Netflix has released the trailer for Season 7 of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror anthology series, and it's already boasting several connections to prior Black Mirror installments.

Largest among them is the fact that we're getting a sequel to Season 4's "U.S.S. Callister," making this the first time Black Mirror has done a direct sequel. Original cast members Cristin Milioti, Billy Magnussen, Milanka Brooks, Osy Ikhile, and Jimmi Simpson will all reprise their roles.

The trailer also reveals another connection, this time to the interactive special Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, as Will Poulter and Asim Chaudhry both appear to be returning as their Bandersnatch characters. Could we be getting two Black Mirror sequels in one season?

The rest of the trailer teases "six electrifying stories," from a black-and-white world populated by AI to Peter Capaldi as what appears to be some kind of cult leader. Black Mirror Season 7's cast also includes Awkwafina, Emma Corrin, Patsy Ferran, Paul Giamatti, Lewis Gribben, Rashida Jones, Siena Kelly, Rosy McEwen, Chris O'Dowd, Issa Rae, Paul G. Raymond, Tracee Ellis Ross, Harriet Walter, Michele Austin, Ben Bailey Smith, Josh Finan, James Nelson-Joyce, Jay Simpson, and Michael Workéyè.

Catch them all in action above, and brace yourselves for dystopian dread.

Black Mirror Season 7 premieres April 10 on Netflix.

In the first 24 hours of Donald Trump's new administration, the president signed 26 executive orders, setting an anti-progressive agenda in motion. Dozens more orders followed in the weeks after, with the Trump administration enacting 89 executive actions as of March, according to the nonpartisan American Presidency Project.

Legal challenges rolled in almost immediately. A mere six days after Trump's inauguration, Just Security, an online forum and publisher of legal and political analysis, had enough court filings and legal headlines to warrant a digital, Trump-focused litigation tracker — a running list of the civil rights organizations, labor unions, state governments, and individuals who have been pushing back against the barrage of executive orders and policy changes. Other legal groups have launched similar trackers.

As of this story's publishing, Just Security's tracker shows 119 open cases across 10 different topic areas, from government grants and assistance to environmental policy, like Trump's rescission of the United States' climate pledges and the deletion of climate data on federal sites.

Several federal courts have interceded in the president's actions, blocking or delaying some and reaffirming others. Here's a brief rundown of the administration's largest legal battlegrounds:

Attacks on LGBTQ rights 

The Trump administration took little time in issuing an anti-transgender executive order in its first week, declaring the existence of just "two biological sexes," determined at the "point of conception." The order has already initiated a rolling back of protections for LGBTQ people and the weaponization of federal law against trans communities, according to both the Human Rights Campaign and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

The ACLU filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. State Department on behalf of seven plaintiffs for a new policy that bans the "X" gender marker on U.S. identification and forces individuals to carry passports listed with their assigned sex at birth rather than their gender identity. The ACLU argues that this violates Americans' right to travel and right to privacy, as well as the constitution's Equal Protection Clause. 

Several other lawsuits, including one filed by LGBTQ nonprofit PFLAG, challenge a Trump executive order that bans gender affirming care for transgender youth and another order that bans transgender student athletes from teams that align with their gender identity. PFLAG argues that such restrictions are a form of discrimination and an excessive use of presidential powers. 

Two cases take issue with the Pentagon's ban and removal of trans people serving in the military under the Constitution's due process and equal protection clauses, revitalizing a similar legal challenge during Trump's first term. Three other lawsuits focus on the forced housing of transgender inmates in prisons that don't align with their gender identity, a policy that studies indicate increases rates of violence and sexual trauma while contributing to a lower quality of care among prison populations.

Amid the flurry of first day actions, Trump also signed an executive order entitled "Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing" that directed the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to eradicate "illegal DEI" policies and programs. One day later, the president issued a follow-up order that revoked several equal employment opportunity directives. 

Several higher education groups, including the National Education Association (NEA) and American Federation of Teachers (AFT), are suing the administration for its OMB anti-DEI directives. Both the NEA and AFT's cases center on a Dear Colleague Letter published by the Department of Education Office for Civil Rights, which enforced a U.S. Supreme Court decision that would ban affirmative action and direct colleges to end DEI programs or lose federal funding. The organizations argue the ban is a violation of free speech, due process, and the Administrative Procedure Act, which governs rule making by federal agencies.

Other national organizations, like the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education and the National Urban League, filed lawsuits claiming the executive orders against DEI and equal employment policies were similarly unconstitutional. Regional and community groups also filed suit against the termination of DEI programs, citing the order's impact on funding, programming, and their constituencies themselves. Groups include the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and Chicago Women in Trades. 

The lawsuits don't just castigate Trump — federal entities implicated in these lawsuits include the National Endowment for the Arts, acting Education Secretary Denise Carter, and the entire Department of Education.

In compliance with an executive order titled "Protecting The American People Against Invasion," Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have ramped up their efforts to detain and remove undocumented people residing in the U.S., in line with Trump's goal to deport migrants in historic numbers during his second term. 

