Joe Rogan launched his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, on December 24, 2009, on YouTube.

In a matter of a couple of years, it became one of the most popular podcasts in the world with guests such as Bernie Sanders, Elon Musk, Edward Snowden, and Neil deGrasse Tyson appearing on the show. Rogan uploaded his podcast on YouTube for over a decade.

However, in December 2020, he exclusively signed with Spotify. Since then, his full episodes are only available on Spotify and highlights are uploaded on YouTube.

The Joe Rogan Experience has been the number-one podcast on Spotify ever since it was signed exclusively on the platform. However, it was recently dethroned by The Meer Show.

‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ dethroned by ‘The Meer Show’

On May 18, 2023, The Joe Rogan Experience was dethroned from its position as the top podcast on Spotify. Instead, a brand-new podcast named The Meer Show took its spot.

To date, only one episode of 20 minutes in length has been released and yet, it has managed to take the top position. However, such is only the case on Spotify. On Apple Podcast, they have reached 28th position in the UK Charts.

The Meer Show is a new podcast from the UK from TikTok influencers, Meer Jangi, Grace, and Bailey. Talking about dethroning The Joe Rogan Experience, they told Dextero how they have been trending for the past four weeks, “gaining up to 25k viewers on our lives at once.”

As a result, they decided to make a podcast randomly and called it The Meer Show. They said, “We decided to make the podcast 5 days ago for our followers and then promoted the link from there which boosted our podcast listens and we were able to get really positive feedback from our fans!”

While The Meer Show has dethroned The Joe Rogan Experience, it is unknown when they will be able to hold the #1 spot on Spotify.

Instances of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ being dethroned

This is not the first time The Joe Rogan Experience has been dethroned. In April 2023, TWOTI – This Week on the Internet – hosted by YouTuber WillNE, took the #1 spot on the UK charts.

The YouTube sensation, who founded TWOTI as an on-and-off weekly internet summary video on his channel a few years ago, has been rapidly ascending the rankings in recent weeks and eclipsed Rogan as the #1 podcast in the UK.

However, it did not take The Joe Rogan Experience to take the spot again. Similarly, in May 2022, Batman Unburied dominated the charts in various countries like the US, the UK, Australia, Mexico, and India, among others.

In August 2022, Meghan Markle’s podcast, Archetypes, dethroned The Joe Rogan Experience two days after she released the podcast.

Similarly, in the past, The Joe Rogan Experience has been dethroned in the past by Minecraft stars SapNap and KarlJacobs’ Banter, Kim Kardashian’s The System: The Case of Kevin Keith, as well as the It’s Always Sunny Podcast.

Regardless of how many times The Joe Rogan Experience has been kicked out of the #1 spot, they have managed to jump back and take their place as the top podcast on Spotify.

Purple Hearts 2 Update 2026: Release Date Rumors and Sofia Carson News

It has now been over three years since Netflix released the record-breaking romantic film Purple Hearts, and the digital clamor for a sequel is louder than ever. Despite the film being a self-contained story based on Tess Wakefield’s novel, the chemistry between Sofia Carson and Nicholas Galitzine has left fans unwilling to say goodbye to Cassie and Luke.

Is Purple Hearts 2 Confirmed for 2026?

As of January 2026, Netflix has not officially confirmed Purple Hearts 2.

Throughout 2024 and 2025, social media platforms like TikTok and YouTube were flooded with “First Look” trailers and release date announcements claiming a 2026 debut. However, these are largely fan-made “concept trailers” using footage from the actors’ other projects.

While Sofia Carson remains a staple at Netflix—recently starring in the rom-com The Life List (released March 2025)—the streaming giant has not moved the sequel into active production.

Why a Sequel is Still Uncertain

The likelihood of a sequel remains a subject of debate for several reasons:

The “Happily Ever After”: The original film concludes with Luke returning home and reuniting with Cassie, resolving the central conflict of their marriage of convenience.
Actor Availability: Nicholas Galitzine’s career has skyrocketed. In 2024 and 2025, he starred in high-profile projects like The Idea of You and Mary & George, and he is currently set to appear in The Sheep Detectives in May 2026.
Creative Integrity: Producer Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum and Sofia Carson have both stated they would only return if a script felt “just as special” as the first. In a March 2025 interview, Carson reiterated that she would “make the time for Cassie” only if the story were right.

