Bridgerton Season 4 Details and Live Premiere Event; NBC Pulls The Paper from Mondays

Behind the cover of a mask, anything can happen. Bridgerton Season 4 will arrive in two parts with Part 1 premiering January 29 and Part 2 on February 26. Only on Netflix. And YOU'RE INVITED. Bridgerton Season 4 World Premiere Masquerade Live Stream Event. Don't miss your chance to watch the red carpet event, exclusive cast interviews, and the first episode of Season 4 on January 14 streaming live from the red carpet in Paris, France.

Part 1 Premiere Date (episodes 401-404): January 29
Part 2 Premiere Date (episodes 405-408): February 26

From Shondaland and Jess Brownell, Bridgerton returns for a fairy-tale inspired fourth season. Bohemian second son Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) refuses to settle down, despite pleas to the contrary from matriarch Lady Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell). Until - at Violet's masquerade ball, Benedict is awestruck by a masked, mysterious Lady in Silver. With the reluctant help of his sister Eloise (Claudia Jessie), Benedict sets out in society to uncover the young lady's identity. But in fact, his heart's desire is not in society at all - she is a resourceful maid called Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha), working for the formidable Lady of the house, Araminta Gun (Katie Leung). When fate brings Benedict and Sophie back together, Benedict wrestles between the reality of his affection for this intriguing maid and the fantasy of the Lady in Silver - unaware that they are the same person. Will Benedict's inability to see these women as one in the same derail the undeniable spark between him and Sophie? And can love truly conquer anything - even a cross-class connection forbidden by society? Inspiring Benedict's journey are the marriages of his siblings - including Francesca (Hannah Dodd) to John Stirling (Victor Alli), and Colin (Luke Newton) to Penelope (Nicola Coughlan), who faces new challenges as a now public gossip columnist.

Series Regulars: Luke Thompson (Benedict Bridgerton), Yerin Ha (Sophie Baek), Jonathan Bailey (Anthony Bridgerton), Victor Alli (Lord John Stirling), Adjoa Andoh (Lady Danbury), Julie Andrews (Lady Whistledown), Lorraine Ashbourne (Mrs. Varley), Masali Baduza (Michaela Stirling), Nicola Coughlan (Penelope Bridgerton), Hannah Dodd (Francesca Stirling), Daniel Francis (Lord Marcus Anderson), Ruth Gemmell (Violet Bridgerton), Florence Hunt (Hyacinth Bridgerton), Martins Imhangbe (Will Mondrich), Claudia Jessie (Eloise Bridgerton), Luke Newton (Colin Bridgerton), Golda Rosheuvel (Queen Charlotte), Will Tilston (Gregory Bridgerton), Polly Walker (Portia Featherington), Emma Naomi (Alice Mondrich), Hugh Sachs (Brimsley). Additional Key Cast: Kate Bridgerton (Simone Ashley), Isabella Wei (Posy Li), Michelle Mao (Rosamund Li), and Katie Leung (Lady Araminta Gun).

NBC has pulled The Paper from Mondays. Instead the final three episodes of The Paper will air on Saturday, January 3 from 8pm-9:30pm followed by a repeat of St. Denis Medical at 9:30pm. Repeats of Stumble will now air on Mondays, January 5 through February 2 at 8:30pm instead of The Paper. After the Winter Olympic Games on February 23, new comedy The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins will take over the timeslot.

In other scheduling news, a repeat of Stumble will air at 7pm on Sunday, January 11 before an NFL Wild Card Game, while on Sunday, January 25 NBC has scheduled an original Dateline NBC from 7-9pm and repeats of Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU from 9-11pm opposite the NFL NFC Championship Game on Fox.

Tubi's Breaking Bear Premieres March 2026; NBC's Stumble Trailer

Tubi, Fox Corporation's ad-supported streaming service, took center stage on Saturday October 11, at New York Comic Con with an exclusive panel for its upcoming adult animated comedy series Breaking Bear - a wildly original new series that hilariously parodies mobster dramas, blending the world of Yogi Bear with The Sopranos in the most comically way imaginable. Breaking Bear will be available to stream exclusively on Tubi March 2026.

The New York Comic Con panel featured series stars Brendan Fraser, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Annie Murphy, and Elizabeth Hurley. Fans in the packed room were treated to exclusive first-look clips of Breaking Bear, including the hilarious opening sequence. In a surprise-and-delight moment, the cast also teased the upcoming Breaking Bear merchandise collection.

