Cue the ugly cry. The closer on Season 3 of Apple Original series Shrinking is here, and for a full 35 minutes the drama-in-comedy-clothing will have you all up in your feels with this week’s life lessons surrounding family and friends and farewells, and finding ways to move forward.  The series, starring Jason Segel, Harrison Ford, and Jessica Williams, has infused just right amount humor across each of the 11 episodes this season to balance the weight of topics on grief, perfectly imperfect relationships, and mental health.  The April 8 finale puts the finishing touches on a season and current story arc, packed with a bevy of relatable characters we have come to know and love, alongside powerful performances and some of the best writing for TV today. “Goodbye” proves to be the hardest word to say, as lead character and widowed therapist Jimmy Laird (Segel) is confronted with a series of farewells. As he prepares to send his daughter Alice (Lukita Maxwell) off to college (even rehearsing his farewell speech to her), he must also bid his neighborly neighbors, Liz and Derek, (Christa Miller and Ted McGinley) adieu as they head off to Spain before their first grandchild arrives, and in a surprise turn, the unconventional therapist unexpectedly must let go of live-in former patient, Sean (Luke Tennie), who is ready to strike out on his own. All of which comes on the heels of last week’s contentious parting of the ways with Paul (Ford), the mentor we just know Jimmy wants to be his dad, whom he allowed to skip town without their planned bon voyage breakfast when the younger therapist got all up in his feelings. As a matter of fact, it is the power ballad chemistry between Segel and Ford that has been the grounding force throughout this brilliantly-crafted third season. With Jimmy’s incessant need to have THE perfect moment at every opportunity with everyone in his orbit and Paul’s reluctance to play daddy-stand-in for fear of revealing his own vulnerabilities, the yin-and-yang dynamic of the two leads not only drove the narrative forward week-to-week, but also cemented the emotional depth of the series. Their connection onscreen is a reminder of the power of well-matched performances.  Jimmy isn’t the only one finding it hard to say farewell — next door at Liz and Derek’s, tensions flair between usually laid back Alice and her best friend, Summer (Rachel Stubington), just ahead of the younger Laird’s leave for college across the country. Alice accuses Summer of wanting to spend more time with her boyfriend, Connor, despite her limited remaining days at home. While the fun-loving, often unfiltered Summer is game for anything, tensions surface quickly on her disappointment with her BFF moving to the other side of the country. The besties unexpectedly clash in front of the boyfriend and his parents.  Across town, Williams’ Gaby is also going through some things when she inadvertently finds a ring — yes, that ring — hidden in her boyfriend’s dresser. When curiosity kills the cat and she gets the little gem stuck on her finger - yes, that finger — she makes a mad dash for help. Frustrated with the potential ambush of such a life-altering decision, she, too, arrives at Liz and Derek’s, and quickly learns her friends were very much aware of the pending proposal. She believes she is not ready for such leap, coming off her recent patient loss and professional plans.  Preferring to workshop her big life moments in advance, Gaby calls an emergency meeting of her Inner Circle to discuss the unexpected turn of events. With choice friends and family, and one zoomed-in cranky therapist now living on the other side of the country, Gaby talks through the pros and cons of marriage with “Other Derek,” played by Damon Wayans, Jr. You know it’s good-time scene stealer whenever there is a convening of Gaby’s inner sanctum for life advice and tough love conversations. Always pure comedy gold, Williams’ infectious vibrant personality and honest insecurity for Gaby creates an atmosphere that is often hilariously chaotic. The blend of the vulnerability and razor-sharp wit turns these character gatherings into fan favorite moments for the series. Gaby’s fearless approach to tackling life’s dilemmas head-on through her friend group feedback leads to an array of snappy one-liners and unexpected insights. With the dynamic of her inner circle — each character with their own quirks and perspectives — only elevates the humor. As they navigate through the therapist’s wild ideas and emotional rants, the interplay of personalities results in over-the-top reactions and laugh-out-loud moments that come across surprisingly authentic.  Michael Urie and Jessica Williams in "Shrinking," now streaming on Apple TV. The reality check dished out in sassy and sincere spirts brings Gaby to make an important decision about the future. And in the best scene of the episode, a beautiful turn-of-the-tables ensues when everyone’s fav nerd girl gets to add her own unique stamp on a big life moment, leaving the  “Other Derek” with one question to answer… himself.  Following the love and marriage festivities, it hits Jimmy that, as he and his constant companions sit around the patio discussing upcoming life plans, everyone he cares for is truly leaving him. The point is driven home when he finally learns that Sean has, in fact, already moved out of the pool house into his own place. Though, Jimmy tries to shrink his way into telling the young PTSD Army veteran and former patient, it truly is good news, the face crack on the weary therapist says otherwise.  Nevertheless, you will want stay to the end, as the true emotional beats of the episode come in the final three scenes — with Jimmy’s interactions with his daughter at the airport, in-session with a call-back patient from Season 1, and an unexpected, but welcomed and wise visitor from afar, who must use some “jimmying” techniques of his own to help the therapist confront his reality that clinging to the idea of having perfectly crafted life moments, of finding the right words, and of holding on to memories of the past are what’s keeping him stuck.  Life is messy. But if you never give yourself to chance to live it, you will never truly move forward. Yeah, Paul may have said it better, but you get the gist, and so does Jimmy. The season ends on a quiet, yet happy note, with the possibility of new beginnings for our favorite therapist. I am sensing a breakthrough.  Also starring Michael Urie and Wendie Malick, all 11 episodes of Shrinking Season 3 are available now for streaming. Watch them again for the first time on Apple TV. Shrinking returns in 2027 for its fourth season, with the core ensemble cast slated to remain intact.

