As Deadline revealed in March, Sikora, best known for playing Tommy Egan in the “Power’ Universe, will portray Bill Sterling. Bill is Jax’s coworker at her firm, Binder, Hurwitz & Stewart. He started his law career later in life after serving in the Coast Guard for ten years. As he looks toward making partner, his proximity to Jax becomes imperative to his success.

Reasonable Doubt...

Rapper Kash Doll has joined “Reasonable Doubt” for its third season as a recurring guest star.

The Detroit-born musician will take on the role of Nisha, the close friend and assistant to Wendy (Rumer Willis), whom she is bound to by “a deeply personal loyalty,” per Hulu-Onyx Collective’s description of the character.

Kash Doll is latest addition to the “Reasonable Doubt” cast. Earlier this month, the series shared the news that Morris Chestnut would be returning the legal drama. And along with him comes several newbies to the show, including Brandee Evans (“P-Valley”), Rumer Willis (“Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood”), Richard Brooks (“Law & Order”), Keith Arthur Bolden (“Till”), April Parker Jones (“The Other Black Girl”) and Kyle Bary (“Ginny & Georgia”).

Back in March, TheWrap reported that “Power Book IV: Force” star Joseph Sikora would also be coming into the fold as a series regular alongside Emayatzy Corinealdi,...

“Suits LA” has been canceled at NBC after just one season, Variety has learned.

The expansion of the “Suits” universe originally launched on NBC in February. The cast includes Stephen Amell, Lex Scott Davis, Josh McDermitt and Bryan Greenberg. A number of original “Suits” cast members have made appearances, including Gabriel Macht, Rick Hoffman, and David Costabile.

The show had a lot of buzz behind it going into the premiere, given that “Suits” had found an incredible new life on streaming on Netflix. But “Suits LA” failed to match that hype, with the show making only a small dent in the ratings and drawing mostly negative reviews upon its debut.

The official series description states:

“Ted Black (Amell), a former federal prosecutor from New York, has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. His firm is at a crisis point, and in order to survive, he must...

Exclusive: It’s one and done for NBC’s legal drama Suits LA headlined by Stephen Amell, a spinoff of the long-running USA Network series Suits.

Given the high-profile IP involved, NBC had high expectations for the series from Suits creator Aaron Korsh. They never materialized: after an Ok premiere, viewership for the offshoot, which airs on Sunday, has remained low.

That is with NBC and Korsh pulling out all the stops and bringing back popular original cast members to play with the new cast. They included Gabriel Macht, who reprised the role of Harvey Specter in a three-episode arc, Rick Hoffman as eccentric Louis Litt in episode 112 and David Costabile as Daniel Hardman in episode 109.

Additionally, in an effort to bring in more eyeballs, NBC staged a Thursday night Suits LA takeover with a three-hour marathon of repeats on March 27.

It’s been about five months since Hulu’s legal drama Reasonable Doubt was renewed for a third season, but sadly, no premiere date has been announced as of this writing. Nevertheless, the streamer has confirmed that filming is ongoing in Atlanta, which TV Insider reported, while also dropping a terrific casting update in the shape of Morris Chestnut. Chestnut has been most recently seen leading the CBS medical-mystery series Watson, which premiered earlier in January and has already been renewed for another run.

When Reasonable Doubt returns, Chestnut will reprise his role as Corey Cash in a recurring capacity. Corey is a talented defense attorney that Jax (Emayatzy Corinealdi) brought in to assist on a case in the show’s second season, though as a main character. Chestnut’s anticipated return coincides with the addition of several new cast members to the upcoming season, namely, Kyle Bary as Ozzie,...

Morris Chestnut is heading back to the courtroom to reprise his role as the charming and sharp defense attorney Corey Cash in hit Hulu-Onyx Collective legal drama “Reasonable Doubt” Season 3.

But Chestnut is not coming alone. Brandee Evans (“P-Valley”), Rumer Willis (“Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood”), Richard Brooks (“Law & Order”), Keith Arthur Bolden (“Till”), April Parker Jones (“The Other Black Girl”) and Kyle Bary (“Ginny & Georgia”) have all joined the series as recurring guest stars.

Bary will star as Ozzie, a child sitcom star who is up for a franchise role, but he comes to Jax with a “dilemma that turns messy quickly.” Willis will play Ozzie’s stylist and confident girlfriend Wendy. Evans plays Ozzie’s “quick, sharp and professional” agent Monica. Also playing a member of Ozzie’s team is Parker Jones. She will star as Rosie,...

