Counting On has been removed from streaming platforms following Joseph Duggar’s recent arrest for child molestation.

The TLC series, which aired from 2015 to 2020, is no longer available to view on HBO Max as of Friday, March 27. Additionally, The US Sun reported that the show has also been pulled from Discovery+.

Some users in Canada and the United Kingdom, meanwhile, have claimed that Counting On is still available to view.

Us Weekly has reached out to Warner Bros. Discovery for comment.

Former Counting On star Joseph Duggar celebrated his family in a series of Instagram messages posted four years before his arrest for allegedly molesting a 9-year-old Joseph, 31, and his wife, Kendra Duggar, started an Instagram account for their family in February 2019 but stopped updating it in November 2021. Their final post was published […]

Counting On served as a spinoff to 19 Kids and Counting following its 2015 cancellation amid Joseph’s brother Josh Duggar’s molestation scandal. (Josh was accused of molesting five underage girls, four of whom were his sisters, when he was a teen. In 2021, Josh was arrested for receiving and possessing child pornography. He was found guilty and sentenced to 12.5 years in prison the following year. Josh has since made numerous attempts to appeal his sentence, which have all been denied.)

The series followed the lives of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s older children as they began their own families. Jana, John-David, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johannah, Jennifer, Jordyn-Grace and Josie all made appearances.

Joseph and wife Kendra Duggar were featured on Counting On as they began their courtship. During season 6, Joseph asked Kendra’s father, Pastor Paul Caldwell, for his permission to propose. The couple wed one month before the episode aired in October 2017. Joseph and Kendra share four children: Garrett, Addison, Brooklyn and Justus.

News of Counting On’s removal from streaming platforms comes after Joseph was arrested in Arkansas for lewd and lascivious behavior involving molestation of a victim less than 12 years old and lewd and lascivious behavior conducted by a person 18 years or older.

A victim, now 14, claimed that she experienced “several instances of sexual abuse” with Joseph when she was 9 years old. The alleged incidents took place while on a family vacation with the Duggars in Panama City Beach, Florida, back in 2020.

The girl alleged that Joseph “asked [her] to sit on his lap, numerous times” and asked her to “sit on the couch beside [him].” She also claimed that Joseph would cover them with a blanket, where he allegedly touched her inappropriately. She shared that Joseph later “apologized for his actions,” claiming that “the incidents stopped occurring” following the apology.

Joseph was arrested after the victim’s father called the reality star to confront him. During the call, during which police were on the line, Joseph allegedly admitted his actions to the father and to Tontitown detectives. He appeared in court virtually one day after his arrest and did not enter a plea. Joseph, who waived his right to an extradition hearing, is awaiting extradition from Arkansas to Florida.

Shortly after his arrest, Kendra was booked and taken into custody. She and Joseph were both charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, second degree and four counts of second degree false imprisonment. Kendra was released after paying a $1470 bond.

A spokesperson for the Duggar family told Us in a statement, “[Kendra’s] is a misdemeanor charge totally unrelated to the Florida case.”

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau prove they are still going strong — and don’t feel their ages — with a recent date night snap.

“How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?” Perry, 41, captioned a series of Instagram photos on Friday, March 27.

The caption appeared to be tailored to Perry’s first picture of the couple out to dinner. In the photo, Perry and Trudeau, 54, are both holding up their phones to show their “biological ages” after taking a quiz together.

The “Roar” singer’s result revealed that she is 33.1 years old, which is more than eight years younger than her calendar age. Trudeau’s number was 43, 11 years younger than his real age.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are under renewed scrutiny as debates continue over their future roles and business direction.

Now, a proposed “half-in, half-out” royal arrangement has resurfaced, while the couple continues to struggle as they pursue independent ventures in Hollywood.

Ex-Vanity Fair editor-in-chief, Tina Brown, is now calling on King Charles to step in and assist Prince Harry and Meghan before things go south for the Montecito-based royals.

King Charles Advised To Act Quickly As Concerns Grow Over Prince Harry And Meghan’s Future

A royal commentator has warned that Harry and Meghan could “crash and burn” unless King Charles intervenes with a new arrangement.

Tina Brown, the former editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, argues that the couple would benefit from a revised role within the monarchy, something similar to the “half-in, half-out” model Harry had previously proposed.

According to Brown, their current financial partnerships, including deals with streaming platforms, may not be as stable as before, making such a shift increasingly important.

She suggested that rather than watching the situation unfold negatively, the royal family should take a more proactive approach.

“The Sussexes’ revenue streams are starting to dry up,” Brown noted in her recent Substack piece. “Before the Sussexes crash and burn, the House of Windsor needs to put aside schadenfreude and grip the problem. Give Harry and Meghan a limited international role.”

She believes assigning Harry and Meghan limited international responsibilities could offer a practical solution.