For example, the administration has ordered expedited removals of certain residents without trials under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) — immigrant rights nonprofit Make the Road New York sued the administration arguing the unconstitutionality of the order. On Jan. 20, the DHS issued a new set of ICE and CBP guidelines rescinding Biden administration rules that prevented agents from conducting raids close to or in "sensitive" areas, such as places of worship, schools, and hospitals. Dozens of religious and cultural groups, including Quaker and Mennonite congregations, as well as the Denver Public School System, filed separate lawsuits against the DHS for violating the constitution's right to the freedom of religion, as well as the Administrative Procedure Act and Freedom of Information Act.

Other actions being fought in courts include the decision by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelan asylum seekers, the removal of refugee and asylum programs, the sunsetting of the CBP One app, and the decision to transfer detained migrant populations to Guantanamo Bay. 

Another day one executive order, "Protecting The Meaning And Value Of American Citizenship," excluded birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented residents. Just Security reports the order has received more than a dozen legal challenges —  submitted by the ACLU, immigrant rights organizations, 18 state governments, and individuals affected by the new policy — arguing that it is a misinterpretation of the rights afforded in the Fourteenth Amendment.

The actions of the Trump-branded Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its leader Elon Musk (aka the head honcho of X, SpaceX and Tesla), have faced a multitude of legal challenges, Just Security notes. 

Advocacy group Public Citizen and several workers unions sued the OMB for establishing DOGE under the Executive Office of the President, arguing that allowing a private citizen (Musk) to access citizen information is a violation of the Federal Advisory Committee Act — the case was later dropped in favor of pursuing the issue in separate cases. Public Citizen also took the Treasury Department to court for allegedly allowing DOGE to access citizens' sensitive data. National Security Counselors, Inc. and the American Public Health Association have sued on similar grounds, and at least a dozen other lawsuits have been filed challenging DOGE's access to personal and financial information at large. Plaintiffs in those cases include the Electronic Privacy Information Center, the University of California Students Association, the Alliance for Retired Americans and the American Federation of Government Employees. 

Other groups — like Democracy Forward, Project on Government Oversight and Environmental Defense Fund — have filed Freedom of Information Act requests to access details on DOGE operations. Several lawsuits, including one brought forth by a group of U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) employees, challenge Musk's appointment by evoking the Appointments Clause, as he wasn't confirmed by an official Senate vote. 

In February, Trump ordered a freeze on federal grants and loans. While the general freeze was halted by a judge who questioned its constitutionality, budget and grant funding has remained under attack by DOGE. Multiple groups challenged the administration for revoking funding, including the National Association of Nonprofits and 23 attorneys general in a joint filing. Other groups, including the Global Health Council and American Foreign Service Association, have filed lawsuits specifically against the dismantling of USAID, as well as cuts at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). 

In March, 19 states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for the mass firing of recently hired government employees, arguing that probationary employees were falsely misled during their terminations. Prior to this lawsuit, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) issued an investigation into the firings, and ordered the reinstatement of some staff across agencies, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The German luxury carmaker said its latest compact sedan solved problems that had kept people from buying electric vehicles.

A European spacecraft on a journey to study NASA's asteroid crash site did a quick pop-in of Mars on its way, capturing unprecedented images of Mars' lesser-known moon, Deimos. 

Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, but scientists know relatively little about them, especially the smaller one, Deimos. Nearly all of the images they have of it were taken from the Martian surface by rovers, and because the moon is tidally locked — meaning one full spin matches the amount of time it takes to complete its orbit of Mars — only one side has been seen on the Red Planet. 

The Hera mission spacecraft captured views of the moon's far side, swinging within 625 miles of Deimos in space. 

While the car-sized spacecraft flew around the Mars system, flight controllers on Earth temporarily lost communication with Hera because the signal was blocked. Though the blackout was planned for the maneuver, Ian Carnelli, the European Space Agency's Hera mission manager, said it was deeply emotional. 

"I was almost in tears. I mean, I know probably this is normal for a flight for spacecraft operators, but every time we lose contact with a spacecraft, I'm super nervous," he said during a webcast following the flyby. "Then I was running to the room where the scientists were [watching for images], and as soon as I opened the door, they were screaming — really screaming."

Among those scientists was one of the co-founders of Queen. When Brian May isn't playing guitar riffs, he is an astrophysicist. As part of Hera's science team, May brings his expertise in stereoscopic imaging. That means he helps decipher complex scientific data into 3D pictures. 

During a webcast on Thursday, May described some of the topographical details of the moon already brought to life through the raw data. A depression in the city-sized moon was visible, a feature May described as a "saddle" on the left side and some little craters at the bottom.

"You feel like you're there, and you see the whole scene in front of you," he said. "The science that we get from this is colossal, and I think we're all like children."

Hera launched in October 2024 and will rendezvous with Dimorphos, an asteroid previously slammed by a NASA spacecraft, in 2026. Back in 2022, NASA deliberately crashed a spacecraft into a harmless asteroid to practice thwarting a space rock, should a hazardous one ever be on a collision course with Earth. The European Space Agency is providing a follow-up to that test.

