Just when you thought holiday baking shows had reached peak sweetness, Gordon Ramsay has gone and raised the stakes with the newly released Next Level Holiday Baking  trailer, and honestly, it looks like Christmas came early. The trailer drops a first look at what promises to be a sugar-fueled, festive showdown that combines culinary skill, personality drama, and more frosting than anyone should reasonably consume in one sitting. If holiday competitions make your heart melt faster than a buttercream snowflake, this is the one to mark on your calendar. The trailer sets the scene with the same iconic three-tier kitchen we saw in Next Level Chef , but this time it’s decked out in holiday glory. Twinkling lights, fake snow, and Christmas decorations turn the basement, middle, and top kitchens into a winter wonderland where bakers will be tested under both festive pressure and Ramsay’s watchful eye. Contestants range from home bakers to professional pastry chefs and social media dessert stars, ensuring a mix of raw talent and quirky personalities that is already shaping up to be television gold. Watching them navigate the layered kitchens while whipping up gingerbread towers, boozy Yule logs, and over-the-top cookies is like peeking into a slightly chaotic holiday dream. Judging the culinary chaos are Gordon Ramsay, the ever-charming Carla Hall, and pastry wizard Candace Nelson. Together, they promise the right balance of tough love, encouragement, and, let’s be real, the occasional “What were you thinking?” moment that makes competitive baking fun to watch. The stakes are high, with a grand prize of $25,000 and a HexClad cookware set, making every perfectly piped cupcake and slightly burnt fruitcake count. With the premiere set for December 4, 2025, on FOX and streaming the following day on Hulu, fans have just enough time to mentally prep their own kitchens for inspiration or envy. The trailer makes one thing very clear: Next Level Holiday Baking  is ready to serve up festive fun, dramatic flour fights, and enough sugar-induced chaos to keep viewers glued to the screen. Whether you’re here for the baking brilliance, the Ramsay commentary, or just the holiday vibes, this trailer proves that the season’s sweetest competition is about to get next-level delicious.

Leslie Jones is about to make the East Hollywood branch of CBS’ new comedy DMV  feel like the most chaotic party of the year. The Saturday Night Live  alum guest stars as Sally , the energetic executive assistant to the DMV director, and according to CBS, she’s ready to step in, shake things up, and steal scenes like only Leslie Jones can. The upcoming episode, The Next Window , follows the staff as they embark on a road trip to the Big Sac holiday party. CBS describes the chaos perfectly: “Colette tries to impress Noa before his single ‘window’ closes. Meanwhile, Barb’s effort to save the East Hollywood DMV backfires when she accidentally tackles the director, but assistant Sally (Leslie Jones) steps in to help.” Translation: Leslie Jones arrives just in time to prevent a bureaucratic meltdown and inject her trademark comic energy into the office drama. Sally is more than just a problem solver. She’s “energetic and proud” and bonds immediately with Barb, sharing a love for everything DMV-related. It’s exactly the kind of character that lets Jones flex her comedic timing and dominate every scene she’s in. While the core cast — Harriet Dyer, Tim Meadows, Tony Cavalero, Molly Kearney, Alex Tarrant, and Gigi Zumbado — handles the day-to-day absurdity of public service life, Jones’ Sally adds that extra jolt of humor that makes you wish every DMV had someone this fabulous behind the desk. Jones is not the only guest star shaking things up. Zoe Lister-Jones, Chelsea Frei, Jessica Camacho, and former WNBA player Renee Montgomery are also dropping by, while Randall Park will be back later to appear repreise his role as a rival DMV manager. But it’s Jones’ mix of charm, authority, and barely contained exasperation that promises to be the scene-stealer fans will talk about long after the credits roll. DMV , developed by Dana Klein and inspired by a Katherine Heiny short story, has already secured a full season order. And with Leslie Jones dropping in just as the holiday chaos hits, this is one DMV visit you won’t mind waiting in line for. Tune in Monday, December 8 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT — Sally has the keys, and she’s not afraid to use them.

