The seventh and final season of “Workin’ Moms,” created by and starring Catherine Reitman, first aired on April 26th, 2023. With much glorification from viewers, many consider it the best season yet, even compared to the sixth season. (I’m right there with them).

The series follows four moms, Kate (Reitman) and Anne (Dani Kind), married to Ryan Belleville, Frankie (Juno Rinaldi), and Valerie (Sarah McVie). In this series, they realize that their lives will move forward despite their challenges with their children.

The Pitch: In this oft-forgotten 2004 Disney Channel Original Movie, "Saturday Night Live" alum Taran Killam plays Jordan Cahill, a heartthrob pop star who captures the hearts of teenaged girls around the nation. With his chunky blond highlights, colorful pleather jackets, and camera-ready pout, Jordan is the quintessential early-aughts celebrity. "Take a chance, take a risk, hope is where the magic is," he sings on his latest dreamy hit, and it's a message that suburban teen soccer player Brittany (Danielle Panabaker) and her chic new classmate Natasha (Brenda Song) hear through their TV sets and take to heart.

Brittany and Natasha do get to take their chance when Jordan comes...

Catherine Reitman wanted to share stories of women trying — and often failing — to have it all. Fast forward seven seasons, 83 episodes and dozens of awards nominations (including two International Emmy nods), and she’s ready to put that baby to bed.

“Workin’ Moms” was born following the creator, showrunner, star and sometimes director’s own first Mother’s Day, which she missed while shooting an indie movie. Along with her husband Philip Sternberg (who plays her on-screen husband Nathan on the series), they created the production banner Wolf + Rabbit and sold what was initially going to be a premium cable project to FX.

Reitman had spent a lot of time growing up in Canada with her family (her father was late Canadian filmmaker Ivan Reitman), so when FX passed, she looked north and sold the series to CBC.

“Honest to God, I was so hopeful that I would get to Season 2,” Reitman recalls to Variety.

Netflix’s 2022 “Netflix & Chills” lineup will include a documentary series on Jeffrey Dahmer, Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, and a thriller based on true events and starring Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne. The Halloween-inspired September and October slate also includes a feature film based on a Stephen King story as well as Wendell & Wild, a new animated film written by Henry Selick and Jordan Peele.

Marlon Wayans and Kelly Rowland serve up more family-friendly frights in The Curse of Bridge Hollow, while Charlize Theron and Kerry Washington lead the star-studded cast of the fantasy film, The School for Good and Evil. The 2022 “Netflix & Chills” schedule also offers a few kids series, a couple of action thrillers, and the return of Unsolved Mysteries.

If you’ve been watching NBC’s new hospital drama The Night Shift, we’ve heard mention of Rick, the Bf of semi-closeted Drew (Brendan Fehr). In this week’s episode we finally get to meet him, and it’s not under the best circumstances.

In the episode, Rick is brought into the hospital for more of a medical than personal reason and Drew is immediately not comfortable having his personal life crash up against his professional life, where he’s tried very hard to keep the fact that he’s gay close to the vest.

Luke Macfarlane plays Rick and the Brothers & Sisters alum talked to TheBacklot about the role, how gay couples in the military handle their relationship, working with Fehr as well as what else he’s been up to. Let’s check in with one of our favorite out actors.

TheBacklot: Where are Rick and Drew in terms of their relationship?...

It's rare to see a movie's tone conveyed so instantly as it is in Finn on the Fly. Not seconds after inserting the Finn into the DVD player, Baha Men's “Who Let the Dogs Out?” rang throughout my apartment like a Winterfest dance from 2001. I had to turn it down immediately. I don't need neighbors passing judgment on me, thinking I'm listening to the Baha Men's most overplayed and irritating song, or perhaps watching...well, any number of the movies that song is used in, save for The Hangover. And it was only funny in that movie because it's a goofy song. Anyway, I'd love to ask the filmmaker why he included that song. What is your defense, Mark Jean, for using that dreadfully overplayed and agonizing song in your movie? Is it because the word “dogs” is in the chorus? From what I've read, a lot of...

E1 Entertainment, the Canadian distributor of Finn on the Fly, sold the broadcasting rights to Disney Channel through a series of deal. This means that Mark Jean's film - which targets an audience from eight to twelve years old - will be aired on Disney Channel in the USA, the UK, Spain, Portugal, Japan and other Asian countries.

The story of Finn on the Fly follows Frisbee-playing dog named Finn and his shy 13 year-old owner Ben (Matthew Knight). Both of their lives are changed when Finn is accidentally transformed into a human being (Ryan Belleville) when their neighbor Dr. Madeline Madsen's (Ana Gasteyer) science experiment goes wrong next door. While on two legs, Finn teaches Ben how to find his own pack, feel the wind in his fur and catch Frisbees like a dog. While helping Ben, Finn also helps the misfit kids on Ben's losing ultimate Frisbee team...

Up-and-comer Dave Annable and Maggie Lawson have been tapped as the leads in Fox's midseason comedy pilot Spellbound. Spellbound, from Warner Bros. TV, centers on a modern-day male witch (Annable) who falls in love with a mortal woman (Lawson). The project from Rob Greenberg and Suzanne Martin was first developed as a pilot for NBC last year with Richard Ruccolo and Andrea Anders playing the leads. Annable, onscreen in the feature Little Black Book, is repped by the Gersh Agency and manager Sue Leibman. Lawson, who starred on ABC's comedy It's All Relative last season, was most recently seen in ABC Family's original movie Love Rules this summer. She is repped by Ro Diamond and Steven Jang at SDB Partners and Ellen Meyer Management. In other Fox casting news, Maz Jobrani and Ryan Belleville, who guest starred in the pilot for Related by Family, have been upped to regulars on the comedy series slated for a January launch.
