Spoiler Alert: Details follow for Season 13, Episode 6 of “The Masked Singer,” “Grand Ole Opry Night,” which aired March 19 on Fox.

I don’t want to wait, for this episode to be over. I want to know right now who will it be… and indeed, it was “Dawson’s Creek” star James Van Der Beek. The Beek was the latest celebrity to be unmasked Wednesday on Fox’s hit music competition series, having performed as Griffin.

Van Der Beek was eliminated after singing John Denver’s “Take Me Home (Country Roads).” During the episode, he alluded to his recent colorectal cancer diagnosis: “Recently, we got some news that changed everything. It’s been a really tough year. But fortunately, we’ve been able to face this challenge together, in our home. I would not have gotten through all of this without them. They make me smile through the tough days and are...

For fans of good old-fashioned dysfunctional families, a fresh drama is drifting in. 

Written and executive produced by Kevin Williamson, The Waterfront is an upcoming drama about the Buckley family starring Holt McCallany and Maria Bello. With production underway on the series, we now know who else is coming on board because Netflix announced today that Melissa Benoist and Jake Weary have joined the cast, along with several other series regulars and guest stars.

Scream 7 started filming at the start of January, and we’ve seen some surprising reports about the slasher sequel as it has made its way through production – with the most surprising and strange news being that Matthew Lillard and Scott Foley, who played Ghostface killers who were killed off in Scream (1996) and Scream 3, respectively, and David Arquette, whose beloved character Dewey lost his life in Scream (2022), are all in the cast. During an appearance on Good Morning America, Foley admitted that, like many Scream fans, he isn’t sure how his return actually works.

Foley said, with thanks to Deadline for the transcription, “I don’t know how it works out. Spoiler alert! 25 years ago I was the killer in Scream 3 and he was brutally taken to town and killed. And now I’m back in Scream 7 and I’m not sure how it’s going to work.

When it began airing in March of 1997 on The WB, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was a show that delighted in throwing its audience for a loop, starting with the title. For those who had neither seen nor heard of the 1992 horror-comedy of the same name, the show was an unexpected blend of supernatural action and high-school angst. On one hand, we have the Slayer, a person with almost inexplicable power and strength whose job is to keep the forces of evil at bay. On the other hand, that Slayer is a teenage girl named Buffy Summers who seems like she would be more at home on a cheerleading squad than she is in patrolling local graveyards to take down any members of the undead. 

After moving to the seemingly quiet and pleasant town of Sunnydale, California, Buffy soon realizes that it's actually positioned on the edge of the Hellmouth, a...

James Van Der Beek has been diagnosed with colorectal cancer.

The veteran actor himself revealed as much via an interview with People Magazine.

“I have colorectal cancer. I’ve been privately dealing with this diagnosis and have been taking steps to resolve it, with the support of my incredible family,” the 47-year old said, adding:

“There’s reason for optimism, and I’m feeling good.”

Colorectal cancer — which starts in the colon or the rectum — is one of the most serious forms of this awful illness.

We aren’t privy to the details in Van Der Beek’s case, but the five-year survival rate is around 64 percent overall.

One of Netflix's biggest hit original series in recent years is "Outer Banks," which premiered in 2020 and ran for five seasons. Set in the scenic beach towns of North Carolina, the series blended coming-of-age drama, along with romance and action, elevated by its young, charismatic main cast. "Outer Banks" reinvigorated teen dramas and thrillers, but the genre has been a television staple for decades. With that in mind, there are countless shows like "Outer Banks" for fans looking to find the series' effective soap operatic stakes elsewhere.

From shows set in other picturesque locations around the country or featuring cool, stylish characters in a cycle of love and betrayal, there are plenty of teen dramas to watch. What links these series are young, impossibly beautiful main characters, often thrust into melodramatic storylines that grow increasingly ludicrous. For fans of the genre, they wouldn't have these teen and young adult shows any other way.

Scream 3's infamous Ghostface resoundingly met his maker at the hands of Neve Campbell and company in the classic 2000 film, so it came as a surprise to many horror fans when the news broke that Scott Foley would return for director Kevin Williamson’s Scream 7. In fact, Foley himself is as confused as the fandom is when it comes to how his character, Roman Bridger, will return from the dead.

Regardless, the Felicity and Scandal actor tried to coyly answer that burning question during a new interview while appearing on Good Morning America by saying:

"That's a great question, and I'm willing to take a poll here and someone can explain it to me, because I don't know how it works out. Yeah, my character, I was the — Spoiler Alert 25 years ago — I was the killer in 'Scream 3', and he was brutally taken to town and killed.