The flyby of Mars and Deimos wasn't a detour but a necessary maneuver to put the spacecraft on the right trajectory toward its ultimate destination. Swinging within 3,100 miles of Mars, Hera used its gravity to adjust its course. 

Scientists would like to understand where Deimos and its partner Phobos came from — whether they were once asteroids captured in orbit around Mars or are chunks of the planet itself, blown out by a giant impact.

The new data may help them figure out the moon's origin. During the flyby, three instruments were used: a black-and-white navigation camera that takes pictures in visible light; a hyperspectral imager that can help discern an object's mineral composition; and a thermal infrared imager supplied by the Japanese space agency, JAXA, which can help characterize the texture and density of the material. Overall, thousands of images were collected, and the Hera team is still processing them. 

At the top of this story is an infrared photo of Deimos, backdropped by Mars. The Red Planet appears pale blue because the sun is shining on it. Its contribution to this scene would need to be removed for the colors to appear closer to how they would really look to our eyes.

Near the top of the image is the bright Terra Sabaea region, close to the Martian equator. At the bottom right of the region is the Huygen crater, and to its left is the Schiaparelli crater. At the bottom right of the planet is Hellas Basin, one of the largest known craters in the solar system. 

In a little less than two years, Hera will reach the target asteroids from NASA's DART mission to begin a crash investigation.

Samsung is rumored to launch the Galaxy Fold 7 sometime in July, and it appears as though the phone won’t be the only thing Samsung is bringing along to the party. Rumors suggest that they’ll also be debuting a pair of bone conduction headphones.

The rumor comes from noted leaker Ice Universe on Weibo, the Chinese social media site. Per the post (translated by Google Translate), Ice Universe says that “Samsung Electronics MX division will release bone conductive headphones at the Samsung Fold conference in July.” 

Details are limited, but Ice Universe says the codename of the headset is “Able” and it’ll use open wireless stereo (OWS) that “can transmit sound from around the ear instead of cramming the headphones into the ear.”

Other details like availability, design, color, and pricing were not mentioned. 

SEE ALSO: Samsung has phone concepts that bend, stretch and fold in every possible way

This may be a language barrier issue, but OWS and bone conduction are two different technologies. OWS — also known as air conduction — are basically earbuds that sit close to the ear without being inside of it, and sound transmits into the user’s ear canal. Bone conduction attaches to the side of the user’s head and bypasses the ear by transmitting sound through the skull. 

So, as TechRadar notes, Samsung is certainly making something, but we’re not entirely certain if the new headset will use air conduction, bone conduction, or some mixture of the two. However, the most logical conclusion is that OWS refers to the open earbud design, similar to the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, that sits on the outside of your ear. We may have to wait until July to know for sure. 

It would be a big step for Samsung as the bone conduction market is a little thin and could use a big player. For now, Shokz, Philips, and H2O top the market, so there is certainly room for the bone conduction space to grow. Consequently, if they are open wireless earbuds, Samsung would be joining Bose in tackling that newer market.

Meta will soon roll out its new fact-checking replacement, Community Notes, a crowd-sourced tool that will sunset the company's third party fact-checking team in favor of what Meta alleges is a "less biased" way to curb misinformation.

The company announced that the feature will begin testing among U.S. users on March 18, but Community Notes won't yet appear to the public while in beta testing. Once they do show up, users can expect to see small highlighted boxes at the bottom of Facebook, Instagram, and Threads posts, as well as options to contribute their own notes in the drop down menus on all Meta platforms. Notes will not have author names attached to them and will be capped at 500 words.

"We expect Community Notes to be less biased than the third party fact checking program it replaces because it allows more people with more perspectives to add context to posts," the company wrote. "This isn’t majority rules. No matter how many contributors agree on a note, it won’t be published unless people who normally disagree decide that it provides helpful context. "

SEE ALSO: Meta blocks whistleblower from promoting book, guaranteeing way more people will read it

Meta's approach is based entirely on the Community Notes feature that's become central to fact-checking at Elon Musk-owned X. Meta says it will use X's open source algorithm as the basis of its own rating system, with the potential to build out the feature as its deployed. "As X’s algorithm and program information is open source – meaning free and available for anyone to use – we can build on what X has done, learn from the researchers who have studied it, and improve the system for our own platforms," Meta explained. "We won’t be reinventing the wheel."

CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the policy shift in January, saying: "Fact-checkers have been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they’ve created... It's time to get back to our roots around free expression."

In February, the company opened up applications for what they're calling a "Community Notes network" of fact-checking contributors on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. Contributors had to be 18 years or older, have an account at least six months old, and be in good standing. Meta said more than 200,000 people signed up across the company's three platforms and were added to a pending waitlist — many will be notified that they have been accepted as contributors in the coming days.

