As a child actor, Henry Thomas starred in one of Steven Spielberg’s greatest films. Decades later, he hit a crossroads – spiral into alcoholism and divorce or write his way out. Luckily, he picked up a pen instead of a bottle.

Now, the E.T. star has traded Hollywood scripts for epic fantasy novels, proving his storytelling days were far from over. Spielberg launched his career, but this next chapter was all him.

Some actors fade into Hollywood history. Others evolve. After decades in the industry, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial star Henry Thomas took an unexpected detour – into fantasy writing. Faced with long months on set in Romania, he saw two options.

Spoiler Alert: This story includes details from the finale of Prime Target on Apple.

One of the highlights of Apple’s Prime Target has been the welcome addition of Martha Plimpton as Jane Torres, an Nsa queen who heads of a group of spies who surveil mathematicians all over the globe. Her portrayal of the villainous figure who ends up double-crossing her young charge so she can get her hooks into Leo Woodall’s Edward Brooks has made the twisty series a little less preposterous and a lot more fun.

Here, the veteran actress last seen in The Regime and forever missed as Patty Nyholm on The Good Wife talks about the drama’s finale, what viewers should expect will happen to Jane, and why she thinks the show has resonated so much with viewers.

Ione Skye’s latest memoir, ’Say Everything,’ unveils an unexpected and brief romance with the late Matthew Perry which began long after they first crossed paths as young actors.

Their introduction dates back to 1986 on the set of ‘A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon,’ a coming-of-age film where both were still Hollywood newcomers. For Perry, it was his very first movie and for Skye, it was just her second.

However, back then, Skye’s interest lay elsewhere, specifically with the film’s star, River Phoenix, whom she had an on-screen kiss with. Off-screen, though, that romance remained a fantasy since Phoenix was still with actress Martha Plimpton.

It seems a bit premature, but we wanted to have a place where we could begin tracking upcoming Netflix Originals expected to be hitting our screens in 2026. This is an extension to our 2025 movie and TV schedule, which we’ll continue to keep updated throughout 2025.

Important note: Given how far out we are from 2026, everything on this list is highly subject to change. We’ll keep it updated throughout 2025 and into 2026 with the latest confirmations of releases. As of right now, for most titles listed below, we’ve made assumptions based on filming schedules and/or if they’ve been excluded from the 2025 schedule. Of course, Netflix’s development slate is certainly much bigger than what this list implies, with likely well over 1,000 projects that have been announced or titles being worked on behind the scenes, although many will not see the light of day.

The following contains spoilers for Prime Target Season 1, Episode 6, "The Last Link," now streaming on Apple TV+.

Up until now, Prime Target has kept it low-key, more concerned with ancient equations than action or adventure. With Season 1, Episode 6, “The Last Link,“ that is all about to change. Time is ticking, with every agency in hot pursuit as the intrepid duo tries to leave Paris. With an irate Nsa tracking their every move and allies thin on the ground, it is make-or-break time when it comes down to finding that final puzzle piece. Right now, Edward might be an important mathematical asset, but he is also a liability likely to land them both in hot water.

The Goonies are officially making a comeback.

Warner Bros. has confirmed that a sequel to the beloved 1985 adventure film is in development, with Potsy Ponciroli set to write the script. The project is moving forward nearly 40 years after the original movie first hit theaters.

Steven Spielberg, Kristie Macosko Krieger, and Holly Bario will be producing for Amblin Entertainment, joined by Chris Columbus, who wrote the original screenplay. Lauren Shuler Donner will serve as an executive producer. At this stage, no director has been announced, and plot details remain under wraps.

The original movie, directed by Richard Donner and produced by Spielberg, followed a group of kids who stumbled upon an ancient treasure map and embarked on a wild adventure to uncover the hidden riches.

Starring Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Ke Huy Quan, and Martha Plimpton, the film became an instant hit, grossing $125 million worldwide on a $19 million budget.

Nearly 40 years after The Goonies, a sequel to the 1985 film is in the works.

Warner Bros. has tapped Potsy Ponciroli to write the forthcoming sequel. Steven Spielberg and Chris Columbus will return to produce the film with Kristie Macosko Krieger and Holly Bario for Amblin Entertainment. Lauren Shuler Donner will executive produce. No director has been attached to the new project.

Based on Steven Spielberg’s original story, The Goonies was helmed by Richard Donner with a screenplay by Columbus. The movie follows a group of children who embark on a treasure hunt in hopes of saving their homes from being sold and destroyed by a property development company. The film proved successful at the box office at the time, earning $125 million worldwide, but more notably became a monumental pop culture reference, renowned for its beloved characters and iconic catchphrases, including “Goonies never say die!”

