The Best of Entertainment: Must-Watch Shows and Movies in 2025

Movies in 2025. Yeah, that’s the big topic. And trust me, it’s gonna be a wild ride. Blockbusters, sequels, reboots, original creations—this year’s entertainment lineup has everything. If you’ve been living under a rock or simply hibernating through 2024, you might have missed some major rumblings in the entertainment world. But don’t worry, I gotchu. We’re diving headfirst into what’s worth watching, and spoiler alert: it’s gonna be a good one.

Blockbuster Movies to Watch in 2025

So, let’s talk movies. Grab your popcorn and buckle up—2025 is about to deliver films that’ll leave you talking, debating, and maybe even crying in your living rooms.

1. Avatar 4

Let’s start big, shall we? Avatar 4. James Cameron is back. Again. And if you thought Pandora’s lush jungles and epic sea creatures couldn’t get any more mind-blowing, think again. We’re heading deeper into the planet’s strange ecosystem, and we’re about to meet new clans, creatures, and—of course—some wickedly beautiful CGI. Now, I gotta be honest here. Avatar isn’t everyone’s cup of tea (I still can’t get over how many people walk out during the credits of the first movie). But for those of us who can’t resist the visual feast, Avatar 4 is set to take it even further. With Pandora’s story expanding, I’m all in. More blue people, more drama, and more weird floating mountains? Yes, please.

2. Star Wars: A New Dawn

Star Wars. The galaxy far, far away. Star Wars: A New Dawn is the next chapter after The Rise of Skywalker, and—hold onto your lightsabers—this one promises to be fresh, exciting, and filled with new faces. The whole “Empire fell, now what?” angle is on the table, and we’re gonna meet a whole new generation of heroes and villains trying to pick up the pieces. Not gonna lie: the mere thought of new Jedi on screen gives me chills. What if we finally get to see a true hero’s journey again, minus the whole Rey Skywalker drama? Could be a game-changer.

3. Jurassic World: Dominion – Extinction

Ah, Jurassic World. A franchise that’s been keeping us all on the edge of our seats since the first T-Rex roar echoed in theaters. In Dominion – Extinction, we’re still figuring out what it means to live side-by-side with genetically engineered dinosaurs. Humanity’s inability to control the creatures we’ve created? No surprise. But, wait—are we getting new dinosaur species? Is there a mega dinosaur? Will there be a chase scene with velociraptors while Chris Pratt is on a motorcycle? My guess? Yes to all of the above. This movie’s gonna make us clutch our seats. The stakes are high. As are the teeth.

4. Fantastic Four

Marvel, please don’t mess this one up. The Fantastic Four are finally joining the MCU in 2025. After multiple failed attempts to bring these iconic characters to life (I’m looking at you, early 2000s movies), the MCU is stepping in to make it right. Expect a superhero team-up of cosmic proportions: Mr. Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Human Torch, and The Thing. These characters are older than most of us, but they’re finally coming to the silver screen with a fresh spin. I mean, they’ve got Marvel behind them now. And if we’ve learned anything from Kevin Feige, it’s that he doesn’t mess around. Let’s see if they can finally do justice to this powerhouse team.

TV Shows to Binge-Watch in 2025

I’ll admit, I’ve been spending more time glued to my Netflix queue than my actual social life lately. But hey, can you blame me? The TV scene is looking insane in 2025. Get ready for a few wild rides.

1. The Last of Us: Season 2

Okay, I’m obsessed with The Last of Us. The first season? Chef’s kiss. The chemistry between Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey? Top-tier. The apocalypse? Honestly, a mood. Now that Season 2 is coming in 2025, things are about to get even darker. Expect the plot to go into some serious emotional territory—because if you’ve played the game, you know this ride isn’t for the faint of heart. Joel and Ellie are back, and trust me, the journey’s about to get even more gut-wrenching. But, like, in the best way possible. Oh, and did I mention the zombies are still terrifying? Yeah, no escape there.

2. House of the Dragon: Season 2

House of the Dragon? Oh, y’all know I’m tuning in. After the chaos that was Game of Thrones, I was ready to hang up my Westeros fandom for good. But then House of the Dragon came along, and I remembered why I fell in love with the world of dragons and political scheming. Season 2 of this prequel is set to dive deeper into the Targaryen civil war. If you like your drama served hot and your characters not afraid to stab each other in the back (literally), this one’s for you. I’m just here for the dragons, honestly.

3. Stranger Things: Season 6

Stranger Things might be reaching its final stretch, but trust me, this show’s not slowing down. While Season 5 is expected to wrap up the main storyline, there are whispers that Season 6 could still expand on the mind-bending mysteries of the Upside Down. I’m betting on more horror, more ’80s references, and a plot that will make me question all of reality. And y’all know I’m just waiting for the “I told you so” moment when all my wild theories about Eleven’s origin turn out to be true. Anyway, here’s the kicker: I’m not emotionally ready for whatever’s coming.

4. The Wheel of Time: Season 2

The Wheel of Time series has been one of Amazon’s hidden gems, quietly gaining a loyal fanbase with its complex plot and dynamic characters. Season 2 is arriving in 2025, and I can’t wait to see what happens next. The world-building? Immaculate. The magic system? Still a mystery. The constant political intrigues? I’m hooked. This series could be your next Game of Thrones if it sticks the landing. Here’s hoping we see more dragons… I mean, Aes Sedai. Yeah, that’s the vibe.

Must-See Documentaries in 2025

Let’s get real for a minute. You know you’re avoiding actual life by binge-watching some Netflix documentaries—and 2025’s lineup is gonna make that avoidance so worth it.

1. The Rise of AI

Artificial intelligence. It’s everywhere. And we still don’t fully understand how it works. The Rise of AI will dive deep into the tech that’s slowly taking over everything from our emails to our cars. You ever seen that one AI-generated art that freaked you out? Yeah, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. This doc is gonna answer questions (or maybe raise more?) about what happens when machines start thinking for themselves. They might not take over yet, but I’m betting a few of you reading this are worried about getting replaced by a robot at work.

2. Earth: Our Last Hope?

The climate crisis is real. And with everything going on in the world, Earth: Our Last Hope? is more important than ever. It’s like that time your mom warned you about global warming while you ignored her—except now, it’s really happening. This documentary takes a hard look at the planet’s most vulnerable ecosystems and how close we are to irreversible damage. It’s sobering. But maybe, just maybe, this could be the wake-up call we need to save the world—before it’s too late.

Wrapping Up (But Not Really)

Alright, there you have it. 2025? It’s gonna be a wild year. From heart-pounding blockbusters to thought-provoking documentaries and unforgettable TV shows, there’s no shortage of entertainment to keep you busy. And I mean, who needs sleep when you’ve got an entire year of binge-worthy content to look forward to, right? Grab your remote, your favorite snack, and get comfy—because 2025’s entertainment lineup will have you glued to the screen like never before.
