Friday Night Lights is all set to return with clear eyes, full hearts, and no chance of losing as Peacock has reportedly been commissioned a reboot for the sports drama series. The show, created by Peter Berg, who also directed the movie version of the original book back in 2004, focused on the Dillon Panthers football team and the journeys of its players.

The show was well-received upon release and was even nominated for Emmys, including for Outstanding Actor, Writing, and Casting, all of which it won. Chandler won the Emmy in 2011 while Connie Britton, who played Tami Taylor, was also nominated. The reboot has been in the making since 2024, with Peacock outbidding Netflix for streaming rights.

Few people return for subsequent seasons of HBO's hit show The White Lotus after their time on it is done. Connie Britton helped launch the show's first season, while Sam Nivola starred in the third season. The two might not have crossed paths on set -- until now. The duo is set to star in Phony, a new mystery series that has been ordered at Hulu, according to recent reports. Britton plays Ellen while Nivola plays Sonny. Ellen is Sonny's mother, the latter who is concerned that an impostor has replaced his mother after he survives a car accident. The mother-son duo are particularly close, as Ellen is a single mother and Sonny's best friend. Additionally, she is the principal of his high school, and Ellen loves Sonny more than any of her students. Anthony King is the showrunner and an executive producer.

Hulu has ordered the upcoming comedy “Phony” to series with 20th Television, starring Connie Britton and Sam Nivola.

The coming-of-age mystery series will follow Sonny (Nivola), a teenager who wakes up in the hospital after a car accident only to discover that his single mother appears to have been replaced by an impostor. The studio describes Sonny to be the “most beloved student at his high school,” but he is only really understood by his mother Ellen (Britton).

Nick Paley, best known for his work on the Oscar-nominated animated feature “Marcel the Shell With Shoes On,” will serve as the writer, director and showrunner for the half-hour series. Anthony King will join the team as co-showrunner.

“Phony” will be executive produced by Britton, King and Paley. Other EPs include Charlie Alderman of Charlie’s Production Company as well as Drew Goddard and Sarah Esberg for Goddard Textiles. Andrea Massaro, who also works for Goddard Textiles,...

Hulu is adding a Phony to its lineup of original series.

The Disney-owned streamer has greenlit Phony, a half-hour mystery starring Connie Britton and Sam Nivola. The show comes from creator Nick Paley (Marcel the Shell With Shoes On, Broad City), who will serve as co-showrunner with Anthony King (The Afterparty, Silicon Valley).

Phony, which Hulu ordered as a pilot in October 2024, centers on Sonny (Nivola), a high school student who wakes up in the hospital after a car accident and discovers his mom, Ellen (Britton), has seemingly been replaced by an impostor. Hulu describes the half-hour show as a “coming-of-age mystery.”

Nivola’s Sonny is the most beloved student at his school, but the only person who really knows him is Ellen, a single mom who also happens to be the principal of the school.

Phony will continue Nivola’s breakout run on American TV, following roles in The Perfect Couple...

Nick Paley’s Hulu pilot Phony has been picked up to series at Hulu, starring Connie Britton and Sam Nivola. In addition to Paley, the project hails from Drew Goddard‘s Goddard Textiles and 20th Television.

Anthony King has joined the project as co-showrunner and executive producer.

Phony is a coming-of-age mystery about a teenager who wakes up in the hospital after a car accident to discover his mom — his only parent and his best friend — appears to have been replaced by an impostor.

Nivola will play Sonny, the most beloved student at his high school, but the only person who really knows him is his mom.

Paley wrote, directed, and edited the first episode and executive produced the half-hour series. King will serve as co-showrunner and EP alongside Britton,...

Five-time Emmy nominee Connie Britton has a case of imposter syndrome… in the literal sense.

Hulu has officially given a series order to Phony, a coming-of-age mystery comedy which sees the Friday Night Lights vet playing Ellen, a single mom to her teenage son Sonny (The White Lotus’ Sam Nivola).

Star John Boyega has had a tremendous post-Star Wars run. After playing Finn in the sequel trilogy, Boyega headlined a string of well-reviewed genre films, returning to his roots. He broke out with a charming lead role in the British science-fiction film Attack the Block, before being cast in one of the lead roles in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens. Among his recent films is the drama-thriller Breaking, which was released theatrically in 2022, following a premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. The fact-based movie was compared to the Al Pacino classic Dog Day Afternoon, and earned excellent reviews. Although it didn't make much of a dent at the box office, Breaking is climbing up the streaming charts following its debut on Netflix.

According to FlixPatrol, Breaking was the ninth-most-watched film on Netflix worldwide on August 5. It outperformed An Honest Life, and finished just behind Gladiator II. The...