The original film starred a young Josh Brolin,...

The long-awaited “Goonies” sequel inches forward. Warner Bros. has hired Potsy Ponciroli, writer and director of warmly reviewed indie western “Old Henry,” to write the screenplay for the legacy sequel for Warner Bros Motion Picture Group.

No director is currently attached, but Steven Spielberg, Kristie Macosko Krieger and Holly Bario will produce for Amblin Entertainment alongside Chris Columbus (who wrote the original), with Lauren Shuler Donner serving as executive producer.

Plot details are being kept in a sunken pirate ship, guarded by a menacing octopus — in other words, under wraps.

Recently, the cast of the original film reunited for star Ke Huy Quan’s hand and footprint ceremony at the Tcl Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, with the same group showing up to the premiere of “Love Hurts.” “Love Hurts” reunited Astin and Quan on screen for the first time in almost 40 years.

Forty years have gone by since Cyndi Lauper let us know The Goonies “‘R’ Good Enough”… and now, it looks like they’re finally ready for a comeback! Last month, it was reported that Warner Bros. is developing new Gremlins and The Goonies films, with Chris Columbus (who wrote both of the original films) attached to at least one of those projects. As Deadline put it, WB was working on “a new Gremlins from Christopher Columbus and a Goonies treatment.” Now, Deadline has learned who’s writing the script for the sequel to The Goonies, and in the process has confirmed that Columbus is involved with both the Gremlins and Goonies revivals. Potsy Ponciroli, writer/director of the 2021 Western Old Henry is writing The Goonies sequel, with Chris Columbus on board to produce the film alongside Steven Spielberg, Kristie Macosko Krieger, and Holly Bario of Amblin Entertainment.

Warner Bros. has hired Potsy Ponciroli to write the script for the sequel, it was announced Friday — almost 40 years after the original movie hit theaters back in 1985. Steven Spielberg, Kristie Macosko Krieger and Holly Bario will produce for Amblin Entertainment alongside Chris Columbus, who wrote the original “Goonies” script. Lauren Shuler Donner will executive produce. There is no director attached to the sequel yet, and there are no plot details revealed yet.

Josh Brolin, Sean Astin, Corey Feldman, Ke Huy Quan and Martha Plimpton all starred in the original 1985 movie about a group of kids who find an ancient map to hidden treasure. Directed by Richard Donner and produced by Spielberg, “The Goonies” made $125 million worldwide at the box office from a budget of just $19 million. It’s gone on to become a cult classic and was selected to be preserved in the National Registry...

After four decades, The Goonies may finally be getting its sequel. While there have been rumors and rumblings for several years about a new movie happening, the latest development on The Goonies 2 comes with the long-gestating project gaining some much-needed momentum to make its way out of development hell.

Per Deadline, it's just been reported that Potsy Ponciroli (Old Henry) has signed on to write a Goonies sequel script for Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group. No information has yet been revealed about the planned story, and it's unclear exactly which characters from the original film are planned to return. No director has yet been named for the project as of this time. Steven Spielberg, Kristie Macosko Krieger, and Holly Bario are producing for Amblin Entertainment alongside original Goonies writer Chris Columbus, while Lauren Shuler Donner will executive produce.

Hey you guuuuyysssss! There have been several Goonies reunions over the years, which seemed to amp once Ke Huy Quan was hitting the awards circuit with Everything Everywhere All at Once, which eventually won him the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. But we just got one of the most complete ever, as Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Jeff Cohen, Kerri Green, and screenwriter Chris Columbus gathered to celebrate Ke Huy Quan getting his hands and feet imprinted outside of the famed Tcl Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. No word on if he set any booby traps.

Ke Huy Quan has had a mid-career resurgence like no other Goonie, and the support he continues to receive – especially through reunions like this – shows a level of loyalty that feels almost unmatched in the world of Hollywood. While Brolin (Brandon Walsh), Feldman (Mouth), Cohen (Chunk), and Green (Andy) all turned out for Quan, the absences...

A teenage Josh Brolin quickly got humbled by Steven Spielberg while filming 1985’s The Goonies.

The actor, who’s now 56, recently looked back at his early acting days on a recent episode of SiriusXM’s Literally! With Rob Lowe, including his starring role as Brand Walsh in the beloved film, directed by Richard Donner.

