New York City’s cultural amenities are many, but none quite match the number, scale, and variety of its museums. There is literally an institution for every interest, whether it’s in art, history, science, or quirkier subjects. From 5,000 years of art history at The Metropolitan Museum to cutting-edge art at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York City is an art lovers' paradise. There are dozens of other types of museums, too, like the encyclopedic American Museum Of Natural History, the classical New-York Historical Society, and the sultry Museum of Sex. Photography fans have to check out the International Center of Photography, architecture buffs should head to the Skyscraper Museum, and transit lovers can't miss the New York Transit Museum. And, of course, that’s just the tip of the iceberg, even if you don’t count all of the other museums in Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. Is it a lot to take in? Certainly. But if you want to find a museum with your name on it, look no further than our complete guide to the best museums in NYC, complete with highlights at each one.  RECOMMENDED: 🖼Full guide to the best museum exhibitions in NYC

We love a European vacation as much as the next person, but perhaps less so these days. Despite the innovations in air travel luring us abroad, there’s just too much to see and do right here in America. With plenty of accessible domestic tourism and stunning destinations for year-round travel, a weekend getaway in the U.S. is just the vacation we all need right now. Our picks bypass the obvious choices, say New York or L.A., in favor of smaller cities with booming art scenes, lesser-known towns with incredible restaurants and coastal spots with plenty of room to spread out on the sand. You’ll find fewer crowds and plenty of small-town charm at these unexpected destinations. Looking for someplace to go in 2026? These places should absolutely be on your travel radar this year.

So you’re looking to find a good jazz club in NYC? The city is the home of some of the best jazz in the world and has been since the 1920s. But recently, they, along with so many live-music venues around the city, have gone through a rough patch with skyrocketing rent and cost increases. That’s why it’s important to enjoy a night out at these bastions of great music. We’ve rounded up the top jazz clubs NYC has to offer from Greenwich Village, Manhattan to Gowanus, Brooklyn, touching on hallowed landmarks, swanky newcomers, cutting-edge outer-borough spots, no-frills joints, date-idea destinations and more.

Cherry blossoms in NYC offer New Yorkers a brief but gorgeous pop of beauty, which is why we flock in droves to see them when they bloom each spring. From the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to Central Park and even some hidden spots around town, we've rounded up the best places where you can gaze at the delicate pink flowers, take the perfect warm-weather-ready photo for your Instagram feed (remember to wear your cutest pink outfit), and check off your bucket list with these best things to do in spring.  RECOMMENDED: Best NYC events in 2026 When can you see cherry blossoms in NYC? Cherry blossoms bloom in NYC based on each year's weather, but they usually begin in earnest by late March. CentralPark.com says the park's trees bloom from April to May. Speaking of Central Park, the cherry blossom trees here can be found between 72nd Street and 96th Street around the Reservoir, Cherry Hill, Pilgrim Hill, Great Lawn, Cedar Hill, and the area just south of Cedar Hill between 74th and 77th Streets. But Central Park isn't the only place to admire these pretty petals; keep scrolling for the full list. 

When you're really feeling "the grind," it's your body and mind's way of telling you to go to the spa. If a weekend getaway isn’t in the cards, hitting one of the best spas in New York City is especially a great alternative. The city's spas dish out serious serenity in the form of massages, facials and other relaxing treatments so you can be refreshed and on the way to stress-free bliss. Spas are not just for melting away stress (though that’s certainly a welcome side effect), they also offer services that can soothe sore muscles, refresh tired skin or get you ready for a beach weekend or big night out. Others offer facilities where you can spend a full day unwinding (girls’ day, anyone?). Some offer or even specialize in couples massages for a romantic date option. NYC spas range from affordable to all-out luxurious. Treat yourself to a pampering at one of these spas—you deserve it.

Nowhere in the world does luxury quite like New York City, and from sleek, glassy, towering stays which overlook Columbus Circle and Central Park to tiny little boutique hotels which feel more like ridiculously fancy private homes, luxury comes in all grandiose shapes and glitzy sizes here.  But we aren’t just talking about cloud-like bedding and pretty decor—luxury also means gorging on dishes crafted by world-class chefs, being in prime New York locations, and enjoying polished, attentive service.

