With 2024 in the rearview mirror, your favorite TV shows will slowly start to return for midseason and season premieres. But not every show. Cancellations are unfortunately inevitable and unavoidable, and even long-running shows must eventually come to an end. Heading into 2025, we already knew that some of the biggest shows of the last decade would be releasing their final episodes this year. And as the 2024-2025 season presses on, networks and streamers will reveal which programs they won’t be continuing. Below is the list of all the TV shows that have either been canceled, or are ending, in 2025. We’ll continue to update this list as more cancellations are announced. (See 2024’s full list of cancellations here.) ABC The Conners, seven seasons Cartoon Network Craig of the Creek, six seasons Disney Channel Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, two seasons Disney+ Andor, two seasons Fox 9-1-1: Lone Star,...

We're still not over the end of "Star Trek: Lower Decks," and to be quite honest, we might never be. Every "Star Trek" fan loves "Lower Decks." Well, at least all of us here at /Film do -- I can't speak for any of the contrarian weirdos out there who hate fun or are somehow allergic to animation. Fans have become extremely attached to the cast, and their voices now rattle around in the dark recesses of our brains. Whenever I do a rewatch of "Craig of the Creek" (another show coming to an end too soon), I feel my heart break a little whenever Noël Wells' voice as Kelsey creeps into sounding like her "Lower Decks" character, Ensign D'Vana Tendi. I'm just not ready to admit that it's really over.

Fortunately, it's not like all of these beloved performers are being launched out of an airlock and forced to...

Cartoon Network fans are starting 2025 on a sour note as several beloved animated series have been removed from Max.

Just last month, it was announced that four popular DC animated series—Teen Titans, Teen Titans Go!, Static Shock, and Green Lantern: The Animated Series—would leave the platform by the end of 2024. True to the announcement, these shows disappeared from Max’s library after December 31. But it didn’t stop there.

As of January 1, more fan-favorites have also been removed, including Ed, Edd n’ Eddy, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, The Looney Tunes Show, and the first seven seasons of Teen Titans Go! While the show’s eighth season remains on Max, fans hoping to revisit earlier episodes will have to look elsewhere, like Hulu, where some seasons are still available.

This isn’t the first time Max has upset fans by pulling Cartoon Network content. Over the past year,...

Cartoon Network fans are starting 2025 with disappointment as several beloved animated series have been removed from Max.

Let’s remember that last month, we learned that Max, the streaming home of countless DC shows and movies, is facing some unexpected changes as four fan-favorite DC animated series were set to leave its library by the start of 2025.

Namely, Teen Titans, Teen Titans Go!, Static Shock, and Green Lantern: The Animated Series are no longer available after December 31. However, it seems that those were not the only projects removed from Max’s library starting January 1.

Among the notable titles now missing are the first seven seasons of Teen Titans Go!, the original Teen Titans, Ed, Edd n’ Eddy, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, The Looney Tunes Show, Static Shock, and Green Lantern: The Animated Series.

While the eighth season of Teen Titans Go! remains available, fans hoping to...

Karen Fukuhara has had a particularly fine career, particularly in recent years. Setting aside credits in "Bullet Train" and Cartoon Network's much-beloved animated series "Craig of the Creek," Fukuhara has made a name for herself as fan-favorite Kimiko on Amazon Prime Video's violent superhero series "The Boys." Given that show's continued success, it seems more than likely we'll be seeing more from the actress in the years to come. But her start in the business wasn't actually as an actress. Rather, it was as a celebrity interviewer for the Disney Channel.

In an interview with Collider to promote "The Boys" season 4, Fukuhara dove into her past on Disney's "Movie Surfers" show. The series featured kids interviewing celebrities and highlighting upcoming movies for their audience. Fukuhara was, for a time in the early 2000s, one of the kids putting in...

David Zaslav's scythe has slashed yet another beloved part of our childhoods: Cartoon Network dot com, home of games Nightmare-athon, Outnumbuh'd, Teen Titans Battle Blitz and The Cobblepot Caper, has been bled out. Instead of being greeted by the scribbled smiles of Gumball, Jake and Steven on the homepage, site visitors are now immediately being redirected to Max.

The Cartoon Network website is no more. A week after Warner Bros. Discovery announced it was shutting down the Boomerang streaming service, the company also has pulled all content off cartoonnetwork.com, directing visitors to Max.

