6 Albums Out Today to Listen To: Joyce Manor, Softcult, The Soft Pink Truth, and More

In this segment, we showcase the most notable albums out each week. Here are the albums out on January 30, 2026:

Joyce Manor, I Used to Go to This Bar

Joyce Manor - I Used To Go To This Bar _ Album Art.One of the most consistent bands in pop-punk, Joyce Manor have found ways to refine their sound while going out on a limb on at least a couple of songs on every album, and their latest is no exception. “Regular depression,” as Barry Johnson once put it in describing their self-titled album, has hardly lost its regularity and fans can all rally around it no matter the musical style it’s presented. But two decades is enough hindsight to say what it really used to be like, and no matter how dark, the comforting thing about I Used to Go to This Bar is the sense that Joyce Manor could be doing the same in as many years from now. Read the full review.

Softcult, When a Flower Doesn’t Grow 

when a flower doesn't grow.Self-produced and self-recorded, Softcult’s debut album journeys through self-transformation, presenting songs of radicalization and resilience that twist from riotous to gauzy, fuzzy and ethereal. When a Flower Doesn’t Grow follows Mercedes and Phoenix Arn-Horn’s 2024 EP Heaven. “I had internalised so much oppression, abuse, sexism, misogyny, and shame, while still preaching empowerment in my lyrics,” Mercedes said in press materials. “The person I portrayed myself to be on stage was not the same person making the decisions that governed my life. I was rootbound. I was disappearing, shrinking, withering away.”

The Soft Pink Truth, Can Such Delightful Times Go on Forever?

Can Such Delightful Times Go On ForeverrEvery the Soft Pink Truth album title is a question that also serves as a creative prompt for Drew Daniel. Can Such Delightful Times Go on Forever? is taken from a passage in Stendhal’s psychological novel The Red and the Black, translated by Roger Gard as such: “One evening at sunset, seated by his lover’s side in the depths of an orchard and far from any interruptions, he was sunk deep in reverie. Can such delightful times go on forever? he wondered.” You may not find yourself in these precise circumstances as you press play on Daniel’s latest effort, but it certainly sinks you into that tracelike state. A lush glimpse into the world of concert halls, it’s labyrinthine without ever sounding anything less than playful.

Geologist, Can I Get a Pack of Camel Lights?

Geologist, Can I Get a Pack of Camel Lights.The title of Animal Collective member Geogolist’s debut solo album may not sound as philosophical as the Soft Pink Truth’s latest, but there’s something in it about the mysterious, refractive nature of time. Brian Weitz said “the title of the album once a day for probably four thousand days in a row, at least,” according to press materials. “Now it’s been over five thousand days since he stopped saying it.” Inspired by a hurdy-gurdy performance he saw Keiji Haino deliver 28 years ago, the instrumental record transmutes and expands its traditional sounds in satisfying ways, aided by drummers Emma Garau, Alianna Kalaba (FACS, Cat Power) and Ryan Oslance (The Dead Tongues, Indigo De Souza), Sham’s Shane McCord on clarinets, and Mikey Powers on cello. His AnCo bandmate Avey Tare and son Merrick Weitz also contribute.

By Storm, My Ghosts Go Ghost

By Storm, My Ghosts Go GhostBy Storm – the duo of former trio Injury Reserve’s RiTchie and Parker Corey – have released their meditative, mournful, and disarming debut album as By Storm, My Ghosts Go Ghost. “This past decade we built our identity and every record has been us figuring out more about the kind of band we want to be,” RiTchie said in a press release. “That doesn’t change.” The record features a guest appearance from Armand Hammer’s billy woods on ‘Best Interest’.

Lande Hekt, Lucky Now 

Lande Hekt, Lucky Now Lande Hekt is back with a new solo album, Lucky Now. Following her 2021 debut full-length Going to Hell and 2022’s House Without a View, the album was written and recorded with producer Matthew Simms (Wire, It Hugs Back). “I’m not as concerned about how I’m presenting myself,” Hekt said in press materials. “I’ve tried to think less about how things are coming across, and just write songs that make me feel connected to myself and what I value.” Lucky Now‘s heightened maturity certainly doesn’t come at the expense of exceedingly pretty, vibrant tunes. “I wanted to try and push for something slightly more positive, which I’m trying to do more of generally — just to not fall apart,” Hekt added.

