Streaming is ephemeral. This is something TV fans realized in an abstract way about four years ago, when a boom of new streaming services led to more shows and movies playing licensing musical chairs. A documentary you like could be on Netflix or Hulu one month, only to disappear the next, later emerging on Max, Disney+, or somewhere else entirely. Tools like JustWatch, which keeps track of what's streaming where at any given moment, have become invaluable in recent years: It's simply too much for any one person to remember.

Despite the quickly normalized rotating catalogs, an unspoken social contract -- a promise that anything that a streamer boasted was "original and exclusive" would stay put -- still existed between streamers and subscribers until around 2022. Streamers may have quietly dumped some titles before this, but the practice made national news when Warner Bros. Discovery scrapped a reportedly nearly-completed movie and...

Exclusive: Saturday Night Live alum Chris Parnell has signed with Buchwald for representation.

Parnell is also known for his standout role as Dr. Leo Spaceman on seven seasons of NBC’s Emmy Award-winning 30 Rock. In addition, Parnell starred on three seasons of ABC’s Suburgatory as Fred Shay and has appeared in numerous series including Grown-ish, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Black-ish, Inside Amy Schumer, Will and Grace, The Goldbergs and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

Parnell has an extensive voiceover career that includes 13 seasons as Cyril Figgis on Archer, as well as Jerry on Rick and Morty, Mr. Peabody on The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show, Snoot on The Dawn of the Croods, Migs on Elena of Avalor and various characters on Family Guy and American Dad.

Parnell can also be seen on Netflix in the film Senior Year opposite Rebel Wilson and Alicia Silverstone, and on Disney+ in Chip ‘N Dale: Rescue Rangers.

The 2014 Mr. Peabody & Sherman is a modern adaptation of the famed segment from The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends and stars a voice cast of well-known actors. Like the animated show, Mr. Peabody & Sherman follows Mr. Peabody, an anthropomorphic genius dog, and his adopted son, Sherman as they go back in time to learn about history. This time around, Mr. Peabody and Sherman must deal with time-jumping hijinks as well as their own complex father-son relationship. Mr. Peabody’s aptitude to be a father is called into question and a child protection agent is called to separate the pair, for good.

Like any good Mr. Peabody & Sherman story, the two historians travel through multiple periods in history and meet a variety of legendary and original figures from the past. The movie was directed by the prolific Rob Minkoff whose vaunted filmography includes directing The Lion King and Stuart Little.

New Girl is moving out of Netflix this April.

After nearly 10 years on the platform, all seven seasons of the Zooey Deschanel-starring Fox comedy are exiting the platform on Sunday.

But fans will soon be able to reunite with Deschanel’s Jess, Nick (Jake Johnson), Schmidt (Max Greenfield), Winston (Lamorne Morris) and more on April 17 when New Girl starts streaming on Hulu and Peacock.

Later in the month, Netflix subscribers will lose access to Alex Gibney’s Julian Assange documentary We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks and Bill Nye: Science Guy, which follows the beloved children’s television host as he takes on the anti-science movement, including those who deny climate change and evolution.

By the end of the month, several movies will leave Netflix, including Leap Year, Road to Perdition and action films Den of Thieves and Empire State.

And Edgar Wright’s 2010 movie version of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World...

It’s time to binge as much “New Girl” as possible on Netflix before the beloved Fox sitcom leaves the streaming service. It’s one of a handful of shows and movies due to leave Netflix this month. The binge-worthy TV series leaves Netflix on April 9, while the comedy series “The It Crowd” departs on April 25 and “Ash vs. Evil Dead” exits on April 28.

Movies due to leave Netflix in April include “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” and “Leap Year.” Check out the full list of what’s leaving Netflix below.

Jay Ward Productions, owners of beloved animated series including “Rocky & Bullwinkle” and “George of the Jungle,” have inked a wide-ranging deal with kids and family entertainment group WildBrain.

The deal covers distribution, production and licensing of Jay Ward Productions’ portfolio, which also includes “Mr. Peabody & Sherman,” “Dudley Do-Right,” “Super Chicken” and more.

Jay Ward is the legendary animator who created some of the most iconic characters of the 1950s and 60s. He died in 1989 and the rights in the works have since been managed by Jay Ward Productions, which is headed by Ward’s daughter Tiffany Ward while granddaughter Amber Ward is vice president.

As well as adding 788 episodes of Ward animations to its distribution library, including “The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle” and “Dudley Do-Right” the deal will see WildBrain and Jay Ward Productions creating “brand-new content” based on Ward’s work.