The series is a fur-flying, law-breaking, forest-saving rampage following a dysfunctional family of bears who go full criminal to stop frackers, mobsters, and a psychotic wolf pack from destroying their home. As they spiral deeper into the criminal abyss, they face off against biker gangs, an egomaniacal news anchor, and their own spectacular talent for self-sabotage.

The series has an all-star cast of series regulars with OscarⓇ Winner Brendan Fraser (The Whale), EmmyⓇ Winner Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), EmmyⓇ Winner Annie Murphy (Schitt's Creek), with Elizabeth Hurley (The Royals) and TonyⓇ Nominee Josh Gad (Frozen) voicing the characters.

NBC has released the trailer for their new single-camera comedy Stumble. The comedy premieres Friday, November 7 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. Episodes will be available to stream the next day on Peacock.

A mockumentary about the ridiculously high stakes competitive world of junior college cheer. The comedy stars Jenn Lyon, Taran Killam, Ryan Pinkston, Jarrett Austin Brown, Anissa Borrego, Arianna Davis, Taylor Dunbar, Georgie Murphy with recurring guest star Kristin Chenoweth.

NBC Schedules The Paper and Stumble in November; Remembering Patricia (Pat) Crowley of Please Don't Eat the Daisies

NBC is solidifying its November comedy lineup with the addition of the new series Stumble, which will debut Friday, November 7 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT, as well as the critically acclaimed Peacock original The Paper, set to premiere Monday, November 10 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT. The addition of both shows gives NBC a powerhouse comedy slate that already includes the hit sophomore series St. Denis Medical and Happy's Place, starring Reba McEntire.

November will now feature back-to-back comedies on Mondays as the second season of St. Denis Medical (which launches November 3) will lead off the night at 8 p.m., followed by The Paper at 8:30 p.m. The NBC Monday lineup also includes The Voice at 9 p.m. and Brilliant Minds at 10 p.m. Friday's lineup will feature second-year hit series Happy's Place at 8 p.m. followed by Stumble, with both shows premiering November 7.

Actress Patricia (Pat) Crowley, who starred as Joan Nash in Please Don't Eat the Daisies, has died. She died of natural causes in Los Angeles on September 14. Ms. Crowley was 91.

Crowley's first sitcom starring role was as Judy Foster in the 1951-1952 ABC Saturday morning version of A Date with Judy. The series follows the trials of a hyperactive bobby-soxer and her harassed parents, Melvin and Dora. Her boyfriend is Oogie Pringle. A primetime version with a mostly different cast ran on ABC from 1952 to 1953. The daytime version also starred Jimmy Sommer, Gene O'Donnell, Anna Lee, and Judson Rees.

She starred as Joan Nash in the 1965-1967 NBC sitcom Please Don't Eat the Daisies. Jim (Mark Miller) and Joan Nash are a married couple who live in an old, turreted house in Ridgemont, New York, with their four rambunctious sons (Kyle, Joel, and identical twins Trevor and Tracy), a very tolerant live-in maid, and an enormous Old English sheepdog named Ladadog. The series ran for two seasons and 58 episodes. The cast included Kim Tyler, Brian Nash, Joe Fithian, Jeff Fithian, Shirley Mitchell, Harry Hickox (1965-1966), King Donovan (1966-1967), Dub Taylor (1965-1966), Ellen Corby, Bill Quinn (1966-1967) and Jean VanderPyl (1966-1967).

Crowley appeared with fellow TV moms Barbara Billingsley (Leave it to Beaver), June Lockhart (Lassie), Isabel Sanford (The Jeffersons) and Alley Mills (The Wonder Years) in a 1995 episode of Roseanne. Some of her other sitcom guest appearances included The Tab Hunter Show (1960), Love, American Style (1969), Happy Days, The Love Boat (3 episodes), Empty Nest, Frasier, Thunder Alley, Friends, and Love Boat: The Next Wave.

She starred as Georgia Cameron, Joe Forrester's (Lloyd Bridges) girlfriend, in the 1975-1976 NBC police drama Joe Forrester. She had a recurring role as Emily Fallmont in 9 episodes of the ABC primetime soap opera Dynasty in 1986. In 1989, she had a recurring role as Rebecca Whitmore #1 in the NBC soap opera Generations. She had a recurring role as Mary Scanlon in 251 episodes of the ABC soap opera Port Charles from 1997 to 2001.