“Looking for episodes of your favorite Cartoon Network shows?

Cartoon Network has been scrubbed from the web.

Warner Bros. Discovery this week pulled the entire contents of cartoonnetwork.com offline — redirecting visitors to a landing page on Max, its subscription-streaming service, encouraging fans to sign up to watch their favorite Cartoon Network shows. The shuttering of the site appears to have happened Thursday, Aug. 8.

Brad Winderbaum is Marvel Studios' Head of Marvel Streaming, Television and Animation, and the latest guest on The Official Marvel Podcast. 

With this being an "official" interview, the updates shared by the executive were carefully chosen and not too revealing. However, there are some interesting tidbits on the animation side, including news on Black Panther spin-off, Eyes of Wakanda. 

"Eyes of Wakanda, more than any other show we're doing in animation, ties directly into the MCU," Winderbaum confirmed. "This is a story about Wakandan history. It's produced by Ryan Coogler and directed by Todd Harris who is one of our longtime storyboard artists who I first met when he designed the Hulk vs. Thor fight in Ragnarok."

"It's an awesome show. The action is insane and the storytelling is fantastic. It's both about the history of Wakanda, but also expands into the greater MCU at different time periods," he teased.

With its list of new releases for June 2024, HBO streamer Max is finally headed back to Westeros.

The highlight of this month is undoubtedly the premiere of House of the Dragon season 2 on June 16. Episode 1 will drop on both HBO and Max that Sunday night at 9 p.m. Et. With the infamous Targaryen civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons now underway, the next batch of episodes for this Game of Thrones prequel should be truly epic.

Arriving before House of the Dragon season 2 is another story of a fraught succession. Ren Faire, a documentary series about an ailing king retiring from the country’s largest renaissance festival, premieres on June 2. Other TV options this month include Julio Torres comedy Fantasmas on June 7 and docuseries One South: Portrait of a Psych Unit on June 25.

Max plays host to a couple of major movies in June as well. The...

Nickelodeon today revealed the official trailer and key art for the all-new original animated series The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, sharing a glimpse into the reimagined Fairy World and new city of Dimmadelphia.

Produced by Nickelodeon Animation, the 20-episode series premieres Monday, May 20 at 4:30 p.m. Et/Pt on Nickelodeon in the U.S. and will be available on Netflix internationally later this year.

In the half-hour premiere, “Fly,” 10-year-old Hazel Wells tries to run away from home, leading her to discover that her weird neighbors, Cosmo and Wanda, are really Fairy Godparents in disguise. New episodes of The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish will continue to roll out weekdays at 4:30 p.m. Et/Pt on Nickelodeon.

In The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, ten-year-old Hazel Wells has just moved to the big city of Dimmadelphia because of her dad’s new job. On top of being in an unfamiliar environment,...

Warner Bros. Discovery cutbacks likely led to Craig of the Creek's cancellation, with episodes slashed in season 5. The show's diverse representation, LGBTQ+ characters, and inclusive storytelling earned accolades and fan admiration. Despite the end of the series, Craig of the Creek lives on through a movie prequel and spinoff show, keeping its spirit alive.

The animated series debuted on Cartoon Network in February 2018, offering a refreshing take on childhood adventures, but the loved-by-adults kid series Craig of the Creek could be over. The series follows Craig Williams and his friends, Kelsey and J.P., as they explore the wilds of a local creek in a fictional suburb of Baltimore. This setting becomes a canvas for their imaginations, where tree forts and bike ramps reign supreme. As a hub of creativity and freedom, the creek symbolizes the essence of childhood exploration and the unbreakable bonds of friendship.

The show stands out...

Awards season is not over just yet.

The GLAAD Media Awards went down inside the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills on Thursday, a ceremony that saw trophies handed out to winners across film, TV, music and media. Wayne Brady hosted the star-studded event at which Oprah Winfrey took home a Vanguard Award presented by Chilli Pepper and Paola Presta, and Niecy Nash-Betts was honored with a Stephen F. Kolzak Award for LGBTQ visibility from pal Sharon Stone.

In categories announced from the stage, Showtime’s steamy political drama Fellow Travelers starring Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey from creator Ron Nyswaner took the top prize as outstanding limited or anthology series. The Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso, which introduced a gay soccer star this past season, bested the competition in the outstanding comedy series category. The Trace Lysette-starrer Monica from IFC Films was honored as outstanding film in limited release,...

