Samsung Frame Pro and OLED TV News: What You Need To Know in 2026
Samsung has pulled the wrapping off some of its most anticipated TVs for 2026, including its latest art-forward TVs, The Frame and The Frame Pro, and its premium OLED TVs, which include three series available in sizes from 42 inches up to a massive 83 inches. Here’s the lowdown on Samsung’s latest TV releases for 2026, including what I am excited about from the brand this year. Proper Framing Samsung’s Frame TVs, which use a matte screen to display art when you’re not watching your favorite shows and movies, will be offered in new sizes for 2026, and include an upgrade to its glare-resistant screen technology. The new Frame Pro leads things off as Samsung’s top-performing option in the series. The TV continues to be “the only Art TV with wireless transmission,” letting you send audio and video wirelessly from a Blu-ray player or gaming console from up to 30 feet away when connected to its wireless box. Samsung claims its glare-reduction tech has once again improved this year, which further refines the TV’s ability …
‘The Pitt’’s Luke Tennie is the Newest—and Chillest—Doc on the Night Shift
This story contains minor spoilers for this week’s episode of The Pitt. Luke Tennie is everywhere right now. On Apple TV, he’s wrapping up the third season of Shrinking as Sean, a former soldier (and current food-truck chef) navigating tenuous relationships with his father and ex-girlfriend. On ABC, he’s finishing up his first year at Abbott Elementary as Dominic, a new fourth-grade teacher learning the ropes from Janine (Quinta Brunson). And on HBO this week, Tennie is scrubbing into The Pitt as senior resident Crus Henderson, a night shift doctor navigating a worn-down ER. As someone recently commented on his Instagram, Tennie’s career has turned into “an awards-season bingo card.” “I could not be happier driving past the Warner Brothers lot, seeing three posters of three iconic television shows, and considering the fact that I’m a part of each of these,” Tennie said on a recent Zoom call. “I’m eternally grateful. I don’t know where my career can go from here. I feel like I’m tapped out.” At least on The Pitt, there’s no time …
7 (Actually Good) Things to Watch on Netflix in April
The first season of Beef saw a roadside spat between Steven Yeun and Ali Wong spiral into an exceptionally violent, bloody feud, road rage taken to its most brilliantly absurd extreme. With the series taking a White Lotus-style turn to anthology mode, season two is set to tell an entirely different story of human aggression. Oscar Isaac stars as the mercurial owner of an exclusive country club whose violent outburst towards his wife, played by Carey Mulligan, is captured on camera by a Gen Z subordinate (Charles Melton) and his girlfriend (Cailee Spaeny). It looks to have made for an exciting tonal twist, seemingly darker than its predecessor—but that’s only appropriate for a series with ragemaxxing at its core. Ronaldinho: The One and Only April 16 The charge often goes that modern soccer has become an overly mechanical beast. It’s all about the well-oiled machine of the collective, with little room left for the dazzling wizardry brought to the table by the stars of yesteryear; the nutmegs, the rainbow flicks, the 35-yard curlers with the …
Taylor Sheridan Should Build New Shows Around These Acting Legends
No one attracts more legendary movie stars these days than Taylor Sheridan. In the eight years since he launched Yellowstone and a subsequent TV empire, the prolific creator has built shows around Kevin Costner, Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, Sylvester Stallone, Billy Bob Thornton, Nicole Kidman, Demi Moore, and now Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell, with Samuel L. Jackson, Ed Harris, and Annette Bening set to soon join his ever-expanding universe soon. But who should be next? Once Yellowstone became a pop-cultural phenomenon, Sheridan seemed to have icons flocking to his ranch, many of them making their first-ever foray into ongoing-series television, all wanting what he’d given Costner. Perhaps it’s the former journeyman actor in Sheridan that helps him understand how to appeal to performers, by giving them the type of material actors long for but aren’t always offered. “There’s so much depth to the way he writes his characters,” Landman star Paulina Chávez recently told me. “Each of these characters has a very deep backstory — and they’re all messy. And I think that’s what makes …

‘Summer House’ Drama Has United Our Fractious Nation
