Sherlock Holmes' sharp, fearless sister Enola (Millie Bobby Brown) is all grown up and headed for sunnier European shores, as Enola Holmes 3 throws an international case on her desk and a wedding date on her calendar.
Based on Nancy Springer's The Enola Holmes Mysteries and adapted by Jack Thorne, the Netflix films have seen the British detective solve the case of the missing mum and the case of the missing sister. Now, with Adolescence director Philip Barantini on a much more upbeat project, Enola Holmes 3 sees her off to Malta. And Enola's got a lot on her plate: She's conflicted about tying the knot, and her famous brother Sherlock (Henry Cavill) has been kidnapped, leaving behind only cryptic notebooks for Enola to decipher.
SEE ALSO: 'Enola Holmes 2' includes a real historical event. Here's what happened.With another playful performance from Brown and her accomplished co-stars, and a Victorian narrative that surprisingly acknowledges Britain's bloody colonial legacy, Enola Holmes 3 files another satisfyingly twisty case for the franchise. And this time, we finally get to hang out properly with Dr. John Watson (Himesh Patel).

Credit: John Wilson / NetflixLeaving the perilous alleyways of Victorian England behind, Enola Holmes 3 sends our young sleuth to sun-drenched Malta, where another adventure awaits: marriage. Despite Sherlock's grumblings about losing that all-important Holmes name to an aristocrat, she's engaged to her dear Lord Ernest Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge). However, Enola's increasingly cold feet lead to something much more chilling: missing family members and a sinister plot.
But while Sherlock's sister may be in a completely new setting, the elements of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work have followed her to Malta — as have the charming Enola Holmes-style collage animations and sketches. Though it's not set on Baker Street, watching Enola teaming up with Watson or in hand-to-hand combat with Moriarty is a pure Sherlockian delight, with the young heroine really getting to step into her brother's shoes this time around — with hand-drawn CSI effects highlighting clues and forensic detail.
Sharon Duncan-Brewster is truly chilling in her unnerving interpretation of the villainous Moriarty. Henry Cavill ruffles his debonair version of the famous detective. And Helena Bonham Carter seems to have a ball as Enola's vigilante mother, Eudoria. Thankfully, we get much more time with Patel as the Watson, as the actor brings charm, elegance, and care to Sherlock's future companion — and watching Enola and Watson bitch about Sherlock's worst habits is long overdue.
Millie Bobby Brown's Enola remains on the case. Millie Bobby Brown in "Enola Homes 3." Credit: John Wilson / NetflixAs the titular heroine, Brown has plenty to balance. While bringing that Holmes-style energy, wit, and curiosity to her investigative side, the star also embraces Enola's struggle with societal expectations, of choosing her now-established career as a Holmes or her marriage as the future Lady Tewkesbury. Enola's Fleabag-style fourth-wall breaking remains an engaging tool for Brown to lean on, though it does have a cheesy "you're probably wondering how I got here" effect at times. Nonetheless, she also kicks ass with impressive stunt sequences, jumping across balconies in burning buildings, firing guns from speeding carriages, and doling out some brutal hand-to-hand combat.
Brown also makes a sweet pair with Partridge, as the film crafts an adorable grown-up romance for the detective and the viscount. And Brown and Cavill's now worn-in relationship as the Detectives Holmes feels authentic, as Enola relies on her brother's teachings to track him down.
Barantini and editor Tommy Boulding weave Enola's memories from the first two films into her present, providing a handy recap of character bonds. But there's still plenty to reveal, secrets which lead Enola Holmes 3 into delicate territory.
Enola Holmes 3 acknowledges British colonialism within its twisty mystery. Henry Cavill in "Enola Holmes 3." Credit: John Wilson / NetflixIt's not the first thing you'd expect in a teen adventure movie, but as an adaptation of Victorian literature, Enola Holmes 3 acknowledges the painful legacy of British colonialism in theme and narrative.
Set within the late 1880s in the Victorian era, the Enola Holmes series has already successfully dabbled in real events, with the Matchgirls Strike fuelling the narrative of Enola Holmes 2. In the third film, the reach of Empire is no abstract concept and instead a present reality, with the Anglo-Afghan Wars factoring into the storyline, and the film's Malta setting as a Crown Colony proving loaded territory for the characters.