“I think Goonies was quite an accident,” Brolin recalled. “I went in there, I’ve been told, they pulled the Brolin thing, ‘Are you [James] Brolin’s kid? You want to be an actor, huh?’ So instead of that nepotistic thing, they looked at me and were like, ‘Oh yeah? So act.'”

The Avengers star set out to prove himself as a serious actor, putting his head down in the books and hoping to learn as much as possible.

“I studied,” he said. “I got [Konstantin] Stanislavski books, [Jerzy] Grotowski…and Antonin Artaud and the Theatre of Cruelty.

A brilliant post-graduate mathematics student finds himself at the centre of a dangerous conspiracy after discovering a ground-breaking pattern in prime numbers. His research, which could theoretically unlock access to every computer system in the world, becomes a coveted tool for those with sinister intentions. As forces close in to destroy his work—and potentially his life—he must navigate a high-stakes world of espionage, betrayal, and ethical dilemmas while attempting to safeguard his discovery.

Announced in February 2024 and greenlit by Apple TV+, the series is created by acclaimed writer Steve Thompson. It features a stellar ensemble cast, including rising stars Leo Woodall (The White Lotus) and Quintessa Swindell (Black Adam), alongside Stephen Rea (The Crying Game), David Morrissey (The Walking Dead), Martha Plimpton (Mass), Sidse Babett Knudsen (Borgen), Jason Flemyng (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button).

The Apple TV+ thriller Prime Target plunges viewers into a world that's equal parts academic and dramatic. Its protagonist is mathematics prodigy Edward Brooks, who finds himself thrust into the kind of global conspiracy that TV audiences love. But the antisocial Edward must rely on government agent Taylah Sanders to help him unravel said conspiracy and stay alive, as she has skills that he doesn't -- including knowing how to deal with the rest of the world.

It sounds like a series that could be very complicated, but stars Leo Woodall (who plays Edward) and Quintessa Swindell (who portrays Taylah) explain how much audiences actually need to know to watch Prime Target. They also talk about how much they knew about the story going into the filming experience. Plus, what would they consider the highlights of the show?

Cbr: Audiences know that Prime Target revolves around Edward's mathematical genius,...

With the success of Slow Horses and The Agency, we’ve seen a large influx of espionage shows coming to TV. Prime Target, from producer Ridley Scott and creator Steve Thompson, hopes to capture the same magic as each of those shows. With two young stars, Leo Woodall and Quintessa Swindell, the series could easily become another breakout hit for Apple TV+. Unfortunately, overuse of technical exposition and frustratingly detached characters turn Prime Target into a slog.

Young mathematician Edward Brooks (Woodall) disconnects from the world to pursue a complex math thesis. His advisor, Professor Robert Mallinder (David Morrissey), tries to stop Edward’s research. After Mallinder steals Edward’s research, Nsa analyst Taylah Sanders (Quintessa Swindell) approaches Edward. The research Edward has been working on has drawn international eyes for its real-world applications in the security world.

Prime Target examines mathematical discovery and worldwide consequences through mathematician Edward Brooks’s work with prime number sequences – research that threatens current digital security systems.

The story connects Brooks to scientists like Oppenheimer, showing how groundbreaking research can lead to devastating outcomes. His mathematical work represents both pure theoretical exploration and a threat to global stability, reflecting contemporary fears about technological vulnerabilities.

The series combines abstract mathematical concepts with international chase sequences. The philosophical elements clash with action scenes, making the tone inconsistent. Though merging higher mathematics with dramatic action shows creative intent, common thriller elements take precedence over nuanced storytelling.

People say maths is boring, but the latest Apple TV+ thriller really goes out of its way to convince you otherwise. That's probably why Prime Target puts Leo Woodall front and centre for a start: you can't really go wrong with the man who made us swoon in One Day and gasp in The White Lotus. It also helps that his character, Edward, soon develops feelings for a cute bartender played by Hawkeye star Fra Fee, abs and all. Then there's Leo's co-lead, Quintessa Swindell, whose arrival in Episode 2 brings extra charisma, as a secret agent who's out of their depth, but still trying their best. Yet even with all that going for it, something's not quite adding up…

We're told that, "Math nerds are probably the most dangerous people on the planet," but this line, like many others throughout the show, feels forced and even clunky.

There’s not much I remember about high-school calculus, more than two decades since my last class. But one thing I do recall being taught over and over was the importance of showing the math. How you built your case and demonstrated your logic was just as important, we were told, as whether you got to the right answer.

The new conspiracy thriller Prime Target gets to the right answer, I suppose, in that it looks expensive (there’s that Apple TV+ money), serves up basically competent if unmemorable action and raises worthwhile if not exactly novel debates. But it does not show the math, serving two-dimensional pawns instead of three-dimensional characters and lofty-sounding speeches instead of nuanced dialogue — and, as a result, fails to add up to much at all.

