After a long time out of the spotlight, Sarah Michelle Gellar has been making a nice return to TV in the last few years. The actress got her start on All My Children, which won her a Daytime Emmy Award. She was then launched to stardom with the title role on the modern classic show Buffy the Vampire Slayer and added movies like I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Gellar made a few more TV shows, such as Ringer and The Crazy Ones, before taking a break to concentrate on her family. However, Gellar is making a comeback, starting with 2023’s Wolf Pack, which ended after one season. She now has a recurring role on Dexter: Original Sin.

This raises questions about what really happened in the home.

The Emmy Awards ballot lists 213 episodes (from 118 series), so there will be seven nominees this year under the new rules. There were seven for the first time in the category’s history last year:

“Barry” season 2: “ronny/lily” (Alec Berg & Bill Hader) Winner — “Fleabag” season 2: “Episode 1” (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) “The Good Place” season 3 — “Janet(s)” (Josh Siegal & Dylan Morgan) “PEN15” season 1: “Anna Ishii-Peters” (Maya Erskine & Anna Konkle & Stacy Osei-Kuffour) “Russian Doll” season 1: “Nothing in This World is Easy” (Natasha Lyonne) “Russian Doll” season 1: “A Warm Body” (Allison Silverman) “Veep” season 7: “Veep” (David Mandel)

Only “The Good Place” returns to defend its slot. “Better Things,” “Ramy” and “Sex Education” are among those hoping to capitalize on the open field after being snubbed last year. “The Good Place” contends for its series finale, as do “Schitt’s Creek” and “Silicon Valley.” “Schitt’s Creek” seeks its first nomination in...

ABC has given a pilot production commitment to Thicker Than Water, a one-hour dramedy from One Mississippi co-creator/executive producer/star Tig Notaro and co-executive producer Cara Dipaolo, producer Michael McDonald (American Crime) and ABC Studios, where his Stearns Castle is based.

Written by Notaro and Dipaolo loosely inspired by personal experiences, Thicker Than Water centers on a single mother who returns to her Tennessee hometown for her estranged father’s funeral, and finds herself graveside with several strangers who happen to be her half-siblings.

Notaro and partner Stephanie Allynne executive produce via Something Fierce Productions, alongside McDonald via Stearns Castle and Dipaolo.

Notaro and McDonald both hail from Middle America — Notaro grew up in Mississippi and Texas — and had been looking to do a show together that was true to the American experience, not a reflection of the coastal elites. That also is an area ABC has been keen on exploring more of.

ABC has given a pilot production commitment to a one-hour dramedy that is co-created by Tig Notaro, Variety has learned.

Notaro and Cara Dipaolo are writers and executive producers on the project, which is currently titled “Thicker Than Water.” In the series, a single mother returns to her Tennessee hometown for her estranged father’s funeral, and finds herself graveside with several strangers who happen to be her half-siblings.

Michael McDonald of Stearns Castle will also executive produce, along with Stephanie Allynne of Notaro’s Something Fierce Productions banner. ABC Studios will produce.

Notaro and Dipaolo previously worked together on Notaro’s semi-autobiographical Amazon series “One Mississippi,” which Notaro co-created, starred in, and executive produce. Dipaolo was a writer and co-executive producer on the series.

Notaro is also a celebrated stand up comedian and is set to appear in the second season of “Star Trek: Discovery” Season 2. She also previously appeared on shows like “Transparent,...
