Exclusive: Authentic Talent and Literary Management has a new banner signing, or three.

The company has signed Patricia Heaton and David Hunt and their production company FourBoys Entertainment.

The Middle and Everybody Loves Raymond star and Hunt, who has appeared in series such as 24, Homeland, and Mad Men, launched FourBoys Entertainment in 2001. It is behind series such as CBS’ Carol’s Second Act and TNT’s The Engagement Ring as well as The Bituminous Coal Queens of Pennsylvania documentary directed by Hunt and Hallmark movies The Christmas Heart and Christmas at Cartwright’s.

Heaton is the rare star who led two long-running sitcoms, playing Debra Barone on CBS’ Everybody Loves Raymond, which ran from 1996 and 2005, winning two lead Emmys across seven nominations.

Four years after the CBS sitcom ended, Heaton starred on ABC’s The Middle as Frankie Heck. Heaton would play the role for nine seasons between 2009 and 2018.

FourBoys...

If you grew up in the early 2000s, chances are you spent many evenings with Ray Barone (Ray Romano) and his eccentric family in the hit comedy series "Everybody Loves Raymond." For good reason. This critically acclaimed sitcom about Ray, a Newsday sportswriter, dealing with his put-upon wife Debra (Patricia Heaton), bickering parents (Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts), and neurotic brother Robert (Brad Garrett), perfectly captures the working-class family and all its quirks, resulting in a heartfelt, often hilarious look at everyday life.

Running from 1997 to 2005, "Raymond" won 15 Primetime Emmys, garnered critical acclaim, and averaged over 20 million viewers during its peak. More impressively, the cast became household names, forever tied to their characters. Still, while many cast members achieved even greater success following the show's finale, others faded into obscurity or endured heartbreaking tragedy. Interested to learn more? Then, keep reading to see what happened to the cast of "Everybody Loves Raymond.

Riley’s estranged husband shows up to win her back, much to Matt’s dismay, in the Feb. 5 episode of ABC’s Shifting Gears — and TVLine has your exclusive first look.

Lucas Neff, best known to TV audiences for his starring role as Jimmy Chance in Fox’s Raising Hope, has been cast as, well… a different Jimmy! He first shows up at the Parkers’ front door in Episode 5 — and as the photos below indicate, Matt is not welcoming his son-in-law inside with open arms.

These legends of laughter continued to light up the entertainment world, each carving out a legacy that rivals their time on the show.MEGAPeter Boyle Mega

Before Everybody Loves Raymond, Peter Boyle appeared in Joe (1970), The Candidate (1972), Young Frankenstein (1974) and Taxi Driver (1976), as well as on and off-Broadway. Fans adored him in the role of Ray and Robbie's deadpan, slightly cranky dad, Frank.

However, off-screen, he was nothing like his coarse character. Instead, he was a friendly, warmhearted guy.

"He made me feel welcome," said Ray Romano. "He made me feel part of the club."

Shortly after the sitcom wrapped, Boyle died of multiple myeloma and heart disease in 2006 at age 71.

As the overbearing Marie, the Barone family matriarch, Doris Roberts doted on her sons while berating her two daughters-in-law and bickering with her husband.

Warning: Spoilers for Fraiser season 2, episode 9

Frasier Crane seems to have found his significant other in Holly Quagliano in Frasier. Played by actor Patricia Heaton, Holly debuted earlier in Frasier season 2, with her and Frasier finally becoming a couple in season 2, episode 9. The episode in question shows Frasier trying to prove he can be "cool" enough for Holly, only to unwittingly take her to Olivia's dreaded murder mystery party. Thus far, Heaton has been a refreshing addition to the Frasier reboot's cast.

Frasier isn't the first show Heaton has starred in alongside Kelsey Grammer. This series continues the pair's long-running work relationship, setting up a compelling new romance for the show. Not only do Grammer and Heaton work well together on-screen, but Holly is also the romantic foil that Dr. Crane needs to evolve as a character in 2023's Frasier revival.

Frasier Season 2 Reunites Kelsey Grammer & Patricia Heaton After Back...

Much like the original series, the "Frasier" revival has continued to provide an array of guest stars with each new episode. Season 2 has already brought back one of the best recurring characters from the Og series, and we've had a guest star who shares real life connection to Frasier himself, Kelsey Grammer. Everyone's favorite stuffy psychiatrist also traveled back to Seattle, the city in which he lived for all 11 seasons of his '90s show, where we got to see the return of fan favorites Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe (Dan Butler) and Gil Chesterton (Edward Hibbert).

As the season draws to a close, the show continues to bring in the guest stars, and episode 9 gives Frasier a new love interest in the form of Holly. Played by Patricia Heaton, Holly is a bartender at one of Frasier's local drinking spots. Holly actually appeared back in episode 2 of the revival's second season,...

