83rd Golden Globe Winners; Tubi's Upcoming YA Film Slate

The 83rd Golden Globe Awards honored the best in film and American television of 2025, as chosen by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA). The ceremony was held Sunday night (January 11), from The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, with it being aired live on CBS and streamed on Paramount+. Nikki Glaser hosted the ceremony once again.

The big television winners were Adolescence with 4 wins and The Studio & The Pitt with two wins each. The Studio won for Best Television Series - Musical/Comedy. Hacks star Jean Smart won again for Best Television Actress - Musical/Comedy Series. The Studio's Seth Rogen won for Best Television Actor - Musical/Comedy Series once again. Ricky Gervais won for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television for his special Ricky Gervais: Mortality. See the full list of winners.

Tubi (www.tubitv.com), Fox Corporation's ad-supported streaming service, announced that it has cast its YA horror comedy Original movie Buzzkill with Siena Agudong (Sidelined: The QB and Me and Sidelined 2: Intercepted), Brec Bassinger (Final Destination: Bloodlines) and Aliyah's Interlude (English Teacher). Buzzkill is currently in production.

When a group of sorority sisters find themselves trapped with a vengeful killer, party-girl Nora knows that the drunker she gets, the more her tipsy memories start revealing clues about who's murdering her friends. But she'd better hurry, or her next vodka soda might be her last call. Siena Agudong plays "Nora," a fast-talking party girl written off as the house screw-up, until her sorority sister's murder reveals she may be the only person capable of solving the crime. Using alcohol to unlock her fractured memories, Nora chases the truth, even if it destroys her. Brec Bessinger plays "Kendall," a flawless legacy queen; she is Sigma Omega Koppa perfection personified. Treating tragedy like a PR crisis, Kendell will bury anything that threatens the sorority's pristine façade. Aliyah's Interlude plays "Lexi." Allergic to all things fake, she's Sigma's resident truth-teller and her no-nonsense attitude doesn't have time for Nora's obsession with solving a murder. That is until Nora's chaotic theories turn out to actually have some real truth to them.

Buzzkill is produced by Blue Ice Pictures with Lance Samuels, Siena Agudong, Jem Garrard, Suzanne Keilly as executive producers. It most recently premiered SIDELINED 2: INTERCEPTED starring Siena Agudong and Noah Beck, Tubi's most successful Original movie, and driving an incredibly young wave of new viewers with a median age of 21.

In 2026, coming of age stories How to Lose a Popularity Contest starring Sara Waisglass (Ginny & Georgia) and Chase Hudson, and Kissing is the Easy Part starring Asher Angel (Shazam! Fury of the Gods) and Paris Berelc (Alexa & Katie) will premiere exclusively as Tubi Originals on the platform.

• After 46 seasons (we question how they count seasons, it has only been 14 years, though 14 long years) and 1700 episodes, MTV has canceled Ridiculousness, but don't get too excited yet because there are still unaired episodes and they never said they were dropping reruns. (Variety)

• If you subscribe to YouTube TV, you've lost your Disney owned channels. (USA Today)
• June Lockhart, one of the very few remaining stars from the black and white era of television, died this week at age 100. (SitcomsOnline)

ABC Fall 2025 Premiere Dates; The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to End in May 2026

ABC unveiled its fall 2025 premiere dates, showcasing a lineup of fan-favorite reality shows, heartwarming comedies and thrilling dramas, including the highly anticipated new series, 9-1-1: Nashville. Monday Night Football returns on most Mondays beginning September 8 (Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears). Breakout hit and last season's No. 1 new program, High Potential, returns for its second season Tuesday, September 16, following ballroom sensation Dancing with the Stars, which will celebrate its milestone 20th anniversary. The Golden Bachelor returns Wednesday, September 24, with a two-hour premiere featuring new leading man Mel Owens, followed by a new season of Shark Tank. The sophomore season of Shifting Gears and a new season of Emmy and Golden Globe(R) Award-winning comedy Abbott Elementary join Wednesday nights beginning October 1.

From executive producer Ryan Murphy, the newest iteration of the 9-1-1 universe, 9-1-1: Nashville, debuts Thursday, October 16, alongside principal series 9-1-1 and the longest-running primetime medical drama in television history, Grey's Anatomy. Ryan Seacrest hosts his inaugural season of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune alongside the legendary Vanna White when the beloved game show premieres Friday, September 26, followed by new episodes of ABC News' 20/20. America's Funniest Home Videos returns Sunday, September 28, before The Wonderful World of Disney broadcast premiere of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Additional movies to air this fall include the broadcast premieres of Elemental, Avatar: The Way of Water and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

As previously announced, new seasons of returning series American Idol, The Bachelor, Celebrity Jeopardy!, The Rookie and Will Trent will debut in 2026, as well as the recently picked up comedy series Scrubs. These premiere dates will be announced at a later date.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end in May 2026 at the close of the 2025-26 broadcast season. Colbert announced the news during tonight's taping at the Ed Sullivan Theater.

Official statement: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end its historic run in May 2026 at the end of the broadcast season. We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire The Late Show franchise at that time. We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television.

This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.

Our admiration, affection, and respect for the talents of Stephen Colbert and his incredible team made this agonizing decision even more difficult. Stephen has taken CBS late night by storm with cutting-edge comedy, a must-watch monologue and interviews with leaders in entertainment, politics, news and newsmakers across all areas. The show has been #1 in late night for nine straight seasons; Stephen's comedy resonates daily across digital and social media; and the broadcast is a staple of the nation's zeitgeist.

The accomplishments of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert are memorable and significant in performance, quality and stature. With much gratitude, we look forward to honoring Stephen and celebrating the show over the next 10 months alongside its millions of fans and viewers."
