Jason Statham and early-year actioners are a perfect pairing, and that’s exactly how 2026 began as Statham returned with another ass-kicking masterclass. In his latest effort, Shelter, you won’t be surprised to learn that Statham plays a former British government assassin who has now chosen to live a quieter life, only to be forced into using his skull-cracking expertise in the name of justice. Against a budget of $50 million, Shelter sadly failed to impress at the box office, running out of steam with a global haul of just $49 million.

What made this box office performance even more damning was the success of Statham’s January 2024 movie, The Beekeeper. Against a budget of $40 million, The Beekeeper proved a smash hit, scoring a huge $152 million in global revenue, split between a domestic haul of $66 million and a further $86 million from overseas markets. Not only a hit financially, but The Beekeeper was also a success with both critics and audiences, earning a solid 71% from critics on the review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes, and “Verified Hot” 92% on the audience-driven Popcornmeter.

After its enormous success, the actioner was quickly greenlit for a second installment, with The Beekeeper 2 seeing Timo Tjahjanto take over directorial control from David Ayer. Written by Umair Aleem, who takes over from Kurt Wimmer, the film is scheduled to hit theaters on January 15, 2027. However, if you’re from Germany, you’re in luck, as the movie will arrive a day early, on January 14. In anticipation of the sequel’s release next year, the first movie, The Beekeeper, is one of the ten most-watched films on Peacock in the U.S.

What Did Collider Say About ‘The Beekeeper’?

In line with the views of others around the world, Collider’s Nate Richard wrote a glowing review of The Beekeeper, awarding the film a strong 8/10 score. “The Beekeeper is made for a very specific audience. Those who don’t want their action paired with a large quantity of puns and cheese won’t find much here,” he said. “It’s an action movie with plot beats that might make certain audience members raise their eyebrows and scoff,” Richard wrote, “but it will have Statham devotees smiling, laughing, and cheering in their seats.”

The Beekeeper is streaming now on Peacock. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.

The box office has made space the place to be this weekend, as a sequel to an animated juggernaut goes head-to-head with Ryan Gosling‘s latest masterpiece. The epic sci-fi adventure Project Hail Mary, based on the bestselling book by Andy Weir, has already broken box office records for Amazon MGM and will continue its impressive run this weekend. However, it now faces its biggest test in the form of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, directed by returning filmmakers Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic​​​​​​.

Although Super Mario Galaxy is expected to collect the most coins from the box office this weekend, early reviews might damage its chances of reaching the heights of its predecessor. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has only earned a 42% score from critics, with the consensus on the site reading, “While it’s nowhere near as thrilling as turtle tipping your way to 128 lives, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is a colorful — albeit thinly plotted — animated adventure that has about as many Nintendos as Nintendon’ts.”

However, Collider’s Ross Bonaime was more positive in his review of the sequel, praising Donald Glover and Brie Larson‘s new additions, saying, “Regardless of anything else, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is a pretty impeccably cast movie from top to bottom.” The film’s debut in theaters has encouraged millions to head back to the first outing to get a taste of what’s to come, which has led The Super Mario Bros. Movie to become one of the ten most-streamed movies on Peacock in the U.S., at the time of writing.

Against a reported budget of $100 million, The Super Mario Bros. Movie earned over $1.3 billion worldwide, split between a domestic haul of $575 million and a further $784 million from overseas markets. In doing so, the film became the highest-grossing video game adaptation of all time, capitalizing on the global adoration for the source material. With the sequel facing a similar initial response from critics, only time will tell whether it can pull off the same sort of record-breaking box office run as its predecessor.

Jack Black enlisted some star-studded helpers to bring Saturday Night Live’s Five-Timers Club back to life.

The School of Rock star, 56, made his historic fifth appearance as an SNL host on Saturday, April 4, which meant that he’d gained entry in the show’s historic Five-Timers Club lounge — but there was a hitch.

Fellow Five-Timers Club member Jonah Hill crashed the monologue to explain to Black that something was wrong in the Club. The duo raced to the Five-Timers Club lounge, only to find it covered with cobwebs and other spooky regalia.

“There’s evil lurking around every corner,” Black warned, before a voice replied, “No, it’s just me.”

Six-time Saturday Night Live host Tina Fey then stepped out of the shadows wearing a freshly-minted SNL UK one-timers jacket for hosting the series premiere of the British spinoff two weeks ago. (Fey joked that the SNL UK one-timers club jacket was lined with the fur of Paddington Bear.)