The magical girl genre is one that’s near and dear to my heart. As a kid, anime like Sailor Moon immediately caught my attention with their all-girl team-ups, openness about wanting to rest after the fight and severe lack of “girls are useless” narratives. It’s no wonder so many creators take inspiration from a genre that champions love, friendship, self-care and badassery. Such is the case for Pearl Low. “Creating community through storytelling is at the heart of why I tell the types of stories that I do.” - Pearl Low, creator of Wheels & Roses Low has worked in animation for over eight years, having worked on projects such as Hair Love (Sony Pictures Animation), Craig of the Creek (Cartoon Network), #1 Happy Family USA (A24) and more. Low has since created Orange Blossom Studios , an independent studio that, according to Low, “strives to center diverse magical and cultural stories.

Nominations for the 35th Annual GLAAD Media Awards were announced on Wednesday, with more than 300 individual nominees represented across dozens of categories.

“At a time when the LGBTQ community is under attack by false narratives and misinformation … this year’s nominees powerfully reflect the realities of LGBTQ existence today, in our communities and around the globe,” GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement. “The stakes have never been higher to maintain the progress of LGBTQ visibility and representation across all media, from film, television, music, journalism, publishing and more.”

The 2nd annual Children’s & Family Emmys got underway on Saturday night, starting with the Children’s & Family Creative Arts Emmys at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. According to early results — pending final tallies — Disney+ and Netflix tied the lead with nine wins overall.

The most honored program of the evening was actually Netflix’s “Lost Ollie,” which scored five trophies. Disney+’s wins included multiple awards for “The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special” and animated series “Baymax!” Nickelodeon picked up five wins.

And it was also a good night for Disney via its linear Disney Channel, which picked up four wins.

Presenters included Tamara Almeida (“Jane”), Ceci Balagot (“Monster High: The Movie”), Eric Bauza (voice of Bugs Bunny and others), Tantoo Cardinal (“Spirit Rangers”), Nayah Damasen (“Monster High: The Movie”), Miia Harris (“Monster High: The Movie”), Sonia Manzano (“Alma’s Way”), Ava Louise Murchison (“Jane”), and...

When Guillermo del Toro accepted the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature ("Pinocchio") in 2022, he proclaimed during his speech, "Animation is cinema. Animation is not a genre. Animation is ready to be taken to the next step, we are all ready for it." Well, 2023 certainly heard him, because this year we were gifted an embarrassment of riches — all using the animated medium to push the limits of storytelling and visual artistry. At the same time, animated projects are constantly under attack by powerful millionaires in positions of power who can't or refuse to see the value in animation and instead still operate under the false assumption that it's nothing more than "kid's stuff." And even still, there was plenty of incredible animation this year specifically targeting young audiences, like the "Craig of the Creek" prequel film "Craig Before the Creek," Apple TV+'s "The Snoopy Show," and of course, the undisputed children's champion,...

Both an expansion of the hit Nickelodeon show and sequel to the 2021 movie, the animated adventure finds the eponymous group given superpowers from crystals embedded in a meteor and have to use their new abilities to put a stop to evil scientist Victoria Vance and their arch-nemesis Mayor Humdinger.

Ensign D'Vana Tendi has defied stereotypes as the first Orion Starfleet Officer, proving her competence and changing perceptions of Orions. Tendi's intelligence and optimism have helped her and her Lower Decker friends navigate strange and dangerous situations. Tendi's character in Star Trek: Lower Decks has made a significant impact, showing Orions in a different light and paving the way for future representation.

One of the popular breakout characters of Star Trek: Lower Decks is Orion Ensign D'Vana Tendi, played by comedic actress Noël Wells. Ensign Tendi serves as a Science Officer aboard the USS Cerritos, alongside her fellow Ensigns Brad Boimler (Jack Quaid), Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome), and Sam Rutherford (Eugene Cordero). Tendi's intelligence and willingness to learn have helped her and her Lower Decker friends get out of several of the wacky and dangerous situations they find themselves in. In her time aboard the Cerritos, Tendi has proven to be a competent officer,...

Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network production workers are attempting to unionize with The Animation Guild (Tag).