Onyx Collective is rounding out cast for Season 3 of Hulu’s hit legal drama Reasonable Doubt.

We’ll be seeing a bit less of Morris Chestnut, who joined the series in Season 2 as a series regular, and is returning as a recurring for the upcoming season. Also joining Season 3 in recurring roles are Kyle Bary (Ginny & Georgia), Rumer Willis (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Brandee Evans (P-Valley), Richard Brooks (9-1-1), April Parker Jones (Tom Swift) and Keith Arthur Bolden (Cobra Kai).

They join returning series regulars Emayatzy Corinealdi, McKinley Freeman, Tim Jo, Angela Grovey and recently announced new series regular Joseph Sikora.

Yvette Nicole Brown is set to guest star in an upcoming episode of “Suits LA,” Variety has learned exclusively.

Brown will play a version of herself in the episode airing May 4 on NBC, streaming the following day on Peacock. The official description for the episode states:

“Ted (Stephen Amell) must deliver on a request from client Patton Oswalt (as himself). Amanda (Maggie Grace) turns to Erica (Lex Scott Davis) for help defending a teen star accused of attacking her dad. Stuart’s (Josh McDermitt) accident sends him into a spiral. In the past, Ted and Eddie (Carson A. Egan) come to LA for Stuart’s bachelor party.”

Brown previously starred in the popular NBC sitcom “Community,” with a movie followup to the show currently in the works at Peacock. Brown has also starred in shows like “The Mayor,” “Drake and Josh,” ”The Odd Couple,” “Big Shot” and “Act Your Age.

Another “Suits” alum is coming to “Suits LA.” Variety has learned exclusively that David Costabile is set to appear on the recently-launched NBC series, reprising the role of Daniel Hardman.

Costabile will appear in a guest star role in a future episode, but exact details are being kept under wraps. He will be the latest original “Suits” actor to appear on “Suits LA,” joining both Gabriel Macht and Rick Hoffman.

In the original series, Hardman was formerly a partner at Pearson Hardman before he was forced out of the firm when it was discovered he was embezzling money to finance an affair, originally claiming he was doing so to help his dying wife. He would appear throughout the course of the show in various attempts to take over the firm and cause problems for Harvey and Jessica.

Costabile has starred in a number of critically-acclaimed TV dramas throughout his career,...

NBC’s Suits spinoff got to a slower ratings start than anticipated, and the network is looking to correct that, slating a Thursday night takeover March 27 with encores of three back-to-back Suits: LA episodes. They will replace previously scheduled reruns of NBC’s regular Thursday drama lineup.

Unlike most similar stunts where viewers are given a chance to catch up on a new show from the beginning, NBC will not be re-airing the Suits: LA pilot. Instead, it will rebroadcast the most recent Episodes: 3(“He Knew”), 4 (“Batman Returns”) and 5 (“You’re on Your Own”), the latter of which will air its original telecast this Sunday, March 23.

The choice likely has to do with Suits: LA‘s evolution. After a rocky start, the show started to get closer to Suits and its breezy style and lighter tone, in part due to studio UCP bringing back original directors who had shaped the USA Network series.

Joseph Sikora is the newest talent to join the hit Hulu-Onyx Collective legal drama “Reasonable Doubt” for Season 3, TheWrap has learned.

“The plot thickens…” the official Instagram page for the series boasted in a post on Tuesday, adding a few details about what fans can expect to see from the longtime “Power” franchise star’s new character Bill Sterling. “Joseph Sikora is bringing his talent to ‘Reasonable Doubt’ Season 3! Say hello to Bill Sterling, the man who has got his eyes on Jax and the partner position.”

Sikora’s Sterling, Jax Stewart’s (Emayatzy Corinealdi) coworker, launched a career in law later on in life following a 10-year tenure as a Coast Guard. But now, he’s looking to lock in the partner spot at Jax’s law firm Binder, Hurwitz & Stewart, where his “proximity to Jax becomes imperative to his success.

“Reasonable Doubt” has cast Joseph Sikora as a series regular for its upcoming third season, Variety has learned.

Sikora will appear in Season 3 of the Onyx Collective series as Bill Sterling. The character is described as “Jax’s (Emayatzy Corinealdi) coworker at her firm Binder, Hurwitz & Stewart. Bill started his law career later in life after serving as a Coast Guard for ten years. As he is looking to make partner, his proximity to Jax becomes imperative to his success.”

Along with Corinealdi and Sikora, series regulars for Season 3 include McKinley Freeman, Tim Jo and Angela Grovey.

