Jude Law’s Ex Breaks Silence on Chappell Roan Drama
Jude Law’s ex Cat Cavelli is sharing her side of the story after Chappell Roan’s alleged interaction with her 11-year-old daughter in Brazil.
“Hi guys, good morning,” Cavelli said in a Sunday, March 22, Instagram video. “I wanted to say something because I’m getting so many messages about this now and honestly I didn’t realize it would get this crazy but a lot of people asked me, ‘What actually happened?’ and everything else and I know that Chappell has responded saying that it wasn’t her security and that she didn’t do it.”
She continued, “So, 100 percent this security guard was not a security guard of the hotel — that is what I can say. He looks after artists, so I don’t know if it was her personal security guard but he was with her. That is all I know. Did she send him to do it? Again, I don’t know. Look, I would like to hope not but at the same time, I think that you have a responsibility when you are a celebrity to make sure, I guess, that the people who work with you and act on your behalf are acting on your behalf.”
Cavelli questioned whether the security guard would have approached them if “he didn’t have the authority to do so.”
Paris Fashion Week delivered pure theatrical glamour thanks to Chappell Roan, who turned two iconic shows into her personal stage. She made a fashion statement by going braless at the Alexander McQueen Autumn Winter 2026 show on Sunday, March 8, wearing a see-through black gown that channeled gothic elegance. The dress featured an embellished collar, […]
“I don’t know,” she continued. “If he does, then obviously that’s a big problem because then he’s representing her in a way that she doesn’t want to be represented so I think that’s really important for her to notice and realize that’s not correct.”
Cavelli went on to note that they were staying at the same hotel as Roan, enjoying breakfast when they noticed someone who looked similar to the singer. Cavelli claimed her daughter “didn’t approach” Roan but went to see if the woman they spotted was, in fact, the pop star. (Cavelli is also mom to son Jax, whom she shares with professional soccer star Jorginho.)
“She didn’t have her phone, she didn’t try to take a picture, she didn’t approach her. She literally didn’t do anything. She just looked at her,” Cavelli claimed of her daughter, noting that a security guard then approached them with a “very aggressive tone.”
“For me, I feel like it really overstepped a boundary, because he is quite an intimidating … he is very large,” she continued. “So for him to come over to a table with just a woman and her daughter eating breakfast to kind of berate and scold us and say that he was going to complain and tell me that I should be teaching my daughter to be better, and that she’s badly educated, and we should respect people’s privacy, and we should not harass people, and all of these other things.”
Chappell Roan has cut ties with her talent agency, Wasserman, after CEO and founder Casey Wasserman was named in files related to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “As of today, I am no longer represented by Wasserman, the talent agency led by Casey Wasserman,” Roan, 27, shared in an Instagram Story on Monday, February 9. […]
Cavelli claimed she tried to explain that her daughter was “very excited” to see an artist that she “admires.” She also noted that Jorginho is “very well known” and her daughter “knows the limits” around public figures.
“I tried to explain this to him, and then he just kept saying, ‘Well, if that’s the case, you should know better. You should know how it is. You should know how it is. So you should teach her to be better. You shouldn’t allow her to be like this,’” Cavelli recalled. “I was shocked.”
She continued, “I did actually say to him at the time, I said, ‘Well, if this the case that she doesn’t even want people to look at her, she is very welcome to eat breakfast in her room, because this here is a public area, and I am a paying guest as well as her. So if I want to walk past someone’s table and look at them, I have every right to do so. I am not approaching her. I’m not doing anything to make her feel intimidated or nothing.’”
Cavelli said that she hopes Roan “did not know” and “did not send her security guard over to do this.” She noted that the family traveled to see the show, with her daughter asking to see the singer perform for her birthday present. The group ended up skipping the show.
“It’s how it is. We’ll say no more on it. That’s it,” she concluded. “I hope that maybe, if it wasn’t her, that she learns to not allow the people that work for her to treat people like this. That’s the end of it.”
In the caption, Cavelli wrote, “Good afternoon, everyone! I’ve been reflecting on the recent events, which is why it took me a while to speak out. First of all, I want to say that we’re all okay. We met Jorge here at his hotel, and I decided to share a bit about what happened. Thank you for the support and for all the kind messages.”
The drama began on Saturday, March 21, that Jorginho (real name Jorge Luiz Frello Filho) claimed that Roan’s security team wouldn’t allow his daughter to meet her.
“During breakfast, the artist walked past their table. My daughter, like any child, recognized her, got excited, and just wanted to make sure it was really her,” Jorginho alleged in his statement via social media. “And the worst part is she didn’t even approach her. She simply walked past the singer’s table, looked to confirm it was her, smiled, and went back to sit with her mum. She didn’t say anything, didn’t ask for anything.”
A security guard allegedly told Cavelli and her daughter that she shouldn’t “disrespect or harass other people.”
Chappell Roan’s look at the 2026 Grammy Awards was all about pushing boundaries. The “Red Wine Supernova” singer’s makeup artist, Andrew Dahling, said that she channeled a “Mugler medieval fantasy” by wearing prosthetic nipples and faux tattoos for the red carpet held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 1. Roan (real […]
“Honestly, I don’t know at what point simply walking past a table and looking to see if someone is there can be considered harassment,” Jorginho concluded. “I’ve lived with football, public exposure, and well-known people for many years, and I understand very well what respect and boundaries are. What happened there was not that. It was just a child admiring someone. It’s sad to see this kind of treatment coming from those who should understand the importance of fans. At the end of the day, they are the ones who build all of this. I sincerely hope this serves as a moment of reflection. No one should have to go through this, especially not a child.”
Roan, for her part, addressed the comments on Sunday in a video shared via social media.
“I’m just gonna tell my half of the story of what happened today with a mother and child, who were involved with a security guard who is not my personal security,” Roan said via her Instagram Story. “I didn’t even see a woman and a child, like, no one came up to me. No one bothered me. I was just sitting at breakfast in my hotel. I think these people were staying at the hotel, as well.”
Roan denied that she asked the security official to “go up and talk” to the family on her behalf.
“I did not, [and] they did not come up to me. They weren’t doing anything,” Roan said. “It’s unfair for security to just assume someone doesn’t have good intentions when they have no reason to believe because there’s no action even taken, like, that’s so not what I stand behind.”
Roan noted that she has no issue with her fans, adding, “I do not hate people who are fans of my music. I do not hate children, like, that is crazy. I’m sorry to that mother and child that someone was assuming something that you would do something and that if you felt uncomfortable, that makes me really sad. You did not deserve that.”

