Every new Fortnite season is a massive event for players. While not quite on the scale of a new Chapter, seasons still bring about a plethora of changes to the ever-evolving Battle Royale island to keep players hooked to the game. New skins, abilities, quests, weapons, and a new battle pass to complete are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of fresh content.

If a particular season doesn't quite do it for you, or if you've already unlocked all the cosmetics in your Battle Pass and are eagerly awaiting the beginning of the next one, knowing when to mark your calendar is essential. Let's dive into when you can expect the next Fortnite season to begin.
When does the next Fortnite season start?

Mark gets new co-workers in mysterious teaser trailer for Severance season 2

A man puts his hands through flaps and looks as a woman stares behing him.

Things look a bit different for Mark upon his return to Lumon in the new teaser for Severance season 2.

The Apple TV+ series follows the employees of Lumon Industries who underwent a special medical procedure called "severance," which separates memories between work and personal life. In the season 1 finale, Mark (Adam Scott) exposed his "innie" to the outside world and learned that his wife did not die. In fact, she's alive and working under the name of Ms. Casey (Dichen Lachman), Lumon's wellness counselor. In the season 2 teaser, Mark's newfound knowledge kicks in when the elevator doors open to his work floor.

Tom Holland to star in Christopher Nolan’s next movie

Tom Holland smiles and poses for a picture at Comic-con.

Christopher Nolan previously had the Caped Crusader, but now, he wants Spider-Man. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Tom Holland is set to star in Nolan's next movie alongside Matt Damon.

Like all of Nolan's projects, the movie is clouded in secrecy. However, THR's report mentions the film's setting is either in the past or future, not the present. Nolan plans to shoot the film in early 2025, and Universal will release the movie in IMAX on July 17, 2026. That third weekend in July has become a staple for Nolan films, with Oppenheimer, Dunkirk, Inception, and The Dark Knight all receiving similar release dates. Nolan will produce alongside his wife, Emma Thomas, for their Syncopy banner.