Sikora is best known for his role as Tommy Egan in the hit Starz crime drama “Power,” on which he starred throughout its six-season run. He then led the spinoff series “Power Book IV: Force,” which is ending with its upcoming third season. Sikora’s other TV roles include stints on “Ozark,” Season 1 of “True Detective,...

Exclusive: NBC’s Suits LA will welcome Rick Hoffman later this season, reprising the role of Louis Litt he originated in the mothership series, USA Network’s Suits. Sources close to production confirm he will appear in one episode this season with the potential to return for more if NBC picks up the Aaron Korsh-created legal drama for a second season.

Hoffman is the second actor from Suits to return to the universe following Gabriel Macht, who will appear in three episodes this season. Litt and Macht’s Harvey Spector will not coincide in any episodes, we hear.

Louis Litt is an attorney specializing in corporate finance who provides the series with comedy relief. He’s the character you love to hate because he has a tough outer core but is actually a sensitive softie on the inside. Louis is famous for using the catchphrase “You Just Got Litt Up,...

“Suits” is off to a slow start as it returns to television. “Suits LA,” NBC’s new spinoff of the hit USA Network series, debuted with 2.6 million viewers on Sunday night.

Out of four new drama series on the network’s lineup this season, the premiere viewership of “Suits LA” ranked in third, per Live + Same Day data from Nielsen: “Brilliant Minds” came to NBC with 3.9 million viewers on Monday, Sept. 23 while “The Hunting Party” premiered on Sunday, Jan. 19 with 3.1 million viewers. Only “Grosse Pointe Garden Society” lagged behind, debuting with 1.8 million viewers at 10 p.m. on Sunday, directly after “Suits LA.”

“Suits LA” was only able to retain 50% of the audience that tuned into NBC in the timeslot directly before its 9 p.m. bow, as the Tom Hanks-narrated nature documentary “The Americas” averaged 5.2 million viewers in the second block of its premiere, up from 4.7 million during its first hour.

Updated: Welcome to the West Coast. NBC has dropped the first trailer for Suits spinoff Suits LA which opens with Stephen Amell’s Ted Black getting hit with an insult right off the bat.

“You don’t represent me. I need someone with confidence. And you just seem a little sheepish to me.” That’s followed with an emphatic Ted asserting he’s ‘the best attorney in the country.”

With the move to the West Coast, Ted warns, “It’s different out here. People lie. They cheat. They do whatever they can to win,” as we see shots of people breaking things in offices, fighting and apparently taking a bribe. The clip concludes with a quick shot of a photo of Gabriel Macht’s Harvey Specter.

Macht teased his upcoming role on the spinoff back in November on Instagram, writing “When an old friend is in need…it’s time...

With only one month to go until the premiere of “Suits: LA,” NBC finally dropped the first official trailer for its highly-anticipated new drama. Prepare for higher stakes, shorter tempers and the return to the “Greenback Boogie” as this legal drama tackles the West Coast.

“I need someone with confidence. And you just seem a little sheepish to me.” That insult is lodged at Ted Black (Stephen Amell) seconds into this first look, prompting a faux wince from Ted. And with that quippy exchange, “Suits” is back, baby.

The rest of the trailer is filled with confident people in stylish, well, suits, trading insults, double entendres and cocky statements about how they’re the best of the best in Tinseltown. But it’s not a full return to normal. A new coast presents new challenges for this former New York federal prosecutor.

“It’s different out here. People lie. They cheat.

NBC has shared the official trailer for the all-new legal drama Suits LA, starring Stephen Amell, Lex Scott Davis, Josh McDermitt and Bryan Greenberg. The series is scheduled to premiere on February 23 at 9 p.m. Et/Pt.

Suits LA is the second spinoff of Suits following the political drama series Pearson, which was created by Aaron Korsh and Daniel Arkin. Gina Torres reprised the role of Jessica Pearson in the 2019 show.

Amell plays Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York who has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles.

His firm is at a crisis point, and to survive, he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career.

Ted is surrounded by a stellar group of characters who test their loyalties to both Ted and each other while they can’t help but mix their personal and professional lives.

All of this...

“Suits LA” has added three new guest stars.

The main cast of “Suits LA” includes Stephen Amell, Lex Scott Davis, Josh McDermitt, and Bryan Greenberg. It was also reported that “Suits” star Gabriel Macht will appear in a multi-episode arc of “Suits LA” as well.

“Suits: LA” has added four actors in guest star roles, Variety has learned exclusively.