Will Trent continues to raise the stakes in Season 4, Episode 14, “A Flag in the Mud,” delivering one of its most intense and emotionally layered episodes yet. What begins as a seemingly straightforward shooting quickly spirals into a high-pressure hospital hostage crisis, forcing multiple storylines to collide in unexpected ways. With strong character moments, escalating tension, and a race against time, this episode highlights just how fragile control can be when everything goes wrong at once. Yelling for Help and No One Comes A young man runs at night, yelling for someone to help him. He’s carrying a video game system. Someone is shooting at him; a bullet hits him in the neck, and he goes down, breathing heavily and gasping for air. The next morning, Franklin and Ormewood investigate a murder in an apartment. Franklin searches the victim, Dylan Rome, and finds no drugs. He checks the wallet, which contains a student ID and a library card. Ormewood finds stolen mail and fraudulent loan applications on the kitchen table and notes that the room is a DNA nightmare. There are shell casings on the floor, and he tells the CSIs to bag them as he continues his walkthrough. Following a trail of blood out the door, they find more casings and eventually a bloodstained video game system and controller on the ground. A man comes out onto his front porch to sit, and they go over to question him. He’s blind. When asked if he saw anything, he dryly answers no, because he’s blind. However, he does tell them the victim was shot and that a good Samaritan scooped him up. When asked who the shooter was, the blind man asks them to buy him a sandwich first. Will Trent is on the phone with Amanda, complaining that the FBI can’t find any metadata. He accuses her of holding out on him while she calmly applies lipstick at her desk. Caroline enters Amanda’s office, and Amanda asks about the evidence in Will’s missing Uncle Antonio’s case. She also asks if there’s any intel on Adelaide Trevens that hasn’t been forwarded to Agent Trent. Caroline confirms they’ve sent everything and keeps a spreadsheet documenting it. Will thanks her but still doesn’t understand why Adelaide gave him a phone via “The Commander” if she isn’t going to use it. Amanda insists Antonio is alive, and they both know it. A sharply dressed Betty enters the living room, barking and carrying her toy, which finally gets Will to smile. Amanda mentions she’s leaving for a leadership conference where she’ll be giving a speech. Before hanging up, she tells Will that if the “Adelaide phone” rings, she’ll leave immediately. A Trip to the ER Turns Into a Hospital Crisis A bleeding Nico comes out of the kitchen, telling Will she ruined the potatoes. He sees the deep cut on her hand and insists it’s serious, he can see bone. He tells her to keep her arm elevated. Nico jokes that he should tell Betty she loves her before she passes out, then promptly does. Will rushes her to the ER. Angie and Seth are at the hospital for an ultrasound appointment. They smile at the image of their baby, with Angie joking that having hair in her uterus is both gross and amazing. Their ill-tempered doctor, Dr. Gundis, tells them if they think that’s gross, just wait. She wants Angie in once a week for monitoring and says it’s time for desk duty. Angie agrees she’s ready, while Seth teases her about the timeline. Meanwhile, the young man who was shot lies in the hospital on a ventilator. His mother sits by his side, praying. When he begins to stir, she urgently calls for Dr. Chambliss. A nurse goes to find him. Will waits in the ER lobby, struggling to retrieve snacks from a vending machine while talking to Faith on the phone. She warns him he’ll regret sitting in that waiting room. A man dressed like a Revolutionary War soldier helps him get his snack. Faith tells him he should have gone to urgent care, and he promises to call her later. Back in the waiting room, Will joins Nico, and Angie is there as well, updating them about her appointment upstairs. They quickly help themselves to Will’s snacks. Seth is working the ER desk, and the waiting area is filled with Revolutionary War reenactors. Chaos erupts when the young man’s mother confronts Dr. Chambliss about her son Kevin’s condition. She insists he’s having seizures and could suffer brain damage, but the doctor dismisses her and tries to walk away. When she grabs him, he calls for security. As tensions escalate, she takes a security guard’s gun and shoots Dr. Chambliss in the leg. She then holds everyone hostage, declaring