This list is from 2024. Our latest ranking for 2025 is live here. In 2024, what exactly makes a neighbourhood cool? Craft breweries, natty wine bars and street art are well and good, but the world’s best, most exciting and downright fun neighbourhoods are much more than identikit ‘hipster hubs’. They’re places that reflect the very best of their cities – its culture, community spirit, nightlife, food and drink – all condensed in one vibey, walkable district. To create our annual ranking, we went straight to the experts – our global team of on-the-ground writers and editors – and asked them what the coolest neighbourhood in their city is right now, and why. Then we narrowed down the selection and ranked the list using the insight and expertise of Time Out’s global editors, who vetted each neighbourhood against criteria including food, drink, arts, culture, street life, community and one-of-a-kind local flavour. The result? A list that celebrates the most unique and exciting pockets of our cities – and all their quirks. Yes, you’ll find some of those international hallmarks of ‘cool’. But in every neighbourhood on this list there’s something you won’t find anywhere else. Ever been to a photography museum that moonlights as a jazz club? Or a brewery with a library of Russian literature? How about a festival dedicated to fluff? When communities fiercely support and rally around their local businesses, even the most eccentric ideas can become a reality. And that, in our eyes, is

This list is from 2025. Our latest ranking for 2026 is live here. People who don’t live in cities will tell you they’re busy, lonely and expensive places. But there’s a reason so many people choose to live in them: with world-class art and culture, unbeatable food and nightlife, buzzing neighbourhoods and a dizzying amount of stuff to do and see, there’s simply no better place to be.  Every year, we take the pulse of city living by quizzing thousands of locals across the planet about life in their hometowns. This year, more than 18,500 city-dwellers shared their insights on everything from food, nightlife and culture to affordability, happiness and the overall city vibe. When urban living can sometimes feel isolating and costly, this year we wanted to get a sense of what, exactly, makes a city feel like home. Sure, the nightlife is great, but is the city safe and walkable? Is good quality food and art available at a reasonable price? Is it easy to make friends, find love, and access nature?  Livability was a key factor in our ranking this year. But a great city to live in is, naturally, a great city to visit. So, along with the thousands of responses from locals around the world, we asked Time Out’s global network of city experts to vote on the places they think are particularly exciting right now. After crunching all that data, here we are: Time Out’s definitive ranking of the world’s best cities in 2025. Read on to see how your hometown fared… RECOMMENDED:🛍️ The coolest n

A cool 1,100-feet up, Summit One Vanderbilt sits atop the 67-floor One Vanderbilt, the city's fourth-tallest building (after One World Trade Center, Central Park Tower, and 111 West 57th Street), which is located just west of Grand Central Terminal.  But first, you'll enter the experience underground. After a trip through a mirrored hallway with its own immersive elements, take an elevator up to the 91st floor, perched 1,000 feet over the streets and sidewalks of NYC. Kenzo Digital has created a totally mirrored infinity room called "Air" that reflects the sky and city views over and over, making you feel like you're walking in the sky or on another plane of existence. Looking above you and below you in this two-story space, you see your reflection repeating forever. After you ascend to the third level of this experience, guests are introduced to "Levitation," a series of transparent glass sky-boxes that jut out of the building at 1,063 feet above Madison Avenue. Here, you can stand over the street with just glass between you and the ground. It's certainly not for the faint of heart. If you want to amp up your visit, opt for a SUMMIT Premium Experience—the ticket package offers guests an elevated journey through Midtown’s tallest skyscraper and includes skip-the-line access, a personalized 90-minute guided tour of SUMMIT’s three dynamic floors, a complimentary cocktail or mocktail at SUMMIT’s Après, and stunning views of NYC and beyond.

The opulent residence that houses a private collection of great masters (from the 14th through the 19th centuries) was originally built for industrialist Henry Clay Frick. The firm of Carrère & Hastings designed the 1914 structure in an 18th-century European style, with a beautiful interior court and reflecting pool. The permanent collections include world-class paintings, sculpture and furniture by the likes of Rembrandt, Vermeer, Renoir and French cabinetmaker Jean-Henri Riesener.  Following its 2020 closure for renovations, the Frick Collection reopened on April 17, 2025 inside its historic Gilded Age mansion. Now, visitors can see the museum's permanent collection inside restored spaces on the first floor while also walking around a new roster of galleries on the mansion's second floor—once the Frick family's private quarters—now open to the public for the very first time. That means you can walk into the original bedroom of Henry Clay Frick! Read more on The Frick's incredible new offerings, including a new 218-seat auditorium, an airy class room, an expanded reception hall, new state-of-the-art conservation studios and the museum’s first-ever cafe.

