Apple TV+ Announces Comedy Series Prodigies; ABC Renews Unscripted Series Slate

Apple TV+ announced the new seven-episode comedy Prodigies, starring BAFTA and SAG Award winner Will Sharpe (The White Lotus, A Real Pain) and Emmy and SAG Award winner Ayo Edebiri (The Bear, After the Hunt). The series is created, written and directed by Sharpe and produced by the Emmy Award and BAFTA Award-winning SISTER. Edebiri will also serve as an executive producer on the series.

This unusual take on a classic romantic comedy explores the universal complexities of long-term relationships through the lens of a very unique couple. Didi (Edebiri) and Ren (Sharpe) are two ex-child prodigies who have been together since they were children. Now in their early 30s, they are starting to question whether their very ordinary existence is living up to the extraordinary promise of their childhood. Inevitably, they find themselves asking the same questions of their relationship. As individual hopes and needs feed into and conflict with their shared lives, the series challenges the fallacy at the heart of romantic storytelling - that the tale is over when the heroes get together. In life, surely, that is just the beginning?

Hulu's inaugural Get Real house brought the biggest names in unscripted television to Beverly Hills for a day of memorable onstage moments, major announcements and high-impact activations from Hulu, ABC and Freeform's robust unscripted TV portfolio. The ultimate crossover event gathered 150 unscripted TV icons and creatives including Alex Cooper, Khloé Kardashian, Jesse Palmer, Alfonso Ribeiro, Vanna White, and more all under one roof. ABC has renewed Dancing with the Stars, The Golden Bachelor and Who Wants to be a Millionaire in early renewals for 2025-26, while Bachelor in Paradise returns this summer.

Robert Irwin was revealed as the first celebrity competing for the Mirrorball Trophy on the upcoming season 34 of Dancing with the Stars. The Nader sisters – Brooks, Sarah Jane, Grace Ann and Mary Holland – announced their new series, Love Thy Nader, coming to Hulu and Freeform this summer. Jesse Palmer revealed the new season of Bachelor in Paradise will head to Costa Rica, with Wells Adams returning as bartender and Hannah Brown bringing the bubbly to rose ceremonies in the all-new Champagne Lounge. The Golden Bachelor unveiled a new leading man, former NFL player Mel Owens.
