First up, The Comeback is making, well, a comeback! Season 3 of the HBO comedy, starring Lisa Kudrow, is expanding its cast with some surprising additions. Among them is Julian Stern, Kudrow’s real-life son, making his television debut. Talk about keeping it in the family! Joining him are Abbi Jacobson and John Early, promising fresh dynamics for the show. Production is already underway, and fans are buzzing with anticipation. But here’s the question: Will Julian’s debut live up to the legacy of his mom’s iconic career? Only time will tell.
Switching gears, ABC’s Scrubs revival is bringing back the laughs—and then some. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Vanessa Bayer and Joel Kim Booster have joined the cast, alongside original stars Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke. Judy Reyes and John C. McGinley will also return as guest stars. But here’s where it gets tricky: Can the revival recapture the magic of the original series, or will it fall flat? Let’s hope the new additions bring a fresh twist without losing the heart of the show.
In a move that’s sure to spark debate, Kim Kardashian is producing a docuseries about Elizabeth Taylor, titled Elizabeth Taylor: Rebel Superstar. Premiering on Fox Nation on October 6, the three-part series includes the first-ever filmed interview with Taylor’s son, Chris Wilding, and an appearance by Kardashian herself, who conducted Taylor’s final interview in 2011. But here’s the controversial part: Is Kardashian the right person to tell Taylor’s story, or is this just a publicity stunt? Share your thoughts in the comments—this one’s bound to divide opinions.
And finally, Adam Driver and Anne Hathaway are teaming up for Ron Howard’s new drama, Alone at Dawn. Based on the book by Dan Schilling and Lori Longfritz, the Amazon MGM Studios film tells the story of Afghan War hero John Chapman, who sacrificed his life to save 23 fellow soldiers, and the intelligence officer who fights to secure him the Medal of Honor years later. With such a powerful story and A-list talent, expectations are sky-high. But here’s the question: Can Hollywood do justice to Chapman’s heroism, or will it get lost in the glitz of a big-budget production?
