Stuart Fails to Save the Universe Renewed for Season 2; Randall Park Joins Minimum Wage

The acclaimed Max Original comedy series Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, from Warner Bros Television, has been renewed for a second season. From creators Chuck Lorre, Zak Penn, and Bill Prady, the first season is HBO Max’s second-biggest comedy launch ever globally.

Comic book store owner Stuart Bloom is tasked with restoring reality after he breaks a device built by Sheldon and Leonard, accidentally bringing about a multiverse Armageddon. Stuart is aided in this quest by his girlfriend Denise, geologist friend Bert, and quantum physicist/all-around pain in the ass Barry Kripke. Along the way, they meet alternate-universe versions of characters we’ve come to know and love from The Big Bang Theory. As the title implies, things don’t go well.

The series stars Kevin Sussman (Stuart), Lauren Lapkus (Denise), Brian Posehn (Bert), and John Ross Bowie (Kripke).

Minimum Wage - Randall Park

The first 14 episodes of Minimum Wage will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2026. The new series is from American High, founded by Jeremy Garelick (The Break-Up, The Wedding Ringer, The Hangover, Murder Mystery 2, Pizza Movie, Rolling Loud) and based on the breakout American High Shorts series of the same name, which has drawn over 40 million views across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram since launching in May 2024. Randall Park will be joining the previously announced cast as Mr. Sylvester - the eccentric boss of the pizza shop.

In the short comedy series, an ensemble workplace series set inside a chaotic local pizza shop, Minimum Wage follows a group of teenage employees battling power-tripping managers, an unhinged rush, and the slow grind of service-industry burnout. The stakes are low. The pressure is immense. The series carries the rapid-fire, short-form rhythm of the original American High Shorts digital content. 28 episodes have been ordered of the 12.5 minute per episode series. 14 episodes will premiere this year.

The series stars Aidan Micho, Grace Reiter, Hyde Healy, Julia Dicesare, Luke Burke, Ryan Micho, Tommy Armstrong and Randall Park.

Hulu's Trailer for Chad Powers Season 2; Freeform's Coven Academy Premieres October 1

Hulu has debuted the official trailer and key art for season two of comedy series Chad Powers. All six episodes stream Thursday, September 3 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers.

Chad Powers is a superstar on the field but his odd behavior off it has everyone suspicious – especially Coach Hudson and Gerry. The walls are closing in on Russ’s lie, and if he and Danny want Chad to survive the regular season and lead the Catfish to the College Football Playoff, the only person who can help them is the last person who wants to: Ricky.

The series stars Glen Powell as Russ Holliday/Chad Powers, Perry Mattfeld as Ricky, Quentin Plair as Coach Byrd, Wynn Everett as Tricia Yeager, Frankie A. Rodriguez as Danny and Steve Zahn as Coach Jake Hudson.

Coven Academy

The official teaser trailer for new supernatural series Coven Academy was released, introducing a first look at the original teen drama from Executive Producer Tim Federle. Told in a bingeable new format, the story unfolds through a series of fast-paced chapters designed to pull audiences deeper into the magic at every turn. Coven Academy premieres October 1 on Freeform at 8 p.m. EDT/PDT. The full season will be available the next day on Disney+, Hulu and Freeform on Demand.

In the haunted heart of New Orleans, Coven Academy follows three teenage witches and their dangerously charming warlock peers at an elite magic boarding school where power is currency, secrets are lethal and attraction is a liability. Caught between ancient supernatural wars and forbidden love interests, the coven must decide how far they’re willing to go to protect their city—and themselves.

Coven Academy stars Malina Pauli Weissman (A Series of Unfortunate Events) as Briar, a fiercely independent New Yorker who discovers she's a witch; Malachi Barton (Camp Rock 3, Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires) as Jake, a magnetic warlock with a dangerous edge; Jordan Leftwich (The Family Switch) as Sasha, a deeply empathic student who can read minds; Ora Duplass (Their Town) as Tegan, an irreverent time-bending witch; Louis Thresher (Boarders) as Ollie, a hungry, newly turned vampire; and Tiffani Thiessen (White Collar, 90210) as Miss Graves, the formidable and glamorous head of the school. The series also features special guest star Devon Sawa (Chucky, Final Destination) as Mr. Cole, a brilliant and charismatic warlock professor. The recurring cast includes Swayam Bhatia as McKenna, Brendon Tremblay as Alexander, Keegan Connor Tracy as Tamora, BJ Harrison as Agnes and Nathaniel Logan McIntyre as Teese.