Halo: Campaign Evolved: Release Date, Platforms Story, Gameplay, Trailers and More

After more than two decades, Halo’s original campaign is getting a proper do-over. Xbox’s upcoming Halo: Campaign Evolved is bringing 2001’s classic Combat Evolved story back with modern visuals, updated controls, expanded co-op support, and yes, it is finally coming to PlayStation. Built on Unreal Engine 5, Campaign Evolved faithfully recreates Halo’s first story, featuring every original mission (as well as three new prequel missions), new cinematics, faster movement, and more responsive combat.

The remake promises to stay true to what made Combat Evolved special while ironing out rough edges, like better mission progression, more precise gunplay and expanded co-op options. With its 2026 launch on the horizon, here’s everything you need to know about Halo: Campaign Evolved, including its release date, platforms, story, and more.

Halo: Campaign Evolved: Release date and Platforms

Xbox hasn’t shared an exact release date for Halo: Campaign Evolved, but the game is confirmed to launch sometime in 2026. Given that Halo will turn 25 on November 15, there’s a good chance the launch lines up around that time.

As for platforms, Halo: Campaign Evolved is set for a wide release across Xbox Series X and Series S, Xbox on PC, Steam, and PlayStation 5. The game will also support Xbox Cloud Gaming and Xbox Play Anywhere, allowing progress to carry over between console and PC. Halo: Campaign Evolved is slated to launch day one on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.

What Will The Story of Halo: Campaign Evolved Be About?

Halo: Campaign Evolved takes the series back to where it all began, retelling the story of Halo: Combat Evolved with a modern presentation and a few meaningful additions along the way. Rebuilt from the ground up, the game revisits the campaign that introduced Master Chief, Cortana, and the mysterious Halo ring, while updating the experience to feel smoother, sharper, and more in line with modern standards.

The story once again follows Master Chief after the UNSC Pillar of Autumn crash-lands on Installation 04. Stranded after the Pillar of Autumn’s crash, Chief and Cortana start out just trying to regroup before uncovering the Halo ring’s true purpose and the threat it poses to the entire galaxy.

The studio has also expanded the narrative with three new prequel missions starring Master Chief and Sergeant Johnson. Set before the events of Combat Evolved, these missions explore the lead-up to humanity’s first encounter with the Halo ring, adding new locations, enemies, and context that were not part of the original release. The goal, as the studio describes it, is to honour the original while modernizing the experience.

For Halo Studios community director Brian “ske7ch” Jarrard, the project is as much about legacy as it is about technology. “For nearly 25 years, Halo has offered players an epic sci-fi universe to explore, unforgettable characters to meet, and exhilarating gameplay to experience together. From large-scale battles to friendships formed over late-night co-op sessions, Halo has always been more than just a game – it’s about the players who’ve made it part of their lives,” Jarrard said in a PlayStation Blog.

Halo: Campaign Evolved: Gameplay

Halo: Campaign Evolved’s gameplay uses the same core design as Halo: Combat Evolved, but it has been updated to play better by modern standards. The basic sandbox is still clearly Halo, with large, open-ended combat zones, a mix of infantry and vehicle encounters, and a strong emphasis on movement, positioning, and weapon choice. The major difference is that everything feels much smoother and easier to track this time around.

Movement is more responsive, aiming feels cleaner, and encounters are easier to keep track of, all while preserving the original campaign’s scale and pace. Halo: Campaign Evolved’s combat has been expanded with nine additional weapons from later Halo games, including the Energy Sword and Battle Rifle.

Vehicles continue to play a major role throughout the campaign, and for the first time in Halo: Combat Evolved, players can hijack enemy vehicles and even pilot the Covenant Wraith tank. These additions will give familiar missions a slightly different tempo and open up new ways to deal with challenging encounters.

If you remember how the original missions played, you’ll feel right at home here. Levels have been rebuilt with clearer navigation, improved pacing, and more varied enemy encounters. The Library, in particular, has received extra attention, with better wayfinding and additional dialogue from Guilty Spark to help guide players through the level without changing its story.

There’s also more room to customise how you play. Campaign Evolved features the largest collection of Skulls ever included in a Halo campaign. These optional modifiers will let you adjust difficulty, change combat rules, or add playful twists, adding replay value once the main story is complete.

