Alright, let’s get this out of the way: Dawson’s Creek was the guilty pleasure of the late ‘90s and early 2000s. It was the TV equivalent of a high school breakup that you never really got over. The angsty love triangles, the tragic back-and-forth between Dawson and Joey, and of course, Pacey – who was just too cool for the entire show.

We were hooked, we were obsessed, and we just knew we’d be watching those familiar faces for years. But like all good things, Dawson’s Creek didn’t last forever. After six seasons, the show wrapped up in 2003, leaving fans asking, “Why, oh why, did you have to pull the plug so soon?”

Sometimes it can take years for a movie to truly catch on, and that has proven to be the case with the 2004 comedy White Chicks, directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, and starring Marlon and Shawn Wayans, better known as the Wayans Brothers. The film was a moderate hit upon release and wasn't embraced by critics as it carries a less than stellar 15% Rotten Tomatoes score. Despite the critical response, the film has since been regarded as a cult classic, with many fans demanding a sequel. As they wait for news of a follow-up, White Chicks has found success once again by becoming a hit on streaming.

White Chicks is currently streaming on Max and is currently ranked ninth in their top ten movies. The movie is ahead of the James Franco comedy Why Him and behind a wide range of efforts from films that are great, such as End of Watch...

Netflix makes decisions on which shows to renew or cancel based on performance vs. cost. The streamer’s latest data dump gives a glimpse into the numbers behind some of its highest-profile cancellations.

The company launched its latest What We Watched report, which gives viewership numbers for shows between July and December 2024.

Kaos, the Greek mythology comedy starring Jeff Goldblum, was Netflix’s most-watched canceled series in the second half of last year.

The series scored 20.3M views in that six-month period. Kaos, which comes from The End of the F*cking World creator Charlie Covell, started off relatively strong with 3.4M views in its first couple of days before adding 5.9M views in its first full week on the service between September 2 and 8.

Women of a certain age are like a good bottle of wine—they just get better with time. This is almost the perfect way to describe Girls5eva—a show that proves women in their 40s still have plenty of rhythm, sass, and heart to make the music industry take notice, even after their big hits have faded into the annals of pop culture history. Created by Meredith Scardino and executive produced by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, Girls5eva is an amazing ride through nostalgia, irreverence, and hilarity, all wrapped up in infectious pop anthems.

We’ve watched the hilarious and endearing quartet of former girl group members—Dawn, Wickie, Summer, and Gloria—reignite their dreams of stardom while battling personal struggles, fractured friendships, and the weight of a past that refuses to let them go. But, as with any musical comeback, not all seasons are created equal.

One of the most controversial comedies of modern times is getting a long-awaited sequel. Released more than two decades ago, White Chicks stars Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans as two FBI agents who must go undercover as two white, female socialites...using “whiteface.” Now, finally, the cinematic gods have heard our endless cries as Marlon Wayans confirms that there are plans in place to bring back Brittany and Tiffany Wilson for White Chicks 2.

Speaking with Good Morning America, Wayans revealed that, following the release of another of the Wayans’ highly anticipated comedy sequels, Scary Movie 6, they will start work on White Chicks 2, with the actor, comedian, writer, and producer saying, “it’s time.”

"[Fans always ask] 'When are you doing the sequel?' They love that movie," he said. "Hey, you know, I think it's time. Let's get Scary Movie 6 done, and then we'll go and bring out White Chicks 2."

RelatedWhite Chicks 2:...

Released in 2004, White Chicks may be the most controversial of any movie made by the Wayans family. There has been some debate over whether a film with its concept could be made today, but Marlon Wayans is hinting that a sequel will soon be made.

In previous years, Wayans has expressed his desire to see White Chicks 2 happen, but the potential sequel has never managed to get off the ground. Now, the odds of the sequel happening may increase exponentially if the upcoming Scary Movie sequel turns out to be a hit with filmgoers. The Wayans Brothers are reuniting to develop Scary Movie 6, and Marlon shared with Good Morning America that he's looking to finally get work on White Chicks 2 started as their next potential project.

Situational comedies, or sitcoms, have been around since the earliest days of television. These programs center on a small cast of characters who are faced with a new set of problematic circumstances every week and must come up with some way to solve them. The genre has spawned countless shows over the decades, many failing to make it past their first season and others producing hundreds of episodes.