The Malta we watch Enola in — as she trawls through crime scenes and chases leads through a carnival — is one of beauty, but also British sovereignty. Maltese characters are openly deemed second-class citizens, and Enola becomes enlightened, especially when she teams up with Mikiel Mizzi (a great Joe Azzopardi) of the real Partito Anti-Riformista, who resist the Crown. This does hinge on virtue-signalling for the heroine, but it's an acknowledgment by the franchise of the realities of the romanticised period.
Exactly how far characters would go "for queen and country" becomes an underlying consideration. Watson reflects on his father's role during British Raj, and Enola realises her wealthy British privilege. However, Enola Holmes 3 is not a history lesson, merely a reflection of the context it's set within.
As the third chapter in this mystery history trilogy, Enola Homes 3 gives our young detective a high stakes case to crack, a sweet, enduring love story, and real-world context to consider.

Opens in a new window Credit: Luminar Neo The Award-Winning Luminar Neo Lifetime Bundle $79.99Good photo editing software usually means a monthly subscription that never stops, even in the months you barely shoot. Luminar Neo works differently. It’s a full photo editor for Windows and Mac, the kind you’d use to retouch portraits, fix landscapes, or clean up a busy shot, except it leans on AI to do the slow parts for you. You pay one time instead of every month, and right now this bundle pairs the editor with a course and a stack of add-ons for $79.99 (reg. $332).

SkyAI detects the sky in your photo and replaces it in a couple of clicks, so a washed-out gray afternoon becomes a sunset without any masking. RelightAI separates the foreground and background so you can brighten a face without blowing out everything behind it. The Erase tool removes a stray tourist or a power line and fills the gap automatically, and SkinAI smooths and retouches a portrait without making anyone look plastic. If you don’t know where to start, the built-in AI Assistant reads the image and recommends edits based on the objects and colors it finds.
You’ll also be getting a landscape editing course with 20 lessons and nearly three hours of video, plus 35 practice photos to edit along with. On top of that are eight creative packs: Wanderfilm and Fujinon Says presets for film color, Blue Mood and Minimal Nature LUTs for grading, and four sky and overlay sets.

Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 5 on Tuesday, confirming months of speculation about an upgrade to its mid-tier AI model.
According to the company's official announcement, the new model is designed to be its "most agentic Sonnet model yet." Meaning it is capable of planning, using tools like browsers and terminals, and operating autonomously — all at a level previously reserved for larger, pricier systems.
SEE ALSO: Claude Mythos 5 is back, but only for a select group of US institutionsAnthropic says Sonnet 5 is a substantial improvement on its predecessor, Sonnet 4.6, across reasoning, coding, and knowledge-work benchmarks, and performs close to the company's flagship Opus 4.8 model while costing significantly less to run.
And in an industry increasingly plagued by sticker shock over the price tokens, Sonnet offers a brief respite. The model launches with introductory pricing of $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens through August 31, after which the standard pricing of $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens takes effect.
On safety, Anthropic reports Sonnet 5 shows lower rates of hallucination, sycophancy, and other undesirable behaviors than its predecessor, along with improved resistance to prompt-injection attacks. The company noted the model's cybersecurity capabilities remain well below those of its Opus-class and Mythos-class systems, and Sonnet 5 has launched with cyber safeguards enabled by default as a precaution.
Notably absent from Anthropic's announcement: specific figures on those improvements in hallucination rates. The company offers only a general claim of "lower rates" compared to Sonnet 4.6, rather than benchmark data.
The release also made no mention of the model's energy consumption or environmental footprint, a real problem for the AI industry as models grow more capable and computationally intensive.
SEE ALSO: AI data centers could be wrecking the environment faster than we thoughtSonnet 5 is now available across all Claude plans, including Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise tiers, as well as via Claude Code and the Claude Platform via the API under the model name claude-sonnet-5.
The release follows weeks of anticipation in the tech press. As we reported in February, reports have been circulating for some time that Anthropic was preparing a Sonnet update positioned to rival Opus-tier performance at a steep discount — a forecast that tracks with Tuesday's official rollout.

The House passed sweeping kids' online safety legislation Monday night in a 267-117 vote (with 47 members abstaining), but the bill's path forward is far from settled.
The legislation, known as the KIDS Act (Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act), emerged as a bipartisan compromise out of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, according to POLITICO. It would, among other policies, restrict minors' use of disappearing messages, require AI chatbots to disclose that they aren't human, and mandate age verification for platforms hosting pornographic content. Age-verification mandates typically require proof of age, such as submitting one's government ID or a facial scan.