A hotel needs to tick at least three boxes for when you’re visiting New York City—it’s got to be clean, comfortable and centrally located. Aura Hotel Times Square checks these off easily, and it all begins when you enter the lobby on West 44th Street. As soon as we stepped inside the soothing space (with a dreamy scent immediately gracing us), the chaos of midtown quickly faded away. Our check-in was seamless and pleasant (we were given two drink tickets to the bar next door, The Long Room), and we got to head up to our room straight away, one of the penthouse suites overlooking part of Times Square and the Theater District—a reminder of just how perfectly located Aura Hotel is. Why stay at Aura Hotel Times Square? Set across from Belasco Theatre, a block or two from Bryant Park, Times Square and many other Broadway theaters, it is one of the more convenient stays in the area, and it doesn’t skimp on vibes. Aura Hotel was previously Hotel Mela, but it underwent an extensive renovation, with a grand reopening in 2024 by Rebel Hotel Company. So, what’s new here? A fresh aesthetic with newly redesigned rooms with modern furnishings, state-of-the-art technology and better cityscape views is what. The stylish design found in each room is both calming and pleasant with upscale touches across the space, from plush rugs to light wood accents and more. Plus, there are lovely Molton Brown toiletries and Nespresso coffee machines in each room. Aura Hotel Times Square also has a dedicate

Coney Island has been the center of seaside amusement since before the turn of the 20th century. It has been romanticized in film and music—beloved for its exciting rides and wacky attractions for children and the nostalgic memories it brings to adults. It saw years of neglect, sure, but the arrival of the Luna Park amusement park restored the area’s lively nature. Today, hundreds of thousands of people visit what has become one of the top New York beaches offering a range of fun things to do in summer. From movie nights to concerts and the wild Mermaid Parade, there’s truly an activity for everyone. The summer destination is one of the best day trips from NYC, so when you go, hit must-visit stops like Nathan’s Famous hot dog stand for a bite, attend a crazy Coney Island Cyclone game and check out New York City's only aquarium.

Love the art of letter writing? Letters Live allows you to step into the words of luminaries like David Bowie, Charlotte Brontë, Che Guevara, Mohandas Gandhi and others with a live reading by talented performers. In the past, featured performers have been Benedict Cumberbatch, Lawrence Fishburne, Olivia Colman, Cate Blanchett and Taika Waititi! Not only that, the live reading is set to live music by popular artists. But you won't know who's performing until they take the stage. Organizers say, "rest assured, you will not be disappointed!" You'll have three nights to sit in for the readings—May 31 and June 1 and 2.

This was the first recreational cannabis retail store in New York and its focus is on smaller businesses owned by BIPOC and women, including Florist Farms, Back Home Cannabis Company, Aryloom and Lobo Cannagar. You’ll find vapes, edibles, flower, prerolls and more from these brands in addition to apparel and literature about smoking, cannabis, the mission of Housing Works and more. You can peruse its full menu here. The dispensary in its first year added 200 more products to its menu with more from queer-, BIPOC- and women-owned and led companies. And currently carries several social equity brands, including Brelixi, Fat Nell, The Weekenders and Flamer and Drew Martin. Housing Works also puts its generated revenue back into the community that it serves. Since 1990, the nonprofit has been an advocate for those living with and affected by HIV/AIDS and has provided lifesaving services and has done that through entrepreneurial businesses, including its 10 thrift stores and bookstore/cafe in Soho. The dispensary was its 12th shop in NYC and one of many dispensaries it has planned (another just opened in NoMad at 30th Street and Sixth Avenue). 

This giant space with shiny wood floors and colorful art on its walls is Steinway's own licensed cannabis dealer and art gallery.  Those looking for product get a personalized experience with a focus on the therapeutic and wellness benefits that cannabis can offer in a welcoming, informative and educational atmosphere. And as mentioned earlier, Cannavita has its sights set higher—it regularly hosts gallery nights to support local artists, comedy nights and even yoga nights to encourage mindfulness and wellness.