Before we go any further, one big question: why did Friday Night Lights really have to end? The critically acclaimed Texas-set drama, which followed the highs and heartbreaks of a small-town high school football team in Dillon, aired its final episode in 2011.

Despite its devoted fanbase and multiple Emmy wins, the show literally teetered on the edge of cancellation due to low ratings. Of course, NBC pulled the plug after two seasons, but thanks to a Hail Mary deal with DirecTV, Friday Night Lights ran for three more seasons before it officially ended.

Today, it’s been 14 years since we last heard Coach Taylor give one of his iconic pep talks, and guys, we might hear it very soon again. While a Friday Night Lights movie was teased by Peter Berg, sadly, it was off the table. Fast-forward to 2024, Peacock outbid Netflix for rights to a full TV reboot with Og showrunner Jason Katims.

Since 2005, "Grey's Anatomy" has captivated an astoundingly broad and enduring audience that can't be denied. Despite its seemingly restrictive setting and genre, it has something to offer everyone -- those thrilled by the functions of a busy hospital; fans of melodramatic reveals and romances, as well as those invested in mature relationships; and especially those who want hundreds of high-quality episodes to keep them company as they grow into the next season of their life.

And yet, despite how culturally relevant the series has remained for over two decades, it's this unique combination of subgenres and styles that makes "Grey's Anatomy" one of the more difficult shows for us to offer recommendations for. Sure, it would be easy enough to toss out 15 of the most popular medical procedurals out there and call it a day -- but we know we can do better. As such, we've gathered a mix of twisty,...

Based on a 1990 novel of the same name by H. G. "Buzz" Bissinger and a 2004 film adaptation of said novel, Peter Berg's series "Friday Night Lights" is, ostensibly, about a scrappy Texas football team who overcome the odds after losing its star player to a traumatic injury right out of the gate. It's actually about the people living in Dillon, Texas, and the football of it all is simply a way to bring all the characters together. With Kyle Chandler as the unflappable and stern but big-hearted Coach Eric Taylor — whose loyal and loving wife Tami Taylor (Connie Britton) by his side along the way — the series became a massive critical success, despite the fact that it never drew a humongous audience during its original run, particularly after its second season was affected by the 2007-08 writer's strike.

While The White Lotus didn’t sweep the Supporting Actor/Actresses in a Drama Series category, as was at times predicted, the HBO powerhouse did match its Season 2 Emmy nomination tally with 23 this year, bringing its to-date total to 66 with 15 overall wins — with more potentially in store at the ceremony to be held Sept. 14.

Once again nominated for Outstanding Drama Series, performers Jason Isaacs, Scott Glenn and Aimee Lou Wood scored their first-ever Emmy nominations this year.

For Supporting Actress in a Drama, Carrie Coon, Parker Posey and Natasha Rothwell were also honored, with the latter seeing a repeat nomination for her role as Belinda, which she originated back in Season 1. They, along with Wood, face one performer each from Paradise, The Pitt and Severance (Patricia Arquette).

Hallmark’s “The Motherhood” arrives at a moment when American television seems particularly invested in redefining what support systems look like for the modern family. Host Connie Britton, drawing from her own 2011 adoption experience, positions herself as both guide and fellow traveler in this exploration of single motherhood’s complex terrain. The show gathers six Kansas City-area single mothers at a farm mixer, establishing its central premise that isolation—not inadequacy—lies at the heart of contemporary parenting struggles.

The intervention comes through “The Neighbor Ladies”: Destini Davis, a parenting coach who reframes self-care as essential rather than selfish; Taryn Hicks, who transforms personal style within realistic budgets; and Angela Rose, whose home design work carves out sacred spaces for maternal identity beyond child-rearing. Each expert represents a different facet of the show’s core argument that single mothers haven’t lost themselves—they’ve simply forgotten how to...

Fox found itself something of a gold mine with "9-1-1." Created by Ryan Murphy, the mega producer behind "American Horror Story" and a host of other successful shows, the series is heading into its ninth season and has aired well over 100 episodes. More importantly, it's given birth to a whole universe of shows, including its first spin-off, "9-1-1: Lone Star," which ended its five-season run earlier this year.

The series follows Owen Strand (Rob Lowe), a New York firefighter who re-locates to Austin, Texas, to focus on saving those who are at their most vulnerable, all the while struggling to solve the problems in his own life. Liv Tyler also starred in the first season as, essentially, the show's co-lead Michelle Blake, a paramedic captain trying to locate her sister (who has been missing for several years).

Tyler is perhaps...

Over the past seven seasons, "9-1-1" has proven itself to be one of the wildest, most unexpected network procedurals on the air. (You can see our list of the show's best episodes here.) It's not a shock that something from the mind of Ryan Murphy would delight in throwing audiences for a loop, considering his past shows like "Glee" and "Nip/Tuck." But the basic idea of "9-1-1," which follows a group of first responders in Los Angeles as they navigate troubled personal lives and also save the lives of countless Angelenos in sticky situations, allows for the unexpected. But sometimes the unexpected means that cast members depart in surprising fashion. Though the show's most recent season ended with a truly jaw-dropping departure, "9-1-1" has always been comfortable saying goodbye to its cast when the moment is right. 