Scott Foley teased his return to the Scream franchise for the seventh installment despite his character’s death.

Foley’s first film credit was in 2000’s Scream 3 where he played the role of Roman Bridger, who turns out to be the serial killer and is killed off in the end. The actor returns for Scream VII and in an appearance on Good Morning America he teased his character’s return.

“I don’t know how it works out,” Foley said about returning to the franchise. “Spoiler alert! 25 years ago I was the killer in Scream 3 and he was brutally taken to town and killed. And now I’m back in Scream 7 and I’m not sure how it’s going to work.”

Foley said that reuniting with his former co-stars was “the best,” adding, “It’s so much fun and I got to see Neve [Campbell] again and David Arquette again.

Scream 7 is set to bring back several dead characters, including Scott Foley's Roman Bridger, much to the confusion of the fandom. Fortunately, Foley is just as confused as the fans over how his Scream 3 killer will return in the slasher sequel.

Foley opened up about his Scream return during a recent appearance on Good Morning America to promote his new role in Will Trent. "I'm willing to take a poll here and someone can explain it to me because I don't know how it works out," said Foley (via Entertainment Weekly). "Yeah, my character — spoiler alert — 25 years ago, I was the killer in Scream 3. He was brutally taken to town and killed. Now I'm back in Scream 7, and I'm not sure how it's going to work."

When Foley's Scream 7 casting was first announced, his role was being kept under wraps, leading to some initial...

Joshua Jackson was 15 years old when he first appeared in The Mighty Ducks film series. The actor recently recalled how co-star Emilio Estevez's advice helped him appreciate success as a celebrity.

Speaking on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Jackson said he was still "just a child" in 1992's The Mighty Ducks, one of that decade's feel-good sports comedies. "Emilio gave me a ton of great advice," he recalled. "I learned how to be on set from [him]." He noted one incident that would have led to a bad turn in his career, if Estevez hadn't intervened. In The Mighty Ducks, Jackson played Charlie Conway, a youth hockey team's hotshot rookie who learns the true meaning of winning by the end of the film.

Jackson said his behavior behind the scenes resembled his conceited character in the first movie. After filming a scene for the 1994 sequel, D2: The Mighty Ducks, he remembered...

Griffin made his debut on the March 5 episode of The Masked Singer Season 13 as a member of Group B. The mythical creature's first song on Fox's reality TV show was "Rewrite the Stars" by Zac Efron & Zendaya, and he had the four panelists guessing such famous names as Matthew Lillard, Freddie Prinze Jr., and David Arquette. In Week 2, he belted out "Disturbia" by Rihanna and they added Freddie Prinze Jr., Jason Segel, and Robert Pattinson to the list of potential celebs.

But who is Griffin? If you're looking for The Masked Singer spoilers and clues, you've come to the right place! Read on for everything to know about Griffin, including which famous celebrity we think is hiding underneath the mask.

Gold Derby's official guess for Griffin is ... James Van Der Beek! Don't believe us? Let's examine all of the clues so far, one by one:

The Masked Singer is back!

A new episode of season 13 of the hit Fox singing competition series aired on Wednesday night (March 12).

The show, which began in South Korea, features celebrities singing songs while wearing costumes and face masks concealing their identities until they’re eliminated. Throughout the season, the contestants provide clues to try and help the judges and fans figure out who is under the mask.

This season includes the new costumed character Detective Lucky Duck, who will help panelists “uncover who’s behind each mask.”

During the episode, Group B contestants Boogie Woogie, Griffin, Pearl, and Space Ranger gave their first performances of the season.

While on stage, Griffin performed “Disturbia” by Rihanna.

First Performance Clues:

- Holds up a sheriff’s badge.

- “School’s Out” bell rings.

When picking the next show to cover, I always ask myself: what’s something I used to watch that people either loved or completely forgot about—but should still love? This time, it’s Dark Angel. When I mentioned Dark Angel to someone, they immediately assumed I meant a different show. “No,” I said, “the one with Jessica Alba.” She was great in Idle Hands, but Dark Angel? That was something else. Honestly, I’m a little surprised I even watched it back then.

James Cameron—who needs no introduction—teamed up with Charles H. Eglee to make Dark Angel his first big project under his production company. Eglee, of course, is best known for Piranha 2… sure, he’s done other things, but for the sake of this episode, that’s the only credit that matters. The two cooked up Dark Angel while Cameron was, as always, on a quest...

Now that The Masked Singer has introduced us to the members of Season 13’s Group B, we’re ready to take a creek — sorry, a crack — at guessing one of their secret identities.