A petition was filed with the National Labor Relations Board today requesting a union election. The petition includes 66 staffers at Warner Bros. Animation and 22 at Cartoon Network, including roles like production manager, digital production assistant, It technician, production coordinator, production assistant, design production coordinator, assistant production manager and senior assistant production manager.

They are involved in such Warner Bros. projects as Batman: The Caped Crusader, Harley Quinn and Teen Titans Go! and Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake, We Baby Bears and Craig of the Creek.

The workers also requested voluntary recognition from management at the Warner Bros. Discovery subsidiaries.

The jokes will extend well past April 1st on HBO and HBO Max.

“Barry” returns for its fourth and final season. After the shocking Season 3 finale which saw Barry (Billy Hader) getting arrested and Cousineau (Henry Winkler) being hailed as a hero, there will be plenty of consequences for both. The dark comedy premieres on April 16 with two episodes.

“A Black Lady Sketch Show” will also bring plenty of laughs when it returns for its fourth season. The sketch comedy series premieres April 14.

On the drama side, the limited series “Love and Death” premieres on April 27. It’s based on the true story of Candy (Elizabeth Olsen) and Pat Montgomery (Patrick Fugit) and Betty (Lily Rabe) and Allan Gore (Jesse Plemons) – two churchgoing couples enjoying their small-town Texas life… until an extramarital affair leads somebody to pick up an axe.

For comic fans, the midseason premiere of the final season...

With its list of new releases for April 2023, HBO Max is premiering the final episodes of two major shows.

First up is the continuation of Titans season 4 on April 13. Returning after a four month hiatus, these next six episodes will be the last go around for HBO Max’s gritty live-action DC series. Arriving three days later on HBO proper is the fourth and final season of Barry. Bill Hader and the rest of the Barry team wrote themselves into a fascinating corner with the conclusion of season 3. And judging by the first teasers for season 4, this final batch of episodes will indeed catch up with our favorite actor/hitman in prison.

Other TV shows of note this month include the Pete Davidson-starring animated series Fired on Mars on April 20 (light ’em up) the the Elizabeth Olsen-starring true crime story Love & Death on April 27.

Bill Hader returns for one final season of Barry and the popular sketch comedy A Black Lady Sketch Show kicks off its fourth season on HBO Max in April 2023. Additional highlights of the streaming service’s April lineup include the debut of Love & Death, a limited series starring Elizabeth Olsen and Patrick Fugit; season two of Somebody Somewhere with Bridget Everett; and the return of 100 Foot Wave for a second season.

In addition, the Titans mid-season premiere arrives on April 13. HBO Max offers this description of the fourth and final season’s remaining episodes: “The Titans – with the exception of Gar – are returned to the Temple of Trigon and rush to find Sebastian and Mother Mayhem before Sebastian summons Trigon. Along the way, they come across a prophecy that may require Kory to make a huge sacrifice to save the world.

In the final season of HBO Max’s “Barry,” premiering on April 16, Barry’s arrest for the murder of Cousineau’s girlfriend leads to a shocking conclusion. Barry (Bill Hader), a hitman who stumbles into acting, explores the dark, often comedic underbelly of both LA gangsters and Hollywood. Henry Winkler stars as Cousineau, Barry’s acting teacher and the man forced to confront the reality of his former student.

Watch the “Barry” season 4 trailer:

Another crime story will come to HBO Max in April, although this one is based on a true story. “Love & Death” revolves around the murder of Betty Gore (played by Lily Rabe) in a small Texas town in 1980. Her husband Alan (Jesse Plemons) has an affair with Candy (Elizabeth Olsen), who attends their church. Suddenly, the thrills turn deadly. Candy picks up an ax, whacks her rival over 40 times, and then claims self-defense. The new...

The new titles coming to HBO Max in April 2023 include streaming debuts of 2022 movies and highly anticipated premieres of the final chapters of beloved TV shows. March 2023 was a big month for HBO Max, as it featured The Last Of Us’ season 1 finale, Succession’s season 4 premiere, and Perry Mason’s season 2 debut. The streaming service also added the Oscar-winning documentary All the Beauty and the Bloodshed to its library, with more 2023 Oscar nominees like Elvis and The Banshees of Inisherin still available to watch on HBO Max in April.