“I wanted to congratulate you on a historic night. You’re officially the first Black in the Five-Timers Club,” Fey quipped, in reference to SNL’s less-than-diverse hosting history.

(Dwayne Johnson is the only nonwhite member of the Five Timers Club yet, though Chris Rock, Maya Rudolph and Charles Barkley have all hosted multiple times.)

As the trio tried to figure out how to revive the Five-Timers Club lounge, they were joined by fellow five-time SNL host Candice Bergen and six-timer Melissa McCarthy. Jack White — the night’s musical guest — even dropped by for a quick cameo to celebrate his own fifth time performing solo on Saturday Night Live.

“The five-time musical guests only have their parking validated for 15 minutes so I have to move my hearse,” White, 50, quipped before walking off.

Black finally decided that he needed a rocking musical number to fully revive the Club, so he called on all of the former hosts, White and “a choir of marching wizards” to join him for a revamped cover of the White Stripes’ 2003 classic “Seven Nation Army.”

“I’m gonna make it right. The five-timer army gonna lift the curse,” Black sang. “We got Jack Black and White, he’s shredding his axe while I sing the next verse.”

As all of the classic SNL hosts danced around him on stage, Black declared, “I can’t believe this is really happening. Am I in heaven?”

Thank You!

Bergen, Steve Martin, Buck Henry, Elliott Gould and Chevy Chase were among the earliest members of the Five Timers Club but the first actual sketch occurred in 1990 when Tom Hanks joined.

Black made his SNL debut as a special guest with his Tenacious D bandmate Kyle Gass in May 1998. He hosted for the first time in January 2002.

Saturday Night Live continues on NBC April 11 at 11:30 p.m. ET with guest host Colman Domingo and music from Anitta.

Apple TV has become the go-to streaming site for quality sci-fi content. In the past five years, the streamer has delivered critically acclaimed, mind-bending series such as the winner of ten Primetime Emmys, Severance, and dystopian gems that rival the very best must-see shows, such as Silo. Right now, perhaps the most exciting sci-fi series proving popular on the platform is Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, the Godzilla spin-off that first debuted to great acclaim in 2023.

Starring father-son duo Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell, Pachinko star Anna Sawai, Flatliners‘ Kiersey Clemons, and more, the second season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters premiered in late February and instantly rose to the top of the streaming charts. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Season 2 boasts a “certified fresh” rating of 79% from critics and a positive 71% from audiences. The critics’ consensus on the site reads, “Against all odds, Monarch continues to pack a striking gut-punch of action-drama by embracing its Legacy of Monsters‘ talent and leading with a cast of rich and complex characters.“

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters hasn’t just been well-received on Rotten Tomatoes, with Collider’s review of the second season by David Caballero dubbing it “another solid building block in the MonsterVerse,” adding that “the hope is that Monarch: Legacy of Monsters returns for Season 3.” Now, as Season 2 enters its final few episodes, the explosive sci-fi favorite has hit a monster streaming milestone. At the time of writing, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters has surpassed 250 consecutive days on the Apple TV streaming charts in the U.S.

Elle Macpherson has starred in a new modeling campaign at age 62.

The Australian supermodel partnered with designer Bonds to showcase its Bases Flex bra and underwear, posing in the color Cotton Kiwi Kiss in an Instagram post on Saturday, April 4.

Macpherson said in a statement that partnering with Bonds for its “Let’s Talk About Flex” campaign was all about encouraging people to embrace their “real self.” She also credited the campaign with helping her celebrate her “inner flex.”

“My inner flex is doing what feels right for me,” she explained. “That cheeky, give-it-a-go Aussie attitude has been part of my career and life journey from the start, so flexing in my knickers for this Bonds campaign really resonated with me, and felt like something to truly celebrate.”

The former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue covergirl first announced her collaboration with Bonds in February by posing in a variety of one and two-piece ensembles for the designer.

“Let’s Talk about Flex.. Bases Flex redefines what it means to really feel confident and at home in your true self,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “I find an effortless, deep-down sense of ease and authenticity in @bondsaus Bases Flex collection.”

Macpherson began her modeling career in 1982 and hit the stratosphere within the industry by the end of the decade. She has appeared on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue a record-setting five times throughout her career.

She stepped away from the fashion industry to raise her two children and focus on other businesses in the late 1990s. (Macpherson shares sons Flynn Busson and Aurelius Cy Andrea Busson with her former partner Arpad Busson. The model and Arpad split in 2005 after nine years together.)