The quartet join previously announced cast members Stephen Amell, Lex Scott Davis, Josh McDermitt, and Bryan Greenberg. It was also recently announced that “Suits” star Gabriel Macht will appear in a multi-episode arc of “Suits: LA” as well.

The official logline for the series states:

Exclusive: This is the news Suits fans have been waiting for — the star of the hit legal drama will appear on the upcoming NBC spinoff, Suits LA. Gabriel Macht, who played the brash and suave super lawyer Harvey Specter on the original series, will reprise his role on the offshoot in a three-episode arc, sources tell Deadline. A rep for NBC declined to comment.

Since Suits LA was announced a year ago, on the heels of the original series’ streaming resurgence on Netflix, there has been talk about Og cast members appearing in the follow-up. NBC executives have hinted at that possibility, with most Suits alums publicly saying that they would do it if Aaron Korsh, creator of both the original and the spinoff, called them.

Macht, who had not indicated whether he would come back, has always been at the top of wish lists to help launch the new series,...

The anticipation for Suits: L.A. has been simmering for over a year, but the cast and crew seemingly only just started filming the episodes in November 2024. Aaron Korsh's upcoming legal drama series serves as a spinoff to Suits, a widely successful USA Network show that ran for nine seasons. Four years following the Suits series finale, Netflix added the show to its streaming library, where it experienced a resurgence that many could not have predicted. Numerous subscribers discovered Suits for the first time, and thanks to its unexpected increase in popularity, Universal Television and NBCUniversal ordered a spinoff.

Despite ending in 2019, Suits impressively became the most streamed TV show in the United States in 2023 after experiencing a surge of popularity when added to Netflix's streaming library. According to Variety, Suits was watched for a total of 57.7 billion minutes in 2023.

Korsh returns as the showrunner/creator of the Suits spinoff,...

Hulu has approved a third season of the popular court drama “Reasonable Doubt.” This shows that the streaming service is committed to showing many stories. Onyx Collective produced the show’s first season. It will return after a successful second season ending in October 2023.

Emayatzy Corinealdi plays Jacqueline “Jax” Stewart, a smart criminal defense lawyer in Los Angeles. The show has captivated viewers with its intricate plot and detailed character growth. Rotten Tomatoes gives the show a perfect score of 100%, which shows how well-liked it is by critics.

The show’s creator, Raamla Mohamed, and executive producers, Hollywood pros Kerry Washington and Larry Wilmore, make it great. Through her production company Simpson Street, Washington and Wilmore have done a lot to make the show’s unique concept come to life.

After ending ” UnPrisoned, ” Hulu’s Onyx Collective now has only two scripted shows. The renewal comes at a good time for the network,...

Hulu has no doubt about the future of its legal drama, Reasonable Doubt, as the streamer just renewed the series for a third season. The Kerry Washington-produced show has been a low-key hit since it debuted in 2022, so it's not surprising to see it getting another installment. Some fans, however, were unsure about its fate, as its second season concluded almost a month ago.

But there are no objections, as far as The Hollywood Reporter can tell, to this show returning to court.

The well-reviewed (and received) series came to Hulu from the Onyx Collective, with executive producers Kerry Washington, Pilar Savone, Larry Wilmore, and Anton Cropper. Creator and showrunner Raamla Mohamed also serves as an executive producer. Mohamed was also a former writer on Scandal the show that made Washington a household name. The series has a 100% fresh rating for both seasons on Rotten Tomatoes.

What Is 'Reasonable Doubt' About?...

Today, Onyx Collective and 20th Television announced a season three renewal for the Hulu Original drama series Reasonable Doubt, which comes from executive producers Raamla Mohamed, Kerry Washington, and Larry Wilmore.

Reasonable Doubt centers on Los Angeles-based high-powered criminal defense attorney Jacqueline “Jax” Stewart (Emayatzy Corinealdi) as she deals with past traumas, a struggling marriage, motherhood, and a murder case, all while trying to keep her life together.

Reasonable Doubt was created, written, and executive produced by Raamla Mohamed. Kerry Washington executive-produces alongside Pilar Savone for Simpson Street, Larry Wilmore via Wilmore Films, and Anton Cropper.

The series hails from Onyx Collective and is produced by 20th Television, a part of Disney Television Studios.

The cast includes Emayatzy Corinealdi as Jax Stewart, McKinley Freeman as Lewis Stewart, Morris Chestnut as Corey Cash, Tim Jo as Daniel, Angela Grovey as Krystal, Thaddeus J. Mixson as Spenser, and Aderinsola Olabode as Naima.

