Marvel Zombies is three Halloweens now, not a season two
Marvel spent its New York Comic Con panel rearranging things this site had listed as pending. The second season of Marvel Zombies is not a season at all any more: it is three two-part specials, one each Halloween from 2027 to 2029, following Bucky Barnes, then Danny Rand, then the last Guardian standing. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man finally has a day, 13 January. Daredevil: Born Again got the news that matters most for an order page: season three is the end of it, eight episodes, and the Defenders are back for it. Zodiac is new and listed with nothing but a year, because a year is all Marvel gave.

Two DC dates this site had wrong
The Batman Part II has not been an October 2027 film since July. It moved to 18 February 2028, its fourth delay, and the aggregator pages that most order sites copy from are still carrying the old date. Dynamic Duo moved too, off 30 June 2028 to 22 September, which Warner Bros wants as a back-to-school slot. Neither was announced loudly and neither reached this site until now. Both are fixed, and Creature Commandos season two moved down the list to where Gunn has said it actually lands, after Man of Tomorrow rather than before it.

Two horror sequels that were already on the books
Neither is news this week, and both were missing. The Revenge of La Llorona is dated 26 February 2027 and sits in the Conjuring Universe without Warner Bros quite calling it a Conjuring film, so it goes where the 2019 original goes: the skippable corner. Final Destination 7 is dated 12 May 2028 with a director and the Bloodlines writer attached. The La Llorona sequel is listed last in chronological order and that placement is a placeholder, not a finding. Nothing published says what year it is set in.

Crystal Lake lands before the first film, and spoils it
The Friday the 13th prequel series arrives on Peacock on 15 October, all eight episodes at once, and it is now the chronologically first thing in the franchise. That makes the chronological toggle actively unsafe here, so the page says so: the series is built around Pamela Voorhees, which hands you the original film’s reveal before you ever reach it. It also moves Jason’s drowning to 1971, fourteen years later than the 1980 film puts it, so the series and the films do not read as one history.

Narnia, where this argument started fifty years early
Every other franchise here inherited its order problem from a studio. Narnia had one before the films existed: Lewis was asked in 1957 whether to read the books chronologically, told an eleven-year-old he agreed, and then added that perhaps it does not matter very much. His publisher renumbered the series anyway. Four films, two continuities, and one point worth being clear about, because most order questions get it wrong: Greta Gerwig’s The Magician’s Nephew is a new adaptation with a new cast, not a fourth entry in the 2005 trilogy.

Films in the order the events happened
A third way through the catalogue, after franchises and directors, and the first one not ordered by a release date. World War II went up first, then Vietnam, Ancient Rome and Greece, and World War I. Each page argues for why a film earns its slot rather than listing everything, and each one ends with what cinema never filmed: no major Western film has a Vietnamese protagonist, the First World War films leave out the million-plus Indian soldiers who served, and the fall of the Roman Republic has never been made as a film.

Marvel’s 2028 has names on it
Three held dates resolved into two films and a gap. February moved to July and became Ghost Rider, May became the X-Men reboot, and November went to another Disney release. The untitled rows did not disappear so much as move: Disney is now holding three 2029 dates without saying what fills them, so those are listed the same way, slot named and film not guessed.

Everything dated after this summer, rechecked
Every title on the site dated 2025 or later, checked one at a time against current reporting. Most were already right. Star Wars: Starfighter was missing outright and now sits in its own era five years past The Rise of Skywalker, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man slipped from autumn to January, the two remaining Demon Slayer films are listed as the confirmed but undated pair they are, and episode counts arrived for Lanterns, Blade Runner 2099, VisionQuest, X-Men ’97 and the last cour of Bleach.

What to watch before Minions & Monsters
Search started asking this in the second week of August, and the answer is more interesting than the question: nothing. Minions & Monsters is set in 1920s Hollywood, which puts it first in the franchise by about forty-five years despite being the seventh film released.

Boruto, and why its filler lists disagree
Published counts for Boruto range from 28 filler episodes to 206, on the same 293. The reason is that Boruto never fell behind its manga the way Naruto did, so most of it is anime-original by design rather than by delay. All 293 episodes are now broken into 25 arcs, with what the material is and whether to watch it kept in separate columns.

A saved list
The site could record what you had watched and nothing about what you meant to watch. You can now save a franchise for later from its page or straight from the picker, and the dashboard separates the ones you chose from the rest of the catalogue.
9 August 2026
Collections that know what month it is
A Halloween list is worth a great deal in October and nothing in March. Collections now carry a season, and the home page surfaces whichever one is current. Three new lists came with it, including one for the long dark of January.
9 August 2026
Naruto and Bleach, with the filler marked
Both series now have arc-by-arc tables showing which episodes are anime-original and which of those are worth watching anyway. Bleach is 366 episodes across sixteen arcs; Shippuden is 500 across twenty-three.
9 August 2026
Television finally counts towards runtime
Series used to contribute nothing to any total, so Bleach reported six hours for a franchise that is four hundred episodes. Where a per-episode running time has been published, episodes now count, and totals that include an estimate say so.
9 August 2026
Post-credit scenes for DC, Spider-Man and X-Men
Forty-five more films checked against two credits databases. Four DC films are deliberately left unrecorded because no source affirmatively checked them, which is different from having none.
8 August 2026
What should I watch?
Three questions (what you want out of the evening, how long you have, and how much untangling you will put up with), narrowing every franchise on the site rather than a preset shortlist.
8 August 2026
Six anime franchises
Evangelion, Fullmetal Alchemist, Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man, and an Anime shelf to put them on.

Progress you can back up
Export what you have watched to a file and load it on another browser or device. It never leaves your machine. There is no upload and no account, which is the point.

A privacy notice, and no analytics at all
Google Analytics was removed rather than gated behind a consent banner. The site sets no cookies and collects nothing, which made the notice much shorter to write.
Corrections are welcome. If something here is wrong, watchinorder.in has a contact address and it gets read.