In 2017, Macpherson was diagnosed with breast cancer after undergoing a lumpectomy. She was advised to have a mastectomy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and breast reconstruction surgery but opted for a “intuitive, heart-led, holistic approach” instead.

“It was a shock, it was unexpected, it was confusing, it was daunting in
so many ways,” she told Women’s Weekly in 2024. “And it really gave me an opportunity to dig deep in my inner sense to find a solution that worked for me. … I realized I was going to need my own truth, my belief system to support me through it. And that’s what I did. So, it was a wonderful exercise in being true to myself, trusting myself and trusting the nature of my body and the course of action that I had chosen.”

While Macpherson did not necessarily recommend alternative medicine in all cases, she said she learned from her cancer battle that there are “absolutely no guarantees.”

“I chose a holistic approach. Saying no to standard medical solutions was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. But saying no to my own inner sense would have been even harder,” she wrote in her 2024 memoir, Elle.

The Batman and Robin star went on, “Sometimes an authentic choice from the heart makes no sense to others … but it doesn’t have to. People thought
I was crazy but I knew I had to make
a choice that truly resonated with
me. To me, that meant addressing emotional as well as physical factors associated with breast cancer. It 
was time for deep, inner reflection. And that took courage.”

Following her cancer battle, Macpherson made a triumphant return to the runway after a 14-year hiatus as part of the Melbourne Fashion Festival in March 2024. She strutted down the catwalk during the Triumphant x PayPal runway, wearing a pale yellow belted trench coat and matching yellow trousers by Bianca Spender and, later, a Victoria & Woods brown jumper, dark rose-colored silk trousers and a long brown wool coat.

“Grateful to be asked to walk @paypalau for @melbfashionfestival – so good to be back home supporting Australian designers – Thankyou @paypalau,” she wrote via Instagram at the time.

The 1951-53 series City Hospital launched the era of the medical drama, a genre that has had so many entries throughout television history that it’s easy to lose track of the more prominent ones, such as Dr. Kildare, St. Elsewhere, Quincy M.E. The lone exception may be Grey’s Anatomy, a series one can’t lose track of simply because it refuses to die. Marcus Welby, M.D., a forgotten series that had a successful 7-season run between 1969 and 1976, reignited one career, launched another, and served as a stepping stone for the likes of Tom Selleck and William Shatner.

‘Marcus Welby, M.D.’ Places People Over the Problem

Marcus Welby, M.D., like Nip/Tuck, Private Practice, and Virgin River that followed, centers on the dynamic between medical professionals who share a practice together. In this case, that practice is shared by two family doctors who operate out of a home in Santa Monica, California: Dr. Marcus Welby (Robert Young), the older, fatherly figure, and Dr. Steven Kiley (James Brolin), the handsome young doctor. Serving as the efficient secretary, nurse, and confidante for the pair is the kindly Consuelo Lopez (Elena Verdugo).

The show defies expectations right off the bat, with the elderly Welby being the one willing to test new, unconventional ways of treatment, while his younger companion tends to stick to the book. Yet they share an engaging, healthy respect for one another, and, most importantly, prioritize the patient and their connection with them. That personal and compassionate engagement is fostered by the family practice angle, which also allows for a broad range of maladies-of-the-week and a degree of authenticity.

‘Marcus Welby, M.D.’ Launches and Relaunches, Careers

Audiences certainly did respond, making Marcus Welby, M.D. the most popular television show in the U.S. for a time, thanks largely to its two leads. For Robert Young, the series relaunched a career that exploded with his role as the titular parent in Father Knows Best. When that series ended in 1960, Young entered into a brief semi-retirement, one he didn’t particularly care for but necessitated to a degree by his own personal struggles with alcohol. The immediate success of Marcus Welby, M.D. launched him back into the spotlight, with the fatherly Welby serving as a comforting callback to his days as Father Knows Best‘s Jim Anderson.

Dr. Kiley launched James Brolin into stardom, serving as his first major television role after a string of one-off appearances on shows like The Patty Duke Show and Batman. Over the course of the series’ seven seasons, Brolin would earn two Golden Globes and an Emmy for his portrayal, one Golden Globe over Young’s award wins for the same. It opened the door to a long, storied career for the actor, with highlights including The Amityville Horror‘s George Lutz, Peter McDermott in Hotel, and the voice of the ever-present narrator in Netflix’s Sweet Tooth.

