lorence Pugh is reportedly ready to tie the knot with Finn Cole, her co-star from Peaky Blinders. According to The Sun on August 3, the Thunderbolts* star and the British actor, both 29, have been dating for nearly a year and are now engaged.

The couple first sparked romance rumors back in September 2024 when they were seen together at an afterparty in East London.

“Finn and Florence have been in a bubble getting to know each other away from the spotlight,” a source told The Sun. “They are both putting everything into their careers but have found something special between them.”

Florence Pugh has spoken openly about her love life in the past year. In a cover interview for Harper’s Bazaar UK in May, she said she was in love and admitted, “I’m more sympathetic to the people who are in love with me, because it’s not easy! I...

Florence Pugh may be walking down the aisle soon, as reports claim the Oscar-nominated actress is engaged to fellow actor Finn Cole. According to The Sun, the two 29-year-old stars are preparing for marriage after keeping their relationship mostly private for nearly a year.

Rumors about Pugh and Cole first began in September 2024, when they were spotted together at an afterparty in East London.

Since then, they have kept their romance quiet, focusing on their careers while spending time away from the spotlight.

A source told The Sun, “Finn and Florence have been in a bubble getting to know each other away from the spotlight. They are both putting everything into their careers but have found something special between them.”

Earlier this year, Pugh opened up about her love life during her cover story with Harper’s Bazaar UK for its May issue. Without naming her partner, she confirmed she was in a relationship,...

When one character likes another on a sitcom, you can pretty much count on them eventually getting together. From Niles and Daphne on Frasier, to Jim and Pam on The Office, to Fry and Leela on Futurama, that unrequited love does, at some point, get requited.

There are, however, some funny examples of unrequited romances that actually stay that way — one main character loves another from a distance, and the audience knows it’s utterly hopeless.

Here are five such examples of entirely one-sided sitcom romances…

1 Milhouse and Lisa on ‘The Simpsons’

Milhouse has always been a hopeless romantic, with an emphasis on “hopeless.” From the earliest days of The Simpsons, Milhouse (Pamela Hayden) has harbored a crush on his best friend’s little sister Lisa (Yeardley Smith), and despite both of them being huge nerds, Lisa just doesn’t feel the same way about him. As she explains in “Lisa’s Date with Density,...

Florence Pugh is reportedly engaged to Peaky Blinders star after dating him for a year (via The Sun). Pugh was romantically linked to Finn Cole, who played Michael Gray in the British crime drama, since September last year. A source told the outlet, “Finn and Florence have been in a bubble getting to know each other away from the spotlight.”

They further shared, “They are both putting everything into their careers but have found something special between them.” They are yet to confirm their relationship publicly. Pugh and Cole had been friends for years before they started dating.

They were seen at the afterparty of the London premiere of The Perfect Couple last September. Later, Cole appeared at the Thunderbolts* premiere to support Pugh. While they did not walk the red carpet together, they appeared in a group photo with her friends and family (posted by @florencepugh/Ig). They were...

"Oh, Hi!" starts off like a rom-com, but also like a horror movie. We meet Iris (Molly Gordon) and her boyfriend Isaac (Logan Lerman) as they spend a nice weekend up in a secluded house out of the city, and during that first day, everything seems suspiciously perfect. Indeed, Iris and Isaac seem to be getting along a little too well, and we know this wouldn't be much of a movie if nothing went wrong.

Finally, the penny drops: While Isaac is handcuffed to a bed post-coitus, he reveals that he's not ready for a relationship. Iris is baffled, because it sure seemed like she and Isaac were already in a relationship. But Isaac doesn't see it this way. Despite inviting her for a weekend getaway upstate and being romantic with her throughout the whole first act, he doesn't see Iris as his girlfriend and has zero interest in letting that happen.

