Seann William Scott and ex-wife Olivia Korenberg may be launching a custody battle.

We’ve seen how these custody wars can turn out. But this one is a little atypical.

According to Korenberg’s court filing, her actor ex-husband is yanking an entire house — one that she spent money upgrading — out from under her and their daughter.

She says that she’s looking for a new place to live, but feels trapped — unable to move to a cheaper location, and unsure what kind of child support she’ll be getting.

In Touch Weekly reports that, on April 11, Olivia Korenberg filed a motion to modify the current custody and support agreement with her ex-husband, actor Seann William Scott.

Shifting Gears ended Season 1 on a few cliffhangers. The ABC sitcom follows Matt Parker (Tim Allen), a widowed father who runs a car repair shop and whose daughter Riley (Kat Dennings) and grandchildren (Maxwell Simkins and Barrett Margolis) move in with him after her marriage becomes on the rocks. The final episode of Season 1 saw Riley’s husband, Jimmy (Lucas Neff), come back into town and tell her that he was offered a spot to open for the Foo Fighters. But first, he asked if she wanted to get back together. Instead of answering him right away, Riley gave him divorce papers by the end of the episode. This led to her childhood best friend/brother’s friend/dad’s coworker, Gabriel (Seann William Scott), confessing his feelings to her. However, she didn’t hear him because she’d fallen asleep on her couch after drinking too much at a party.

As the 2024-2025 television season winds down, ABC is already looking to the future, renewing veteran dramas “9-1-1,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “The Rookie” and “Will Trent,” as well as freshman sitcom “Shifting Gears.”

The five shows join the already renewed comedy “Abbott Elementary” and breakout hit drama “High Potential” as scripted shows returning to the network for the 2025-2026 television season.

In terms of new shows, the network has handed a straight-to-series order to “9-1-1: Nashville,” a spinoff of “9-1-1” that will star Chris O’Donnell.

“9-1-1” Renewed for Season 9

Produced by 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television and Brad Falchuk Teley-Vision, and set to enter its ninth season (third on ABC), “9-1-1” was created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear, and explores the high-pressure experiences of first responders — including police officers, firefighters and dispatchers — who are thrust into the most frightening, shocking and heart-stopping conditions. These emergency...

Matt and Riley are going to be living together for a while. ABC has renewed the Shifting Gears series for a second year and the 2025-26 TV season. The sitcom's first season of 10 episodes finished airing last month.

A multi-camera comedy series, the Shifting Gears TV show was created by Julie Thacker Scully & Mike Scully. It stars Tim Allen, Kat Dennings, Seann William Scott, Daryl Chill Mitchell, Maxwell Simkins, and Barrett Margolis. Jenna Elfman recurs. In the story, Matt (Allen) is the stubborn and widowed owner of a garage that specializes in fixing vintage and custom cars. Helping him are wisecracking and wheelchair-bound Stich (Mitchell) and handsome but not too bright Gabriel (Scott). Matt’s world is turned upside down when his estranged wild-child daughter returns, driving the Pontiac Pto she "borrowed" from him 15 years earlier.

ABC is keeping its foot on the gas as a leading network for dramas and comedies. The network has now revealed that it is renewing some of its biggest shows, including 9-1-1, Grey's Anatomy, The Rookie, Will Trent and more. Viewers can expect new seasons of those shows, which will bring 9-1-1 to Season 9, Grey's Anatomy to Season 22 (one of the longest-running dramas in television history), The Rookie to Season 8, and Will Trent to Season 4. Also among the shows lucky enough to get a renewal is Shifting Gears, starring Tim Allen and Kat Dennings, which will have a second season.

Keeping the renewal ball rolling, ABC has already revealed that High Potential, and its hit Quinta Brunson-led comedy Abbott Elementary, were being renewed. According to Variety, the only series still waiting to hear good news is Doctor Odyssey. The medical drama series follows Dr. Max Bankman (Joshua Jackson...

Shifting Gears ended its first season on Wednesday, March 19, with a shocking kiss and many questions for fans. The ABC freshman comedy stars Tim Allen as Matt, a widowed father whose daughter, Riley (Kat Dennings), and his grandchildren, Carter (Maxwell Simkins) and Georgia (Barrett Margolis) move in with him after things get rocky with Riley’s estranged husband, Jimmy (Lucas Neff). During the Season 1 finale, Riley decides to finally divorce Jimmy when he comes home for Georgia’s middle school graduation after announcing plans to tour with the Foo Fighters. Matt fights with his nemesis Eve (Jenna Elfman), who works next door to him and hits his car with his door. By the end of the episode, the enemies become lovers and share a shocking kiss. To celebrate Riley’s new singledom, her boss Eve throws her a party. Riley drinks a little too much, so Gabriel (Seann William Scott...