This is an edition of the newsletter Pulling Weeds With Chris Black, in which the columnist weighs in on hot topics in culture. Sign up here to get it in your inbox every Thursday. The death of monoculture has been widely examined by people much smarter and better spoken than I am, but it is a stance I agree with. The splintering of culture via algorithm has created micro-niches that birth memes, slang, and whole approaches to life that baffle and astound someone not on the same digital wavelength. It’s depressing and fascinating. The days of everyone gathering around the TV set to watch the Friends finale on linear cable are long gone. Beyond tragedies, the only thing left that breaks through and sparks a powerful, polarizing discourse is relationship drama on Bravo reality shows. And it looks like Andy has done it again. The first example of Bravo uniting a fractured body politic was only a few years ago; even if you are a casual viewer or internet user, you probably know the phrase …
Before the Summer House Scandal Took Over Your Feed, Lindsay Hubbard Was Spotted Getting “Activated” Downtown
It was just another day of lunch service at the Odeon, the Tribeca restaurant recently depicted on FX’s Love Story, when word of a reality TV scandal began to spread. In the bustling dining room, Lindsay Hubbard, a former publicist and original cast member on Bravo’s Summer House, was sipping wine with a couple of other women, getting up from their table to take a few frantic phone calls. In recent weeks, whispers that two of her costars were secretly dating had been floating throughout New York City and when she rejoined her table, Hubbard appeared to have received some form of confirmation. “Ciara just said…” she urgently told her tablemates, dissolving into a hushed, but excited tone, according to a fellow diner and source close to Vanity Fair. (Hubbard’s reps declined to comment to VF.) Just 24 hours later, the rest of the world learned what Ciara Miller may have told her “activated” costar over day drinks: Miller’s ex-boyfriend West Wilson had been covertly dating her best friend Amanda Batula, all of whom share …
The White Lotus Season 4 Cast Has Checked In. Here’s Everything We Know
Filming is well underway on the fourth season of Mike White’s anthology series The White Lotus, centered around wealthy vacationers and their debaucherous misadventures at the titular resort. This edition is jetsetting over to the south of France, with production taking place at the Château de la Messardière, a fortress of a luxury hotel in Saint-Tropez. Of course, it’s never a chill vacay at The White Lotus—and though details are scarce on what exactly this season will be about—this trip to the Côte d’Azur will be no exception. Expect an exasperated manager, demanding guests, and at least one dead body to surface. “Season 4 is a little bit about fame,” White also told Entertainment Tonight. “There are some people who are satisfied with the love of one intimate partner or a family, and then there’s some people who need the love of strangers.” And ever since season one had its cast spending lockdown in Hawaii, a White Lotus role has become one of the most sought-after acting gigs available. Who wouldn’t want to spend months …
Euphoria’s Nate Jacobs Has a Bottega Veneta Contract Too, Apparently
Jacob Elordi’s Bottega Veneta contract may well be one of the sturdiest documents in show business. But can it withstand the stench of Euphoria’s Nate Jacobs? Since signing on as a brand ambassador for the Italian luxury label in 2024, the Australian actor has made a show (and, surely, an untold quantity of lucrative “brand impressions”) of conspicuously toting around its woven leather bags—at the airport, on coffee runs, during his Italian vacations—and wearing its suits on red carpets, even in the rain. Now the actor’s deal appears to have spilled over into his swan song as antagonist Nate Jacobs on the HBO hit, whose years-in-the-making third and seemingly final season will debut on April 12. In a new Euphoria trailer that dropped yesterday, Elordi’s character can be seen weathering the hero piece of Bottega Veneta’s spring 2023 show: a trompe l’oeil leather button-up shirt made to look like plaid flannel cloth. (The shirt, which retailed for $6,800, went viral after model Kate Moss wore it with similarly leather-constructed blue jeans on the runway three …
The ‘Neighbors’ Finale Was a Wild Nude Journey Through the Fractured American Brain
The moment is so uncomfortable, such an apparent misinterpretation of signals, that I watched with the sheets pulled halfway over my face like a child watching a horror film. Shockingly, Amanda continues to respond positively, and even provides her phone number. Smiechowski returns to his rented bungalow with his head in the clouds. In another perfect distillation—this time of the Boomer psyche and its inability to present a coherent self via text—Smiechowski’s opener to Amanda includes neither context nor names nor opening banter, but merely “Hello”. Amanda responds, naturally, “who is this?” In another surprise twist, the relationship doesn’t end there. She agrees to a date. A vignette gives us some more background on Amanda. She turns out to be a civil engineering student at the University of South Florida (undergraduate or graduate, it isn’t really clear; she appears to be over 30), but what she’s really looking for is a prospective sugar daddy. “I’m hoping that Danny can sponsor my music career,” she narrates, before going into a complex hypothetical about what her schedule …