For a handful of actors, Marcus Welby, M.D. was an important stepping stone in their acting careers. Tom Selleck appeared in two episodes, with the last a mere 5 years before his breakout role in Magnum P.I.. For David Cassidy, his appearance on the show came the same year as his breakout role as Keith Partridge on The Partridge Family, and for Tom Bosley, Marcus Welby, M.D. was one of a series of roles before landing his iconic role as patriarch Howard Cunningham in Happy Days.

In the case of William Shatner, the series was an important stepping stone to the second stage of his career, with his role as Dr. Bellings in a Season 4 episode among his first post-Star Trek: The Original Series roles. Beyond serving as a launching pad for a number of actors, Marcus Welby, M.D. has a legacy that can be seen in shows like New Amsterdam or The Resident, shows where the doctors have empathy and deep compassion for those in their care. It may be forgotten, but Marcus Welby, M.D. lives on, and as long as there are characters in medical dramas that place people first, it will continue to do so. Maybe even longer than Grey’s Anatomy.

Tori Spelling experienced a frightening moment on Thursday evening when a car accident in Temecula, California sent her and several children to the hospital.

The crash involved multiple vehicles and reportedly happened while the actress was driving with a group of kids inside her SUV, sparking concern about the safety of everyone involved.

Tori Spelling Involved In High-Speed Temecula Crash

Authorities were called to the scene shortly before 6 p.m. following reports of a serious collision in Temecula, a city located roughly 85 miles east of Los Angeles.

When officers arrived, they found two vehicles that had sustained visible damage after the crash.

A TMZ report indicates that Tori Spelling had been behind the wheel of an SUV when another car allegedly slammed into her vehicle at a high rate of speed.

According to information shared by law enforcement sources, the other driver may have run a red light while speeding through the intersection.

Images circulating online, though unconfirmed, appear to show significant damage to both vehicles involved.

One car reportedly had severe front-end destruction, while the SUV believed to belong to Spelling was missing sections of its bumper, lights, and parts of the undercarriage.

The actress was not alone during the incident. Sources claim that seven children were inside the vehicle at the time of the crash.

Four of them were her own children, while the remaining three were reportedly friends riding along with them.

Spelling And Kids Taken To Hospital

Emergency responders quickly evaluated everyone at the scene following the collision.

Although no arrests were made in connection with the incident, the situation was serious enough that several people were transported to the hospital.

According to reports, Tori Spelling, her four children, and the other kids involved were taken away in three separate ambulances.

Medical professionals later treated them for injuries that included cuts, contusions, and possible concussions.

Eyewitness footage obtained by TMZ captured Spelling speaking with officers shortly after the accident.

In the clip, the actress appeared animated while recounting what happened, gesturing with her arms as she explained the events leading up to the crash.

Authorities have since confirmed that an investigation remains ongoing as officials attempt to determine the exact circumstances that led to the collision.

Tori Spelling Previously Survived Another Crash

For longtime fans of the “Beverly Hills, 90210” star, the incident brings back memories of a similar scare from years ago.

In 2011, Spelling was involved in another car accident while traveling with two of her children.

At the time, she took to social media to explain what happened, writing, “Paparazzi chased me w/the kids 2school. I was trying to get away from him and had a pretty big accident. Took down whole wall of school.”

Spelling, who was pregnant when the 2011 crash happened, also revealed that other moms assisted her in chasing the paparazzi away.

Spelling’s Surprisingly Smooth Divorce

Tori Spelling shares and Dean McDermott built a large family during their nearly two-decade marriage, welcoming five children: Liam, 19, Stella, 17, Hattie, 14, Finn, 13, and Beau, nine.

The pair married in 2006, announced their separation in 2023, and officially finalized their divorce in November 2025. Despite the long history and public attention, Spelling described the process as unusually peaceful.

Speaking on her “misSPELLING Podcast,” she shared, “I am officially divorced. It’s been quite a journey.”

She went on to emphasize how smoothly everything unfolded, adding, “I gotta say, you guys, this is something never said – this was one of the easiest divorces in Hollywood.”

Doubling down on her perspective, the actress remarked, “You can quote me there. Screw it – take Hollywood out. This is one of the easiest divorces [ever].”

Reflecting on their time together, Spelling explained that their shared experiences may have helped ease tensions.

“Interesting because Dean and I were together 20 years, married 18,” she said. “And while we had our ups and downs and problems throughout our marriage, we’ve had absolutely no problems throughout the divorce.”