SEE ALSO: Roblox launches accounts for kids and teens globallyThe KIDS Act packages portions from 14 digital safety bills, The Hill reported, including the long-debated Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA). This version of KOSA omits the "duty of care" provision central to the Senate's version, which would require platforms to actively prevent and mitigate harm to minors related to issues like self-harm, eating disorders, and substance abuse. Child safety advocates and senators from both parties are critiquing the absence, including the ranking member of the Senate Commerce Committee, Democratic Sen. Maria Cantwell, and the original KOSA co-sponsor, Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn, POLITICO reported.
KOSA itself has long been a flashpoint. In 2023, Blackburn said in an interview that protecting children from "the transgender [sic] in this culture and that influence" should be a top conservative priority, comments made shortly before she discussed KOSA — fueling concerns from LGBTQ advocates that the bill could be used to target queer content online even without saying so explicitly. Digital civil liberty groups, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, have also argued for years that KOSA endangers online rights. EFF's Jason Kelley called KOSA's age-verification mechanism a "giant censorship machine that also is privacy invasive" at the time.
In May 2026, a coalition of 45 state attorneys general also warned that the broader House package could limit states' authority to enact stronger child safety protections of their own, a concern that "weighed heavily" on Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who ultimately voted against the bill, according to POLITICO.
Age verification in the KIDS ActBeyond the political fight over KOSA's text, the KIDS Act's reliance on age verification faces a more fundamental challenge.
Initial data suggest that age-verification laws simply don't accomplish what lawmakers intend. In a 2025 working paper (since published in the Journal of Law & Empirical Analysis), researchers analyzed Google Trends data across several states with age-verification laws already in effect. Researchers found a 51 percent drop in searches for Pornhub, the largest platform complying with such regulations. But that decline didn't reflect reduced demand — it reflected migration. Searches for XVideos, a major non-compliant platform, rose 48.1 percent in those same states, while searches for VPNs, commonly used to bypass geographic restrictions, climbed 23.6 percent.
Pornhub's parent company, Aylo, told Mashable at the time that traffic in Louisiana, one of the few states where it still operates while complying with verification rules, dropped roughly 80 percent. "These people did not stop looking for porn," the company stated. "They just migrated to darker corners of the internet that don't ask users to verify age, that don't follow the law, that don't take user safety seriously, and that often don't even moderate content."
Its authors acknowledged limitations, including an inability to isolate the search behavior of minors specifically — the population the laws are actually meant to protect — but another study published in Nov. 2025 reached similar conclusions.
As POLITICO notes, with the House and Senate still divided over which kids' safety proposal to advance, and Aug. recess narrowing the legislative window, it remains unclear whether the KIDS Act will pass in the Senate in its current form — or if concerns over its missing duty-of-care provision and its age-verification approach will force further changes.
The most acclaimed LGBTQ movies of the 2020s — All of Us Strangers, I Saw the TV Glow, Fire Island, Leviticus, even Tár — have little in common with Blue Film. Yet writer/director Elliott Tuttle’s Blue Film holds a 95 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, even with two very flawed characters and a subject matter most audiences would run from.
Unlike most of the aforementioned films, Blue Film contains no romance or sweetness. While Blue Film's characters are as complicated as Lydia Tár, they are not exceptional performers like she is, nor do they have any of the trappings of success, like money, partners, or kids. Blue Film is about one person who has done unspeakable things and another who humiliates lonely people for cash. Not only are the characters difficult to identify with, but their disclosures and interactions throughout the movie make it intentionally uncomfortable for the audience.
While Blue Film was adored by critics, it hasn't yet found a wide audience. Now that it's been released on streaming, it may find more people willing to confront its difficult story.
I recently connected with Tuttle and the movie's stars, Reed Birney and Kieron Moore, about Blue Film. One thing I wanted to know was what Birney and Moore thought of Tuttle's script. Both actors said they were fascinated by the characters, thought of them as challenges, but weren't sure anyone would actually see such a movie.
"What are the odds of a low-budget movie about a pedophile having an audience?," Birney, a Tony winner who also executive produced Blue Film, said. "For it to come out and be greeted so rapturously and so seriously, I'm still in complete disbelief... even when people don't like it, I understand why they don't like it."
