SitcomsOnline Digest: South Park Plans Second Pandemic Special; Mom Coming to an End After Eight Seasons

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're hearing about a new South Park special, a revival of Criminal Minds, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

  • South Park hasn't had a new "regular" episode since 2019, but they are going to be doing another "special" (which could be a new model for the series, as it has been successful) in March. (Hollywood Reporter)
  • It's probably not a surprise given that one of the stars of the series left the show, but Mom is coming to an end after eight seasons (TVLine)
  • Criminal Minds hasn't even been gone for a full year yet, but a revival may be coming to Paramount+, which will soon replace CBS All Access. (Deadline)
  • Here we go again with "The Simpsons predicts the future," as people are now showing the parallels between Ted Cruz and his trip to Cancun with the trip that Mayor Quimby did something very similar. ((Deadline)
  • The Golden Girls is coming to Disney+ later this year. (Deadline)
  • NBC is doing a test run of their Peacock late night talk show, The Amber Ruffin Show, in the late night lineup for two Fridays at 1:30 AM. (Variety)

WEEKLY PLANNER (FEBRUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 26)