She also stressed that both she and McDermott remained focused on their children throughout the split, noting their intention to “step up and be there for the five humans we chose to create out of love and setting a good example.”

Tori Spelling Embraces Her ‘Power Era’

Following the divorce, Spelling is prioritizing personal growth rather than jumping back into the dating world.

In a March interview with PEOPLE, she made it clear that romance is not currently on her radar.

“I am not thinking about dating,” she shared. “I am in my power era and I’m rebuilding and reinventing and taking it to the next level.”

The actress described this period as a fresh start, saying, “And I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m back. This is my second chapter.’”

Instead of focusing on relationships, she is channeling her energy into expanding her professional ambitions.

As reports of Spelling’s terrifying car crash continue to make headlines, her fans would be hoping she, her kids, and the other children involved will be fine and fully recover from the horrible experience.

Apple TV is one of the best streamers when it comes to hot new shows that are almost guaranteed to be hits. There’s rarely a bad one among the bunch, and when it comes to the rest of 2026, along with popular returning shows, there’s a new slate of originals coming.

As is customary with Apple TV, these shows feature high-profile actors and storylines that will intrigue you from the premise alone. From a show starring Elle Fanning and Nick Offerman to another with Tatiana Maslany, as well as a reimagining of a popular movie from 1991 (and 1962) based on the novel The Executioners, there are tons of options.

‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles’ (April 15)

Image via Apple TV

The cast of Margo’s Got Money Troubles will pique your interest from the jump. The title character, played by Elle Fanning, is a single mother who, after getting knocked up by her college professor, turns to OnlyFans to make ends meet. In the process, she also reconnects with her estranged father while trying to raise her son with the help of her mom. Her parents are Shyanne (Michelle Pfeiffer), a former Hooters waitress, and Jinx (Nick Offerman), a retired professional wrestler, making for an interesting family dynamic, to say the least.

Margo’s Got Money Troubles is a comedy-drama with a modern-day premise, integrating the concept of online content creation as a new work-from-home revenue opportunity combined with the age-old struggle of being a single mom whose pregnancy upends your entire life and career trajectory. The show also stars Nicole Kidman as a mediator between Margo and her college professor and Greg Kinnear as Kenny, Shyanne’s very religious boyfriend. Given this tremendous cast, Margo’s Got Money Troubles is poised to bring in big viewership numbers. It’s off to a good start already, ahead of official release, with early reviewers giving the show a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score.

‘Widow’s Bay’ (April 29)

Image via Apple TV

Following a strong performance in Netflix’s The Beast in Me, Matthew Rhys is back on the small screen in Widow’s Bay. A comedy horror, the series centers around Tom Loftis (Rhys), the mayor of a small town in New England, whose residents are obsessed with superstitions and convinced the town is cursed. Despite the challenges he’s faced in trying to rejuvenate the community and the lack of respect from his people, Loftis is determined to revive this town. Who cares if it’s disconnected, with (gulp) no Wi-Fi and barely any cellular connectivity? It has charm!

But when Tom manages to start bringing tourists in to explore the beauty of the town, he begins to realize that the townspeople might have been right all along. There are some strange things happening there, and now, Tom has a completely new problem on his hands. The show, which has drawn comparisons to Twin Peaks, is 10 episodes long, and the first three episodes are out on premiere day. The creepy, ’80s-style sneak peek Apple TV released ahead of the show premiere gives off horror vibes, and the styling will remind you of both old ’80s infomercials and the cryptic teasers released for another Apple TV series, Pluribus. It’s odd, but the jumpscare moment is enough to draw you in and at least be curious enough to check out the show.

‘Unconditional’ (May 8)

This eight-episode thriller, which premieres with its first two episodes, is about a mother and daughter who go on vacation together but get caught up in criminal activities. Gail (Talia Lynne Ronn) is arrested for smuggling drugs in Moscow, and, of course, her mother, Orna (Liraz Chamami), does not believe the charges are valid. So, she fights tooth and nail to get her daughter out of this mess — but it won’t be easy. The more she fights, the deeper she gets into the criminal and corrupt underworld.

Tatiana Maslany is back on the small screen following her Emmy-winning role in Orphan Black and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. In this thrilling dark comedy, she’s Paula, a recently divorced mom who gets caught up in a murder. She’s already going off the deep end while trying to navigate co-parenting with her ex-husband, Karl (Jake Johnson), and his new girlfriend, Mallory (Jessy Hodges). She’s also having an identity crisis of sorts, trying to figure out her own life.

