According to The Hollywood Reporter, Zach Braff is going to reprise his role on the new Scrubs. There’s no word if Braff’s Dr. John ‘J.D.’ Dorian will be the lead or a supporting player, but he’s on board for the show. This does make it seem like more of the original cast will be returning, but a lot will depend on if deals can be made. Braff has been directing episodes of Lawrence’s recent shows, so that relationship continuing likely had something to do with it. More when we have it.

Welcome to Derry is set 27 years before the events of the first It, and will examine the “It’s” previous killing spree as it leads up to the main story of the first film. Skarsgård is set to reprise his role as Pennywise the Clown, with Muschietti also tapped to direct several episodes.

According to Deadline, Fox is coming aboard as a guest star, reuniting with Bill Lawrence, who had him on his shows Spin City (as star) and Scrubs (as a guest). There’s no word yet on who he’s playing, but with Harrison Ford‘s character dealing with Parkinson’s, there may be a natural pairing. More when we have it, but Shrinking is only getting better, so this is wonderful news for all involved.

Fans are getting a first look at Marvel Television’s “Ironheart” today with the debut of a teaser trailer and poster. Launching exclusively on Disney+ on June 24, the intriguing new series stars Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams, a young, genius inventor whose iron suits rival the best in the MCU. The character made her debut in 2022’s “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” directed by Ryan Coogler. “Ironheart is such a great character in publishing,” said Coogler. “In 2016, Brian Michael Bendis created a character who would be a successor of sorts to the Iron Man legacy. In the comic book, Riri Williams and Tony Stark had a relationship—she was a student at MIT who came from an almost polar opposite background as Tony, but they came together in their passion to better society. Eventually, the character gets her own identity as Ironheart, and other writers like Eve Ewing picked up from there, taking Riri Williams to Chicago.”

Set after the events of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “Ironheart” pits technology against magic when Riri—determined to make her mark on the world—returns to her hometown of Chicago. Her unique take on building iron suits is brilliant, but in pursuit of her ambitions, she finds herself wrapped up with the mysterious yet charming Parker Robbins aka “The Hood” (Anthony Ramos).The series also stars Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, Regan Aliyah, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam and Anji White. Chinaka Hodge is head writer; episodes are directed by Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes. Executive producers include Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Zoie Nagelhout, Chinaka Hodge, Ryan Coogler, Sev Ohanian and Zinzi Coogler. Music is by Dara Taylor. Produced in association with Proximity Media,“Ironheart” launches on Disney+ June 24, 2025.

Here now is the teaser trailer for Ironheart:

Here is the press release:

Matt Remick scores a win for Continental Studios! Following the widely celebrated premiere of “The Studio,” Apple TV+ today announced that the critically acclaimed, star-studded hit series has landed a renewal for season two. Since its global debut, “The Studio” has struck a chord with cinephiles, fans and critics alike, and has been declared the “best new comedy of 2025,” as well as “one of Hollywood’s sharpest self-portraits in ages.”

“We’re thrilled to be making a second season of ‘The Studio.’ We’re looking forward to taking the lived experience of making season one and immediately putting it into season two, then repeating that loop for ten more seasons,” said creators and executive producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. “And, we’re excited to keep all our industry friends and colleagues guessing as to when one of their personal stories will stream on Apple TV+.”

“Seth, Evan, the entire creative team and cast of ‘The Studio’ have knocked it out of the park with this brilliant show, and it has been incredible to watch the conversation grow with each new episode.” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “We can’t wait to see where Matt Remick takes Continental Studios in season two, and hope for his sake that the ‘Kool-Aid’ movie crushes at the box office.”

In “The Studio,” Rogen stars as Matt Remick, the newly appointed head of embattled Continental Studios. As movies struggle to stay alive and relevant, Matt and his core team of infighting executives battle their insecurities as they wrangle narcissistic artists and craven corporate overlords in the ever-elusive pursuit of making great films. With their power suits masking their never-ending sense of panic, every party, set visit, casting decision, marketing meeting and award show presents them with an opportunity for glittering success or career-ending catastrophe. As someone who eats, sleeps and breathes movies, it’s the job Matt’s been pursuing his whole life, and it may very well destroy him. 

“The Studio” assembles a star-studded ensemble cast led by Rogen, Emmy, SAG and Golden Globe Award winner Catherine O’Hara, Emmy Award nominee Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz and Chase Sui Wonders, with Emmy Award winning guest star Bryan Cranston. The series also features a lineup of cameos from some of Hollywood’s most iconic actors, directors and producers throughout the season.

The eighth episode of “The Studio” premieres this week on Apple TV+. In this week’s new episode, “The Golden Globes,” Matt tries to get Zoë Kravitz to thank him in her award acceptance speech.

Hailing from Lionsgate Television, “The Studio” is created by multi-Emmy Award winners Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory, along with Rogen, Goldberg and Frida Perez. Point Grey Pictures’ James Weaver executive produce the show along with the 

creators. Alex McAtee and Josh Fagen also serve as executive producers.

In addition to “The Studio” Rogen also stars in and executive produces “Platonic,” alongside Rose Byrne, with Rogen, Goldberg’s and Weaver’s Point Grey Pictures’ set to produce season two, debuting this summer. 

Apple TV+ offers premium, compelling drama and comedy series, feature films, groundbreaking documentaries, kids and family entertainment, and is available to watch across all of a user’s favorite screens. After its launch on November 1, 2019, Apple TV+ became the first all-original streaming service to launch around the world, and has premiered more original hits and received more award recognitions faster than any other streaming service in its debut. To date, Apple Original films, documentaries and series have been honored with 569 wins and 2607 award nominations and counting, including multi-Emmy Award-winning comedy “Ted Lasso” and historic Oscar Best Picture winner “CODA.”

Brown, Ted Danson, Linda Lavin, Cristin Milioti, and Michelle Williams, among others.

“Building on the success of last year’s inaugural ceremony, the Gotham Television Awards returns with new categories, expanded tributes, and a larger stage to celebrate the creators and artists making their mark on today’s television landscape,” said Jeffrey Sharp, Executive Director of The Gotham. “As the first awards show of the new television season, we are proud to bring together the industry’s most exciting new voices, celebrate breakthrough achievements, and deepen our commitment to supporting the creative community.”

The Breakthrough Comedy, Drama, Limited, and Nonfiction Series Awards recognize exceptionally crafted work that pushes the boundaries of creativity in their respective categories. Outstanding Performance Awards will honor outstanding lead and supporting performances in the three Breakthrough fiction series categories (Comedy, Drama, and Limited Series). Additionally, the inaugural category of Outstanding Original Film, Broadcast or Streaming will honor original features aired or transmitted for the first time during the eligibility period on television (network, basic cable, pay cable, pay television, pay-per-view, interactive cable, broadband) or digital distribution through internet streaming platforms.  This will also be the first year The Gotham will honor an outstanding lead or supporting performance in an Original Film. 

Nominees were selected by committees of film and television critics, journalists, festival programmers, and film curators. Separate juries of writers, directors, actors, producers, editors, and others directly involved in making television will determine the final Gotham Television Awards recipients. 

At the inaugural 2024 Gotham Television Awards winners included Baby Reindeer, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Colin from Accounts, and Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show. The 2024 ceremony also bestowed tributes on Mariska Hargitay, Peter Morgan, and Lulu Wang. The Gotham 2025 Television Awards Ceremony will be held live and in person at 7PM on Monday, June 2, 2025 at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.