The Group B premiere revealed Bat to be Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay, and we’ve already expressed how obvious it is that Space Ranger is Flavor Flav (that voice is simply undeniable!), so let’s turn our attention to one of the more elusive contestants — Griffin.

Another season of The Masked Singer brings time for guessing. Group B in season 13 is packed with some great celebrities and clue packages, and we’re breaking one of them down right now. It’s all about Griffin.

The panelists think they have an idea of who is under the mask. Rita Ora couldn’t decide between Matthew Lilliard and Freddie Prinze Jr. due to the scary movie connection, while Jenny guessed David Arquette for a similar reason. The horror connection may be something, but there was a line in the clue package that gave me a clue.

Could Griffin by a Dawson’s Creek star?

The “School’s Out” clue certainly initially seems to connect to a Saved By the Bell star, and you may think Mark-Paul Gosselaar at first. To be honest, there are a couple of other clues that seem to connect to him, such as his fast...

John Wesley Shipp burst onto the daytime scene in 1980 as Dr. Kelly Nelson on Guiding Light, a role he would play until 1984. From there, he moved over to As the World Turns, where he played the villainous Douglas Cummings from 1985-1986. His character stalked Kim Hughes (Kathryn Hays), and he later kidnapped Kim and Frannie (Julianne Moore). He was murdered with a letter opener and Kim stood trial for his murder.

In 1986, Shipp won the Outstanding Supporting Actor award at the Daytime Emmys. In 1987, Shipp joined Santa Barbara briefly, as Martin Ellis, a role that would net him his second Daytime Emmy, this time in the Outstanding Guest Performer category. In 1992 Shipp saw his abusive character of Carter Jones appear both on All My Children & Loving. In his last soap role to date, John joined One Life to Live in 2010 as Eddie Ford, the abusive father of Robert...

The Batman villain Harley Quinn made her debut on the "Batman: The Animated Series" episodes "Joker's Favor", where she was voiced by actress Arleen Sorkin. The character was envisioned as a clown-like moll for the Joker, and was given a ditzy personality and a broad Noo Yawk accent. She proved to be so popular that she was eventually incorporated into Batman comic books, and soon grew to have titles of her own. Over the years, Harley Quinn has appeared in multiple TV shows and movies, most recently played in live-action by Lady Gaga in "Joker: Folie à Deux." 

Fun trivia: Harley Quinn was actually preceded by a very, very similar character called Prank (Corinne Bohrer), a clown-like moll to a very Joker-like villain named the Trickster (Mark Hamill) on a 1991 episode of "The Flash." Whether or not the makers of "Batman: The Animated Series" were aware of Prank is a matter of speculation.

It’s September, and her writers-assistant-turned-staff-writer is spearheading his first episode since he joined full time. Just a few moments ago, Okoro Carroll was stomping her feet on the ground along with the rest of her writers to send him some positive energy before his pitch. The room, which she doesn’t get to visit as much as she’d like to anymore, can be a bit “unhinged,” she’d warned.

The Vampire Diaries follows in the footsteps of many previous teen legacies. Scream and Dawson's Creek writer Kevin Williamson was the creative force behind the vampire romance, in tandem with his co-creator Julie Plec. The first few seasons of the series fire on all cylinders, combining horror, love, and high school drama. The Vampire Diaries lasted an impressive eight seasons and gave birth to two spin-offs, The Originals and Legacies, before the franchise ended officially.

The good years didn't last forever, sadly, and some plot points didn't measure up to the golden years of the show. Despite the dynamic chemistry between vampire brothers Damon and Stefan Salvatore and captivating performances from Candice King and Kat Graham as Caroline and Bonnie, respectively, not all characters measured up. Upon rewatch, many characters strike a nerve in the worst way possible.

For this Valentine's Day season, the new slasher movie Heart Eyes hit theaters a week before the holiday. This plot focuses on a masked killer who comes out on the day of love to stalk and murder happy couples. This seems like a cheesy but appropriate slasher concept for the romantic holiday that often doesn't have any movies associated with it that aren't rom-coms or dramas. Though there are a handful of horror movies that have a romantic subplot or theme, this is one of the only frightening movies dedicated to the holiday of love.

"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore," Dorothy famously stated in a movie quote considered the fourth greatest ever by the American Film Institute. No, Dorothy, you're not -- you're in Hollywood! With a population just shy of three million, the entire state of Kansas has less residents than New York City and Los Angeles, while it's just a hair above Chicago. Yet when it comes to the movies, "The Wheat State" punches far above its weight, with cinematic representation including Academy Award winners, blockbusters, and even films that have joined the hallowed ranks of the National Film Registry.

Movies really do seem like magic sometimes.

