Scooby-Doois back, but it won't be how you left it. Netflix is officially tackling the next live-action adaptation of the beloved franchise, this time in the television format. In the early 2000s, there were famously two live-action Scooby-Doo movies made for the big screen, which eventually gained a cult status in the following years. However, Netflix is attempting to make the first modern spin on the property in live-action, this time following the blueprint set by other Hanna-Barbera TV adaptations.

Netflix has officially ordered an eight-episode Scooby-Doo series that will cover the origin of how the titular canine became part of the mystery-solving crew. Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg will be handling the project alongside producers Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman (Berlanti Productions), and André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner (Midnight Radio). For those that recognize the Berlanti name, the live-action Riverdale series may come to mind. The...

“Scooby-Doo” fans rejoice: A Netflix live-action series is in the works.

Netflix announced that Greg Berlanti’s Berlanti Productions (via the company’s Warner Bros. Television deal) is bringing Scooby to life…literally. This will be the first live-action TV adaptation of the beloved Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters. The “Scooby-Doo” eight-episode series will tell the origin story for the mystery-solving gang.

The official synopsis reads: “During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder. Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma, and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy, they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets.”

The series will be a “modern reimagining of the...

Let another high-profile casting search begin: Netflix has given an eight-episode series order to a live-action reimagining of Warner Bros.’ classic Scooby-Doo cartoon that will track down the origins of the famous mystery-solving teen gang and their beloved dog. The project, from Midnight Radio, Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, landed for development at the streamer in a competitive situation last spring with a premium, script-to-series commitment.

Written by Midnight Radio’s Josh Appelbaum & Scott Rosenberg (Cowboy Bebop) based on characters created by Hanna-Barbera, the yet untitled Scooby-Doo series crafts an origin story of how the Mystery Inc. group got together and first teamed up to crack the haunting case that started it all.

The “Scooby-Doo” live-action series is officially moving forward at Netflix, with the streamer picking up the show for eight episodes.

First reported to be in development at Netflix in April 2024 with a script-to-series commitment, the show will delve into how Mystery Inc. and their beloved Great Dane first teamed up together.

As previously reported, Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg serve as writers and showrunners and will also executive produce along with André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner under their Midnight Radio banner. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman will executive produce via Berlanti productions. Warner Bros. Television will produce. Berlanti Productions is currently under an overall deal at Wbtv, with the studio controlling the rights to the Hanna-Barbera characters.

“Mystery, Inc. is back in business! We’re excited to bring Scooby-Doo to TV as a live-action series for the first time,” said Peter Friedlander, vice president of scripted series for Netflix.

British royal family news reveals that comic actress Amy Schumer got in on the action and had some fun at Meghan Markle’s expense. The “Trainwreck” actress’ quick wit was on display in an Instagram video posted over the weekend.

She seemed to poke fun at one scene in Markle’s train wreck of a cooking show, With Love, Meghan. Markle got Mindy Kaling to join her in a rental while they dished on kid’s parties and Meghan’s new name during filming of the Netflix show. Here’s what to know about Meghan’s latest folly.

British royal family news reveals that since bagging her magic prince, Meghan Sussex of Markle has made many statements about her childhood.

Not all of her statements have gone uncorrected. After five years of listening to La Meghan, discrepancies in her childhood tales are now glaringly apparent.

Between her Netflix reality show named for herself and the recently dropped Netflix show “With Love, Meghan” plus everything in between, here are some of the Duchess of Sussex’s inconsistencies regarding her upbringing.

Meghan Markle Was a Latchkey Kid

Talking down to Mindy Kaling in “With Love, Meghan” Meghan Markle claimed she was a feral kid: “I was a latchkey kid” a notion her estranged father Thomas Markle Sr. disputes.

He told the Daily Mail “After school I would either pick her up myself and we’d go out to eat or I’d send a car to bring her to the...

Meghan Markle is forging ahead.

Critics be damned.

As you’ve likely heard, Markle is starring in a Netflix series that most viewers believe to be truly awful.

The former actress, and wife of Prince Harry, seems intent on rebuilding her reputation/changing the narrative/making lots of money, however… because she isn’t done relaunching her entertainment career.