that no one leaves until her son gets proper care. (Disney/Matt Miller) RAMÓN RODRIGUEZ In the aftermath, everyone’s electronics are confiscated. Angie helps treat Dr. Chambliss’ wound, though the injury is severe. Nico tries to comfort another patient while Will and Seth assess Kevin. Seth confirms Kevin has a history of epilepsy and orders medication, but the hospital is in lockdown under a Code Silver, preventing access. Will suggests getting the medication from an ambulance outside, coordinating with Faith, who has taken command on the scene. Mekia, Kevin’s mother, is running out of time. Angie informs Will that the gunshot hit Dr. Chambliss’ femoral artery, and he is in critical condition. Faith negotiates with Mekia, arranging a trade for medication. SWAT prepares IV lorazepam. Will and Seth escort several children out as part of the exchange. Meanwhile, Angie notices reenactors attempting to set up a cannon as a distraction and quickly shuts that down. Scott returns with the medication, and Kevin is treated, but tensions remain high. Mekia destroys the SAT phone and tightens her grip on the situation, holding a security guard at gunpoint. A Blind Witness Saw Something Franklin and Ormewood take the blind witness home, honoring their deal by buying him a sandwich. He explains that the neighborhood has been taken over by a dangerous man named Osiris and that tensions have been high. He believes the boys were trying to steal the video game system and warns that if the second boy isn’t already dead, he soon will be. The detectives head to Ormewood’s house, where his son Max helps access the game console. Max quickly identifies the owner through the account, revealing it belongs to the boy at the center of the hospital hostage situation. Franklin also discovers that Osiris’ phone pinged at St. Peter’s Hospital. Realizing the connection, they rush to warn Faith, leaving the console with Max. At the hospital, Franklin and Ormewood brief Faith, confirming the two cases are linked and escalating the danger. They brainstorm ways to enter without worsening the situation, with Ormewood suggesting a pizza delivery as a possible distraction, knowing Angie’s preferences. Inside, Seth administers the lorazepam to Kevin, but it takes time to work. Will stays with Mekia, who explains her desperation and reveals her military background in Kuwait. She insists her son is a good kid who wants to be an engineer. Financial struggles led her down a difficult path, and Kevin’s attempt to retrieve his game console set everything in motion. Will empathizes, acknowledging how loved ones can end up in danger because of circumstances beyond their control. He promises to ensure Kevin gets proper care. When pizza arrives, Will and Seth use the moment to coordinate efforts. Kevin briefly regains consciousness, but his condition rapidly worsens. When his neck brace is removed, blood gushes out. Seth urgently calls for a vascular surgeon, as Kevin needs immediate surgery. What happens next? Do they find Osiris? Does Kevin survive? What happens during the elevator ride? How does Will’s shoe come into play? Who drank the last of Faith’s Super Orange Drink? Does Max get to keep the game console? What happens to Seth? Does Will tell Nico he loves her? Does Adelaide finally call, and what does she want? This was a powerful episode that began as a robbery and quickly escalated into a shooting, a near-fatal injury, and a full-scale hospital hostage crisis. The two primary cases converged seamlessly, raising the stakes and delivering intense, character-driven drama. Even the usually composed Angie was shaken, gaining a new perspective on Seth’s fears whenever she’s late coming home. The teamwork stood out, particularly between Will and Seth during Kevin’s treatment, and later when Ormewood joined in, adding even more urgency. Faith took command with confidence and authority, while the writing, acting, and direction all worked together to create a gripping, high-stakes episode. With Adelaide finally reaching out, the tension continues to build heading into next week. “A Flag in the Mud” succeeds not only because of its action, but because of the emotional weight behind every decision made under pressure. As the dust settles, the episode leaves lingering questions, deeper character connections, and a clear sense that larger forces are still at play, especially with Adelaide’s looming presence. With momentum building and stakes continuing to rise, Will Trent is setting up what could be a gripping stretch to close out the season.

