The Rumor About 'Doctor Who's' Future Going Forward Is More Positive Than We Expected

Yahoo08-07-2025
"Doctor Who" ended its latest season on an exciting cliffhanger with a big mystery to unravel regarding why The Doctor looks like Rose Tyler. However, there's a bigger issue for the series to solve in the real world. There's still no official ruling on a season renewal for the series, and with persistent rumors that Disney may pull out of its co-partnership with The BBC, the network has some big questions to address ahead of any new episodes. Fortunately, there is a positive rumor to shine some potential light on what could've been a dark time for the franchise. The news comes from "Who" insider Daniel Richtman, who notes that while the days of streaming new episodes of "Doctor Who" with a Disney+ subscription may be at an end, there's optimism it will end up elsewhere

Guillermo del Toro's ‘Frankenstein' Looks Absolutely Stunning

When Guillermo del Toro finally got the chance to make his dream project, an adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, you just knew it was going to be beautiful. Del Toro's films are known for a lot of things, and sumptuous production design and costumes are right near the top of the list. So, it almost goes without saying that a group of new images from the film are stunning, but these almost go beyond that. First revealed in an article by Vanity Fair and then released by Netflix, 10 new images from Frankenstein show characters, scenes, and interpretations that were previously kept secret. Here they are, all at once, and we can discuss a few of them in more detail below. Clearly, we could write tomes on the beauty of each of these images. The costumes, the sets, the locations. Each one is also framed in an interesting way that helps tell a story. But, we won't do that. What we will do, though, is fill in a few questions about who's who in these photos. Del Toro himself is just in that first image, along with Oscar Isaac as Dr. Victor Frankenstein. We see Victor in his lab in a later photo, too. The photo on the steps is of Victor as a child with his mother, and a little later, you see Victor again (played at a younger age by Christian Convery) with his father, played by Charles Dance. The photo of someone holding a photo is, indeed, Elordi's monster, who we see covered in a cloak further down. Mia Goth plays Elizabeth, Victor's soon-to-be sister-in-law, who both he and the monster become infatuated with. The second photo of Goth is with her fiancé, Victor's brother William Frankenstein, played by Felix Kammerer. That leaves the man in the top hat, an arms dealer played by Christoph Waltz, and that mysterious photo among the flowers. That's Sofia Galasso and David Bradley as a little girl and a blind man who are in the original book. What does it all mean? We'll find out in November when Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein comes to Netflix. Want more io9 news?

I've stayed at all of Disney World's priciest resorts — only one's worth it for its easy park access and great amenities

I visit Disney World at least twice a month. On about half of my trips, I stay at the most expensive resorts on the property, which Disney labels "deluxe." Deluxe resorts are often the closest to the theme parks and feature upgraded amenities and special restaurants. As they're above Disney's lower-cost value resorts and moderate options, they can get pricey. Starting rates at the deluxe resorts typically start at about $500 a night. I love all of the high-end places I've stayed at, but if I had to recommend just one on the entire Disney World property, it'd be the Riviera Resort. The resort brings a chic European style to the heart of Disney World From the outside, the grayish resort doesn't look like much. However, the interior is stunning and filled with custom artwork inspired by Disney's princesses and movies set in Europe, like "The Aristocats." I also love that the resort has two pools. One is a dedicated quiet pool with plush seating and shaded tables that's mainly for adults looking to relax. The other is more family-friendly with a slide and water features that are fun for kids. There's also plenty of upscale amenities on the property, like a beautiful gym and a rooftop bar overlooking the Disney Skyliner gondola system. Even better, the Skyliner can easily take guests to two of Disney's theme parks, Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Getting to the latter can sometimes take about 30 minutes (and requires a transfer), but the ride to Epcot is only about eight minutes. The resort has a broad range of accommodations, ranging from studios that sleep two to massive three-bedroom villas that sleep 12 and are complete with a formal dining room, full kitchen, and outdoor deck. My favorite is the resort's one-bedroom villa, which can sleep up to five people. It has a beautiful main bedroom that's attached to a marble-covered bathroom. The open living room and kitchen double as another sleeping space with two pull-down beds. The villa has a lot of storage, which I really love. It means I can unpack and spread out, but my space never looks cluttered throughout my stay. There are great dining options at Disney's Riviera Resort I often like to cook my own food to save money on Disney trips — it's cheaper than buying every meal at the parks or a hotel. However, the Riviera Resort has great dining options for a splurge meal. My favorite is Topolino's Terrace for Breakfast à la Art with Mickey & Friends. This character-dining experience is a delightful way to spend a morning. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy make their way around the restaurant to take photos with guests as they munch on dishes like sour-cream waffles with roasted apples and French-toast bread pudding. Other dining options around the resort are Bar Riva, an excellent pool bar serving drinks and sizable lunch and dinner plates, and Primo Piatto, a quick-service restaurant dishing out everything from hot sandwiches and pizza to soups and salads. Plus, there's plenty to do on the property once the sun goes down During the day, I love spending time in the resort's pools. At night, I always find lots to do around the property. The resort hosts nightly movies on its lawn, where you can catch an animated Disney classic. I also love the free marshmallow roasts that happen each evening around a fire. When it's time for the Epcot fireworks, I head up to Topolino's Terrace for incredible viewing on the outdoor patio. About 30 minutes before the show begins, I like to grab a drink from the bar that I can enjoy outside— its old-fashioneds are incredible. This is the resort I always recommend to friends When friends ask me where to stay at Disney World, the Riviera Resort is always my first suggestion if they have extra room in their vacation budgets. Though a stay can be pricey, I still think the resort is a good pick for its easy access to two theme parks, ample dining options, exceptional amenities, and large rooms for bigger families. I've stayed here a handful of times and always enjoy my vacation. Even if the resort isn't in your budget, you should still try to get to Topolino's Terrace for breakfast.

