‘The Residence' and ‘Pulse' Canceled at Netflix

The Residence is a White House-set murder mystery starring Uzo Aduba as Cordelia Cupp, the 'greatest detective in the world.' The series hails from Shonda Rhimes' Shondaland and creator/showrunner Paul William Davies (Scandal). Had the series gone forward, the plan was for it to become an anthology with Cupp taking on a new case each season.
The cast for the first (and now only) season also features Randall Park, Giancarlo Esposito, Susan Kelechi Watson, Edwina Findley, Bronson Pinchot, Mary Wiseman, Julieth Restrepo, Al Mitchell, Mel Rodriguez, Ken Marino, Jason Lee and Jane Curtin, among others.
Davies executive produced the series with Shondaland principals Rhimes and Betsy Beers.
In its four weeks in Netflix's global top 10, The Residence had 177.4 million hours of viewing, equivalent to 22.9 million full runs of the season ('views' in Netflix and other streamers' parlance). In those same four weeks, Nielsen recorded about 83.1 million hours of viewing, about 47 percent of the worldwide total. The Residence spent two additional weeks in the Nielsen rankings, adding 15.55 million more hours just above 2 million more views.
Pulse was Netflix's first take at a medical procedural. Over its four weeks in the streamer's worldwide rankings, it drew 20.2 million views and 162.1 million total viewing hours. Its release also coincided with growing momentum for Max's hospital drama The Pitt, which had its first season finale the week after Pulse debuted. In the United States, Pulse spent just two weeks on the Nielsen streaming charts.
Willa Fitzgerald, Colin Woodell, Justina Machado, Jack Bannon, Jessie T. Usher, Jessy Yates, Chelsea Muirhead, Daniela Nieves, Néstor Carbonell, Jessica Rothe, Santiago Segura, Ash Santos and Arturo Del Puerto starred. Zoe Robyn created the series and served as co-showrunner with Carlton Cuse; they executive produced with Bradley Gardner, Emma Forman, Michael Klick and Kate Dennis.
In addition to the cancellations, a third Netflix rookie, No Good Deed, is on an indefinite hiatus following its first season, released in December 2024. There is still a chance that the dark comedy from Liz Feldman (Dead to Me) could return as an anthology, but nothing is planned at the moment.
Deadline first reported the news.

I'm confident that Stranger Things 5 will be the Netflix show's best season
Stranger Things season 5 is shaping up to be one of the biggest television events of the century. After the evil Vecna opened a giant portal to the Upside Down in Hawkins, the show will present the final chapter of the heroes' years-long war with him and his legion of monsters. As one of the most acclaimed TV shows of all time, Stranger Things has set some high bars for itself, particularly with its first and fourth seasons on Netflix. The show will have to live up to a lot of lofty expectations to provide a satisfying final season for audiences. However, Stranger Things has already shown it has the key ingredients to make season 5 the best chapter in the show's history. Will will play a central role in the season's story Since the show's inception, Will Byers has been one of the most important characters in Stranger Things. Though he was absent for most of season 1, his kidnapping by the Demogorgon was the catalyst for the events of the entire series. While Will had a greater presence in subsequent seasons, his role in the story gradually diminished over time. In season 4, Will's character largely took a back seat while he and his friends focused on rescuing Eleven. Recommended Videos This should all change with season 5 now that Will and his family are back in Hawkins, which has been infiltrated by the Upside Down. Stranger Things should thus give a greater spotlight on Will and how he has been affected by Vecna's reign of terror, with the season 5 trailer teasing more of young Will's fight for survival during his time in the Upside Down. Since Will and Vecna continue to share a psychic link, the former may be a crucial part of the villain's plan in season 5. However, this bond may also help Will and his allies destroy Vecna once and for all, bringing the series full circle. Stranger Things 5 should also continue Will's arc of opening up to his loved ones about his sexuality. The show has been giving subtle hints to audiences that Will has been hiding his true self from everyone throughout its four seasons. After all the trauma and hardships Will has endured in the show, season 5 should finally give his character the closure he deserves and hopefully have him find the love he's been longing for in the series. The story will focus on the characters in Hawkins In season 4, the characters split up and embarked on missions in different corners of the globe. While some of the kids and adults stayed in Hawkins, other characters traveled across America or even into Russia. This massive, epic scope made for a distinctive story, but most of the cast were unable to showcase their compelling dynamics for much of the season. At the same time, the series just began to descend; the townspeople descended into panic as Vecna's actions killed more and more people. Stranger Things 5 will depict the main cast back together again since their return to Hawkins in season 4, allowing them to continue their lovable on-screen relationships in their hometown. From Hopper and Joyce embracing their romantic feelings to Nancy and Jonathan reuniting, the heroes of Hawkins may finally have the happy ending audiences have waited years to see once they defeat Vecna. With more monsters sprouting up, the series may also have the heroes finally opening up to their peers and loved ones about the cosmic terrors they have battled for so long in secret. This seems like it will be the case for Mike and Nancy, as the trailer implies that Vecna and his monsters will target the rest of their family. The truth about the Upside Down will be revealed Even after all these years, the Upside Down remains the biggest mystery in Stranger Things. The fourth season revealed that this strange, alternate dimension wasn't always a dark reflection of Hawkins. It also showed audiences that this world has somehow been frozen in time since Eleven opened the gate to it when the series began. Stranger Things 5 has plenty of mysteries to unravel to satisfy audiences who have stuck with the show for so long. As the heroes continue to explore the Upside Down to prevent it from consuming Hawkins, it's likely that the show will explain more of this world's history and origins. It may even elaborate more on the complex history Vecna has with the dreaded Mind Flayer, with one or both of them unleashing more hidden horrors from their dark dimension. Season 5 will feature the final battle against Vecna The entire series has been building up to the heroes' climactic battle with Vecna. Season 4 finally brought this psychic villain out of the shadows, revealing how he pulled the strings from the Upside Down and caused suffering for so many characters. Now that Vecna has created a giant gate in Hawkins, he seems ready to unleash an army of monsters on the town in an epic battle for the fate of humanity. The Stranger Things season 5 trailer has already shown Vecna appearing in Hawkins and hunting the heroes with his Demogorgons. With the U.S. military now stationed in the town, trying to stop the Upside Down's spread, audiences can expect to see a massive, bloody, and spectacular showdown straight out of The Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones. Overall, fans of Stranger Things have a lot to look forward to watching in the show's fifth and final season. The main characters will reunite in Hawkins to protect everyone in one last stand against Vecna and the Upside Down. Stranger Things should pay off all its build-up to present an epic, emotional, and mind-blowing conclusion to the series. Stranger Things 5 will premiere on Netflix on November 26, 2025.