The hallways of Westside Hospital are usually buzzing with medical miracles and questionable ethics, but Season 2, Episode 20, titled "Big Chair," tried to pivot toward a "new era." With Michael Hamda officially stepping into his "step-down" position as Chief of Surgery, the episode promised a fresh start. But in true medical drama fashion, the transition was about as smooth as a botched intubation. Michael’s Open Door Policy (and a Side of PTSD) Michael kicked things off with the classic "I’m one of you" leadership speech. He’s back to practicing medicine and wants everyone to know his door is always open, an invitation that usually results in nothing but headaches for TV hospital chiefs. In a move that felt a bit like micromanaging under the guise of mentorship, he tasked the new co-chiefs of residents, Amy and Sonya, with shadowing Jake. The goal? Soak up all his wisdom before he vanishes for his pediatric fellowship. However, the "Big Chair" isn't just a title; it's a magnet for trouble. While managing the staff, Michael found himself performing CPR on young Walter, a patient of Gina and TJ’s. The moment wasn't just a medical emergency; it was a traumatic trip down memory lane, forcing Michael to relive the day his and Amy’s son died. It was a heavy beat in an episode that otherwise felt like it was spinning its wheels. The Battle of the Egos: Amy vs. Richard The medical meat of the episode involved Joan Ridley being rushed to the ER after a coughing fit at home. Naturally, Richard was the doctor in charge, which meant Amy was hovering like a helicopter parent with a medical degree. What followed was a dizzying game of "Who’s the Smarter Doctor?" Amy ran extra tests, suspected leukemia, and clashed with Richard at every turn. Joan’s condition spiraled into seizures, and while her son was ready to blindly follow Amy's lead, Richard pointed out that Amy’s initial treatment plan might have actually killed her. They were both right, then both wrong, until they finally realized Joan had picked up a parasite from her time overseas. Between the medical back-and-forth, we got some sentimental flashbacks of a young Amy losing her mother to a heart attack, which served as the origin story for her friendship with Joan. It was sweet, sure, but mostly it felt like padding for a diagnosis that took way too many commercial breaks to solve. Adoptions, Allegations, and Awkward Exes Elsewhere, the personal drama was arguably more interesting than the medicine. Gina, after seeing Walter’s condition worsen, decided she wanted to adopt him. It’s a noble sentiment, though one wonders how her wife will react. Meanwhile, Sonya stepped up for Nurse Liz. While the hospital seems content to let Richard slide back into his old life, Liz isn't forgetting his abuse of power. It was a necessary reality check in an episode that tried to paint Richard as a sympathetic protagonist. On the romance front, the circle of Westside romances continues. Sonya told Jake she’s with TJ, Jake immediately told Amy, and everyone seems surprisingly fine with it. Jake had his own distraction with a "family emergency" involving his daughter getting into a fight at school, leading to a flirty moment with Rachel. By the end of the hour, Jake and Amy patched things up and walked out together, leaving Michael to do what he does best: pine from a distance. The Verdict Despite the high stakes and tragic flashbacks, "Big Chair" felt surprisingly sluggish. It checked the boxes for a penultimate episode but lacked the urgency you’d expect leading into a two-hour finale. It was a lot of medical guesswork and musical chairs with the staff's love lives. What did you think of Michael's first day in the big chair? Let us know in the comments! Do you think Gina's wife will actually agree to the adoption, or is that just more finale drama waiting to happen?

