Head of the Class Reboot Premieres Nov. 4, Guest Stars Robin Givens; The Bear Coming to FX
HBO Max shared a first look of Robin Givens as an all-grown-up Darlene Merriman in the upcoming Max Original series Head of the Class, inspired by the 1980s ABC sitcom of the same name. The series will premiere November 4. The multi-camera family comedy, from executive producer Bill Lawrence (Ted Lasso, Scrubs, Cougar Town) alongside executive producers and showrunners Amy Pocha (Paradise PD, American Vandal) & Seth Cohen (i>Paradise PD, American Vandal), will debut on the streaming service on Thursday, November 4, 35 years after the original series, created by Rich Eustis and Michael Elias, aired. Darlene description: A member of the original Individualized Honors Program (IHP), Darlene Hayward is an ambitious lawyer with a degree from Stanford. She wants what is best for her son and is hyper focused on setting him up for success. Darlene might need a reminder of the positive impact an out-of-the-box teacher can have, but she's fighting for the good of all students at Meadows Creek High as co-head of the Parents' Association.
Head of the Class revolves around a group of overachieving high school students who meet their greatest challenge — a teacher, Alicia Gomez (Isabella Gomez – One Day at a Time), who wants them to focus less on grades and more on experiencing life. Isabella Gomez, Jorge Diaz, Jolie Hoang Rappaport, Gavin Lewis, Dior Goodjohn, Brandon Severs, Adrian Matthew Escalona, and Katie Beth Hall star. Christa Miller and Robin Givens guest star.
The Bear, a half-hour comedy about a young chef who returns to Chicago to run the family restaurant, has been picked up to series. The series from FX Productions will premiere in 2022. The Bear is executive produced by Joanna Calo (Bojack Horseman, Undone), Hiro Murai (Atlanta, Station Eleven) and Nate Matteson (Station Eleven, The Choe Show) of Super Frog, Christopher Storer (Ramy, Eighth Grade) and Josh Senior. Matty Matheson is a consulting producer. The Bear features Jeremy Allen White starring along with Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ayo Edebiri, Lionel Boyce, Abby Elliott, Liza Colón-Zayas, and Edwin Gibson and Matty Matheson in recurring roles.