Shifting Gears is coming back. ABC has renewed the Tim Allen-fronted sitcom for a second season.

Per TVLine, the renewal comes less than a week after it was reported that Shifting Gears was one of two ABC shows "on the bubble," an idiom used in the entertainment industry to refer to a show whose future on its network is uncertain. The other show, the Ryan Murphy-created drama Doctor Odyssey, remains on the bubble following ABC's string of renewals today. Besides Shifting Gears, the network picked up four of its hit procedural dramas — 9-1-1, Grey’s Anatomy, The Rookie, and Will Trent — for another season.

Shifting Gears Season 1 Ended With a Cliffhanger

Created by Julie Thacker Scully and Mike Scully, Shifting Gears stars Allen as Matt Parker, a widower who runs an auto shop, and Kat Dennings as his estranged daughter, Riley Parker. The series revolves around Matt reluctantly taking...

ABC is keeping the engine running on its newest family comedy. The network has officially renewed Shifting Gears for Season 2, giving fans more time with Tim Allen and Kat Dennings' delightfully dysfunctional father-daughter duo. Created by Julie Thacker Scully and Mike Scully, with Michelle Nader serving as showrunner, the multi-cam sitcom follows estranged father Matt (Allen) and daughter Riley (Dennings) as they attempt to rebuild their fractured relationship — with plenty of sarcasm, misunderstandings, and reluctant bonding along the way.

There initially seemed to be little chance of the show not being renewed when it debuted in January and quickly became ABC’s most-streamed comedy premiere ever, pulling in a whopping 17 million cross-platform viewers in just seven days, but doubts began to creep in as live viewership dipped as the season progressed, even though the show consistently saw solid gains in delayed viewing.

Plot details for Season 2 are being kept under wraps,...

ABC has renewed freshman comedy series Shifting Gears, starring Tim Allen and Kat Dennings, for a second season. According to sources, the pickup is for 10 episodes, which is not atypical for a series that has launched in midseason and matches the sitcom’s Season 1 order.

Shifting Gears was one of two ABC series on the bubble this spring, along with fellow freshman Doctor Odyssey. The drama starring Joshua Jackson and Don Johnson now remains the only ABC scripted series in limbo as the network today also renewed — as expected — veterans Grey’s Anatomy, 9-1-1, The Rookie as well as third-year drama Will Trent, which join previously picked up High Potential and Abbott Elementary.

Marking the return to ABC of Last Man Standing and Home Improvement star Allen, Shifting Gears got off to a red-hot start, with the pilot episode logging almost 17M cross-platform viewers over its first week for ABC...

ABC is renewing four dramas and one comedy series, Variety has learned.

The Disney-owned broadcaster has picked up new seasons of “9-1-1,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “The Rookie,” and “Will Trent” as well as “Shifting Gears.” The renewals will bring “9-1-1” to Season 9, “Grey’s Anatomy” to Season 22, “The Rookie” to Season 8, “Shifting Gears” to Season 2, and “Will Trent” to Season 4.

ABC had previously announced renewals for both “High Potential” and the hit comedy “Abbott Elementary.” That means that the only current ABC show still awaiting word on a renewal is “Doctor Odyssey.” ABC has opted not to order any pilots this season, but did order the “9-1-1” spinoff “9-1-1: Nashville” straight-to-series, with Chris O’Donnell set for a lead role.

Of today’s renewals, only “Shifting Gears” was seen as a toss up for a new season. The Tim Allen-Kat Dennings multi-cam suffered a noticeable drop off in the ratings since its January debut.

Shifting Gears made waves back in January when it launched with a massive 17 million viewers across platforms in just seven days — which was actually the biggest multi-cam comedy debut in ABC history. But according to a new report from Deadline, the Tim Allen and Kat Dennings-led sitcom may be headed for an unexpected stall. Despite its strong start, the show is now at risk of cancelation due to declining ratings and the cost of its star-studded cast. Yes, a show that successful might not be renewed. Madness.