Meta also confirmed that Community Notes won't apply to paid advertisements for the time being, a decision initially leaked by an anonymous source in January that stirred greater concern over the company's evolving moderation and hateful conduct policies in the name of free speech. Posts that are tagged with a note won't receive any kind of penalty, either, such as the reduced visibility built into Meta's previous fact-checking system.

There have always been horror stories about kids in the entertainment industry. It tracks, then, that kid influencers might run into the same sorts of perils.

A new Netflix docuseries Bad Influence examines allegations surrounding Tiffany Smith, the momager for kid influencer Piper Rockelle. They racked up millions of views and dollars, but people have come forward with disturbing allegations about Smith and the way she treated the "squad" of kid influencers surrounding her daughter. The trailer suggests Smith sexualized the minors in the videos to rack up views and that she created an environment where the kids were fearful.

Smith and Rockelle, for their part, have denied the allegations but did settle a lawsuit. The three-episode docuseries premieres on April 9.

Seth Meyers has become the latest late night host to roast Donald Trump and Elon Musk's White House Tesla ad, following the pasting Stephen Colbert gave it on Tuesday.

In the clip above Meyers goes through the footage — which followed the U.S. president promising to buy a Tesla after the company's stock price cratered — bit by bit, sharing his thoughts on everything from Trump saying he'll pay by cheque ("So fun to see the crypto president fully admit he's still a cheque guy — Bitcoin is the future, now real quick what day is it? I gotta mail this before they cut off the cable") to Trump saying "everything's computer!" after climbing inside one of the cars ("I give the man a hard time, but then he says something that really puts things in perspective").

Mashable's entertainment team has scoured the streaming services to highlight the most buzzed-about releases of this week and ranked them from worst to best — or least worth your time to most watchable. Whether you're looking for some '90s nostalgia-fuelled adventures, a live Netflix chat show, or one of the best and most devastating TV shows of 2025 so far, we've got something just for you.

Here's what's new on streaming, from worst to best.

12. The Electric State

We're calling it now, Electric State is one of the worst movies of 2025. Following on the heels of flops like Cherry and The Gray Man, directing duo Joe Russo and Anthony Russo deliver an overcrowded adaptation of Simon Stålenhag's novel Electric State. And it's an absolute eyesore that feels like a slog.

Stranger Things' Millie Bobbie Brown teams with Chris Pratt for a meandering adventure set in an alternate 1990's, where mankind has survived a way with AI robots — who look like beloved cartoon characters and Mr. Peanut. But to find the brother she thought she lost, one hard-headed teen (Brown) must traverse into the No Man's Land where bots still reign. In my review of Electric State, I jeered, "The Russos are not creators, they're collectors. And here, they basically turned a junkpile aesthetic into a trash movie." — Kristy Puchko, Entertainment Editor

Starring: Millie Bobbie Brown, Chris Pratt, Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrelson, and Giancarlo Esposito

How to watch: The Electric State comes to Netflix on March 14.

11. The Parenting

Meeting the parents takes a grisly turn in The Parenting, a horror comedy from Craig Johnson (The Skeleton Twins) that boasts a cast including Brian Cox, Parker Posey, Lisa Kudrow, Edie Falco, and Dean Norris. The film centers on couple Rohan (Nik Dodani) and Josh (Brandon Flynn), who have planned a weekend getaway to introduce their parents. But botched first impressions and incompatible families are nothing compared to the true horror of the weekend: a demon haunting the rental home.

Despite its stacked cast and the occasional standout line reading, The Parenting never takes its horror or comedy far enough, suffering instead from stilted pacing and tired family comedy clichés. But for all its flaws, it is a delight to see a possessed Cox in demon mode. On top of pulling some vomiting and head-spinning from The Exorcist's bag of tricks, his nasty tirades recall Cox's normal Succession dialogue. If you for some reason ever wondered what would happen if Logan Roy crossed paths with Pazuzu, The Parenting is your answer.. — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

Starring: Nik Dodani, Brandon Flynn, Brian Cox, Edie Falco, Lisa Kudrow, Dean Norris, Parker Posey, and Vivian Bang

How to watch: The Parenting is now streaming on Max.

10. Long Bright River

Amanda Seyfried stars Long Bright River, a limited series adaptation of Liz Moore's bestselling novel. The Emmy winner plays Mickey, a Philadelphia police officer who patrols her former neighborhood of Kensington, which was deeply impacted by the opioid crisis. When a string of murders strikes Kensington women, Mickey realizes her long-missing sister Kacey (Ashleigh Cummings) may be affected. She and her old partner Truman (Nicholas Pinnock) jump on the case, kicking off a suspenseful search that reopens old wounds from Mickey's past.

Long Bright River boasts strong performances, especially from a very grounded Seyfried, but as a crime drama, it doesn't feel like anything we haven't seen before. (The Pennsylvania setting doesn't help the already several Mare of Easttown similarities.) One of the most fascinating aspects of the show is the soured relationship between Mickey and Kacey, but with so much of it relegated to flashbacks, this central story of two estranged sisters never quite takes off. — B.E.

