Dan Levy’s new crime comedy, Big Mistakes, follows two deeply incapable siblings who are blackmailed into the world of organized crime. The eight-episode series promises a hilariously chaotic ride, a dysfunctional family dynamic, and dark comedy with a unique twist. The creator and star of the Emmy-winning Schitt’s Creek is returning to television with this new Netflix comedy.

Netflix just revealed the title and the key details of the series. Levy stars as one of the siblings, Nicky, alongside Taylor Ortega as Morgan, his equally hapless sister. This marks Levy’s first scripted series under his overall deal with Netflix, following his successful directorial debut with Good Grief.

Over five years after Schitt’s Creek ended, Dan Levy’s upcoming comedy series Big Mistakes is set to bring together another all-star cast for the actor/director. WhileSchitt’s Creek eventually abandoned its original premise and this made the cult sitcom even better, Dan Levy’s show always had a great hook.

The cult series followed the Rose family, disgraced former multi-millionaires who relocated to the eponymous rural town after losing their fortune. There, they acclimated to a simpler life as Schitt’s Creek made Johnny Rose, his wife Moira, and their children David and Alexis more likable and relatable with each passing season.

Dan Levy’s Upcoming Sitcom Big Mistakes Features A Blend of Stars and Newcomers The Eight-Episode Series Arrives Over Five Years After Schitt’s Creek Ended

While the end of Schitt’s Creek was a well-liked finale, the sitcom’s creator, Dan Levy, has been quiet in the five years since.

"The Big Bang Theory" ended in 2019, and one of the many legacies that the long-running and beloved CBS sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady left behind is that the series was filled with extraordinary guest stars and supporting players. Some of them, in fact, are set to star in their own spin-off. The second major "Big Bang Theory" spin-off after the success of "Young Sheldon", titled "Stuart Fails to Save the Universe," will feature Kevin Sussman, Lauren Lapkus, Brian Posehn, and John Ross Bowie, all of whom played great recurring roles on the first series.

It's great that those actors — who played Stuart Bloom, Denise, Bert Kibbler, and Barry Kripke on the original show, respectively — are returning for more screen time. Though we don't know if Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Johnny Galecki, Kunal Nayyar, Simon Helberg, Melissa Rauch, or...

Exclusive: Charlie Hall has joined the recurring cast of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s upcoming new season of Netflix’s “Monster” anthology series, which centers on murderer and suspected serial killer Ed Gein, played by Charlie Hunnam.

Known as the Butcher of Plainfield or the Plainfield Ghoul, Gein confessed to murdering two women in the 1950s and also allegedly made trophies out of bodies and skin of corpses he exhumed from graveyards. He is suspected of having been responsible for the deaths of others, including his brother Henry, but the authorities were unable to connect him definitively to any of the cases.

Gein’s story inspired the Leatherface character in Tobe Hooper’s 1974 horror classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and largely inspired Robert Bloch’s novel Psycho, which was later adapted to film with Alfred Hitchcock directing. He...

In the nascent days of the pandemic, many found themselves participating in activities that would otherwise have been deemed out-of-character (see: sourdough, jigsaw puzzles, ceramics.) Alden Ehrenreich, the actor who played a young Han Solo and has worked with everyone from the Coen Brothers to Park Chan-wook, found himself Googling Los Angeles commercial real estate.

For years, Ehrenreich would walk into various spaces — friends’ houses, restaurants, anywhere with a semi-raised platform, really — and offer the same refrain: “You could do a theater here.” The pandemic-induced downtime gave him the space to finally pursue a long-held desire to open a theater in Los Angeles. And the Google search led him to Huron Substation, a historical building in the Cypress Park neighborhood in the northeast of the city.

Originally built as a service station for Los Angeles’s one-time Yellow trolley cars up until the 1960s, Huron has been more recently used...

Stephen Colbert will guest star on the CBS crime dramedy Elsbeth, playing a fictional late-night talk show host. According to Vulture, filming for Colbert’s guest spot took place in New York this week, suggesting the role was likely planned before CBS announced on July 17 that The Late Show With Stephen Colbert will end next spring.

Elsbeth star Carrie Preston recently spoke to Gold Derby about the impressive roster of guest stars the show has attracted, including Laurie Metcalf, Pamela Adlon, Tracey Ullman, and Matthew Broderick. Preston reflected on working alongside performers she admires.

“It was a couple of times where some of my idols were on the show. These are actors that I want to be like and I am inspired by. And to have them come on the show was really extraordinary," she said.