Natalie Portman is one of my favorite actresses. From my introduction to her in the ‘Star Wars’ prequel series as the independent and kind Padmé Amidala, to my intense admiration of her in career-making roles in ‘Black Swan’ and ‘Jackie,’ Portman has been a consistently reliable and always experimental actress. Portman is the rare kind of actress who has defied nearly every transposed Hollywood mold from childhood and persisted to become one of its most celebrated and sought-after stars. With a career spanning three decades, Portman has gracefully grown from a precocious young talent into a stunning actress, woman, activist, award-winner, and scholar. Her choices have been anything but easy or predictable. Things to do: Subscribe to The Hollywood Insider’s YouTube Channel, by clicking here.

One of the most common tropes in modern television is that of the medical dramedy, and very few can match the success and impact of the USA Network's Scrubs. It is, however, expected that other shows could attempt to replace it in the subconscious of the audience and that is what Fox's upcoming medical comedy, Best Medicine, hopes to achieve. The upcoming show follows a doctor from Boston, who moves to a small practice in an east coast fishing village where he vacationed as a child. According to Variety, the series has added the exciting talent of Cree Chiccino, also known as Cree, to its cast. The Turtles All The Way Down star will play the role of Elaine Denham, a character described as "adorable, energetic, and ambitious, with enormous dreams," who harbors ambitions of becoming a YouTube star.

The show is set to premiere during the 2025-26 broadcast season,...

It’s quite often when a certain character in a TV or movie steals the show despite limited screen time, leaving the audience craving for more of them. These characters are often categorized as the best friend, oddball coworker, or even an eccentric neighbour, and they are the ones to land most unexpected laughs. One such intriguing character has been Kevin Sussman’s Stuart Bloom from the sitcom The Big Bang Theory, and his rise from recurring character to leading his own spinoff.

Many sitcoms are filled with such scene-stealing characters who deserve more recognition, and maybe even their own show. Here is a look at the top 10 most underrated sitcom actors who, like Sussman, have what it takes to lead a spinoff and really hog the spotlight.

How does the 118 move on after Bobby's (Peter Krause) devastating death? 9-1-1 viewers will find out when the show returns this fall. ABC has announced that the highly anticipated ninth season of the drama series will premiere on Thursday, October 16, at 8 p.m. on the network. The show maintains the day and airtime that it has occupied since its move to ABC from Fox. The only development is that it won't be the only show in the 9-1-1 universe on ABC for much longer. The same night sees the premiere of 9-1-1: Nashville, a new series inspired by the flagship series. Closing the night at 10 p.m. is an all-new season of the long-running medical drama, Grey's Anatomy.

9-1-1 Season 9 will deal with a lot, but none more important than the aftermath of the death of Captain Bobby Nash. For the first time in the show's history, a main character died.

The doctors are in. Fifteen years after its series finale, Scrubs is scrubbing back into ABC's primetime lineup for the 2025-26 season, with at least three of its original stars set to return. Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke have confirmed their involvement in the revival, with series creator Bill Lawrence leading the behind the scenes creative team.

"Scrubs means so very much to me," the Ted Lasso and Shrinking exec producer said in a statement. "So excited for the chance to get the band back together."

Original series creator Bill Lawrence emphasized that the Scrubs reboot begins and ends with Jd and Turk, saying, "‘Scrubs’ means so very much to me.

Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke are also set to return to reprise their roles. All three actors are serving as executive producers for the revival as well.

Scrubs is officially scrubbing back in.

A long-discussed revival of the 2000s comedy series has landed a series order from ABC, where it’s been in development since December 2024 — though series creator Bill Lawrence and members of the cast have talked about reuniting for years before that. Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke, who starred in the original version of the show, have signed on to join series lead Zach Braff in the revival. All three will also be executive producers on the show, which is set to premiere in the 2025-26 season.

“The series centers on Martin Best (Charles), a brilliant surgeon who abruptly leaves his illustrious career in Boston to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent summers as a child. Unfortunately, Martin’s blunt and borderline rude bedside manner rubs the quirky, needy locals the wrong way, especially local school teacher Louisa Glasson (Spencer), however tenacity is the creed of everyone in their small village, and the people who live there may be exactly what the doctor ordered.”

