Daily Wire panel debates 2026 TV picks: X-Men '97 wins audience vote
The Daily Wire's "Behind the Wire" episode features hosts Georgia Howe, John Bickley, Nick, and moderator Ben Davies debating four 2026-relevant TV series while awaiting their own "Run Hide Fight: Infidels" release. Georgia pitched Apple TV+'s Widow's Bay as an atmospheric, campy horror-comedy miniseries with Easter eggs, supernatural curse, and balanced scares. John advocated for Sugar Season 2, a neo-noir Colin Farrell vehicle nostalgic for old LA amid modern decay, praising its character depth and avoidance of heavy messaging. Nick selected HBO's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a smaller-scale, character-driven GoT prequel focused on merit, responsibility, and moral clarity with shorter episodes and less gratuitous content. Ben championed X-Men '97 continuation for pure 90s nostalgia without "woke" changes, citing high RT scores, biblical themes, and traditional character arcs. Audience chat voted in real time; X-Men '97 won narrowly. Clips from Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin were shown.