Colbert’s own involvement appears to have stemmed from a February appearance by Elsbeth...

Back in July 2025, CBS announced that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert would be coming to an end after the 2025–26 season. While this left fans of the beloved talk show disappointed and uncertain about Colbert’s future in late-night, the good news is that the Emmy-winning host isn’t disappearing from television just yet.

Following news of the show's cancellation, we've learned that Colbert is stepping into a brand-new talk show role on a hit CBS police procedural. This will be his first scripted acting appearance since the cancellation announcement.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Colbert is set to appear as a guest star in the upcoming Elsbeth season 3. He will play a character named Scotty Bristol, who is the host of a fictional late-night program called Way Late With Scotty Bristol. What a perfect fit for Colbert. Although he's not playing himself, it should be an easy transition for...

De acuerdo con Deadline, Ella Beatty (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You) será Lizzie Borden, la mujer que en 1892 fue juzgada (aunque finalmente absuelta) por asesinar a su padre y a su madrastra a golpe de hacha en Massachusetts, en la cuarta temporada de la serie antológica de Netflix Monstruos. Y no solo eso: también se unen a esta cuarta entrega Rebecca Hall (The Studio) como la madrastra de Borden y Vicky Krieps (El hilo invisible) como una sirvienta.

No es la primera vez que dicho caso se adapta a la pantalla. Christina Ricci ya se metió en el papel en la miniserie The Lizzie Borden Chronicles, y Chloë Sevigny lo hizo en la película Lizzie, acompañada por Kristen Stewart en el reparto.

Greta Gerwig’s Directorial Movies Ranked Per Worldwide Box Office Collection (Photo Credit – Prime Video)

The multi-hyphenated star, Greta Gerwig, is an American actress, playwright, screenwriter, and director. Even though she began her career with mumblecore movies, Gerwig slowly expanded her excellence in acting to co-writing and ultimately to directing big studio projects, including films like Barbie. She has starred in movies like Frances Ha, Damsels in Distress, To Rome with Love, No Strings Attached, and many more.

However, with Lady Bird, which was released in 2017, Gerwig established herself in the world of direction. She has directed three movies so far, and her next one is reportedly in production. After gaining massive success with her last film, Barbie, the 41-year-old actress-turned-director has shifted her focus to fantasy projects and is now working on an adaptation of the popular saga, The Chronicles of Narnia.

However, before discussing more about the new Narnia movies,...

Netflix‘s true crime anthology series Monster is coming for a fourth season with America’s most notorious murder cases, the Lizzie Borden murders. She was accused of murdering both her father and stepmother with an axe. In 1892, she was a seemingly 32-year-old Sunday school teacher in Fall River, Massachusetts. Lizzy was innocent until her father and stepmother were found murdered in their home.

She became the prime suspect in the killing, which was committed with a hatchet. Although Lizzie was ultimately acquitted, public suspicion lingered for the rest of her life.

Now, Ryan Murphy‘s Monster: Season 4 will re-examine this chilling case. The Emmy-nominated crime series will focus on the events that led to the murders and the controversial trial that captivated the whole nation.

Announced on July 28, Monster season 4 will star actress Ella Beatty in the title role. According to Netflix Tudum and Deadline, the production is...

Dan Levy’s production company, called Not a Real Production Company, has tapped Anne-Marie McGintee as head of film and television.

McGintee, who was most recently the vice president of scripted programming at Ava DuVernay’s Array Filmworks, will now oversee all development and production for Not a Real Production Company, working to expand the company’s slate through its overall deal with Netflix.

The company’s upcoming programming includes the recently announced (and yet-to-be-titled) crime comedy series starring Levy, Taylor Ortega and Laurie Metcalf, as well as an upcoming documentary about the 1990s music festival Lilith Fair, which is set to premiere at Toronto International Film Festival. Not a Real Production Company’s first series was “The Big Brunch” on Max, and it also backed Levy’s directorial debut “Good Grief.”

Additionally, Rachel Fanning, who was hired in 2022 upon the founding of Not a Real Production Company, has been promoted to development executive.

“Monster” found its Lizzie Borden for Season 4. The Netflix anthology series cast Ella Beatty in the lead role for the next installment of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s hit true crime saga, TheWrap has learned.