It’s pilot season at ABC. The broadcast network, which has been leaning into its “second cycle” strategy involving off-cycle pilot orders targeting midseason, picked up its first 2025 pilot, Rj Decker, in May, with Scott Speedman recently cast as the lead. It may soon be joined by another crime drama pilot led by a TV star in his 40s-50s, The Rookie North.

The spinoff, from The Rookie creator Alexi Hawley, has been gaining momentum for a pilot order, which would come once the lead is cast. A handful of known actors have already been approached for the role, I hear.

The Rookie North is one of several projects in serious pilot consideration at ABC, along with the long-gestating Scrubs reboot, and two family comedies, the Rachel Bloom starrer Do You Want Kids?, which features a couple with and without a baby, and Mittens, which revolves around a neighborhood cat.

So, we're getting a "Scrubs" revival. It's frustrating, because I'm a huge fan of Bill Lawrence's medical comedy that originally ran from 2001 to 2010 on NBC — and, for the last year of its existence in that form, ABC. Led by Zach Braff as Dr. John "J.D." Dorian, the show was funny, shockingly emotional, and surprisingly medically accurate, and its main cast of characters — Donald Faison's cocksure surgeon (and J.D.'s bestie) Dr. Chris Turk, Judy Reyes' tough but big-hearted nurse Carla Espinosa, Sarah Chalke's neurotic but brilliant Dr. Elliot Reid, and the stubborn and often enraged doctor who serves as J.D.'s unwilling mentor, Dr. Perry Cox, played by John C. McGinley — are uniformly excellent.

All of this sounds like it could add up to a promising reboot of the series, but I have my doubts, and it's because of Lawrence's recent comments on the forthcoming...

Mandy Moore has been married and divorced, and that only covers part of her relationship highs and lows.

Rocketing to fame in the late ’90s as a singer, most know her as a successful actress.

But her dating and married life have had some monumental ups and downs.

Here is Moore’s relationship history explained, and where things stand today.

For those who remember, Mandy Moore’s most infamous romance was likely with Vilmer Valderrama.

She and the That ’70s Show alum dated from 2000 until 2002, very early into her fame.

Talking about your ex like that is gross!

Bill Lawrence recently offered some insight into the upcoming Scrubsrevival series. According to the creator of the flagship show, real-life changes in the medical field have influenced the new series.

Speaking to TV Line, Lawrence touched on the series' divisive ninth season while confirming that the upcoming Scrubs revival is very much about the original leading duo of Jd and Turk. "I hate the narrative, like, 'Oh, the ninth year sucked.' No, it didn't," he said. "It's sour grapes, whatever, I'm so lucky to have done it. I didn't get to work on [that season] as much, but that writing staff did a great job."

Lawerence went on to praise the actors who joined the series in its ninth season. "I think Kerry Bishé, Michael Mosley, Eliza Coupe and Dave Franco have all gone on to have great careers because they were really good," he explained. "If it had been a...

Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence has given a positive update on the planned revival show, following the divisive ninth and final season. Scrubs was considered one of the most inventive and off-beat sitcoms of the 2000s, and, after seemingly concluding with Scrubs season 8, the show was renewed for Scrubs season 9, which focused on a largely new cast, with star Zach Braff appearing as Jd in six episodes. But the revival show should seek to reclaim its identity, by focusing on the core cast once again.

Per TV Line, Lawrence comes out in defense of Scrubs season 9, which was widely panned by critics and audiences, insisting that he was lucky to have made it, and that those involved have gone on to have successful careers. He also opined that had the season been a spinoff, it would not have been judged as harshly, but that he understood why it wasn't. He concludes...

There’s some terrific news circulating out there for those living with high expectations and anticipation of the hopeful Scrubs reboot. According to TV Line, the project’s executive producer, Bill Lawrence, who created the original series, plans to focus the follow-up on everyone’s favorite hospital buddies — Zach Braff’s Jd and Donald Faison’s Turk. His comments come after addressing the ninth season of the series that started it all, which only included a handful of original cast members, introducing plenty of new faces to the medical team.