Given the nature of sitcoms, it can be extremely difficult for a show to maintain its quality season after season. After all, there are only so many situations its characters can stumble into before the problems start to feel repetitive, and the characters become frustratingly static. Another common problem with sitcoms is a slow start. Writers and actors often need time to work out the best dynamics for their characters. There are a few exceptions: shows that break onto the scene at...

Julie Bowen entertained fans on Modern Family for 11 long years. While her onscreen persona often came off as a strict parent, her real personality couldn’t be farther from it. Fans are aware of the actress’ terrific humor and warm-heartedness that has shone through her in various interviews.

Hulu continues to cancel fan-favorite shows before they can become mainstream successes, and their latest cancellation is no different. How to Die Alone, created by and starring Sonic the Hedgehog scene-stealer Natasha Rothwell, has been canceled by the streaming service after just one season on the platform. Although critics adored the comedy, with reviews earning it a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes, it seems Hulu did not find enough reason to greenlight another set of episodes for How to Die Alone.

On Tuesday, Hulu officially declined to renew How to Die Alone (via Deadline) for another season. It's unclear why the streamer decided to not move forward with more episodes, but it would not be the first time Hulu prematurely ended a show's lifespan. Rothwell, series creator and star, released a statement about the surprising news, expressing her shock and disappointment. Her words:

James Gunn's Superman film is at the center of a lawsuit, with the Superman creator's estate suing Warner Bros. Discovery and DC over its release.

The buddy cop comedy film was released in 2004 to largely negative reviews. Twenty-one years after its release, the film has a mere 15% critics' rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Be they a comic book antihero, supernatural vigilante, troubled teen, or male ingenue in a daytime soap, nobody plays these characters quite like actor Jensen Ackles. The television star has enjoyed a career at the forefront of some of the most popular genre projects in TV history, thanks in large part to his hard-earned professional relationships with The CW and producer Eric Kripke.

Following 15 seasons of the fantasy adventure series "Supernatural" and a lauded season-long arc on the Amazon Prime Video comic book romp "The Boys," Ackles is on the precipice of yet another exciting chapter in his career. Before the upcoming releases of the fifth and final season of "The Boys," its highly-anticipated spin-off series, or the Derek Haas crime drama "Countdown," we're taking a look back at his most memorable films and television shows thus far -- ranking them by quality, impact on Ackles' career, and overall showcasing of his talent.

The best Chad Michael Murray movies and TV shows include a mix of young adult releases, and in recent years, more adult drama fare. Murray got his start as an actor after he graduated from high school and won a modeling scholarship, which helped him pick up an agent. He moved to California and quickly earned a role in the MTV drama series Undressed. This helped lead to his breakout role on The Gilmore Girls as Tristin DuGray.

After another recurring role in Dawson’s Creek, Murray’s popularity exploded when he grabbed one of the leading roles in One Tree Hill. This also led to several film roles, mostly in young adult movies like Freaky Friday and A Cinderella Story. He hasn’t slowed down since aging out of many of those young adult releases, earning some great roles in movies like Fruitvale Station and TV shows like Marvel’s Agent Carter and Sullivan’s Crossing.

Girls5Eva stands out among other current comedies because of the clever dialogue and absurd humor. The sitcom follows the members of a ‘90s girl group trying to reignite their careers. Pop singer Sara Bareilles stars as Dawn, a working mom who steps up to be the leader of the group. The other girl group members are ditzy influencer Summer (Busy Philipps), divorced dentist Gloria (Paula Pell), and the deeply ambitious Wickie (Renée Elise Goldsberry). Over the show’s three seasons, each of the women in the main cast gets a strong story about finding themselves through songwriting and touring. The latest season featured the usual excellent joke writing and strong character moments, but the finale felt rushed and left things unresolved. Now that Netflix has cancelled it, it’s a shame to think that one of the best sitcoms of the 2020s won’t get a proper ending.

Although Freaks & Geeks only got one season, its female protagonist was blessed with two love interests, thanks to a couple of talented young actors.

Jason Segel recently recalled the audition process for the Paul Feig-created NBC teen dramedy, which ran from 1999 to 2000 with EP Judd Apatow, featuring himself as aimless drummer Nick Andopolis, the eventual boyfriend of Linda Cardellini‘s overachiever Lindsay Weir.

“I was brought in for a callback with James Franco, and we were, as far as we knew, competing for the same part, because at the time, there was only one of those characters,” he told GQ. “Daniel and Nick were just one character at the time. So we went in and we auditioned against each other. They liked us both, and they split the part, and he became the cool one, and I became the goofy one.”