The American version of The Office is now 20 years old. Some of the talents involved with the hit series took some time to reflect on bringing it to life two decades ago with its earlier episodes, divulging how three of the show's writers wound up pulling double duty as on-screen actors.

Per THR, series creator Greg Daniels shared how B.J. Novak was the first person who was hired for the show. It was planned from the start for Novak to work as both a writer and an actor, and that resulted in him playing Ryan beginning with the very first episode. Daniels said he picked Novak first after recognizing his skills, noting, "It just felt to me like this is a really good place for writer-performers. I wanted to have a writer-performer vibe in the show."

It was different with Mindy Kaling, who played customer service rep Kelly Kapoor. Kaling...

Twenty years ago, NBC premiered a new sitcom based on a hit U.K. series. The Office debuted on March 24, 2005, and was not an immediate hit in its initial six-episode run. The show struggled to find its footing out of the block, with several episodes virtually xeroxed from the storylines of its British predecessor created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant and transplanted, often clunkily, to Scranton, Pa. But soon enough showrunner Greg Daniels found his groove and leaned into the strengths of his formidable ensemble, led by Steve Carell, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, and Rainn Wilson.

The Office would go on to become a must-see TV staple, running nine seasons and earning five Emmys in 42 nominations — and then becoming a hit all over again as a new generation rediscovered and binged The Office when it hit streaming. Until 2023, The Office held the record as most-streamed series, with more than 57 billion minutes watched.

On March 24, 2005, NBC aired the first episode of The Office, an American remake of the universally acclaimed, Golden Globe-winning BBC comedy of the same name. The premiere, a mockumentary that introduced the staff of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company’s branch in Scranton, Pennsylvania, pulled in a decent-sized audience that night. It drew 11.2 million viewers following an episode of The Apprentice — but even with that start, expectations for the show were not high.

NBC had produced a pilot for The Office, written by King of the Hill co-creator Greg Daniels, in early 2004, just after Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s BBC show won the Golden Globe for best comedy and Gervais took home the award for best actor in a comedy. The network ordered the show to series that spring but picked up only five more episodes. After premiering on a Thursday, the remaining episodes ran on Tuesday nights, where it struggled.

Nothing destroys a film's momentum quite like bombing at the box office. While poorly received movies can still be successful should they gross a lot of money, even the most critically acclaimed film is considered a failure if it fails to make its money back upon release. Walt Disney's entertainment juggernaut is all too familiar with financially destitute films, as not every picture can be a winner.

Most know Walt Disney Studios for its load of successful Marvel, animated, and Star Wars movies, Disney's films are all over the list of the worst box office bombs of all time as well. From the well-known to the more forgotten, Disney has made its mark in the annals of most successful and least successful films. But some flopped so badly as to be considered the very bottom of the bottom.

This week marks the 20th anniversary of The Office, the groundbreaking NBC sitcom that redefined workplace comedy and launched the careers of several cast members. Since the show’s debut on March 24, 2005, many of its stars have gone on to successful careers in television and film, earning critical acclaim and industry recognition — but the ensemble surprisingly did not have the greatest success when it came to Emmy Awards.

Leading man Steve Carell starred as Michael Scott, the endearingly incompetent regional manager of the Scranton branch of paper company Dunder Mifflin. He received six Emmy nominations for Best Comedy Actor during his time on The Office and four Best Comedy Series nominations as part of the show’s creative team, which included creator Greg Daniels, who developed the series from the original U.K. version created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. Carell then returned to the Emmys in 2020 when he...

Meghan Markle’s latest Netflix show, titled, With Love, Meghan hasn’t been received well. It has not only divided the internet but also the royal family. Despite its negative reception, Kate Middleton is quite pleased with the show.

So now, it’s Middleton’s reaction to the lifestyle series that has sparked intrigue. But what does this mean for the royal dynamic, and why exactly is the Duchess of Sussex facing such intense backlash?

If you find yourself laughing out loud while watching the new sports comedy Running Point, you're not alone. The Netflix hit is "a return to traditional comedy," showrunner-producer David Stassen tells Gold Derby, and it also provides viewers with that "big feel" they've been "craving."

