Saturday Night Live, born October 11, 1975, died May 24, 1986.

That could have been the obituary for the late-night comedy institution, which nearly bit the dust after season 11, depriving America of all the SNL talents who came in later years like Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig, Tina Fey, Kate McKinnon, Adam Sandler, Jimmy Fallon and so many more.

Saturday Night Live’s near demise is the focus of one of the four episodes of the Emmy-nominated series SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night, executive produced by Oscar winner Morgan Neville. Kevin Nealon serves as a kind of Rod Serling-like host of the episode, explaining how the show’s “weird year” marked Lorne Michaels’ return to SNL after a five-year hiatus. Michaels came in with a whole new cast.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Kate Hudson (Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery) to the starting lineup of Running Point, the new comedy from Mindy Kaling (Never Have I Ever). After premiering Feb. 27 on Netflix, the series has already been renewed for a second season.

Running Point stars Hudson as Isla Gordon, a Los Angeles executive who is unexpectedly appointed head of the family business — which happens to be one of the most famous professional basketball franchises in the country — when her older brother publicly flames out and appoints her the new owner.

The Golden Globe winner and Academy Award–nominated actor is also an executive producer of the sitcom. Joining Hudson in the comedy are Scott MacArthur and Drew Tarver as Isla’s brothers, Max Greenfield as her fiancé, Brenda Song as a high-level team staffer, and more familiar faces on and off the court.

It's been an incredible year for new Netflix shows, and it's not even over yet! There have been so many great hits this year, including Adolescence, Ransom Canyon, Untamed, and the hilarious comedy series Running Point. The series from Mindy Kaling and starring Kate Hudson was an immediate hit, quickly earning a renewal for season 2 one week after its February premiere.

While we knew that Kaling and fellow co-creators and executive producers Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen were back in the writers' room crafting the stories for Running Point season 2, we hadn't yet heard the exciting news about cameras beginning to roll. Well, Netflix has now shared the update we have been waiting for. The new season is now in production in Los Angeles!

On Aug. 15, Netflix shared the update on social media along with a selfie taken by Hudson with fellow cast members Brenda Song, Justin Theroux, Scott MacArthur,...

“I’m in San Francisco,” Ike Barinholtz says via Zoom from his hotel room, then spins his laptop around to prove it. “See? There’s Alcatraz.” It’s now official, though paparazzi photos have all but confirmed it: Barinholtz is in town filming Artificial, Luca Guadagnino’s fact-based account of the behind-the-scenes turmoil that saw OpenAI CEO Sam Altman fired and quickly rehired in 2023. Andrew Garfield plays Altman in the film. And Barinholtz? He’s Elon Musk. No big deal — just the richest, most recognizable, most controversial dude on the planet.

That casting coup caps a watershed year for the 48-year-old Chicago native, still buzzing from having pulled off one of the funniest and most talked about roles of his career: Sal Saperstein on Apple TV+’s uproarious Hollywood send-up The Studio. The foulmouthed movie exec earned Barinholtz his first Emmy nomination, one of 23 for the hit series. Off camera,...

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...

All You Need To Know About Meghan Markle’s With Love, Meghan (Photo Credit – Netflix)

Meghan Markle has been making moves over the last couple of months, be it selling out her lifestyle brand, As Ever, or the success of the first season of her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. And now, season two of the show is almost here, with more tricks, tips, gorgeous aesthetics, and fun recipes.

The Duchess and Duke of Sussex also recently extended their Netflix deal and have a whole host of projects on the way, including the second season of her show. Here’s everything we know about the next edition of her series, including when it releases, who the guests are, and what to expect from it.

With Love, Meghan Season 2: Premiere Date & What To Expect

Season 2 of With Love, Meghan will release all eight episodes on Netflix on August 26, 2025. The lifestyle...

Meghan Markle has released her new trailer for season two of “With Love, Meghan.” It should come as no surprise that it looks every bit as bland, fake, and cringeworthy as the first season.

Meghan’s Trailer Of “With Love, Meghan,” Includes Her Usual Vapid Word Salad

While Netflix has certainly loosened its ties with the Sussexes, they continue on with the s**t show that is Prince Harry and Meghan.