NYC Bud is not only Long Island City's first recreational dispensary but the first subway-themed dispensary. The interior is designed to look like an MTA subway station with vintage subway benches, subway signs and even graffiti from classic ’80s artists. There's a “wide range of high-quality” NYC cannabis brands for purchase in-store or delivery, including flower, pre-rolls, vapes, edibles and accessories from brands like Dank, Zizzle, MFNY, Ruby Farms, Good Times, Chef for Higher and Plug N Play. The shop also hosts fun events like Buds & Brushes, comedy shows, bud brunches and DJ sets.

Tucked away on Bridge Street in an old factory basement, this two-story playscape for kids and adults contains ample room for fun, including laser tag, mini-bowling and arcade games. Laser tag games are comprised of three 10-15-minute matches, where you bob and weave around rustic columns and obstacles Area 53 has set up. Across an hour-and-a-half, you and your friends will be giggling and screaming as you "shoot" each other's guns to gain points. It's not for the faint of heart—running to avoid lasers is a workout, but a super fun one. We'd recommend checking out its "After Dark" laser tag and mini-bowling for those 18+ on Thursday nights. Area 53's mini-bowling allows for up to six people to knock down pins across 25 minutes and its arcade has traditional games, from basketball shooting games to racing games and claw machines.  Area 53 has other locations with even more fun—its Williamsburg "Adventure" spot has a ropes course, rock climbing, a zip line, slides, battle beams and ball and foam pits, an arcade, roller skating and more! There's also an Area 53 Paintball arena in Williamsburg that's 20,000 square feet (with its own arcade). We recently took our editorial team to laser tag at Area 53, and we had an absolute blast (pun intended).

Dig and ye shall find: The booty at this crazy-packed vintage store includes 1960s–1990s options for both guys and girls, plus a considerable costume jewelry and funky housewares selection. Not only is it chock full of great finds but it's really fun to look at. We went on a recent Saturday and found so much amid its racks, including a barely used sleek Michael Kors purse for $50 and a pair of never-worn, black velvet combat boots for $25. Even cooler, I found out that they take donations and you get 25% off your next purchase. Time Out Tip: The store spans two floors at 496 Driggs Avenue and 197 North 9th Street, so plan accordingly and bring some friends (and reusable bags) for a hunt to remember.

This Australian shop, which began as a market stall in 2007, opened a store in Brooklyn in 2012, and offers pretty good deals, from $5 and $10 boxes of vintage pieces to dig through to more curated selections from Brooklyn-based brands. More specifically, its denim selection is impressive and includes a lot of different styles, patterns and fits. The store says Malia Obama, Jenna Ortega, Olivia Rodrigo and Robert Pattinson have all perused its wares. Time Out Tip: On a recent visit, we picked up some darling dangling star earrings and a watch ring—it was very busy, so we plan to go back on a week day.

The fascinating history of one midtown building has become its future. The Chemists' Club Hotel, which opened February 2025, rests within a 1911 building that used to be home to the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the New York Section of the Society of Chemical Industry until 1987. The boutique hotel, which was redesigned from the former Dylan Hotel by Ilmiodesign, has 107 guest rooms and suites, a fitness center, a dedicated concierge and the acclaimed restaurant Benjamin Steakhouse, which remains.  But the star of the redesign is its Alchemy Suite, which boasts original gothic arches and stained-glass windows. The Penthouse Suite with a terrace featuring sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline is a runner up and for those with humbler budgets, the Junior Suites offer a still luxe experience with modern amenities and their own separate sitting areas. If you travel with your family or friends, you can opt for a deluxe double room. This is a very New York conversion—when it was a Chemists' Club, scientists met on a “social floor,” worked on a “scientific floor,” rented out one of its three laboratories, and stayed in its residential spaces. Now, travelers from all over are invited to luxuriate there. “Guests are encouraged to immerse themselves in the hotel’s artistic heritage, featuring works by renowned artists and sculptors–like Marcos Castillo and Carlos Bustamante–that celebrate the time honored story of the original Chemists’ Club,” the hotel’s press release states.