Speaking about the pushback all those involved with the show’s final season received and explaining how it informed their decisions when looking forward to the next installment, Lawrence said,

“I hate the narrative, like, ‘Oh, the ninth year sucked.’ No, it didn’t. It’s sour grapes, whatever, I’m so lucky to have done it. I didn’t...

The 2009 sitcom "Cougar Town" was never a massive ratings hit; it was constantly on the verge of cancellation, with ABC pulling the cord after season 3 and TBS picking up and then pulling the cord again in season 6. The show starred Courteney Cox of "Friends" fame as main character Jules, but it never came anywhere close to being the cultural phenomenon that "Friends' was. Still, it was a fun watch that offered a lot of fun cameos for "Friends" fans to enjoy. 

For instance, halfway through season 1 Lisa Kudrow shows up as Jules' mean dermatologist. In the season 2 premiere Jennifer Aniston stops by to play Jules' therapist, and this character isn't that nice either. Finally there came Matthew Perry in season 5, who asks Jules out on a date after she crashes into his car; the storyline was extra sweet considering Perry and Cox had played lovers on "Friends" for its final five seasons.

As therapist Jimmy Laird might tell one of his patients, "All good things come to those who wait."

Well, Shrinking has been waiting patiently ... for some major Emmy love. Apple TV+'s hit comedy series only received a pair of nominations for its first season in 2023: Best Comedy Actor for Jason Segel (as Jimmy) and Best Comedy Supporting Actress for Jessica Williams (as Gaby). That's right — even Hollywood heavyweight Harrison Ford (as Paul) was snubbed. But for Season 2, Gold Derby is predicting that Shrinking will be supersized at the 2025 Emmys.

Sometimes it takes a year for Television Academy members to discover a project, particularly in this era of Peak TV when there are so many shows vying for attention. Just look at historic examples like Will & Grace, Fleabag, and Succession — all were virtually ignored for their first at bats, but then exploded with noms and wins for their second cycles.

The will-they-or-won’t-they relationship has been around long before sitcoms were even a thing, and though it can prove fruitful comedically, it also has its many pitfalls. If the characters don’t end up together, the audience isn’t satisfied (like The Wonder Years), but if they do end up together, the show loses a big avenue for comedy (like Frasier), and often a dramatic tension. As a result, many sitcoms try to drag out the will-they-or-won’t-they dynamic for as long as possible, which can end up being so tiresome that most viewers are ready for a won’t they.

Here are four shows that tried to keep their will-they-or-won’t-they relationships going way beyond their expiration date…

Ross’ feelings for Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) are introduced in the very first episode of Friends, but they don’t get together until well into Season Two.

The reboot of Scrubs hasn't officially been confirmed yet, but show creator Bill Lawrence and star Zach Braff, who played John "Jd" Dorian, are both very excited about it. They also have some very interesting ideas for the characters that will likely surprise viewers.

TVLine reported that Lawrence and Braff opened up about the Scrubs reboot during the Atx TV Festival. Lawrence explained that they had to take into account that the actors are older, and that means their characters will be less immature. “It’s fun to talk to [the fans] about it because part of the burden is Zach and Donald [Faison] were going, ‘Eaaaaaagle!’ Those guys are 50 now!” he said. “So we have to figure out what that looks like.”

Braff agreed that there are difficulties that have come with revisiting the project. “When Bill and I shoot the s**t about it, [we ask ourselves] how do you still have the spirit...

Exclusive: UTA has inked actor, director, and writer Jake Allyn for representation in all areas.

The news follows Allyn completing principal photography on his upcoming true-life drama Clean Hands, which he wrote and directed, starring Zach Braff and Esther McGregor alongside Abigail Spencer, Holt McCallany, and Lucas Till.