What do Nuns, a Pop Star and a Convent have in Common? Three nuns sit watching an Alaia Jade music video on tv. She's a pop star who made an offer to purchase their convent.  This sounds like a funny joke, if it weren’t really happening.   In the church nave or sanctuary, Mother Constance Mary asks Monsignor Frank why they are selling it. He says Alaia Jade made an offer and the Vatican approved the sale. She’s doing a walkthrough tomorrow. Reverend Mother Constance knows the Monsignor is not concerned because he is trying to get the bishop’s job. He tells her to prepare to vacate and leaves. Reverend Mother Constance prays for a sign, and hears a bell ringing. She assumes that’s the sign.  Later that evening, the nuns are in the tv room watching a police drama. Reverend Mother Constance sneaks out and unlocks the bell tower door, then returns to the tv room. She reminds the nuns that it’s bedtime. As the file out of the room, she stops Sister Darby and admonishes her about the bells for prayer ringing delay. Sister Darby is sure the bell ringing was on time. Reverend Mother reminds her that the sisters depend on the bell ringing to be exact, to structure their day. Sister Darby promises that won’t happen again. Reverend Mother makes Sister Darby do penance by washing dishes. While washing dishes, Reverend Mother Constance picks up her watch on the table, and changes the time setting. Alaia Jade arrives the next day to walk through the convent. Reverend Mother Constance talks with her about purchasing the convent. Alaia Jade wants to convert it into a recording studio. She tells Reverend Mother Constance about wanting to change her manager. Reverend Mother told her about her doubts once, and how she resolved them. She went to the bell tower, looked out the west window and was inspired. She tells Alaia to go to the bell tower exactly at 5:42 pm as the sun sets, and she too can be inspired. At 5:42 pm, Alaia goes to the bell tower and climbs the stairs to the west window. She looks out watching the sun set. Sister Darby comes in downstairs exactly at 6 pm to ring the bells. The bell in the tower knocks Alaia out the window, sending her to her death. The nuns are at prayers, and hear the noise and Reverend Mother Constance covers her face in shock at what’s happened.  The other nuns rush out to see.  Crime Investigation Begins Elsbeth, Detective Smulten and Officer Nikki Reynolds are on this case, and arrive at the convent, each having uneasy feelings from past experiences. Smulten asks Elsbeth if she knows Alaia Jade,and she does. She recalls one song that is particularly irritating. They go to interview the nuns.  Elsbeth asks them what they heard, and surmises from the sounds they heard indicate Alaia fell to her death after being hit by the tower bell. That sends Sister Darby into a panic because she thinks she killed her.  Elsbeth tries to calm her with a joke, but has trouble remembering how the joke went. Her confusion distracts Sister Darby and she chuckles. Reverend Mother comes over and tells Sister Darby to go to her room in an imposing manner. Elsbeth and the Reverend Mother introduce themselves. Elsbeth asks her why Alaia was in the bell tower. Reverend Mother says the convent now belonged to Alaia, but wasn’t sure why she wanted it. She tells her Alaia did a walkthrough, and was upset about the condition of the bell tower. She says she told her that the area was strictly off-limits. Detective Smulten and Officer Nikki listen intently.  She says the bell tower door was kept locked.  Detective Smulten, Officer Nikki and Elsbeth go to check the door.  Smulten notices it was forced open. Reverend Mother tells him that the door is two hundred years old. He sees only one set of prints going up the stairs to the tower. He says it's clearly an accident. Elsbeth quickly spots some things that were moved by the dust patterns on the floor.  Reverend Mother suddenly leaves them to check on Sister Darby. Elsbeth finds some fiber on the “Do Not Enter” sign, and you can see the curiosity wheels churning in her mind.  She sees a crime was committed.  Accident or Murder and Investigation Stalled Detective Smulten and Officer Nikki present their facts showing Alaia’s death was an accident. Elsbeth doubts. Teddy and his boyfriend, Roy, give Elsbeth a background on Alaia, her music and manager/producer. The usual suspects were interrogated, Sister Francis who thought her prayers were answered but not the way she wanted. There was also a person who confessed. All found not guilty. Elsbeth returns to the scene of the crime to inadvertently interrogate the nuns. Elsbeth’s religion was also questioned. Through all this, the convent was still sold. The investigation was stalled after a scolding by Monsignor Frank.The police were banned from the convent premises.   Violated Commandments, Murder Solved and Convent Saved by a Miracle Religious spookiness threat from Reverend Mother Constance directed at Elsbeth in the belfry. How did Elsbeth get back to the convent? Why did Alaia Jade go up the bell tower? How did Alaia’s proof solve her own murder? What miracle saved the convent from being sold? Elsbeth delivers all the confirmed clues in commandment format to explain how Alaia died. Truly surprising for all the nuns, Monsignor Frank and the police.   Teddy’s getting his own byline leads to a new mystery that may affect his mom’s new romance. What does his story research discover?  Will Teddy tell his mom what he discovered? Elsbeth’s latest episode answered one major murder question, but introduces another unsettling question in the identity of a new, trusted character. This character is seemingly genuine and wants to help others, but questions about their true identity arise. This is a new unsettling tease. It’s just like the show to leave breadcrumbs and a subtle cliffhanger. I hope this doesn’t harm Elsbeth or her family. This episode was sometimes creepy, uneasy, and showed how easily people could be manipulated. But, it did have a happy ending for some. Diane Wiest was extraordinarily convincing in her great performance. I liked the church settings, as well. This was another good episode and I gave it 4.8 Stars out of 5 .

