With her signature energy and depth, Kathy Bates anchors the reimagined Matlock, bringing heart to even the highest-concept material. A master of both film and TV, she’s long blurred the line between the two, earning Emmys and an Oscar along the way.
Mara Brock Akil, the creative force behind Moesha, Girlfriends, and more, is just getting started. With her upcoming Netflix debut Forever, a tender teen romance inspired by Judy Blume, she offers a fresh, emotionally rich perspective for a new generation.
As executive producer and director of Severance, Ben Stiller has helped craft one of TV’s most hauntingly immersive series, but it’s his creative partnership with cinematographer Jessica Lee Gagné that gives the show its signature tone. From day one, their collaboration has shaped its stark, uncanny world, with Gagné’s work evolving into directing, including the standout episode “Chikhai Bardo,” a season two highlight that cements her as a visionary force behind the camera.
Natasha Lyonne began her career in acclaimed women-directed indies like Slums of Beverly Hills and But I’m a Cheerleader and has since established herself as a formidable creative force, writing, directing, and starring in series that push the boundaries of modern television. With Peacock’s Poker Face, developed alongside Oscar-nominated filmmaker Rian Johnson, Lyonne delivers a fresh, sophisticated take on the classic whodunnit, spotlighting top-tier talent in each impeccably crafted episode.
Colin Farrell’s striking transformation in The Penguin is the result of a deep creative partnership with makeup designer Mike Marino. Their collaboration elevates the character beyond prosthetics, allowing Farrell to deliver a nuanced, award-winning performance that’s redefined a familiar villain and sparked calls for more, with or without Batman.
Ramy Youssef and Pam Brady’s #1 Happy Family USA is a bold throwback that uses animation to tackle post-9/11 America with biting humor. Its retro style and fearless storytelling challenge viewers to reflect—and laugh—at a past that’s both uncomfortable and absurd.
Lance Oppenheim’s Ren Faire proves truth can be not only stranger than fiction, but sharper, funnier, and eerily timely. Centered on a power-hungry Renaissance fair owner and his eccentric would-be heirs, the docuseries blends real-life absurdity with sitcom-worthy humor. In a crowded field, Oppenheim has quickly emerged with a distinct voice, spotlighting the bizarre and captivating with a style all his own.
A few years after her Emmy-winning role in Mare of Easttown, Julianne Nicholson returns in Hulu’s Paradise with another layered, magnetic performance. As Sinatra, she may seem like the season’s most compelling villain—but Nicholson deftly complicates that label, revealing a woman shaped by profound loss and driven by survival. Her dynamic with Sterling K. Brown crackles, making every scene a battle of wits and emotion.
Owen Cooper’s breakout in Netflix’s Adolescence is undeniable, especially when you learn his first scene filmed was the gripping face-off with Erin Doherty. Still a student, Cooper delivers a performance far beyond his years, becoming a powerful vessel for urgent conversations about the toxic forces shaping young men today in the Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne-created series.
While Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren drew eyes to 1923, it’s Aminah Nieves who delivered its most powerful impact. Through her unflinching performance, the Paramount+ series confronts the brutal history of Indigenous oppression, still too often ignored. With grace and strength, Nieves closes the saga on a triumphant note, paving the way for more Indigenous stories to be seen and heard.
