ABC announced on social media that they picked up Tim Allen’s Shifting Gears for a third season and Zach Braff and Donald Faison’s Scrubs revival for a second, or is it a third on ABC and 11th altogether. Who said everything comes down to poo?
With these two renewals, that means midseason’s R.L. Decker is the scripted show awaiting its fate. And I think we know what it is…
Even though Bill Lawrence said that Ted Lasso would end after its third season, it is coming back for a fourth one on Apple TV this summer. However, there are going to be a lot of changes.
Ted returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women’s football team. Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.
I think the change is going to make the Emmy-winning comedy even more endearing. Therefore, I need it to come back as soon as possible, pretty please! But sadly, we are going to have to wait until August 5th for the season premiere. New episodes will drop on Wednesdays until the season finale on October 7th.
It seems like everything that Bill Lawrence creates these days is going to be a huge success, and Rooster on HBO and HBO Max is no different.
The series is set on a college campus, centering on an author’s (Carell) complicated relationship with his daughter (Charly Clive). The critical darling looks like it will be the network’s most-watched freshman comedy in over a decade, averaging around 6 million viewers in its first four episodes.
Clancy Collins White, President, Creative Affairs, Warner Bros. Television, quote: “ROOSTER is a heartfelt, endearing series, and its second-season renewal is richly deserved. Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses are masters of their craft, bringing their signature heart and humor to life through an incredible cast led by Steve Carell. We’re thrilled to continue this creative journey with HBO and Doozer.”
I keep meaning to watch it because my friend’s daughter is in it. Now that I know it is picked up, I am so going to tune in.
The remaining six episodes for this season will continue to debut on Sundays at 10p.
For years, Bill Lawrence has said that Shrinking would only be three seasons, “grief-forgiveness-moving forward”, but then Apple TV+ picked it up for a fourth one.
So what does that mean for the show’s future? Now, we know. Sort of.
Lawrence wrote on social media, “Season finale and end of this three season story next week. Hope you dig it.
“(Excited to start completely new story next year. Feels scary/risky/fun)”
Does that mean we are getting a new cast? He added, “(So excited to do Season 4 and a new story with the same cast.)” And that is because, he explained, “(that’s why we are doing it, we love each other).”
What will the story be next season? Lawrence says we will find out after Wednesday’s story finale…
Now, let’s talk about Bill Lawrence for a second. I think out of all the television creators, his casts get along the best, which is why they don’t want their shows to end. I mean, the casts of Scrubs. Ted Lasso and now Shrinking are all getting more episodes, even though their series ended. That says he knows how to cast people who genuinely like each other. That is a true talent.
Before Kim Raver was all about Owen on Grey’s Anatomy, Alan Ruck was all about her. She looks the same now as she did when she was 28 in that 1997 episode?