Essentially, Paula is coming apart at the seams, being pulled in every direction, all while trying to determine which direction is the right one for her. This murder case, which she ends up unwittingly involved in, could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Maslany is, of course, tremendous in the role opposite Dolly de Leon (Nine Perfect Strangers) as Detective Sofia Gonzalez investigates the case. Keep an eye out for 13 Reasons Why‘s Brandon Flynn and The White Lotus‘ Murray Bartlett in key roles as well.

‘Star City’ (May 29)

If you love For All Mankind, one of the most exciting Apple TV shows to binge-watch, you’ll appreciate Star City, a sci-fi drama that serves as its spin-off. Focusing on the Soviet Union, the show is named after the nickname for the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center and stars Rhys Ifans as the chief designer of the Soviet space program.

With eight episodes in the season, the first two out at once, Star City is described by Apple as a “propulsive paranoid thriller” that centers on a different perspective in the alt-history space race. Set in a different country, the series is a must-watch for fans of the flagship series.

‘Cape Fear’ (June 5)

You might remember Cape Fear, the 1991 Martin Scorsese movie starring Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange, and Juliette Lewis. That film, one of the most intense ’90s movies, was a remake of the 1962 film, which itself was based on the John D. MacDonald novel The Executioners. The same goes for the upcoming thriller drama Cape Fear, which stars Javier Bardem as Max Cady, the same character De Niro played in the original.

Max is a criminal who, after serving his time in prison, goes on the hunt for the public defenders who put him behind bars. They failed to present all the evidence in his case, thus potentially leading to an unfair trial and a sentence he feels he could have avoided. Anna (Amy Adams) and Tom (Patrick Wilson) are on the watch when they realize Max is not only out of jail — he’s also out for blood and payback. Alongside Bardem, Adams, and Wilson, Cape Fear also stars CCH Pounder (The Naked Gun) in a main role, along with Ron Perlman (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts), Ted Levine (Shutter Island), and Patrick Fischler (Paradise) in supporting roles.

‘Lucky’ (July 15)

With Anya Taylor-Joy, Annette Bening, and Timothy Olyphant in front of the camera and Reese Witherspoon behind it as an executive producer, Lucky is a crime thriller miniseries that will presumably tell its complete story in a single season. Taylor-Joy is the title character, a young woman who was raised in a life of crime and tries to leave her dark past behind her. But as is often the case with characters like her, she’s pulled back in for one final job before she can start over.

Based on the Marissa Stapley novel of the same name, the show has some big names behind it as well. Lucky was created by Jonathan Tropper, the man behind hit shows like Banshee, Warrior, and Your Friends and Neighbors, the latter of which also streams on Apple TV. Serving as co-showrunner alongside Tropper is Cassie Pappas, who has worked on shows like Silo, Griselda, and The L Word. Lucky sounds a bit like Ocean’s Eleven meets Money Heist, but we’ll have to wait and see.

Tori Spelling and seven children in her vehicle were reportedly hospitalized in California after a serious car crash this week.

Law enforcement officers arrived on the scene in Temecula, California, on Thursday, April 2, after the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, 52, was involved in a collision, per TMZ.

Law enforcement sources told the outlet that Spelling had seven children in her car — four of her own and three others — when they were struck by a vehicle that allegedly sped through a red light. TMZ reported that Spelling potentially managed to avoid serious injury to herself and the children with a last-second attempt to maneuver the vehicle out of the way.

All occupants from both cars were reportedly evaluated at the scene but no arrests were made. Footage from the aftermath showed Spelling speaking with officers in front of her damaged SUV.

(Spelling and McDermott, 59, were married for 17 years before separating in June 2023. They finalized their divorce in December 2025.)

Spelling was previously involved in a serious car accident while pregnant in 2011.

At the time, Spelling said she was trying to avoid photographers when she inadvertently crashed into her children’s elementary school with two of her kids — Liam and Stella — in the car. The podcaster was seemingly trying to reverse away from the school when the collision occurred.

“Paparazzi chased me w/the kids 2 school. I was trying to get away from him and had a pretty big accident. Took down whole wall of school,” she tweeted in June 2011.

The actress claimed that the photographer who allegedly caused the crash still tried to snap her picture in the middle of the wreckage.

“[The photographer] then STILL got out to try to get pics,” she alleged. “Ten school moms chased him away. What will it take? Someone dying for paparazzi to stop?”
