Netflix Introduces Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Interactive Shows

Back in the day, we all loved choose-your-own-adventure books. These stories allowed you to pick from multiple circumstances and outcomes along the way, and were definitely popular among young readers (and they still are, with those who like adult reads that are similar to kid-lit). That’s why we were so thrilled by non-linear movies and why we’re freaking out over the fact that you can enjoy the same drama-navigating fun with Netflix’s new interactive shows.

Puss in Boots

Rolling out the feature on July 14, Netflix is starting with two kids’ shows, Puss in Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale and Buddy Thunderstruck: The Maybe Pile. “The children’s programming space was a natural place for us to start since kids are eager to ‘play’ with their favorite characters and already inclined to tap, touch and swipe at screens,” Netflix said in a press release, according to Mashable.

“They also talk to their screens, as though the characters can hear them. Now, that conversation can be two-way. It’s really about finding the right stories — and storytellers — that can tell these complex narratives and bring them to life in a compelling way.”

What is it about “tacos” that you don’t understand?

While we’ll totally admit that we’re also apt to talk to the characters on screen every once in a while (have you NOT screamed, “Oh, girl, no!” at various drama-filled series?!), for now it’ll be the kiddos who get to guide their fave fictional friends through adventures whenever an option pops up that offers two different possibilities. Merely tapping the screen or using a remote allows your little one (or you) to pick the path they want to take. So very cool!

We can’t wait until Netflix tries this out on a Pretty Little Liars-esque series. Or maybe Riverdale or Stranger Things. We can think of so many possibilities!

Push comes to shove for those of us without cable on the biggest Sunday nights of the year. It can be tough to figure out how to tune into the Emmys, the Oscars, and on February 9, the Super Bowl. This year's game sees the Kansas City Chiefs play against the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans' Caesars Superdome, and the good news is that even if you don't have cable, you can still tune in! Here's how.

Where can I stream the Super Bowl for free?

The 2025 Super Bowl will be streaming on Tubi. The game on Sunday, February 9 begins at 6:30 PM EST, and all you have to do is create an account with Tubi, and you'll be able to watch the pre-coverage, the whole game, and the post-game coverage no sweat.

And the best part is that when you stream the Super Bowl for free on Tubi, you'll still be able to watch the Super Bowl commercials premiering on network TV!

What streaming service has the Super Bowl?

Super Bowl 59 will be streaming on Tubi, which is Fox's free streaming service, instead of the Fox Sports app. That means anyone can log in and watch the game on their device.

Who is going to be the Super Bowl halftime show in 2025?

Kendrick Lamar, who just won five Grammys for his diss track "Not Like Us," will be performing at the Super Bowl halftime show. It's already been confirmed that SZA will make a guest appearance during the performance, but fans are also hoping we could see Taylor Swift show up on the field to sing "Bad Blood" alongside the rapper.

Who's going to be at the Super Bowl?

Speaking of Tay, in addition to football players like Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Jalen Hurts, and Saquon Barkley, there's a very good chance she'll be in attendance as well. Last year, Taylor brought celebrity friends like Blake Lively, and this year, rumor has it we could see Blake, Selena Gomez, Benny Blanco, Sabrina Carpenter, and Ice Spice in the box. Now that's one Super Bowl party I'd love to be a part of.

What time does the Super Bowl halftime show start?

Ezra Shaw/Getty Images

Considering how long the first two quarters of a game usually are, it's safe to assume Kendrick Lamar will take the stage around 8:15 PM EST. But if you're not already watching the Super Bowl, keep an eye on X and other social media platforms in case he starts earlier!

What happened to Van in 'Yellowjackets'?

Showtime

In Yellowjackets season 3, episode 9, the living adult women cross paths with adult Melissa after thinking she was dead for years.

When the group finds out that Melissa faked her own suicide, came up with a new identity, and married the daughter of a woman they killed in the wilderness, needless to say they feel pretty suspicious of Melissa's motives. Things get especially dicey when everyone learns that Melissa sent Shauna a tape recording of one of their notorious wilderness feasts — some of the only actual evidence of their more heinous acts during their time stranded in the woods.

While Melissa's tied up (in her own home, I might add), she turns on the fireplace and keeps the flu closed. Tai and Shauna get CO2 poisoning while Van is outside, leaving Van to save them as quickly as possible. After rescuing her friends, Van unties Melissa to confront her, but can't bring herself to kill Melissa.

Much to everyone's surprise, Melissa doesn't take this mercy with kindness. She turns the knife on Van, stabbing and killing her. Much like Van's literal bleeding heart, I was broken after that.