Joining HBO Max’s catalog in April 2023 is the long-awaited premiere of the Elizabeth Olsen-starring limited series Love & Death on April 27. Before then, the mid-season premiere of the fourth and final season of HBO Max's Titans hits the streaming service on April 13. HBO Max’s April 2023 additions also include the TV show premieres of A Black Lady Sketch Show...

When The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder debuted last year on Disney+, it called back to the bygone era of Black TV sitcoms in which its 2001 Disney Channel predecessor shined. One where Black families, culture and people were not only celebrated on the small screens in living rooms across the country, but the central focal point of multiple simultaneously airing (though mostly live-action) series.

Its return on Feb. 3, however, pointed to a stunning reality. While the original series aired in the 2000s alongside a handful of animated kids shows also featuring Black leads, including Filmore!, Static Shock, Tutenstein and Little Bill, there has since been only a handful of animated shows aimed at non-adult audiences that explicitly center Black leads and, more specifically, their families.

As Black History Month runs throughout February, television will celebrate Black voices, icons and stories across entertainment, politics, sports and more.

Throughout February, audiences will be able to keep up with Hulu’s year-long initiative in spotlighting Black stories and storytellers on the platform’s “Black Stories Always” hub. In addition to new series and season premieres, from “Wu-Tang: An American Saga” to “The 1619 Project,” the platform will continue to stream new episodes of “Abbott Elementary” and “Grown-ish,” and feature classic titles from Black storytellers including “Living Single” and “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”

BET will honor Black History Month with a programming schedule that features new unscripted series, including “Black Icons — Past, Present, Future” and “America In Black” as well as the 54th NAACP Image Awards telecast on Feb. 25.

Read a full list of programming to look out for this Black History Month below. (More titles will be added throughout the month.

Hollywood keeps pushing the envelope with Black representation, but breaking boundaries is ongoing work. Many of the most successful pieces of media centering Black stories are based in violence, grief, and trauma, either historical or imagined. As essential as these stories are to understanding centuries of oppression, part of unlearning racial bias is recognizing that everyone experiences joy, sorrow, love, disappointment, and everything in between — that we relate more than imaginable to people we perceive as different.

As crucial as it is to learn the world’s (and the United States especially) history of horrific discrimination, it’s also important for audiences to witness stories of Black triumph, survival, and just plain silliness. It’s also critical for the creative voices behind these works, because larger audiences for a movie or series show studios and distributors that there’s a demand for Black stories and talent. Supporting Black-led projects is...

It feels just like last month we were complimenting Hulu on its true crime offerings. Well, with its list of new releases for February 2023, Hulu is staying in the true crime lane. Suppose that’ll happen when you push back the release date of a series or two.

February sees the arrival of three notable true crime series on Hulu. Taiwan Crime Stories premieres on Feb. 1 and presents four true tales from Taiwan’s criminal “dark underbelly.” That will be followed by ABC News Studios’ Killing County on Feb. 3. That three-episode series ponders the question “what happens when police kill?” The most interesting true crime offering premieres on Feb. 9. That’s when Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawrence College shares its four-episode saga of Larry Ray and the young college students he victimized.

As far as non true crime offerings go, the third and final season of Hulu...

Fox has released a first look at the upcoming special, “TMZ Investigates: Lisa Marie Presley: Unending Tragedy,” which premieres Jan. 30 at 8 p.m. Pt on the network.

The all-new special will look into the death of Lisa Marie Presley, the musician and only child of Elvis Presley, who died on Jan. 12 at the age of 54, promising “never-before-heard details.” The special will also delve into Presley’s personal life, including her marriage to Michael Jackson.

“TMZ Investigates: Lisa Marie Presley: Unending Tragedy” is executive-produced by Harvey Levin, Don Nash, Charles Latibeaudiere, Ryan Regan and Jess Fusco with co-executive producer Susan Favre. Viewers can watch with On Demand, Fox Now, Hulu and Fox Entertainment’s streaming platform, Tubi.

February can be a weird month. It’s too late to wish anyone “Happy New Year,” late enough to abandon resolutions, and too early to leave the house if you want to avoid getting caught in nasty weather (even in Los Angeles).

