Got nothing to watch? Roku wants to end your boredom with new discovery tools
Roku TL;DR Roku is introducing a number of Roku OS updates aimed at making it easier to find what you're streaming next. Top 10 TV Shows, Top 10 Movies, and a Newly Added section will help you keep on top of trends. A new In Theaters Now row lets you plan for what you'll be streaming a few months down the road. Can't find the streaming solution you're looking for from the current lineup of Android TV devices? That's not a problem, and the market's big enough to support competition from the likes of Apple, Amazon, and more. Some of the most popular options around come from Roku, with devices running the gamut from the basic Streaming Stick to the 4K Roku Ultra. And today, we're learning about some new features coming to the whole Roku lineup. Maybe the single biggest problem with modern streaming is the question of discovery. With so many disparate services, each in a constant state of flux, adding and dropping content, it can feel like a full-time job just trying to keep up with what's available where — much less staying in the know about new shows and movies dropping soon. To help out with just that, Roku is sharing all the new discovery tools it's cooked up for Roku OS. Everybody loves trailers, so the new Surf Mode sounds right up our alley. This uses machine learning to pick up on your tastes and puts together a series of clips previewing content it thinks you'll like from The Roku Channel. If you're more concerned with staying on top of the popular shows everyone else is watching, new rows highlighting the Top 10 TV Shows and Top 10 Movies will give you a quick rundown of where those eyes have been glued. Or if you've got your sights a little further out, you can get ready for what's next with the In Theaters Now row that helps you track films long before they're even ready for streaming. Finally, Roku's upgrading its linear streaming free TV channels to make it easier to see what's on any premium subscriptions you may have, as well as implementing a Newly Added section to keep you on top of the latest channel additions. If you still can't find anything to watch after getting all these new discovery tools — well, we don't know what to tell you! (Maybe just give up and go read a book?) Roku says that users should start seeing these upgrades arrive over the next few weeks. Follow

From Tim Cook to Issa Rae, these 13 successful people wake up before 6 a.m.
Apple CEO Cook wakes up between 4 and 5 a.m. to read emails from customers. On a 2023 episode of the podcast "Dua Lipa: At Your Service," Cook said he likes to wake up between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. to respond to emails. "I read emails from a lot of customers and employees, and the customers are telling me things that they love about us or things that they want changed about us. Employees are giving me ideas. But it's a way to stay grounded in terms of what the community is feeling, and I love it," he said. The rest of his morning routine involves strength training, getting ready for work, drinking coffee, and eating a light breakfast. Mark Wahlberg follows an intense morning routine that starts at 3:30 a.m. In October 2023, Wahlberg told he wakes up at 3:30 a.m. to work out at 4. After some reading and "prayer time," he said he starts the process of getting his kids to wake up. He has four children with his wife, Rhea Durham: Grace, 15, Brendan, 16, Michael, 19, and Ella, 21. " … I'm up and down the stairs at least three times to get the teenagers up and I get them off to school, and then I usually start the rest of my day," he said. Michael B. Jordan has said he wakes up naturally at 5 a.m. Jordan said in a 2018 episode of the Vanity Fair series "In a Day" that his "body is a natural alarm clock." "Whether I like it or not, I get up around 5 o'clock in the morning but then I go back to sleep depending on what I have to do; it's like a second sleep, it's like a really really good sleep," Jordan said. The "Sinners" star told Ebony in 2024 that when he's actually ready to get up, he likes to stretch, meditate, and do breathing exercises. Sometimes he'll do cardio on the treadmill or switch up his routine and lift weights instead. Pinterest's CMO Andréa Mallard wakes up at 5 a.m. to work out and meditate. In 2022, the Pinterest global CMO told BI that she goes to bed at 9 p.m. so she can start her days at 5 a.m. Her morning routine consists of 45 minutes of intense cardio, then listening to a five-minute