Which LGBTQ Non-Canon Ships Are The Best?
There are a lot of relationships in TV shows that I can't help but swoon over, and seeing their romances play out on screen just makes me get all giggly and be excited. However, for every canon couple, there are always the non-canon ones, aka the ones where two actors have such mesmerizing chemistry that fans end up shipping their characters, but they never actually get together onscreen. And, a lot of times, sadly, they are LGBTQ+–focused non-canon couples. And yes, platonic best friends do 100% exist — and those are some of my favorite relationships on TV too — but sometimes it's just undeniable the romantic chemistry. Like, Emma and Regina in Once Upon a Time. You know? So, in honor of Pride 2025, I want to know which queer non-canon ships keep you up at night and you love with your whole soul. Like, maybe you're like me, and Kara and Lena on Supergirl will always be the couple that SHOULD have happened, but just never did. Like, I think about them every day. Perhaps you're in the thick of the 9-1-1 fandom that wants Buck and Eddie's friendship to turn romantic because Oliver Stark and Ryan Guzman have such electric chemistry, it would be the crime of the century if nothing romantically happens between them. Maybe you're a huge fan of Yellowjackets, namely, you cannot stop thinking about Jackie and Shauna. Like, Sophie Nélisse and Ella Purnell were so good together, and Jackie haunting the narrative is just exquisite. Heck, perhaps you want to throw it back to OG Tumblr days, where all you thought about was John and Sherlock on Sherlock, and the chemistry between Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch. So, tell us which non-canon couples in a show or movie you adore and WHY in the comments or with the Google Form below, and you could be featured in a BuzzFeed Community post!

Milly Alcock Opens Up About Terrifying SUPERGRIL Screen Test - 'I Thought I Was Going to Vomit' — GeekTyrant
Suited up in red and blue, standing under hot lights, next to another hopeful contender, it's not exactly a relaxing walk in the Fortress of Solitude. In a recent interview with Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow star Milly Alcock opened up about the nerve-wracking screen test that landed her the job, and it sounds like it was a pretty intense experience for her. Alcock, who rocketed into the spotlight with House of the Dragon and is currently promoting her new Netflix series Sirens , has mostly stayed tight-lipped about her role as Kara Zor-El. But she finally gave fans a peek behind the curtain, saying: 'During a screen test, you're in a room with all the other women [vying for the same part] and you're all dressed as the character. [The studio] will get you lined up in the makeup truck and put the same makeup on you all and then test you on a stage. 'For Supergirl, it was myself and another girl. It was really scary; I thought I was going to vomit! But it's just fear! That's what happens! This job has been a journey of overcoming my own fear.' Landing the part didn't immediately feel like a triumphant victory either. Alcock said: 'I was kind of in disbelief. I was initially like, 'What have I done?' I then invited all my friends over to the house and we drank champagne.' That blend of anxiety, disbelief, and celebration must've been a wild expericnce. Woman of Tomorrow promises a harder-edged Kara Zor-El, someone who's been through hell before she even sets foot on Earth. James Gunn described her as 'much more hardcore,' contrasting her with her cousin Superman, who had the benefit of a loving Earth upbringing. The movie, based on Tom King's acclaimed 2022 comic, will follow Kara as she takes a cosmic journey with Krypto the Superdog to celebrate her 21st birthday, only to get tangled up with a girl named Ruthye and a brutal revenge mission. The cast includes 3 Body Problem 's Eve Ridley as Ruthye, Matthias Schoenaerts as the villain Krem, and Aquaman 's Jason Momoa as Lobo. Most recently, David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham joined the crew as Kara's Kryptonian parents, Zor-El and Alura. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow hits theaters June 26, 2026, and I'm very curious to see what's in store for this DC movie.