The series also cast Rebecca Hall to play Lizzie’s stepmother Abby, and Vicky Krieps will play Bridget Sullivan, a maid in the Borden home. The news comes as Netflix prepares to debut Season 3 later this year, which will star Charlie Hunnam as serial killer Ed Gein.

The casting marks the return for all three actresses into the Murphy universe. Beatty, whose parents are Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, previously appeared in a recurring role on “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans” on FX. Hall is in the cast of Murphy’s upcoming FX drama “The Beauty” and Krieps is set to star in “Monster” Season 3.

The international aid community, which includes many top Hollywood donors, has been reeling since the White House effectively eviscerated Usaid at the start of Donald Trump’s second presidential term in January. After all, since World War II, America has been leading and shaping modern global policies and standards in humanitarian assistance.

The gutting cuts have shuttered the government agency and ended much of its critical fieldwork. Beyond relieving societal crises among the world’s most vulnerable populations, the multibillion-dollar programs also sought to reduce emergent threats from developing countries (such as infectious disease outbreaks) and act as a soft-power counterweight against geopolitical rivals including China and Russia. Now this expansive portfolio of challenges, ranging from health and education to economic development and disaster relief, is left to a cluster of nonprofit organizations whose own budgets have often been deeply hampered by the same forced austerity enacted by the Elon Musk...

It's been almost one year since Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story premiered on Netflix as the second season of Ryan Murphy's hit true crime anthology series Monster. Finally, we have a better idea of when to look out for season 3 later this fall on Netflix!

While the second season vies for 11 Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series and acting nods for Cooper Koch, Javier Bardem, and Chloë Sevigny in September, we won't be waiting much longer for the next installment. Ryan Murphy, co-creator and co-showrunner, has officially shared when Monster season 3 will premiere.

Even in a machine as massive as Hollywood, there's a finite pool of great talent when it comes to specific genres, and proving yourself as one of the experts in one field is likely to yield more work on similar shows. That's why actors who earned their chops on procedurals tend to keep appearing on one procedural drama after another. It's also why it's not uncommon to see established sitcom actors resurface on brand new comedy shows after they (and their old series with them) have spent some time away from the spotlight.

Usually, this is a case of individual actors entering a new show where they're surrounded by a combo cast of veterans from other series and perhaps a newcomer or two, with the ingredients combining to form a fresh new talent salad. However, there are exceptions, like the actor flow from "Roseanne" to "The Big Bang Theory." While...

La antología de crímenes reales Monstruos ya tiene nuevo caso entre manos. De acuerdo con Nexus Point News, la cuarta temporada girará en torno al caso Lizzie Borden, la mujer que en 1892 fue juzgada (aunque finalmente absuelta) por asesinar a su padre y a su madrastra a golpe de hacha en Massachusetts.

El casting para encontrar a la actriz que dé vida a Lizzie ya está en marcha, aunque Netflix todavía no ha hecho ningún anuncio oficial. El rodaje, si todo va según lo previsto, comenzaría este otoño.

Tony Award-winning performers Victoria Clark and Bd Wong and nominated playwrights Jocelyn Bioh, Jordan E. Cooper, Joshua Harmon, and James Ijames are among the 64 theater experts who will decide the nominees for the 2026 Tony Awards.

Other newcomers include A Strange Loop star and Tony nominee L Morgan Lee and Wong, who won the Featured Actor in a Play award in 1988 for M. Butterfly. Each committee member serves a three-year term, though the three years do not need to be consecutive.

Nominators need not be past Tony nominees or winners. The Tony Administration Committee invites an array of practitioners from Broadway and beyond who have past or present professional or...

Ryan Murphy and Netflix are in the process of developing a fourth installment of “Monster” that will follow Lizzie Borden, according to media reports.

The new season of the true crime anthology series will turn its attention to Borden, a woman who was tried and acquitted of the axe murders of her mother and father in 1892, though no one else was ever charged in the murders.

While “Monster” remains without a Season 4 renewal, the show is aiming for a potential shoot in the fall, with casting currently underway, per reports. Netflix declined to comment on this story.

The news comes ahead of the premiere of “Monster” Season 3, which centers on notorious 1950s grave robber, murderer and suspected serial killer Ed Gein, who served as inspiration for Norman Bates, the central character in Hitchcock’s classic 1960 film “Psycho.”

Charlie Hunnam stars as Gein, while Laurie Metcalf plays Gein’s mother Augusta,...

