It’s official! Amazon Prime Day 2024 will be on July 16 and 17. Amazon confirmed the dates for the massive shopping holiday earlier today. The announcement was accompanied by a Megan Thee Stallion music video (for her on-the-nose song “It’s Prime Day”) and a few early Prime Day deals.

Amazon confirmed a few weeks ago that the event would be in July, but this announcement is the first we’ve heard of the final dates. July 16 and 17, a Tuesday and Wednesday, are in line with the last several Prime Days, which have taken place in late June or early July since 2021. Before that it was in October, but Amazon likely moved it so as to not overwhelm shoppers with sales so close to Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Prime Day 2024 will see deals on every product you can imagine. We’ve collected some advice for Prime Day shopping, including what you should expect for Prime Day laptop deals, Prime Day TV deals and Prime Day headphone deals. The sales will likely start the weekend before, even if they don’t get the official “Prime Day” label until that Tuesday. Keep an eye on our coverage for picks of the best deals as they come out.

You don’t need to be an Amazon Prime member to get all of the deals, but there will be membership exclusive offers. The cheapest membership option is $15, and you’ll likely get your money back with the first deal you buy. If you haven’t had a Prime membership yet, you could time an Amazon Prime free trial to overlap with Prime Day. The trial is 30 days long, so if you grab that subscription now you will still have it during the event.

Never mind slowing sales, 57% of drivers will likely have an EV in 10 years

Sales of electric vehicles (EVs) have slowed globally over the past few years. But should EV makers cater more to the mainstream, it’s likely that 57% of drivers will have an EV in 10 years, consulting firm Accenture says.

Last year, nearly 14 million EVs were sold globally, representing a 35% year-on-year increase. But it was much slower than the 55% sales growth recorded in 2022 and the 121% growth in 2021.

Matt Reeves reveals why Batman never intervenes in The Penguin

Robert Pattinson wears the Batsuit in the rain in The Batman.

Few shows this year have caused as much of a stir as The Penguin. The HBO series received consistent acclaim while it was on the air, and it seemed to win over both die-hard DC Comics fans and casual viewers alike. That said, The Penguin never really got around to answering the one question fans kept asking across its eight episodes. That question, of course, was: Where's Batman?

Oz Cobb (Colin Farrell) causes some noisy trouble in The Penguin, but his actions seemingly never catch the attention of Bruce Wayne (Robert Pattinson). That's a reality even the series' biggest fans have found hard to accept. Those viewers will, therefore, likely be curious to hear The Batman director and Penguin executive producer Matt Reeves' long-awaited explanation for the Dark Knight's absence from the HBO series.

Andor season 2 will reveal the origin of one iconic Star Wars location

Cassian Andor looks behind him while he walks in Andor season 1.

Andor season 2 will be an even bigger and more expansive space adventure than its predecessor. In a recent interview with Empire, Cassian Andor himself, actor Diego Luna, teased that the critically acclaimed Star Wars series will go to even more places and planets in its second season than it did in its first. "We move in space more than ever — the amount of planets and sets you’re going to get to see," Luna promised. "There are some familiar and new locations."

According to Andor creator Tony Gilroy, the show's sophomore season will even travel to one of the most important locations in Star Wars history: Yavin 4, the moon where the Rebel Alliance's headquarters are stationed during the first Death Star's destruction at the end of Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope. "I mean, we have to end up in Yavin, right?” Gilroy teased. "So, we’ll tell the story of Yavin. No one has quite dealt with Yavin the way we will be doing it.”