Hulu is heading back to court with Reasonable Doubt.

The Disney-owned streamer has renewed the series for a third season. The pickup comes about four weeks after Reasonable Doubt concluded its second season.

Following the finale, creator and showrunner Raamla Mohamed told The Hollywood Reporter that she was hopeful for a third season. “They [Hulu] definitely are happy with the way the show is performing, and it’s doing well and people are really excited about it so that makes me very happy. I’m hoping that I hear something before the end of the year either way. The most important thing is that people keep watching, keep telling their friends.”

Reasonable Doubt comes from Disney’s Onyx Collective and 20th Television (the show had been at the now-shuttered ABC Signature but will continue under the 20th banner). The legal drama centers on L.A. defense attorney Jacqueline “Jax” Stewart (Emayatzy Corinealdi...

Hulu has handed a Season 3 renewal to Reasonable Doubt, its original legal drama series from Onyx Collective, produced by 20th Television, a part of Disney Television Studios, and executive produced by Raamla Mohamed, Kerry Washington and Larry Wilmore. Additionally, Mohamed, the series’ creator and showrunner, has signed an overall deal with 20th TV, Deadline can reveal exclusively.

The renewal comes less than a month after Reasonable Doubt’s Season 2 finale, with the series, starring Emayatzy Corinealdi, remaining a fixture in Hulu’s daily Top 15 throughout its second-season run.

Mohamed has been at Disney and ABC Studios/ABC Signature since 2009 when she became a writers’ Pa on Grey’s Anatomy and subsequently a fellow in the Disney/ABC Writing program. She went on to work as a writer-producer on Scandal and has been under overall deals at the studio since 2018, serving as a co-executive producer on the Emmy-nominated Hulu limited series Little Fires Everywhere and creator,...

Order in the court! Onyx Collective’s hit legal drama “Reasonable Doubt” has been renewed on Hulu for Season 3.

That’s right, the verdict is in and Jacqueline “Jax” Stewart (Emayatzy Corinealdi) is headed back into the courtroom alongside the members of her dream legal team Krystal (Angela Grovey) and Daniel (Tim Jo). And with the way last season ended — no spoilers — Jax and her husband Lewis (McKinley Freeman) are going to need all the help they can get.

While Morris Chestnut guest starred in the second season, there are no confirmed cast details for now. However, the main crew included Corinealdi, Freeman, Grovey, Jo, Pauletta Washington, Aderinsola Olabode, Thaddeus J. Mixson, Victor Rasuk, Shannon Kane, Nefetari Spencer, Yvonne Cox and more.

The series, which was created and written by Raamla Mohamed (“Scandal”), centers in on beautiful and confident Los Angeles-based criminal defense attorney as she juggles motherhood, a struggling marriage,...

“Reasonable Doubt” has been renewed for Season 3 at Hulu, Variety has learned.

The legal drama series airs under the Onyx Collective brand at the Disney-backed streaming service and was the first scripted show to launch under that brand. Season 2 of the show wrapped up in October after premiering in August, while the first season originally debuted on Hulu in 2022.

Emayatzy Corinealdi leads the series as Jacqueline “Jax” Stewart, who is described as “a Los Angeles-based high-powered criminal defense attorney, as she deals with past traumas, a struggling marriage, motherhood and a murder case, all while trying to keep her life together.”

Along with Corinealdi, the cast of the series includes McKinley Freeman, Morris Chestnut, Tim Jo, Angela Grovey, Thaddeus J. Mixson, and Aderinsola Olabode.

“Reasonable Doubt” was created by Raamla Mohamed, who also serves as an executive producer. Kerry Washington executiveproduces along with Pilar Savone for Simpson Street, with Larry Wilmore...

Morris Chestnut, the latest star to join Hulu-Onyx Collective’s hit legal drama “Reasonable Doubt,” says he’d love to be a permanent addition to Jax Stewart’s (Emayatzy Corinealdi) bench.

“I would love to be,” the actor told TheWrap. “Without a doubt. Working with Raamla [Mohamed] and Emayatzy, the whole cast is incredible. Raamla writes a great script. I couldn’t wait to see what was going to be in the next script after I read the previous one. I would come back in a heartbeat.”

Chestnut steps into the courtroom as Corey Cash, the suave, media-savvy and extremely calculated defense attorney that Stewart needs to help her win her best friend’s murder case. However, his unique tactics could prove to be more dramatic than helpful.