Starring: Amanda Seyfried, Nicholas Pinnock, Ashleigh Cummings, Callum Vinson, John Doman, Dash Mihok, Britne Oldford, Matthew Del Negro, Harriet Sansom Harris, Patch Darragh, and Perry Mattfeld

How to watch: Long Bright River is now streaming on Peacock.

9. Moana 2

Get ready to go "Beyond" all over again, because Moana 2 is coming to digital. The sequel to Disney's 2016 smash hit reunites us with wayfinder Moana (voiced by Auliʻi Cravalho) as she embarks on a new quest to save her home island of Motunui. This time around, she must find the legendary island of Motufetu, which was cursed long ago by the human-hating god Nalo, and reconnect all the ocean's peoples.

The ensuing journey is a blast, with Moana's new companions adding extra fun to the high seas, and with demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson) once again bringing his shapeshifting fun to the screen. Yet Moana 2 still falls short of Moana in several ways. Nalo proves to be an underwhelming villain, while Moana 2's songs are simply unmemorable without Lin-Manuel Miranda. As I wrote in my Moana 2 review, "Miranda's presence is greatly missed, with songs often feeling like lackluster rehashes of the first film's songs."* — B.E.

Starring: Auli'i Cravalho, Dwayne Johnson, Hualālai Chung, Rose Matafeo, David Fane, Awhimai Fraser, Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda, Temuera Morrison, Nicole Scherzinger, Rachel House, Gerald Ramsey, and Alan Tudyk

How to watch: Moana 2 is now streaming on Disney+.

8. Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2

Maybe you're a Yellowstone fiend. Maybe you've heard everyone and their horse telling you to watch the Kevin Costner-led cowboy series — especially after the show's December 2024 finale drew a reported 13.1 million viewers in three days, according to Paramount. If you missed it, Season 5, Part 2 is coming to Peacock, so you can watch the Dutton family defend their Montana ranch for one last time. Get caught up in political developer land grabs, family secrets, and bloody drama with Taylor Sheridan and John Lindan's popular series. — Shannon Connellan, UK Editor

Starring: Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Luke Grimes, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille, Gil Birmingham, Forrie J. Smith, Wendy Moniz, Moses Brings Plenty, Finn Little, Dawn Olivieri

How to watch: Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2 is streaming on Peacock from March 16.

7. Evil Dead

Two Evil Dead movies for the price of one are staggering their way to Shudder this spring, in the form of Sam Raimi's original 1981 The Evil Dead and the franchise's fourth instalment/reboot, Evil Dead (2013). Although the latter isn't an exact remake, both stories have a similar plot: A group of young characters staying at a cabin in the woods accidentally awaken some evil forces, and possession-themed chaos ensues. — Sam Haysom, Deputy UK Editor

Starring: Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss, Betsy Baker, Theresa Tilly, Richard DeManincor, Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Jessica Lucas, Lou Taylor Pucci, Elizabeth Blackmore

How to watch: The Evil Dead and Evil Dead are streaming on Shudder from March 15.

6. Am I Being Unreasonable Season 2

Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli's comedy/drama/horror Am I Being Unreasonable? was one of our favourite shows of 2023, so expectations on the sequel are high. Following a haunted and struggling mother (Cooper) who's reeling from the tragic death of her brother-in-law – a man she was also having an affair with – season two follows directly on from that very memorable memorial episode that closed out the last season. Like the first outing, the tone flips seamlessly between over-the-top comedy and disturbing psychological horror, with plenty of twists along the way. — S.H.

Starring: Daisy May Cooper, Selin Hizli, Lenny Rush, Dustin Demri-Burns, Charlie Cooper

How to watch: Am I Being Unreasonable? Season 2 is now streaming on Hulu.

5. Everybody's Live with John Mulaney

John Mulaney leads Netflix's latest foray into live TV with a brand new celebrity chat show. Everybody's Live with John Mulaney is the follow-up to his live show on the streaming service, Everybody's in L.A., which ran as part of last year's Netflix Is a Joke Festival. Mulaney's new weekly series will see the comedian interviewing some impressive guests including Joan Baez, Michael Keaton, Fred Armisen, Cypress Hill, and Jessica Roy. He'll also be joined by his sidekicks for the show, comedian Richard Kind and service robot Saymo. — S.C.

How to watch: Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney premiered live on Netflix Wednesday, March 12, at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT with new episodes weekly.

4. Dope Thief

Ready for a new crime drama full of twists, heralded actors, and character-driven humor? Based on the Daniel Tafoya novel, Dope Thief has all that and more.

Created by Peter Craig (The Town), this new Apple TV+ series stars Brian Tyree Henry as Ray Driscoll, a Philly entrepreneur with a unique business plan. Alongside his simple-minded bestie Manny (Wagner Moura), Ray impersonates a DEI agent to ambush low-level drug dealers, stealing their ill-gotten gains and illegal substances for profit. The money, they'll split. The drugs will go to a bigger dealer, who's a sort of father-figure to Ray. But when one of these raids goes sideways, there's fire, death, and a wounded survivor hellbent on revenge. Can Ray and Manny survive once they've got a vicious kingpin and the actual DEI on his trail? You'll have to tune in to find out! — K.P.