The ten-episode series Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (read our review Here) was such a huge success for the Netflix streaming service back in 2022 that Netflix ordered two more seasons of the show from its creators, Ian Brennan and American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy. Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story was released less than a year ago, and has had quite an impact on the real lives of the title characters. Right before that season premiered last September, it was announced that Sons of Anarchy‘s Charlie Hunnam had signed on to play murderer and graverobber Ed Gein in Monster season 3 (which is apparently called The Original Monster). Although that season doesn’t have a premiere date, it’s expected to be streaming by the end of the year. Now, Variety hears that Monster season 4 is already in the works, even though no official season 4 renewal has been announced,...

“Monster” Season 3 has yet to set a premiere date, but Season 4 of the hit Netflix anthology series is already in the works.

Variety has learned from sources that a fourth season focused on the Lizzie Borden case is currently prepping for a potential fall shoot, though no official Season 4 renewal has been announced at this time.

Reps for Netflix and Murphy declined to comment.

Borden lived in Massachusetts in the late 1800s. In 1892, she was accused of murdering both her father and her stepmother with an axe at their shared home. Borden was eventually acquitted of the crimes, but the brutal nature of the murders attracted nationwide attention and contributed to Borden’s place in popular culture.

The case has been the subject of numerous adaptations across a wide variety of media. Recent examples include “The Lizzie Borden Chronicles” TV series starring Christina Ricci and the film “Lizzie” starring Chloë Sevigny and Kristen Stewart.

Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan's Monster Season 3 has yet to land on Netflix, but we're already learning what we can expect from the fourth season of the popular anthology series. According to Nexus Point News, production for Monster Season 4 is set to begin this Fall, with that installment reportedly focusing on the infamous Lizzie Borden murders.

The Lizzie Borden murders refer to the infamous axe slayings of Andrew and Abby Borden that occurred in 1982 in Fall River, Massachusetts. Andrew was Lizzie's father, and was found brutally murdered in the downstairs of their home, while his wife, and Lizzie's stepmother, Abby, was found upstairs. Lizzie became the main suspect and was tried for the homicides, but was acquitted of the crimes by a jury. Though she was found not guilty, many thought she was responsible for the murders, on account of her reportedly attempting to purchase poison the day before...

An update has been revealed for the future of Ryan Murphy's Monster on Netflix. The news comes ahead of the arrival of the third season, which will feature Charlie Hunnam.

According to a new report by Nexus Point News, Monster Season 4 is already in early development with plans to start filming in Los Angeles this fall. The fourth season will reportedly adapt the story of the Lizzie Borden murders, focusing on Borden, her father, stepmother, and housekeeper. No one has yet been cast in these roles. Showrunner and executive producer Ian Brennan is set to write the season alongside Murphy.

Lizzie Borden infamously went on trial for the killings of her father and stepmother in 1892; the couple had been slaughtered with an axe. She was ultimately acquitted, but became forever known for the incident. The story of Borden has endured through pop culture, having been retold through film, TV,...

We're getting closer and closer to the first new show from Dan Levy since his Emmy Award-winning fan-favorite Schitt's Creek ended in 2020. Back in 2021, Levy signed an overall deal with Netflix, which has so far resulted in his feature directorial debut Good Grief, which he also starred in. Next up, Levy stars in the upcoming comedy series, which is allegedly titled Big Mistakes.

Netflix announced the comedy series from co-creators Levy and Rachel Sennott during the company's Upfronts presentation in May 2025, though the show's title hasn't been officially confirmed by Levy or the streamer.

Rudin and Barry Diller will produce Samuel D. Hunter’s new play “Little Bear Ridge Road,” which will run for a limited 18-week run this fall. “Little Bear Ridge Road” is set on the outskirts of a small Idaho town and follows an aunt and her long-estranged nephew as they find themselves with a crumbling house to sell.

Oscar-nominee Laurie Metcalf and Micah Stock, who played the same roles at the Steppenwolf Theatre Company, will star in the production with direction by Joe Mantello.

Producers Scott Rudin and Barry Diller announced today that Samuel D. Hunter’s Little Bear Ridge Road will premiere on Broadway for a limited 18-week run this fall in a production starring Laurie Metcalf and Micah Stock, under the direction of Joe Mantello.

Metcalf and Stock will reprise their acclaimed performances from the production’s world premiere last year at The Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago. Performances will begin on Tuesday, October 7, ahead of a Thursday, October 30 opening night at Broadway’s Booth Theatre.

Steppenwolf has opted not to participate in the Broadway production.