In the show's first season, one of the main characters, Abigail Clark (Connie Britton...

Scarlett Johansson, Matt Damon, Kristin Chenoweth, Danai Gurira and Zayn Malik are among a group of stars who signed an open letter, calling for Congress to reject proposed cuts to the supplemental nutrition assistance program (Snap) and Medicaid outlined in the Trump administration’s “Big Beautiful Bill.”

In the missive published Wednesday by nonprofit organization Feeding America, the entertainment industry figures are urging Congress “to reject cuts to these vital programs that help millions put food on their tables and provide access to health care.”

“We all have powerful memories of sharing meals with friends, with family and even with strangers in moments of celebration, grief or everything in between. Food is a beautiful way humans show care, compassion and love to those around us. It’s a fundamental part of the human experience and a basic right we all deserve,” the letter reads. “Ongoing high grocery costs mean food...

When writer and stand-up comic Wally Baram joined the writers’ room for the debut season of Prime Video’s breakout coming-of-age college dramedy Overcompensating, she had no idea she would become one of the TV season’s most celebrated new actresses. In a story she charmed Kelly Clarkson with on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Baram’s years in the writers’ rooms of Shrinking and What We Do in the Shadows hadn’t included much time spent on sets. Which is how she ended up unknowingly using a prop toilet on the Overcompensating set, and having to quickly remove it and hide the evidence in her purse.

The good news: the poop oops didn’t get her fired (as she feared it might), and the series creator, showrunner, and star, comedian Benito Skinner, became convinced the writer, but inexperienced actor, was the perfect person to play Carmen, the new classmate and...

Once again, Buck (Oliver Stark) needs a new place to live on 9-1-1. But what exactly is it he wants from those new digs? “Nice, natural light, nice place to cook breakfast. I think more than anything, just something that feels like his,” Oliver Stark told TV Insider recently. “The loft that he was in for a long time was great, and obviously, he let that go. And I think he probably liked living at Eddie’s [Ryan Guzman], but it wasn’t his, right? He was there for a reason: to help out his friend. And I think it’s time for him to step into that next version of himself reflected in the space that he lives in.” It was in Season 2 that Buck found the loft in which he lived until Season 8 after he moved out of his ex-girlfriend Abby’s (Connie Britton) home. But then...

For eight seasons, Oliver Stark has appeared in the role of Evan “Buck” Buckley on 9-1-1. During that time, the character has celebrated plenty of ups and downs, but his most freeing one came back in Season 7 when he came out as bisexual. The revelation would put Buck on the path to learning more about himself, as he entered a relationship with his fellow firefighter, Tommy Kinard (Lou Ferrigno Jr.). Although the couple has since called it quits, Buck’s sexuality remains an important piece of who he is and how he moves through the world. Seeing no better way to celebrate Pride month than with an outpouring of joy, Stark took to social media to thank the fans for their support of Buck and share his gratitude for being given the chance to play the character.

Decked out in his firefighting garb, Stark smiles as he addresses the camera and says,...

One of the great joys in watching HBO's "The White Lotus" is witnessing its immaculate ensemble cast each season. From breakout talents to generational stars, showrunner Mike White and casting director Meredith Tucker always assemble an exciting, diverse team of actors and actresses to match wits and even trade spars, making for an exciting prestige TV experience. Some of them play into their effortlessly executed character types, while others surprise us with new dimensions to their traditional personas.

American Horror Storyco-creator Ryan Murphy gives fans a major update on the series' thirteenth season.

Per TV Line, Murphy opened up about the future of American Horror Story when asked about the series while promoting American Love Story online. "Sarah Paulson and I are cooking up something cool," Murphy confirmed.

The first season of American Horror Story, subtitled "Murder House," premiered on FX back in 2011 to rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. The first season starred Connie Britton and Dylan McDermott as Vivien and Ben Harmon, a couple who move from Boston to Los Angeles after a miscarriage and infidelity threaten to tear their marriage apart. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that there are malevolent, supernatural forces at play, some of which exist right before the Harmon's very eyes without the couple ever realizing the truth until it is far too late. "Murder House" also marked...

Yes, 9-1-1 is a procedural, and by the very definition, it is the detailed and realistic treatment of a professional procedure.

There are police procedurals, medical procedurals, legal procedurals, and then there are ones that don’t fit into a cute little box like 9-1-1.