Its protagonist, Ed (Leo Woodall), is a Cambridge postgrad on the verge of creating a theorem to find prime numbers.

Apple TV+ has unveiled the first official trailer for the eight-episode series “Prime Target,” enticing viewers with a conspiracy and the fate of the world.

Leo Woodall stars as Edward Brooks (“The White Lotus”), a gifted math postgraduate who is about to find a key breakthrough in prime number patterns. After Edwards runs into an Nsa agent, played by Quintessa Swindell (“Black Adam”), the two work together to uncover a troubling mystery as unseen enemies try to destroy Edward’s idea that could unlock the key to every computer.

The supporting cast includes Stephen Rea, David Morrissey, Martha Plimpton, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Jason Flemyng and Harry Lloyd, among others.

“Prime Target” is created by Steve Thompson (“Sherlock”), who also serves as executive producer. The first two episodes premiere Jan. 22 exclusively on Apple TV+ with the following episodes dropping weekly.

A new ‘The Goonies’ movie is reportedly in the works at Warner Bros.According to Deadline, the studio is looking to shift its strategy to proven franchises, and so have put a sequel to the late Richard Donner’s 1985 adventure film into development. The follow-up flick will bring back ‘The Goonies’ co-scribe Chris Columbus - who wrote the original film with Steven Spielberg - to pen the story of the upcoming movie.As well as a second ‘Goonies’ picture, Columbus is also set to be writing the script for a new ‘Gremlins’ movie after he penned the treatment for the original 1984 film.While no details about a potential release date or cast are known, it is possible ‘The Goonies’ sequel will see the return of actors Josh Brolin, Ke Huy Quan, Sean Austin, Corey Feldman, Jeff Cohen, Martha Plimpton and Kerri Green as the grown-up group of adventurous kids from the first movie.

After many years of rumors and false starts, The Goonies' long-awaited sequel may finally be on a positive development track. Richard Donner's 1985 classic saw a group of kids uncover the treasure map of a long-lost pirate captain, setting them on a quest to find it while avoiding the grip of a ruthless crime family. The Goonies cast featured Sean Austin, Corey Feldman, Josh Brolin, Ke Huy Quan, Jeff Cohen, Martha Plimpton, and Kerri Green as the titular group of young adventurers.

As Deadline reported on the shifting strategies of Warner Bros. for the 2025 calendar, the outlet reported that the studio seeks to fall back once more on several proven franchises alongside its filmmaker-driven projects. One such project was a new Goonies sequel, with Chris Columbus set to return and pen a treatment, having written the screenplay for the 1985 movie. Columbus has previously been reported to have been part of discussions with Donner,...

Dust off the doubloons and turn off all the lights because a report from Deadline reveals that not only has "The Goonies" (one of the best kids movies ever made) received treatment for a sequel, but family filmmaking legend Chris Columbus is also working on a third "Gremlins" movie.  

Look, we know, okay? We're also scared of turning up our excitement levels a single jot when it comes to these two nostalgic nuggets, given the history of both franchises trying to squeeze out one more story for the past few decades. As it stands, "Gremlins" had advanced a little, at least in animated form, when the prequel series, "Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai," aired on Max in 2023. Even the director of the original two films, Joe Dante, deemed that the show might as well have been "Gremlins 3," which made for an enjoyable watch. Nevertheless, in his eyes, it's a...

Soon, he begins to realize an unseen enemy is trying to destroy his idea before it’s even born, which throws him into the orbit of Taylah Sanders, a female Nsa agent (played by Swindell) who’s been tasked with watching and reporting on mathematicians’ behaviour.

“The world’s greatest mind is now the most wanted,” teases Apple TV+ in the official trailer for its new series Prime Target starring One Day star Leo Woodall.

In the trailer for the conspiracy thriller released Monday, Woodall stars as an intelligent math postgraduate Edward Brook, who discovers a breakthrough in possibly finding a pattern in prime numbers. Should he succeed, Edward would hold the key to every computer in the world. When his idea catches the attention of dangerous enemies, they move to destroy the idea before it progresses further. Nsa agent Taylah Sanders (played by Quintessa Swindell) has been tasked with watching and reporting on mathematicians’ behavior, but then the two join forces to unravel the government conspiracy Edward has unexpectedly found himself at the center of.

Woodall’s breakout role was in The White Lotus, which won a SAG award for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series.