“There will be no doubt who the gods have chosen to rule.”  That’s the new tag line of House of the Dragon Season 3, which will raise the stakes even higher when it debuts on June 21. Based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, the series tells the story of House Targaryen, 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones. RECOMMENDED: Watch: The trailer for season 4 of ‘The Legend of Vox Machina’ just dropped Before we're dropped back into the fantastical world, here's what you need to know about the new season. Where can I watch the House of the Dragon season 3 trailer? HBO Max dropped season 3’s final trailer this week, which you can watch right here. When does season 3 premiere? House of the Dragon season 3 premieres June 21. When do the episodes air? Episodes will drop weekly on Sundays until the season finale on August 9. What happened in the last season of House of the Dragon? Last we left the series (two years ago), we watched the Targaryen civil war (the "Dance of the Dragons") escalate as several new riders, including dragonseeds such as Hugh Hammer (Kieran Bew) and Ulf (Tom Bennett), bonded with riderless dragons while Queen Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) pressed her claim while continuing her rivalry with Alicent (Olivia Cooke). With armies and dragons poised across Westeros, tension built around Dragonstone, King’s Landing and the Riverlands, with no payoff (a frustrating and abrupt ending). Regardless, season 2 set us up for a decisive, war-ending confrontation in

Not to butter your biscuit, but Popeyes just made it easier to make its most popular item at home. The Louisiana-inspired chain released at-home biscuit mixes that you can make in your own kitchen—just in time for National Biscuit Day on May 29. Available at Walmart, HEB, Kroger and Target locations, there are two varieties available: Homestyle and Cajun Cheddar. Best of all, they both only require a few easy steps to create 10 biscuits in just 18 minutes. All you need is water and butter for the Homestyle biscuits and, for the Cajun Cheddar, just a sprinkle of cheese. They’re priced at just $3.23 – $3.49 depending on your location. That’s a steal considering that a single  Popeyes biscuit costs over $1 at the drive thru. “Our guests have always loved our biscuits, and we’re thrilled to bring the flavor of the iconic Popeyes Biscuit into homes nationwide in a whole new way,” says Matt Rubin, Chief Marketing Officer at Popeyes, in a statement. “Launching ahead of National Biscuit Day is an exciting milestone that allows fans to celebrate the Popeyes brand beyond our restaurants and give guests a new way to experience the flaky, buttery flavor they know and love wherever they are.” Allrecipes.com says the homemade biscuits would pair perfectly with their fried chicken and copycat red beans and rice recipes or be used in its popular biscuit-topped casseroles or butter swim biscuits.  If you don’t want to make your own biscuits for National Biscuit Day, Popeyes Rewards members ca

There’s just no faking it. When The Boroughs showrunner Jeffrey Addiss set out to film the Netflix sci-fi series set in New Mexico, he knew it had to be done on location. “We fought to shoot in New Mexico,” says Addiss. “We wanted those big open skies. We wanted that sense of beauty and openness.” RECOMMENDED: 17 Netflix movies to watch this summer: 'Enola Holmes 3,' 'The Whisper Man' and more And they got it. The Boroughs is set in a picturesque New Mexico retirement community of the same name (very much like the real-life The Villages in Florida). “When a terrifying nighttime encounter reveals that something monstrous is stalking the manicured cul-de-sacs, a grieving newcomer (Sam, played by Alfred Molina) is inspired to join a misfit crew of unlikely heroes who uncover a dark secret that proves their ‘golden years’ are more dangerous, and they are more formidable, than anyone expects,” the logline reads. You can watch the trailer here: While The Boroughs itself is a fictional development, the set was built at the Netflix Studios Albuquerque backlot. Sam’s cul-de-sac and the village’s downtown shops were all built for the production. “You could go into those shops and turn on those coffee machines and they would work,” Addiss adds. “What this production did and what our production designer did is a feat.” Beyond that, the show filmed in existing New Mexico locales. The defunct Traditions Mall was turned into a vibrant town square, according to director of photography M

If you’re a Potterhead, any amount of information about the forthcoming HBO Max series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, is like magic itself. So when we saw HBO’s teaser trailer for all the content it’s releasing this year, we had to alert you. Harry Potter makes a quick appearance in the video, but it gives us a little more to look forward to. Here’s the trailer. The Boy Who Lived can be seen entering the quidditch field and taking hold of his new wand. Someone cut the trailer down to show just the Harry Potter scenes. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Harry Potter HBO (@harrypotterhbonotofficial) According to Deadline, the show’s first teaser, released in March, became the most-watched in HBO and HBO Max history. Since then, HBO has released a 30-minute sneak peek episode titled Finding Harry: The Craft Behind the Magic that unveils details about the casting, costume design, special effects, sets and more. The teaser trailer also confirmed a December 25 release—perfect for a holiday watch with the family. Stay tuned here for more Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone updates!

