Netflix Casts Scooby-Doo Live-Action Series; Darren Star's Next Comedy Series Uncorked
Netflix has officially cast the Scooby gang for the Untitled Scooby-Doo live-action series, which will uncover how this mystery-solving crew, and their beloved dog, first teamed up to crack the haunting case that started it all. Mckenna Grace (The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, Regretting You) will play "Daphne Blake." Tanner Hagen (The Pitt, Dark Light) will play "Shaggy Rogers." Abby Ryder Fortson (Are You There God? It's Me Margaret, Carousel) will play "Velma Dinkley." Maxwell Jenkins (Lost in Space, The Bondsman) will play "Fred Jones."
A modern reimagining of the iconic mystery-solving group of teens and their very special dog. During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder. Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma, and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy, they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets.
Darren Star has introduced us to Carrie Bradshaw and her cosmo and Emily Cooper and her Champère. But his next creation may be his booziest yet. Uncorked delves into the life of a talented but self-destructive winemaker who returns to Napa for her second chance at love, legacy and that elusive 100 point wine. (Not that she's constantly refreshing winespectator.com or anything.) This is a woman whose greatest passion is also her fatal flaw - a failing that, usually begins before lunch on Tuesday.
Star will executive produce Uncorked along with David Schulner (New Amsterdam), Tony Hernandez (Emily In Paris, Free Bert) and Lilly Burns (Emily In Paris, Free Bert) under their banner Counterpart, while also continuing to helm Emily in Paris. Emily was recently renewed for Season 6 after Season 5 spent five weeks on Netflix's Global Top 10 list. Star and Schulner are also co-showrunners and writers.

Beef Returns April 16 on Netflix; Remembering Jennifer Runyon of Charles in Charge
Every couple meets their match. Beef returns with a new cast and a new "beef," as a Gen-Z couple witnesses an alarming fight between their Millennial boss and his wife. Starring Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Cailee Spaeny, Charles Melton and guest starring Youn Yuh-jung and Song Kang-ho. Beef Season 2 premieres April 16, only on Netflix with 8 episodes.
In the comedy, newly-engaged Ashley Miller (Cailee Spaeny) and Austin Davis (Charles Melton), both lower-level staff at a country club, become entangled in the unraveling marriage of their General Manager, Joshua Martín (Oscar Isaac), and his wife, Lindsay Crane-Martín (Carey Mulligan). Through favors and coercion, both couples vie for the approval of the elitist club's billionaire owner, Chairwoman Park (Youn Yuh-jung), who struggles to manage her own scandal involving her second husband, Doctor Kim (Song Kang-ho).
Actress Jennifer Runyon, who starred as Gwendolyn Pierce in Charles in Charge, has died. She died of cancer on March 6. Ms. Runyon was 65.
Runyon starred as Gwendolyn Pierce in the first season (1984-1985) of the CBS sitcom Charles in Charge. The first season stars Scott Baio as Charles, a 19-year-old college student working as a live-in "nanny" for the Pembroke family in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Charles has a crush on fellow Copeland student Gwendolyn Pierce and spends quite a bit of his free time trying to court her, which never seems to work. The cast of the first season included Julie Cobb, James Widdoes, April Lerman, Jonathan Ward, Michael Pearlman, and Willie Aames.
Charles in Charge moved to first-run syndication in 1987. She returned in the second season in the episodes "Twice Upon a Time: Part 1" and "Twice Upon a Time: Part 2".
Some of her sitcom guest appearances included Who's the Boss?, Dear John, The Hogan Family, and Vinnie & Bobby.
She had a supporting role as Sally Frame in the NBC soap opera Another World from 1981 to 1983. She appeared as Marcia Grant in three episodes of the 1985 NBC miniseries Space. Some of other television guest appearances included Boone, The Fall Guy, The Master, Magnum, P.I. (1987), The Highwayman, Quantum Leap (2 episodes in 1989), Booker, Murder, She Wrote (2 episodes), and Beverly Hills, 90210.
