Are you ready to feel the power this week?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a Prime Video<\/a> subscriber, you will, thanks to the debut of the big-budget 2026 action fantasy Masters of the Universe<\/em>, which features Nicholas Galitzine<\/strong><\/a> in a skirt fighting the forces of darkness. No, I\u2019m not joking.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of bingeworthy TV shows for you to check out this week as well.<\/p>\n

BritBox launches its latest crime mystery, Gone<\/em>, while Netflix<\/a> brings back one of last year\u2019s pleasant surprises, Ransom Canyon<\/em><\/a>, for a second season of love and melodrama down south.<\/p>\n

Finally, if you just can\u2019t get enough of The Big Bang Theory<\/em>, even after it\u2019s been off the air for seven years, beam yourself up to watch Stuart Fails to Save the Universe<\/em><\/a>, HBO Max\u2019s new sci-fi-flavored spinoff show.\n<\/p>\n

Dust off those old toys and get ready for the return of one of the \u201880s most popt popular characters. He-Man (Nicholas Galitzine<\/strong>) is back, and this time, he\u2019s facing an enemy more scary than the evil Skeletor (Jared Leto<\/strong><\/a>) \u2013 human resources. Prince Adam has been in hiding for 15 years working as an HR rep on Earth, but when his old friend Teela (Camila Mendes<\/strong><\/a>) returns to tell him Eternia needs his help, he decides to resume what he\u2019s best at \u2013 wearing a skirt and leather harness, wielding a giant sword and fighting bad guys.<\/p>\n

Masters of the Universe<\/em> knows it\u2019s absurd, which is what makes it so fun to watch. Galitzine is a proud himbo warrior \u2013 even he can\u2019t believe he\u2019s so golden and buff. Director Travis Knigh<\/strong>t retains the original cartoon\u2019s whimsy while adding just enough post-modern snark to make it all go down easy.<\/p>\n

If you miss Yellowstone<\/em> and crave a little romance, saddle up with Ransom Canyon<\/em>. The Netflix show, starring Josh Duhamel<\/strong><\/a> as widowed rancher Staten Kirkland, who returns to his hometown to start a new life, was a surprise hit in 2025, and unlike most Netflix shows, it\u2019s back for a second season only a year after its debut.<\/p>\n

Season 2 starts six months after last season\u2019s finale, which saw Quinn (Minka Kelly<\/strong><\/a>) move to New York City to pursue her music dreams. She\u2019s back, of course, and she brought someone with her \u2013 a new beau, Oliver (Beau Robson<\/strong>), who has asked for her hand in marriage. If you think that\u2019s going to stop Staten from winning her back, well, you haven\u2019t been watching Ransom Canyon<\/em>. Oscar nominee Patricia Clarkson<\/strong> joins the cast as Quinn\u2019s mother, Claire, who has some secrets of her own.<\/p>\n

When music teacher Alana Polly (Emma Appleton<\/strong>) vanishes, everyone is clueless as to where she could have gone \u2013 especially her worried husband, Michael Polly (David Morrissey<\/strong>). Because her car keys and mobile phone were left at home, it looks like Alana was kidnapped \u2013 or worse. Detective Annie Cassidy (Eve Myles<\/strong>) is brought in to investigate Alana\u2019s disappearance, and the more she spends time with Michael, the more she\u2019s convinced he had something to do with it. Annie\u2019s a pretty good judge of character, but she\u2019ll need solid evidence to back up her intuitions.<\/p>\n