‘Scarpetta’ Star’s Near-Perfect 87% Thriller Leaves Prime Video at the End of the Month
There are plenty of movies about money, greed, and collapse, but very few make boardrooms feel this terrifying. Margin Call turns financial jargon into a full-blown pressure cooker, locking viewers inside one long night as a company realizes it is on the edge of disaster. The result is not flashy in the usual Hollywood way, but it is still one of the most stressful dramas of the last 15 years. Prime viewers only have until March 31 to watch it there.
Written and directed by J.C. Chandor, Margin Call unfolds over a 24-hour period at a major investment bank during the early stages of the 2008 financial crisis. When a junior analyst discovers that the firm’s position could collapse the company, executives are dragged into a brutal overnight reckoning about how much they are willing to burn in order to survive.
The cast includes Scarpetta star Simon Baker as Jared Cohen, Kevin Spacey as Sam Rogers, Paul Bettany as Will Emerson, Jeremy Irons as John Tuld, Zachary Quinto as Peter Sullivan, Penn Badgley as Seth Bregman, Mary McDonnell as Mary Rogers, Demi Moore as Sarah Robertson, and Stanley Tucci as Eric Dale.

Sometimes actors quit; other times they’re fired. On this first day of spring, we’re recalling some famous roles that got a fresh start with a recast.
How Good Is ‘Margin Call’?
Collider’s review stated that while the 2008 financial collapse has all the makings of gripping cinema, Margin Call struggles to turn that real-world catastrophe into something truly insightful. J.C. Chandor’s film has all the surface-level ingredients of a prestige drama — a stacked cast, sharp suits, and a high-stakes setting — but beneath that polished exterior, it often feels more like a hollow exercise than a meaningful exploration of one of the most defining crises of our time.
“Unfortunately Margin Call wastes the rest of its talented cast by making them nothing more than plastic figures moving around a poorly constructed play set (Note to toy manufacturers: do not make the Financial Firm Play Set). The devil is in the details and Chandor wants to make a movie without devils or even people. We need a good film about the financial collapse, but if Margin Call is the best we can get, then fuck me…”
Prime subscribers have until March 31 to stream Margin Call before it leaves.