And speaking of heartbeats, it looks like Corey might be making Jax’s (and fans’) beat a little harder. After the two characters...

“Reasonable Doubt” stars Angela Grovey and Tim Jo said executive producer and showrunner Raamla Mohamed encourages the cast to lean into their own creativity when it comes to delivering comedic lines.

“I’d say it’s a real testament to Raamla Mohamed, who is an expert craftsman,” Jo, who plays Jax Stewart’s private investigator Daniel Kim, told TheWrap. “I can’t imagine the amount of effort and thought that goes into every word, and into the entire show that is her baby. But when she herself comes to me and says, ‘Tim, you can say whatever,’ I know that’s not glib, I know that’s her placing a lot of faith in me. So I really appreciate that, especially this season. I ran with it and said, ‘I’m going to say whatever I feel like.’ And so I did do that.”

Grovey chimed in, saying Mohamed’s...

“He actually expressed how much he loved the show, and when we approached him, wanted to be a part of it, and he just made it work,” Wilmore shared as he opened up about how much fans and some celebs enjoy the series. “So it’s fun to have that, that people feel about that, because you don’t know when you’re doing it. People might hate it, you have no idea, so it’s nice to have that.”

“Reasonable Doubt” Season 2 is headed back into the courtroom, and the cast, as well as the slew of new additions are ready to put it in session.

It’s been a minute since Season 1 of “Reasonable Doubt,” and between Jax getting kidnapped by a deranged client-turned-lover and her bestie Shanelle (Shannon Kane) seemingly murdering her husband, there’s no telling what’s about to go down in Season 2. But the series brought in veteran actor Morris Chestnut, who will star as defense attorney Corey Cash, to help lift the load.

Other newcomers to the series include Essence Atkins, who will star as a domestic violence expert named Dr. Brandy Michaels; Melissa Ponzio, who plays a new District Attorney named Lucy Wargo; Vaughn W. Hebron, who will star as an ex-NFL player and Jt’s (Shannon’s now-dead husband) mentee named Adrian Hunter; and Kandi Burris, who will play Eboni Phillips,...

“Reasonable Doubt” has finally returned for Season 2, and Jax Stewart (Emayatzy Corinealdi) is back on the case. This time around the confident and laser-sharp attorney is bringing suave and media-savvy defense attorney Corey Cash (Morris Chestnut) along with her.

In the Season 1 finale, fans were hit with a huge cliffhanger when Jax’s friend Shanelle (Shannon Kane) appeared to have murdered her former sports giant husband Jamarian “Jt” Tucker (Christopher Mychael Watson). Season 2 picks up right where last season left off, and the whole town has suspicions that his death wasn’t the result of self-defense but rather a ploy to take ownership of his financial assets.

“Reasonable Doubt” was created, written and executive produced by Raamla Mohamed. Kerry Washington executive produces alongside Pilar Savone for Simpson Street, Larry Wilmore via Wilmore Films and Anton Cropper. Shawn Holley, Jon Leshay, Tamara Gregory, Lena Cordina, Tash Gray and Resheida Brady serve as co-executive producers.

Hulu has revealed the official trailer for the second season of Reasonable Doubt, which will premiere on August 2, 2024.

After a year of questionable decisions from streaming services that involve password sharing, app overhauls, advertisement tiers, removal of content and so on, the bubble is somewhat bursting as companies look to regain profitability through the purging of shows. It was not long ago that news broke about the streaming platform, Paramount+, canceling a number of projects, including Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, Star Trek: Prodigy, The Game and Queen of the Universe. Not only is the streamer canceling these movies and shows, but they’re removing the titles from the application as well to reap the benefits of a content write-down.

Deadline now reports that more shows have been put on the chopping block over at Paramount+. One of the bigger names that is getting purged is the return of the sketch comedy show Inside Amy Schumer, which had returned to continue its run with a fifth season in six years.

Inside Amy Schumer returned to Paramount+ after six years for its fifth season – a season that Paramount was hoping could score an Emmy nomination to compete against the likes of SNL and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.

However, Emmy voters hoping to take a last minute watch on Paramount+ before tonight’s voting deadline will have been disappointed after it was one of the latest titles to be scrapped from the streaming service.

Paramount+ has purged a phalanx of programming today including a number of original series, original movies and Nickelodeon content.

The low-profile move comes after Paramount revealed last week that it was canceling and scrapping four series: Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, Star Trek: Prodigy, The Game and Queen of the Universe.

Inside Amy Schumer is joined by From Cradle to Stage, a docuseries directed by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl and based on his mother’s book,...
