Anime Rules the Week, But Reality TV Holds Its Ground

Bleach Is Coming Back — Again

Screen Rant reports that Bleach has been renewed for a sequel series, with a release date set for November 2026. The announcement lands at an interesting moment for the franchise, which had already earned renewed goodwill through its Thousand-Year Blood War arc. The catalog scores [/shows/bleach-2004](/shows/bleach-2004) a 78, and the critical consensus recognizes it as a fast-paced shonen title with dynamic sword-fighting and strong character arcs — though reviewers have also noted that it can struggle with pacing across its longer stretches.

The sequel lands on Disney Plus and Hulu, the same streaming homes as the current run. Viewers who arrived through similar titles like Yu Yu Hakusho or High School DxD will have a clear on-ramp when the new series debuts.

Tokyo Revengers Season 4 Opens With a New Credit Sequence

ComicBook.com reports that Tokyo Revengers returned with a season 4 premiere on October 3rd, and the new opening confirms the episode count for the run. The series occupies a polarizing space in the anime conversation — catalog reception sits at a 65, with critics split between appreciation for the show's high-stakes dramatic structure and frustration with its central protagonist.

Season 4 is available across Hulu, Crunchyroll, Disney Plus, and Adult Swim. Viewers who follow [/shows/tokyo-revengers-2021](/shows/tokyo-revengers-2021) and want adjacent viewing can look toward Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- or That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, both of which share the time-loop-adjacent dramatic tension the show leans on.

Spy x Family and My Happy Marriage Both Drop Trailers

CBR reports that a new trailer has arrived for [/shows/spy-x-family-2022](/shows/spy-x-family-2022), the action-comedy that currently holds the highest catalog review score in this week's roundup at 90. The show has built its reputation on an unusual tonal balance — fluid action sequences alongside a warm domestic comedy involving a fake family navigating a spy operation. It streams across Hulu, Netflix, Crunchyroll, and Disney Plus.

On the same day, ComicBook.com reports that a trailer dropped for My Happy Marriage specials, confirming a return to Netflix. The series scores a 75 and is described in catalog notes as an endearing romantic drama that threads supernatural fantasy through its emotional core. Similar titles on the platform include Unnamed Memory and More than a Married Couple, but Not Lovers.

Big Brother Gets Two More Seasons at CBS

Deadline reports that CBS has renewed Big Brother for both seasons 29 and 30 in one move. The double renewal is a practical signal of the network's confidence in the format's longevity, whatever critics may say about it — and catalog scores for the series sit at 35, reflecting the decidedly unimpressed critical response the American version drew from reviewers who found it formulaic.

The show streams across Paramount Plus in its various tiers, along with Pluto TV and several other platforms. Viewers looking for similar structured-competition formats are well served by The Traitors and Survivor, both of which have earned considerably warmer critical receptions.

The Watcher Returns, 9-1-1 Drops Two Trailers, and More

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that Naomi Watts and Bobby Cannavale are returning for season 2 of The Watcher on Netflix. The first season, which scored a 62, drew polarized reviews for its Ryan Murphy-inflected blend of suburban paranoia and narrative maximalism — critics who appreciated the eerie real-life premise butted up against those who found the execution uneven. Season 2 now has confirmed returning leads.

Two trailers arrived on October 1st in the 9-1-1 universe. TVLine reports a season 10 trailer for the flagship series [/shows/9-1-1-2018](/shows/9-1-1-2018), teasing what appears to involve a volcano — keeping pace with the show's reputation for escalating its emergencies. The Wrap confirms a separate season 2 trailer for 9-1-1: Nashville. Both shows air on ABC and stream via Hulu and Disney Plus.

Also on October 1st, TVLine shared a first look at Beau Bridges appearing in R.J. Decker, an ABC crime drama that opened as the network's most-viewed 10 p.m. drama premiere in five years according to catalog notes, with a review score of 78. The series streams on Hulu, ABC, and Disney Plus. Meanwhile, Coronation Street offered a first look at its Christmas episodes — no source attribution available for that item, but the British soap holds the week's second-highest catalog score at 88, a reflection of its decades-long status as a cultural institution.
