The long-rumored Scrubs reboot is getting closer to reality. The project is now officially in development at ABC from 20th Television after overcoming the main hurdle, securing the involvement of series creator/executive producer Bill Lawrence.
As Deadline has reported, an agreement had to be worked out with Warner Bros TV, where Lawrence is under an exclusive overall deal and has four series. After weeks of negotiations, the Scrubs reboot has been carved out of that pact, allowing Lawrence to develop the followup for Disney’s 20th TV and ABC. (He won’t serve as Scrubs showrunner though.)
With Lawrence on board, 20th TV is moving in to secure the main Scrubs original cast. I hear that includes star Zach Braff, who plays John “J.D.” Dorian, Sarah Chalke (Elliot Reid), Donald Faison (Christopher Turk) and John C. McGinley (Perry Cox).

ABC is exploring a second spinoff from its popular series ‘The Rookie,’ according to Deadline. Unlike the previous offshoot that ventured into the FBI’s territory, this new project stays closer to the original’s roots in police drama.
‘The Rookie,’ starring Nathan Fillion as John Nolan, originally depicted a man starting over as the oldest rookie in the LAPD, a theme of midlife transformation that this new spinoff will also embrace.
Alexi Hawley, creator of ‘The Rookie,’ is behind the script for this potential series, which is set in Washington state.
It follows a male police officer who, like Nolan, is tackling a significant life change in what’s described as his second act.
Hawley is joining forces again with Fillion, who besides starring in the original, will serve as an executive producer on the new project alongside other ‘The Rookie’ executive producers Bill Norcross and Michelle Chapman. Norcross...

HBO’s “Harry Potter” series is eyeing Paapa Essiedu to join the TV adaptation as Severus Snape, according to media reports.
The “I May Destroy You” actor is being considered to star in the upcoming series as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry’s potion master, a character played by the late Alan Rickman in the Warner Bros. movie series throughout the 2000s.
Though Essiedu, who has also appeared in “The Outrun” and The “Lazarus Project,” is being eyed for the role of Snape — who is frequently positioned as an antagonist to the titular character — no deals have been made and Essiedu has not formally accepted the role.
“We appreciate that such a high-profile series will draw a lot of rumor and speculation,” a spokesperson for HBO said in a statement. “As we make our way through pre-production, we will only confirm details as we finalize deals.”

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Fire Country Season 3 Episode 7 “False Alarm.”] When Jared Padalecki was first cast as Camden on Fire Country, it was said that there was potential for him to get a spinoff. Now that his three-episode arc has wrapped, it’s easy to see how he’s been set up for just that. Camden came to Edgewater as Bode’s (Max Thieriot) Phase 3 training instructor, and from the start, he’s rubbed people the wrong way; notably, Jake (Jordan Calloway) and Sharon (Diane Farr) weren’t exactly pleased with how he went about things on Bode’s first call, sending him on top of a plane on fire. Then, in the second episode, he clashed with Vince (Billy Burke) when it came to a fire threatening an eagle’s nest. In fact, Bode choosing to stay and help his father and friends almost led to him not graduating. But after Bode and...

Ruth Landry (Margo Martindale) can’t seem to catch a break. She’s already struggling to pay the bills ever since her husband Martin slipped into a coma (trying...

At its heart, hip-hop is about the craft. Anyone can grab a mic, diss an opponent, freestyle a rhyme. But if there’s one thing made abundantly clear in Rhythm + Flow, it’s that making a hit takes talent, and above all — hard work.
After a handful of challenges in the hip-hop/rap competition that tested the contestants against each other, the seven Rhythm + Flow Season 2 semifinalists finally got to show their work, shining on their own for the first time in their true introductions to the judges — and the world.
Then, whittled down to the last round of competitors, the final four worked with award producers and hitmakers to bring their visions to life — incorporating visuals and staging with their music.

A contestant on The Price is Right amazed fans by pulling off not just one, but two perfect Big Wheel spins during the Showcase Showdown, making himself $25,000 richer in a statistically improbable blink of an eye. The Big Wheel, also known as the Showcase Showdown, is a special game that determines which contestant advances to the finale. The three contestants who have won their way up on stage compete for the chance to play in the Showcase. The contestants spin a “Big Wheel” to determine how close they must come to the $1.00 space without going over. Whoever comes closest goes into the Showcase round, where the episode’s flashiest prizes await. However, there’s a bonus for landing the wheel exactly on $1.00. During Drew Carey’s second season as host, the cash bonuses were upped to $10,000 for a green bonus space (the $.05 and $.15) and $25,000 for the red bonus space (the...

The second season of the “Star Wars” series “Ahsoka” is moving its film production from Los Angeles to the United Kingdom, and at present, its studio Lucasfilm does not have any film or series projects currently slated to film in LA, IndieWire has confirmed.
A studio insider disputed the idea that all film and TV production for Lucasfilm would relocate to the UK, adding that no hard and fast decision has been made.
Lucasfilm has a long UK history dating back to George Lucas’ original “Star Wars” trilogy as well as films like “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.” “The Mandalorian & Grogu,” which recently wrapped and is slated for release in 2026, became the first “Star Wars” project to shoot entirely in California. The film earned one of the largest tax credits ever issued by the state, with over $21 million in conditional tax credits.
