It takes place over three years in 90s and follows two young women: Kate Wallis, the popular girl with a charmed life who one day goes missing, and Jeanette Turner, the nerdy wannabe who is accused of being connected to Kate’s disappearance.

Seth Meyers has, like the rest of the late-night community, been doing his NBC talkshow from his own house since the end of March. Late Night With Seth Meyers , filmed in the comedian’s attic, has been gaining particular steam thanks to his A Closer Look segments, which dissect the craziness of the news, as well as Amber Ruffin’s takeover of the start of his show following the death of George Floyd and the subsequent protests against police brutality. Taking over from Jimmy Fallon in 2014, Meyers has now made more than 1,000 episodes of his show, which is run by Mike Shoemaker and exec produced by Lorne Michaels. Deadline spoke to Meyers during his two-week hiatus, which he said he was enjoying but admitted that he was “chomping at the bit” to return to structure, even if wasn’t the structure he was used to.

ABC released an extended first-look clip for new comedy series Home Economics during the show’s virtual TCA presentation today. The Topher Grace -fronted series premieres on April 7. Inspired by the real-life experiences from writer and executive producer Michael Colton, the show documents the uncomfortable yet heartwarming relationships of three siblings in very different situations: one in the ultra-rich, one in the middle class and one scraping by. Co-writer and producer John Aboud said they were looking for the next great family sitcom that included the national conversation surrounding income inequality and thought Colton’s financially diverse family was fit for the part. The writers observed though there have been many great family dramas, none tackled monetary differences among characters. “We’ve been fans of Modern Family forever. But when you look at those three families and how those stories intersect… All those guys are rich,” Aboud joked. … [Read more...] about ABC Unveils Extended First-Look For ‘Home Economics’ Comedy, Produced By & Starring Topher Grace – TCA

Regrets, Charlie Sheen has had a few. But this week, several politicos brought him to mind, causing one outlet to reach out to Sheen to talk about his infamous public media meltdown of 10 years ago. In a Yahoo! Entertainment interview , Sheen reflected on how he traded early retirement for a hashtag in a series of mishaps, interview meltdowns and bizarre behavior that burned a lot of bridges. “People have [said to] me, ‘Hey, man, that was so cool, that was so fun to watch.
