her powerful performances in dramas like 'Doctor Foster' and 'Gentlemen Jack,' infusing stories with plenty of emotion and intensity. Plus, with her also serving as executive producer, I'm sure this series has been thoughtfully made. — AB Premieres Aug. 21 on Netflix 'Peacemaker' holds an interesting spot in the DCU canon. The first season technically isn't canon anymore, nor is star John Cena's appearance as the titular antihero in the 2021 film 'The Suicide Squad.' A large part of season 2 will be establishing parts of what happened in those stories as part of the DCU canon. But another big part of 'Peacemaker' season 2 will be dealing with the interdimensional portal that Chris aka Peacemaker has access to and the dimensional rift it causes when he leaves this dimension for another one. He'll also have to contend with Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) hunting him down to avenge his son's death in the 2021 Suicide Squad movie, and avoiding Red St. Wild (Michael Rooker), the world's premier eagle hunter who wants to kill Peacemaker's animal sidekick, Eagly. — MM Premieres Aug. 21 on HBO Max Earth's last hope is a team-up like no other. The third season of the sprawling sci-fi thriller brings together the scattered survivors for one impossible mission: sneak aboard the alien mothership and stop the takeover. With Golshifteh Farahani, Shamier Anderson, and fresh face Erika Alexander leading the charge, tensions run high as old friendships are tested and new alliances form. Humanity hangs by a thread as the aliens' motives are finally about to be revealed. — KW Premieres Aug. 22 on Apple TV Plus Raphael Bob-Waksberg, the genius behind 'BoJack Horseman,' is back with another animated comedy. 'Long Story Short' follows the Schwooper siblings, a Jewish family from Northern California. The twist is that the story jumps all over the place in time, showing everything from their childhood screw-ups to their adult dilemmas and everything in between. The show blends Bob-Waksberg's signature wit with heartfelt moments. If you loved 'BoJack's' emotional depth wrapped in sharp humor, this one's made for you. — KW Premieres Aug. 22 on Netflix This Prime Video sci-fi comedy-drama has been a hidden gem for the streaming service.'Upload' is set in a world where you can upload yourself into a virtual afterlife upon your death, which, in theory, sounds great. In practice, though, the evil corporation Horizen ruined it, creating a caste system where the rich get a top-tier afterlife and the poor are stuck using a freemium version with data caps, meaning you could spend months of your afterlife digitally frozen, awaiting more data. That's led to some drama, both in the digital world and the real one, with Nathan 'Nate' Brown (Robbie Amell) at the center of it. A computer programmer who was killed for nearly ruining everything for Horizen and now, he's on a mission to expose Horizen's crimes. In the process, a duplicate Nate was created from a backup, but in the season 3 finale, it was revealed that one of them was killed. Tune in to the fourth and final season to see how the story ends. — MM Premieres Aug. 25 on Prime Video Looks like love-triangle complications will still be waiting for Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez) upon her grand return to Silver Falls, Colorado after a much-needed summer away in New York City. When we catch up with her, Cole (Noah LaLonde), Alex (Ashby Gentry) and the rest of the Walter clan when the YA series adaptation returns on Netflix on Thursday, August 28, it's quickly obvious that those romantic dramas haven't magically disappeared upon Jackie's departure. When she returns, 'Jackie is determined to make amends with Alex and set boundaries with Cole while finding her place within the Walter family. But fitting back in isn't that easy, reads the season 2 synopsis. Alex, who is busy training for a risky rodeo event, isn't too thrilled about Jackie's attempts to reconnect, while Cole is unsuccessfully trying to fill the void left by not playing football, causing his old ways to come worryingly creeping back in. — CI Premieres Aug. 28 on Netflix Richard Osman has become a cherished name in British entertainment. After building a strong TV presence, he successfully ventured into fiction with his popular 'Thursday Murder Club' series, which centers on a group of senior friends living in a retirement community who team up to crack both old and new murder mysteries. Now, the debut novel has been turned into a Netflix movie featuring a star-studded cast, bringing these beloved characters to life on screen for the very first time. 'The Thursday Murder Club' follows four lively retirees — played by Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley, and Celia Imrie — who meet weekly in their retirement village to solve cold cases. Their hobby takes a serious turn when a real murder happens nearby, pulling them into a genuine mystery. — AB Premieres Aug. 28 on Netflix