This month also marks the third and final season of Hulu’s widely acclaimed “Wu-Tang: An American Saga,” which charts the rise of the Wu-Tang clan over time. Season 3 catches up with the Wu-Tang members after their first album, facing divergent paths in the years that follow. As with any group navigating the challenging lure of fame and money, it’s a treacherous road — but an indelible journey. “Wu-Tang: An American Saga” Season 3 premieres February 15 on Hulu.

With the Christmas season rolling around and the future of Cartoon Network uncertain, now might be the last time to revisit the esteemed animation channel during the Christmas holiday season. No doubt, specials for shows like Craig of the Creek and Teen Titans Go! will be shown along the likes of Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer.

While Cartoon Network might be coming to a close in 2023, the programming it put out will live on through streaming and DVD releases. The best of the holiday programming according to Redditors might not ever grace broadcast television again, but these are the specials that will, regardless, live on for years to come.

2022 has been a devastating year for the world of animation. The Oscars kicked things off by relegating animated feature films to nothing more than children's fodder, Netflix is slowly disintegrating its entire animation department, an animated voice-over legend left this mortal plane far too soon, some of the best animated films of the year were unceremoniously dropped on streaming instead of being given the opportunity to shine in theaters, and HBO Max has absolutely obliterated its animation catalog, recreating the very problem that Cartoon Network was created to solve. Animators are continuing to fight for fair wages and better work environments while the industry as a whole continues to treat the medium with the same modicum of respect given to a wet newspaper.

During the HBO Max Animation Purge of 2022, which saw beloved titles like "Infinity Train," "Ok K.O.! – Let's Be Heroes," and "Close Enough" wiped from the platform,...

Since a certain show about houses and dragons just wrapped, HBO Max has a big scheduling hole fill next month. How will they go about it? Let’s find out with the streamer’s list of new releases for November 2022!

Obviously, there is no replacing House of the Dragon‘s cultural impact so HBO is looking for some singles in November, rather than the homerun. Things get started on in promising fashion on Nov. 3. That date sees the premiere of Titans season 4 and the interesting true crime documentary Low Country: The Murdaugh Dynasty. The former will continue the adventures of DC’s heralded Titans team (and introduce some new heavy hitters) while the latter will try to keep pace with Netflix’s prolific true crime output.

November is also when HBO Max gets a head start on the holiday season. A Christmas Story sequel, aptly titled A Christmas Story Christmas,...

As the holiday season begins, HBO Max is adding several Christmas-themed film premieres and the returns of hit TV shows in November 2022. HBO Max’s new additions in October 2022 were huge for the streaming service, primarily with House of the Dragon’s season 1 finale on October 23. For HBO Max’s TV series debuts, the month saw the premieres of The White Lotus season 2 and Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler season 3. The end of October also saw the exciting HBO Max streaming premiere of the 2022 horror movie Barbarian.

HBO Max’s November 2022 additions kick off with the streaming debut of See How They Run (November 1), the Sam Rockwell-starring mystery movie that premiered theatrically in September. Also arriving are the holiday-themed exclusive HBO Max movies A Christmas Story Christmas (November 17), a follow-up to the 1983 classic; Holiday Harmony (November 24), following a singer-songwriter helping a group of misfit kids prepare for a...

Season two of The Sex Lives of College Girls will premiere on November 17th and season three of We’re Here with Bob the Drag Queen and Shangela debuts on November 25th.

There were plenty of justifiable skeptics when it was announced the "Rocky" franchise was going to continue with "Creed," but heading into its third film, the initial naysayers have all been humbled. The story of Adonis "Donnie" Creed (Michael B. Jordan), the so-called illegitimate son of the late and former world champion Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), is as deeply complicated and moving as the original series starring Sylvester Stallone, but thrives beyond sports movie tropes and motivational montages. The "Creed" series performs a powerful dance, one that intertwines the beloved legacy of a film series with a wholly unique story, as well as one that weaves the violence of sport and street survival as equally important. As with any good "Rocky" film, the "Creed" series also introduced a powerful successor to Adrian Balboa (Talia Shire), with the talented musician Bianca Taylor (Tessa Thompson) becoming someone worth fighting for.

Bianca lives with progressive hearing loss,...

Two key marketing executives in the kids, young adults and classics division of Warner Bros. Discovery are the latest to depart the recently merged company, Marketing Chief Tricia Melton and Senior VP at Cartoon Network and Adult Swim Jill King, according to multiple reports. They’ll be gone by the end of the year.