SEE ALSO: The big question LGBTQ daters are asking, according to Hinge What's Blue Film about?The movie's protagonist, Aaron Eagle (Moore), is an LA-based queer camboy who performs for a gay male audience. He’s hostile to his online audience, peppering them with slurs, which seems to be what they want. A pathological liar, Aaron refuses to be honest about his life before he became a cam boy. He's also insecure, posturing an extreme version of masculinity by taking up as much space as possible and using his formidable size to intimidate. He’s pretty hard to like, at least in his current incarnation.
Aaron may have been more endearing before heartbreak — and life in LA — hardened him. The movie’s plot kicks into gear when Aaron heads to the home of a fan who's offered $50,000 for a night with him. Answering the door in a ski mask is Hank (Birney), and just like that Blue Film shifts into horror-thriller territory. The shocks will soon arrive, but there are no weapons, per se.
See, Hank is no stranger. He was one of his teachers back in Maine. Recently released from prison for trying to sexually assault one of his students, Hank is now in Los Angeles specifically to see Aaron, whom he believes he was in love with. That's news to Aaron.
What follows is an all-night conversation between the two men as Hank works to break down Aaron’s defenses and extract some truths from him. Hank is hiding a lot, too, but he seems more adept at opening up and offering up some version of his past, even if it’s filled with delusional thinking and bullshit justifications. Hank is a pedophile, and he seems too oddly comfortable with that fact. Some viewers will recoil at that, others will stay to see what happens.
Blue Film is a dark movie, with a hopeful ending.Hank is a deeply damaged man who has hurt children, but is superficially a much nicer person than Aaron — while Aaron broods and deflects, Hanks smiles and inquires. Thanks to Aaron's youth and the fact that he’s never done anything remotely as evil as Hank, the younger man seems salvageable in comparison. Because the movie is bookended with Aaron, Tuttle seems to indicate his Blue Film is not about redeeming Hank or making the audience sympathize with a pedophile. Yet Hank is an unexpected force for good to grown Aaron.
At one point, Hank talks about the two men as children and asks Aaron if he ever feels pity for his younger self. It’s a question at the heart of the film — do we ever offer compassion to our earlier versions, our innocent childhood selves eventually beaten into cynicism by life? Can we ever drop our adult armor and get back some of that joy and wonder? Hank reminds Aaron of the earlier self he's discarded; a likable kid who loved to sing. At the end of the encounter, Aaron is humming to himself in the shower and then napping peacefully, with the weight of his double identities seemingly sloughing off his shoulders. This suggests Aaron may have a chance at reclaiming some of his more innocent, joyful self.
Tuttle says he began journaling before the script came together. He was writing about his own adolescent sexuality and the story "became this whole other thing about loneliness and the way we explain ourselves to ourselves," he told Mashable.
Blue Film offers no easy answers.The conversation that constitutes the majority of Blue Film is occasionally interrupted by beer guzzling, weed smoking, and flashes of sex that end almost as fast as they begin; in that regard, there are some similarities between Blue Film and the 2011 gay classic Weekend, which explored how a short, chance encounter between two men can lead to a deep connection; maybe even a relationship. But, unlike Weekend, there is no climactic kiss in Blue Film, or even an indication its characters will ever see each other again.
Still, both movies speak to the queer experience of adopting personas to shed identities that no longer suit us. While Weekend used a sexy, confident twink as a foil for its repressed/depressed protagonist, Tuttle utilizes a pedophile to the same end. It’s a bold choice, and certainly not for everyone.
"It gave me a great reassurance of how intelligent audiences are," Moore said of the response to his film debut. "People want to watch things and pick them apart and decide how it makes them feel rather than being told how to feel."
Blue Film is available to stream on Apple TV and Prime Video.
Google has some new AI tools for users to mess around with.
The company announced in a blog post on Tuesday that Nano Banana 2 Lite and Gemini Omni Flash are now available. These are a couple of new toys that live within Google's suddenly very expansive AI ecosystem, both serving a different purpose.
SEE ALSO: Google confirms death of its Nest speaker lineupFor starters, Nano Banana 2 Lite is a speedy, cost-effective image generator that Google says is designed for people who currently use the original Nano Banana model. It can apparently spit out images four seconds after text inputs, making it ideal for prototyping. According to Google, this model is now available in Google AI Studio, other developer-centric tools like Gemini API, and consumer-facing places like the Gemini app and AI Mode in Google Search.