Created by Julie Thacker Scully and Mike Scully, with Michelle Nader as showrunner, Shifting Gears follows estranged father and daughter Matt (Allen) and Riley (Dennings) as they try to rebuild their relationship. The ensemble cast also includes Seann William Scott, Daryl "Chill" Mitchell, Maxwell Simkins, and Barrett Margolis.

While the series launched to massive numbers — pulling in 6.1 million live viewers and 7.38 million...

Supplementing its lineup with reality fare, game shows, newsmagazines, sports and occasional Hulu series reruns, ABC has the fewest scripted shows of the broadcast networks that program three hours of primetime this season with nine: six dramas and three comedies including the six-episode final run of The Conners. Compare that to 18 for CBS, with 14 dramas and four comedies; and 15 for NBC (which like ABC has a night of NFL football in the fall), with 11 dramas and four comedies.

Unlike CBS or NBC, ABC does not have pilots — regular or planted spinoffs — in contention for next season. The network has picked up one straight-to-series drama for 2025-2026, spinoff 9-1-1: Nashville. With few scripted shows on the air, no pilots in the pipeline and an existing series, The Conners, departing as 9-1-1: Nashville is coming on,...

Every once in a while, a movie makes so much money that it totally shakes up the film industry. This instance is especially true when a genre many considered dead and buried comes along and makes some serious cash. This rarity happened in a big way back in 1999 when American Pie, a movie that cost $11 million, made $235 million worldwide. Think about it – the biggest star in the film was Eugene Levy. More than that – it was a teen sex comedy. That genre played out in the early eighties when Porky’s was such a big hit that every studio decided to make a sex comedy, and pretty much all of them tanked – especially the multiple Porky‘s sequels. Teen sex comedies were replaced by John Hughes’s brand of more thoughtful teen comedies, only for that genre to fall off as well. A year before, Sony made a John Hughes-style teen comedy,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Righteous Gemstones Season 4 Episode 4, “He Goeth Before You Into Galilee.”] The Righteous Gemstones‘ latest installment uncovered a new facet of the televangelist family’s lore with a trip to their never-before-seen lake house, aptly named Galilee Gulch. The retreat was initially devised by the Gemstone siblings Jesse (Danny McBride), Judy (Edi Patterson), and Kelvin (Adam DeVine) as a way to break up their dad Eli (John Goodman) and his new girlfriend Lori (Megan Mullally). Tagging along for the adventure are their respective spouses and children, as well as Uncle Baby Billy (Walton Goggins) and Lori’s son Corey (Seann William Scott). What ensues are various shenanigans as the Gemstone siblings try to remind their dad Eli about the good times he had with his late wife Aimee-Leigh (Jennifer Nettles) with a variety of executions, including awkward musical performances, and mentions of Lori’s recent romantic entanglements. HBO Ultimately, the...

The White Lotus has not only earned Jennifer Coolidge two Emmys, but it’s also improved her romantic life.

In the first two seasons of the hit HBO series, Coolidge played the emotional and naive Tanya McQuoid, though she (Spoiler Alert!) dies after falling off a boat in the season two finale. The actress recently spoke to The Sunday Times about how that character differed from her role in the American Pie films.

“Even though I play a complete weirdo in White Lotus, cute guys come up to me. And this is far better than American Pie because people were really sad about Tanya falling off a boat,” she said. “These men like you better because they feel that you went through something. That show really upped my game!”

Coolidge continued, “I had a guy come up to me in New Orleans once. It was a few years ago and...

The Righteous Gemstones has traded hilarity for more serious storytelling, and I’m unsure whether it’s working.

The series has long engaged audiences because of its knack for changing things up, and The Righteous Gemstones Season 4 Episode 3 did it again.

The addition of Megan Mullally as Lori Milsap has been interesting because she’s supposed to be Aimee-Leigh’s ride-or-die.

((Connie Chornuk/HBO ))

Still, it’s now more apparent than ever that she has this self-serving reason for shacking up with her deceased friend’s husband.

Bringing in the incomparable Seann William Scott as Lori’s son, Corey, was a stroke of casting genius.

((Connie Chornuk/HBO ))

There’s much about the Milsap family that we don’t know, and I couldn’t help but wonder if a reveal is in store that Lori and Eli’s sexual chemistry began while Aimee-Leigh was still in the land of the living.

Believe it or not, there was a time in the not-so-distant past when the term “Milf” wasn’t part of the American vernacular. That all changed with the release of 1999’s American Pie, in which party-goers extolled the virtues of Stifler’s mom. Call Websters because this one is going in the dictionary.