Ghosts Season 5 Episode 6 titled Planes Shanes and Automobiles continues the show’s holiday hot streak with a Thanksgiving adventure that is part heartwarming family sitcom part supernatural meltdown and part travel nightmare that feels a little too relatable. Ghosts has proven many times that holiday themed episodes are its secret weapon and this one doubles down with smart jokes sharp character work and just enough absurdity to keep viewers grinning the entire time. The festivities begin with Sam and Jay trying to do the polite thing by checking with Sass about hosting Thanksgiving. Because Ghosts never misses an opportunity for incisive humor Sass responds with his usual dry humor but that is why we love him. After pretending he didn't know why they were asking him, he is of course ok with the holiday being hosted at Woodstone as long as Jay makes yams topped with marshmallows which feels like exactly the kind of culinary request only a centuries old ghost would demand. Jay of course rises to the occasion because holiday food is his Super Bowl. Sam leaves for a book signing with Pete in tow and while we love Pete, his road trip energy is a lot. He is the only ghost who can leave the property and the writers use that power to absolute comedic excess. Every mile that Sam drives is another mile for Pete to over share and bless him he commits to the bit with relentless enthusiasm. Meanwhile Jay is left behind with a huge list of ghost chores which he promptly ignores because he is tired of being the live in concierge for a house full of complaining spirits. Honestly he has a point. The ghosts decide they have had enough of Jay’s protest era and call in backup. Unfortunately their definition of backup is Kyle who can also see ghosts and has a well documented history of hitting on Sam. Kyle arrives believing Jay wants to rekindle some magical friendship they never had which is tragic adorable and slightly uncomfortable all at once. Upon discovering he has been summoned as a ghost butler he sticks around anyway because he is lonely and desperate for human connection. The ghosts naturally exploit this. Trevor plays sports whisperer feeding Kyle outdated football trivia that is so obviously fake that anyone who has ever watched ESPN for five minutes could spot the problem. Jay eventually does and the two finally share a genuinely honest moment that is shockingly sweet for two men who can barely tolerate each other. Pictured (L-R): Ben Feldman as Kyle, Danielle Pinnock as Alberta, Rebecca Wisocky as Hetty, Brandon Scott Jones as Isaac, Román Zaragoza as Sasappis, Devan Chandler Long as Thorfinn, and Asher Grodman as Trevor.

When their flight gets canceled Sam drives home with Pete serving as the world’s least reliable GPS. The car refuses to connect to her phone even though modern technology says otherwise but narrative convenience takes the wheel. Pete leads them onto a sketchy off road shortcut where the car promptly breaks down. Sam snaps unleashing every pent up frustration from a day of nonstop Pete monologues and Pete begins fading away since he is too far from the ghost boundary. Plus how sad that no one showed up for her book signing. The moment is surprisingly emotional which is the Ghosts signature move. Make you laugh then hit you with feelings you did not expect. Sam remembers one of Pete’s famously dull stories about knowing someone nearby. They track the man down only to find he died a decade ago. Luckily his son still lives in the house and speaks fondly of the wonderfully pleasant man his father always talked about. Because Ghosts loves a good third act flourish the son offers Sam a helicopter ride home. Yes a helicopter. Because how else do you return to Thanksgiving dinner if not by dramatic aerial entrance. She lands at Woodstone like a guest star in a holiday movie. Kyle prepares to leave after the world’s longest day until Jay finally sees how deeply lonely the guy is. In a Jay moment of vulnerability he invites Kyle to stay for Thanksgiving. The ghosts approve which is essentially the Woodstone version of a blessing. Planes Shanes and Automobiles succeeds because it blends everything Ghosts does best. The comedy is sharp the character beats are rich and the emotional moments sneak up on you. The episode delivers holiday sentiment without losing the show’s signature chaotic tone. It is warm it is messy it is delightfully unhinged and it proves once again why Ghosts remains one of television’s most reliable comfort comedies.