Showtime

According to IMDB, Yellowjackets is filmed in British Columbia, Canada and Los Angeles.

Is 'Yellowjackets' based on a true story?

The best things around the holidays are comforting and familiar. To be surrounded by friends, family, tradition, and delicious Thanksgiving appetizers is just amazing! So, in the spirit of all things warm and cozy, we rounded up 6 of the best Thanksgiving TV episodes from our favorite shows. Whether you’re into old-school Full House shenanigans or the mishaps of Modern Family, these are the six comfort shows that will make you laugh through all throughout Thanksgiving weekend.

Hulu

1. Full House Season 1, Episode 9 "The Miracle of Thanksgiving"

Watch on Hulu: We look back at season one of Full House with fond memories — mostly for this iconic episode wherein Joey constantly announces the arrival of the miracle *cue trumpet sound* of Thanksgiving. It’s not about how good the dinner turns out, it’s the fact that you even tried to roast a turkey.

IMDB

2. Boy Meets World Season 4, Episode 10 "Turkey Day"

Watch on Disney+: After learning about tribal prejudice in Africa, Cory and Shawn decide to combine family celebrations of Thanksgiving. The result is a touching but, of course, funny take on how different families celebrate in different ways. Reaching across the table is the new reaching across the aisle!

IMDB

3. Friends Season 5, Episode 8 "The One With All the Thanksgivings"

Watch on Max: You didn’t think we’d make it through this list without mentioning this iconic Thanksgiving TV episode, did you? It’s the one where the gang relives their terrible Thanksgivings of the past and Monica somehow winds up with a turkey on her head. Classic.

IMDB

4. How I Met Your Mother Season 3, Episode 9 "Slapsgiving"

Watch on Hulu: Every year, Thanksgiving is a great opportunity to honor traditions. Our favorite tradition? Slapsgiving from HIMYM. The episode that started it all — and forever struck fear into Barney’s heart — is our favorite Thanksgiving episode from the nine-season run!

IMDB

5. Modern Family Season 6, Episode 8 "Three Turkeys"

Watch on Hulu: It’s always nice when people pitch in and offer to help, but it can be impossible to know whether or not they’ll follow through. This hysterical holiday episode of Modern Family sees the clan end up *somehow* with three turkeys at the Thanksgiving table. At least there’s plenty of leftovers…

IMDB

6. Gilmore Girls Season 3, Episode 9 "A Deep-Fried Korean Thanksgiving"

Watch on Netflix: If you’re overbooked this Thanksgiving, just consider Lorelai and Rory, who celebrated four Thanksgivings in one day. Of course things go wrong, as they do with everybody’s Thanksgiving. It’s probably one of the most relatable episodes around holiday time.

There are plenty of things that make summer special, from the smell of salty ocean air to the touch of warm breezes and the gorgeous backdrops that golden sunsets paint on the sky each evening.

But aside from giving us beautiful weather and loads of opportunities to reconnect with loved ones, the summer also represents a wonderful time to welcome a little one. So, if you're expecting a baby next season, why not choose a name that captures the essence of summer?

Here are our top summer baby names that are as radiant and joyful as the time of year itself.

Scroll to see our favorite summer baby names for 2025!

1. Lucy

Hamza Razuk

Lucy is a timeless name with Latin roots that means "light" or "bringer of light." It's derived from the male name Lucius and has a gentle yet strong sound that feels vintage chic.

This name has become popular across the globe, from the United States and the UK to New Zealand and the Netherlands. It's ideal for a warm and positive little girl who brightens up any room she walks (or crawls) into.

2. August

Стас Ксензов

August is derived from the name Augustus, meaning "great" or "to increase," and carries a sense of honor. It's historically tied to the Roman emperor Augustus, giving this name long-standing associations with influence and power.

This pick is popular among parents who appreciate classic names with a modern feel. Plus, the sweet nickname option "Augie" makes it even more endearing.

3. Clementine

Polesie Toys

French in origin and derived from the Latin name "Clement," meaning "mild" or "merciful," Clementine is a soft, feminine name with a melodic sound. It embodies sweetness and charm, just like the tiny citrus fruits.

Similar to August, Clementine also offers the adorable nickname of "Clem." This moniker would be a lovely choice for a kind and gentle baby girl.

4. Sampson

Sampson is a strong and masculine name with Hebrew roots that means "sun." It's actually an alternative spelling of the biblical name Samson, who's famous for his strength, which was a gift granted by God.

But while Sampson is rooted in faith, it still carries universal appeal for parents of all backgrounds, symbolizing warmth, light, and power.