But here’s a weird fact — despite Jennifer Coolidge appearing in four different American Pie movies as Stifler’s Mom, she never shared the screen with Seann William Scott, who played Stifler, the kid without a first name. “I actually never really had any scenes with her,” Scott told People. “We were in the same projects, but we never like… I don’t think there was one scene that we actually did together.”

Scott’s memory seems like it couldn’t possibly be right — until you think about it. Coolidge’s Jeanine Stifler may have been a Milf,...

The first season of Shifting Gears, a new ABC comedy series, came to an end this week and we have some details to share about a potential second season.

ABC has not yet renewed Shifting Gears for season two, but it seems likely to happen and the show’s executive producer Michelle Nader is already coming up with ideas for the storyline.

The show follows a widower Matt (Tim Allen) who runs an auto shop, who reluctantly takes in his estranged daughter Riley (Kat Dennings) and her two children.

At the end of the first season, Matt shared a kiss with Eve, played by guest star Jenna Elfman. She’s confirmed to return if the show is renewed!

American politics may be a nonstop car crash right now, but wrapping “Shifting Gears” Season 1, Kat Dennings sounded hopeful. A self-described “curmudgeon,” the actress returned to the multi-cam format this spring opposite Tim Allen for ABC’s odd-couple comedy — about a father and daughter reuniting from across opposite sides of the aisle.

“I’m not what you call a super positive person,” Dennings told IndieWire after filming the season finale. “I kind of expect the worst, and then I’m pleasantly surprised. I don’t know. It’s a bad tactic. I need therapy. But I wasn’t expecting this kind of harmony on set.”

At 38, Dennings has spent nearly three decades working in film and TV. From playing Samantha Jones’ snottiest client on “Sex and the City” to co-starring in six seasons of the smash-hit “2 Broke Girls” on CBS, the veteran performer has seen her share of episodic productions.

This article contains spoilers for the season finale of Shifting Gears.

On the heels of Shifting Gears’Season 1 finale, its star, Kat Dennings, is talking about the future of the Tim Allen-led ABC multi-camera sitcom. Per Deadline, Shifting Gears aired the finale of its first season on March 19, and Dennings is opening up about the future of the series since the first season ended with a cliffhanger.

Marvel Cinematic Universe veteran Dennings plays Riley, the daughter of Allen’s character, Matt, in Shifting Gears. In the series, Riley, along with her children, moves back home with her father, who is a widower. In the finale, Gabriel, played by Sean William Scott, ends up confessing to Riley that he has feelings for her. As the finale was a cliffhanger, fans are left wondering if Shifting Gears will get a second season.

Dennings: “I Never Expect Anything to Happen”

When asked...

After four seasons of glorious absurdity, HBO’s televangelist satire “The Righteous Gemstones” is wrapping things up—and it’s as hilariously chaotic and surprisingly heartfelt as ever. Created by Danny McBride, the series follows the Gemstones, a wealthy televangelist family whose constant bickering is matched only by their love of greed, fame, and—occasionally—each other. The final season stars McBride, John Goodman, Edi Patterson, Cassidy Freeman, Adam Devine, Tony Cavalero, and Walton Goggins, introducing new faces like Megan Mullally and Sean William Scott.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Shifting Gears season 1, episode 10!Shifting Gears star Kat Dennings has revealed the sitcom's writers were "split into two camps" when it came to a "Riley and Jimmy relationship." While the show focuses on Riley (Dennings) moving into her father Matt's (Tim Allen) house with her kids, her ex-husband, Jimmy (Lucas Neff) has been trying to win back her affections. The relationships between characters in Shifting Gearsare important, making it powerful when season 1 ends by confirming they're getting divorced.

Note: This story contains spoilers from “Shifting Gears” Episode 10.

“Shifting Gears” wrapped up an attention-grabbing first season with big romantic developments for both Riley (Kat Dennings) and her father Matt (Tim Allen) — but only one of them walked away with a kiss.

Episode 10 followed as Riley contemplated moving back in with her ex-husband Jimmy (Lucas Neff) after a new job opportunity gives him the chance to provide a new house for her and their kids — meaning she would move out of her father’s place, which kicked off the plot for the ABC comedy series. After some pondering, Riley opts to divorce Jimmy and begin to figure out who she is outside of the relationship that has defined her since she ran away from home after getting pregnant at 18.

