Prime Video has released the first teaser for “The Greatest,” its upcoming limited series starring Jaalen Best as the boxing champion, humanitarian and global icon.

Produced with unprecedented access to Ali’s story, “The Greatest” is being billed as the first authorized scripted series about his life. Lonnie Ali serves as an executive producer alongside Michael B. Jordan and his Outlier Society banner, while “Cross” creator Ben Watkins serves as creator and showrunner.

The cast also includes Omari Hardwick and Dana Gourrier as Ali’s parents, Michael Ealy as Malcolm X, Amin Joseph as Sonny Liston, Kai Parham as Ali’s brother and Giovanni Ribisi as trainer Angelo Dundee. Rather than focusing only on the fights that made him famous, the series promises to explore Ali as a son, brother, husband and father.

Netflix has officially renewed “Nemesis” for a second season. Created by Courtney A. Kemp and Tani Marole, the crime thriller stars Matthew Law as LAPD detective Isaiah Stiles and Y’lan Noel as master thief Coltrane Wilder, whose rivalry will continue across Los Angeles.

Kemp and Marole say the next chapter will be “bigger and more intense,” further complicating the conflict between Stiles and Wilder while potentially exploring more of Charlie and Ebony’s history. New characters are also expected to enter the story. Production is set to resume soon, but Netflix has not announced a release date.

The renewal follows a strong first-season run, with “Nemesis” reaching No. 1 on Netflix’s English-language television chart with 11.4 million views during the week of May 18.

LeBron James will not return to the Los Angeles Lakers for the 2026–27 season, ending his eight-season run with the franchise.

His longtime agent, Rich Paul, told ESPN that James intends to continue his career and play a record-setting 24th NBA season, but with another team. The 41-year-old joined the Lakers in 2018 and helped lead the franchise to an NBA championship in 2020.

James’ next destination has not been announced. The Golden State Warriors have been linked to the four-time NBA champion, but no agreement has been reported.

Ice Cube and Nia Long are officially reuniting for “Are They Gone Yet?”, the third film in the “Are We There Yet?” comedy franchise and their first installment together in nearly 20 years.

Currently in early development after being acquired by Skydance Sports, the new movie will see Cube reprise his role as Nick Persons, who now faces his biggest and possibly most chaotic challenge yet: becoming a grandfather.

Long will return as his wife, Suzanne Kingston-Persons. Written by Chris Hazzard and Mike Fontana, the film is being produced by Broken Road and CubeVision, with Ice Cube, Todd Garner and Jeff Kwatinetz serving as producers and Ben Hurwitz and Lauren Gennawey executive producing.

The original “Are We There Yet?” premiered in 2005 and followed Nick’s disastrous road trip with Suzanne’s children, while the 2007 sequel, “Are We Done Yet?”, centered on the newly married family renovating their dream home.

Together, the two films earned more than $156 million worldwide and later inspired a three-season TBS sitcom. No release date, director or additional returning cast members have been announced.