Cocreated by Stassen, Elaine Ko, Mindy Kaling, and Ike Barinholtz, Running Point stars Kate Hudson as Isla Gordon, a former party girl who becomes the president of the Los Angeles Waves basketball team. The family-owned business includes older brother Cam (Justin Theroux), middle brother Ness (Scott MacArthur), and younger brother Sandy (Drew Tarver), plus surprise half-brother Jackie (Fabrizio Guido).

The 10-episode first season of Running Point dropped Feb. 27 on Netflix, and it was picked up for Season 2 days later. The series is eligible at the 2025 Emmys in the comedy categories.

Here is our full interview with Stassen, which includes spoilers for the full Season 1.

There's some unfortunate news out of Essex College: School's out forever... well, maybe. Max announced on Tuesday, March 18 that The Sex Lives of College Girls season 4 isn't happening. The hit college comedy series was sadly canceled after three hilarious seasons, leaving fans heartbroken and mourning one of the last great young adult comedy series on television.

In the wake of the cancellation announcement, The Sex Lives of College Girls co-creator and showrunner Justin Noble took to Instagram to share a long and heartfelt statement about the series' cancellation, and even revealed that discussions have been taking place with other streamers to save the series and that "there is so much interest." That's a silver lining at least!

Beyond addressing the show's current fate, Noble shared his gratitude for his collaborator, co-creator and executive producer Mindy Kaling, along with Warner Bros. and Max, the cast, writers, crew, and most of all the fans.

After three seasons on Max, the streamer has opted not to renew The Sex Lives of College Girls for a fourth season.

Following news of the show’s cancellation, co-creators Justin Noble and Mindy Kaling have taken to social media to honor the series.

Noble shared an Instagram post in which he said there are “discussions with some new potential homes for the show,” adding, “But regardless of what happens, I’m proud of this show and the work that so many incredibly talented people put into it.”

The showrunner said this was “not the outcome that I saw coming,” noting the series was “listed as the most watched or second most watched scripted show on the entire platform, for about 70 straight days.”

“I can’t help but mention that it feels like there are fewer and fewer comedy series every month — and we are living in an era where we need that comedy badly,...

Two months after The Sex Lives of College Girls ended its third season, Max has canceled the raunchy comedy series that centers around four roommates at Essex College in Vermont. Per Deadline, the Warner Bros. series, co-created by and executive produced by Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble, is looking for a new home.

Warner Bros., the producing studio behind The Sex Lives of College Girls,is reportedly seeking a way to take the show to a fourth season, possibly with Netflix, as Kaling has a long relationship with the streamer. However, the move may be a long shot. Deadline stated that a rep for Warner Bros. Television declined to comment on the matter.

The Sex Lives of College Girls starred Reneé Rapp, Pauline Chalamet, Amrit Kaur, Alyah Chanelle Scott, Renika Williams, Christopher Meyer, and Ilia Isorelýs Paulino.

The Departure of one of the Series Stars May Have Been its Downfall...

Max has decided to cancel the excellent The Sex Lives of College Girls after three seasons. Created by Mindy Kaling, The Sex Lives of College Girls debuted on Max in November 2021 and followed the journey of four new freshman suite mates attending the fictional Essex College, played by Pauline Chalamet, Amrit Kaur, Alyah Chanelle Scott, and Reneé Rapp. While Rapp left in the second episode of Season 3, Mia Rogers and Gracie Lawrence joined the show to fill out the sophomore year setting, which will seemingly act as the last.

Variety confirms that Max has officially canceled The Sex Lives of College Girls after three seasons. The series is reportedly being shopped to other platforms for a possible Season 4, but Warner Bros. Television did not comment on the situation. The news comes nearly two months after the Season 3 finale, now seemingly the series finale, aired on Jan. 23, 2025.

The Sex Lives of College Girls...

The Sex Lives of College Girls is shuttering its school doors at Max after three seasons on the streamer. Max will not be producing additional episodes of the coming of age drama, co-created and produced by Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble.