HBO has officially renewed Task for a second season and the internet can finally unclench. The crime drama that sneaked onto the fall schedule and then sunk its claws into viewers is coming back with more emotional turmoil more tense interrogations and more Mark Ruffalo doing his best tortured federal agent face. The news arrives after the show became one of the strongest performing freshmen dramas in the network lineup a surprise to absolutely no one who watched the finale and said out loud "Well they better not stop there." Task follows Ruffalo as FBI agent Tom Brandis whose investigations in the working class corners of Philadelphia turned the first season into a gripping mix of family trauma community tension and violent crime. It was a rough ride but the good kind the kind that rewards you for paying attention and lets you feel clever for catching a clue right before the show slaps you with five more. Viewers responded and HBO of course noticed. Season two is shaping up to be a fascinating creative puzzle since several major season one characters met very final endings. Fans expecting the same ensemble may want to brace themselves. Still creator Brad Ingelsby has made it clear that he sees Task as an ongoing story with returning characters recurring emotional arcs and a continued focus on the raw personal stakes that made season one so compelling. Expect more Philly grit more real world texture and plenty of scenes where Ruffalo stares out a car window while contemplating justice and life choices. This renewal feels like the most sensible decision HBO has made in ages. Task is prestige storytelling without the stuffy tone that usually weighs these dramas down. It is grounded but pulpy serious but never dreary and smart without acting like it deserves a medal. Season two has the chance to expand the world raise the stakes and push deeper into the messy lives that made the show resonate so strongly. Task is back and that sound you hear is The TV Cave sharpening its recap pencils. Bring on the next investigation HBO. We are ready.

HBO has officially renewed House of the Dragon for a fourth season, extending its flagship Game of Thrones prequel series through 2028. The announcement was made by Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO and HBO Max, during the network’s presentation in New York City. Season three is set to debut this summer, while season four is scheduled for release in 2028. The renewal arrives as work continues behind the scenes. Showrunner Ryan Condal is currently writing season four. Condal has previously stated that he envisioned the series concluding after four seasons, but the network did not confirm an end point. According to sources, the final decision will be made after season four is completed, leaving the ultimate length of the series open for now. House of the Dragon is based on George R. R. Martin’s book Fire and Blood and is set two centuries before the events of Game of Thrones. The story centers on House Targaryen during one of the most turbulent and consequential periods in its history. The eight episode second season, which wrapped in August 2024, picked up immediately after the death of Lucerys Velaryon, the son of Rhaenyra Targaryen. The season followed the rapid escalation of the Targaryen conflict, moving the story from uneasy tension into the beginning of the Dance of the Dragons civil war. Season three continues that trajectory with a large returning cast that includes Matt Smith, Emma D Arcy, Olivia Cooke, Steve Toussaint, Rhys Ifans, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell, Tom Glynn Carney, Sonoya Mizuno, Harry Collett, Bethany Antonia, Phoebe Campbell, Phia Saban, Jefferson Hall, Matthew Needham, James Norton, Tom Bennett, Kieran Bew, Kurt Egyiawan, Freddie Fox, Clinton Liberty, Gayle Rankin and Abubakar Salim. House of the Dragon is co created and executive produced by George R. R. Martin and Ryan Condal, who serves as showrunner. Sara Hess, Melissa Bernstein, Kevin de la Noy, Vince Gerardis, David Hancock and Philippa Goslett also executive produce. With the fourth season now officially moving forward, HBO continues to expand its presence in the world of Westeros as the Targaryen saga enters its next chapter.