In the one-minute twenty-seven-second trailer, fans see the Duchess of Sussex eating cheese. She prepares food and snacks. She also shares with the audience the foods that Harry doesn’t like. Yawn.

“Do you know that my husband doesn’t like lobster?”

She asks.

“My husband,” she says as she’s cooking a seafood meal. The celeb chef she’s speaking to responds, “

And you married him anyway?”

As the trailer comes to an end, Meghan uses her usual...

Meet Netflix’s Meghan 2.0.

The first trailer for the second season of With Love, Meghan returns the Duchess of Sussex to the kitchen and garden for another round of aspirational cozy cooking along with a bevy of friends (famous friends, naturally).

This time, however, the trailer portrays Meghan a bit differently than in the trailer for the first season — where Markle was shown expertly whipping up stunning creations while giving advice (“that’s what you want, you want that shape and texture…”) while enamored celebrities looked on (“This is probably one of the most glamorous moments of my life,” enthused Mindy Kaling).

Season two’s trailer (below) shows Meghan learning from experts and warmly appreciating the efforts of others. “Let’s get creative and learn something new,” she says, and then later: “I’m so glad you came and showed me how to do this.” In another beat, when mixing ingredients,...

Who’s ready to practice their “bend and snap” routine? Earlier this year, Reese Witherspoon introduced the world to actress Lexi Minetree, who will play the new Elle Woods in the upcoming Legally Blonde series Elle. The highly anticipated prequel (produced by Amazon MGM Studios) will follow a teenage Elle as she navigates her high school years. After watching her get into Harvard Law, we're sure she'll make navigating high school look easy because, what, like it’s hard? Shortly after unveiling the new Elle, Witherspoon’s production company, Hello Sunshine, announced that the show had entered production, and Prime Video later confirmed that the Legally Blonde prequel would have a Summer 2026 release. Now the streamer has another exciting new update to share with fans.

Recently on Instagram, Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine posted a video that features the Elle cast on set. At the beginning of the clip, Minetree recreates her...

This article contains spoilers for "Freakier Friday."

While rom-coms have been enjoying a remarkable resurgence on streaming lately, they've only barely started returning to theaters after years of being seemingly banished to your living room only. It's about time, too; whether you need a break from the outside world or to decompress from the swirling thoughts in your head, nothing scratches that good itch quite like a rom-com. Indeed, "Freakier Friday" even features an up-and-coming Netflix rom-com star, and the results are as good as you would hope. In fact, you may even hear a murmur of surprise during your screening of the film when Maitreyi Ramakrishnan glides into frame.

For those who are not familiar, Ramakrishnan is the star of Netflix's small screen phenomenon, "Never Have I Ever." Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher's rom-com drama series, which ran for four seasons and is loosely based on Kaling's life...

The question burning in every Office fan’s mind just got a lot more interesting. Will John Krasinski reprise his role as Jim Halpert in The Paper, Greg Daniels’ upcoming Peacock spinoff? Recent developments suggest the answer might be a resounding yes.

The trailer has already confirmed the return of Oscar Martinez (played by Oscar Nuñez), sparking a wave of speculation among fans, if Oscar is back, who else might make an appearance? That question gained further momentum when John Krasinski revealed something interesting! In a chat with Extra in May, he said,

Done! If they ask me, I’m in.

This small statement matters more to fans than one might think. As they’ll finally get some closure, those tiny updates that reassure viewers their favorite characters are still out there, doing exactly what we always imagined. Part of the magic of The Office was how real these people felt.

She’s signed a hundred NDAs, but Reneé Rapp still says something when asked about her departure from HBO Max‘s The Sex Lives of College Girls.

Although the Bite Me artist didn’t get into specifics about the reason for her 2023 exit from the Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble comedy-drama, she explained that she didn’t “think anybody cared” she left.

“It was just so fun. Like, it was so fun. It was awesome,” she said when broaching the topic on the Call Her Daddy podcast. “It was just so fun.”

“Did you sign an NDA?” asked host Alex Cooper, to which Rapp confirmed, “I’ve signed many, bro.”

She recalled that the cast and crew took it “totally fine” when she announced her departure.

“Sometimes you just know,” explained Rapp. “Also, nothing on a set is ever a secret. At least, it’s really hard to do that.