Trailer for Season 2 of FXX's Adults; Trailer for Season 2 of Peacock's The Paper

Tell your friend group, and also your other secret friend group: Season 2 of FX's Adults premieres August 27 on FXX | Hulu on Disney+ and the trailer is out!

FX's Adults is an ensemble comedy series about a group of twenty-somethings in New York trying to be good people, despite being neither "good" nor "people" yet. Samir, Billie, Paul Baker, Issa and Anton share their meals, anxieties and, occasionally, toothbrushes. Over the eight-episode season, the housemates tackle capital-R Responsibility to varying degrees of success.

Adults follows a group of twenty-somethings in New York trying to be good people, despite being neither "good" nor "people" yet. "Samir" (Malik Elassal), "Billie" (Lucy Freyer), "Paul Baker" (Jack Innanen), "Issa" (Amita Rao) and "Anton" (Owen Thiele) are five friends crashing together in Samir's childhood home, where they share their meals, anxieties and, occasionally, toothbrushes. The series puts a slightly heightened twist on the wins, losses and humiliations of starting out in the adult world. Whether they're trying to get ahead at work, navigating the healthcare system, hosting a dinner party or dating in the age of Find My Friends, the group is finding that nothing about the real world is simple, and all their best intentions tend to make things worse.

The Paper

Peacock has debuted the season two trailer and key art for the comedy series The Paper. All episodes will premiere September 9 on Peacock. The news will be broken... in many ways.

The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch in the Emmy Award-winning series "The Office" find a new subject when they discover a historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it. In season two, after sweeping the Ohio Journalism Awards, Ned searches for a journalistic crusade, coming for a local private club and jeopardizing the paper, while he and Mare try to figure out their attraction, Esmeralda struggles to find her place, and the staff gradually mature as reporters.

Starring Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Tim Key, Ramona Young, Eric Rahill, Duane Shepard Sr., Alex Edelman, and Oscar Nuñez. Guest Stars: Jon Lovitz, Andy Richter, Lisa Gilroy, Matt Braunger, Toks Olagundoye, and Phil Hendrie.

Brandy to Sing Theme Song for A Different World; Damon Wayans Reuniting with David Alan Grier on St. Denis Medical

Netflix announced that Grammy Award winner, Brandy Norwood, is bringing her voice to the theme song for A Different World, releasing September 24th, only on Netflix.

A Different World returns to Hillman College with a new class stepping onto campus - and beloved faces coming home. At the center is Deborah Wayne (Maleah Joi Moon), Whitley and Dwayne's lovingly sheltered youngest daughter, a free spirit with a flair for the spotlight and a big heart who's still figuring out her own path at Hillman.

Along the way, she's joined by a new generation that reflects the breadth of Black life on campus: Rashida Duvall (Alijah Kai), a first gen criminal justice major; Shaquille Johnson (Cornell Young IV), a five star athlete choosing legacy; Amir Rodale (Jordan Aaron Hall), a sharp psych major better at fixing everyone else's problems than facing his own; Hazel Henry (Kennedi Reece), a church raised small town girl defining her own values; and Kojo Achebe (Chibuikem Uche), a Ghanaian Nigerian fashion entrepreneur finding the courage to follow his vision. Legacy favorites also return, including Whitley Gilbert (Jasmine Guy), Dwayne Wayne (Kadeem Hardison), Freddie Brooks (Cree Summer), and Ron Johnson (Darryl M. Bell).

Set against the rituals, humor, and nuances of an HBCU, A Different World is a hopeful dramedy, full of heart and unapologetically centered on the richness and complexity of the Black experience.

Damon Wayans - St. Denis Medical

Damon Wayans (My Wife and Kids, Lethal Weapon) reunites with In Living Color castmate David Alan Grier on the season three premiere of NBC's St. Denis Medical. Wayans will guest star in the role of Dr. Highland, a charming but pompous new doctor at St. Denis. He is filling in while Ron (David Alan Grier) is recovering from surgery. All the patients and staff (besides Alex) have fallen head over heels for him and his insights.

St. Denis Medical is a mockumentary about an underfunded, understaffed Oregon hospital where the dedicated doctors and nurses try their best to treat patients while maintaining their own sanity. In season three, romantic entanglements and personal struggles complicate relationships in the Emergency Department, pushing some St. Denis employees to the brink.