Taylor Frankie Paul’s Bachelorette suitor, Doug Mason, reacted to calls for him to star as The Bachelor.
A Saturday, March 21, Instagram comment, shared via Bachelor fan account Scoop’s Instagram Stories the following day, showed a Bachelorette fan writing, “Doug Mason for Bachelor.” Doug then responded, “Let’s goooo.”
Doug was a contestant on Taylor’s cancelled season 22 of The Bachelorette amid the 31-year-old’s ongoing police investigation.
Fans have also taken to Doug’s Instagram page to advocate for his potential turn as the Bachelor, with one person writing on a March 14 photo carousel, “Doug for the next bachelor ❤️🌹!!!!” The photos were unrelated to Doug’s reality TV involvement, depicting the California-based lifeguard surfing.
Taylor Frankie Paul had been honest about her on–off relationship with Dakota Mortensen while filming The Bachelorette. “There were several conversations had [about Taylor’s status with Dakota], and the writing was on the wall,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly, referring to Taylor and her Bachelorette contestants. “Many feel like their time was wasted.” Taylor, […]
Another fan wrote on a February 24 Bachelorette promotional photo shared by Doug, “I don’t think this aged well… but hoping you’re the next BACHELOR!!”
Doug has not publicly commented on the status of his relationship with Taylor, 31, who Us Weekly confirmed on Wednesday, March 18, is the subject of an “active police investigation confirmed by the Draper Police Department” amid fresh alleged domestic assault allegations involving her and her ex Dakota Mortensen.

Doug did, however, publicly address Taylor’s situation via an Instagram video shared on Friday, March 20. “In light of everything that has happened, I am just sending prayers to Taylor because that was her moment and her moment was blocked,” he told fans. “All we can do right now is just be hopeful, and I am headed off to run to watch the sunrise.”
He concluded the video, “I hope you guys have a great day, and let’s stay positive and show nothing but support for people in need.”
A fan account for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, through which Taylor initially rose to fame, reposted the video, which sparked a response from Taylor in the comments section: “Aw my heart goes out to him. So sweet.”

ABC cancelled Taylor’s Bachelorette season following TMZ releasing footage of her physically assaulting and throwing chairs at Dakota during a 2023 incident. The footage showed Taylor’s daughter upset in the background. (Taylor shares daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 5, with ex-husband Tate Paul, and she also shares a son, Ever, with Dakota, who was born in 2024.)
At the time, Taylor was charged with aggravated assault, two counts of domestic violence in the presence of a child, child abuse with injury and criminal mischief as a result of the incident. Taylor ultimately pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, while the other four charges were dismissed with prejudice and she later reached a plea deal.
In light of ABC’s cancellation, a rep for Taylor told Us that she is “very grateful for ABC’s support” while she “prioritizes her family’s safety and security.”
A statement shared with Us by Taylor’s rep read, “After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm.”

It continued, “There are too many women who are suffering in silence as they survive aggressive, jealous ex-partners who refuse to let them move on with their lives. Taylor has remained silent out of fear of further abuse, retaliation, and public shaming. She is currently exploring all of her options, seeking support, and preparing to own and share her story.”
Dakota also addressed the footage, releasing his own statement at the time. “Anyone who has seen the video will understand, this is a deeply upsetting situation,” it read. “I am, unfortunately, used to these baseless claims about me and our relationship, which I categorically deny. I am focusing on our son and his safety, and hope that Taylor will do the same.”
Us Weekly later confirmed that Dakota has since been granted a temporary protective order against Taylor and given temporary custody of their son.