Ever since Emily Cooper bravely started a new beginning in Rome at the end of Emily in Paris season 4, we have been waiting impatiently to see how her next act will play out. She ended the season happily in a relationship with Marcello and taking on an important new position at work in Italy, leaving Paris — and Gabriel — in the past. Well, temporarily at least.

When Emily in Paris season 5 began filming earlier this spring, we have been steadily learning more details about the upcoming episodes, including who will be joining the cast. Camille Razat left the series after four seasons, but Lucien Laviscount will be back as Alfie full time this time around. Additionally, Minnie Driver and Bryan Greenberg will appear as guest stars.

Thankfully, production on Emily in Paris season 5 is starting to wind down and expected to fully wrap in mid-August, but we've finally caught word from...

Kenan Thompson and Allison Janney received the evening’s highest recognitions—Titan of Culture and Lifetime of Culture—at the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, taped July 17 at Los Angeles’ Orpheum Theatre and set for a two-hour Bravo premiere on August 5, with next-day streaming on Peacock. Hosted by podcast duo Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, the irreverent ceremony drew a capacity crowd for its first televised outing after three years as a live parody event.

Thompson accepted his trophy to a standing ovation after a montage tracing his three decades on “Saturday Night Live” and Nickelodeon; Janney followed, joking that her award justified her viral “no-pants” red-carpet look from earlier in the week. The show’s 25 cheeky categories ranged from “Best Vibe, Hands Down” to the “Moon Award for Shining Brightly,” embracing the podcast’s long-running credo that every pop-culture footnote deserves a moment of glory.

Jamie Lee Curtis, Lisa Rinna...

The winners of the 2025 Las Culturistas Culture Awards have been revealed!

Season 28 of “The View” is officially over, so yes, the ladies will be on a longer break than usual. But don’t worry, they’ll be back.

Host Joy Behar revealed on Thursday, July 24 — despite not being sure if she was allowed to say so — that the next day would be their last show before their proper summer break, but that’s not out of the ordinary. “The View” typically wraps up at the end of July and gives the ladies a few weeks off between seasons.

Here’s what we know.

When does Season 29 start?

“The View” will return for a new season in September. We don’t know the exact date just yet, but we’ll keep you posted.

Will all the hosts be returning?

The lineup of hosts for Season 29 also has not been officially announced just yet.

Will they be airing reruns in the meantime?

Yes.

It’s been nearly two decades since soapy teen shows like “Gossip Girl,” “Pretty Little Liars” and “One Tree Hill” reigned on the CW and Freeform, but on Amazon’s Prime Video this summer, it’s 2007 all over again. While linear TV has largely abandoned the young adult genre, Prime Video is leaning into it in an attempt to woo Gen Z and millennials with bestseller adaptations and teen drama galore.

It all starts with Jenny Han’s “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” Prime Video’s crown jewel of YA (young adult) programming and streaming hit that’s wrapping up its third and final season this fall. Hoping to grab the baton are “We Were Liars” from “Vampire Diaries” creator Julie Plec and “Overcompensating” from social media comedian-turned-tv writer Benito Skinner, as well as a slew of upcoming TV adaptations of buzzy novels “Fourth Wing,” “Off Campus” and YA series...

If you’re still not over Lena Dunham’s latest, these picks will ease the heartbreak.

Rom-coms are my go-to genre — always have been. There’s just something about falling in love with a show at the same time the characters are falling for each other. And when it ends? Total heartbreak. That’s the vibe with “Too Much,” Lena Dunham’s new series about a heartbroken American and a low-key London musician who find themselves tangled in a love story neither of them planned for. It’s quiet, honest, and a little awkward (in the best way), with the kind of emotional pull that sneaks up on you. So if that ending left you feeling adrift, here are a few more shows that might just fill the gap and get you back in love.

Too Much July 10, 2025

When a heartbroken New Yorker moves to London hoping for a love story,...

When Julia Butters landed her first big role — a scene-stealing turn opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood — she wasn’t even allowed to watch the whole movie. Her parents let her walk the red carpet at the premiere but whisked her out of the theater long before the flamethrowers came out. “They didn’t want to traumatize a 9-year-old,” she says. “But that carpet was insane — I mean, girl, Britney Spears was there — and I have yet to top that.”

