What Is Midloop and What Can You Find on It?
Updated
Midloop is a release-date tracking site for digital entertainment. It lets you browse upcoming and current release schedules for movies, TV shows, games, and music, then filter those schedules by time window, genre, platform or streaming service, and rating. It's useful if you want one place to check what's coming out today, this week, this month, or further ahead, rather than checking each store or streaming catalog separately.
What Midloop covers
The site organizes its release schedule into four media categories, each with its own filters:
| Category | Time views | Filters shown |
|---|---|---|
| Movies | Today, This Week, This Month, Upcoming | Genre, Streaming Service, Rating |
| TV shows | Today, This Week, This Month, Upcoming | Genre, Streaming Service, Rating |
| Games | Today, This Week, This Month, Upcoming | Genre, Platform, Mode, Rating |
| Music | Today, This Week, This Month, Upcoming | Genre |
Each category also has a Show / Hide hidden items control, so you can decide whether titles you've hidden stay out of the list.
How the browsing works
The core interaction is a schedule view. You pick a category (movies, TV shows, games, or music), then narrow the list:
- Choose a time window — Today, This Week, This Month, or Upcoming.
- Apply filters — for example, a genre plus a streaming service for movies and TV, or a genre plus a platform and mode for games.
- Sort the results — the schedule offers rating and date sorting (shown as Rating ASC / Date ASC, with music using a date toggle).
- Hide what you don't care about — hidden items can be toggled on or off in the list.
The result is a filtered release calendar rather than a single editorial "most anticipated" list, which is what the site's own tagline emphasizes.
Bookmarks and sharing
Midloop includes a My Bookmarks area. Bookmarks can be filtered by All, Movies, TV Shows, Games, Books, and Music, and sorted by date or rating. From there you can Share or Clear All. Note that books appear as a bookmark filter even though the main release schedule categories listed on the page are movies, TV shows, games, and music.
Where the data comes from
Midloop states its data sources directly:
- Movies and TV metadata — The Movie Database (TMDB). The site notes it uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
- Game data — IGDB (Internet Game Database).
- Streaming availability — JustWatch.
- Music data — Last.fm.
- Entertainment news — News API.
Because release dates and streaming availability come from third-party databases, an individual date or availability window can shift at the source. Treat Midloop as an aggregator view, and confirm a specific date with the platform or store before relying on it.
Practical uses
- Planning what to watch or play next — filter movies and TV by a streaming service you actually subscribe to, so you only see titles you can access.
- Checking a game's platform — use the Platform and Mode filters to see what's releasing on hardware you own.
- Building a personal watchlist — bookmark titles across categories, then use the bookmark filters to review them by date or rating.
- Following a genre — set a genre filter and check the Upcoming view periodically instead of scanning everything.
Things to know before you rely on it
- The page evidence includes a 404 "Page Not Found" state, meaning some URLs on the site may be broken or moved. If a link fails, go back to the main schedule rather than assuming the content is gone.
- Midloop is a tracking and aggregation tool, not a streaming service or store. It doesn't host or sell the content it lists.
- The site mentions that a coffee donation helps cover server, domain, and hosting costs, which indicates it's an independently run project rather than a large commercial platform. No pricing or account requirements are stated in the available information, so don't assume any particular access model beyond what you see on the site.