Starring:  Brian Tyree Henry, Wagner Maura, Marin Ireland, and Kate Mulgrew

How to watch: Dope Thief debuts with episodes 1 and 2 on Apple TV+ on March 14; new episodes drop weekly.

3. Wheel of Time Season 3

The Wheel of Time turns into its third season, and the stakes have never been higher. Dragon Reborn Rand al'Thor (Josha Stradowski) is on the run from the Forsaken, with his journey bringing him to the Aiel Waste. There, trials await him and his traveling companions, including Moiraine (Rosamund Pike) and Egwene (Madeleine Madden). Particularly disturbing is a vision that Moiraine receives that tells her Rand can only survive if she dies, and vice versa. Could we be losing one of our two leads this season?

SEE ALSO: How Amazon's 'Wheel of Time' is different from the books

Panic about that outcome aside, The Wheel of Time remains an epic fantasy treat three seasons in. The ensemble cast continues to click, even when thrown into new and intriguing combinations, and each new location explored provides ample opportunity for awe. Plus, magical battles are off the charts this season — look no further than the Aes Sedai smackdown in episode 1 for proof. — B.E.

Starring: Rosamund Pike, Daniel Henney, Josha Stradowski, Zoë Robins, Madeleine Madden, Marcus Rutherford, Dónal Finn, Ceara Coveney, Kate Fleetwood, Natasha O’Keeffe, Ayoola Smart, Kae Alexander, Laia Costa, Olivia Williams, Luke Fetherston, Callum Kerr, and Nuno Lopes

How to watch: The Wheel of Time Season 3 is now streaming on Prime Video, with a new episode every week.

2. O'Dessa

Patti Cake$ writer/director Geremy Jasper returns with a rock opera that was one of our most anticipated premieres out of SXSW, thanks to a propulsive soundtrack, trippy aesthetic, and moving tale of resistance and romance. 

Stranger Things' Sadie Sink stars as O’Dessa, a rambler who has a song in her heart and a destiny in her blood. In a dystopian world, a narcissistic dictator (Murray Batlett) numbs the population into poverty through an endless barrage of TV broadcasts. It's up to O'Dessa to bring her music to the masses and open their hearts and minds. Along the way, Jasper drenches his audience in an enchanting musical soundscape with visuals gorgeous and strange, making for a movie musical that feels familiar yet thrillingly fresh. — K.P.

Starring: Sadie Sink, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Murray Bartlett, Regina Hall, and Pokey LaFarge

How to watch: O'Dessa is now streaming on Hulu.

1. Adolescence

This is surely going to be one of the TV shows of the year. Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne's four-part mini-series, directed by Boiling Point collaborator Philip Barantini, uses a unique format to tell the story of a family torn apart after their 13-year-old son Jamie (Owen Cooper) is accused of murder. Each episode is filmed in one shot, a device that unfolds the story in unflinching and uncomfortable real time. The performances are stunning across the board and the writing delves into a difficult but timely subject matter. Memorable and harrowing. — S.H.

Starring: Stephen Graham, Ashley Walters, Erin Doherty, Owen Cooper, Faye Marsay, Christine Tremarco, Amelie Pease

How to watch: Adolescence is now streaming on Netflix.

Bitcoin, the world's most popular cryptocurrency, has had a big year. In 2024, it broke new ground, reaching and surpassing the price of $100,000 per 1 BTC for the first time.

But it's a very interesting moment for crypto investors right now. President Donald Trump was inaugurated for the second time in January, bringing with him the most crypto-friendly administration the U.S. has ever seen. He preluded that with the launch of a new $TRUMP meme coin, likely making millions in the process. Macroeconomic indicators are all over the place, and the global geopolitical situation hasn't been this messy since the Cold War era.

Large entities such as corporations and nation-states have been buying bitcoins en masse, but in recent months, they've been more eager to sell than buy. The U.S. government will no longer sell its stash thanks to Trump's Strategic Bitcoin Reserve initiative. To complicate things further, arcane technologies, such as quantum computing, are threatening to unravel Bitcoin's very foundation — though no one's sure when that may happen or if it will happen at all.

All of that leaves Bitcoin in a precarious place. Ask 10 experts where its price may go, and you'll get 10 vastly different answers, likely ranging from zero to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The thing to do, then, is to calmly and carefully consider the most critical factors that influence Bitcoin before making any investment decisions.

Disclaimer: We're not here to provide an investment thesis or investment advice. This is an overview of Bitcoin's progress and some of the major risks and tailwinds that may define its future.

We've consulted cryptocurrency experts on the matter. At Mashable, we've covered Bitcoin since at least 2017, and we've seen some massive crashes, impressive price rises, community splits, and technology changes and challenges. Now that Bitcoin is seemingly on a downward trajectory, at roughly $82,000 per coin, it's time to do a thorough check-up on the orange coin once again.