Despite the show’s cancellation on Max, announced Tuesday, Warner Bros. Television is looking to keep the show alive on neighboring streamers. Kaling, for example, has a working relationship with Netflix. She co-created the Kate Hudson-starring series Running Point, released on Netflix last month, and the popular drama Never Have I Ever.

You wouldn’t expect Running Point, a comedy about a dynastic basketball family, to open with a reference to Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, but nothing about Mindy Kaling’s latest show is predictable. Running Point, written by longtime friends and collaborators Kaling, David Stassen, and Ike Barinholtz, puts a fresh spin on the quintessential sports underdog story, with a wayward but lovable family at its core.

Enter the Gordons — the clan who run the fictional Los Angeles Waves team in Running Point. As Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson) puts it, striding confidently across a squeaky court in a black power suit, “Our business is the greatest basketball franchise in the history of the game: the Los Angeles Waves. And this is the story of the fucked-up family that runs it.” Watch Isla and the rest of the Gordon family in action in the first four minutes of Season 1, above.

On Tuesday afternoon, Max left many viewers stunned when it canceled The Sex Lives of College Girls.

The comedy series was rare in that it was genuinely funny, with powerhouse performances from its leads, Pauline Chalamet, Amrit Kaur, Reneé Rapp, and Alyah Chanelle Scott.

Simply put, the series cut through a world with a lot of TV, which rarely happens.

The cancellation occurred mere months after the conclusion of the third season, leaving everyone wondering where the series could go next.

Instead of the cliffhangers we were accustomed to with the first two seasons, most storylines were closed up reasonably well, hinting that creatives were unsure about the show’s prospects.

Teen-focused series on Max don’t tend to stand the test of time, as evidenced by the Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars reboots being scrapped after their sophomore seasons.

As a result,...

The Sex Lives of College Girls has been canceled by Max.

On Tuesday (March 18), it was announced that Max will not pick up the show for a fourth season. The show’s producers are reportedly attempting to re-home the series with Netflix, according to Deadline.

Creator Mindy Kaling has an established relationship with Netflix, as she has co-created and executive produced shows Never Have I Ever and Running Point with the streaming service.

Renee Rapp, who played Leighton Murray, departed The Sex Lives of College Girls during season 3. This is believed to have impacted the show’s drop in viewership and critical response, potentially attributing to Max’s decision to cancel.

The series premiered on Max in 2021, and the season 3 finale aired in January 2025. It also stars Pauline Chalamet, Amrit Kaur, Alyah Chanelle Scott, Christopher Meyer, Ilia Isorelýs Paulino, Renika Williams, Gracie Lawrence, and Mia Rodgers.

The Sex Lives of College Girls has been canceled after three seasons on Max, but the show will attempt to find a new home. Co-created by Mindy Kaling, the dramedy series follows four first-year roommates at the fictional Essex College in Vermont, focusing specifically on their sexually active lifestyles as they navigate the complexities of early adulthood. The Sex Lives of College Girls' cast includes Pauline Chalamet, Amrit Kaur, Reneé Rapp, Alyah Chanelle Scott, Gavin Leatherwood, Ilia Isorelýs Paulino, and many more.

Now, the show has come to an end, at least for now. According to Deadline, The Sex Lives of College Girls has officially been canceled at Max after three seasons, but Warner Bros. Television has reportedly been exploring options to keep the show alive, with Netflix being a possible landing spot, but is considered a long shot due to the complexities of such a move. Wbtv declined to comment on the report.

The Sex Lives of College Girls has been canceled after three seasons at Max, but production company Warner Bros. Television is exploring finding a new home for the series, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

The Mindy Kaling co-created coming-of-age comedy’s most recent season wrapped in January and saw the departure of original castmember Reneé Rapp, who left two episodes into the latest run.

Sex Lives ran a mostly cliffhanger-free third-season finale leading some viewers to wonder if this was the end of the show, even though the characters were only midway through their sophomore year and the series was pretty consistently near the top of Max’s top 10 list of most-viewed shows (though that didn’t translate to making Nielsen’s wider top 10 streaming charts).