Segel added, “I always felt like Nick was a lot like me.

The hilarious musical comedy series Girls5eva was rescued for its third season after being initially canceled, but Netflix canned the series once again. Debuting in 2021 as a Peacock original, Girls5eva concerns the members of a 1990s one-hit-wonder pop group who decide to reunite after one of their songs goes viral. Across the three seasons, the band members each try to juggle their adult lives with their far-fetched dreams of pop stardom in their 40s. Deftly blending music, heart, and humor, Girls5eva was a bona fide sleeper hit.

That cult status earned the show a devoted audience, but its original streaming home didn't have faith in the series after season 2. In a shocking move, Peacock canceled the well-reviewed series after two seasons, leaving its future in jeopardy. However, Netflix wasted no time in scooping up the abandoned program and swiftly renewed it for a third season, which debuted on the platform...

While he may be known for playing therapist Jimmy Laird on Apple TV+’s Shrinking, for many of a certain generation, actor Jason Segel will be known as the stoner drummer from the cult classic TV series Freaks and Geeks. Entertainment Weekly reports Segel is now opening up about what he thinks may have happened to his character, and it’s not great.

In NBC's Freaks and Geeks, set in Chippewa, Michigan, in 1980-81, Segel played high schooler Nick Andopolis. His character was known for loving Zeppelin and smoking weed with his buddies Daniel Desario (James Franco) and Ken Miller (Seth Rogen). Freaks and Geeks also starred Linda Cardellini, John Francis Daley, Samm Levine, Martin Starr, and Busy Philipps. In an interview with GQ, Segel said he thought Nick went off to war and met his demise, which doesn’t seem all that far-fetched, given that his character’s...

We're at the end of 2024, and you know what that means. It's time to look back at what all happened this year. We'll start off by saying that it's been a rollercoaster of a year for many of the streaming services, especially Netflix. While there were many renewals from the streamer, there were also some cancellations.

This year, the streaming powerhouse pulled the plug on 17 of its original series, and there's even a chance there will be more cancellations since 2024 isn't quite over yet. Obviously, a show getting canceled is never a good thing, and it sucks for the people who were hoping for additional installments. However, there's one Netflix show that got the boot this year that we're not exactly sad about.

In this article, we shared all the Netflix show cancellations from this year as well as discussed why we weren't necessarily hurt by one of the shows being axed.

Given the sheer volume of new shows released each month, it's unfortunately natural for some shows to slip through the cracks completely or fade away after having a minor moment. After one show pops, there's another one ready to take its place the next month — or even week!

Sometimes the circle of television life isn't kind to shows that should be much more popular and/or successful, and they remain underrated until they either build a cult following, fizzle out, or get canceled far too soon. The past year wasn't without its long list of shows that deserved more love.

It's no secret that 2024 was a huge year for television, on both the small screen and streaming. There were huge hits like Baby Reindeer, Presumed Innocent, Industry, Shōgun, House of the Dragon, High Potential, The Penguin, and so many shows that had everyone watching and talking.

But there were even...

The reunion tour has come to an end. After Netflix saved Girls5Eva following its first cancelation at Peacock, the series has been axed for a second time at its new streaming home – despite garnering a perfect score for its third season.

Per Variety, it's been revealed that Girls5Eva has been canceled at Netflix. Originally, the series was a Peacock exclusive, debuting on the NBCUniversal streaming platform in 2021. When Peacock pulled the plug after two seasons, Netflix swooped in to save Girls5Eva, giving the musical comedy show a third season that debuted in March. While there were high hopes that the series would become even more popular with the move, given its critical acclaim, that was not the case. Series star Busy Phillips has speculated that underwhelming viewership is behind the second cancelation.

A saved Netflix comedy series has been cancelled again after season 3, after the show was originally saved by the streamer in early 2024. Netflix's original TV shows in 2024 have included the likes of murder mystery Fool Me Once, their continuing comedy series Emily in Paris, and a long-awaited romance in Bridgerton season 3. Many of these releases have been successful for the streaming service, with continuing series getting renewed soon after their release. However, that's not the case for every show, with the platform also known for canceling smaller shows that don't reach a certain mark for viewership.

Now, Variety has confirmed Netflix cancelled Girls5Eva after season 3, confirming season 4 will not be happening for the show rescued from Peacock. Season 3 aired in March 2024, but it wasn't until now the streaming platform finally made a decision about the fate of the series. The news was additionally confirmed by star Busy Phillips on her...