Preview The DCU's Supergirl With A Top New Netflix Show
Sirens Netflix You know her from House of the Dragon, James Gunn found her through House of the Dragon, but actress Milly Alcock remains something of an unknown quantity for most viewers. She has been cast as the DCU's Supergirl, who will both appear in this summer's Superman and then be one of the first DC characters to get her own movie immediately, and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is already filming. Alcock has appeared in seven total episodes of House of the Dragon playing a young Rhaenyra Targaryen before being replaced by Emma D'Arcy as her older counterpart, reappearing only in a hallucinatory Daemon dream sequence. Alcock starred in a few shows before landing her big HBO break, but now she has her longest, most high-profile part yet outside of HotD. That would be the Netflix series Sirens, which held the service's #1 spot briefly, in which Alcock stars opposite The White Lotus' Meghann Fahy with Kevin Bacon and Julianne Moore also starring. It's five hour-long episodes which feature Alcock as the devoted assistant slash almost-daughter of Julianne Moore's impossibly rich high society figure, obsessed with saving birds and leading what may be a cult. A cult that her sister, played by Fahy, attempts to rescue her from. House of the Dragon HBO It's a more modern role for Alcock compared to House of the Dragon, and she gets an enormous amount of screentime as the co-lead of the series. This is the first time we get a look at her American accent (she is Australian) which she will no doubt be using in her Supergirl movie. I mean, I suppose it's possible she doesn't, but that would be sort of odd. Alcock was as standout in House of the Dragon where James Gunn admitted that was the first time he noticed her, which was likely true of general audiences. From Sirens, I think it's a good preview of showing a different side of Alcock than we saw in her Game of Thrones spin-off. Two sides of the same actress that's about to have one of the highest-profile roles in a brand-new superhero universe. I think that most of the rest of the cast of the upcoming Superman are known quantities from Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane to Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor. The one exception I would say here is…Superman himself, David Corenswet, who I would say is probably even less known than Alcock who now has both HotD and a #1 Netflix show under her belt. I can't even point to a singular role of his that is on the same level. The last we saw him was in a supporting part in…Twisters? Again, despite a lot of roles, in the past 10 or so years, he's still pretty unknown. That's about to change. So yeah, I recommend Sirens as a decent drama but also a showcase for Alcock's talents who is great there. We'll see how she fares as Supergirl this summer.

‘Sirens' Dethroned In Netflix's Top 10 List By A New Show
Sirens Sirens has had some time on top of Netflix's top 10 list for a while now, performing well, but as a miniseries, it probably doesn't need to go on past this initial run (plus one of its leads needs to go be the new Supergirl). Now, the show has been unseated by something rather strange. It is not WWE RAW, which is actually in a surprising third place behind both Sirens and the new #1, Cold Case: The Tylenol Murders. Uh, what? Yeah, this happened. Here's the synopsis of what happened there: This happened in 1982, and I'll admit that I never knew this took place. It was a series of poisoning deaths in Chicago where people died from taking cyanide-laced Tylenol, something that was obviously not a factory defect. The most chilling part of all of this is that no one was ever found responsible for what was at least seven deaths from the poisonings. Top 10 The new Cold Case series is the length of a movie split into three parts, about 120 minutes in total. I'm not exactly sure why Netflix does this instead of just making it a movie, but it's been a tradition. Another high-profile entry in the Cold Case series was the murder of Jon Benet Ramsey, as the series focuses on well, Cold Cases that went unsolved, as the name suggests. I just finished Sirens which I thought was okay. It has good performances from its stars, albeit mired in what was not the greatest plotline and I think it's going to be an ultimately forgettable series. Even if it wasn't a miniseries, I would not be in favor of it returning for season 2. Another new entry to the list comes in at #4, She the People, a Tyler Perry show that spans eight 25-minute episodes as a quick watch, and one that seems to be angling for more series past that. It's about a politician, her 'wacky family' and a bodyguard she seems to have a crush on. It's a comedy, in case that wasn't clear. Further down the list, we have the overperforming The Four Seasons which was greenlit for a second season already. Then the 100%-rated murder mystery, Secrets We Keep, which I'm going to say is probably a 60% at best after having watched it. But hey, make your own judgment.

Milly Alcock Opens Up About Awkward Early Moment on HOUSE OF THE DRAGON: 'We're Gonna Get You an Acting Coach' — GeekTyrant
Milly Alcock big breakout role was in House of the Dragon , and soon, we'll be seeing her soar into the DC Universe as Supergirl. But it turns out her first days in Westeros weren't quite the confidence boost you'd expect for someone destined to wear the cape of Kara Zor-El. During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon , Alcock shared a brutally honest and funny story about what happened on just her second day filming the Game of Thrones prequel series. 'On my second day on House of the Dragon, one of the—I'm not gonna say who, but someone very high up—pulled me aside and was like, 'Um, we're gonna get you an acting coach.' Ouch. That would've been rough to hear as an actor. Alcock, who was already an award-winning actor in Australia thanks to her work on Upright , said the moment pretty much confirmed all her worst fears. She joked: 'It just confirmed everything that I've kind of known to be true, [which] is that I'm not very good at my job, You know what I mean! I was like, 'I can't do this. This is terrible. This is a big mistake.'' To his credit, Fallon quickly reassured her that her take on young Princess Rhaenyra was an instant fan-favorite. Alcock's performance was one of the strongest and most memorable parts of House of the Dragon 's first season, earning praise across the board. Now, Alcock is stepping into the role of Supergirl in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow , directed by Craig Gillespie ( Cruella, I, Tonya ) and part of the newly rebooted DC Universe from James Gunn and Peter Safran. According to the official synopsis, the film will follow Kara Zor-El on a wild intergalactic revenge mission after meeting a young girl named Ruthye (played by Eve Ridley), and yes—Krypto the Superdog will be along for the ride. It's based on the acclaimed comic series by Tom King and Bilquis Evely and is slated to hit theaters June 26, 2026.