Co-showrunner Justin Noble, who oversaw the show with Kaling, insisted at the time that the episode wasn’t meant to wrap up the series.

“The Sex Lives of College Girls” is not moving forward for a fourth season at Max.

The college-set series, which was co-created by Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble, was canceled at Max after three seasons, TheWrap learned Tuesday. The news came less than two months after “The Sex Lives of College Girls” debuted its Season 3 finale in late January, which saw an unexpected coming out story for Amrit Kaur’s Bela, as well as an emotional moment for transfer student Kacey (Gracie Lawrence).

Despite the cancellation at Max, Noble is hoping to find a new home for the Warner Bros. TV series, and shared on social media the show is “in discussions with some potential new homes for the show.”

“Unfortunately, Max has decided not to order a fourth season,” Noble wrote in a social media post Tuesday. “We are currently in discussions with some new potential homes for the show,...

“Sex Lives of College Girls” has been canceled at Max, Variety has confirmed.

The series aired for three seasons at the Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service. Season 3 of the show debuted in November, with the season finale airing on Jan. 25. The show itself originally premiered on Max in 2021.

Mindy Kaling co-created the series with Justin Noble under her overall deal with studio Warner Bros. Television. Per the official logline, it “follows a group of college students at New England’s prestigious Essex College.”

Reps for Wbtv declined to comment, but according to an individual with knowledge of the situation, the studio is currently shopping the show to other outlets.

The cast for Season 3 included Pauline Chalamet, Amrit Kaur, Alyah Chanelle Scott, Christopher Meyer, Ilia Isorelýs Paulino, Renika Williams, Gracie Lawrence, and Mia Rodgers. Reneé Rapp was a series regular for the first two seasons, but only recurred in Season 3 and...

Netflix's latest sports comedy, which debuted late last month, is off to a flying start. Running Point, starring the talented Kate Hudson in its lead role, was renewed for a second season just one week after its release. Given that Netflix takes its time to analyze the numbers before renewing a series, the incredibly quick renewal of Running Pointstands as a testament to the faith that the streamer has in the series.

Created for screens by Mindy Kaling, alongside Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen, Running Point centers on the Gordon family and their legacy in professional basketball. Loosely drawing inspiration from real life, the series chronicles its protagonist, Isla Gordon, as she navigates leading the Los Angeles Waves Basketball team. Her path isn't easy, as she faces challenge after challenge from her team, her family, and even her romantic partner. However, in weaving a narrative of both heart and humor,...

Timeless rom-coms don’t come frequently, requiring a level of chemistry that simply cannot be faked. However, when they do, they leave an impact that lasts decades. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days was one such film, predominantly because of the dynamic that Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey shared.

When a couple has chemistry as good as Andie and Ben had in the 2003 classic, fans are forced to wonder if the lead stars actually share a similar connection in real life. While most actors are simply just really good at what they do, sometimes lines can blur and feelings are caught.

With this, the question arises—what happened between Hudson and McConaughey in real life?

British royal family news divulges that Meghan Markle admitted she was wrong after her Netflix show was destroyed by critics unimpressed with flower food.

She claims to have made some mistakes in life but declared she is learning something new every day. She made the comments in an interview with the bookshop Godmothers.

Among the talking points are that she reads books to Prince Harry’s kids Archie, five, and Lilibet, three, and her newest non-failed lifestyle brand, As Ever, is her “heartsong.”

Meghan Markle is a Mom Who Reads Books to Kids

According to the Daily Mail the Douchess of Sussex “suffered a string of savage reviews and wide-ranging critical derision for her lifestyle series With Love, Meghan.”

But the haterade didn’t phase Meghan, who insisted that she is fully committed to the “creative process” and enjoys “nurturing” her brand. She said ‘Right now! I’m launching my business,...

Netflix's Running Pointdebuted on February 27, 2025, and instantly rose to the top of the streamer's charts. The series currently claims the coveted #1 spot on Netflix's weekly Global Top 10 Shows with over 12 million views. Developed for screens by the talented Mindy Kaling, alongside Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen, and starring powerhouse Kate Hudson, Running Point was off to a flying start from the get-go.