In a move that has the TV industry clutching its collective pearls, CBS is officially hanging up the suit and tie on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert . Starting May 22, 2026, the 11:35 p.m. slot, a piece of real estate once occupied by the likes of David Letterman, will belong to Byron Allen. His comedy roundtable, Comics Unleashed , is moving up from the graveyard shift to become the new face of CBS late night. CBS executives aren't even bothering to find a new host to fill Colbert’s desk. Instead, they are retiring the "Late Show" brand entirely, claiming the host is "irreplaceable." It’s a sweet sentiment, though one that smells remarkably like a corporate budget cut wrapped in a "thank you" card. The New Lineup: Comics and Games The transition sees Allen Media Group leasing the time block in what is known as a "time buy." Here is how your insomnia-fueled viewing schedule is about to look: 11:35 p.m.: Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen (Back-to-back episodes) 12:35 a.m.: Funny You Should Ask (The Jon Kelley-hosted game show) Byron Allen is effectively the landlord of CBS after hours now. For viewers, this means trading Colbert’s political monologues and high-profile celebrity interviews for a revolving door of stand-up comedians and rapid-fire punchlines. It’s a lower-stakes environment that feels more like a 1990s comedy club than a prestige broadcast. Whether Comics Unleashed can capture the cultural zeitgeist the way a traditional talk show does remains to be seen. It’s a gamble that favors "good enough" over "prestige." If you’re a fan of the classic late-night format, this feels like the end of an era. If you just want a few laughs before passing out, Byron Allen is ready to provide the background noise. What do you think of this late-night shakeup? Is Byron Allen replacing Stephen Colbert the future of TV, or is CBS waving the white flag? Head over to the comments to join the discussion and let us know if you'll be tuning in or finally catching up on sleep.

We officially have a roadmap for the next two years of Hollywood’s favorite self-congratulation marathon. The Oscars ceremony dates revealed this week confirm that the 99th and 100th installments of the Academy Awards are locked in, giving us plenty of time to prepare our snacks and our grievances. The 99th Oscars are slated for Sunday, March 14, 2027, while the milestone 100th ceremony will grace our screens on March 5, 2028. Both will air at 7 p.m. ET on ABC, ensuring that those of us on the East Coast can at least attempt to go to bed before Monday morning hits like a cold bucket of reality. A Century of Tuxedos and Tears Setting the date for the 100th anniversary feels like the Academy is trying to manifest stability after years of ratings rollercoasters and envelope-related mishaps. The 2028 ceremony marks a full century of gold statues, and while the industry has changed, moving from silent films to whatever it is Marvel is doing this week, the hunger for a tiny gold man remains the same. These dates aren't just about knowing when to clear your Sunday night; they represent the final lap for the Academy’s long-standing relationship with ABC. After the 100th anniversary bash, the show packs its bags for YouTube in 2029. It’s a bittersweet farewell to traditional broadcasting, but considering how much we all love a "Skip Ad" button, maybe the Academy is finally reading the room. Why the 7 P.M. Start Still Matters The decision to stick with the earlier 7 p.m. ET start time is the one thing the Academy has gotten right lately. It acknowledges that the audience actually has jobs on Monday. By keeping the broadcast in the early evening, they’re desperately clinging to the hope that we’ll watch the "Big Five" categories live rather than just catching the highlights on social media the next morning. For those tracking the road to the 99th Oscars in 2027, the calendar is already filling up. The Governors Awards will kick things off on November 15, 2026, followed by the nominations announcement on January 21, 2027. It’s a long, expensive road paved with "For Your Consideration" billboards, and now we know exactly where the finish line sits. Looking Ahead to the Centennial While the 99th ceremony in 2027 will likely be a standard affair of overlong speeches and montages about "the magic of cinema," all eyes are really on 2028. The 100th anniversary is the Academy's chance to prove the Oscars are still relevant in a world dominated by streaming algorithms. It’s the ultimate "save the date" for a show that has spent the last decade trying to find its footing. Whether you're in it for the fashion, the inevitable snubs, or the chance to see a celebrity lose their cool on live television, the next two years are officially on the books. How do you feel about the Oscars moving to YouTube after the 100th anniversary? Head over to the comments and let us know if you’re ready for a digital-first Academy or if you’ll miss the comfort of cable.