It’s no longer a mystery—a teaser trailer for Enola Holmes 3 is finally out and it gives us so many hints for what to expect when it drops on July 1. Netflix’s romantic mystery film, features Enola, the young sister of Sherlock Holmes, as she is caught up in another thrilling conspiracy, this time with a shotgun wedding (well, sort of). The teaser shows sweet moments with her fiancé, Tewkesbury, but it appears she may miss her own wedding when another intrigue calls her to the island nation of Malta. “You’ll have to wait and see what brings her there—but once she’s arrived, Enola is flung into a nest of vipers,” Netflix describes. “As the private detective juggles a new case and the next stages of her relationship with Tewkesbury, the game is truly afoot.” RECOMMENDED: 17 Netflix movies to watch this summer: 'Enola Holmes 3,' 'The Whisper Man' and more Of course, Millie Bobby Brown is back as the title character while Louis Partridge returns as her fiancé, Tewkesbury, Henry Cavill is back as her brother, Sherlock Holmes, and Helena Bonham Carter returns as her mother, Eudoria Holmes. Watch the teaser here: The film is truly a family affair. Millie Bobby Brown and Bobby Brown are producers while Jake Bongiovi and Isobel Richards are executive producers for PCMA Productions. Mary Parent, Ali Mendes, and Alex Garcia are producers and Joshua Grode is executive producer for Legendary Entertainment. Michael Dreyer also executive produces the film.

It’s down to three. The New York Knicks became the Eastern Conference champions on Monday night, setting up their first trip to the NBA Finals since 1999. Now that the celebration has died down, all eyes turn out west.  The San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder will go head-to-head this week to see who will face off against the Knicks.  RECOMMENDED: Here's where to stream WNBA games this season There’s a lot at stake, no matter who makes it to the Finals. If the Knicks win, they’d bring home the Larry O'Brien Trophy for the first time since 1973. If the Thunder wins, it’ll be their second consecutive win in two years. And if the Spurs take it, it’ll be another feather in their cap, having won five times since 1999. Unfortunately, you can’t just catch the games on one streaming platform. NBA League Pass won’t show the games live, so here are the networks you’ll need to tune in to so you can catch the finale of the NBA playoffs.

June 1 marks a historic day for Netflix—it’ll launch its first-ever live video podcast stream, and it’ll be hosted by Charlamagne tha God. The artist’s show that he co-hosts with DJ Envy and Jess Hilarious, The Breakfast Club, will air both as a live video show on Netflix each weekday and as a radio broadcast on iHeartRadio. Instead of commercial breaks that happen on the radio, the three-hour Netflix stream will show exclusive bonus segments, behind‑the‑scenes moments, extended discussions and other original content. RECOMMENDED: Here's how to watch the full 'Late Show with Stephen Colbert' season finale What does the podcast entail? Like many, you can expect “unfiltered conversations, headline‑driving interviews and cultural commentary as it happens,” according to iHeartMedia. Because it’s a daily show, it was a good match for Netflix, which says it’s trying to get into the podcast and creator-driven content space. The streamer already launched a pre-recorded podcast show with Pete Davidson, a sports podcast from football icon Michael Irvin, official Bridgerton and One Piece companion pods, as well as popular podcasts “My Favorite Murder” and shows under The Ringer umbrella like from Bill Simmons.  But as a daily live podcast, The Breakfast Club will be a whole new experience. “Do y’all understand what ‘Live Globally’ really means? Mornings in New York. Daytime in the U.K. and Ghana. Evenings across other parts of the world,” said Charlamagne tha God in a statement. “The me

Your viewing schedule is packed this summer. HBO Max is bringing it with at least eight shows—dramas, comedies and documentaries—that'll keep your eyes fixated on the screen. Of course, everyone is awaiting the premiere of House of the Dragon's third season, but there's much more to look forward to, from a Big Bang Theory spinoff to a hilarious retelling of American history with Larry David, as well as documentaries that'll keep you on the edge of your seat like one about a cult-like group run by a Manhattan socialite in the 1980s. Below are the confirmed series premieres on HBO Max this summer that you'll want to check out. RECOMMENDED: 12 shows you'll want to watch on Apple TV this summer 1. Bring Me The Beauties: A Model Cult Premieres: June 1 (three episodes, airs weekly on Mondays) “Bring Me The Beauties: A Model Cult chronicles Hoyt Richards, who, at 16 years old, meets an enigmatic Manhattan socialite on a Nantucket beach and is pulled into his spiritual group, Eternal Values. Soon after, Richards ascends to fame as one of the first male supermodels of the 1980s. Eternal Values, the cult-like group, and its larger-than-life leader Frederick von Mierers, leveraged the glamorous world of 1980s New York to prey upon a community of young models and professionals, seducing them with his New Age cocktail of metaphysical and spiritual teachings, and entangling them in a web of fabrication and exploitation.”   2.