The heartfelt and endearing narrative of the series blends professional basketball with family dynamics and unassuming humor, making Running Point the perfect binge-watch. Revolving around Kate Hudson's Isla Gordon, the only sister in the Gordon family, the series chronicles Isla's behemoth task of helming the Los Angeles Waves basketball team when the presidency is abruptly handed to her by her elder brother. In doing so, Running Point touches on poignant themes, including familial relationships, love, legacy and personal growth, taking the series much further than amounting to a mere comedy.

Meghan Markle’s Netflix show is finally here y’all, and lips are buzzing like the bees the Duchess keeps. For one thing, fans were expecting some kind of gossip about the Royal Family.

And why not? Her last show appearance in ‘Harry and Meghan’ saw her mentioning them left and right.

But not anymore. If you want any future royal gossips, you won’t be getting it from this Duchess it seems.

Prince Harry Only Shows Up In Meghan Markle’s Lifestyle Show’s Finale Episode

Meghan Markle is proving that she means lifestyle business by keeping the royal topics to the bare minimum. Apart from telling Mindy Kaling that she now goes by the last name Sussex, the 43-year-old Duchess did her best to showcase how passionate she is about lifestyle.

She brought a tremendous amount of energy to doing things like writing shopping lists, cooking, cleaning, beekeeping and even entertaining guests.

The trailer for Nisha Ganatra’s “Freakier Friday,” starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, has been unveiled. The film is a sequel to the 2003 comedy “Freaky Friday,” starring Curtis and Lohan as mother-daughter duo Tess and Anna Coleman.

According to a press release from The Walt Disney Company, the sequel features a “multigenerational twist,” with the film picking up many years after Tess and Anna originally swapped bodies. Anna has a daughter of her own, plus a soon-to-be stepdaughter. Tess and Anna navigate the challenges that come with merging two families and “discover that lightning might indeed strike twice.” The trailer reveals that this time it’s a four-way body swap as Anna, Tess and Anna’s daughter and step-daughter all wake up in different bodies.

Joining Curtis and Lohan are returning stars Chad Michael Murray, Mark Harmon, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky and Rosalind Chao.

Meghan Markle shows no sign of stopping anytime soon. The Duchess is reportedly returning to the podcast spotlight, this time with a different show, Confessions of a Female Founder.

Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Meghan Markle has navigated the world of business, entertainment, and philanthropy. She forged a path that contrasts sharply with her former royal life. From launching a lifestyle brand to striking multi-million dollar deals with Netflix, Markle pursued a variety of ventures, designing a personal brand.

While some of her projects have received critical acclaim, others have been met with less enthusiasm. Her recent Netflix lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan, has gained a lot of negative criticism, especially from UK critics. However, her shows still managed to catch viewers’ attention. Here is a rundown list of Markle’s key ventures since leaving the royal family.

In 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle signed a high-paying deal worth $100 million with Netflix, shortly after leaving the royal family.

Meghan Markle’s estranged father, Thomas Markle, has slammed his daughter’s new Netflix show, “With Love, Meghan” and claims, “Meghan has never been authentic” and is “out of touch with the real world.”

Mr. Markle Is Offended By Meghan Insisting She Is Called “Meghan Sussex”

Mr. Markle is also not too keen on Meghan, insisting that she be called “Meghan Sussex.” In what many viewers dubbed an “astonishingly rude moment,” Meghan corrected her celebrity friend, Mindy Kaling.

She said,

“It’s so funny you keep saying Meghan Markle, you know I’m a Sussex now.”

Meghan claimed that Sussex is a meaningful last name she shares with her kids. However, she’s still trying to capitalize on her royal title.

Mr. Markle explained,

“My mum loved Meghan very much but would be so disappointed to hear that Meghan no longer wants to use the name ‘Markle.’ My mother was proud to be a Markle.

For many of us, Meghan Markle’s Netflix cooking show was a big leap for the Duchess because she kept all things royal to the very minimum.

Apart from a few Princess Diana nods here and there and telling Mindy Kaling that she now prefers to go by the last name Sussex, Meghan just cooked, cleaned, and carried on.