If you had “Dr. Ron faces his mortality while hallucinating about the boss” on your St. Denis Medical finale bingo card, congratulations, you’re as twisted as the writers’ room. The Season 2 finale, “We Make Time,” managed to pack more tension into a twenty-two-minute sitcom window than most prestige dramas manage in a full hour, proving once again that Oregon’s most underfunded hospital is the only place on television where a triple bypass can feel like a punchline. The episode centers on Ron (David Alan Grier), who has spent two seasons perfecting the art of being the most annoyed person in any given room. Seeing him trade his lab coat for a patient gown was a jarring shift, especially since Ron attempted to undergo major heart surgery with the same level of secrecy one usually reserves for a midday nap. Ron’s Triple Bypass and the "Joyce" Bombshell The emotional weight of the episode rested on Alex (Allison Tolman) discovering Ron’s secret. Their confrontation in the stairwell served as a rare moment of genuine sincerity for the series. Ron’s admission, that he didn't tell his family because he didn't want to worry them, with a nod to Alex being his family was the kind of sentimental hook that usually signals a character's exit. Thankfully, Ron survived the table, but the real shocker came during his post-op haze. As the anesthesia wore off, Ron groggily asked, “Where’s my Joyce?” before drifting back to sleep. The look on Alex and Bruce’s faces said it all. We’ve spent two years watching Ron and Joyce Henderson (Wendi McLendon-Covey) trade barbs and bureaucratic insults, but this slip of the tongue suggests that the hospital’s executive director might be more than just Ron’s professional nemesis. It’s a massive pivot for Season 3 to navigate. Ron and Joyce couple name is what? Royce, Jon? Matt and Serena: The Parking Lot Aftermath While Ron was busy being sliced open, Matt and Serena were dealing with the fallout of their long-awaited parking lot kiss. The finale cleverly avoided the "will-they-won't-they" tropes by having the pair spend the entire episode failing to find five minutes of privacy. In a hospital this understaffed, romance is a luxury no one can afford. Their awkward hallway glances provided the perfect comedic counterpoint to the high stakes in the OR. They finally got a moment to themselves and admitted feelings which led to more kissing in the parking lot. Pictured: (l-r) Mekki Leeper as Matt, Kahyun Kim as Serena -- (Photo by: Greg Gayne/NBC) The St. Denis Support System The rest of the staff handled the crisis with their signature lack of grace. Bruce’s overbearing "advocacy" for Ron nearly got him banned from the surgical floor, while Val opted for her usual brand of dark realism, speaking about Ron in the past tense until the he was confirmed stable and she broke down in tears. It’s this specific brand of cynicism that keeps the show grounded; the characters care deeply, but they’re far too tired to be polite about it. With Season 3 already confirmed by NBC, "We Make Time" leaves us with plenty of questions. Will Joyce acknowledge Ron’s subconscious confession? Can Matt and Serena actually function as a couple without the building falling apart? For now, we can just be grateful that the show’s grumpiest surgeon is still kicking. What did you think of that cliffhanger? Head over to the comments and let us know if you're Team Ron and Joyce or if you think the anesthesia was just doing the talking.

The wait for more "dirty cash" and questionable life choices is nearly over. Hulu has finally confirmed the Deli Boys Season 2 premiere date , and fans of the Dar brothers can mark their calendars for May 28, 2026 . After a debut season that left us wondering how two people could be so pampered yet so fundamentally unprepared for a life of crime, the series is doubling down on its unique brand of Philadelphian absurdity. New Faces in the Deli Aisle When we last saw Mir and Raj, they were drowning in the realization that their late father’s convenience store empire was actually a sophisticated front for an international drug smuggling operation. Season 2 promises to crank up the pressure as they navigate an inherited criminal underworld they are barely qualified to visit, let alone run. To make matters even more interesting (and likely more difficult for our protagonists), the production is bringing in some heavy hitters. Fred Armisen joins the regular cast as Max Sugar , a gambling savant described as "deeply unhinged" which, for Armisen, is basically a Tuesday. We also have Kumail Nanjiani stepping in as a high-priced defense attorney, and Andrew Rannells playing an ambitious D.A. who probably views the Dar brothers as the easiest career win of his life. What to Expect on May 28 The second season isn't just bringing back the original crew, including Asif Ali, Saagar Shaikh, and the scene-stealing Poorna Jagannathan, it’s expanding the scope of the Dar family’s problems. Between an obsession-prone guest spot from Lilly Singh and a morally flexible therapist played by Robin Thede , the brothers will have plenty of distractions from the actual task of not getting arrested. The writing continues to lean into the friction between the brothers' desire for a luxury lifestyle and the gritty reality of the "family business." It’s a comedy that succeeds by letting its lead characters be genuinely flawed, making their inevitable stumbles feel earned rather than forced. The Verdict Pre-Premiere The addition of such a stacked guest roster suggests that Hulu knows it has a hit on its hands. By blending sharp cultural commentary with the kind of mishaps that only happen to people with too much money and too little common sense, Deli Boys has carved out a niche that feels fresh in a crowded TV landscape. Get ready for the return of Philadelphia’s least likely kingpins. Whether they actually manage to manage the business or just continue to fail upward remains to be seen, but it’s going to be an entertaining ride. Are you ready for the May 28 premiere? Head over to our comments to share your theories on how the Dar brothers will blow it this time.