King of the Hill: Here's everything to know about season 14's long-awaited comeback

By Aman Shukla Published on July 29, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated July 29, 2025, 10:28 IST After 15 years, it's finally happening— King of the Hill is returning, and fans couldn't be more excited. Hank Hill and the gang are back in Arlen, Texas, bringing all the propane-fueled charm and dry humor we've missed. Whether you grew up with the show or just discovered it, Season 14 promises both a hefty dose of nostalgia and some timely, grown-up storytelling. When Does King of the Hill Season 14 Come Out? Mark your calendars: the new season drops on August 4, 2025, exclusively on Hulu in the U.S. All 10 episodes will be released at once, so go ahead and plan your binge. International viewers can catch the revival on Disney+ via the Hulu Hub. This marks the first new season since the original series wrapped back in 2010. Hulu gave the green light for the reboot in January 2023, and fans got a sneak peek—including an updated intro showing a grown-up Bobby Hill—during the ATX Television Festival in May 2025. Who's in the Cast? The new season brings back most of the original voice actors, with a few changes and new additions that reflect real-life losses and fresh storylines. Mike Judge returns as both Hank Hill and Boomhauer , keeping the heart of the show intact. Kathy Najimy is back as the ever-confident Peggy Hill , now adjusting to retired life. Pamela Adlon voices Bobby Hill , who's now 21 and chasing his dreams as a chef in Dallas. Stephen Root returns as the sweet but unlucky Bill Dauterive . Lauren Tom continues to voice both Connie and her mom Minh Souphanousinphone. Ashley Gardner reprises Nancy Gribble, Dale's wife and the town's news anchor. Before his passing in 2023, Johnny Hardwick recorded six episodes as the ever-paranoid Dale Gribble. For the rest, Toby Huss (formerly the voice of Kahn) steps in. Meanwhile, Ronny Chieng is now voicing Kahn, giving the fiery neighbor a fresh twist. We also meet some new faces: Keith David joins as Brian Robertson , a tenant renting out the Hill house while Hank and Peggy were away. Anthony 'Critic' Campos plays Emilio, a fellow chef working with Bobby. Sadly, Luanne and Lucky won't return, as both Brittany Murphy and Tom Petty passed away before the revival was announced. Their absence is handled respectfully, keeping their legacy intact. What's Season 14 About? The show picks up years after the original finale with a time jump. Hank and Peggy are now retired, having spent some time working in Saudi Arabia (yep, really). They return to an Arlen that feels a little different—more tech, new neighbors, and a culture that's evolved. Meanwhile, Bobby is no longer the goofy middle-schooler we knew. He's 21, living in Dallas, and working at a trendy 'German sushi robata' restaurant (try saying that three times fast). His career choice raises a few eyebrows—especially from Hank, who still believes propane is the future. The new season tackles some pretty relevant issues while staying true to the show's grounded tone: Cultural appropriation comes up as Bobby tries to learn about robata grilling and sourcing traditional charcoal. Surveillance and misinformation are explored through Dale's usual antics, including a wild trip to the Bush Presidential Library. Aging, health, and purpose weigh on Hank as he deals with doctor visits, tax troubles, and trying to stay useful in a fast-changing world. Family tension shows up when Peggy crashes at Bobby's apartment post-MRI, and Bobby struggles to reconnect with Connie as adults. And there's a mysterious twist involving a Souphanousinphone anniversary party that hides a secret only Hank knows. Episode titles like 'Return of the King' and 'Chore Money, Chore Problems' give a good idea of the tone: heartfelt, hilarious, and occasionally a little sad—in that classic King of the Hill way.