The production marks Rudin’s return to Broadway since his 2021 departure following allegations of bullying his staff. In a New York Times profile three months ago, Rudin announced his plans to resume his producing career, saying he has undergone “a decent amount of therapy.” He called his previous behavior “bone-headed” and “narcissistic.”

Ashley Benson, Emily Alyn Lind, Madelaine Petsch and Sadie Stanley have been tapped for the lead roles in “Pretty Babies,” an indie female friendship drama written and directed by Tyler-Marie Evans, who makes her feature debut.

Set to enter production later this summer, the film follows two teenage girls who run away to Hollywood, chasing stardom, but their dreams lead them into prostitution, trapping them in the dark underbelly of the sex work industry as they travel from Texas to California.

“’Pretty Babies’ is a love letter to Old Hollywood. We’re pushing into something new with this script, and

that excitement has been palpable from the start, and something felt by every collaborator,” said Evans.

Christine Vachon from Killer Films is producing, alongside Jordan Wagner from Wagner Entertainment. Benson will produce. Amanda Larney of Killer Films is associate producing.

“When I first met Tyler-Marie, I knew immediately there was something special about her.

Elsbeth‘s casting director stays busy with a constant rotation of guest stars to play killers of the week on the Columbo-inspired CBS procedural. The series has collected a star-studded guest list across two seasons that includes Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick (and his son!), Laurie Metcalf, Alyssa Milano, Mary-Louise Parker, David Alan Grier, Vanessa Williams, and more. And of course, Season 2 had a noteworthy recurring guest star in Michael Emerson, Carrie Preston‘s husband who came on as Elsbeth Tascioni’s arch nemesis. Casting director Findley Davidson already has her eye on her ideal guest star for Elsbeth Season 3. Discussing the guest star casting process, Davidson said it was harder to get talent booked in Season 1 when the show was still a relative unknown. While Preston’s character is a fan-favorite from The Good Wife and The Good Fight, the Elsbeth title didn’t immediately click for agents. “I’d call up somewhere like CAA,...

Julianne Nicholson, who played the joyous (and drug-addicted) character on Hacks Season 4, now leads the Best Comedy Guest Actress race, taking down longtime frontrunner Jamie Lee Curtis for The Bear, who won last year. Nicholson's Dance Mom, aka Mary Alice, was recruited by Paul W. Downs' Jimmy and Megan Stalter's Kayla to appear on Late Night With Deborah Vance as a way for the talk show-within-a-show to gain a younger audience. At first, Jean Smart's Deborah was hesitant to let the untested woman take the stage, until she realized it would annoy Hannah Einbinder's Ava, and then all bets were off.

While Tbbt fans might be aware of Laurie Metcalf as Sheldon Cooper’s religious and stern mother, the actress has many more mom roles in her resume than one might realise, including that of Andy’s mom, Mrs. Davis, in Pixar’s Toy Story franchise.

Throughout her decades-long career, she has delivered several portrayals of tough yet loving mothers in shows and movies such as The Big Bang Theory and Lady Bird, with the latter even earning her an Oscar nomination. However, tucked away in her impressive resume is her role as Mrs. Davis, Andy’s mom in the Toy Story franchise, a subtle and often overlooked performance.

When it comes to the Toy Story franchise, the main characters, primarily the toys like Woody and Buzz Lightyear, come to mind, even Andy, the boy at the center of the story.

Sam Rockwell wishes he got the chance to share the screen with a very good friend before his tragic passing.

In a new interview, the 56-year-old Oscar-winning actor admitted there are a few opportunities that were “squandered” that he now regrets.

Keep reading to find out more…“I had two opportunities, maybe three, and they were squandered and I regret that,” Sam shared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. “There’s a couple [of actors] — I could have worked with Nick Nolte, could have worked with Kurt Russell, really been kicking myself. Richard Jenkins. They’re still out there, there’s time.”

Sam went on to say that his biggest regret is not taking up the opportunity to work on-screen with the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, who died in 2014 from a drug overdose at the age of 46.

“But Phil, we were very close, we were good friends and he directed me and...

Although it’s been months since The Conners concluded its seven-season run, an intriguing update has come to light courtesy of Roseanne Barr. As fans know, Barr starred as the matriarch of the Conner family in the ABC sitcom Roseanne, which ran from October 18, 1988, to May 20, 1997, and was briefly revived from March 27 to May 22, 2018. She, however, wasn’t featured in the direct follow-up series and was the only original cast member not to be, even though she recently claimed that she was asked to make an appearance.

