He joined Collider as a News Author in April 2024, was promoted to a Senior position in December 2024, and has written over 3,000 articles for the site, including exclusives relating to Avengers: Doomsday, The Penguin, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, and more. He primarily writes about the latest box office numbers and the hottest movies and TV shows on streaming, while also covering superhero and sci-fi news.

You can find him on X, LinkedIn, and Muckrack. 2026 has brought on the return of several beloved TV shows, but few have had as much anticipation behind them as the long-awaited fourth season of Ted Lasso. Apple TV last pushed out an episode of Ted Lasso in 2023, and it was thought at the time that once the show reached the end of Season 3, it was going off the air for good. Ted’s arc reached a natural conclusion with him going back home to spend more time with his family, and the team was in good hands with coach Roy Kent. However, it didn’t take whispers long to come out that a fourth season was in the works, and Apple TV confirmed this news last year before bringing back Ted Lasso for Season 4 just a few months ago. While it’s Jason Sudeikis who consistently steals the show with his Emmy-winning performance as Ted Lasso, one of the show’s brightest stars is Hannah Waddingham, who plays Rebecca Welton. Waddingham also recently appeared in the final Mission: Impossible movie opposite Tom Cruise, and she has another sleeper hit from this year that’s quietly becoming one of the most popular projects in the world on Prime Video. Back in July, Waddingham teamed up with Octavia Spencer and Ed Skrein for the hit action-adventure comedy series, Ride or Die, which dropped all eight episodes as a binge on July 15. Now over two months removed from the official premiere of Ride or Die, the show is still performing well as one of Prime Video’s brightest shows — it’s now been in the global top 10 for more than 60 days, an elite milestone that only a select few shows and movies attain. COLLIDER Collider · Quiz Collider Exclusive · Universe Personality QuizWhich Iconic Universe Do You Belong in the Most?Star Wars · Lord of the Rings · Harry Potter · Game of Thrones · Star Trek Five legendary universes. Five completely different visions of what the world could be — or already was. One of them is the world your instincts, your values, and your particular way of existing were built for. Eight questions will tell you which one. 🚀Star Wars 💍Lord of the Rings 🧙Harry Potter 👑Game of Thrones 🖖Star Trek QUESTION 1 / 8PURPOSE 01 What gives your life its deepest sense of meaning?Every universe is built around a different answer to this question. QUESTION 2 / 8WORLD 02 Which kind of world do you most want to inhabit?The environment shapes who you become. Choose carefully. QUESTION 3 / 8CONFLICT 03 How do you prefer your conflicts resolved?The shape of a world's conflicts tells you everything about its soul. QUESTION 4 / 8COMPANIONS 04 Who do you want beside you when things get difficult?Your ideal companions reveal the world you were made for. QUESTION 5 / 8POWER 05 What is your relationship with power?How you seek, wield, or resist power is the map of who you are. QUESTION 6 / 8MORALITY 06 How does your universe treat good and evil?A world's moral architecture tells you more about it than any map. QUESTION 7 / 8ROLE 07 What role would you naturally fall into?Every universe has archetypes. Which one fits you without trying? QUESTION 8 / 8HOPE 08 What do you ultimately believe about the future?The answer to this is the clearest window into which universe already lives inside you. Your Universe Has Been ChosenYou Belong In… Your answers point to the iconic universe your values, your instincts, and your particular way of seeing the world were built for. This is where you would find your people — and your purpose. A Galaxy Far, Far Away Star Wars You believe in the cause — in the idea that freedom is worth fighting for even when the odds are impossible and the empire is vast. You are drawn to the moral clarity of a universe where hope itself is a form of resistance. You'd find your people in the Rebellion — a ragtag coalition of true believers held together by conviction more than resources. Star Wars is fundamentally a story about ordinary people choosing to matter in an extraordinary conflict — and that is exactly your kind of story. The Force may or may not be with you. But the will to use it for something larger than yourself certainly is. Middle-earth Lord of the Rings You understand, in the deepest part of yourself, that the journey matters as much as the destination — and that the world's beauty is worth protecting even at great cost. Middle-earth is a world of ancient wonder, deep friendship, and a darkness that only retreats when enough small acts of courage accumulate. You would thrive here because you value the fellowship more than the glory — the road more than the arrival. Tolkien's universe rewards patience, loyalty, and the willingness to carry something heavy across a very long distance. Those are not burdens to you. They are simply how you move through the world. The Wizarding World Harry Potter You believe that love, loyalty, and doing what's right are not naive sentiments — they are the most powerful forces in any world, magical or otherwise. The Wizarding World is a place of wonder hidden in plain sight, where learning is transformative and the bonds you form at school follow you into every battle. You would flourish here because you take both the magic and the friendships seriously — and you understand that one without the other is incomplete. Harry Potter's universe ultimately rewards those who choose to stand for something even when standing is terrifying. That choice — made quietly, without guarantee — is something you understand completely. Westeros · The Known World Game of Thrones You see the world clearly — its power structures, its hypocrisies, its brutal arithmetic — and you are not paralysed by that clarity. You use it. Westeros is a world that rewards intelligence, adaptability, and the willingness to understand that every alliance is also a negotiation. You would survive here — possibly thrive here — because you don't confuse the world as it is with the world as you'd like it to be. Game of Thrones is a story about what happens when the idealists and the realists collide. You are sharp enough to know which one lasts longer. Winter always comes. You are already prepared. The United Federation of Planets Star Trek You believe the future is worth building — that curiosity, cooperation, and the expansion of understanding are not just ideals but the most practical path forward for any civilisation. Star Trek is a universe where the questions matter as much as the answers, and where encountering something utterly alien is cause for wonder rather than fear. You would belong here because you are fundamentally optimistic about what intelligence and decency can achieve — while being honest about how hard that achievement is. The Federation is the universe's most ambitious thought experiment: what if we actually got better? You don't just hope that's possible. You think it's the only thing worth working toward. What Is ‘Ride or Die’ About? The official synopsis for Prime Video’s Ride or Die, which holds scores of 96% from critics and 84% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, reads as follows: “Ride or Die follows best friends Debbie Claybourne and Judith Burton who thought they knew everything about each other, except Judith turns out to be an international assassin. When a mysterious figure emerges from Judith’s past and a hit goes horribly wrong, both of their worlds are turned upside down as they’re forced to go on the run together. It’s a race against time and a road trip across Europe, with law enforcement, highly trained assassins, and some very dangerous criminals at their heels.” Tessa Coates made her feature writing debut as the lead showrunner on Ride or Die, and after the show’s colossal success, she’s expected to be back with more opportunities in the future. Check out all episodes of Ride or Die on Prime Video and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Hannah Waddingham’s future projects.