However, a former defender has somehow spotted one tiny detail that made her doubt the genuineness of her story.

Exclusive: Netflix’s The Residence, which was originally announced as a drama and feels like a limited series with its season-long murder mystery format, will be submitted as a comedy for awards consideration, starting with the upcoming Emmys.

The move is not entirely surprising as the Shondaland-produced whodunit, starring Uzo Aduba and Randall Park, has a strong comedic bent in the vein of Hulu’s Only Murders In the Building. Actually, in what is likely a first, we have three murder mysteries among the strong Emmy series contenders in the comedy categories this year, returning nominees Only Murders In the Building and Peacock’s anthology Poker Face, joined by The Residence. All three have a female single lead or co-lead.

Of the three, only Only Murders is in the traditional half-hour-ish format, while Poker Face and The Residence are in the 46-60 minute episode range commonly associated with drama series,...

Meghan Markle is one of the most talked-about members of the royal family.

Royal drama aside, the 43-year-old Duchess of Sussex has also built a career that spans acting, philanthropy and entrepreneurship – both before and after taking on the title of Duchess.

Naturally, people are curious to know what is Meghan‘s estimated net worth.

As of March 2025, Meghan Markle is estimated to be worth $60 million.

Before her marriage into the British royal family with Prince Harry, Meghan established herself as an actress, most notably for her role as Rachel Zane on Suits.

In 2020, Meghan and Prince Harry stepped back from their roles as senior members of the British royal family, seeking financial independence. This transition led to the establishment of Archewell, an organization encompassing various media and philanthropic initiatives.

Under the Archewell umbrella, Meghan launched “Archetypes,” a podcast series aimed at exploring the...

John Mulaney returned to Netflix last night with his Everybody’s in L.A., er, Everybody’s Live comedy talk show. The show continues to be a chaotic, occasionally inspired mess — more on that below — but its live nature might be the best reason to stream in real time. Mulaney appears intent on booking eclectic wild cards as guests, and the strategy paid off last night with legendary folk singer and political activist Joan Baez.

Last night’s hour was built around a hodgepodge of celebrities giving live callers advice about lending and borrowing money. After a segment featuring Michael Keaton and a personal finance expert, the panel expanded to bring in Fred Armisen and Baez.

“Joan Baez, it is an honor to have you on this show,” Mulaney began.

“You say that in 10 minutes,” she cautioned, well aware of what she wanted to bring to the table.

Mulaney kicked...

British royal family news reveals that Harry, the Duke of Sussex appeared without Meghan Markle at a concert meant to raise money for victims of the LA wildfires.

Their last appearance to support the victims ended in disaster as they toted around a personal camera crew while rummaging through the charred remains of people houses.

The event was the One805 Rock for Responders benefit at The Granada Theatre in Santa Barbara, California. Harry was seen talking to first responders but we have no idea how much money he and Grifter personally donated.

Harry Skips Meghan for Charity Event

Harry left his two kids behind as well, even though we got glimpses of Lilibet’s head for International Women’s Day on Saturday when Meghan posted a controversial shot of daddy and daughter in a boat with no protective gear on.

The horrific blazes destroyed nearly 18,000 structures with tens of thousands...

Viewers like Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, but they like her even better when she’s with her husband, Prince Harry.

Meghan Markle’s latest Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, premiered on March 4. Though it was a strong start, the numbers were far from the massive success of her previous project with Netflix, Harry & Meghan. The show’s ratings didn’t match the audience turnout for the docuseries about the couple’s personal and professional life in 2022.

British royal family news divulges that the crew on Meghan Markle’s Netflix cookery show are speaking out about how she treated them. And you may be surprised.

According to those who worked on her intimate series (filmed in a rental), the first season was a treat. Not an actual treat Meghan baked. But she did give them stuff and we’re here to learn what.

Did Meghan Cook for the Crew of Her Netflix Show?

After a long delay, Markle’s cooking show, With Love, Meghan dropped last week with eight episodes. Spectacular names such as Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer were on hand to be insulted by her.

We saw how Meghan cosplayed being a beekeeper and arranging kiddie parties.