Some of her other television guest appearances in the 1950s and 1960s included Armstrong Circle Theatre (4 episodes), Goodyear Television Playhouse (2 episodes), The United States Steel Hour (2 episodes), Lux Video Theatre (2 episodes), General Electric Theater (2 episodes), The Loretta Young (3 episodes), Schlitz Playhouse of Stars (3 episodes), The Untouchables, Maverick (3 episodes), Goodyear Theatre (2 episodes), 77 Sunset Strip (2 episodes), Rawhide, Bonanza, The Twilight Zone, Dr. Kildare (2 episodes), and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964).

Crowley's 1970s to 1990s television guest appearances included Marcus Welby, M.D. (1971), Columbo, Police Story (4 episodes), The Streets of San Francisco, Family, Fantasy Island (2 episodes), The Rockford Files, Charlie's Angels (2 episodes), Hawaii Five-O (1980), Matt Houston, Falcon Crest (2 episodes), Hotel, Finder of Lost Loves (1985), Murder, She Wrote (1987), Melrose Place, Beverly Hills, 90210 (3 episodes), and Charmed (1999). Her guest appearances in the 2000s included Family Law, The Closer, and Cold Case.

She played Clara Mootz/Sally Carver in the 1953 film Forever Female and Dr. Autumn Claypool in Money from Home (1954). She was awarded the Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer - Female for her performances in the films. She starred as Terry Roberts in Hollywood or Bust (1956), which was the last film Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin appeared in together.

Ms. Crowley was a talented and versatile actress. She was funny and lovely as Joan Nash in Please Don't Eat the Daisies. The series should be available on DVD or streaming. It hasn't aired in syndication for many years. We thank her for the laughs and entertainment that she brought us during her 60-year career. She will be deeply missed.

We also remember Emmy-winnning writer and producer John Masius. He created the 1990 NBC sitcom Ferris Bueller. He died from complications of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) at his home in Los Angeles on September 13. Mr. Masius was 75.

Masius was one of the creators and producers of the 1988-1989 NBC comedy-drama Tattingers, which was briefly revived in the spring of 1989 as the half-hour sitcom Nick & Hillary. He developed and produced the short-lived 1990 NBC sitcom Ferris Bueller. He wrote three episodes of the 1991-1992 CBS sitcom Brooklyn Bridge. He received The Humanitas Prize for his work on the series. He was a creative consultant and wrote an episode of the 1995-1997 NBC sitcom The Single Guy.

He won two writing Emmy Awards for the NBC medical drama St. Elsewhere in 1984 and 1986. Some of his other writing credits included The White Shadow (3 episodes), Dolphin Cove (4 episodes), L.A. Law (4 episodes), The Visitor, and Dead Like Me.

Masius was credited with creating the 1994-2003 CBS drama Touched by an Angel, the 1999-2002 NBC medical Providence, and the 2009-2011 TNT medical drama Hawthorne.

Some of his other producing credits included The White Shadow, St. Elsewhere, Dolphin Cove, L.A. Law, The Visitor, Dead Like Me, and Hawthorne.

Mr. Masius received 14 total Emmy nominations for his work on St. Elsewhere. He earned a number of Writers Guild Awards, Humanitas Prizes, a Peabody Award and a People’s Choice Award. We thank him for his work on television. He will be greatly missed.

Singer and songwriter Bobby Hart was part of the duo Boyce and Hart. They were well known for their songwriting for the Monkees. He died in Los Angeles on September 10. Mr. Hart was 86.

In late 1965, Tommy Boyce and Hart wrote, produced and performed the soundtrack of the pilot for The Monkees, including singing lead vocals (which were later replaced, once the show was cast). The Monkees themselves re-recorded their vocals over Boyce and Hart's when it came time to release the songs, including both "(Theme from) The Monkees" and "Last Train to Clarksville", the latter being a huge hit.

Boyce and Hart performed "Girl, I'm Out To Get You" in the 1967 I Dream of Jeannie episode titled "Jeannie the Hip Hippie." They performed "I'll Blow You a Kiss in the Wind" in the 1970 Bewitched episode titled "Serena Stops the Show." In 1970, they guest starred in The Flying Nun episode titled "When Generations Gap".

They wrote hits for Jay and the Americans ("Come a Little Bit Closer"), Paul Revere & the Raiders ("(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone"), and the Leaves ("Words"). The duo also wrote the theme song of the NBC daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives.

Boyce and Hart wrote more than 300 songs, and sold more than 42 million records as a partnership. We thank them for the music. Mr. Hart will be sorely missed.