Kevin Costner’s Stellar ‘Lincoln Lawyer’-Like Thriller Closes Its Case on Streaming in 2 Weeks
There is a very specific kind of 1980s thriller that just hits differently. Slick but not empty, political but still deliciously pulpy, No Way Out is one of the best examples of that whole lane. The film remains a favorite because it understands exactly how to trap a charismatic lead inside an increasingly impossible situation and then just keep tightening the screws. Prime subscribers have until March 31 to catch it before it disappears.
Directed by Roger Donaldson, No Way Out stars Kevin Costner as naval officer Tom Farrell, who becomes entangled in a deadly web after the mistress of Defense Secretary David Brice is killed. What follows is a tense Washington-set game of lies, cover-ups, and political self-preservation, with the story turning Farrell into both investigator and target at the same time.
Alongside Costner as Tom Farrell, the cast includes Gene Hackman as David Brice, Sean Young as Susan Atwell, Will Patton as Scott Pritchard, Howard Duff as Duvall, George Dzundza as Sam Hesselman, and Jason Bernard as Major Donovan.

Is ‘No Way Out’ Worth Watching?
The venerable critic Roger Ebert said No Way Out is the kind of thriller that throws a lot of information at you, but instead of feeling confusing, it pulls you in deeper the more it goes on. The plot is complex, almost like a puzzle you’re trying to piece together, but what really makes it work is how invested you become in the characters. At a certain point, you stop worrying about how everything fits together and just want to see how it all plays out.
Prime subscribers have until March 31 to stream No Way Out.

Some musical biopics do decent business and quietly move on. Bohemian Rhapsody absolutely did not do that. The Queen film became a full-on box-office phenomenon, becoming the highest-grossing musical biopic ever and giving audiences a crowd-pleasing, stadium-sized version of Freddie Mercury’s story. Now it is heading out of Prime at the end of March.
Released in 2018, the film stars Rami Malek as Mercury and follows the rise of Queen, charting the band’s success through its internal tensions and the lead-up to Live Aid. Initially directed by Bryan Singer, before he was fired and the movie was completed by Dexter Fletcher, the movie was a massive commercial hit, grossing more than $900 million worldwide and becoming one of the most successful music films ever made.
The cast includes Gwilym Lee as Brian May, Ben Hardy as Roger Taylor, Joseph Mazzello as John Deacon, Lucy Boynton as Mary Austin, Aidan Gillen as John Reid, Tom Hollander as Jim Beach, and Allen Leech as Paul Prenter.

Is ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Worth a Watch?
Collider’s review stated that Bohemian Rhapsody may play fast and loose with the facts, but it’s hard to deny how effective it is as an emotional, crowd-pleasing ride. Perri Nemiroff writes that the film tracks Queen’s rise to fame through the eyes of Freddie Mercury, and while the storytelling isn’t always smooth, it’s consistently engaging — especially if you go in more connected to the music than the finer details of the band’s real-life history.
“The energy radiating from the crowd is infectious and, in the context of this story, seeing the band back together on that stage is just undeniably satisfying. There was something about that particular shot that I needed, perhaps now more than ever. There are a lot of personal and global complications in our day to day lives, but music has the power to change that. No matter your age, race, sexual orientation, you name it, when you’re singing along with more than 70,000 people, you’re all on the same level sharing the same passion, and getting to celebrate music and life that way for a moment really felt special.”
Bohemian Rhapsody will leave Prime Video on March 31.

Sci-fi franchises consistently produce some of the most important hits nearly every year, and the franchise that’s come to define this generation of sci-fi stories is Dune. The first Dune movie was released in 2021 and was a massive hit, earning strong scores of 83% from critics and 90% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and grossing $410 million at the box office. It also won six Oscars, which made it an easy decision to greenlight a sequel. Dune: Part Two was released in April 2024, and it was universally hailed as even better than the original. The third and final installment in the franchise will be released later this year, and it’s expected to be one of the most successful movies of the year, if the franchise continues on the same trajectory.
The Dune franchise has already expanded once on the small screen last year, though, with Dune: Prophecy. The hard sci-fi series takes place 10,000 years before the events of Denis Villeneuve’s movies, which answered any questions about whether any characters from the show or the movies would crossover. The fate of Dune: Prophecy wasn’t left up in the air for long, but HBO decided to renew the show for Season 2 before the Season 1 finale, with production beginning last year. Earlier this week, Dune: Prophecy got its most exciting Season 2 update yet, when it was confirmed that production on the second season had officially wrapped. This has led fans to check out the show on streaming, pushing it back into the HBO Max top 10 in more than 10 countries around the world. It’s still unclear at this time when the second season will be released, though.
Casting (Re)Directors — The Collider TV Quiz!
When a new actor takes over an existing role, audiences can be wary. On this first day of spring, let’s look at some characters who got fresh starts.
What Do We Know About ‘Dune: Part Three’?
Dune: Part Three will be released exclusively in theaters on December 18, the same day as Avengers: Doomsday. The film will feature returning veterans like Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, and Zendaya, along with newcomers like Robert Pattinson, who has been tapped to play the villainous Scytale. Director Denis Villeneuve has confirmed that there will be a considerable time jump moving into the third film, which will also allow Anya Taylor-Joy to reprise her brief role as Alia Atreides in the film. Warner Bros. released the first trailer for Dune: Part Three not long ago.