Age appropriateness isn’t a problem in Butters’ latest project. The actress, now 16, stars in Freakier Friday, Disney’s long-awaited sequel to the 2003 body-swap comedy. In this updated and slightly more convoluted version, Lindsay Lohan’s character, Anna, is now a mom herself — and it’s her teenage daughter, Harper, played by Butters, who ends up switching bodies with her. Meanwhile, Jamie Lee Curtis’ Tess,...

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s multi-year deal with Netflix will expire this fall, and it looks like it won’t be getting renewed. The couple had signed a $100 million contract with the streaming giant in 2020. As per The Sun‘s report, “There is no animosity from either side. Things have just run their course.”

As the contract nears its end, the ‘Suits’ star is reportedly grasping at straws, trying to find the next project that will be perfect for her. According to an insider who confided in Rob Shutter (via Substack), Markle is “Terrified of fading into irrelevance.”

To add to it, Markle would even accept a seat at the table over at ‘The View,’ the insider claims. In their words, “At this point, she’d take a hot topics seat next to Whoopi Goldberg if they let her.” The source continues that Markle is in desperate need of...

The 40-Year-Old Virgin didn’t just launch Steve Carell into mainstream, but it also saved The Office from getting cancelled after just six episodes. That’s right! One of TV’s greatest sitcoms almost did not survive its first season, and it took a summer blockbuster, with an 85% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, and a bold gamble to keep it alive.

The show premiered in 2005 and featured Greg Daniels’ American take on the UK mockumentary, originally created by Ricky Gervais. Early ratings were lukewarm, and NBC reportedly considered ending The Office. But then it became a cultural juggernaut, with its mix of perfect characters, great writing, and a second wave of popularity after hitting Netflix in 2011.

Before The Office became a binge-worthy show, it was just a quirky underdog, barely hangin’ on for dear life.

These shows aren’t just about winning games — they’re about finding yourself along the way.

“Stick” closed out its first season on Wednesday, July 23, and yeah… I’m already wishing for more time on those lush fairways and chaotic campgrounds. What makes the show work isn’t just how funny it is or how perfectly Owen Wilson plays a washed-up golf pro trying to coach a teenage phenom. It’s the heart underneath — a man still reeling from a personal tragedy, desperate to find something that gives his life meaning again. That’s what makes it stick (pun intended). And it’s the same thing that makes the best sports comedies so good: they’re about people first, sports second. So if you’ve finished “Stick” and need another binge with laughs, heart, and a little redemption mixed in, I’ve got you covered. Here’s what to watch...

Handsome Podcast hosts Tig Notaro, Fortune Feimster and Mae Martin are set to be honored at the Just For Laughs comedy festival on Friday.

Comedy-driven podcasts, where comedians interview celebrity guests, have become big business in the entertainment world.

Meghan Markle’s Netflix show, “With Love, Meghan,” debuted at a humiliating 383 on the first half of the 2025 Netflix list. It failed to make the top ten programs as the Duchess of Sussex suffers another massive flop.

“With Love, Meghan.” Only Had 5.3 Million Viewers Across The Globe

“With Love, Meghan” shows Meghan hosting, cooking, and gardening. Her series had only 5.3 million viewers worldwide since it was first broadcast in March.

That said, Meghan, who played in the legal drama, “Suits,” is far more popular on the streaming giant than “With Love, Meghan.”

Even older shows like “Young Sheldon” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” are outperforming Meghan’s show. People enjoy older shows more.

Even Netflix series that have been viewed a thousand times by fans, like “Ozark” and “Orange is the New Black,” are watched more often than “With Love, Meghan.”

Meghan’s show was evidently a “hate-watch.” It performed well at first,...

Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas Markle, celebrates his 81st birthday today on July 18th. Meghan and her father have spent years apart.

Thomas Has Repeatedly Gone Public With Comments About Meghan

Meghan’s father was an accomplished Hollywood hand who worked on shows such as Married with Children and General Hospital.

He won two Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Lighting Direction For A Drama Series. He also worked on the 1984 Summer Olympics. Thomas and Meghan’s mother, Doria, divorced when she was only two years old.

