At Netflix's third Upfront presentation, it was no secret that Netflix continues to deliver quality and variety in its series and films, which drives engagement and attention. Among the new series... - STAR SEARCH: Beyoncé. Britney Spears. Adam Sandler. Those are just a few of the global icons who appeared as total unknowns on Star Search during its original run from 1983 to 1995. And now, the legendary competition series is returning in a brand new, supercharged format for new audiences — live on Netflix, and ready to captivate both longtime fans and a whole new generation. This time around, the talent is bigger, the stakes are higher, and the format is more interactive than ever: Each week on Star Search, emerging performers in music, dance, comedy, and kids' acts will take the stage to compete for a shot at the spotlight. The competition unfolds over time, with eliminations raising the stakes and plenty of surprises along the way. It's part talent showcase, part high-stakes drama — and it's all live on Netflix. The reboot builds on the rich legacy of the show that helped launch the careers of a number of the industry's biggest names, including Dave Chappelle, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, and many more. After 20 years off the air, the show returns with all the nostalgia longtime fans have been waiting for—while pulling in a new generation with fresh faces and undeniable talent. Get ready to meet your next obsessions: the artists poised to take over your screens and playlists for years to come. The show was produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment (Rhythm + Flow, Primetime Emmys, American Music Awards, Super Bowl Halftime Show, Hollywood Squares), and executive producers Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, Madison Merritt, and Elaine Metaxas (for Jesse Collins Entertainment). The host, judges, and premiere date will be announced at a later time, so check back on Tudum for future updates. Casting is underway at the link below.

Channing Dungey, Chairman and CEO of the Warner Bros. Television Group and US Networks, announced programming plans and outlined a vision for the entertainment networks during the 2025 Upfront presentation for Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). Dungey, who assumed oversight of such brands as Discovery, Food Network, HGTV, Investigation Discovery, TBS, TNT, TLC, Adult Swim, OWN and others in January, shared her top priorities for the portfolio which are to create the next generation of culture-shaping programming, broaden collaboration with WBD's streaming platform HBO Max® to attract unique audiences, and enhance and extend the power of the group's premium brands. "Our strength lies in our ability to create shows that dominate the zeitgeist," said Dungey. "We produced six of the top 10 new unscripted series on cable last year, and we'll continue to push the boundaries of great storytelling to serve the dedicated fans of our signature franchises in bold new ways." Dungey announced several exciting new series for 2025/2026 during the presentation to advertisers at Madison Square Garden, including: Dungey also previewed TLC's upcoming 90 Day: Hunt for Love, the next spin-off in the 90 Day Fiancé juggernaut, and TNT's High Value Target (wt), a new scripted limited series about the interrogation of Saddam Hussein. She also confirmed that the first season of HBO Max® and Warner Bros. Television's breakout hit medical drama The Pitt will premiere on TNT in advance of the show's season two premiere on HBO Max®. These are among the many popular series that will return for new seasons: Food Network's Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking, HGTV's Ugliest House in America, and Adult Swim's Rick and Morty and My Adventures with Superman. Beyond television, Dungey highlighted the strong social footprint of the networks. She also underscored partnership opportunities with the Food Network Kitchen, at the HGTV Dream Home or HGTV Smart Home, at the TCM Film Festival, and with Adult Swim on the Green at San Diego Comic-Con. Here are a few upcoming new series: But the big story... WBD has announced that Max, the company's streaming platform, is returning to its original name, HBO Max, after two years. "This evolution has also been influenced by changing consumer needs, and the fact that no consumer today is saying they want more content, but most consumers are saying they want better content," Warners said in a presser. "With other services filling the more basic needs with volume, WBD has clearly distinguished itself through its quality and distinct stories, and no brand has done that better and more consistently over 50+ years than HBO. Returning the HBO brand into HBO Max will further drive the service forward and amplify the uniqueness that subscribers can expect from the offering. It is also a testament to WBD's willingness to keep boldly iterating its strategy and approach - leaning heavily on consumer data and insights - to best position itself for success." |

Veteran casting producer Luke Conklin, whose credits date back to 2002's "Dog Eat Dog" for NBC, died Monday at the age of around 47 or 48. Conklin's brother announced his death on Facebook, writing... Conklin was the head of casting for such productions as 2018's Match Game, 2017's Beat Shazam, and 2013's Food Fighters. He also worked as a producer on Let's Ask America. He was working as a supervising casting producer of Wheel of Fortune at the time of his death. Our friends at Reality Blurred also list among his credits The Bachelor, The BAchelorette, Flavor of Love, Beauty and the Geek, Are You Hot?, 1 vs. 100, and Minute to Win It. Those he worked with posted public tributes to him on social media. Casting director Erin Tomasello wrote... Casting director Ali Kaz wrote... "Some might call us competitors.. but it never felt like that. We are a close community and more importantly friends. Luke Conklin we love you and will keep things going in your honor. Well respected – loved – adored – and most dedicated to his family, his colleagues, sports and craft. We started our journey together.. and you certainly paved your own path forward. Gone too soon my friend." Casting director Stephanie Lewis wrote... "The world lost an amazing human today. An incredibly proud father and family man, a competitor to the core, and one of the greatest in the casting world. I spent 12 years working with Luke, and we worked well together – so well that I can't even count how many shows we actually did together. We inherently trusted and respected each other from the beginning. I will miss his advice, his humor, and his enthusiasm for always putting 100% into everything he did. Beyond being a boss and mentor though, he was a friend. Someone I could call at the drop of a hat and he would answer. I will miss him, and will never forget all the amazing times we shared. Thank you Luke for everything." |