meditation while in the shower. Mallard then makes a breakfast smoothie, which she drinks around 6:30 a.m. while preparing for her workday. This includes checking emails and reviewing and taking notes on pre-read materials, giving her at least two hours of uninterrupted work before she pauses to help get her three kids ready for school at 8 a.m. "I'm definitely at my most creative or innovative in the very early morning hours, well before anyone wakes up," she said. "If a work challenge needs lateral thinking or requires serious creative muscle or a tough decision, it's the first thing I'll tackle in the morning." Emmy-winning comedian, actor, and screenwriter Quinta Brunson usually wakes up at 5 a.m. In a 2023 episode of Elle magazine's series "Waking Up With…," "Abbott Elementary" creator and star Quinta Brunson shared that although she was waking up at 8 a.m. for the video, she wakes up at 5 a.m. a lot. The first thing she does in the morning is clean her face with water, a washcloth, and makeup-remover wipes before moving on to skincare products. Gymshark founder and CEO Ben Francis wakes up between 5:30 and 5:45 a.m. every day. In a 2022 interview with BI, Francis said he likes to simplify his mornings by doing the same thing every day. This includes waking up between 5:30 a.m. and 5:45 a.m., much to the dismay of his wife, he said. He starts his mornings with breakfast and time with his dogs before getting ready and heading to the office, where he works five days a week. Rae wakes up at 4 a.m. to work out. "Insecure" creator and Sienna Naturals cofounder Issa Rae has a lot on her plate. In a 2024 interview with Glamour, Rae was asked about her favorite way to take a moment for herself. "It's in the early morning," she said. "Honestly, I get up at four and that is my workout time." "And then literally after that time, I sit with coffee and a journal and just sit with my thoughts," Rae added. Pressed Juicery CEO Justin Nedelman wakes up naturally around 4:15 a.m. on weekdays. In a July interview with BI, Nedelman said he wakes up around 4:15 a.m. on weekdays. He starts his mornings with a 10-ounce glass of water and a 5-ounce Americano or pressed cold brew — his only caffeine of the day. The rest of his morning routine includes everything from meditation and breathwork to catching up on news, working out, and helping his wife make breakfast and lunches for their kids. Olabisi Boyle, the senior vice president of product planning and mobility strategy at Hyundai Motor North America, wakes up at 5 a.m. "I start work between 7:15 and 7:30 a.m. but wake up at 5 a.m. to give myself time to breathe," Boyle said in an interview with BI in 2023. Boyle said she likes to start her mornings by checking on yearlong goals and progress. "Everything I do ties into these initiatives, so it's important to start my mornings by breaking down what needs to be done in order to achieve our goals," she said. Multi-hyphenate Shonda Rhimes wakes up at 5 a.m. to start writing. The mind behind hit series like "Grey's Anatomy," "Scandal," and " Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story" collaborated with MasterClass in 2016 to teach writing for television. In episode 11, "Writing a Script: Effective Habits," Rhimes said, "I used to think that there was like a special magic golden hour in which I wrote better than any other time. But that keeps changing, so I no longer think that's true." At the time, she said, her schedule involved waking up at 5 a.m. to get a lot of writing done, then focusing on writing again in the office around the middle of the day. Despite her early wake-up time, Rhimes is an advocate for work-life balance, telling Fast Company in 2017, "I do not answer phone calls or emails after 7 p.m. I do not work on weekends … I mean, I write. I just don't answer phone calls or emails." Snap Inc. CEO Evan Spiegel gets up around 5 a.m. for "Evan Time." The 35-year-old described his motivation for waking up early in an interview that appeared in Entrepreneur's Handbook in 2018. "I get up really early, because that's the only time that's ' Evan Time ' for me, when people aren't really awake yet. I get a couple hours between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. to do whatever I wanna do," he said. Snap told BI in 2024 that after Spiegel wakes up, he takes 30 minutes to check the app and his email and drink a double espresso. Bumble founder and former CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd's schedule can require waking up at 5:15 