Justin Thomas Drops 'Bad News' About Scottie Scheffler's 'Happy Gilmore 2' Performance
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After nearly three decades, Happy Gilmore is back on screens. The new sequel, "Happy Gilmore 2," premiered globally last week on Netflix and reunites Adam Sandler with his cult-favorite golf character and features a star-studded cast of athletes and celebrities. From PGA Tour legends to LPGA, NFL and LIV Golf pros, the film has quickly become the most talked-about sports comedy of the year. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 21: (L-R) Maxwell Jacob Friedman, Conor Sherry, Phillip Schneider, Bad Bunny, Ethan Cutkosky, Adam Sandler, Kyle Newacheck, Jackie Sandler, John Daly, Sunny Sandler, Christopher McDonald, Sadie Sandler, Fernando Marrero,... NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 21: (L-R) Maxwell Jacob Friedman, Conor Sherry, Phillip Schneider, Bad Bunny, Ethan Cutkosky, Adam Sandler, Kyle Newacheck, Jackie Sandler, John Daly, Sunny Sandler, Christopher McDonald, Sadie Sandler, Fernando Marrero, Lavell Crawford, Julie Bowen, Benny Safdie, Bryson DeChambeau, Oliver Hudson, Scottie Scheffler, Dan Lin, Haley Joel Osment, Jason Young, Ted Sarandos, Joseph Vecsey, Robert Simonds and Bela Bajaria attend the Happy Gilmore 2 World Premiere at Jazz at Lincoln Center on July 21, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by Kevin Mazur/for Netflix) More Getty Images But while fans are still laughing at the slapstick chaos and nostalgic callbacks, Justin Thomas had a different kind of reaction -- one that came with a wink and a warning. "I've got some good news and bad news," Thomas typed on Instagram on Sunday. "The good news is I actually think the golfers did pretty well in HG2! Bad news... it appears @ won again. The guy can't miss right now 😂 @netflix" The PGA Tour pro posted the caption alongside a behind-the-scenes clip from the film's shoot. The video featured cameos from Rory McIlroy, Nelly Korda, Bryson DeChambeau and Paige Spiranac, among others. But the spotlight, once again, fell on Scheffler, who, true to form, stole the show. What's Scottie Scheffler's role in Happy Gilmore 2? Scheffler plays a fictionalized version of himself. The two-time Masters winner plays a recurring role in the second half of the film than in the first half. In a comedic exchange, Scheffler asks Sandler's character how to handle physical confrontations on the golf course, poking fun at his own calm reputation in contrast to Happy's notorious hot-headedness. After getting provoked by rival golfer Harley (played by Oliver Hudson), Scheffler throws a textbook hockey-style punch, gets disqualified, and is promptly arrested. "Not again," he quips, referencing his real-life arrest last year amid the PGA Championship in Louisville. And yes, the film goes there. In one of the movie's biggest twists, Scheffler's character ends up getting arrested mid-tournament and tossed into jail. His final scene has him slumped in a jail cell, watching Happy win on a tiny TV screen while fellow inmates cheer. The timing of Scheffler's comedic moment couldn't be more thrilling. Just last week, the World No. 1 clinched his third leg of the career Grand Slam at the 153rd Open Championship, Royal Portrush, finishing 17-under-par with a four-shot victory. Image Collage of Tiger Woods and his former coach Butch Harmon during the 1999 British Open and Scottie Scheffler with the Claret Jug at the 2025 Open Championship.