Runyon portrayed Cindy Brady in the 1988 CBS made-for-television Christmas comedy-drama film A Very Brady Christmas. Susan Olsen, the original Cindy Brady, was not in this production due to a combination of salary negotiations and timing conflicting with her honeymoon. It was the second highest-rated television film of 1988.
She had a small part as a student being given an ESP test by Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) in Ghostbusters (1984). Some of her other film credits included To All a Goodnight (1980), Up the Creek (1984), The In Crowd (1988), 18 Again! (1988), and Carnosaur (1993).
Ms. Runyon was a talented and lovely actress. She was funny and memorable as Gwendolyn Pierce in Charles in Charge and as Fake/Christmas Cindy in A Very Brady Christmas. We thank her for her work on television and in films. She will be deeply missed.
We also remember actor Corey Parker. He starred in Flying Blind and Love Boat: The Next Wave. He had a recurring role as Josh in Will & Gace. He died from cancer in Memphis, Tennessee, on March 5. Mr. Parker was 60.
Parker starred as Neil Barash in the 1992-1993 Fox sitcom Flying Blind. The series revolves around an awkward recent college grad, Neil Barash, who meets and starts dating a beautiful libertine woman, Alicia (Téa Leoni), with a wild past. It also starred Cristine Rose (1992), Robert Bauer, Clea Lewis, Marcus Giamatti, Michael Tucci, and Charles Rocket (1993).
He starred as Joel Goodman in the short-lived 1994 ABC sitcom Blue Skies. Russell Evans (Matt Roth) and Joel Goodman operate the Blue Skies Trading Company, a mail-order business in Boston. The series also starred Julia Campbell, Stephen Tobolowsky, Richard Kind, and Adilah Barnes.
Parker starred as John Morgan in 1998-1999 UPN comedy series Love Boat: The Next Wave. It was a revival of the original run of the ABC series The Love Boat from 1977–1986. Set aboard the cruise ship Sun Princess, the series starred Robert Urich as Captain Jim Kennedy, a retired and divorced U.S. Navy officer with a teen-aged son, Danny (Kyle Howard). John Morgan is the ship's doctor. The series also starred Phil Morris, Stacey Travis (season 1), Randy Vasquez, Joan Severance, and Heidi Mark (season 2).
He had a recurring role as Josh, Grace Adler's (Debra Messing) boyfriend, in five episodes of the NBC sitcom Will & Grace in 2000. He guest starred on The New Leave it to Beaver in 1985.
Parker had a recurring role as Lee Owens in six episodes of the ABC drama Thirtysomething from 1989 to 1990. Some of his other television credits included The Best Times, The Bronx Zoo, Eddie Dodd (6 episodes), Touched by an Angel, Nashville, and Sun Records.
Some of his film credits included Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning (1985), Willy/Milly (aka Something Special) (1986), Biloxi Blues (1988), Big Man on Campus (1989), How I Got into College (1989), and White Palace (1990).
Mr. Parker was a talented and versatile actor. He later became a respected on-set acting coach for major productions. We thank him for work on television and in films. He will be greatly missed.
Television writer and producer Bob Rosenfarb worked on Who's the Boss?, Head of the Class, and Step by Step. He died on March 3. Mr. Rosenfarb was 74.
Rosenfarb's sitcom writing credits included Archie Bunker's Place, All Is Forgiven, The Ellen Burstyn Show, The Golden Girls, Head of the Class (19 episodes), Free Spirit (2 episodes), Who's the Boss? (11 episodes), Step by Step (16 episodes), and 100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd.
He worked as a producer on the last two seasons of Who's the Boss? from 1990 to 1992. He was an executive producer on six seasons of Step by Step from 1992 to 1998. He worked as a consulting producer on 100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd from 2001 to 2002.
Mr. Rosenfarb wrote over 50 episodes of sitcoms during his career. We thank him for work on television. He will be sorely missed.