The official end of her marriage also opened the door for her flirtation with Gabriel (Seann William Scott) to develop further,...

Despite having starred in many of the biggest movies of the last thirty years, including Good Will Hunting, Saving Private Ryan, the Jason Bourne films, The Martian and many more, Matt Damon once said that the movie fans most often quote to him is Eurotrip, with fans frequently approaching him, singing “Scotty Doesn’t Know.” A notable flop when it came out in 2004, thanks to DVD and streaming, Eurotrip went on to become a cult classic, and one that’s suddenly become a lot more bittersweet due to the tragic passing of one of its stars, Michelle Trachtenberg, who died recently at only thirty-nine years old. While mostly known for Harriet the Spy, and for her roles on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Gossip Girl, many, us here at JoBlo included, are fond of her charming performance in this underrated flick, which might have been considered just another comedy back in 2004, but in our current,...

Kiss Season 1 Episode 10 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “Shifting Gears,” titled “Kiss,” promises to bring a mix of drama and tough choices for the characters. This episode will air on ABC and is sure to keep fans engaged with its intriguing storyline.

In this episode, Jimmy makes a surprising return, bringing with him a new job and an unexpected proposition. He suggests that Riley and the kids move into his house. This offer puts Riley in a difficult position as she grapples with her feelings about her past and what the future might hold. The decision could change everything for her and the children, making it a pivotal moment in the series.

Meanwhile, tensions rise between Matt and Eve once again. Their ongoing feud takes a turn when Eve accidentally damages Matt’s car. This incident reignites their rivalry, leading to more conflict and chaos.

Before “Final Destination,” cheating death never seemed so fun.

Directed by James Wong from a screenplay he wrote with Glen Morgan, based on a story by Jeffrey Reddick, the film came out of nowhere on March 17, 2000, to hit moviegoers like a bus. Based around its characters dying from an intricate but outwardly mundane sequence of events, its premise would quickly become cultural shorthand for dangerous, naturally occurring Rube Goldberg scenarios and spawn a beloved horror franchise whose sixth installment, “Final Destination Bloodlines,” arrives in theaters May 16.

Yet even before “The X-Files” executive producers Wong and Morgan got involved with the project, “Final Destination” would never have existed without the science fiction television show. It was Reddick’s favorite at the time, and he wrote the original story as a spec script for the show to land a TV agent before producer Chris Bender recommended he develop it as a feature.

Canadian actress and entrepreneur Jasmine Mooney is speaking out after being detained by Ice.

Jasmine, 35, had a role in 2009′s American Pie: The Book of Love. She is also the co-founder of the beverage brand Holy! Water, and moved from Vancouver to Los Angeles several months ago.

However, she learned that her business Tn visa was revoked in November 2024 when she was visiting Vancouver, possibly because Holy! Water is a product containing Hemp.

Jasmine then got another job offer in Los Angeles, and went to the San Ysidro border with new visa paperwork on March 3. There, a border official ordered her to be detained. She was then transferred to multiple facilities across California and Arizona.

Back in 2016, developer Naughty Dog decided that it wasn’t quite done with Nathan Drake, and Uncharted 4 was assembled and debuted to widespread critical acclaim. Just like all the previous entries in the franchise, A Thief’s End was praised for its phenomenal production, values, imaginative settings, and epic action sequences.

Uncharted 4 was a massive success despite the fact that Naughty Dog lost its long-term series visionary and director, Amy Hennig. As it turns out, one approach by Neil Drunckmann in the game would’ve looked a lot different if Hennig had been involved in the development process.

The long-awaited fourth and final season of HBO's The Righteous Gemstones finally made its premiere on March 9, 2025, and so far the series' swan song has been a big hit with fans and critics. Starring Danny McBride, Adam DeVine, Edi Patterson, John Goodman and Walter Goggins, to name a few, The Righteous Gemstones follows a dysfunctional family of televangelists as they battle to keep their generational empire intact while preaching the gospel.

Kicking off with the episode "Prelude," The Righteous Gemstones Season 4 currently sits at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics unanimously agreeing that it's one of the best. Featuring an appearance by Bradley Cooper, Jack Hamilton from Slate said in his review that "Season 4 opens with a striking, stand-alone episode that I won't spoil other than to say that it's probably the most ambitious half-hour that the show has ever undertaken." Ross Bonaime from Collider adds:

Meanwhile, the tension between Matt and Eve reignites in a dramatic way. After Eve accidentally damages Matt’s car, their feud escalates, leading to some fiery confrontations. The episode promises plenty of laughs...