Moreover, co-op remains a big part of the experience. The full campaign now supports four-player online co-op with cross-play across platforms, as well as two-player local split screen. Missions and encounters have been adjusted to scale properly with more players and all of this will run on Unreal Engine 5, layered over systems carried forward from the original Halo games.

Is There A Trailer for Halo: Campaign Evolved?

Yes, Xbox has already shared several trailers and extended gameplay videos for Halo: Campaign Evolved, offering an early look at how the remake is shaping up. The best look so far is a full work-in-progress playthrough of The Silent Cartographer, which was shown during the Halo World Championship 2025. Captured from a pre-release build running on Xbox Series X, the demo walks through the entire mission, highlighting the updated visuals, smoother movement, and refined combat flow.

Xbox has also released a seven-minute developer roundtable featuring members of the Halo Studios team. In the video, the developers discuss the overall vision behind Campaign Evolved, explain why the original campaign was chosen as the foundation, and outline several new gameplay enhancements and quality-of-life improvements.

Are There Any Other Games Like Halo: Campaign Evolved?

If Halo: Campaign Evolved has put you back in the mood for some intense, single-player FPS games, we’d recommend checking out Crysis 2 and Crysis 3, bringing together Halo-style open combat zones with a more grounded, modern military edge. Titanfall 2 is another great pick, featuring a campaign that feels like a faster, more movement-driven spin on Halo’s formula.

On the more traditional campaign side, Wolfenstein: The New Order, 2016’s DOOM and 2020’s DOOM Eternal are also solid picks. And if you’re open to a slightly older title, EA’s Battlefield 1 still holds up pretty well.

Six Fine Line Tattoo Artists for Your Inspiration Board

Planning your next minimalist tattoo for 2026? Here are six artists working across the globe, each bringing something distinct to fine line work: playful charm, marine elegance, geometric storytelling and more.

Travis Sallaway

Based in Sydney, tattoo artist Travis Sallaway demonstrates remarkable versatility in fine line work. His portfolio spans bold, high-contrast mermaids and intricate cybersigilism patterns alongside extraordinarily delicate renderings of oysters and natural forms. Whether working with graphic intensity or whisper-thin lines, Sallaway adapts his technique to suit each design’s needs.

Aria Ink Art

Aria’s astonishingly fine depictions of florals, insects and celestial imagery feel buoyant and endearing. Based in Amsterdam, she’s naturally mastered the city’s signature motifs: you’ll find tulips and bicycles threaded throughout her body of work, rendered with the same graceful precision she brings to crescent moons and butterflies.

Lauren Beck

London-based Lauren Beck specialises in elegant botanical work and minimalist abstract designs, though she’s also comfortable scaling up for larger pieces. Working primarily with single needle technique, she produces tattoos that prioritise elegant simplicity.

Amy Lowdon

Few tattoo artists capture enchantment like Amy Lowdon, based in Brighton. Her fine line work specialises in designs that feel genuinely heartwarming: little stars holding hands, floating fairies and whimsical characters that seem plucked from a dream.

Pauline

Vancouver-based Pauline works with slightly bolder, more pronounced lines while maintaining the elegance and precision that defines exceptional fine line work. Her standout pieces feature marine life, including whales, orcas and salmon.

Yeeki Lo

Currently based in Tokyo, Yeeki Lo creates delicate tattoos that demand contemplation. Her designs weave together geometric patterns with beautifully rendered animals, often punctuated by delicate sparkles or celestial details. These are visual narratives that reward close looking.

Thundercat Announces New Album ‘Distracted’, Enlists Lil Yachty for New Song

Thundercat has announced a new album. Distracted, his first LP in six years, will be out on April 3 via Brainfeeder Records. Today’s announcement comes with the release of ‘I Did This to Myself’, which features Lil Yachty and certainly does a lot to its fine groove. Check it out below.

The It Is What It Is follow-up finds Thundercut teaming up with Greg Kurstin, and it includes additional production from Kenny Beats, Flying Lotus, and the Lemon Twigs. In addition to Lil Yachty, it boasts guest spots from A$AP Rocky (who enlisted Thundercat for his latest album Don’t Be Dumb), Tame Impala, Channel Tres, and Willow, as well as an unreleased collab with Mac Miller.

“I don’t think the heartbreak ever stopped,” Thundercat said in a press release. “If it ain’t a girl, it’s taxes. If it ain’t taxes, it’s World War III. If it ain’t World War III, it’s a new update to the phone.”