Originally, DTF St. Louis was meant to pull inspiration from the “My Dentist’s Murder Trial” article — but how much of the show is actually based on a true story?
In the new HBO show, which premiered in March, David Harbour plays Floyd, who is involved in a complicated love triangle with wife Carol (Linda Cardellini) and coworker Clark (Jason Bateman). Before the series debuted on HBO, it was announced that it would mirror an actual murder trial with Harbour, 51, and Pedro Pascal attached to star and executive produce.
The direction changed with Pascal exiting the show and Bateman coming to take over the role. In addition to Pascal’s exit, the creative direction of the series evolved into an original idea with no connection to the original article.
Ultimately, DTF St. Louis no longer follows Thomas Kolman‘s death, which took place in 2011 and made headlines when midazolam, a powerful sedative used by doctors and dentists, was found in his system.
HBO’s upcoming new show DTF St. Louis has a star-studded cast that includes Jason Bateman and David Harbour. According to its official synopsis, the dark comedy miniseries follows a love triangle between three middle-aged adults. However, things go awry when one of them ends up dead. In addition to Harbour and Bateman, DTF St. Louis […]
Kolman’s friend Dr. Gilberto Nunez, was charged with the murder four years later. Prosecutors claimed Nunez — a dentist — was having an affair with Kolman’s wife, Linda. When she ended their romance, Nunez allegedly threatened to die by suicide.
The New Yorker reported that security camera footage showed Nunez’s car parked next to Kolman’s at the gym the day of Kolman’s death. Authorities also discovered vials of Midazolam in the dentist’s office — in addition to searches on his computer about the drug.
Nunez was charged with second-degree murder and two counts of forgery, including one for faking CIA documents. During his trial, Nunez’s attorneys argued that Kolman died from a heart attack. Nunez was found not guilty of murder in 2016 but was convicted of felony forgery charges related to the fake CIA documents and was also convicted of insurance fraud in two subsequent trials.
Nunez was released in 2018 after serving 19 months of a seven-year sentence in state prison. He was restricted from returning to his prior dental practice and remained on parole until October 2023.
HBO Max dramas are where it’s at. From the channel’s fantastic in-house dramas like The Sopranos, The Wire and Euphoria to being the exclusive streaming home for shows like Mad Men, you can be sure to find a drama that suits your needs. This March, Watch With Us has added two fantastic shows to our list […]
Creator Steven Conrad told The A.V. Club in March that the show was originally titled My Dentist’s Murder Trial — until they pivoted behind the scenes.
“I had already started along those lines with my own story, with various dilemmas for my characters,” he explained. “The challenge for me, at that time, was to take that make-believe world I was already concocting and see if I could fit it into these real circumstances from the article.”
Conrad found that the “details didn’t align with what I considered to be the facts of that case.” He switched ideas while working with Harbour on a concept centered around “middle-aged emptiness” while “wondering about the state of their lives, where their bad decisions were coming from, and what the consequences were.”
It’s hard to dispute that Clint Eastwood has given more to the world of movies than anyone else in the history of Hollywood. His career as a movie star began years ago, when he directed and starred in some of the most famous Westerns of all time. Even in the last 10–15 years, as his career slowed down at an advanced age, he refused to quit giving the world more of his movies. He still found plenty of box office success over the years, particularly with action epics like American Sniper, the Bradley Cooper-led war biopic that grossed over $547 million globally. Eastwood won four Oscars over the course of his long and distinguished career, but many would argue that this isn’t anywhere near enough, considering what he’s given to the genre.
60 years ago, Clint Eastwood starred in one of the most famous Westerns of his career, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, which was formerly titled Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo. The spaghetti Western follows a bounty-hunter who joins two men in an uneasy alliance against a third to race against each other in their hunt for a secret fortune of gold buried in a remote cemetery. Hailed as one of the greatest movies ever made, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly holds equally strong scores of 97% from both critics and audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. It also cost only $1.2 million to make, but it grossed $25 million at the box office, making it a massive financial hit. All these years later, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly has found streaming success as one of the most popular VOD purchases worldwide on Apple TV.