Frasier Crane appears to have found a potential love interest in the Frasier reboot. Season 2 of the revival series will see Kelsey Grammer reunite with a former co-star who catches the title character's eye.

According to Deadline, the Frasier reboot Season 2 cast has added Patricia Heaton, a two-time Emmy winner for her performances on Everyone Loves Raymond and a Daytime Emmy recipient for her Food Network show, Patricia Heaton Parties. She was also nominated for a Critics' Choice TV Award for starring in the sitcom The Middle. In Frasier, Heaton will portray Holly, a "down-to-earth, unpretentious, and openly mocking of overly-intellectual types. A Boston native who tends to bar at upscale restaurants and events, Holly is extraordinarily comfortable with both who and where she is in life, a quality that the always-climbing, always-reaching Frasier (Grammer) finds as alien as he does attractive."

It’s the Back to You reunion we’ve all been waiting for.

Patricia Heaton will reunite with former co-star Kelsey Grammer during Season 2 of Paramount+’s Frasier revival. According to our sister site Deadline, Heaton will play Holly, who is described as “down-to-earth, unpretentious and openly mocking of overly-intellectual types. A Boston native who tends bar at upscale restaurants and events, Holly is extraordinarily comfortable with both who and where she is in life, a quality that the always-climbing, always-reaching Frasier finds as alien as he does attractive.”

Exclusive: Patricia Heaton is returning to television — and to filming in front of a live studio audience — with a guest-starring arc in the second season of Paramount+ Frasier.

On the followup to the Emmy-winning comedy, she will play Holly who is down-to-earth, unpretentious, and openly mocking of overly-intellectual types. A Boston native who tends bar at upscale restaurants and events, Holly is extraordinarily comfortable with both who and where she is in life, a quality that the always-climbing, always-reaching Frasier (Grammer) finds as alien as he does attractive.

This marks a reunion for sitcom royalty Heaton and Grammer, who headlined the 2007 Fox multi-camera comedy Back to You, created by Modern Family‘s Steve Levitan and Christopher Lloyd. Grammer subsequently guest starred on Heaton’s CBS show Carol’s Second Act; with the Emmy-winning stars playing exes both times.

Heaton has won two Primetime Emmys for starring in the CBS multi-camera comedy...

Exclusive: 20th Century Studios has acquired an original feature pitch from Sarah Haskins and Emily Halpern (Booksmart), enlisting Gloria Sanchez to produce.

While plot specifics under wraps, the project is described as a mother-daughter comedy with two strong female roles.

On the film side, Haskins and Halpern most recently penned 80 for Brady, the comedy starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Rita Moreno and Sally Field, which Paramount released last year. They’re perhaps best known for scripting Booksmart, the BAFTA and WGA Award-nominated 2019 comedy directed by Olivia Wilde.

Creators of the CBS show Carol’s Second Act, starring Patricia Heaton, as well as the ABC sitcom Trophy Wife, the pair are currently under an overall deal in television at CBS Studios. Nominated for an Emmy for their work on staff of ABC’s Black-ish, they’ve also written on series like Good Girls (NBC), The Mayor (ABC) and Imaginary Mary (ABC), to name a few.

Mending the Line is a solid study of Ptsd and guilt with strong performances from Brian Cox, Sinqua Walls, Wes Studi, and others. Beautiful cinematography in Montana sets a warm and relaxing mood for the film. While a bit predictable, the film's deep moments and universal themes make it stand out from other melodramas. Its use of fly fishing, too, creates a great allegory.

It’s a bit of a surreal head-scratcher watching the first hour of director Joshua Caldwell’s Mending the Line, mostly because of Brian Cox. That’s not a bad thing at all, and undoubtedly, Cox’s presence works in this film’s favor. But the more you find yourself engaged in this endearing film, you realize several things: Sure, Cox is a sublime actor, but my oh my… it’s hard to shake off Logan Roy, the steely corporate giant Cox brought to life on HBO’s Succession,...

Exclusive: Thomas Lennon (Reno 911!), Chelsea Frei (The Moodys), and Larry Joe Campbell (The Orville) have been set for guest star roles in the forthcoming second season of Fox’s popular workplace comedy Animal Control, starring Joel McHale.

Others set to appear in S2 guest roles, as previously announced, include Ken Jeong, Sarah Chalke, and Krystal Smith.

Premiering last February, the show created by Bob Fisher, Rob Greenberg and Dan Sterling follows a group of local Animal Control workers whose lives are complicated by the fact that animals are simple, but humans are not. McHale plays Frank, an opinionated, eccentric Animal Control officer who may not have gone to college but is still the most well-read person in the room. A former cop, Frank tried to expose corruption in his department, but his efforts got him fired, which may explain why he’s so cynical and curmudgeonly. He has an almost superhuman ability to understand animals.