Album Review: Joyce Manor, ‘I Used to Go to This Bar’

Album Review: Joyce Manor, ‘I Used to Go to This Bar’

Joyce Manor have never quite made a song like ‘All My Friends Are So Depressed’. You still may have seen it quoted on your Tumblr feed a decade and a half ago, but probably wouldn’t identify its riff as coming from the group that Bad Religion legend, Epitaph head, and I Used to Go to This Bar producer Brett Gurewitz describes not just as “a quintessential South Bay punk band,” but one of the most important bands of the last twenty years. The trio and their rotating cast of drummers have found ways to refine their sound while going out on a limb on at least a couple of songs on every album, and their latest is no exception. “Regular depression,” as Barry Johnson once put it in describing their self-titled album, has hardly lost its regularity and fans can all rally around it no matter the musical style it’s presented. But two decades is enough hindsight to say what it really used to be like, and no matter how dark, the comforting thing about this album is the sense that Joyce Manor could be doing the same in as many years from now – including a song or two that sound unlike any of it. 

1. I Know Where Mark Chen Lives

Nodding to Summer Vacation/Winter Break singer-songwriter Mark Chen as well as Television Personalities’ ‘I Know Where Syd Barrett Lives’, the song feels instantly like a blast from the past, at once ambivalent and anthemic. Throwing it back to a time when weed was not fully legal, the scene Barry Johnson paints is frightful yet humorous in its gnarliness, and the song all the punchier for it.  

2. Falling Into It

Apparently inspired by his love for Vampire Weekend’s latest album, Only God Was Above Us – and as any fan would be quick to presume, Weezer’s ‘Falling for You’ – Johnson naturally begins by singing ‘Falling Into It’ with the wistfulness of someone conditioned to predict the fallout. But as an odd, squeaky synth is swallowed up by a mountain of distortion, the song’s explosive final chorus doubles as a defiant outro. 

3. All My Friends Are So Depressed

“Got it wrong, can’t move on/ Been awake for far too long/ 3pm, can’t get dressed,” Johnson sings on the catchiest song on the album, the kind you’ll find yourself singing over and over before finally getting up and covering it for the regulars at your local open mic. Joyce Manor are no strangers to experimentation, and the jangliness of ‘All My Friends Are So Depressed’ is a fresh look that wears its Smiths (Johnson would actually say Morrissey) influence on its sleeve. It captures the brand of self-deprecation that will have you pointing fingers at everyone else while being the obvious culprit. 

4. Well, Whatever It Was 

Dating back to Johnson’s earliest attempts at songwriting, ‘Well, Whatever It Was’ is less deflective: you’re clearly the one “slowly going insane.” Slowly is the key word here, as the song cools down the album’s pace, though not without the playful riffing that backs up Johnson ‘s claim that it would “go insanely hard in a Shrek film.” Frustration may be mounting, but the worst day so far is always ahead of you.

5. I Used to Go to This Bar

In terms of shooting for nostalgia, ‘I Used to Go to This Bar’ is a direct hit. But the album’s pensive undercurrent pervades; Johnson insists there was nothing special about the place, but his off-handedness underscores the grim realities of the past, the darkness he could lightly scoff at previously but less so now. The title track is necessarily hooky but cuts the singer’s breath short, the sting of old memories preventing it from becoming a full-force anthem. 

6. After All You Put Me Through

The band’s versatility expands to bouncy new wave on ‘After All You Put Me Through’, which more importantly furthers the album’s emotional progression: “I’m through/ Feeling blue/ And it’s all because of you,” Johnson sings, later reduntantly (but rather funnily) adding “It’s tough/ Feeling rough” over wafting keys. The juxtaposition between the arrangement and his singing initially seems like the point, until it comes to a satisfying resolution.

7. The Oppossum

Another jangly song, this time steered in more of a punk direction, mirroring the contrast between Johnson’s mature vocals and the nostalgically juvenile subject matter of his lyrics. It’s a strong outlier on the record and a good reminder to Google “oppossum.” There, I’ve just made your day better.

8. Well, Don’t It Seem Like You’ve Been Here Before?

It seems like Joyce Manor have started a tradition of beginning at least two album track titles with the word “Well.” Or maybe it should grow exponentially? Well, whatever it is, the delightfully ironic thing about ‘Well, Don’t It Seem Like You’ve Been Here Before?’ is that it I don’t think they’ve ever added a harmonica to a song before, which makes it step in like sunshine here. 