Potential Plot for ‘Purple Hearts 2’

If a sequel were to happen, the narrative would likely shift from “convenience” to the “reality” of a military marriage. Potential plot points discussed by fans include:

Luke’s Post-Marine Life: Navigating life after being dishonorably discharged and finding a new career path.
Cassie’s Musical Fame: Dealing with the pressures of a rising music career while maintaining a long-term partnership.
Family Expansion: The challenges of starting a family while managing Cassie’s Type 1 diabetes and Luke’s recovery from past trauma.

Meet the ‘Purple Hearts’ Cast Members

The original ensemble remains the primary hope for a returning cast:

Sofia Carson (Cassie Salazar): Since Purple Hearts, Carson has solidified her status as a Netflix darling with Carry-On and The Life List.
Nicholas Galitzine (Luke Morrow): Now a global star, Galitzine’s return is the biggest question mark for a potential sequel.
Chosen Jacobs (Frankie): Although his character’s arc ended tragically, he could potentially appear in flashbacks or as a guiding memory for Luke.

Actor	Character	Status in Jan 2026
Sofia Carson	Cassie Salazar	Active with Netflix (The Life List)
Nicholas Galitzine	Luke Morrow	Filming The Sheep Detectives
Linden Ashby	Jacob Morrow Sr.	No current sequel attachment
Kat Cunning	Nora	Continuing music/acting career

Summary: Will It Ever Happen?

While there is no Purple Hearts 2 release date, the door is not officially closed. Netflix often revisits its most popular IPs years later (as seen with the To All The Boys spin-offs). For now, fans should treat any “leaked” 2026 trailers with caution and keep an eye on official Netflix channels for a real announcement.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson to Star in Robert Eggers' Next Film ‘Werwulf’

After haunting audiences with Nosferatu, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is teaming up once again with director Robert Eggers. This time for a werewolf horror titled Werwulf. The film is already building buzz ahead of its Christmas Day 2026 release, and it may get even hotter with Nosferatu lead Lily-Rose Depp in talks to join the cast.

Eggers will direct from a script he co-wrote with Sjón, his collaborator on The Northman. With Focus Features backing the project, and Working Title producing, Werwulf looks to carry the eerie, mythic tone Eggers is known for — only now under the full moon.

Their last outing, Nosferatu, was a breakout hit, raking in $181 million worldwide and marking a massive return for stylized gothic horror. Taylor-Johnson played Friedrich Harding, a vampire skeptic, while Depp portrayed Ellen, the object of Count Orlok’s obsession.

With werewolves now in his sights, Eggers’ next nightmare seems poised to bite — and Taylor-Johnson is clearly ready to howl.

‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Roars Into Box Office Success

Jurassic World Rebirth, the latest installment in the dinosaur saga, has stomped its way to box office glory. Directed by Gareth Edwards and co-written by Jurassic Park veteran David Koepp, the film premiered on June 17 in London and hit U.S. theaters on July 2. It has already grossed over $334 million globally against a reported budget of $180 million.

This fresh reboot stars Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali in leading roles, supported by Jonathan Bailey, Ed Skrein, and Rupert Friend. The film shifts slightly from the earlier World trilogy tone, leaning into sci-fi thrills and a suspenseful, character-driven story.

Critics have been split. While some praise the visual effects and performances, others say it doesn’t quite recapture the awe of Spielberg’s original. Still, many fans agree that Rebirth is a major improvement over the previous film, Dominion, and a step in the right direction for the franchise.

With its strong performance, Universal is now reportedly developing spin-offs and planning to expand the Jurassic universe further. After ten films and over three decades of dino-dominance, it seems audiences still aren’t done with the thrill of prehistoric adventure.