The Daily Grind Gets a Glow-Up: Everything We Know About Mindy Kaling’s ‘Not Suitable For Work’ If you’ve ever found yourself weeping into a lukewarm $18 salad while staring at an Excel spreadsheet, Mindy Kaling has a new show specifically designed to make you feel seen and perhaps a little judged. Her latest single-camera comedy, Not Suitable For Work , is officially heading to Hulu and Disney+ this summer, and it looks poised to capture the exact brand of professional misery we’ve all come to love. The Murray Hill Hustle Set in the aggressively overpriced and perpetually caffeinated neighborhood of Murray Hill, the series follows five twenty-somethings who have made "having a career" their entire personality. Forget work-life balance; these characters are aiming for work-work balance. It’s a premise that feels uniquely suited to the post-grad survivalist culture of Manhattan, where your worth is measured by your LinkedIn connections and how many hours of sleep you can skip before your skin turns gray. A Cast That Actually Works The ensemble is a refreshing mix of familiar faces and rising talent who seem perfectly cast to play people you’d avoid at a networking mixer: Ella Hunt leads the pack as AJ Pascarelli, an investment banking analyst who probably hasn’t seen sunlight since the Obama administration. Avantika swaps the Mean Girls vibes for the role of Abby, an assistant to a celebrity stylist, a job that surely involves more screaming than fashion. Will Angus steps in as Davis, the quintessential "finance bro" who likely unironically uses the word "synergy" while hiding a secret heart of gold. Jack Martin and Nicholas Duvernay round out the group as the resident idealist and the overachieving med student/actor hybrid, respectively. Adding some much-needed adult supervision to the mix is Jay Ellis as Bill Gibson, the high-powered managing director who represents the "endgame" these kids are killing themselves to reach. Behind the Scenes Kaling isn't tackling the corporate ladder alone. She’s reuniting with longtime collaborator Charlie Grandy . Given their track record with The Sex Lives of College Girls , expect the dialogue to be fast, the insults to be sharp, and the emotional stakes to be surprisingly high for a show about people who choose to work on Saturdays. Mark Your Calendars Not Suitable For Work premieres June 2, 2026 . The streamer is dropping the first three episodes at once—perfect for a mid-week procrastination session, followed by two episodes every Tuesday until the finale on June 23. It’s the perfect summer binge for anyone who has ever CC’d their boss on an email just to prove they were awake at 3:00 AM. Will these five find happiness, or just a slightly better bonus? We'll find out in June. In the meantime, maybe try closing that spreadsheet for five minutes. Let us know in the comments if you’ll be clocking in for the premiere!

There’s a fine line between gripping sci-fi and “wait, which universe are we in again?” and Dark Matter has made a habit of dancing all over it. Now, with a newly released first look at season two, Apple TV is clearly all-in on sending viewers back down the rabbit hole. Set to return August 28, the genre-bending drama starring Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly isn’t easing into its next chapter. The preview suggests a story that’s more intense, more layered, and just a bit more unhinged—in the best way possible. Season one already asked audiences to keep up with a dizzying array of alternate realities, and season two looks ready to push that concept even further. At first glance, Jason and Daniela Dessen appear to have found something close to peace. Naturally, it doesn’t last. The illusion of stability quickly cracks as Jason’s obsession with the Box deepens, hinting that his curiosity may once again come at a steep cost. Daniela, meanwhile, isn’t just along for the ride, her growing paranoia adds a sharp emotional edge that could rival the show’s high-concept twists. Elsewhere, the supporting cast gets more room to breathe and to complicate things. Alice Braga and Jimmi Simpson appear to step into a more central storyline, with Amanda and Ryan teaming up in a desperate bid to navigate their way across realities. It’s a promising shift that could give the series a stronger ensemble dynamic, rather than keeping the focus narrowly on Jason’s journey. Visually, “Dark Matter” hasn’t lost its edge. The first look leans into moody cinematography and disorienting transitions that reinforce the show’s core themes without overwhelming the narrative. It still looks sleek, but there’s enough texture to keep it from feeling overly polished. The lingering concern is whether the show can keep its increasingly complex narrative from collapsing under its own weight. Season one occasionally tested viewers’ patience, and expanding the scope could either sharpen the storytelling or muddy it further. Even so, the early footage suggests a series that’s not afraid to take risks. Season two of “Dark Matter” looks poised to go deeper into its multiverse premise while raising the emotional stakes across the board. If it can strike the right balance, this return could easily dominate the late-summer TV conversation. And if it stumbles? Somewhere out there, there’s probably a version of this season that absolutely nails it.