Netflix is very quickly becoming the Dickens of the streaming world, delivering the best of times by saving some popular shows from cancelation on other platforms, while turning it into the worst of times with their frequent cancelations – sometimes both for the same show. This is the case with the latest series to find itself on the harsh end of Netflix’s iron rod, Girls5Eva, which will not be returning for a fourth season.

Following in the footsteps of the likes of Lucifer and Manifest, Girls5Eva was saved by Netflix when Peacock decided not to renew the musical comedy last year, and Season 3 finally arrived in March this year. For fans, it was another great savior moment by the streamer, and it looked like the future of the series was secure for at least a couple of seasons. However, the Tina Fey-produced show will not be returning for Season...

There will be no season four for Girls5Eva: Netflix has canceled the comedy after its first season on the platform and third overall.

The cancellation marks the end for Girls5Eva after it got a second life on Netflix. The show, about a girl group that reunites 20-plus years after its only hit, ran for two seasons on Peacock before switching platforms for season three. The first two seasons stream on both platforms, while the now-final season is exclusive to Netflix.

Created by Meredith Scardino and executive produced by Tina Fey, the series stars Sara Bareilles, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Busy Philipps and Paula Pell as the members of the titular group. Philipps said on a recent episode of her podcast Busy Philipps Is Doing Her Best that the show is “dead. I’m just saying it because, fuck it. If Netflix won’t, I will. I guess not enough people...

Girls5eva has been canceled again, and this time by Netflix, Deadline has confirmed.

The musical comedy will not have a fourth season on the streamer, marking the second time the show has been canceled.

Girls5eva originally premiered on Peacock in 2021. The show got a second season in 2022 but was dropped by the NBCUniversal streamer after two seasons before Netflix rescued it for a third season.

Season 3 of the comedy premiered in March 2024.

Netflix’s confirmation that Girls5eva was not moving forward with another season came after star Busy Philipps addressed the series’ future on her podcast.

“[Girls5Eva is] dead.I’m just saying it because fuck it. If Netflix won’t, I will,” Philipps said on Doing Her Best. “I guess not enough people watched it or watched it the way that counts. I don’t know. I actually just don’t know.”

She continued, “To be fair, Netflix...

“Girls5Eva” sang their last song (again).

The musical comedy series, starring Sara Bareilles, Paula Pell, Busy Philipps and Renée Elise Goldsberry, has been canceled after debuting its third season on Netflix. The streamer previously saved it from cancellation after Peacock axed the show after two seasons.

“Girs5Eva,” created by Meredith Scardino and executive produced by Tina Fey, Robert Carlock and Jeff Richmond, follows the members of a former girl group who decide to give their musical dreams one last shot. Only this time around, they have to contend with divorce, New York lonely boys and knee surgeries, as well as a whole new generation of young stars who are equally desperate for fame.

At the time of the Netflix renewal, the streamer also secured the rights to the first two seasons to give its audience the chance to catch up from the beginning. “There were a lot of friendly fans and faces over there.

How should we face the future that's to come? If the TV shows that moved us in 2024 are any indication, the answer involves collective action, the preservation of hope and anger, and -- as shows like "Evil" and "English Teacher" effortlessly remind us -- the ability to laugh in the face of the absurd. It seems likely that the creators making our favorite shows didn't foresee some of this year's most dystopic global and national events, but their art speaks to a world in unprecedented chaos nonetheless. Whether you're more into the stalwart mottos of Starfleet, the unspoken camaraderie between the vulnerable women of Ennis, Alaska, or the "okey-dokey" attitude of Vault 33's best and brightest, the best television of 2024 offered a number of stirring solutions to the question we're all anxious to ask: how the hell do we get through this?...

Every great TV show delicately walks along the fine border of captivating its audience and losing them in the process, and some storylines go too far one way or the other. Sometimes writers double down on a plot that they hope can be compelling but ends up being bothersome. Even the best TV shows of all time can sometimes overrely on specific stories, to the detrement of their overarching appeal.

From stereotypical personalities in Young Sheldon to repetitive tropes in The Bear season 4, it's not uncommon to see attempts at long-form storytelling take a wrong turn. However, too much of anything can be toxic, which can describe a number of TV shows over the years that lost momentum due to weak overarching plots that overstayed their welcome. Here are ten TV shows that took a storyline and ran it straight into the ground.

It's been a long year that went by in the blink of an eye, but in the midst of all 2024 had offer, there were so many great Netflix shows for us to binge. Some people like to focus on what we didn't get — new seasons of Stranger Things, Wednesday, You, etc. — but think of what we did get.