To this day, Michael Jackson’s artistry is celebrated around the world, but his personal life has been a divisive topic—and his 2005 trial is largely to blame. Jackson, who is still seen as the King of Pop even 17 years after his death, was charged with multiple counts of child molestation but was acquitted on all counts. Despite that, his fans and critics still don’t see eye to eye on what really happened. A new, three-part documentary coming to Netflix on June 3, titled Michael Jackson: The Verdict, aims to unveil more details from people who were inside the courtroom—jurors, eyewitnesses, accusers and defenders—on both the prosecution and the defense.  Its filmmakers, executive producers David Herman (showrunner) Fiona Stourton and James Goldston, say that they’re aiming to take the audience inside the proceedings. “Anyone interested in the Michael Jackson story should feel this documentary gives them a window into what was largely a closed event and a chance to feel closer to what happened,” they tell Tudum. Directed by Nick Green, the documentary is meant to present the facts as they unfolded in court, much like you might watch a doc about a historical event. “It has been 20 years since the trial of Michael Jackson in which he was found not guilty. Yet, to this day, controversy still rages,” the filmmakers say. “No cameras were allowed in court, and so the public’s view of the facts at the time were filtered by commentators and presented piecemeal. It was time to take a

After six years of incredible outfits, scenic adventures and exciting romance, Netflix’s Emily in Paris is coming to a close. Its sixth season will be it’s last. Lily Collins, who plays Emily, announced the news with a video on Thursday. “Season 6 will bring you everything you love about the show and serve as the final chapter in Emily’s adventure of a lifetime,” she says.  “I can’t wait for all the magic ahead and to celebrate our final season with you in the most chic way yet!” Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie Grateau), Ashley Park (Mindy Chen), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Lucien Laviscount (Alfie), Samuel Arnold (Julien), Bruno Gouery (Luc) William Abadie (Antoine Lambert), and the rest of the cast make appearances in the clip, too. Last season, Emily was in Rome, where she had a thing with an Italian cashmere heir, Marcello, before deciding she really wants to be in Paris. She she must decide whether to join Gabriel in Greece after he sends her a postcard invitation. Mindy gets engaged but still has a spark with Alfie. This time, Emily she must decide whether to join Gabriel in Greece after he sends her a postcard invitation (season 6 will be set in Greece, Monaco and back in Paris).

It was a big night—and the last night—for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.  The finale episode on Thursday night featured celebrities like Paul McCartney, Jon Batiste, Elvis Costello, Bryan Cranston, Paul Rudd, Tig Notaro, Ryan Reynolds, Jon Stewart, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Andy Cohen and Elijah Wood.  The show had a plot, where the set would eventually get sucked into a “wormhole,” a sort of representation of Colbert’s loss. But it was so Colbert, if you know you know: McCartney was the surprise couch guest for the show and performed “Hello, Goodbye” with Louis Cato, Costello and Batiste, and Colbert quoted Gandalf only to have Elijah Wood pop up to say “Hey!” His Strike Force Five buddies—Late Night host Seth Meyers, Last Week Tonight host John Oliver, Live! host Jimmy Kimmel and The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon–reassembled for the final send off, too. It was both a joyful and somber watch.  “This show has been a joy for us to do for you. In fact, we call this show ‘The Joy Machine,’” Colbert said during his monologue. “We call it The Joy Machine because to do this many shows it has to be a machine. But the thing is, if you choose to do with joy, it doesn’t hurt as much when your fingers get caught in the gears.” In the final scene, McCartney, who played at the Ed Sullivan Theater with The Beatles in 1964, was given the final honor of turning off the lights, before the wormhole sucked in the The Late Show marquee and neon Colbert into a snow globe that played The Late Nig