a.m. "Most of my days are unpredictable and start at different times, so I try my best to keep up with a stable morning routine. I sleep with the drapes open to rise with the sun," Wolfe Herd told Entrepreneur in 2017. "I think that's a healthy thing to do because even if you don't like to wake up early, your body does adjust." Wolfe Herd gave The New York Times a glimpse into her "unpredictable" days in 2019. Throughout the week, her mornings included everything from a 5:30 a.m. call with her London-based Bumble founding partner Andrey Andreev to homemade celery juice and Chinese takeout for breakfast and a monthly directors' meeting. After becoming a mother to two boys, Wolfe Herd told Time magazine in 2023 that she likes to operate one hour at a time. "I try to do the drive to preschool with no calls so I can pay attention to him," she said of her oldest son, Bobby. "And then the minute I drop him off, literally as I'm giving him a hug out the door, I have to dial into something. But I've structured it so that that call on the way home is totally sequenced perfectly to get back to my computer to then pick up another two things on Zoom." Disney CEO Bob Iger wakes up around 4 a.m. to enjoy some quiet time. In a November 2024 episode of the podcast "In Good Company," Iger said he wakes up around 4 a.m. every day. Iger said that although one could argue he doesn't get enough sleep, the morning time "is rejuvenating." "First of all, it's meditative, it's quiet. The stimulation that exists in my life when it's still dark out and no one else is up, is toned down, and so when I get a chance to be alone with my thoughts and that gives me an opportunity to be — to order things — meaning to figure out an order and a set of priorities, it gives me an opportunity to think more creatively," he said.

August 2025 TV preview: Alien: Earth, Peacemaker's return, and Long Story Short
August is shaping up to be a pretty big month in television for period dramas thanks to Apple TV+'s Chief Of War and a Starz's Outlander prequel. Meanwhile, Prime Video drops a spin-off of The Terminal List's and a new spy series starring Lost's Daniel Dae-Kim. And as far as big franchises, John Cena dons his Peacemaker helmet for the show's long-anticipated return, while, in MCU land, the world of Black Panther widens with a new animated saga. Plus, Netflix welcomes another original series from BoJack Horseman's Raphael Bob-Waksberg, and—in the biggest TV news of August—Noah Hawley presents Alien: Earth. Here is The A.V. Club's guide to what to watch on TV next month. Eyes Of Wakanda (Disney+, August 1) Created by Marvel storyboard artist Todd Harris, the animated series Eyes Of Wakanda expands the lore of Black Panther. Specifically, it focuses on Wakandan warriors called the Hatut Zarare, who carry out dangerous missions to retrieve vibranium artifacts. Not only do they travel the world for this, but they also move through various historical periods via the Sacred Timeline (including alternate realities and dimensions), as established in Doctor Strange: The Multiverse Of Madness. EOW is shown through the POV of Noni (Winnie Harlow), a disgraced Dora Milaje fighter, and the show's voice cast also includes Cress Williams and Steve Toussaint. [Saloni Gajjar] Chief Of War (Apple TV+, August 1) Jason Momoa and his Chief Of War co-creator, Thomas Pa'a Sibbett (Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom), cannot resist a major underwater moment, as evidenced by footage of the actor riding a shark in this show's trailer. The 19th-century set series, inspired by the rebellion against Hawai'i's unification, centers on a warrior's fight to stop Western colonization of the islands. Momoa and Sibbett, who also worked together on The Last Manhunt, wrote all nine episodes, and the Game Of Thrones alum directed the finale. Told mostly from the perspective of Indigenous characters, Chief Of War has an ensemble that features Temuera Morrison, Kaina Makua, and Te Ao o Hinepehinga. [Saloni Gajjar] King Of The Hill season 14 (Hulu, August 4) After rumors swirled in 2017 that Fox was interested in bringing back Mike Judge and Greg Daniels' animated favorite, the revival of the show is finally coming to Hulu. And you can definitely expect the titular Arlen, Texas, denizen to be thoroughly confused by all-gender restrooms, Uber ratings, and modern life in general: 'I don't know how to kick someone's ass over Zoom,' he proclaims in the trailer, 'but I'll figure it out.' [Tim Lowery] Outlander: Blood Of My Blood (Starz, August 8) It wouldn't be an Outlander spin-off if time travel weren't involved. This prequel tracks how Jamie Fraser's parents (portrayed by Harriet Slater and Jamie Roy) fell in love in 18th-century Scotland. It also charts the romance between Claire Beauchamp's mom and dad (played by Hermione Corfield and Jeremy Irvine) during World War I in England. And, thanks to the ancient stone circles in the Highlands (the same ones that transported Claire back in time in the original's premiere), everyone's paths cross when the Beauchamps land up in 1714 Scotland. As a bonus, fans can look forward to seeing younger versions of Outlander faves like Murtagh Fraser (Rory Alexander) and Jocasta Mackenzie (Sadhbh Malin). [Saloni Gajjar] Alien: Earth (FX, August 12) Fargo's Noah Hawley takes over the Alien franchise with a cool-looking and -sounding prequel set two years before the events of Ridley Scott's original film. In 2120, the planet is being ruled by five mega corporations, with synths and Cyborgs co-existing. Enter the CEO of a tech company, who develops a hybrid: a synthetic robot with human consciousness named Wendy (Sydney Chandler). When a Weyland-Yutani spacecraft crash-lands in a crowded city with different alien species—not just the Xenomorphs!—onboard, Wendy and her newly formed team investigate and try to stop these creatures. Timothy Olyphant, Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, Adarsh Gourav, and David Rysdahl round out the cast. [Saloni Gajjar] Butterfly (Prime Video, August 13) At the heart of Butterfly, an action-packed spy thriller, lies a family secret. The six episodes, based on the graphic novel of the same name, center on David Jung (Daniel Dae Kim), a skilled U.S. agent who has been presumed dead for the past couple of decades. Except he's very much alive—and reunites with his now-adult kid, Rebecca (Reina Hardesty), who trained to become a covert operative just like him. Father and daughter team up to bring down the agency that recruited them because Rebecca is being framed by them for a crime. And along the way, the duo attempts to repair their fractured relationship. [Saloni Gajjar] The Twisted Tale Of Amanda Knox (Hulu, August 20) Hulu reenacts another headline-grabbing case in this eight-episode limited series, which tells the tale—a very twisted one, some might say—of the American-exchange student who was locked up for murdering her roommate in Italy back in 2007. This Is Us scribe K.J. Steinberg created the show, which stars streamer regular Grace Van Patten, the great Sharon Horgan, John Hoogenakker, Francesco Acquaroli, and Giuseppe De Domenico. [Tim Lowery] Peacemaker season two (HBO Max, August 21) More than three years after its premiere, Peacemaker punches its way onto our screens again. In season two, mercenary vigilante Chris Smith (John Cena) and his A.R.G.U.S. pals—including Leota (Danielle Brooks) and Harcourt (Jennifer Holland)—battle a revenge-seeking Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo). A big storyline features the pocket dimension introduced in James Gunn's Superman earlier this summer, which likely explains why Peacemaker meets his doppelgänger in the trailer (and could potentially bring Chukwudi Iwuji's Clemson Murn back into the fold). Expect appearances from Nathan Fillion and Isabela Merced, who play Justice Gang members Guy Gardner and Hawkgirl, as well as Sean Gunn reprising his brief movie role as DCU villain Maxwell Lord. Gunn wrote all eight installments and directed a couple of them as well. [Saloni Gajjar] Long Story Short (Netflix, August 22) Raphael Bob-Waksberg is back with his first Netflix show since the fantastic BoJack Horseman. The animated comedy Long Story Short chronicles the Schwooper siblings from (like Bob-Waksberg) Northern California, with the series bouncing between years and portraying their ups and downs as kids and adults. Paul Reiser, Lisa Edelstein, Max Greenfield, Michaela Dietz, and Ben Feldman lead the voice cast. This one can't arrive soon enough. [Tim Lowery] The Terminal List: Dark Wolf (Prime Video, August 27) Seven months after American Primeval, Taylor Kitsch returns to the small screen to star as CIA operative Ben Edwards in this prequel to The Terminal List. The new action drama delves into Edwards' backstory and reveals a dark past from his time as a Navy SEAL and special-intelligence agent. Co-created by David DiGilio and TTL author Jack Carr, this show also sees Chris Pratt reprising his role as Commander James Reece from the original.