In 2023, a scene from an episode of Dawson’s Creek of James van der Beek throwing a basketball in Joshua Jackson’s face went viral after a Twitter user realized the ball appears to bounce from Jackson’s face into the camera and away into the distance. How did they do it? How could they get the angle just right and not damage the camera? Was it CGI? Two shots cut together? According to Jackson, it was sheer luck. It was also a painted beach ball, so that’s how the camera held up. As Jackson further pointed out,...

Ah, the classic high school series. With characters and storylines that attempt to relate to the average teenage experience, the best high school series makes an effort to connect with its audience. From the 90s cheese of Beverly Hills, 90210, and Dawson's Creek to the more broody The O.C. in the early 2000s, teen shows have dominated the screen for decades.

The strength of The CW has long been due to its teen programming. Gossip Girl, Riverdale, and The Vampire Diaries have been its more marketable assets because of how popular the romances are. The Vampire Diaries sprung from the mind of Dawson's Creek scribe Kevin Williamson and his writing partner, Julie Plec, and hit the ground running. Equal parts romance and horror, the vampire series was a smash success from the beginning. Lasting for eight seasons, the series gave birth to two spin-offs and a wide range of fans desperate to see who Elena Gilbert would choose at the end of it all.

Starring relatively unknown actors in a genre that seemed to be on its way out, The Vampire Diaries was an unabashed hit for The CW. Based on the L.J. Smith series of books by the same name, the supernatural romance aired in 2009, spinning its stars, Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley, into the spotlight. The Vampire Diaries came from the mind of Dawson's Creek and Scream writer Kevin Williamson, who teamed up with his creative partner Julie Plec. Williamson's history writing for teen dramas helped the series, making Elena Gilbert's struggle with grief and love for two vampire brothers a gripping tale of humanity.

The Vampire Diaries became so popular that the original series did not slow down for one moment. Even after Williamson retired from the series, more heartfelt stories kept cropping up. The spin-off The Originals follows Klaus Mikaelson's trials with his family in New Orleans, and the follow-up,...

Be they a comic book antihero, supernatural vigilante, troubled teen, or male ingenue in a daytime soap, nobody plays these characters quite like actor Jensen Ackles. The television star has enjoyed a career at the forefront of some of the most popular genre projects in TV history, thanks in large part to his hard-earned professional relationships with The CW and producer Eric Kripke.

Following 15 seasons of the fantasy adventure series "Supernatural" and a lauded season-long arc on the Amazon Prime Video comic book romp "The Boys," Ackles is on the precipice of yet another exciting chapter in his career. Before the upcoming releases of the fifth and final season of "The Boys," its highly-anticipated spin-off series, or the Derek Haas crime drama "Countdown," we're taking a look back at his most memorable films and television shows thus far -- ranking them by quality, impact on Ackles' career, and overall showcasing of his talent.

The best Chad Michael Murray movies and TV shows include a mix of young adult releases, and in recent years, more adult drama fare. Murray got his start as an actor after he graduated from high school and won a modeling scholarship, which helped him pick up an agent. He moved to California and quickly earned a role in the MTV drama series Undressed. This helped lead to his breakout role on The Gilmore Girls as Tristin DuGray.

After another recurring role in Dawson’s Creek, Murray’s popularity exploded when he grabbed one of the leading roles in One Tree Hill. This also led to several film roles, mostly in young adult movies like Freaky Friday and A Cinderella Story. He hasn’t slowed down since aging out of many of those young adult releases, earning some great roles in movies like Fruitvale Station and TV shows like Marvel’s Agent Carter and Sullivan’s Crossing.

The 1990s was a wonderful decade for television, introducing fans to some of the most popular sitcoms ever, many of which have spawned sequels and remakes today.

Networks like the CW, Freeform and Fox were once a treasure trove of teen TV, with slates packed with series like “The O.C.,” “Gossip Girl,” “Pretty Little Liars” and “90210.” But as younger audiences completely shun linear, these networks have largely abandoned teen programming.

Ratings for the CW and Freeform, two networks that used to be teen-centric, dropped 30% and 22%, respectively, from 2022 to 2023.

Today streaming is a haven for YA programs viewers once found on network TV. Prime Video tested the waters with series like “The Summer I Turned Pretty” while Netflix produced young audience movies like “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.” Now both streamers have bolstered their teen slates with Prime Video’s recent reboot of ‘90s cult classic “Cruel Intentions” and Netflix’s series “My Life With the Walter Boys,” “Heartstopper,” “Sex Education,” “Xo Kitty” and “Ginny and Georgia.”