The break is over, and apparently, so is the calm. Tyler Perry’s Divorced Sistas is back on April 15 with the second half of its debut season, and if the first batch of episodes laid the groundwork, the next eight are ready to light the match. Streaming exclusively on Paramount+, the midseason return kicks off with a two-episode drop before settling into a weekly rollout through May 27. It’s a strategy that suggests confidence and maybe a little bit of restraint because once this group gets going, things tend to spiral quickly. Created, written, and directed by Tyler Perry, the series follows five women, Rasheda, Geneva, Naomi, Tiffany, and Bridgette as they navigate the emotional minefield of divorce, dating, and everything in between. But the real hook isn’t just romantic drama; it’s the shifting dynamics within the friend group itself. Loyalty is tested, secrets surface, and support systems start to look a little less stable. And that’s exactly where these new episodes are headed. Long-simmering tensions finally boil over, with fractured relationships and hard truths taking center stage. If the early episodes were about setting up the players, this next stretch is about watching them collide. The cast, including LeToya Luckett, Khadeen Indréa, Porscha Coleman, Briana Price, and Jennifer Sears, leans into that escalation. Their teases hint at sharper conflicts, deeper emotional arcs, and characters who are starting to question not just their relationships, but themselves. Naomi, in particular, sounds like she’ll remain a standout, quick-witted, unpredictable, and not exactly known for holding back. Meanwhile, Bridgette is inching toward a long-overdue sense of self, though whether that sticks is another story. Tiffany is opening herself up to love (risky), Rasheda continues to carry everyone else’s burdens (also risky), and Geneva is staring down some uncomfortable truths (you guessed it—risky). What Divorced Sistas  does well is keep its focus tight. It’s less about flashy twists and more about emotional fallout, the kind that builds slowly and hits harder because of it. The dialogue can veer into melodrama, but that’s part of the appeal. These women don’t do subtle, and the show is better for it. With eight episodes left to close out Season 1, the series is clearly aiming to leave a mark and maybe a few broken friendships, in its wake. For viewers already invested, this is where the real payoff begins. And for anyone on the fence, consider this your cue to catch up before the group chat fully implodes.

Paramount+ has officially renewed the breakout reality series for Season 2, and yes, the Shore house is about to get even messier. After a debut that pulled in strong subscriptions and dominated social chatter, the streamer clearly isn’t ready to check out of this party anytime soon. Set against the sun-soaked backdrop of Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada Shore  quickly carved out its place in the ever-expanding “Shore” universe. Built on the blueprint that made Jersey Shore a pop culture staple, the Canadian spin-off leans hard into big personalities, questionable decisions, and late-night antics that inevitably spill into the next day’s drama. Season 1 wrapped on March 19, but the buzz hasn’t slowed, if anything, it’s only gotten louder. Paramount+ credits the series with driving more Canadian subscriptions than any other title on the platform, which explains why renewing it was, as executives put it, an “easy choice.” Translation: people couldn’t look away. Social media helped fuel that momentum, with influencers and creators amplifying the show’s most talked-about moments. Season 2 promises more of what worked the first time, hookups, fights, friendships, and regrettable decisions but with an added twist: new cast members. Casting is currently open for outgoing Canadians aged 19 to 26, meaning the Shore family is about to expand. Whether that leads to fresh alliances or immediate feuds is anyone’s guess, but history suggests the latter is more likely. What makes Canada Shore  stand out isn’t originality, it’s commitment. The series fully embraces its over-the-top energy while still finding moments of genuine connection among its cast. It’s the same formula that powered spin-offs like Geordie Shore and Acapulco Shore, and it continues to resonate with audiences who know exactly what they’re signing up for. Filming for Season 2 is set to begin this summer, which means it won’t be long before the Shore house lights are back on and the drama is, inevitably, turned up. For fans, the takeaway is simple: the party isn’t over. It’s just getting started again.
