Beauty in Black reversal at Netflix
According to a TVLine report dated July 23, 2026, Netflix has reversed an earlier cancellation decision and renewed Tyler Perry's drama "Beauty in Black" for a fourth season, after previously announcing the series would end with its upcoming third season. In a statement provided to TVLine, Perry said the Bellarie family's "story is far from finished" and credited viewers for sharing the show "from day one." Cast member Taylor Polidore Williams, who had previously questioned the cancellation, told TVLine that all of Season 3 was filmed in just six days and that the cast did not understand the original decision, suggesting Netflix's split-season episode counts may have factored into the call. The released Season 3 synopsis describes Kimmie being forced into an uneasy alliance with Mallory amid blackmail and family warfare as the Bellarie empire comes under threat.
The Morning Show sets a 2027 finale
Apple confirmed on July 23, 2026 that "The Morning Show" will return for a fifth and final season in 2027, with the series currently in production. The drama, one of the first originals launched alongside Apple TV in 2019, has charted a roughly two-year gap between recent seasons, pointing toward a fall 2027 premiere within the established release pattern. Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, who also serve as executive producers, framed the conclusion as a deliberate creative choice rather than a cancellation, with Aniston saying the team crafted the ending "with intentionality" to honor the characters. The returning cast includes Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Nicole Beharie, and Jon Hamm, with Jeff Daniels, Jesse Williams, Reneé Rapp, Sean Hayes, and Lizzy Caplan joining the final season. The series is produced by Media Res alongside Aniston's Echo Films and Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine, with Charlotte Stoudt as showrunner and Mimi Leder directing.
Percy Jackson sets a November return on Disney+
At its San Diego Comic-Con Hall H panel on July 23, 2026, Disney+'s "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" announced a November 20, 2026 premiere for Season 3 and unveiled first footage. The clip showed Thalia confronting a monster in a parking garage before Percy and Annabeth arrive, setting up the storyline drawn from Rick Riordan's "The Titan's Curse," in which the heroes rescue Bianca and Nico di Angelo, children of Hades, from a military boarding school. Walker Scobell, Tamera Smart, and new series regulars Olive Abercrombie and Levi Chrisopulos appeared on stage; Leah Sava Jeffries appeared via video message because she is filming the next-generation "Cheetah Girls" movie. Executive producers Craig Silverstein and Dan Shotz described a darker, more mature season with expanded material for Annabeth beyond the source novel, while declining to confirm Walker Scobell's earlier characterization of the season as the most book-accurate yet.