A new image from Karate Kid: Legends brings together two iconic figures from the franchise. The 2025 sequel will unite two major characters from for the first time when the 2010 reboot's Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) seeks the help of longtime original character Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio) in order to train his protégé Li Fong (Ben Wang). The upcoming Karate Kid: Legends was directed by Jonathan Entwistle (I Am Not Okay With This) and also stars Joshua Jackson (Dawson's Creek), Sadie Stanley (The Goldbergs), Aramis Knight (Ms. Marvel), Qyatt Oleff (It), and Ming-Na Wen.

ScreenRant can now share an exclusive first-look image from Karate Kid: Legends. The image shows Daniel sparring with Li Fong while Mr. Han looks on in the background. Their training session is taking place on a rooftop overlooking the city,...

Wax On, Wax Off. For those of us who lived through the 1980s, The Karate Kid has been in our lives in one way or another. Even if you have never seen any of the films, you know what Wax On, Wax Off means. In 2018, we got to take a trip back to the All Valley Karate Tournament to see what Daniel Larusso and Johnny Lawrence were up to. The series Cobra Kai became a big hit on Netflix (after moving from YouTube Red), but with that series winding down, are we saying goodbye to our beloved characters? Not quite yet.

World’s Collide

Before Cobra Kai became a hit, they tried once again to get some juice out of the Karate Kid IP. Only this time without any previous characters. In 2010, a “remake” of The Karate Kid was made. They transported the action to China with a young Jaden Smith...

Joshua Jackson is “waging a one-man war” to greenlight a Broadway-themed episode for his hit ABC series “Doctor Odyssey.”

It’s not that Jackson, who executive produces and stars as Dr. Max Bankman, is particularly eager to sing — though he says coming up with little ditties has helped him learn the show’s complex medical jargon. Jackson is not really excited about dancing either: he and co-star Sean Teale (who plays nurse Tristan Silva) laugh, bemused, when the conversation during a special FYC screening of the show in Los Angeles turns to their dance-off (set to “Despacito”) in the pilot episode.

“We didn’t do a lot of dancing after that,” Jackson said, laughing. “I think they saw the dailies of me dancing and they thought, ‘That’s enough of that.’”

So why is Jackson so passionate about a Broadway episode? His reasoning: if you cast a veteran of the...

To mark the 10th anniversary of the “Mad Men” series finale, Jon Hamm will join the Atx TV Festival for the first time for a retrospective panel, Variety can exclusively announce. He will discuss his Emmy-winning performance of Don Draper, the series’ legacy and influence. Hamm portrayed the iconic protagonist for 92 episodes of the AMC series, which ran from 2007 to 2015. He reprised the role earlier this year for a cameo in “Unfrosted.”

The festival, set for May 29-June 1, will also feature the return of Patrick J. Adams and Sarah Rafferty, who will tape a live episode of SiriusXM’s “Sidebar: A Suits Watch Podcast.” The SiriusXM podcast chronicles the former co-stars as they watch “Suits” for the first time ever, looking back and interviewing fellow cast members. The series has had a big presence at Atx through the years and the pair reunited with other members of the cast at the 2024 festival.

Karate Kid: Legends has a significant advantage over any of the other installments in the Karate Kid franchise, but it will still have to fight hard to prove itself. The upcoming movie, which is expected to hit theaters in May 2025, is a highly anticipated sequel to both 1984's The Karate Kid and its 2010 remake. Though the semantics of how these two stories will come together is still unclear, the union of Ralph Macchio's Daniel Larusso and Jackie Chan's Mr. Han is undoubtedly promising. Still, these two actors and their respective characters aren't all Karate Kid: Legends has going for it over its predecessors.

The Karate Kid franchise got its first movie in 1984, featuring Macchio's Daniel Larusso in the titular role. Then came The Karate Kid Part 2 in 1986 and The Karate Kid Part 3 in 1989, both of which featured Macchio and Pat Morita as the leads. In 1994, Morita...

Joshua Jackson’s foray into dark drama was never by design. “It wasn’t like I sat down and was like, ‘I’m going to be heavy in my thirties,’” says the star of shows like The Affair, Dr. Death and Fatal Attraction. “Murder, adultery, drug addiction—I had the whole basket of bad things.” In Doctor Odyssey, Jackson leaves the darkness behind for blue skies and open waters in Ryan Murphy’s weekly leisure cruise that mixes cultural phenomena like Quackers (people obsessed with rubber ducks) with quirky medical mysteries. To top it off, Dr. Max Bankman and his colleagues quickly get enmeshed in the kind of intra-office intrigue that would have Hr departments quaking in their boots. Audiences are lapping it all up, and so is Jackson: “We have a pretty good time making it, so I’m glad you have a good time watching it.”