The Four Seasons Returns on May 28; More Details on I Suck at Girls
Netflix announced that The Four Seasons will return with its much-anticipated second season on Thursday, May 28, 2026. The news was shared alongside a set of first-look photos from the upcoming season. From co-creators Tina Fey, Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield, Season 2 of the heartfelt comedy series consists of eight all new episodes, which once again follow six friends on four different vacations over the course of a year. Returning series regulars include Tina Fey, Will Forte, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Marco Calvani, Erika Henningsen, with Colman Domingo.
In the first season, six old friends head for a relaxing weekend away only to learn that one couple in the group is about to split up. The three couples, Kate (Tina Fey) and Jack (Will Forte), Nick (Steve Carell) and Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver), and Danny (Colman Domingo) and Claude (Marco Calvani), are completely upended by the news. Over the course of a year, we follow the friends on four vacations, and watch how this shake-up affects everyone's dynamic - sending old issues and new bubbling to the surface. Co-created by Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield, The Four Seasons is a hilarious and heartfelt love letter to long marriages and old friendships. Based on the 1981 feature film of the same name.
Netflix also announced I Suck at Girls, a new comedy series based on the autobiography of the same name by New York Times bestselling author Justin Halpern. Three awkward high school sophomores stumble through the messy world of teenage romance and identity, learning that sucking at girls is just part of growing up.

From Justin Halpern (Abbott Elementary, Harley Quinn, Surviving Jack) and Patrick Schumacker (Abbott Elementary, Harley Quinn, Surviving Jack) for Delicious Non-Sequitur Productions.

COZI TV Pairs Up Al Bundy and Hondo at Last; ABC Renews Abbott Elementary for Season 6
COZI TV, NBCU Local's nationwide multicast network, will honor one of pop culture's most unexpected connections – Married... with Children and the classic John Wayne film Hondo – in a special presentation pairring the beloved sitcom and the classic western next week.
Inspired by Married... with Children character Al Bundy's obsession with Wayne, COZI TV is airing the two episodes built around Al's thwarted attempts to watch the 1953 western, followed by the film. The "Married... with Hondo" event will air Monday, March 9, and Saturday, March 14.
Hondo (1953), which stars Wayne and Geraldine Page and is based on a Louis L'âmour story, is considered one of Wayne's standout Western roles. Hondo (1953) was notable for its strong box office performance and its early use of 3-D during the format's first major wave. Page received an Academy Award nomination for her big screen debut in the film.
The two featured Married ... with Children episodes preceding Hondo (1953) will be:
Monday, March 9 at 4 p.m. ET and Saturday, March 14 at 7 p.m. ET
"All in the Family," Season 2, Episode 22 (1988): Al Bundy's plans for a peaceful weekend revolve entirely around watching Hondo, a running joke throughout the episode
Monday, March 9 at 4:30 p.m. ET and Saturday, March 14 at 7:30 p.m. ET
"Assault & Batteries," Season 8, Episode 24 (1994): Centers on Al's frantic attempt to get home in time for a rare TV airing of Hondo (1953), humorously claiming the film "only comes on once every 17 years."
COZI TV first acquired the digital broadcast rights to Married...with Children from Sony Pictures Television in 2024, becoming the first to deliver the digitally remastered HD version. Hondo is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
Just got off the phone with Barbara, you might want to give her a call 😏
ABC has renewed its flagship comedy series Abbott Elementary for a sixth season. It comes as no surprise. This is the first announcement for 2026-27 for ABC renewals. More certainly to come, as ABC is expected to bring back all of their scripted fare, with Scrubs and RJ Decker, which both just premiered, the only question marks as of now.
In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal — are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible educators may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don't love the school district's less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.
Abbott Elementary stars Emmy® Award winner Quinta Brunson as Janine Teagues, Tyler James Williams as Gregory Eddie, Janelle James as Ava Coleman, Chris Perfetti as Jacob Hill, Lisa Ann Walter as Melissa Schemmenti, William Stanford Davis as Mr. Johnson and Emmy Award winner Sheryl Lee Ralph as Barbara Howard.