5. Soleil

Rene Terp

This beautiful French name for baby girls also means "sun," bringing feelings of joy, positivity, and warmth into your home. It even has a bit of celebrity charm, thanks to the actress Soleil Moon Frye.

Soleil is an elegant, lyrical-sounding name that's perfect for a little girl who lights up your life.

6. Kai

Sergey Makashin

This gender-neutral name has rich origins across the globe. In Hawaiian, it means "the sea," and in Māori, it translates to "food." The former represents tranquility, while the latter signifies nourishment and sustenance.

Kai is simple yet impactful, connecting to two of life's most essential elements. It can inspire any boy or girl to bring peace to the world around them.

7. Isla

Ala Ben Brahem

With Spanish origins, Isla is a serene name for girls that means "island." Additionally, it has ties to the Isla River in northeastern Scotland, a waterway that's rich in fish.

Isla has a sense of calm and flow to it, making it a meaningful choice for parents who hope their daughter will weather the changing tides of life.

8. Dylan

Polesie Toys

Last but not least is Dylan, a classic option that's gender-neutral. With Welsh roots, it holds the meaning of "great tide" or "great flow."

Dylan was traditionally used for boys, but it's become more and more popular among little girls. It's also inspired by the Welsh sea god, so a baby named Dylan will be destined to handle challenges with resilience and grace.

The best TV shows don't only entertain and inspire — they also make us reexamine the world we live in. And nobody is doing it like Black Mirror. Inspired in part by The Twilight Zone, this freaky Netflix show dives into a darker side of contemporary society, focusing on the doubts and hesitations we can all have when it comes to technology. Each episode of the gripping thriller is basically its own short movie, and the drama will have you on the edge of your seat the entire time because it's dealing with something we all use, and that familiarity makes it even spookier.

After Black Mirror season 6 (starring Annie Murphy, Myha'la Herrold, and Zazie Beetz) premiered in June of 2023, it became the most-watched streaming TV program in the US, and its popularity isn't slowing down anytime soon — especially with how stacked Netflix's Black Mirror season 7 cast is.

Here's everything you need to know about Black Mirror season 7, streaming on Netflix now.

Who's in Netflix's Black Mirror season 7 cast?

Netflix

The Black Mirror season 7 is one of its best yet. The lineup includes:

  • Awkwafina
  • Milanka Brooks
  • Peter Capaldi
  • Emma Corrin
  • Patsy Ferran
  • Paul Giamatti
  • Lewis Gribben
  • Osy Ikhile
  • Rashida Jones
  • Siena Kelly
  • Billy Magnussen
  • Rosy McEwen
  • Cristin Milioti
  • Chris O’Dowd
  • Issa Rae
  • Paul G. Raymond
  • Tracee Ellis Ross
  • Jimmi Simpson
  • Harriet Walter

Is there a 7th season of Black Mirror?

Netflix

Yes, Black Mirror season 7 is on Netflix now! And arguably the most-anticipated episode serves as a sequel to season 4's "USS Callister" starring Jesse Plemons, Cristin Milioti, Jimmi Simpson, Michaela Coel, and Billy Magnussen.

The season 7 announcement came with a cryptic message on X. While the tweet itself simply reads "TCKR_Confidential_NotForDistribution.mp4," the video shows an 80s desktop computer rebooting — and for a brief moment you can see "Exit Game" flash across the screen, which makes me wonder if we're reaching the end of this hit series.

When in 2025 is Black Mirror coming out?

Parisa Tag/Netflix

The Black Mirror season 7 release date was April 10, 2025. That means you can watch all episodes now!

How many episodes are in season 7 of Black Mirror?

Netflix

There are six episodes in Black Mirror season 7:

  • Season 7, Episode 1, "Common People" premiered on April 10, 2025
  • Season 7, Episode 2, "Bête Noir" premiered on April 10, 2025
  • Season 7, Episode 3, "Hotel Reverie" premiered on April 10, 2025
  • Season 7, Episode 4, "Plaything" premiered on April 10, 2025
  • Season 7, Episode 5, "Eulogy" premiered on April 10, 2025
  • Season 7, Episode 6, "USS Callister: Into Infinity" premiered on April 10, 2025

Why is a Black Mirror called a Black Mirror?

Netflix

A Black Mirror refers to all of our screens when they're dark. Cell phones, laptops, televisions — they're all Black Mirrors. This makes the series even harder to shake once you've turned it off because you realize that, while the story is fictional, these Black Mirrors are actually around us, and with us, all the time. And ever since Black Mirror season 1, we've never looked at our screens the same way!