Bitcoin's biggest milestone: Hitting $100,000

How did this happen? Bitcoin started out as an experiment by its elusive, pseudonymous founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, who unleashed it onto the world and disappeared shortly after. It was first embraced by a few enthusiasts, such as Hal Finney, whose interests were at a cross-section of cryptography and finance.

For Bitcoin to succeed and become secure, bitcoins must become vastly more expensive. - Hal Finney

For years, Bitcoin was almost a joke, with proponents seemingly waiting forever for it to become the peer-to-peer digital cash that Nakamoto envisioned. But the price kept rising, and though Bitcoin was never widely adopted as a means of payment, it became something else: a decentralized version of digital gold that feeds on computing power to keep its transactional network secure.

It took a few years for people to start paying attention: In May 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz famously spent 10,000 BTC on two pizzas; had he kept the bitcoins, they would be worth billions now. Hanyecz is annually reminded of this on May 22, when bitcoiners celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day.

By 2024, Bitcoin had essentially become widely legitimized as something that has value and should be taken very seriously. A key development in this was the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs. ETFs, or exchange traded funds, are investment funds that hold a certain asset or security, allowing anyone to get exposure to that asset (in this case Bitcoin) without having to deal with the intricacies of having a cryptocurrency wallet.

These funds, which require BTC to actually be bought and held in custody for its clients, were huge, prompting heavyweights such as BlackRock and Fidelity to finally throw their marketing machines and financial heft behind Bitcoin. The ETFs were a stellar success, with billions pouring in on a weekly basis. As of now, spot Bitcoin ETFs hold a total of 1.13 million BTC, worth roughly $100 billion.

Add that to Michael Saylor's Microstrategy, a company with a somewhat inert software business that started buying bitcoins en masse in 2020 and now holds roughly 499,000 BTC worth $41 billion, and you not only have a race to earn more bitcoins but a real fear amongst cryptocurrency titans of being left behind with zero bitcoins while everyone else has some.

That, in very rough sketches, is how Bitcoin got from zero to $100,000 per Bitcoin in less than two decades, making it one of the most successful financial products of all time.

Where does Bitcoin stand now?

In January, it all seemed hunky dory for cryptocurrencies. Trump got inaugurated, and Bitcoin was breaking new highs at above $108,000 on Jan. 20. Then, the newly elected president started talking tariffs, U.S. stock indexes turned red, and crypto followed. Right now, BTC is trading at about $82,000 per coin.

And that was despite the unprecedented amount of good news for Bitcoin and crypto in general, including the formation of a Crypto Task Force and Trump's announcement of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in early March, which forbade the U.S. government to sell bitcoins it already owns while opening some avenues to acquire more.

This does not necessarily mean the bull market is over. Bitcoin has historically had large price corrections (yes, bigger than 30%) even during bull runs.

Is Bitcoin a legitimate investment?

The likelihood of any investment being "fraudulent" to some degree or at least risky is never zero. Companies you hold stock in can conceal losses with accounting schemes. Banks can debank you because of identity theft. Even if you invest in something as solid as real estate or commodities, things can go wrong. Ships sink. Trains get derailed. Tornadoes happen. Even if there's no fraud or catastrophic incident in your cards, sometimes prices just tank because of unforeseen events.

Bitcoin is no different: Things could go wrong, and they sometimes do.

That said, Bitcoin is as legit as it can be these days. It's been bought by the billions by the largest of U.S. investment companies. Some nation-states, such as El Salvador, have even opted in. Companies such as Microstrategy are piling up Bitcoin instead of cash, and it's no longer just for nerds with powerful computers — it hasn't been for a long time. Plus, the creation of the U.S. Bitcoin Reserve further solidified Bitcoin as a legitimate asset.

CCData Research Lead, Joshua de Vos, says Bitcoin passing the "psychological" $100,000 mark was an incredibly important milestone. "This price movement is closely tied to growing optimism surrounding the incoming administration and expectations of greater regulatory clarity and state-backed support for Bitcoin," he told Mashable in a statement.

"This initiative could position Bitcoin as a national asset, further legitimizing its role as a store of value and helping to further diversify government holdings."

Yes, a catastrophic error could still be found in Bitcoin's software, but the odds of that, given that Bitcoin has been running for 16 years and counting with well over a trillion dollars on the line, are extremely small. Quantum computers may one day be able to crack Bitcoin's encryption, but if you trust Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, decades will pass before "very useful" quantum computers arrive.

President of OKX exchange Hong Fang is optimistic about Bitcoin's longterm prospects, though he also warns of possible "black swan" events that could influence Bitcoin's price. In particular, he worries about the risks of too much Bitcoin being held by individual entities, which is a byproduct of the increasing institutional adoption of Bitcoin. “Where there is concentration, there are risks,” says de Vos.

As it gains legitimacy, Bitcoin is getting less volatile, but the price of 1 BTC can still gain or lose double digits in a day. Gold as an investment has been around for thousands of years; Bitcoin hasn't even turned 20.