“We are grateful for Tricia and Jill’s contributions to the legacy Kyac businesses and their leadership across these teams,” U.S. networks marketing chief Karen Bronzo wrote in a memo to staffers on Tuesday, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “Both Tricia and Jill will be here through the rest of the year, working with me as we realign the teams through this transitional period. I plan to announce the new marketing leadership structure for these networks prior to their departures.”

Tricia Melton, Chief Marketing Officer of Warner Bros. Discovery Global Kids, Young Adults and Classics, and company veteran Jill King, SVP, Marketing and Partnerships, Cartoon Network and Adult Swim, will be leaving at the end of the year; the latest senior executives to depart Warner Bros. Discovery following the completion of the Discovery-WarnerMedia merger. News of the duo’s exit comes during a week that brought upon a new round of layoffs across Wbd.

Discovery’s Karen Bronzo, who took over a combined post-merger media operation as Chief Marketing Officer, U.S. Networks, is expected to announce a new marketing leadership structure for the affected networks by end of year.

Melton was tapped for the Warner Bros. role in 2020 by then-President of Global Kids, Young Adults and Classics Tom Ascheim, whom she followed there from Freeform. Ascheim exited in May.

During her tenure, Melton spearheaded the rebrand of...

Warner Bros. Discovery Global Kids, Young Adults and Classics chief marketing officer Tricia Melton is departing the company, along with Cartoon Network and Adult Swim senior VP of marketing and partnerships Jill King. Their exits rep the latest high-profile departures at the conglom as it continues to cut costs and downsize following the April acquisition of Warner Bros. by Discovery.

Melton’s and King’s exits come just days after Warner Bros. TV Group’s animation division was hit hard by cuts — including the merger of development and main production teams for Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios. Both shingles remain, but with a smaller, merged headcount.

Tuesday’s Warner Bros. TV Group cuts impacted 82 staffers; in August, Wbd eliminated 70 jobs at HBO/HBO Max, and in September, 100 employees were let go as part of the downsizing of the company’s ad sales departments. The company is in the...

Vanderpump Rules alum Jax Taylor found himself the butt of the joke after his wife Brittany Cartwright referred to him as her second child.

The joke came as Brittany made her way to New York for New York Fashion Week. And given her recent weight loss transformation, it’s no surprise Brittany is rocking her way to Fashion Week.

After joining the Jenny Craig weight loss program, Brittany has consistently and happily shown off her progress and growing confidence.

As recently reported by Monsters and Critics, Brittany revealed she’s now lost over 40 pounds since welcoming her son Cruz in April 2021 and joining the weight loss giant.

However, as exciting as her most recent adventure is bound to be, when she posted a picture from her day of travel from California to New York,...

Vanderpump Rules alum Brittany Cartwright is making more moves in the weight loss community and recently shared a look at her most recent commercial appearance.

As previously reported by Monsters and Critics, Brittany became a spokesperson for weight loss giant Jenny Craig after healing from the birth of her son, Cruz, in April 2021.

Throughout her pregnancy, Brittany was trolled heavily online for gaining more weight than her co-stars and friends. Brittany was one of four Pump Rules cast members to fall pregnant within mere months of one another.

Stassi Schroeder welcomed her daughter in January, followed by the birth of Lala’s daughter in March, and finally, Brittany and Scheana Shay both welcomed their babies in April.

Unlike her co-stars, including Lala Kent, Brittany experienced more weight gain which left her feeling vulnerable. While she did her best to maintain her confidence,...

Justice League and Dceu director Zack Snyder will appear as himself in an upcoming episode of Cartoon Network’s popular series Teen Titans Go!. The news was revealed Saturday at San Diego Comic-Con during Cartoon Network’s presentation.

Snyder will appear in the series’ 365th episode titled, “365!” premiering this fall. Rap trio De La Soul also returns for another guest appearance during the series’ upcoming eighth season. The band previously appeared as themselves in a season six episode titled, “Don’t Press Play,” that parodied their real-life music rights battle.

Teen Titans Go!‘s next chapter finds the teen heroes looking to make a big deal out of their 365th episode so they head to the Warner Bros. Studio lot to find a director. Sounds like a perfect spot for Snyder.

Additionally, it was announced that Grammy-winning hip hop artist Missy Elliott will guest star on the network’s Craig of the Creek.