On top of that, Gemini Omni Flash is now available in a public preview in Google AI Studio and Gemini API, as well as in the Gemini app and Google Flow. This tool is designed for video generation and editing, allowing users to use natural language, video, and text inputs to get the results they want with Omni Flash. However, there are limitations: Videos can only be 10 seconds long, and Google says character consistency in scene changes is problematic at the moment.

The U.S. has gone wild for Obsession. Writer/director Curry Barker's twisted horror movie about a wish gone wrong is not only a box office hit, but also the highest-grossing Focus Features release of all time. Audiences have screamed, critics have raved — especially over the impeccable performance of leading lady Inde Navarrette.
While the film centers on an aimless young man called Bear (Michael Johnston), it's Navarrette's cursed girl Nikki who's become the internet's obsession. When Bear wishes for his crush to love him more than anyone else, Nikki becomes a horrifically distorted version of herself, who lives only for his attention.
Today, Obsession comes to digital, and with it comes a featurette clip, in which the film's cast looks back on how Navarrette brought this harrowing portrait of being trapped by male desire to such vivid life.
SEE ALSO: Stephen King posts his 2-line review of 'Obsession'As seen above, Johnston and fellow castmates Cooper Tomlinson and Megan Lawless share what it was like to be on set as Navarrette created Nikki. For her part, the heralded actress credits Barker with helping her work on finding the physicality for Nikki and her "uncanny valley" look. And he marvels that this scream queen was new to letting loose with a good yell.
Obsession is available for now available for purchase on digital. Obsession will be released on 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack, Blu-Ray and DVD on July 14. These options include more behind-the-scenes footage and a commentary track from Barker.
After a tough 2025, the news about the U.S. labor market has been trending positive, at least for the second quarter of 2026. The number of people applying for unemployment benefits in the week ending June 20 fell by 12,000 to 215,000, the Labor Department reported recently. That number beat analyst expectations of around 225,000 new applications, according to the Associated Press.
Even with the good news, around 7.3 million are still looking for work, according to May numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For many, the hunt for work begins with polishing one's resume and cover letter — and using AI to do so.
Employers and HR directors are also using AI to screen their large piles of CVs. So, what does AI want to see on your resume and cover letter? In the second edition of our series on making AI love your resume (check out the first story here), we connected with Shaun Pichler, Ph.D., a professor at the Department of Management at the College of Business & Economics at California State University, Fullerton. Pichler, also the senior editor of the Journal of Occupational & Organizational Psychology and co-editor-in-chief of Human Resource Management, walked us through the realities of the modern job search.
Many people assume AI does the first pass on most resumes and applications. Have you found that to be true?Pichler: This really depends on the type of job and the employer. AI screening is more likely among entry-to mid-level roles as compared to, for instance, executive roles. It is also more commonly used among large employers of choice that receive high volumes of applications per vacancy. I wouldn’t say that AI does the first pass on most resumes and applications because recent survey data indicates that a little less than half of responding organizations use AI for recruiting in general. And it is common for recruiters to selectively review applications from referrals and other priority applicants without using AI whatsoever.
Does AI have a bias against AI-constructed CVs/resumes/cover letters?This is an interesting empirical question. Since LLMs tend to prefer self-generated content, there is reason to posit that AI actually has a positive bias in favor of AI-constructed resumes. While there is one conference paper that found large language models prefer resumes created by themselves, there just haven’t been enough studies done on this topic to draw any meaningful conclusions, at least not yet — but give it a couple of years.
There are many websites that claim to help job seekers optimize their CVs for AI. With AI changing and adapting so quickly, can those sites still be trusted to know what AI wants?There is very little verifiable evidence to suggest that a third-party vendor can meaningfully help a candidate optimize their resume for AI. My suggestion to job candidates is to use multiple LLMs, like ChatGPT and Claude, to help them with their resumes instead of paying money to a third-party vendor. My personal opinion is that this is a waste of money in most cases.
Any tips for people trying to retrofit their resumes for AI and make them stand out within the algorithm?Yes, but my suggestions apply whether the resume is being reviewed by AI, a human, or both, which are to mirror the language of the job posting/description, highlight important keywords, quantify one’s experience when possible, and focus on job-relevant information. The key here is tailoring the resume to the job posting, something that can take a lot of time and can be streamlined by using AI, so long as the applicant gives an LLM adequate information, such as their resume alongside a narrative of their accomplishments, as well as the job posting.
If you're planning to upgrade your computer's memory or buy a new device soon, now may be the time to do it.