Is Clint Eastwood’s Final Movie on Streaming?
Clint Eastwood’s final film, Juror #2, is available to stream on HBO Max both in America and globally. The film has continued to find streaming success, proving that Warner Bros. made a mistake bynot giving it a wide theatrical release. Juror #2 was released in select theaters overseas, but it was released straight to streaming in America, despite many classic movie fans expressing a desire to see it on the big screen. Now several years removed from the film, it’s unlikely Eastwood, now 95, will direct another movie.

Carrie Anne Fleming, best known for her roles in TV shows Supernatural and iZombie, has died.
Fleming’s rep confirmed her death, which occurred on February 26, via a statement shared with Us Weekly on Sunday, March 22. She was 51 years old.
“Carrie passed away a few weeks ago at the age of 51 due to cancer. She died peacefully with her loved ones by her side. She is survived by her daughter,” the statement read. “It was a great privilege to have known Carrie. She was a beautiful soul, inspiring, and above all, kind. She will be greatly missed.”
Supernatural star Jim Beaver, who played Bobby Singer opposite Fleming’s Karen Singer on the CW fantasy-drama series, took to Facebook on March 1 to reflect on the friendship he formed with his onscreen wife. His post also commented on Fleming’s battle with cancer — the same disease that killed his late wife, Cecily Adams, who died at the age of 46 more than two decades ago.
“I lost Cecily to cancer in 2004 … I lost Carrie to the same disease,” Beaver, 75, wrote alongside several photos of himself with Fleming. “I never thought my heart could break so badly more than once. But it has. But, oh, the two torches I carry. What bright, bright light they shed.”
Fleming appeared as Karen Singer during Supernatural seasons 5 and 7. Previously, she starred as Candy on CW’s iZombie from 2015 to 2019.
Per Beaver’s Facebook post, Fleming was instantly likeable when she joined Supernatural’s set in Canada, where Fleming lived, during season 5. “Carrie Anne Fleming was cast as my wife on Supernatural in my fifth season on the show. I fell for her hard, and I did it mere seconds after meeting her. To my joy and shock, it seems the same thing happened to her. We “met cute,” in Hollywood speak,” he wrote.

The post continued, “As we sat on the set before our first scene, saying our hellos and breaking the ice as actors do when first paired up for a scene, she mentioned the name Madeline Rose. I was flummoxed, because that is my daughter’s name, and there was no reason Carrie should know it. I said tentatively, ‘Who’s Madeline Rose?’ She said, ‘Oh, that’s my daughter.’ I said, ‘Wait. That’s my daughter.’ Turns out that, spelling differences aside, our daughters had the same name. And that, as also happens in the movies, was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”
Beaver also reflected on his former costar’s many charms. “She was a powerhouse of vitality and goodwill and amazingly good nature, with a rapturous laugh and an utterly adorable personality that didn’t seem to have an off switch,” he detailed.
Fleming’s work extended to film too, with appearances in 2007’s Good Luck Chuck, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, Crossroads: A Story of Forgiveness, and Married Life, plus 2012’s The Christmas Consultant, and 2014’s TV movie Along Came a Nanny.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, she also gave an uncredited performance in 1996’s Happy Gilmore.
Lisa Kudrow‘s The Comeback was canceled — and brought back — multiple times before its third and final season.
Created by Kudrow and Michael Patrick King, The Comeback premiered in 2005 and followed Valerie as she filmed a reality show called The Comeback, which chronicled her journey on a new sitcom with young costars as she tried to resuscitate her Hollywood career. The HBO show debuted to low ratings — and mixed reviews — despite being nominated for three Emmy Awards. Kudrow, for her part, received a nod for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
Amid its award success, the show was canceled after 13 episodes. According to The Wall Street Journal, the show averaged 955,000 viewers per episode at the time. HBO said in a 2005 statement that after looking “at our schedule,” they decided that “given our future commitments, we felt we would not be able to give the show the support it needed.”
The show was revived nine years later for a second season of eight episodes. The show returned in 2014 to a more positive reception but since it was announced as a “limited event series,” there was no news about more seasons.