Her comments come amid speculation that major media partners may be reconsidering their focus, potentially turning attention toward other senior royals like Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The Sussexes Face Questions Over Future Roles As Royals’

There have also been rumors that Meghan could return to acting, given her past success in series like “Suits” and “Fringe.”

However, according to The Mirror, some observers are suggesting that she and Harry might instead re-engage with royal-style duties, particularly in a charitable or global capacity.

The couple stepped back from official royal responsibilities in 2020 to build a life in California, but ongoing controversies surrounding the royal family have kept discussions about reform alive.

One idea that continues to surface is whether a flexible role for Harry and Meghan could work.

Royal correspondent Jennie Bond previously questioned why a compromise wasn’t possible, asking, “Could it not have worked, half in, half out? He is the spare; he isn’t going to be King, so why couldn’t they have worked out some sort of compromise?”

Bond noted that Harry is a “natural with the crowds: funny, informal, charming,” and the positive reception he often receives during appearances.

Still, a key concern remains: balancing any royal duties with independent commercial ventures.

Despite stepping away from formal roles, Harry and Meghan are expected to travel to Australia soon, where they will take part in philanthropic activities similar to those typically carried out by working members of the royal family.

Meghan Markle Is Still Laser-Focused On Growing Her Business

Meanwhile, outlets like The Telegraph and Daily Mail revealed that Meghan has filed for 12 trademarks in Australia for her lifestyle brand, As Ever, in September 2024, with approvals granted in June 2025.

A spokesperson clarified that these filings are standard practice, noting that Australia is just one of several regions where the brand has been registered.

Records show that As Ever spans a wide range of categories, including skincare, pet products, candles, gardening tools, and digital media such as films, TV content, podcasts, and educational programs.

The brand also extends into jewelry, stationery, furniture, yoga equipment, and hospitality services involving food, drink, and short-term stays.

Additional filings show expansion into outdoor décor, craft materials, and food items, particularly spreads like jams, which are a signature part of Meghan’s lifestyle line.

The brand also includes sauces, non-alcoholic cocktail mixers, and alcoholic drinks (excluding beer), as well as services tied to online broadcasting, content creation, and customizable digital tools for printable stationery.

As Ever To Grow Independently After Parting Ways With Netflix

Earlier this month, it was reported that As Ever and Netflix were going their separate ways, with representatives for both sides confirming that the brand will continue operating independently.

A spokesperson for As Ever expressed appreciation for the collaboration, noting that the partnership with Netflix supported the brand through its launch and first year.

They noted that the company has experienced meaningful and rapid growth, and As Ever is now ready to stand on its own, with plans for further expansion in the coming months.

Someone close to the project described this period as a major turning point, explaining that “Meghan is building with her team and enjoying the creative fulfillment that comes with creating a brand that’s so close to the life she authentically lives.”

They added: “This year is really about establishing the brand and scaling it.”

A Netflix Source Addressed Claims About A Split From Meghan’s Brand

In a statement to People Magazine, a Netflix representative said the transition had always been part of the plan.

They emphasized that Meghan’s vision, centered on bringing beauty and simplicity to everyday life, was the driving force behind the creation of As Ever, and that Netflix was pleased to have helped bring it to market.

The spokesperson added that Meghan will now take the brand into its next phase independently, while Netflix looks forward to seeing how it continues to grow and resonate with audiences worldwide.

Laguna Beach alum Kristin Cavallari nearly had a wardrobe malfunction but luckily, her ex Stephen Colletti was around to help.

Cavallari, 39, rocked a nearly identical dress to the one she wore in the reality show’s first episode during the premiere event for The Reunion: Laguna Beach. Cavallari paid homage to her past look at the Thursday, March 26, gathering by rocking a white mini dress. Her frock featured a strapless neckline, a fitted bodice and a tight skirt equipped with a cowl waist.

A now-viral clip shared by StyleCaster posted on Friday, March 27, showed the reality star trying to sit down in her dress, but struggling because it was too short. That’s when Colletti, 40, held up a pillow to cover her backside. Lauren Conrad also used her dress to cover up Cavallari while she readjusted herself.

Fans shared their reactions in the comments section. “They don’t make guys like them anymore,” one wrote, while a second added, “Stephen with the modesty pillow!!” A third gushed, “I love this.”

Kristin Cavallari is making waves — and we’re not just talking about the oceanfront drama of Laguna Beach. The reality TV star, 38, dropped a sneak peek of her Laguna Beach reunion look and it’s giving still the queen bee energy. In a mirror selfie shared via Instagram Stories on Tuesday, October 7, Cavallari posed […]

Cavallari accessorized with a black choker to get more into the Y2K spirit. For glam, she donned a full beat including dewy skin, brown eyelash, long lashes and pink lips. Her platinum blonde hair was parted down the middle and styled in loose curls.

She opened up about her outfit choice via Instagram before hitting the red carpet. “Tonight I was like, ‘I have to wear a white dress, and it has to be similar,’” she explained while holding the number out. “So, it’s like an elevated dress from the original.”