Playtime In Danger |

The Strong National Museum of Play has learned two of its federal grants have been terminated and it's hoping private donors will step up to fill the gap. A promised $400,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities intended to help build a new exhibit exploring the history and cultural impact of gameshows, has been cut. "In that exhibit we're going to feature artifacts from game shows throughout history, we are the home of the national archive of game show history so, we're talking about set pieces from iconic shows like the Price is Right, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Let's Make a Deal," explains Lisa Feinstein, the Vice President for Strategic Partnerships at the Strong Museum of Play. A roughly $100,000 grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services has also been cancelled. That grant was set to catalog and preserve some of the other collections at the museum. "We feel that these are pivotal, critical programs and they are not all extras, these are things that our community needs and not just museums but libraries so, we would say if the government needs to tighten the purse strings, these aren't the programs that need to go," Feinstein says. The Strong reached out to its members and donors by email earlier this week to let folks know about the federal cuts and ask them to open their wallets to help make up for it. "The gifts that we've seen, the donations that we've seen in response to this email have come from all over the country and that says a lot about the Strong and its value as a community cornerstone," Feinstein says. |

Out Of Order, the comedy entertainment gameshow, is set to return for a third run on Comedy Central later this year, under new production company Bango Studios, TV Zone reports. Filming is due to commence in July. Hosted by Rosie Jones, Out of Order is a cheeky, riotous comedy gameshow that aims to prove who's the best at judging people. Are you always judging strangers on trains? Scolded by your friends for guessing how much people earn from what they wear? Well polish that judgey eye as Out of Order is the show for you. In a number of comical rounds, teams will judge 'Rosie's Regulars', a group of extraordinary, unapologetic and loveable members of the great British public, based on revealing categories like 'Who sends the most messages to their mum?', 'Who's had the most one-night stands?' and 'Who's ghosted the most people?'; putting them in order from least to most. In a twist, the final round will see the roles reversed as one of Rosie's Regulars judges Rosie and the celebrity teams to hopefully win a cash prize. Will they get it right? Or will they be Out of Order? Out of Order is now a Bango Studios production and returns later this year on Comedy Central. |

The NBA era on NBC is officially starting this fall, and we are getting a taste of what the network schedule will look like with professional basketball taking over its primetime, only announcing its fall schedule for the first six weeks of the season, through October, with some guidance on its November schedule plans. The October schedule features less than a third (31.8%) scripted programming — which could be the lowest ever for NBC — and one new series, the unscripted On Brand with Jimmy Fallon. "NBA is a huge priority for us, that is our biggest new show in the fall," Jeff Bader, President, Program Planning Strategy, NBCUniversal Entertainment, said during a pre-upfront press call Saturday. Not surprisingly, the entire NBC schedule is tailored around it, and there was a lot of tailoring to be done. "There's a three-part rollout to the fall schedule, given the NBA comes on in the middle of October," Steven Kern, SVP, Program Planning & Scheduling, NBCUniversal Entertainment, said on the same call. Here are the versions of the NBC schedule for the first two parts of the rollout in September and October, followed by analysis and information about Part 3 as well as details about the three (for now) official new 2025-26 series, On Brand, comedy The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, starring Tracy Morgan and executive produced by Tina Fey, and prehistoric nature docuseries Surviving Earth, which follows in the footsteps of this season's The Americas. THE SCHEDULE... NEW IN 2025-2026 Peacock announced new series greenlights including a third season of "House of Villains," hosted by Joel McHale, along with true crime documentaries "Gilgo Beach Killer: The House of Secrets" and "The Idaho Student Murders" as well as "Epic Ride: The Story of Universal Theme Parks" docuseries. These series accompany new seasons of breakout hits "Love Island USA" (June 3) and "Love Island Games" (late 2025); new series "Love Island: Beyond The Villa" (summer 2025) and hit reality sensation "Married At First Sight" debuts on the platform with season 19 later this year. Additionally, a new season of the Emmy Award-winning "The Traitors" is set to air early next year. Love Island USA has proven to be a massive hit on Peacock. Last summer, season 6 of the series was the #1 reality series across all streaming platforms and, in advance of the series' return this summer, Peacock announced Love Island: Beyond the Villa, a new spinoff following the beloved cast of season 6 outside of the villa. Following its Emmy Award-winning second season, season 3 of The Traitors debuted as the most-watched unscripted series in the U.S. during premiere week and grew viewership from the season 2 premiere by 67%. |