The series will return for season three on Monday, November 2 at 8 p.m. on NBC. Season one and two are available to stream on Peacock.

The Varnell Hill Show Coming to Paramount+ on September 1; Hallmark's 3rd Installment of Holiday Touchdown

Paramount+ unveiled first look photos and announced the premiere date for The Varnell Hill Show, a new half-hour workplace comedy executive produced by Martin Lawrence and Bentley Kyle Evans, and starring and executive produced by Tommy Davidson as the unforgettable talk show host first introduced in the iconic sitcom Martin. The eight-episode first season will make its global debut on Paramount+ with two episodes on Tuesday, September 1, followed by one new episode every Tuesday through October 13.

Nearly three decades after audiences first met him, Varnell Hill is stepping back into the spotlight - and he's determined to prove he's still the star of the show. Set behind the scenes of a long-running late-night talk show, The Varnell Hill Show follows Varnell (Davidson) as he fights to stay relevant in a rapidly changing entertainment landscape. Between network executives eager to modernize the show, a chaotic writers' room, celebrity guests, family drama, and his own outsized ego, Varnell quickly discovers that keeping a television empire together may be harder than building one in the first place.

Davidson leads an ensemble cast that includes Kym Whitley, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Nick Cafero, Emmanuel Hudson and Chris Williams, alongside a lineup of guest stars including Ms. Pat, Deon Cole, Damon Wayans, Mike Epps, Omarion and many more with special appearances by Lawrence.

Bolstering the roster, the film will also feature cameo appearances from Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson, tight end Colston Loveland, tight end Cole Kmet, legendary Bears alumni Mike Singletary, Charles "Peanut" Tillman and Dan Hampton, Connie Payton, wife of the late legendary running back Walter Payton, and the team's beloved mascot Staley Da Bear bringing a little extra football spirit to the holiday romance. Additional cameos include beloved Hallmark favorites Tamera Mowry-Housley (Haunted Harmony Mysteries) and Marilu Henner (Aurora Teagarden Mysteries), and talented Chicago-area locals Jake Connelly (Stranger Things) and Dyon "Mojo" Brooks (Miss Governor).

Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story premieres Saturday, October 17 on Hallmark Channel, streaming next day on Hallmark Plus.

Colin from Accounts Final Season Premieres September 10; The X-Files: I Want to Believe Gets Director's Cut on Disney+ & Hulu

Paramount+ announced the third and final season of its critically acclaimed original series Colin from Accounts, a romantic comedy about flawed, funny people choosing each other and embracing the all-too-relatable chaos of modern life, will premiere Thursday, September 10. All episodes of the highly anticipated new season will be available to stream at premiere, exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. The season three official trailer and key art are also now available. Series creators Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer have returned to write, executive produce and star in the farewell season, which picks up after the season two cliffhanger of Gordon's unexpected proposal to Ashley.

Season three of Colin from Accounts reveals the aftermath of the ill-fated proposal, but while Gordon and Ashley are determined to move on from past embarrassments, they can't seem to shake their collective baggage. And even as life moves on, with challenges at work, ongoing family battles and new friendship dramas, something keeps pulling this flawed, funny pair back into each other's orbits. Do Gordon and Ashley belong together - or is their beloved dog Colin the only thing keeping their futures intertwined?

Alongside Brammall and Dyer, the season three cast includes Thomas Cocquerel (All Her Fault, Gilded Age), Nikki Shiels (The Last Anniversary, Prosper) and Mark Trevorrow (The Bob Downe Show, Kath & Kimderella), alongside returning favourites Emma Harvie, Genevieve Hegney, Michael Logo, Helen Thomson, Darren Gilshenan, Virginia Gay, Annie Maynard, Celeste Barber, Justin Rosniak and Tai Hara.

The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Vrach Frankenshteyn

The official trailer and key art for Chris Carter's highly anticipated director's cut The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Vrach Frankenshteyn were revealed. The film premieres August 14 on Disney+ and Hulu. The original 2008 film The X-Files: I Want to Believe will also be available the same day.

When a group of women is mysteriously abducted, it becomes a case right out of The X-Files. Years after walking away from the FBI, Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully are pulled back from the shadows when a federal agent vanishes without a trace. In a case you’d never see on TV, their only lead is a disgraced, defrocked priest claiming to have horrific psychic visions of the crime. Forced to confront the ghosts of their past, the partners must navigate a chilling winter landscape and an even darker human monstrosity. The truth of these crimes is out there somewhere … and it will take Mulder and Scully to find it.