The day will soon arrive: 24 Hour Plays is coming to Los Angeles on Oct. 2.

Set to take place at the Hudson Theatres on Santa Monica Boulevard, the creative experiment finds collaborators putting their heads together to write, rehearse and perform new plays and musicals in a 24-hour time span. The one-night only fundraiser will serve as a benefit for the Entertainment Community Fund, a nonprofit that supports entertainment industry workers all year long and one that has ramped up activity amid Hollywood’s dual strikes.

Actors confirmed to participate in the L.A. show include Clark Gregg (The Avengers), Sasheer Zamata (Saturday Night Live), Shannon Purser (Stranger Things), Olivia Holt (Kickin’ It), Drew Tarver (The Other Two), Daryl Sabara (Sky Kids), Jessica Rothe (Happy Death Day), Vico Ortiz (Our Flag Means Death), Francesca Reale (Stranger Things), Nicole Kang (Batwoman), Lewis Pullman (Top Gun: Maverick), Midori Francis (Grey’s Anatomy), Nico Greetham...

Described as being “about mother-daughter relationships”, The Beldham sees Heaton taking on the role of Sadie, a fierce caregiver determined to protect her family from a monstrous presence that threatens to tear them all apart.

CBS is looking to Ashley Tisdale for its next comedy hit.

The network has put into development the single-camera comedy Brutally Honest, set to star Tisdale.

The comedy, which is loosely inspired by Tisdale’s life, explores how having a baby can ruin, save, change, destroy and inspire your marriage…all before lunch.

Sarah Haskins and Emily Halpern, the duo behind ABC’s critically praised comedy Trophy Wife and 2019 feature Booksmart, are set to pen the script for the CBS Studios-produced project. Tisdale will also serve as an exec producer on Brutally Honest.

While Better Call Saul might be over, series star Bob Odenkirk has another project at AMC in the works. The new dramedy series Straight Man, which was ordered to series back in April of this year, has announced four new cast members joining the series alongside Odenkirk. The new cast members are American Housewife alum Diedrich Bader, Sara Amini (Future Man), Cedric Yarbrough (Carol’s Second Act), and Suzanne Cryer (Silicon Valley), all of whom are set to feature as series regulars alongside previously mentioned stars Odenkirk, fellow AMC alum Mireille Enos (The Killing) and Olivia Scott Welch (Panic).

Exclusive: American Housewife alum Diedrich Bader, Sara Amini (Future Man), Cedric Yarbrough (Carol’s Second Act) and Suzanne Cryer (Silicon Valley) are set as series regulars opposite Bob Odenkirk, Mireille Enos and Olivia Scott Welch in Straight Man, AMC’s series adaptation of Richard Russo’s novel, from former The Killing writer-producer Aaron Zelman and The Office alum Paul Lieberstein.

In the dramedy, from TriStar TV, William Henry Devereaux Jr. (Odenkirk) is the unlikely and reluctant chairman of the English department in an underfunded college in the Pennsylvania rust belt. His discontent is rooted in unresolved issues with his father, a mediocre and entitled student body, and in the fact that his department is more savagely divided than the Balkans.

Bader will play Tony Conigula, a philosophy professor at Railton and Hank’s closest friend. After the failure of his first marriage, Tony has fully committed to the life of a Bachelor.

The WGA West will host a panel discussion on April 30 with film and TV writers from Ukraine, whose lives and careers have been upended by the Russian invasion.

“They will discuss their work and their lives since the invasion,” the guild said in a communique to members, “as well as give their perspective on how the Revolution of Dignity that began in 2013 has transformed the entertainment industry of this former Soviet republic.”

Panelists for the discussion, which is open to guild members and a guest, include:

Natalya Vorozhbyt, whose Bad Roads was Ukraine’s Oscar entry for 2022 and Catching Kaidash, one of Ukraine’s highest-rated series in 2020. Olena Pshenychna, whose Lusia is a Ukrainian adaptation of Carol’s Second Act. Volodymyr Nagorny, whose Dzidzio Kontrabas is an award-winning comedy film. Larysa Martseva (Routes of Destiny).

The discussion will be co-moderated by WGA West board member Dailyn Rodriguez and WGA West member Adam Sigel.

Spoiler Warning: This story discusses specific events in Season 2, Episode 4 of “Star Trek: Picard,” currently streaming on Paramount Plus.

As even casual fans of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” know, one of the beloved sci-fi show’s most meaningful relationships was between Capt. Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the proprietor of the main bar on the U.S.S. Enterprise, Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg). The characters mean so much to each other that Stewart moved Goldberg to tears when he invited her to join him on the “Tng” sequel series “Star Trek: Picard” while appearing on an episode of “The View” in January 2020.

