The cast of AppleTV+'s comedy show Shrinking had plenty to celebrate recently as the show scored a whopping seven Emmy nominations, with four recognizing its stellar performers. As it turns out, those celebrations were even merrier as the Emmy announcements coincided with the final days of filming for Season 3, as revealed by one of the nominees, Michael Urie (who plays Brian), via a social media post. Filming began in mid-February, and in May, a new set of cast additions were revealed, which, surprisingly, included the legendary Michael J. Fox in what will be his first role in five years. The new cast additions also include Isabella Gomez, Sherry Cola, Jeff Daniels, and more. With filming now wrapped, it won't be long before fans get to see the old and new cast in action when Shrinking returns for its third season.

Harrison Ford and Jason Segel-starrer Shrinking is probably one of the shows on a streaming platform that provides its viewers some sort of healing. The relatable yet complex characters, the hardships of life, emotional depth, and complicated relationships—the series is packed with everything, but it goes a level up with normalizing seeking professional help.

The show has been an eye-opening opportunity for the viewers who have been curious about therapy and therapists. It helps the audience look at the medical professionals in a different light, like human beings who, despite being their solution, have to go through everyday problems as well. And with season two wrapping up on an emotional note, we’re pretty much certain that the third season is going to drop a little sooner than everyone’s expectations.

In 2017, Netflix rebooted the 1975 sitcom One Day at a Time, giving it a makeover and following three generations of a Latine family. The series faced not just one but two cancelations, but fans can finally find out how the series was supposed to end.

One Day at a Time tackled many serious subjects, despite its sitcom status. Similar to ABC's Black-ish, One Day a Time put the members of the family through different scenarios, sometimes humorous, that led to opportunities for growth, educating the viewer in the process. Netflix canceled the series after three seasons, and Pop took over and revived it in 2020, but the pandemic stopped production and the network decided to cancel it, despite its 99% Rotten Tomatoes score. Per Variety, the cast will reunite to table read the remaining three episodes, including the one that served as the series finale.

This is Day 109 of the WGA strike and Day 36 of the SAG-AFTRA strike.

The WGA and SAG-AFTRA teamed up for its first bicoastal picket in Los Angeles and New York on Friday, and Latino Hollywood showed up in droves.

At Warner Bros. in Los Angeles, more than 2,000 actors, writers and supporters hit the sidewalks as temperatures hit the high-80s. Salsa and Bachata music blasted through the speakers near Gates 2 and 3 as patient strike captains including Vida star Chelsea Rendon, kept everyone moving safely. One captain was overheard saying, “You have to keep moving, but you don’t have to stop dancing!” And so they did.

Royal Rendezvous is definitely not the kind of rom-com you’ll see on every channel, as the trailer TV Insider is exclusively debuting shows. In E!‘s scripted movie, starring Isabella Gomez, Ruairi O’Connor, and Ronan Raftery and premiering on Sunday, February 26, an East L.A. chef, Cat, is invited to a manor in Ireland to cook for the royal banquet in an effort by a Lord to convince his grandmother not to sell their home. However, as is expected in films like this, budding romances threaten to derail the entire plan. The trailer offers a look at the chef’s invite to Ireland — it comes the day before the family of royals wants her to cook for them for a week after reading about her — as well as her seeing her suite once there. “I am always up for a new adventure,” Cat says. And adventures she will have!

Move over, Hallmark, E! is coming for your made-for-tv rom-com crown this winter. On Jan. 15, the cable channel announced it will be rolling out three new romantic-comedy movies featuring all of the tropes fans of the genre love (small towns! royals! accidental marriages!), but with an added dash of spice thrown in for good measure. The movies, which will begin airing on Feb. 19, are just the start of the channel's rom-com efforts. According to a press release, three more swoonworthy films will premiere later this year.

In addition to sharing details about the upcoming movies, E! also released a trailer touting the three films - and seemingly throwing a little shade at Hallmark. "We all love rom-coms where the big-city girl finds love in a small town, but are you thirsting for more?" a voiceover asks before cutting to lots of shirtless scenes and candid sex talk.

The first movie...

The Goldbergs season 10 returned from Winter break this week with a delightful, musically-enhanced episode that underscored Adam's journey to moviemaking. "Blade Runner: The Musical" opened with a bang, delivering yet another fun dance sequence that doubled as a story beat when Adam (Sean Giambrone) was told he simply wasn't cut out for performance. Naturally, his mother Beverly (Wendi McLendon-Covey) had the perfect remedy: setting her son up to direct a musical production at her school.

Of course, The Goldbergs never lets anything turn out as disastrously as it might have otherwise, but Adam still struggles to reconcile his lofty dreams with the reality that has settled before him. While all the kids have stayed closer to home than ever since the death of The Goldbergs patriarch, this week's episode highlights that Adam must spread his wings to succeed—and that Beverly is ready to support him. But where that will take him,...

Vance, said in his year-end fireside chat. He also reported that the Foundation awarded another 300,000 in higher education scholarships to 106 SAG-AFTRA members and their dependents.
