The Hunting Wives has become a massive hit on Netflix, topping Luminate's U.S. streaming rankings with over 2 billion minutes watched in its debut week. The show, originally planned for Starz, is now a major success for Lionsgate Television. Meanwhile, HBO Max’s And Just Like That… also made the top 25 despite its recent cancellation.

Editor’s Note: This shows how quickly a show can explode in popularity when it lands on a major platform like Netflix—even if it wasn’t originally meant for it. It’s also a reminder that streaming performance can sometimes defy expectations, with canceled shows still pulling in big numbers. For studios, it’s proof that strategic platform choices can make or break a series.

Fox is launching a new direct-to-consumer streaming service called Fox One, offering access to Fox News, broadcast channels, and sports cable networks without requiring a traditional pay TV subscription. The service will cost $19.99 per month and launches on August 21.

Editor’s Note: This move signals Fox's push into the competitive streaming market, giving cord-cutters another option for live news and sports. While the price is higher than some standalone services, it could appeal to fans of Fox's content who want to ditch cable. It also reflects the broader shift in media as traditional networks adapt to changing viewer habits.

HBO Max had a funny mishap during the latest episode of The Gilded Age—some viewers accidentally got the Spanish-language version instead of English. Actress Carrie Coon and the streamer joked about the glitch on social media, with HBO Max playfully apologizing ("Lo siento"). The mix-up didn’t seem to ruin the experience, as fans found it more amusing than frustrating.

Editor’s Note: While technical glitches can be annoying, this one turned into a lighthearted moment, showing how companies and stars can handle mistakes with humor. It also highlights the quirks of streaming platforms, where even small errors can spark big reactions online.