9. Grey Gray

We’ve certainly heard Johnson in this mode before, but his shaky, thunderous performance almost throws you off guard as it closes I Used to Go To This Bar. The rhythm section’s got muscle, the main riff is somewhere between glorious and mournful. “Let’s not confuse the issue,” the chorus begins, catching the song in its own bemusement and downright horror. The album mostly comes from the vantage point of being privileged enough to say terrible things used to happen, but ending with ‘Grey Guitar’ reminds us it’s not until the present becomes the past that the dark parts even reveal themselves. That stuff lingers, but Joyce Manor’s latest is proof that reminiscing can mean the opposite of going back.

Jessie Ware Announces New Album ‘Superbloom’

Jessie Ware has announced her new album, Superbloom. The follow-up to 2023’s That! Feels Good! arrives on April 10 via Island EMI. It features the previously released single ‘I Could Get Used To This’, and you can check out its album cover and tracklist below.

“Since What’s Your Pleasure? I’ve been trying out this fantasy world and escapism,” Ware said in a press statement. “I’m not the most by-the-book ‘pop star’, but I do like to play with dress-up, glamour, and fun. While I love dance music, I wanted to dig deeper with this record; to connect with real relationships and appreciate the love I have, and the fears I have of losing it.”

Single’s Inferno Season 6: Cast, Rumours & Release Date

The Netflix hit reality show Single’s Inferno is back with season 5, following a fresh group of flirty contestants looking for love after they’re dropped on a deserted island. With that kind of audacious premise, there’s no wonder the show is a hit.

The reality series gathered 4.6 million views during the last week and made the Top 10 in 32 countries. It’s one of the most-watched non-English shows on Netflix right now, so it’s safe to assume that it will keep going, right?

Single’s Inferno Season 6 Release Date

At the time of writing, Netflix hasn’t announced any plans for a potential Single’s Inferno season 6. That said, viewership numbers are strong, so a renewal might be just around the corner. As long as that’s the case, new episodes could arrive in early 2027.

According to the show’s creator, the original plan was to make it to season 10. “I’m currently editing this season, and I think Season 20 might be possible. That’s how I feel in the editing room,” he told a Korean outlet when discussing season 5.

Single’s Inferno Season 6 Cast

Since there’s no official news about the future just yet, we don’t know anything about the cast. If season 6 becomes a reality, we’ll find out closer to the premiere date.

Hosts KYUHYUN, Hong Jin-kyung, Lee Da-hee, HANHAE, and season 2 contestant Dex returned for season 5.

What Is Single’s Inferno About?

The South Korean dating show follows a group of singles stranded on a remote island known as “Inferno.” Cut off from the outside world, the contestants must survive together while forming romantic connections.

The catch? They can only leave Inferno and enjoy luxury dates in “Paradise” if they successfully match with someone.

As expected, flirtation and jealousy build over the course of the season. Expect plenty of emotional tension as participants navigate love and compete under constant observation. It’s the kind of slow-burn social experiment you can’t look away from.

Single’s Inferno season 6 would likely follow the same format, introducing a new group of contestants to root for. Until then, season 5 episodes arrive weekly on Netflix, with the final ones dropping on February 10.

Are There Other Shows Like Single’s Inferno?

If you enjoy Single’s Inferno, we recommend checking out some of the other dating series streaming on Netflix. The list includes Badly in Love, Love Is Blind, Better Late Than Single, and Perfect Match.

Seven Wildlife Photographers to Watch in 2026

Seven Wildlife Photographers to Watch in 2026

With the climate crisis accelerating, wild animals are facing unprecedented threats to their survival as food sources disappear and migration patterns shift. Recent research suggests that more than 3,500 animal species are already threatened by climate change, and this number is only expected to climb as global temperatures rise.

At a time when the natural world is under such pressure, we are in urgent need of art and photography that captures the beauty of wildlife and communicates its fragility and vitality. Compelling visual storytelling can awaken empathy, educate broad audiences and catalyse conservation. Thankfully, there is no shortage of brilliant wildlife photographers whose work elevates awareness. Here are seven wildlife photographers whose work is bound to impress this year:

Kayla Wildlife

Advocating against AI in art, Kayla Wildlife’s photography centres care and presence amid an increasingly synthetic visual landscape. Her images often place animals traditionally viewed as rough or dangerous, from bears to oxen, in a wonderfully soft and tender light.