Thomas’s actions in the weeks leading up to Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding prompted Meghan’s groom to claim that her father caused “chaos” in the days leading up to the wedding.

Harry and Meghan learned that Thomas had staged a candid photoshoot working with the paparazzi. His behavior blindsided the royal family, leaving Meghan disillusioned and embarrassed.

In a 2018 interview with The Sun,...

Hello Sunshine, a Candle Media company, revealed the return dates for its 2025 Shine Away event in partnership with AT&T mid-July.The third iteration of the event will take place October 11 and 12 at the Universal Studios Lot in Universal City, California.

Hello Sunshine founder Reese Witherspoon will return to kick off the program for fans, who will enjoy unprecedented access to entertainment and talent from Hello Sunshine.

The Peacock mockumentary series “The Paper” officially has a premiere date.

The show, which serves as a followup to “The Office,” will debut its first four episodes on Sept. 4, followed by two new episodes every Thursday through Sept. 25.

The official logline for “The Paper” states, “The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch is in search of a new subject when they discover a historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it.”

The cast of the series includes Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Oscar Nuñez, who is reprising his role from “The Office,” Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, and Tim Key.

In a trailer played at the NBCUniversal upfront presentation, it was revealed that the show takes place in the offices of the Toledo Truth-Teller. The documentary crew makes their way around the room, revealing that Oscar (Nuñez) is now working as an accountant for the paper.

Simone Ashley landed her first-ever role as a background character in 2015’s Straight Outta Compton. It was this small role that led to her appearances in episodes of Wolfblood and Broadchurch and her breakthrough role in Sex Education. Ashley’s casting in Bridgerton was announced when Season 1 of her other Netflix show became a major streaming hit.

Bridgerton gave her immense popularity and propelled her into a TV lead status. Fans of the regency romance drama would be thrilled to know that Ashley is reportedly part of The Devil Wears Prada sequel. Deadline reported that the actress has joined the ensemble cast, featuring Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci.

Ashley joined the cast after it was earlier reported that Kenneth Branagh was tapped for a role in the sequel. The new film will explore Meryl Streep’s character Miranda Priestly as she confronts the reality of the decline of the print industry.

In February, Emmy nominee Mindy Kaling hit the world with one of this year’s most bingeable series, starring a Hollywood icon in the lead, and we’re still not over it. Titled Running Point, the sports comedy premiered on Netflix on February 27 to critical acclaim and was quickly renewed for another run. It’s now been months since fans have heard any update regarding the sophomore season, but that’s set to change as there’s finally news about its impending production and release.

The highly anticipated Running Point Season 2 is scheduled to begin production next month, with a preliminary filming start date set for August 11, according to What’s on Netflix. The installment will then shoot for a little over three months, with a tentative wrap date set for November 20 of this year. Furthermore, it will return to its filming home of Los Angeles, California. This update suggests...

It’s impossible to imagine anyone but Chet Hanks playing Travis Bugg, the unruly Los Angeles Waves point guard in the new Mindy Kaling comedy Running Point. “Chet Hanks gave us such an amazing audition that we were just like, ‘Ok, it has to be him,’ ” co-creator Ike Barinholtz told Netflix.

Hanks steals the show as Travis, part-time rapper and full-time headache for party girl-turned-Waves president Isla Gordon, played by Kate Hudson. Over the 10 episodes, Travis is often recalcitrant, sometimes vulnerable, and always sidesplittingly hilarious. In Hanks’ hands, the character isn’t a one-dimensional caricature but instead the wayward heart of the show. “I loved working with Chet,” Hudson told Netflix. “I have to say, he’s so good in this. I think people are going to be really pleasantly surprised and enjoy what he’s doing with his character.”

With Running Point, Hanks got the chance to act...

Meghan Markle is currently under scrutiny regarding her brand, As Ever. She was dubbed the “laziest creator” by Royal Commentator Brittany, who has the fabulous YouTube channel Royal News Network.

Meghan Lacks A True Vision For Her Brand

Meghan lacks a true vision for her brand. There is no separation between Meghan Markle and her brand, As Ever. The only reason people are purchasing products from her brand is because of Meghan.