HBO is clearly feeling confident about its newest comedy duo. The network has officially granted Season two renewals to The Chair Company and I Love LA, two shows that arrived this fall and immediately started stirring up chatter. It is not often that two freshman comedies strike the right note at the same time, but HBO seems convinced these quirky newcomers have the kind of staying power that keeps viewers glued to the screen. HBO comedy chief Amy Gravitt credited the strong audience response, saying the network is thrilled to keep working with the creative teams behind both series. Translation HBO sees potential and is ready for more offbeat chaos from these rising hits. The Chair Company follows Tim Robinson as Ron, a well meaning dad who becomes convinced that his embarrassing workplace tumble is evidence of something far more sinister. Before long he is spiraling through conspiracies and crossing paths with some spectacularly odd characters. Robinson who cocreated the series with longtime collaborator Zach Kanin brings his signature brand of awkward comedy meltdown energy, and viewers have clearly been rewarding the show for leaning all the way into its weirdness. On the other end of the comedy spectrum but just as chaotic is I Love LA which comes from creator and star Rachel Sennott. She plays Maia a struggling PR rep who gets the career glow up of her dreams when her influencer best friend Tallulah played by Odessa Azion hires her as manager. Their dynamic is messy aspirational and extremely LA in all the best and worst ways. With Josh Hutcherson Jordan Firstman and True Whitaker rounding out the cast the show blends industry satire with classic friendship drama which explains why it has already found a devoted fan base. The renewals signal that HBO is committed to embracing bold creator driven comedy and giving these two series room to grow. Fans of Robinsons frantic unraveling and Sennotts sun soaked PR circus can now breathe easy knowing more episodes are on the way. Expect more absurdity more ambition and plenty of reasons to keep these shows at the top of your watchlist as they head into Season two.

Fans of heartfelt time jumping drama might want to grab a snack and maybe a stress pillow because the news is official. The Way Home is canceled after its upcoming fourth season. Hallmark has decided to bring the Landry family saga to a definitive close and yes it is perfectly fine to feel a little betrayed by television yet again. The show has been one of the most unexpectedly twisty entries in the network lineup and its mix of family wounds, emotional mysteries and a particularly temperamental pond earned it a passionate audience. So hearing the words The Way Home canceled feels a bit like discovering your favorite character has been stuck in the wrong timeline the whole time. The end arrives in Spring 2026 when the final season drops and wraps up the story that creators Heather Conkie, Alexandra Clarke and Marly Reed spent years weaving together. We can confirm that production is underway and that the cast led by Andie MacDowell, Chyler Leigh and Sadie Laflamme Snow is back to send the Landrys out with a splash; hopefully not a literal one into the pond unless the plot demands it. Hallmark executives praised fans for obsessively rewatching every clue which is fair because this show almost dared you not to form a detective corkboard. Season three left viewers with plenty to chew on. Del took her first leap through time right to her wedding in the nineteen seventies before witnessing the disappearance of Jacob. The family inherited the Lingermore estate and we finally learned the identity of the mysterious baby by the pond which turned out to be Elliot. With threads like that dangling, the final season promises to tie up years of tangled timelines and emotional cliffhangers. So yes, The Way Home canceled stings but at least the Landrys get a real conclusion. Fans can look forward to answers closure and probably a few more tear jerking twists. Keep your theories brewing and your water sources suspicious. The pond is not done with us yet.

HBO has clearly decided it is all in on Westeros again because A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms just landed a season two renewal before the first episode has even aired. That is the kind of move usually reserved for shows that already crash streaming servers on premiere night. Yet here we are watching the premium network place a massive bet on a humble hedge knight and his mysterious young squire. It is bold. It is confident. It is also a little hilarious in the best way. The series adapts the Tales of Dunk and Egg stories from George R R Martin and already feels like the most refreshingly grounded entry in the growing Thrones universe. Instead of dragons patrolling the skies and armies destroying entire kingdoms before breakfast this one focuses on a towering knight with more heart than pedigree and a kid who knows far more than he lets on. It is the rare fantasy story that remembers the quiet moments matter just as much as the big shiny ones. The early renewal says a lot about HBOs expectations. Executives do not greenlight another season before a premiere unless the finished episodes are delivering exactly what they hoped for behind closed doors. Word around the industry is that the show leans heavily into character driven storytelling with just enough Westerosi tension to keep longtime fans on edge. The creative team has reportedly mapped out a clear multi season plan which makes this renewal feel more like a strategic investment than a gamble. What makes this especially fun is that Dunk and Egg are not the usual leads you expect in a world dominated by fire breathing royalty. They are everyday strugglers trying to survive in a realm that practically swings a sword at them for existing. Their dynamic provides the emotional heartbeat the franchise has needed for a while. If the series nails its tone and delivers on its promise of intimate storytelling this renewal will look less like a bold risk and more like a predictably smart move. For now fans can celebrate the fact that they will get even more adventures from this unlikely duo. If HBO is this confident before viewers even press play there is a good chance A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will be the next essential stop in the ever expanding kingdom of prestige fantasy. Stay tuned because if this really hits the way early buzz suggests it just might become the show that sneaks up on everyone and ends up stealing the throne.