This may seem surprising to many, considering Barr’s history with Roseanne. Back in May 2018, the sitcom’s revival was eventually cancelled due to the actress’ racially “abhorrent” tweet directed at then-president Barack Obama’s former advisor Valerie Jarrett. At the time, President of ABC Entertainment Channing Dungey said in a statement:

"Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant, and inconsistent with our values,...

Carrie Preston has portrayed Elsbeth Tascioni — a delightfully unpredictable attorney — for more than 15 years. What began as a recurring character on The Good Wife evolved into a fan-favorite performance that continued on The Good Fight and now leads her own CBS series, Elsbeth, heading into its third season. With each iteration, Preston has peeled back more layers of Elsbeth’s eccentric persona, revealing a character as emotionally complex as she is offbeat.

“I love Elsbeth’s curiosity and her wonder and her positive attitude,” Preston tells Gold Derby. “It takes discipline to approach the world that way. It's infectious. I love getting inside of that mindset every day because it really helps me in my life.”

While “quirky” is often the go-to descriptor for Elsbeth, Preston believes there's more beneath the surface. “I don’t mind anyone calling her that, but that can be a little bit of a simplification,...

Before she sets foot in Radio City Music Hall this Sunday, actor Kara Young will have already made Tony Award history by becoming the first Black person to receive Tony acting nominations in four consecutive years, and only the second person overall. If she wins this Sunday, she will be the first Black person to win two consecutive Tonys.

And yet, the records don’t do Kara Young justice. The treasure is in each performance, one as different, complex and unfailingly compelling. In Lynn Nottage’s Clyde’s (2022) she played a former criminal who finds redemption as, of all things, a cook in a truck stop diner. The following season in Martyna Majok’s Cost of Living, she played Jess, a broke young woman who becomes a caregiver to a young man with cerebral palsy; and in 2024 she received a Tony Award for her featured role as Lutiebell Gussie Mae...

Kelsey Grammer has inhabited Dr. Frasier Crane on television for over 40 years (though not consecutively). Starting with his first appearance on "Cheers" in 1984, the acclaimed actor has taken the beloved psychiatrist from the friendly bar in Boston where everyone knows your name to his hometown of Seattle for a long-running spinoff and back to Boston for a short-lived (but hopefully extended) stint as a Harvard professor. He even stopped by Nantucket for an Emmy-nominated appearance at the tight-knit commuter airport on "Wings."

In all those years as Dr. Crane, Grammer has acted alongside a number of incredible guest stars. In fact, he encountered multiple in a single episode of "Frasier" since many prominent performers and personalities appeared as callers on the good doctor's popular radio show. Iconic "Superman" actor Christopher Reeve, rock music icon Eddie Van Halen, sitcom royalty Mary Tyler Moore, and prolific director Penny Marshall were just a...

When Norm Macdonald passed away in 2021, the world grieved deeply. Macdonald, with his deadpan delivery and deliberately tasteless jokes, often dealt in anti-humor by telling jokes so corny and dated that people laughed at Norm's audacity more than the joke itself. Just as many people were outraged as were impressed by the depths of his tastelessness during his stint on "Saturday Night Live," whereon he would openly and repeatedly mention the crimes and alleged horrific acts committed by celebrities like O.J. Simpson and Michael Jackson. Macdonald, like too many comedians of his generation, also made a series of transphobic jokes during his career, although he eventually (clumsily) apologized for them. "God bless trans people," he stated, "They should be given every right in the world, and anybody who wants to hurt them is bad."

Macdonald may have been appreciated, but he was never wholly mainstream, at least outside of standup and "SNL.

When Roseanne Barr was fired from the rebooted Roseanne in 2018, the producers decided that, in order to continue, the series would need to change. Instead of the sarcastic loudmouth Roseanne Conner as the center of her family, John Goodman’s Dan Conner, Laurie Metcalf’s Jackie Harris and Sara Gilbert’s Darlene Conner stepped in to fill the void, making it a show with a bit less attitude and an increased focus on grief in light of Barr’s character’s death. These changes allowed the show — now rebranded as The Conners — to last for seven seasons.

However, not all shows are smart enough to fully pivot after a cast departure. Instead, many just end up replacing that person with a new character who has pretty much the exact same personality. The hope, presumably, is to keep whatever dynamics a show already possesses.

Here are some of the best — and worst — examples…...