That's according to tech analysts who are sounding the alarm: RAM prices are about to rise by nearly 50 percent in the coming weeks.
According to a report from Jefferies Equity Research analysts, memory chip pricing is expected to rise between 40 and 50 percent in the third quarter of 2026 — between July 1 and September 30, in other words.
SEE ALSO: Thank the AI industry for tech price increases: See the full listHoping that relief is on the horizon, in the form of increased supply to meet the demand? Alas, that doesn't seem likely anytime soon either.
Memory prices are expected to rise even further, between 30 and 40 percent more, in the fourth quarter (October through December). And it only gets worse next year; analysts project memory price hikes will continue with a year-on-year increase of 40 to 45 percent in 2027.
Memory chip manufacturers, like Samsung and Micron, have already sold a good portion of their output to companies building out AI data centers. That means fewer chips for consumers in the form of PCs, smartphones, and video game consoles. Demand from AI companies is skyrocketing, going far and beyond what the manufacturers can keep up with.
As Mashable previously reported, Micron has warned that RAM shortages could last into 2028. In February, hard drive manufacturer Western Digital shared that its "top 7 customers" had bought out all of its storage supply for the year. In addition, the company said that these companies were already buying up its supply into 2028.
As a result of AI-driven shortages, consumer products have skyrocketed in price. Apple recently raised the price of its MacBooks by as much as $500. Gaming companies have also struggled with the shortages. Microsoft recently raised Xbox gaming console prices by as much as $150.
Recent leaks suggest that Sony will either have to sell its upcoming PlayStation 6 console at a minimum of $960 or push the launch date back into 2028 or even beyond that.
In short, RAMaggedon is well and truly here.
Love Island USA has become one of the internet's biggest reality TV obsessions over the past couple of summers, and its fans are doing a lot more than watching hot twenty-somethings couple up.
The reality dating show, which airs every night except Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock, gives viewers a near-daily stream of developments to analyze, from bombshell arrivals and public votes to recouplings, shifting loyalties, and the small villa moments that can turn one Islander into a fan favorite or send another into the internet's crosshairs. Fans track, post, and debate every change in the villa like it is a sport (with better swimwear).
So maybe it was only a matter of time before someone tried to put a market around all that forecasting.
Kalshi, the prediction market platform, has been offering Love Island USA contracts this season, giving users a way to trade on outcomes connected to the show, including which couple will win, which Islanders might be eliminated next, and which couples could finish in second or third place. They have also partnered with creators to launch a breadth of TikTok and Instagram ads.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed."Because the fandom around Love Island is so popular, we knew our traders would be excited about getting in on the action," Kalshi spokesperson Laura Frank tells Mashable. "Trading on the outcome of shows like Love Island allows fans to feel like they're part of these moments."
According to Kalshi, Love Island USA markets brought in more than $20 million in trading volume across the first two weeks of the season, a major figure for an entertainment market. For comparison, the most recent Oscars race for Best Picture, one of the biggest awards-season betting events, drew about $25 million in volume. Kalshi’s Week 2 elimination market closed with $3.3 million traded, more than the $2.8 million traded on the winning couple market at the time.
The demand was not limited to an early burst of curiosity. Frank said trading has been "exceptionally popular," with total trading volume for Love Island U.S. and UK markets reaching nearly $40 million as of Monday, June 29. She said trades crossed $1 million in cumulative volume within the first week around the premieres and reached a single-day peak of nearly $3 million traded on June 11.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Currently, Kalshi's winning couple market has Trinity Tatum and Bryce Dettloff as heavy favorites, with an 80 percent chance of winning (both Melanie and Sincere and Zach and Kayda have a 33 percent chance of landing in the top three). There are also weekly elimination contracts — Amora and Kenzie were both priced around 56 and 37 percent in the Week 5 market.
Kalshi is not the only prediction market platform turning Love Island USA into something tradable. On Polymarket, users have also been able to trade on Season 8 outcomes, down to even what might be said during a specific episode (for example, the word "red flag"). A spokesperson from Polymarket declined to comment on their Love Island trading platform.

It might be loading or has been removed.Love Island is different from a traditional awards show or sporting event, though, because fans are not only watching from the outside. Sometimes, they shape what happens next.