The Season 2 premiere of “Picard” wastes little time in bringing Goldberg back as Guinan, with a lovely scene in which the two old friends throw back some strong hooch in Guinan’s bar on Earth, as she attempts to soothe Picard’s wounded psyche.

Alec Baldwin and Kelsey Grammer’s comedy will not be moving forward at ABC and is being shopped elsewhere. The straight-to-series order, which also had Alec Mapa attached to star, was scrapped after network executives saw the completed pilot episode, directed by James Burrows. ABC had been lining up the half-hour series for the 2021-22 season.

Per the logline, the untitled multi-camera series revolves around three men who were roommates in their 20s until their warring egos drove them apart. Now, the trio is reuniting decades later for one more run at the lives they’ve always wanted.

The series will mark Baldwin’s first major broadcast role since “30 Rock.” Grammer, most known for his roles in “Frasier” and “Cheers,” had most recently appeared in an episode of the CBS comedy “Carol’s Second Act,” after starring in the 2019 Fox legal drama “Proven Innocent,” which was canceled after only a single season.

Exclusive: Jean-Luc Bilodeau, who lead Carol’s Second Act opposite Patricia Heaton, has signed with APA.

Bilodeau, who appeared in the CBS comedy as Dr. Daniel Kutcher, also starred in Freeform’s Baby Daddy for six seasons. The actor’s additional credits include a series regular role on ABC Family’s Kyle Xy and a guest star spot on Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce. He has also acted in Casa Vita, All in Time, Expecting Amish and Lionsgate’s Lol.

He will still be repped by Alchemy Entertainment, Cue Management, and Goodman Genow.

So far on “The Masked Dancer,” three of the judges have correctly guessed the identities of some of the costumed dancers. Ken Jeong named Bill Nye as Ice Cube, Brian Austin Green predicted Elizabeth Smart as Moth and Paula Abdul went with Brian McKnight as Cricket.

Exclusive: Jacob Laval has landed the title role in The Unbreakable Boy, joining previously announced star Zachary Levi in the inspiration drama from Kingdom Story Company and Lionsgate. Meghann Fahy, Peter Facinelli, Drew Powell, Pilot Bunch, and Emmy winner Patricia Heaton are also set to co-star in the film which was written and will be directed by Jon Gunn.

The film is based on the novel The Unbreakable Boy: A Father’s Fear, a Son’s Courage, and a Story of Unconditional Love by Scott M. LeRette. It centers around Austin (Laval), born with both a rare brittle-bone disease and autism. What makes Austin truly unique is his joyous, funny, life-affirming worldview that transforms and unites everyone around him – especially his dad, Scott (Levi), who changes his life as he comes to see Austin not as the symbol of something broken, but the triumph of an indestructible spirit.

Two legends of the broadcast comedy game are teaming for a new venture.

Alec Baldwin and Kelsey Grammer are set to star in an as-yet-untitled show which has been handed a straight-to-series order at ABC.

The multi-cam comedy in question revolves around three men who were roommates in their twenties until their warring egos drove them apart. Now, the trio are reuniting decades later for one more run at the lives they’ve always wanted. Baldwin and Grammer will play two of the aforementioned roommates, with the third cast member to be announced at a later date. ABC is lining up the show for the 2021-22 season.

20th Television is the studio behind the project, which hails from “Modern Family” co-creator Chris Lloyd and executive producer Vali Chandrasekaran. The pair will serve as writers and executive producers alongside Baldwin and Grammer.

The series marks Baldwin’s first major broadcast role since “30 Rock.

CBS will begin rolling out its scripted shows in November.

The Eye network will debut ten shows during the first three weeks of November -- nine returning series and one new addition to its roster.

Among the premieres are the NCIS trio, B Positive, Young Sheldon, Mom, and S.W.A.T.

The Neighborhood, Bob Hearts Abishola, and All Rise are also set to return.

The Equalizer, as well as returning dramas Blue Bloods, Bull, Evil, FBI, FBI: Most Wanted, MacGyver, Magnum P.I., and Seal Team, and comedy, The Unicorn, are still awaiting word on when they will return.

The good news is that the series with confirmed premiere dates will launch with several episodes banked, allowing them to air without breaks, initially.

CBS previously announced its intention to air a business-as-usual fall sked earlier this year, but with uncertainty surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, there was no telling whether that would be possible.

CBS‘ fall schedule is looking a lot more like a fall schedule, with the setting of premiere dates for nine of 18 returning shows that now have full episodes in the can — including the well-watched NCIS and its many offspring, plus Young Sheldon and the suddenly Anna Faris-less Mom.

Also scoring a premiere date is the freshman comedy B Positive, starring Thomas Middleditch (Silicon Valley) and Annaleigh Ashford (Masters of Sex).