The Daily Mail reports that “Markle took care of the crew by providing them with an array of beverages and snacks on set.”

A crew member told People...

David Stassen might have been cosmically intended to work on Running Point. The showrunner, who produces and writes the basketball comedy with longtime collaborators Ike Barinholtz and Mindy Kaling, explains as much in front of a prominently placed box of Wheaties on his bookcase during a February Zoom. “I’m a huge Chicago basketball fan,” says Stassen, who grew in the city with Barinholtz. “That is the 1991 Bulls — original and unopened.”

The mummified “Breakfast of Champions” adds to Stassen’s cred on Netflix’s instantly renewed Kate Hudson vehicle, though not as much as the string of projects he’s made with his producing partner. After meeting at summer camp and eventually attending high school together — and slight detour for Stassen at ESPN’s Washington, D.C., studio — he and Barinholtz got their big break in the writers room for The Mindy Project. They co-wrote Central Intelligence, and Stassen produced...

Meghan Markle’s new Netflix show, “With Love, Meghan,” is the Sussexes “Hail Mary” to try to salvage their lucrative $100 million dollar deal with the streaming giant.

The Duchess of Sussex recently celebrated the renewal of her banal and poorly reviewed lifestyle series for a second season, which airs in the fall.

Netflix Already Filmed The “Second Season”

That being said, Netflix insiders have revealed the truth behind the curtain, which is that the second season was shot back-to-back with season one last year.

When Meghan made the announcement of a second season, she acted like it was a surprise her show was “renewed,” and on March 7th, she was seen celebrating her “success” and waving her arms in the air in supposed victory.

“It’s not a runaway success,”

The insider explained. According to the Daily Mail,

“With Love, Meghan has dropped out of the top ten most watched...

Executive producers Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Mindy Kaling and Dev Patel are lending their star power to global impact campaign #StandWithHer, inspired by director Nisha Pahuja’s Oscar-nominated documentary “To Kill a Tiger.”

Launching on Wednesday in New York City, the campaign aims to combat gender-based violence worldwide through a partnership between Pahuja and NGOs Equality Now, Equimundo, MenEngage Alliance and the Ramesh and Kalpana Bhatia Family Foundation.

“Gender-based violence is a global crisis, yet too often, it remains hidden in the shadows,” Chopra Jonas said in a statement. “I am honored to support the #StandWithHer campaign, inspired by Nisha’s powerful documentary ‘To Kill a Tiger,’ to help drive meaningful change.”

The documentary, which is streaming on Netflix, chronicles the story of Ranjit, a farmer in Jharkhand, India, who fights for justice for his 13-year-old daughter after she is sexually assaulted by three men. Despite facing social ostracization, death threats,...

No one, really no one, was thinking that all the world needs right now is an old-fashioned lifestyle series on Netflix with the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, as the host. Did the streaming platform still deliver it? Yes, and the lemon-honey-floral-themed cover is impossible to miss. Released on March 4 and consisting of 8 episodes, With Love, Meghan is meant to be a fun, whimsical lifestyle series, capturing the essence of the Duchess as she shares her little tips and tricks with the world. In reality, though, it’s… well, let’s just say different.

Meghan is not only the face of With Love, Meghan (shocker), but she also co-produced the show with Prince Harry’s Archwell Productions, which received a $100 million deal. A lot could have gone right with a project like this, but somehow, the Duchess failed to hit the right tone. To top it off, With Love, Meghan...

Kate Hudson is a certified rom-com queen. She has a long list of successful and beloved films but has now switched to television with a new comedy series, Running Point.

The Netflix original series premiered on the platform on Feb. 27, and since then, it has become a major hit. It debuted strongly in the charts in its first week and received positive reviews from both critics and the audience. Per Tudum, the sports comedy series continues to be popular, and it has thrown its shot and managed to make it to the first spot.

In its first week, Kate Hudson's Running Point debuted in third place with 9.3 million views and 47.2 million hours viewed. It was just behind Robert De Niro's limited series Zero Day and the docuseries American Murder: Gabby Petito. However, it quickly started to gain terrain.

In its second week on the platform, Running Point added even more views.