It may inflate Meghan’s ego, but it doesn’t make for a good business strategy. A good business investor won’t buy a company if it is doomed to fold if the creator walks away.

In the case of many successful companies, people don’t even know who the founder is. Meghan made the mistake of associating herself so closely with her brand that the brand rests solely on Meghan’s identity.

Good companies can exist without the brand creator.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may still be clinging to their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles, but according to a new report, the royal family has had enough — and the axe may finally be coming down. After years of publicly trashing the monarchy while simultaneously cashing in on their royal connections, insiders say the couple could face a long-overdue consequence: losing the titles they insist they don’t care about, yet refuse to give up.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle To Get Stripped of Titles? Royal Family Had Enough, “Axe May Be Coming Down”

According to palace insiders Prince William, future King and long-time target of Harry and Meghan’s grievances, is prepared to do what King Charles hasn’t dared: strip the couple of their royal status if they cross the line again. Several “secret meetings” have already taken place, with contingency plans reportedly in place should the pair...

Long before Ali Larter was cast as the free-spirited Angela Norris on "Landman," she played Brooke Taylor-Windham in the comedy "Legally Blonde." The character is a fitness instructor who gets accused of killing her elderly husband, but Reese Witherspoon's Harvard law student, Elle Woods, believes that she's innocent and decides to represent her in court. The truth comes out in the end, and Brooke avoids a stint in prison, meaning that she's free to return in the long-gestating "Legally Blonde 3" or any other project set in this universe. What's more, Larter is keen to reprise the role, as she told The Hollywood Reporter:

"I've always heard that ['Legally Blonde 3'] was getting written, and that Mindy Kaling was doing it, so who knows. Now they're doing the ['Legally Blonde'] TV show, so that's going to take the space of that for a while. But I think...

Scooby-Doo is one of those shows that have continued to be remarkable even after all these years of their release, and the resurgence of the 23-year-old Scooby-Doo series, What’s New, Scooby-Doo?, on HBO Max is just one of the many proofs of its lasting impact.

Created by Sander Schwartz in 2002, it was the ninth incarnation of the popular animated franchise and followed a modernized version of the original series at the time. However, after a three-season run, it was canceled in 2006. And over two decades after its release, the animated series has now seen a revival, ranking among the Top 10 TV shows on HBO Max in the United States.

What’s New, Scooby-Doo? Climbs HBO’s U.S. Top 10 Streaming List

In the wake of Netflix’s live-action reboot of Scooby-Doo, a previous installment of the franchise, What’s New, Scooby-Doo? made a triumphant return to the spotlight, claiming the #10 spot on HBO Max’s U.

Lena Dunham and husband Luis Felber’s new Netflix series “Too Much,” starring Megan Stalter, is set to drop July 10, and while the series’ trailer promised laughs, Dunham said she also felt a responsibility to use the show to make a stand on women’s rights. Speaking at a preview event (via The Hollywood Reporter), Dunham sported a Planned Parenthood pin and teased a “Too Much” storyline that involves abortion.

“As an artist, I’m proud … that we get to be part of showing people all over the world a healthy woman making a super self actualized choice to get reproductive care [from] a really true, loving abortion provider, because those people are heroes,” Dunham said. “So to be able to represent that was really, really important to me.”

The “Girls” creator/star also told THR prior to the preview that she felt it necessary to shine a light on Planned...

Not to make you feel old or anything, but it’s been 10 years since Pixar’s emotional masterpiece “Inside Out” hit screens. Yes, really.

First premiering at the Cannes Film Festival, the animated film hit theaters on June 19, 2015. Having given cars, toys and monsters emotions, “Inside Out” introduced fans to emotions themselves: Joy, Anger, Sadness, Fear and Disgust. They inside the head of Riley, a young girl just starting to hit adolescence, whose entire life is uprooted when her family moves to San Francisco.

Like any movie, “Inside Out” had quite the journey in getting to screen, and there are some hidden gems in that trail. So, we picked out a few of our favorites.

Here are 10 facts about the animated classic you might not have known.

1. Riley’s Emotions Nearly Talked to Her

In one draft of the film, the console in Riley’s head had a microphone, so...

The feature adaptation of Hana Khan Carries On from Amazon MGM Studios and Kaling International has found its director.

