This Week in TV

Spider-Noir Arrives, Hacks Signs Off, and Spartacus Gets Cut

A Nicolas Cage superhero noir leads the week, Hacks takes its final bow, Star City expands Apple TV+ space drama, and Spartacus hits a hard stop.

Week of 2026-05-25
This week is about clean TV decisions: sample Nicolas Cage in Spider-Noir, check in for the Hacks finale, and see whether Star City gives the For All Mankind universe a useful new angle. Spartacus: House of Ashur is the caution flag, while Regular Show is the recent arrival worth catching if it slipped by.

This week's actual headliners

Starz cancelled the gladiator sequel after one season, even with solid critical heat and Lionsgate reportedly looking for another home. That is the kind of hard stop that changes whether a curious viewer jumps in now or waits to see if it gets rescued.

Show details

Nicolas Cage slips into hard-boiled superhero mode as Spider-Noir premieres May 25 on MGM+ before arriving on Prime Video May 27. It is the week's loudest new-series swing: comic-book IP, noir styling, and Cage turned loose in black-and-white detective mode.

Star CityApple TV+

Apple TV+ launches Star City on May 29, flipping the For All Mankind universe toward the Soviet side of the space race. If that franchise is your brand of alternate-history tension, this is the new branch to watch.

Show details

Hacks reaches its series finale on May 28, which makes this more than a normal weekly episode. Deborah and Ava have earned appointment-TV status, and this is the last big check-in.

In case you missed it

Regular Show: The Lost Tapes premiered May 11, so it is not brand-new this week, but it is still worth flagging as a recent animated revival that people may have missed while bigger finale and renewal news crowded the feed.

That is the useful version of the week: start with the fresh arrivals, make time for Hacks if you have been riding with Deborah and Ava, and treat Regular Show as the bonus tape you may have missed.