Often, the producers prompt fans to vote for their favorite (or least favorite) cast members on the Love Island app, and each time, the fandom certainly mobilizes: The Love Island USA app crashed during both a June 9 and June 16 vote and later climbed to the top of the App Store.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.When asked about the ethics and integrity of markets where users can influence outcomes through public voting, Frank says, "We draw a hard line against insider trading — it's prohibited on Kalshi."
She also says it has safeguards in place to detect suspicious activity on its platform. Kalshi uses Know Your Customer checks for everyone who trades on the platform, which Frank describes as "very similar (and more extensive) than signing up for a bank."
"When people trade, we use advanced AI surveillance technology that tracks for any irregular trading and investigates suspicious trading activity," Frank adds. "We go beyond looking at individual households and look at people’s social connections as well."
Prediction markets are expanding just as sports betting has become a massive part of American digital life. Americans legally wagered nearly $167 billion on sports in 2025, according to the American Gaming Association, and online betting has transformed how many fans experience games. Some states — like Illinois, Nevada, and most recently Michigan (as of June 29) — have placed bans or taxes on prediction markets as state governments debate whether to classify them as financial exchanges, gambling platforms, or something in between.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.The sports gambling world has been built, for the most part, around men. Men are nearly twice as likely as women to report gambling-related problems, and sports betting has become one of the clearest examples of how quickly gambling products can move from occasional entertainment to an everyday phone habit.
So when prediction market companies start using pop culture, influencers, and reality TV to reach more women, it raises a question: Is this just another way for fans to engage with the shows they love, or is it opening a new pathway to betting addiction for an untapped market?
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.According to Frank, there are "3x more female traders" in Love Island markets compared with other Kalshi markets, and "2/3 of new Love Island traders are women."
Kalshi and Polymarket have both experimented with pop-culture contracts and social media strategies that look different from a sportsbook ad during a football game, setting wagers on — for example — Taylor Swift's wedding venue, Dancing with the Stars cast members, or the Bachelor drama.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.It doesn't mean every fan trading on these outcomes is treating Kalshi and Polymarket like a sportsbook. Prediction markets differ from betting platforms; their contracts are described as "event-based trading," where users buy and sell positions against each other rather than placing bets against the house. In that framing, a Love Island contract is less like a traditional sportsbook wager and more like a stock price fluctuating around a future event.
But for users, the actual experience can still feel familiar, potentially hooking a new prediction-market audience one recoupling at a time.

Timothée Chalamet has caught the sci-fi bug. Following the release of Dune: Part Three, the Oscar nominee will remain in the realm of space and aliens with Illumination's upcoming Not Alone.
SEE ALSO: 'Werwulf' trailer: Robert Eggers and Aaron Taylor-Johnson unleash the beast withinThe film, out in April of 2027, marks Chalamet's animation debut. He stars alongside Selena Gomez, herself no stranger to animation thanks to roles in the Hotel Transylvania movies. The pair voice Joe and Fran, employees at Space Burst, a company working on a revolutionary rocket launch.
Not Alone's first teaser trailer highlights the budding romance between the two, complete with flirting, blushing, and the promise of a dinner date. However, Joe and Fran's love story gets derailed when Space Burst's rocket collides with an unknown object and begins hurtling back to Earth — and it's bringing aliens with it.
Up until this point, Not Alone's teaser is quietly sweet, with even a hint of melancholy at the threat of the rocket colliding with Earth. With the aliens' introduction, though, the trailer reminds us that this is an Illumination movie. And Illumination loves nothing more than its weird little guys. (See: the entire Minions franchise.)
Not Alone's weird little guys are a crew of Gumby-looking aliens. Unlike the Minions, they speak English — and they're all voiced by UK comedy royalty. Named Dunk (voiced by Rob Brydon), Welly (voiced by Diane Morgan), and Shirm (voiced by Jamie Demetriou), this alien trio is on the run from their home planet's zealous Officer Zandro (voiced by Brett Goldstein). They wind up hiding out in Joe's home. Will their presence help or hinder his chances with Fran? And how will this first contact end up impacting the rest of Earth?
Not Alone hits theaters in April of 2027.

Meccha Chameleon has become one of the breakout indie hits of the summer, racking up over 10 million copies sold since launching on Steam earlier this month, according to the developer lemorion_1224.
The newest and hottest friendslop game on the block sees players tackle a hide-and-seek party game that tasks "Hiders" with painting their bodies to blend into colorful stage backgrounds while "Seekers" race to find them before time runs out — a simple premise that's proven to be a hit for friend groups looking for chaotic multiplayer fun.