Set in Hagerstown, Maryland—a Baltimore suburb situated along the notorious “Heroin Highway”—Clean Hands examines the American drug crisis through the story of a father and daughter on opposite sides of the law. The film is based on the true story of Kevin Simmers (Braff), a police officer turned recovery advocate, and his daughter Brooke (McGregor).

Clean Hands marks Allyn’s second feature behind the camera. He made his directorial debut with Ride, which he also wrote and starred in. The film, a poignant exploration of amateur rodeo and addiction in the Heartland, follows three generations of bull riders, and was notably filmed at live rodeos.

Zach Braff has teased new information regarding his Scrubs character, J.D., as the reboot begins development. Braff, who was recently confirmed to be returning for the Scrubs reboot, played Dr. John "J.D." Dorian for the first 8 seasons of the show in its original run. After season 9 was greenlit, Braff briefly returned for 6 episodes before departing the show permanently prior to the Scrubs' official cancellation in 2010.

During an appearance at Atx TV Festival in Austin, TX, over the weekend, Braff stated that, while the tenets of his character and the soul of the show would remain, fans can expect to see a wiser, but potentially more beaten, version of J.D. As a veteran doctor, he has aged and changed after many years in the hospital floor. He also states that while other aspects of J.D. will remain intact, his approach will be different this time around, reflecting his new position in life.

There are few revival announcements that have captured the attention of a certain age group (millennials) more than that of the hopeful Scrubs sequel series. Since it was announced at the tail end of last year that the original project’s creator, Bill Lawrence, was on-board to get back to the stories at Sacred Heart Hospital, the ball has been rolling and things are looking incredibly promising. Just last month, series star, Zach Braff, announced his plans to reprise his role as J.D., and now, thanks to both Braff and Lawrence, we have an idea for the storyline.

TVLine reports that, while in attendance at the Atx TV Festival in Austin, Texas, the pair addressed a crowd, offering up where they planned on steering the next chapter, now 15 years from its finale. Revealing what he and Lawrence have up their sleeves, Braff said,

“When Bill and I shoot the s—t about it,...

ABC’s Scrubs revival will do more than just “play the hits.”

Kilgore, a Grammy and Tony Award nominee, will play firefighter Taylor, who also happens to be an incredible singer; Provost will play modern-day cowboy Ryan, also a firefighter; Feliz will play former trauma surgeon (and current adrenaline junkie) Roxie; and McVey will play a haunted bad boy who has since become a firefighter.

If you are looking to name someone the maestro of the modern television comedy, it would be hard to look past Bill Lawrence. The creator and showrunner behind some of the most acclaimed comedies of the 21st century, including Scrubs, Ted Lasso, and Shrinking, Lawrence has left an indelible mark on the television industry.

At the 2025 Atx TV Festival, in a panel lovingly called “Bill Lawrence & Friends,” Lawrence, along with some of the actors from his various shows — Zach Braff (Scrubs), Brett Goldstein, Phil Dunster (Ted Lasso), Josh Hopkins (Cougar Town), and Charly Clive — reflected on his past work and exciting things to come.

Bill Lawrence and Friends on Scrubs

Lawrence’s claim to fame was arguably as the creator of Scrubs, a fan-favorite sitcom set in the medical industry that ran from 2001 to 2010. It was recently announced that Braff would be reprising his role as the series’s protagonist,...

Before he landed his breakout role as gruff footballer Roy Kent on Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso, future two-time Emmy winner Brett Goldstein was already in Bill Lawrence’s orbit: In 2017, the Scrubs mastermind cast the British comedian opposite Donald Faison in Spaced Out, an NBC workplace sitcom that never saw the light of day.

On Saturday, I had the honor of moderating the Bill Lawrence & Friends panel at Atx TV Festival in Austin, Texas — a panel that also featured Zach Braff (Scrubs), Josh Hopkins (Cougar Town), Phil Dunster (Ted Lasso) and Charly Clive (who stars opposite Dunster and Steve Carell...