Kyle Goetsch 

Kyle Goetsch’s photography moves fluidly between sweeping, magical scenes of the natural world and intimate portraits that capture the quirky personalities of its inhabitants. From bee-eaters mid-motion to watchful meerkats, his images feel playful and expressive without losing their reverence for nature.

Jill Taylor 

Jill Taylor’s specialty is puffins, with a focus on bringing these charismatic but vulnerable birds into vivid visual storytelling. The researcher, science communicator and underwater videographer based in Newfoundland blends field science with engaging imagery and film to demonstrate the behaviours and environments of Atlantic puffins and other coastal wildlife.

Swahili Traveler

Sharing her work as Swahili Traveler on Instagram, Lilian is a wildlife photographer and filmmaker based in East Africa who focuses on nature and conservation storytelling. Her feed blends memorable moments of wild animals with striking character and intensity, from a zebra baring its teeth to visceral shots of big cats.

Michel d’Oultremont 

Belgian wildlife photographer Michel d’Oultremont is known for his alluring images of wild animals, especially birds, created with a skilled eye for light and form. His work stands out with pronounced silhouettes and intense framing to lend his subjects visual edge. Many of his shots focus so tightly on a single eye or expression that they seem to reveal a world of feeling within a single frame.

Varun Aditya

A leading wildlife photographer from India, Varun Aditya has earned global acclaim for his evocative nature images, including winning first place in the National Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year in 2016. His work spans intimate animal portraits and expansive natural scenes, marked by a distinct understanding of composition.

Karine Aigner

After spending nearly a decade shaping imagery at National Geographic, Aigner turned her full focus to photographing the natural world herself. In 2022, she became the fifth woman ever to win the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year award, pointing to her exceptional patience and dedication to the craft.

Finding Her Edge Season 2: Cast, Rumours & Release Date

Netflix seems to have hit the jackpot with Finding Her Edge, a romance/sports drama almost guaranteed to warm up your gloomy January evenings. With 5.5 million views during the last week, the Canadian production is currently the fourth most-watched show on the platform.

Not only that, but it made the charts in 76 countries, proving that viewers are still drawn to messy love triangles. Does that mean we should expect a follow-up soon?

Finding Her Edge Season 2 Release Date

At the time of writing, Netflix hasn’t renewed the show for more episodes. Thankfully, there’s still time.

Viewership numbers are solid, and the title isn’t listed as a limited series, so the future looks promising. As long as fans keep tuning in, Finding Her Edge season 2 could arrive in early 2027.

Finding Her Edge Cast

  • Madelyn Keys as Adriana Russo
  • Cale Ambrozic as Brayden Elliott
  • Olly Atkins as Freddie O’Connell
  • Alexandra Beaton as Elise Russo
  • Alice Malakhov as Maria Russo
  • Niko Ceci as Charlie Monroe
  • Millie Davis as Riley Monroe
  • Harmon Walsh as Will Russo

What Could Happen in Finding Her Edge Season 2?

Based on Jennifer Iacopelli’s book of the same name, Finding Her Edge is set in the high-stakes world of competitive figure skating.

The series follows Adriana, a once-promising skater who stepped away from the ice after her mother’s death. When her family’s struggling skating rink faces financial issues, she returns to competition to attract sponsorships.

Adriana teams up with ambitious skater Brayden, which proves to be a wise move. Their technical skill and growing chemistry make them a formidable pair. On top of that, they agree to stage a fake romantic relationship to generate media attention. However, when Adriana’s first love, Freddie, returns to the ice with a new partner, unresolved feelings resurface.

The series blends romance, drama, and self-discovery with fun skating sequences, making it a pleasant watch for the entire family. We won’t spoil anything, but the first season ends with Adriana choosing between the two boys in her life.

That said, there are still plenty of ways for the story to develop in Finding Her Edge season 2. Whether you’re team Brayden or team Freddie, we’re guessing the love triangle hasn’t wrapped up for good.

Are There Other Shows Like Finding Her Edge?

If you like Finding Her Edge, you might also enjoy global hit Heated Rivalry. Just keep in mind that the latter is more on the steamy side.

Otherwise, check out some of the other popular romance series streaming on Netflix. The list includes Emily in Paris, Bridgerton, Nobody Wants This, and Forever.