This R-rated version represents the film Chris always envisioned — a darker, frightening thriller exploring a real-life Dr. Frankenstein. The restoration gives fans a chance to experience a side of the film that has never been seen before.

Amazon MGM Studios Orders Improvised Sitcom; The CW Renews Game Shows for Season 3

DINKS - Marta Kauffman, June Diane Raphael and Paul Scheer

Amazon MGM Studios has ordered DINKS (Dual Income No Kids), a first-of-its kind improvised multi-camera sitcom from Okay Goodnight, the production company founded by Emmy and Golden Globe-winning television writer, producer and showrunner Marta Kauffman (Friends, Grace and Frankie), one of television's most influential comedic voices.

The series comes to Amazon MGM Studios through an innovative partnership with Lionsgate and Publicis Media Content Innovation (PMCI) - the specialty entertainment division of Publicis Media - that reimagines the television financing model by bringing together a streamer, a studio and a media agency outside the traditional film and television ecosystem.

DINKS is co-created by Kauffman and Hannah K.S. Canter, and produced by their Okay Goodnight banner, Lionsgate Television and Amazon MGM Studios. Real-life married couple June Diane Raphael and Paul Scheer star in and executive produce the series, with Jon Gabrus set as a series regular. The comedy is about Josh (Scheer) and Charlie (Raphael), a couple who, in the absence of a marriage or kids, decide to literally build a life together by renovating their nightmare of a dream house.

Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit

The CW Network announced pickup orders for its three most successful original unscripted series, renewing Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit for a third season with new one-hour episodes, along with a fourth-season order for new one-hour episodes of Police 24/7.

Hosted by Emmy(R) Award-winning actor and comedian Craig Ferguson, Scrabble brings the iconic Hasbro word game to life as contestants put their vocabulary, strategy and quick thinking to the test for the chance to win life-changing cash prizes. Hosted by Emmy(R) and Grammy Award-winning entertainer LeVar Burton, Trivial Pursuit, developed by Hasbro Entertainment and inspired by the iconic Hasbro board game, transforms one of the world's most recognizable trivia brands into a fast-paced competition where contestants put their knowledge to the test across a wide range of categories. Along with the upcoming unscripted adaptation of Monopoly, the series is part of Hasbro Entertainment's portfolio of television programming based on the most beloved brands.

Executive produced by acclaimed unscripted producer SallyAnn Salsano through her Mullholland Media, Police 24/7 has been renewed for a fourth season. The series provides unprecedented access to law enforcement agencies across the country, following officers on patrol as they respond to emergencies, investigate crimes and serve their communities.

The second seasons of Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit continue on The CW this fall with new episodes debuting on Thursday, October 1. Premiere dates for the newly ordered seasons will be announced at a later date.

Netflix's Leanne Season 2 Trailer; Paramount+ Greenlights Clueless Event Series Starring Alicia Silverstone

Her fresh start is just getting started. Leanne Season 2 premieres August 27, only on Netflix! The official trailer and key art have been released.

Leanne's (Leanne Morgan) world is turned upside down when her husband of 33 years unexpectedly leaves her for another woman.

Alicia Silverstone

Paramount+ announced it has greenlit a sequel event series to the cult-classic 90s teen comedy film, Clueless. Alicia Silverstone will reprise her role as the Beverly Hills' it-girl Cher Horowitz and will also serve as an executive producer for the series, set to begin production in Los Angeles in 2027. The series will premiere globally and exclusively on Paramount+.

Picking up 30 years after the original film, beloved Beverly Hills icon Cher Horowitz has figured out a lot: She's successful in business and has mastered motherhood - that is, until her daughter's high school years, and Cher finds that parenting a teenager makes her feel "clueless" all over again.

Produced by CBS Studios, the series is written and executive produced by Josh Schwartz & Stephanie Savage (The OC, Gossip Girl, Nancy Drew) via Fake Empire, and Jordan Weiss (Freakier Friday, Dollface). Alicia Silverstone, Amy Heckerling, who wrote and directed the original film, and original film producer Robert Lawrence will also serve as executive producers.

Last Summer, Paramount Pictures' Clueless celebrated its milestone 30th anniversary, during which members of the original cast and movie's director reunited at a 35mm screening of the film at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. The film was also recently added to the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