“The show originally felt like one humiliation or punishment after another,” Kudrow told W in 2025. “Now, everyone’s signing up for that.”
Season 2 picked up 10 years later as Valerie attempted to produce a reality TV pilot for Andy Cohen while appearing in a documentary film about her career. HBO confirmed the news in June 2025 that the upcoming season, which premieres Sunday, March 22, will be the show’s last.
Kudrow and King shared their excitement over the news via a joint statement, saying, “Valerie Cherish has found her way back to the current television landscape. Neither of us are surprised she did.”
It’s officially the time of reboots and revivals on TV. While many original cast members return for new series revisiting old stories, many shows have left out major stars when returning. From reality TV like Jersey Shore — Samantha “Sammi Sweetheart” Giancola did not return for the spinoff, Jersey Shore Family Vacation, when it debuted […]
Kudrow had stood by the sentiment that season 3 is the show’s third and last.
“We need to say ‘third and final,’ ” Kudrow told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month before the show’s return to HBO. “I don’t know if I’ll want to do it again in 10 years, so let’s be done, that way no one is asking what’s next or whether we will even want to do more.”
She added: “The most respectful thing we can do for the audience and for the character is make it a three-part story. It’s a trilogy, and this is the end.”
When Calls the Heart concluded season 13 with a surprise cameo from none other than Lori Loughlin — seven years after her original exit from the show.
During the Sunday, March 22, episode of the hit Hallmark series Elizabeth (Erin Krakow) and Nathan’s (Kevin McGarry) engagement ended with Abigail (Loughlin) coming back to Hope Valley, saying, “It’s good to be home.”
News originally broke in December 2025 that Loughlin, 61, will appear in six of season 14’s 12 episodes. The show, which is filming this year, is set to return in 2027 with Krakow, 41, McGarry, Jack Wagner, Chris McNally, Pascale Hutton and Kavan Smith all set to return.
“Since the series’ debut in 2014, the character of Abigail Stanton was a fan favorite and beloved by the Hearties,” Hallmark Media’s head of programming Michelle Vicary said in a statement. “At its core the Hallmark brand is about hope, positivity and connection, which is also the central theme of When Calls the Heart. We felt that season 14 was the right time to continue Abigail’s story with her return to this beloved series.”
Loughlin’s appearance on the hit show comes seven years after her final episode aired. The actress became a household name after playing Rebecca on ABC’s hit sitcom Full House. From there, Loughlin continued to deliver scene-stealing performances in Summerland, 90210, When Calls the Heart and Fuller House.
Loughlin was written off When Calls the Heart in 2019 in the wake of the college admissions scandal for which she served two months in jail. Before her return was announced, Krakow exclusively told Us Weekly she was hoping to reunite with Loughlin.
“I love Lori Loughlin, and I love the character she created, Abigail Stanton,” Krakow shared, adding that Loughlin rejoining the show is “something I’ve been hoping for for years and years. I’m very much a fan of hers and a friend of hers, so I really hope that it’s happening.”
Loughlin previously returned to acting on Dick Wolf’s Prime Video procedural On Call.
All good things must come to an end, even when it comes to TV. Over the years, many television stars have suddenly left their roles — while others have been cut from a series without much notice. Anna Faris announced in September 2020 that she was leaving CBS’ Mom after starring as the lead character […]
“I don’t get offered roles like this,” Loughlin shared with Us in December 2024. “Throughout my career, people [have] seen me as the girl next door.”
Loughlin explained that she has nothing but gratitude for her past projects, but she was excited to try something new.
“I’m not complaining. I feel very blessed for the career that I’ve had but it was a wonderful opportunity for me to play a completely different role,” she explained. “I was shocked to even get the offer. [My costar and On Call director] Eriq [La Salle] was instrumental in bringing me on board. I’m so thankful that Dick Wolf and everyone at Wolf Entertainment also agreed to bring me on board.”