These types of series are typically story-driven, namely cases of the week, and character-driven stories second, but 9-1-1 has never been the typical procedural, and the key to their long-term success has always lain in that convergence of adrenaline, heart-pumping action, and beautifully crafted character stories.

(Disney/Christopher Willard)

When 9-1-1 Season 1 premiered, the hook for many new viewers was the star-studded lineup, which included Angela Bassett, Peter Krause, and Connie Britton, alongside the action.

Early promotion sold a show that would have daring emergencies, and that’s something the series has excelled at over its first eight seasons.

The Bear Season 4 Could Be Cooking...

As excitement builds around the upcoming Friday Night Lights reboot, fans have been speculating whether any of the beloved original cast members will return to the new series. And the show’s creator, Peter Berg, who brought the heartfelt Texas football drama to life, recently addressed these hopes.

While he’s not opposed to familiar faces making a comeback, Berg made it clear that their return hinges on one key condition: that they won’t be getting the spotlight in the reboot, as he is focused on reinventing the series.

It's hard to find a bigger "watercooler talk" show right now than The White Lotus. The HBO dramedy has become a smash hit thanks to its mix of compelling characters, gorgeous exotic locales, and some often insane goings-on. Each season provides a new pack of wealthy but troubled people uncovering secrets while on a vacation that's anything but restful.

The show excels thanks to its wonderful cast with Jennifer Coolidge winning an Emmy for her turn. There's also been Connie Britton, Alexandra Daddario, Sydney Sweeney, Meghan Fahy, Aubrey Plaza, Carrie Coon, Leslie Bibb, Aimee Lou Wood, Walton Goggins, and more than can be counted.

Among the stars of season 3 was veteran actress Parker Posey as Victoria, a wife and mother whose family journey takes her on a unique course. Variety had Posey talking to longtime friend Lisa Kudrow, with the conversation turning to The White Lotus and Posey asking the...

Every so often, a new comedy series taps into something bigger than laughs. It can connect to the awkwardness, beauty and heartbreak of becoming who you are, especially when the process is messy, loud and absolutely hilarious.

Prime Video’s coming-of-age comedy “Overcompensating” does precisely that, pairing sharp writing with an emotional core that captures the chaos of young adulthood. With a fearless ensemble, a dynamic creator-star at its center, and a pulse on today’s culture, the series deserves serious Emmy consideration.

Created by and starring Benito Skinner — who rose to prominence through viral characters on TikTok and YouTube — “Overcompensating” is loosely inspired by Skinner’s college experience. He plays Benny, a closeted former football player navigating his identity while forging a fast, complicated friendship with Carmen, a sardonic high school outsider played by Wally Baram. With chaotic encouragement from Benny’s older sister Grace (Mary Beth Barone) and...

If there's one new show everyone has been talking about lately, it's the new Prime Video original comedy series Overcompensating. The series debuted on May 15 and quickly found a devoted fandom who adore the characters, the sense of humor, and the vaguely nostalgic mid-2010s time period. It's an unexpected millennial delight from creator and star Benito Skinner.

Before the series premiered, and even after, there has been inescapable chatter about the Overcompensating cast being "too old" to play college students. Admittedly, the characters are played by actors in their 20s and 30s, with Skinner himself playing a college freshman at 31 and Adam Dimarco playing a college senior at 35. Some viewers haven't been able to get past it.

In the season 3 premiere of their podcast Ride, Skinner and co-host Mary Beth Barone, his fellow Overcompensating cast member, spoke at length about the series. Nothing was off limits as they shared...

Buck’s (Oliver Stark) love life still remains a puzzle in 9-1-1 compared to his fellow first responders, who have figured out their personal lives. Well, that’s also apart from his best pal Eddie (Ryan Guzman). Ahead of the procedural’s Season 8 finale, Stark and co-star Aisha Hinds, who portrays Hen, voiced their opinions about Buck’s romance, particularly the influence of his past relationships and what lies ahead in his romantic future.

Speaking with Swooon, Hinds had only good things to say about Buck’s first love interest in 9-1-1, Abby (Connie Britton). She described the duo’s relationship as one that “kind of grounded” Buck, who initially was all over the place until Abby, who brought out “some of the best parts of him.” The actress moved on to Buck and Tommy’s (Lou Ferrigno Jr.) romance, which ended in Season 8 and was “kind of...

The evolution of online stars into mainstream notoriety is nothing new in 2025, with the likes of Bo Burnham and Addison Rae making the switch in recent years. Another name that can now be added to this ever-growing list is Benito Skinner's, perhaps better known online by his stage name “Benny Drama," who has recently made a big streaming splash with his comedy-routine-turned-tv-show, Overcompensating, a series co-executive produced by musical sensation Charli Xcx.

After premiering on May 15, 2025, on Prime Video, the series has gained plenty of attention thanks to positive word-of-mouth from strong critical and audience reception.