In the show’s first episode, Cavallari attended a black-and-white party in a nearly identical look, arriving in a strapless white dress with a fitted top. At the time, she parted her hair to the side and wore her mane down and straightened.

Following the premiere, Cavallari shared a photo of her look via Instagram. “Someone said Laguna Beach is back….and that means the black choker is too @uncommonjames,” she captioned the post.

Fans shared their thoughts on her look via X on Thursday. “One more [method] of dressing this year. The archive makes its presence felt once again,” one wrote, while a second added, “The iconic white dress! Can’t wait to see the reunion.” A third praised, “She’s fantastic.”

Cavallari starred on seasons 1 and 2 of Laguna Beach, which followed her high school life and friendships.

Task likely would have gone down in history as one of HBO’s best miniseries, but it was surprisingly picked up for a second season that will see Mark Ruffalo reprise his role as FBI Agent Tom Brandis. Although Season 1 ends with Brandis only beginning his path of healing, it also concludes with the climactic death of Robbie Prendergrast (Tom Pelphrey), a criminal who was dealing with his own personal family issues. Task was always going to face high expectations because of the dichotomy between Robbie and Brandis, which evolves beyond a simple cat-and-mouse game between two men on opposite sides of the law. However, the recent announcement that two-time Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali would be joining the second season suggests that showrunner Brad Ingelsby has another masterpiece on his hands.

While details about where Task Season 2 will go are minimal, Ali is set to play new character Eddie Barnes, a respected DEA agent who leads his own team. Since the first season featured a face-off between Brandis’ task force and Robbie’s crew, it would make sense to add another character who leads their own unit. That an actor of Ali’s quality would sign up for a continuing series indicates that Ingelsby has something very special in mind for the future of Task. While Brandis’ superior, Kathleen McGinty (Martha Plimpton), and the traitorous detective Anthony Grasso (Fabien Frankel) may very well be returning, the inclusion of a potential new nemesis for Ruffalo’s character will take Task in a different direction.

Mahershala Ali Needs a Role Like HBO’s ‘Task’

Ali is a brilliant actor who has unfortunately not been onscreen as often as his talents deserve due to the unusual development hell surrounding the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s version of Blade; after several directors departed the project and the script was reworked, Ali’s superhero project appears to be dead. Ali isn’t well-served by disappointing blockbuster fare like Jurassic World Rebirth, but he has already proven himself to be well-suited for an HBO series. True Detective was an interesting case in which Ali revamped the anthology show and built back its credibility, which had been eroded after the second season failed to match expectations. Inserting him into a show like Task, which already has an established ensemble of great actors, means that he will have even more space to develop a compelling character.

Ali’s character is a logical addition because the season finale of Task leaves several unanswered questions regarding the different criminal organizations involved in the stashhouse that Robbie had stolen from. Even if the money is safely in the hands of his family, the Dark Hearts are still operating, which may explain why the DEA could be involved in the situation. Season 1 revealed that Tom is an inherently skeptical character who is generally unwilling to share responsibility with others, as he was initially dubious about commanding his own task unit; his confidence has likely been shaken further after Grasso’s betrayal. The conflict between the DEA and FBI, who may have different goals when it comes to the criminal situation in Pennsylvania, would seemingly be the complication that Task needs in order to develop into a more expansive series moving forward. Since the first season was so eloquent in fleshing out the backstories for both Robbie and Brandis, there’s an opportunity for Ali to offer an equally compelling story for Eddie that would explain his relevance to the story.

HBO’s ‘Task’ Can Sustain Its Quality Through Expanding Its Cast

The presence of a character like Ali’s Eddie would indicate that Task Season 2 is picking up on an interesting thread from Season 1 regarding the unreliable nature of law enforcement. Beyond Grasso’s role as an informant for the Dark Hearts, it’s hinted that the other members of the FBI can’t be trusted, which is why Tom needs to lock down his own unit. The DEA may have completely different motivations that have less to do with bringing the criminals to justice and more with the seizure of drugs. At the same time, the detail that Eddie is a “well-respected” member of the community would imply he is perceived very differently from Tom, who has kept his private life a secret after dealing with a personal tragedy. Tom’s reputation might be under fire even more in the next season, given that he had allowed Maeve (Emilia Jones) to leave the state without facing any further investigations.

The addition of a robust supporting cast is essential to Task because the show created a thoughtful balance of established names and rising stars. While Ruffalo was obviously a big draw in Season 1, the series also helped to highlight newer talents like Sam Keeley and Alison Oliver. Ali is the type of universally respected actor who can sustain viewer interest in Task, giving it more opportunities to bring in emerging stars with the potential of being breakouts. It also proves that Task‘s renewal was not an impromptu decision based on the positive reaction to Season 1, but part of a plan that Ingelsby had from the beginning; if the writing for Season 2 is strong enough that one of the greatest living actors wants to be involved, then there is even more reason to believe in the future of Task.