Creator Danny McBride explains how he scored Bradley Cooper for a shocking guest role in The Righteous Gemstones season 4 premiere. The fourth and final season of the hit HBO comedy began with an unexpected departure from its main cast, instead focusing entirely on Cooper's character, Elijah Gemstone. Set in 1862 Virginia, the premiere serves as an origin story for the Gemstone family's evangelist empire, with Elijah establishing himself as a fraudulent yet influential chaplain. Bradley Cooper's Righteous Gemstones role was kept entirely under wraps, making the appearance of the Oscar-nominated actor a huge surprise.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, McBride explainedthat Cooper agreed to do the premiere after reading the script, despite never having watched a single episode of The Righteous Gemstones. While the series has featured many guest stars from Macaulay Culkin to Joe Jonas, McBride doubted that they could land the A-lister. However, Cooper "dug the material...

Lest we forget the titular Gemstone family of HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones has had a rough and tumble past, series creator Danny McBride dropped a reminder with Sunday's “Prelude,” a flashback (waay back) story that kicks off the religion and family satire’s fourth and final season.

It’s a unique, but fantastic way to begin the ending, but it’s also a bold move to choose to show a season premiere that features none of the regular Gemstones characters we know and are completely fascinated/horrified/tickled by. No Eli (John Goodman), Jesse (McBride), Judy (Edi Patterson), Kelvin (Adam Devine), Uncle Baby Billy (Walton Goggins), and the rest of the Gemstone fam appear in the Civil War-set page out of the family’s history book.

Which is why multi-Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper ended up in the Gemstones stomping grounds of South Carolina, playing a bad dude who steals...

Fans of The Righteous Gemstones tuning in to the HBO comedy’s fourth and final season premiere Sunday likely suffered a major case of whiplash. The modern-day evangelical farce starring Danny McBride, Edi Patterson, Adam DeVine and John Goodman was, for all intents and purposes, gone, replaced with a Civil War-era, faux biopic headlined by 12-time Oscar-nominated actor Bradley Cooper.

The super-sized, standalone episode — arguably the boldest creative swing in Gemstones‘ history —functioned as a prologue to the show, one that explored the Gemstone family’s twisted, corrupt religious roots, circa 1862. According to McBride, Cooper’s casting as the brood...

Who's ready to get back into the shenanigans of the most divine family on television? I sure am! The Righteous Gemstones season 4 is finally almost here after an almost two year wait. Though we're happy the black comedy making its return, it's also bittersweet because this is the final season.

Today marks the beginning of the end, not to sound dramatic. But instead of dwelling on the goodbye, for now at least, let's celebrate what I'm sure is going to be a gloriously hilarious season! So when can you start tuning in?

When to watch The Righteous Gemstones season 4 each week

The Righteous Gemstones season 4 premieres tonight, March 9, 2025, starting at 10 p.m. Et on HBO and Max. One episode will be available on television and streaming, with a weekly release until the grand finale. Mark your calendars for Sunday, May 4. Just like its predecessors, the fourth season is a total of 9 episode.

The Gemstone family faces the end as season four of The Righteous Gemstones was announced to be the last of the HBO comedy. The Danny McBride-created show is just as outrageous as his last two HBO shows, Vice Principals and Eastbound & Down. The show satirizes real life as it follows a fictional family that leads a southern megachurch and comes up with wild ideas to sell their religion.

How Many Episodes Will the Final Season Have?

Like all the seasons before it, the final season of The Righteous Gemstones will have nine episodes. The first episode will premiere on Sunday, March 9, at 10 p.m. Et on HBO East and 10 p.m. Pt on HBO West. The episodes will also be released the same day on Max around the same time that they air.

Both a new series and a continuation of the dark and gritty Marvel drama that streamed on Netflix from 2015 to 2018, Disney+'s Daredevil: Born Again is set five years down the road and retains much of what made the original series so intensely captivating. In the nine-episode first season — the first two episodes of which are now streaming — Charlie Cox returns as blind lawyer-turned-vigilante Matt Murdock, arguably the MCU’s best utility player these days, having popped up in everything from Spider-Man: No Way Home to She Hulk: Attorney at Law to Echo. Also returning are Elden Henson and Deborah Ann Woll as Matt’s friends Foggy Nelson and Karen Page, respectively, and Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, who's been causing problems all over the Disney+ version of the MCU. Already renewed for a second season, the show wastes...