Bitcoin in 2025: Macro worries and hopes

This is where it gets tricky. Bitcoin is no longer a countertrade against the entire financial system, it is now a part of that system, and it's owned by the billions by entities who follow traditional investing rules such as going risk off when U.S. bond yields surge. Bitcoin may be called digital gold, but it still often behaves like a risk asset (such as company stock).

Hence, Bitcoin is and will be affected, perhaps increasingly so, by big movements in traditional markets, which in turn are affected by macroeconomic trends. A strong U.S. dollar, for example, might push prices of stocks and Bitcoin down.

The vast majority of us, however, aren't macro experts. Observing larger trends and keeping tabs on what may be lurking behind the horizon is all right, but few can really predict whether the U.S. dollar or bond yields will go up or down in a year's time, including us. Instead, check out the work done by research firm Dalbar, which proves year after year that most investors underperform a simple index fund.

In other words, trying to predict Bitcoin's price based on tracking macroeconomic trends is probably futile.

How are meme coins impacting Bitcoin?

Coins come and go. Granted, $TRUMP was a big one, rising to a fully diluted valuation of about $83 billion within hours and sucking out liquidity from the entire crypto market in the process. But if you zoom out, Bitcoin barely blinked.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

There will be other meme coins, and we'll probably see many other high-profile people, as well as organizations and perhaps even nation-states, following up. It can affect Bitcoin's price short-term, but we've seen such shenanigans before, and Bitcoin came through just fine.

In a recent statement, the U.S. SEC said that meme coins aren't securities.

"Meme coins typically are purchased for entertainment, social interaction, and cultural purposes, and their value is driven primarily by market demand and speculation," the regulator said in a statement. "In this regard, meme coins are akin to collectibles. Meme coins also typically have limited or no functionality.

"Given the speculative nature of meme coins, they tend to experience significant market price volatility and often are accompanied by statements regarding their risks and lack of utility, other than for entertainment or other nonfunctional purposes," the regulator said.

Alts, or altcoins (typically defined as all cryptocurrencies that aren't Bitcoin) generally do trade in lockstep with Bitcoin. But Bitcoin has its own thing going on and is getting more impervious to movements in the crypto markets. This is partially because a big chunk of its supply is now owned by ETFs and large investors, who don't sway as easy as the newbie who bought yesterday but is now thinking about dumping it all in favor of an alt.

However, if Bitcoin is doing well, alts typically do well, too. As former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao recently put it, "What's good for bitcoin is good for alts."

Where do crypto legends think the price of Bitcoin will go?

Bitcoin is still a teenager, but it feels like it's been around for an eternity, mostly because something new happens to it or around it every day.

With continued adoption amplified by macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, short-term sentiments, and market speculations, I expect Bitcoin's price to stay volatile with a general upward trend in the next 12 months, going as low as $70k or as high as $150k. But over the next 3-4 years, I see a good chance to realize a $400-$500k price range for the ‘digital gold.’ - Hong Fang, OKX president, in a statement to Mashable

There are people who were there from the very beginning — technologists who dabbled with the technical side, enthusiasts who just liked the idea, as well as investors who recognized the potential early. What do they say about Bitcoin's prospects going forward?

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Legendary crypto investor and podcaster Cobie often comments with tongue-in-cheek remarks. But he seems to be very bullish on Bitcoin, as he expects it to continue making new all-time highs in rapid succession at some point in the near future.

Another legendary investor who tweets very sparingly these days, pseudonymous crypto trader GCR (short for GiganticRebirth), still thinks Bitcoin will ultimately have a larger market cap than gold (that's currently estimated at around $18.3 trillion, while BTC's market cap is a little over $2 trillion).

I don't believe bitcoin tops until it flips gold, and will likely be long bitcoin for the rest of my life. - GiganticRebirth

He does, however, warn that the time to get really greedy has passed and that investors should be more careful as we approach bull market peak.

From the other side of the stadium comes Peter Schiff, who's vocal about his disdain for Bitcoin. According to him, a strategic Bitcoin reserve would lead to "higher inflation and a weaker economy" in the U.S.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Like many high-profile executives of the traditional finance world, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink took his time warming up to Bitcoin. These days, however, he thinks it's an "alternative" to gold.

Galaxy CEO Mike Novogratz was an early investor in Bitcoin. He claims that Bitcoin reaching the price of $100,000 per coin is a "milestone that represents more than price."

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

"It’s proof of adoption, belief, and a community that has carried this revolution from 0 to 100. With world leaders leaning in and a generational wealth shift underway, this is just the beginning," he tweeted.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Finally, if you want to get poetic, perhaps it's best to quote one of the most fanatical proponents of Bitcoin, Michael Saylor. As he puts it, "#Bitcoin is a swarm of cyber hornets serving the goddess of wisdom, feeding on the fire of truth, exponentially growing ever smarter, faster, and stronger behind a wall of encrypted energy."
