It will take a divine intervention for Georgie and Mandy’s mothers to get along. That’s where Pastor Jeff comes in!

As TVLine exclusively reported in December, Young Sheldon’s Matt Hobby reprises his role as Pastor Jeff in the Thursday, Feb. 13 episode of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage (CBS, 8/7c) — an episode that also brings back Zoe Perry as Georgie’s mother (and the church’s most devoted congregant), Mary Cooper.

Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage premiered in October 2024 and has aired its first seven episodes to date before going on mid-season hiatus through the holiday break. The sitcom, which serves as a sequel to Young Sheldon and, by default, also a prequel of The Big Bang Theory, centers on the life of eldest Cooper child Georgie (Montana Jordan) and his new role as a husband and father.

Taking place immediately following the events in Young Sheldon, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage got off to a strong start, receiving positive reviews from critics and audiences, alike. While a second season renewal hasn’t yet been made official, fans can look forward to more Season 1 episodes soon.

Since its 2007 debut, The Big Bang Theory has evolved into an ever-expanding franchise. The small-screen success resulted in two prequel series, Young Sheldon and Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage. The former follows the story of quirky genius Sheldon Cooper navigating the world as a teenager, while the latter is its direct sequel that looks at Sheldon's older brother Georgie and the first (of many) marriages referenced in the original sitcom. Currently, there's also another untitled sequel spin-off in the works.

Consequently, as the stories continue to stretch beyond the first show and its cast, new characters have been added to the beloved Big Bang Theory universe, along with entirely divergent premises. Additionally, because of the franchise's timeline jumps, including the same people across shows has proven to be a challenge. As a result, despite all the characters being connected to each other in the same reality, only four of them...

Mandy McAllister has a huge secret — the sorta secret that can wreak havoc on a new marriage.

In Episode 3 of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, Mandy reveals to her husband that she’s in massive credit card debt; between American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa, she’s racked up $12,000 in unpaid bills. What’s more, the biggest charge was accrued when Mandy brought her ex-boyfriend to the emergency room for a broken wrist.

“Better Things” is coming to an end. Pamela Adlon’s award-winning series is currently filming Season 5, which FX has confirmed will be its last. The cable network picked up Season 5 in May 2020, though shooting was delayed until July 2021.

“I will forever be grateful to FX for allowing me to tell stories the way I see the world, and want the world to be seen,” Adlon said in a statement to Deadline. “Making this show has been film school for me. I bow down to my crew and my cast. And I can’t wait for people to discover and re-discover ‘Better Things.’ This is gonna be a wrap on Sam Fox (for now). See you at the after party.”

“Better Things” will come to an end with its upcoming fifth season on FX, Variety has confirmed.

Pamela Adlon created “Better Things” in addition to starring in, directing, and executive producing the series. Season 5 is currently filming, with its debut slated for 2022.

The show tells the story of Sam Fox (Adlon), a single mother and working actor with no filter, raising her three daughters, Max (Mikey Madison), Frankie (Hannah Alligood) and Duke (Olivia Edward) in Los Angeles. She also looks after her mother, Phil (Celia Imrie), an English expat with questionable faculties who lives across the street. Diedrich Bader, Alysia Reiner, and Rebecca Metz are among the show’s recurring cast.

“Better Things” has been a critical hit from the start, with the first fours seasons holding an average critical approval rating of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. It won a Peabody Award in 2016, with Adlon having been nominated for the Emmy...

"Be prepared for anything." Disney has revealed an official trailer for an extra campy comedy titled Magic Camp, debuting direct to streaming on Disney+ this weekend. This is the latest fun-for-everyone comedy from filmmaker Mark Waters, the director of Freaky Friday, Mean Girls, Just Like Heaven, The Spiderwick Chronicles, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Mr. Popper's Penguins. A group of misfit campers help a down-on-his-luck magician rediscover his love of magic in Magic Camp, a heartwarming comedy about finding joy and confidence in self-acceptance. Adam Devine stars as Andy, who attempts to reboot his love for magic (and for competition) at the camp. This also stars Gillian Jacobs, Aldis Hodge, J.J. Totah, Rochelle Aytes, Rosalind Chao, Michael Hitchcock, Rebecca Metz, and Jeffrey Tambor as the camp's owner Roy Preston. This looks as terribly cheesy and as cliche as expected, but still fun to see a movie about magic. Here's the...

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Better Things” Season 4, Episode 10, “Listen to the Roosters.”]

Ghosts are walking among us, and they’re feeling very, very good.

One ghost in particular gets a temporary spotlight in the “Better Things” Season 4 finale (now available on Hulu), as a gray-haired woman in a yellow dress (played by Ellen Geer) shares a bit of foresight with Duke (Olivia Edward), the Fox family medium. Duke regularly connects with spirits, whether it’s the recurring presence of her grandfather in Season 3 or during the otherworldly Season 2 episode, “White Rock,” so it’s not all that surprising when her new friend up and vanishes via an apparitional Irish goodbye.

But before she leaves, this ghost offers a key bit of advice. Claiming she can see the future, Duke (in a moment of prescience) first asks if there is a future (there is), before saying, “I never want to get married or have kids...

In a theater filled to the brim with Television Academy members, it was actor Diedrich Bader who made the best argument as to why creator, director, and star of FX’s “Better Things” Pamela Adlon has been so successful at crafting such a profoundly humane TV series.

“You’re doing it for all of us,” Bader said. “All of the actors who’ve been kicking around for years and making a living in this business. That’s why you’re so at ease on the set, I find, is that you are just completely comfortable with all the roles that you’ve accepted.”

The crowd gathered at Saban Media Center at the Television Academy in North Hollywood on May 10 appreciated Bader’s revelation, which came during the Emmys Fyc panel for “Better Things,” on the heels of Adlon’s own admission that it was incredible that “somebody like us” was...

It’s been 15 months since we’ve had a new episode of Better Things, but the wait is over is a couple of weeks. As fans await for the Season 3 premiere of Pamela Adlon’s comedy February 28, FX has released a first-look featurette. Check it out above.

Adlon, who’s been Emmy-nominated for Lead Actress in a Comedy for each of the show’s first two seasons, notes that the new episodes will see “other worlds that [her character Sam Fox] inhabits since she’s able to get out and let her hair down a little bit more. And then the pressures start to build again.”

We also hear from the young but “getting older” co-stars who play Sam’s vastly different daughters — Mikey Madison (Max), Hannah Alligood (Frankie) and Olivia Edward (Duke) — along with Celia Imrie, who plays their offbeat and unpredictable Brit expat grandma, Phyllis.

Of the 10 Emmy nominations “This Is Us” received last year, seven of them were for acting.

There are some Friday nights under the lights that even Coach Taylor wouldn’t be able to save.

Kevin has one of ’em in this week’s This Is Us, which chronicles two fraught nights in the Pearson sibling’s life: one where he first busts his knee, thus ending his dreams of collegiate and professional football glory, and one where he returns to his high school, literally high, and makes a chain of very poor choices.

And that’s all before the episode’s worst development comes to light.

The world of Web Series is about as diverse as it gets. From format, to genre, to production quality, they’re everywhere, and some of them take the opportunity to go for a risk.

Being un-Google-able is a risk, as is being a fairly tame show with a name like Cam Girls, but the series, which hits June 1st is surprisingly layered for something that only has 4-6 minutes to get things done.