Meccha Chameleon is currently only available on PC via Steam. There is no confirmed release on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, or mobile devices.
Is Meccha Chameleon on Xbox?No. Meccha Chameleon is not available on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One, and it is not part of Xbox Game Pass. No release date or porting plans have been announced.
Is Meccha Chameleon on mobile (iOS/Android)?No. There is currently no mobile version of Meccha Chameleon, and no announcement has been made regarding a future release on iOS or Android.
Nvidia has reintroduced some old hardware to the market, but not at an especially agreeable price.
Tom's Hardware reported that Nvidia has quietly begun restocking the RTX 3060 graphics card series at some online retailers, such as Newegg. The 12GB card first launched in 2021 but had been off the shelves for some time as the company shifted its priorities to the newer 50-series cards. The only problem? This five-year-old card costs $339.99, which is not much less than a newer, more powerful RTX 5060.
SEE ALSO: Nvidia's RTX Spark is big news, but it's not for everyoneThis is obviously meant to reduce the strain on the GPU market a bit by offering a PC component that, while not capable of supporting all the latest technical bells and whistles, would still be plenty good for playing most PC video games. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the company would consider doing this back at CES earlier this year, and it has apparently made good on that promise. It just hasn't done so in a way that will save gamers very much money.
That is, unfortunately, just how things will go for the foreseeable future, as we suffer the consequences of RAMageddon.
Serena Williams is back at Wimbledon, which is not exactly a normal sentence to read in 2026.
The seven-time Wimbledon singles champion returns to Centre Court on Tuesday, June 30, for her first professional singles match since the 2022 U.S. Open. Williams, 44, will face 20-year-old Australian Maya Joint in the first round, marking one of the biggest early moments of this year’s tournament before she has even played a point.
Williams last played a Wimbledon singles match in 2022, when she lost in the first round to Harmony Tan. A few months later, she stepped away from tennis after the U.S. Open, describing the move as “evolving” away from the sport rather than retiring in the traditional sense.
Now, after easing back into competition through doubles earlier this month, she is returning to the singles draw at the All England Club. And this time, she has made it clear that the goal is not to recreate the pressure of her prime.
“As of now, I’m not nervous,” Williams said ahead of the match, adding that her expectation is to stay calm, take it easy, and have fun.
Read below for how to watch, match timing, and what to know about Williams’ Wimbledon return.
Where to watch Serena Williams at WimbledonSerena Williams’ first-round match against Maya Joint is airing on ESPN in the United States.
Viewers can also stream Wimbledon coverage through the ESPN app, with individual court streams available through ESPN Unlimited. ESPN coverage is also available through select live TV streaming services that carry the network.
Outside the U.S., Wimbledon coverage varies by country. In the U.K., matches are available across the BBC, including BBC One, BBC Two, BBC iPlayer, and BBC Sport. International viewers can check Wimbledon’s official TV coverage guide for the broadcaster in their region.
What time does Serena Williams play at Wimbledon?Williams is scheduled to play Maya Joint on Tuesday, June 30, as the third match on Centre Court.
Centre Court play begins at 8:30 a.m. ET with Taylor Townsend vs. Iga Świątek, followed by Alexander Blockx vs. Alexander Zverev. Williams vs. Joint will begin after those two matches are finished, so the exact start time depends on how long the earlier matches run.
As of now, the match is expected around midday ET, but Wimbledon scheduling can shift quickly.
Who is Serena Williams playing?Williams will face Maya Joint, a 20-year-old Australian player who turned pro in 2021.
Joint is part of the younger generation that grew up watching Williams dominate tennis, which adds an obvious layer to the matchup. For Williams, it is a return to a court where she has made history. For Joint, it is a first-round match that suddenly became one of the most-watched of the tournament. No pressure.
When was Serena Williams’ last singles match?Williams’ last professional singles match came at the 2022 U.S. Open, where she lost to Ajla Tomljanović in the third round.
Her last Wimbledon singles match came earlier that same year, when she lost to Harmony Tan in the first round. Since then, Williams has had a second child, expanded her business life, and largely moved into a post-tennis chapter before this comeback.
How many times has Serena Williams won Wimbledon?Williams has won seven Wimbledon singles titles, with victories in 2002, 2003, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2015, and 2016.
She has also won six Wimbledon women’s doubles titles with her sister Venus Williams. The sisters are expected to reunite in doubles at Wimbledon later this week.
