Rising Stars, or Who We Will Probably Hear About in 2026?
By the end of the year, we had a lot of new names in the world of show business, just waiting for their moment of fame. Many of them might just get it in the new year. After all, according to available astrological sources, the year 2026 should bring global changes and individual progress to some. And who are, according to us, going to enjoy the dreamy sunshine called fame?
Olivia Dean
Those familiar with the international music scene will surely have heard of Olivia Dean. The British songwriter is experiencing a career boom at the moment, and she's all over the internet. Her GRAMMY nomination for best new artist or group is testament to this. The Grammy awards are a widely watched musical event, and even a mere nomination ensures new listeners.
Her success is also thanks to her new album The Art of Loving, which has millions of plays on Spotify. Her work stands on a soft combination of soulful sound, personal lyrics, and a very authentic expression. This very authenticity makes her one of the most distinctive faces of the new British music generation, with which the audience can easily identify.
Yerin Ha or the Cinderella of the fourth season of Bridgerton
The successful historical romance is already returning in March with its fourth series. In addition to the already known faces, there will also be a new main protagonist, Yerin Ha, who will play the role of Sophie. The Australian actress already has a few successful roles behind her, but the right moment that would catapult her to the forefront has not yet come. That is definitely going to change now.
Unquestionably, Bridgerton is the right train to fame. This was confirmed even in the previous seasons when the actors gained unprecedented popularity. Expectations are huge, also thanks to her colleague. In addition to Sophie, the fourth series will be dedicated to one of the most beloved Bridgerton siblings - Benedict himself. The first part of the series is to be released already in March on the Netflix platform.
Hockey gay romance topped all charts
At the end of this year, Crave company released a TV adaptation of the book duology Heated Rivarly. Two hockey rivals, excellent casting, and countless explicit scenes. That's how this highly rated series can be simply described. No one expected the attention it would receive, especially not the two main stars Connor Stories and Hudson Williams.
Essentially unknown faces became internet stars within a few days. Therefore, it is fairly safe to assume that their popularity will increase in the coming year. Speculation about various nominations is already rampant and fans would most like to reward both actors with an Emmy Award. Whether any nominations will be successful, or whether the actors will win awards, we are not sure. But one thing is clear. We don't hear the last of them, after all, the second season is already confirmed safe.
Queen of Interviews
Amelia Dimoldenberg is an icon of interviews. This host and comedian with her specific humour has been able to bring something fresh and original to the wide field of podcasts. Her project The Chicken Shop Date combines everyone's favourite fried chicken with interesting guests. Alex Consani, Bella Hadid or Jonathan Bailey.
These are some of the celebrities who have appeared on this year's podcast. In addition, she has also started a collaboration with Formula 1, which is called Passenger Princess. Thanks to her spontaneity, Amelia is aiming very high and we look forward to what the year 2026 will bring her.