Hollywood has a long history of producing movies that, despite being great, fail to succeed at the box office, from classics like It's A Wonderful Life to modern cult gems like Dredd. While not every flop goes on to find success, some do earn praise from a dedicated fan base, earning them the status of cult classic. Where some of these films can garner a following soon after release, others can take years, even more than a decade for people to resonate with them.

Cult classics may not be box office gold, and even their sequels often fail to turn a profit, but they've maintained the appreciation of fans and critics alike. The reality is even if a movie is excellent, the studios don't always believe in them enough to market them, while others can face tough competition upon release. From treasured animated movies to stylish science fiction stories, all...

The notion that televangelists are hypocrites more often than not was cemented in culture sometime in the late ‘80s, when Jimmy Swaggart was found to have used the services of a sex worker, and Jim Bakker (also an alleged sex criminal) was convicted of financial crimes. Such stories are less common in the post-monoculture era, but they do occur, like when a plumber at the Houston megachurch of celebrity pastor Joel Osteen found $600,000 worth of cash and checks in the building’s walls. At the time, reports on the incident called out the way it echoed events in The Righteous Gemstones, the sitcom about a family of megachurch moguls that had premiered a couple of years earlier. The foundational gag of Gemstones is the chasm between how the family presents itself to the public and the filthy truth of their venality and intra-family verbal abuse. But even amid the show’s famously raunchy humor,...

The titular Gemstones of “The Righteous Gemstones” have always had a complicated and less-than-righteous past, but above all else, they have striven to do the right thing — to grow and change and aim to be better. That is, if they only could get out of their own way first.

This tension has long served as a thorough and weighty foundation for the HBO comedy series, but the final season of the Danny McBride-created series has this idea on Front Street. Season 4 picks up with the whole of the Gemstone family in various states of flux. After coming out, Kelvin (Adam DeVine) started an Lgbtqia+ organization at the church, called Prism, and is finding real success for the first time. Judy (Edi Patterson) and Bj (Tim Baltz) find their relationship stronger than ever until their bonds are tested like never before. Jesse (McBride) is struggling to locate his place in...

Like many of Danny McBride’s other shows, the religious spoof The Righteous Gemstones has amassed a devoted cult following over its past three seasons on HBO. For its fourth and final season, everyone involved with the show is on their A-game, delivering a consistently funny, smart, and exciting conclusion that reminds us of how great of a comedic mind McBride is.

The Righteous Gemstones Season 4 Review

This season of The Righteous Gemstones follows the eponymous family of pastors as they unearth past tensions that threaten to destroy their future. As always, we get to see this family of people who often live on a pedestal come crashing down, dealing with everything from wacky conspiracies to salacious scandals.

Set to air on ABC, this episode centers around Georgia as she invites her friends Matt and Riley to participate in her school’s Career Day. The excitement of sharing their professional experiences takes an unexpected turn when Riley discovers that Georgia feels ashamed of her job. This revelation leads to a playful competition that quickly escalates into a more serious confrontation.

As the episode unfolds, viewers will see how the dynamics between the characters shift. Georgia’s feelings about her career bring out different reactions from Matt and Riley, adding depth to their friendship. The playful banter that usually characterizes their interactions may take a backseat as they navigate the complexities of self-worth and pride in one’s profession.

Meanwhile, Eve finds herself in a tricky situation when she asks Gabriel and Stitch to donate to a charity auction. Her innocent request quickly spirals into chaos, putting the two in hot water. The episode is sure to deliver laughs and heartfelt moments as the characters navigate their challenges.

"Saturday Night Live" is, as the name implies, mostly a live show, which means it's important that things go according to plan in the live sketches. That means no major improvising, no missing your cue, and no accidentally flashing the camera. So it makes sense that the show has a rule that the actors have to be wearing underwear at all times, unless of course they're making a pre-taped sketch about a very revealing style of men's jeans.

Even when a character in their sketch is wearing underwear, cast members often wear their real underwear underneath it. Such was the case in a recent sketch (watch below) with Heidi Gardner, where her character was wearing an old-timey, exaggerated bra, but you can see another bra underneath it that goes unacknowledged by the other characters. The reasoning for this precaution becomes clear at the end of the sketch, where the globe...