Fawzia Mirza, whose recent credits include the Hulu series Deli Boys, is set to direct the film that is currently in development, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively. The project has not yet announced a cast.

Sahar Jahani (Ramy) penned the script that is based on author Uzma Jalaluddin’s 2021 novel of the same name. The film centers on Chicago-based chef and family restaurant owner Hana, who connects with Aydin on an anonymous dating app without realizing that his own family’s culinary empire could lead to her business shutting down.

Mindy Kaling and Jessica Kumai Scott produce for Kaling International.

Mirza was a director on the first season of Hulu’s comedy series Deli Boys, which launched earlier this year. Her feature directorial debut The Queen of My Dreams premiered...

John Wells was in the middle of his explanation about why he doesn’t envy other writers’ work when Tracey Wigfield began to laugh. “John,” she said, stopping him. “I’m jealous of every show I watch.”

Mindy Kaling fell somewhere in the middle. “When I watch TV, I just want it to be good,” she said. “I think when jealousy comes in is when something you think is not that good is getting a lot of praise. Why are they saying that’s so good? It’s just Ok!”

Praise is one thing everybody on THR‘s Producers Emmy Roundtable had in common. The live event, held May 28 at Soho House West Hollywood, gathered the minds behind (and, in some instances, faces in front of) the most critically acclaimed comedies and dramas of the past year. Joining Kaling (Running Point), Wells (The Pitt) and Wigfield (The Four Seasons), were...

Critics may be seeing failures, blockades and setbacks, but Meghan Markle is evidently seeing each failed project as a chance to dream even bigger.

You’d think that, for Meghan Markle at least, the priority should be to perfect As Ever products as soon as possible and return them to the shelves, but no. Her current priority is to expand into the hospitality business. You know, the kind that comes with hotels and restaurants.

Meghan Markle Extends Her As Ever Trademark To Cover Hospitality Services

According to new reports, Meghan Markle is reportedly looking to branch into hotels and restaurants.

Whilst As Ever’s trademark already covers a lot of ground, the Duchess sought to expand it even further by filing for accommodation services, temporary lodgings and “provision of food and drink.”

It’s possible that this move means she’s keen on bringing her culinary creations – as seen on her Netflix show,...

Over the past year, Delaney Rowe has made a name for herself across Instagram and TikTok.

Her video content — in which she usually lampoons tropes and stock characters from TV or movies, a la “insufferable best friend of the lead in a romcom” — has earned her a massive following and the attention of some mainstream celebs.

And it seems that one of those famous faces has taken an interest in Delaney that goes beyond her comedic talents.

Back in April, social media users started freaking out over the revelation that Delaney is dating The Office star B.J. Novak.

Now, the weird thing about this sudden interest is the fact that gossip outlet Deux Moi first reported on Delaney and B.J. back in December.

After making a name for herself as a writer and star of The Office and the creator and lead of The Mindy Project, Mindy Kaling took a step back from the spotlight. She has had some acting roles since, but she has stuck mostly to producing work, having co-created the TV shows Champions, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Never Have I Ever, The Sex Lives of College Girls and Running Point. In fact, her most recent onscreen role came in 2023. But Kaling knows a more substantial return to acting is overdue. “Never Have I Ever, a show literally about an Indian American family in Southern California, and if I wasn’t on that — what’s wrong with me?” Kaling said during a Paley Media Council Series conversation last week, per The Hollywood Reporter. Kaling explained that she’s been a bit camera shy because her producing ventures have panned out well.

When we needed the laughs most, the new comedy series released so far this year really delivered. The best part about the comedies that have debuted on streaming in 2025 are that there's no debate about if they're actually comedies. Based on their sense of humor, overall tone, and ability to crack jokes a mile a minute, there's no confusing these shows with dramas.

Netflix in particular has been on a hot streak with new original comedies, led by the success of Nobody Wants This and A Man on the Inside late last year. The streamer has kept the laughs going with two of the funniest new shows of 2025 featuring even more stars everyone loves. Meanwhile, two new young adult series have hit everyone's funny bone, Apple TV+ hit it out of the park with a hilarious Hollywood send-up, and a Hulu hidden gem hit us in the feels.