In 2024, Netflix ended many fan-favorite series, like The Umbrella Academy, Elite, and Vikings: Valhalla, and kicked off the final season of Cobra Kai. There were new seasons of beloved hit such as Bridgerton, Emily in Paris, and Outer Banks. And to top it all off, Netflix managed to release handfuls upon handfuls of new shows the world couldn't stop binge-watching.

While your picks for the best Netflix shows of 2024 might vary, here are four of our biggest highlights of the year, as well as a short list of more excellent picks!

Nobody Wants This.

There's definitely a sweet spot when it comes to how long a TV series should run. Some go on seemingly forever until they're shallow visages of what they used to be. Then, there are the shows that displayed a ton of promise in just a few episodes but got canceled for one reason or another. When it comes to the latter, you know exactly what we're talking about. Perhaps you were even part of a fan campaign to try to bring one of the following shows back on the air. Sadly, the whims of studio executives know no mercy, even when a show ends on a massive cliffhanger that'll no longer get any resolution.

These are the shows that broke all of our hearts. These series canceled after one season managed to get us invested so quickly, and now, we're left to wonder what might've been had more people tuned in initially.

Paul Feig’s Freaks and Geeks might have been short-lived, but to date, fans cannot get over it. The teen dramedy, set in a suburban Detroit high school, followed siblings Lindsay and Sam Weir played by Linda Cardellini and John Francis Daley as they navigated their way through two very different cliques, the “freaks” and the “geeks.”

With stars like Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jason Segel, Busy Philipps, Samm Levine, and Martin Starr, the show brought humor, heart, and authenticity to teenage life. Despite critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase, NBC canceled the series after airing only 12 of its 18 episodes, citing low ratings. Over time, Freaks and Geeks earned cult status as one of the best TV shows ever.

With just one season, viewers were left wanting more. Isn’t it time Seth Rogen stepped in to revive this iconic series? A...

It's hard to believe it's been 25 years since Freaks and Geeks aired on NBC. The show featured a fantastic cast, touching, realistic writing, terrific music, and an almost unforgivable short run.

Many of the young cast members went on to have excellent careers despite NBC's pitiful treatment of the show. Stars like James Franco, Linda Cardellini, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Busy Phillips, John Francis Daly, and Martin Star have all enjoyed robust careers in Hollywood. Shia Labeouf, Rashida Jones, Lizzy Caplan, JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Ben Foster, Amy Aquino, Samaire Armstrong, Stephanie Erb, Leslie Mann, Kevin Corrigan, David Krumholtz, Jason Schwartzman, Matt Czuchy, and Mike White are just some of the talent that appeared in the shows all too brief run.

While 18 episodes were made, NBC only aired 15 of them, even banning one of them completely. The network never realized the greatest it had on its hands, and it canceled the...

A trickle is becoming a flood for Bluesky, the social media company that has seen spectacular growth since the presidential election. On Tuesday, the microblogging platform hit 20 million users, after averaging 1 million new users per day over the past five days.

According to a Nov. 13 post by Bluesky CEO Jay Graber, the site had 6 million users in late August, nearly 11 million in late October and hit 15 million users on Nov. 15. It added another 5 million users in just five days, with the explosive growth seen since Nov. 5, the day of the election, accelerating.

Bluesky has been one of the main beneficiaries of millions of users leaving Elon Musk’s X, as the site formerly known as Twitter descends into a mess of bots, extreme content, crypto scams, ads, pornography, racism, transphobia and misinformation.

Call it a blue wave. A host of actors, directors, musicians, journalists and other prominent people are dumping X (formerly Twitter) and flocking to social media platform Bluesky.

In the past week, an increasing number of bold-faced names have announced that they plan to post less on X, or leave the platform altogether, citing myriad issues with the social media company, including far right content, hate speech, transphobia, racism, harassment, pornography, crypto scams, bots and the political views of owner Elon Musk, the billionaire oligarch who is a vocal supporter and financial backer of Donald Trump.

Musk’s ownership of X and his updates to content moderation on the platform have been pushing brands and media groups closer and closer to the exit. This week, The Guardian media group announced that it will stop posting on X, describing the site as a “toxic media platform.” On Nov. 4, the Berlin Film...

20 years after the original film, a musical movie adaptation of Mean Girls was released, providing a new twist to the 2004 classic and making some ending changes.