CBS has been the most-watched daytime network for an impressive 39 consecutive seasons and has won every week during that time except for one. This marks the longest daytime winning streak for any network since reporting began. CBS Daytime rating highlights: · #1 for 39 seasons, since 1986-87 season. CBS' weekly winning streak started on Oct. 3, 1988 (Ronald Reagan was president and floppy discs were still a thing), and the "weekly consecutive streak" was only interrupted from July 22-29, 1996, during the Summer Olympics held in Atlanta and broadcast on NBC. Since then, the network has maintained the #1 spot for the 1,500 consecutive weeks - approximately 28 years and eight months. CBS is home to the top three daytime shows - #1 THE PRICE IS RIGHT, #2 THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS and #3 THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL and the daytime audience averages 2.76m viewers (Most Current, Season-to-Date). For 13 consecutive seasons (since 2012-13), these shows have ranked as the top daytime programs for 571 of 615 weeks. THE PRICE IS RIGHT has been the #1 daytime program in 691 of the last 701 consecutive weeks and this season averages 3.95m viewers (Most Current, Season-to-Date). THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS has been the #1 daytime soap for more than 36 years and 1,878 consecutive weeks and this season averages 3.29m viewers (Most Current, Season-to-Date). THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL this season averages 2.79m viewers (Most Current, Season-to-Date). LET'S MAKE A DEAL this season averages 2.21m viewers (Most Current, Season-to-Date). BEYOND THE GATES, the newest addition to the winning CBS Daytime lineup, is up +48% in broadcast viewership from last year's time period and this season averages 1.82m viewers (Most Current, Season-to-Date). Streaming viewership of every CBS soap is up year-over-year and streaming gains result in double digit lifts over the broadcast-only audience. |

"The Voice" Lines Up Season 28 |
|
The Voice is returning to NBC in the fall but it will look a little different both in terms of coaches and timeslot. The music competition series is bringing back Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan and Reba McEntire as coaches with Adam Levine, John Legend and Kelsea Ballerini making way for the next installment of the show. The trio will join Michael Bublé, who has featured on Seasons 26 and 27. Snoop Dogg was a coach in Season 26 with McEntire previously doing a three season run between Seasons 24 and 26. One Direction star Horan previously served as a coach in Seasons 23 and 24. The Voice rotates its coaches to keep the reality TV competition hosted by Carson Daly fresh, airing twice a year. The musical chairs come as The Voice will have a slightly different pattern in terms of scheduling for its fall season. Snoop Dogg Snoop Dogg Trae Patton/NBC The show will launch with two hours on Mondays and Tuesdays in September but will then go down to one night per week as a result of NBC picking up the NBA. The first Tuesday of the fall season is the finale of America's Got Talent. Then, there will be three weeks of The Voice on Tuesday nights before the NBA kicks in and then it will only air on Monday nights. It will start as a two-hour show on Monday nights but reduce down to one-hour when NBC decides to premiere its comedies, including St. Denis Medical at 8pm with either The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, starring Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe, and one of its comedy pilots, including Stumble and an untitled community center show from Sierra Teller Ornelas. It will likely be six weeks of two hours on Mondays before moving to one hour. However, as a result of an NBA schedule that isn't completely set, there may be some episodes of The Voice on Tuesdays in December.

Soap veteran Denise Alexander, who played Laura's mother Lesley on General Hospital along with a lengthy stint on Days of Our Lives, has passed away at the age of 85, according to Soap Opera Digest. Alexander first gained fame when she joined the cast of NBC's Days of Our Lives in 1966 as Susan Martin. (She also married her Days co-star Richard Colla, with the two remaining together until Colla's death in 2021.) Alexander stayed on Days until 1973, when she shocked the soap world by hopping over to ABC's General Hospital. There, she played Lesley Webber, mother to Genie Francis' Laura. Alexander's Lesley was the driving force behind many of GH's major plotlines in the 1970s, and Alexander earned a Daytime Emmy nomination for best actress in a daytime drama in 1976. Lesley was killed off in a car crash in 1984, and Alexander took a role on the NBC soap Another World, but she returned to GH as Lesley in 1996, mysteriously resurrected. She continued on General Hospital off and on until 2009, popping back in for special episodes every few years after that. Her last appearance on the show was in 2021. Francis credits Alexander with helping her develop as an actor, she tells TV Insider: "I loved her. She loved me. I stole her good stuff. When I look at myself sometimes on television… I have been kind of taken aback because I realized I just did Denise… I was so young, she imprinted on me. And some of my style of acting was directly imprinted on me by Denise Alexander. And she was very, very good to me as I was growing up." In game shows, Alexander was featured on episodes of The Hollywood Squares and Family Feud. |