(Image Credits: Getty Images) Getty Images It was his fourth major title, placing him alongside legends like Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player as players who won the Masters, PGA Championship and Open Championship before turning 30. Thomas's "bad news" jab was clearly tongue-in-cheek, but it echoed a growing sentiment on Tour that Scheffler is in a league of his own. And who knows, as the wind around the golf world says, he is the next Woods. The cast of "Happy Gilmore 2" is a blend of old favorites and new faces. Returning stars included Sandler as Happy Gilmore, Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit, Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin, Ben Stiller as Hal L. While the new additions has Bad Bunny as Oscar Mejías (Happy's caddie), Travis Kelce, Eminem, Post Malone and Spiranac. Additionally, golfers like McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, DeChambeau, Will Zalatoris and Thomas himself. More Golf: Min Woo Lee Cooking With Justin Bieber, Kendall Jenner During Tour Break

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2: Release date, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on July 28, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated July 28, 2025, 18:09 IST Hell's Kitchen is about to get even hotter. Daredevil: Born Again is officially coming back for Season 2, and after that cliffhanger-packed Season 1 finale, fans are dying to see what's next. With more action, deeper drama, and a few surprise faces along the way, Marvel's street-level saga is ramping up to deliver another knockout season. Here's everything we know so far—from when it's dropping to who's back (and who's new), plus a look at what might be coming in Matt Murdock's next gritty chapter. When Is Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Coming Out? Mark your calendars— Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is slated to premiere on Disney+ in March 2026. That's a quick turnaround from Season 1's March 2025 debut, keeping fans hooked without the usual long wait. Production wrapped in July 2025 after kicking off in February, promising a tight eight-episode run packed with intense drama. Unlike Season 1's nine episodes, this season trims one episode but doubles down on stakes, with whispers of a darker, more thrilling story. Who's Back in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Cast? Season 2 is bringing back most of the fan-favorite cast, plus some fresh blood to shake things up in Hell's Kitchen. Returning Faces: Charlie Cox is back as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, now rocking a sleek black suit straight out of the 'Shadowland' comics. He's hinted this season contains some of his favorite Daredevil scripts yet. Vincent D'Onofrio returns as Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin—now the mayor of New York and more dangerous than ever. Deborah Ann Woll reprises her role as Karen Page. This time, she's got a bold red wig and an expanded arc that fans are buzzing about. Elden Henson is also back as Foggy Nelson. Yes, even after what happened in Season 1—he's expected to appear through emotional flashbacks. Wilson Bethel's Bullseye is back, now fully suited up with the iconic target logo. He's unstable, deadly, and definitely not done causing chaos. Ayelet Zurer returns as Vanessa Fisk, putting any recasting rumors to rest. Her dynamic with Kingpin looks like it'll get even more complex. You'll also see Margarita Levieva, Nikki M. James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson , and Michael Gandolfini back in their roles, continuing the grounded, street-level stories. Jon Bernthal's Punisher shows up too, though in a smaller role, possibly as a lead-in to a spin-off special. And the big surprise? Krysten Ritter is back as Jessica Jones , officially folding her Netflix antihero into the Disney+ Marvel universe. Royce Johnson and Susan Varon , familiar faces from the Netflix era, are also back—helping keep that gritty tone fans loved. Camila Rodriguez is appearing as Angela del Toro, niece of the original White Tiger. Expect some vigilante legacy threads. Newcomers: Matthew Lillard joins the show in a morally complex role that's still under wraps. Based on his past work, expect something unpredictable. Lili Taylor plays the Governor of New York and a major political threat to Fisk—yes, things are getting political. Sydney Parra, Annie Parisse, and James Armstrong have all been spotted on set, though their roles are still a mystery. What Can Fans Expect from Season 2? Season 2 picks up right after Fisk's power play at the end of Season 1, with New York under martial law thanks to his Anti-Vigilante Task Force. Matt Murdock is fully embracing his Daredevil identity again—and this time, he's not holding back. Here's what's brewing: Daredevil vs Kingpin 2.0: This rivalry is now political, personal, and brutal. With Fisk in the mayor's seat, Matt is fighting not just crime, but the entire system. Bullseye Unleashed: Bethel's return means more chaos, and his upgraded comic-accurate suit suggests he's not just back—he's ready to wreak havoc. Jessica Jones x Daredevil: The crossover we didn't know we needed. Their personalities clash, but both have a deep respect for justice—expect tension, team-ups, and maybe a few philosophical fights. The 'Shadowland' Vibes: Matt's black suit and some cryptic comments from D'Onofrio have fans thinking we might see elements of the Shadowland storyline, where Daredevil wrestles with darker leadership—possibly even taking over The Hand. Political Intrigue Meets Street Brawls: With Lili Taylor's governor going toe-to-toe with Fisk and Lillard's mystery character stirring the pot, the show's scale is expanding without losing its street-level heart. Flashbacks and Heartbreak: Foggy's return—even if only in memories—promises to pack an emotional punch. Karen's arc will dig deeper into her resilience and relationship with Matt. And yes—this season isn't just setting up the next fight. Marvel TV boss Brad Winderbaum has teased long-term plans, even throwing around words like 'Season 3' and 'Season infinity.' So Daredevil's just getting started. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
