If you watch a lot of Hallmark holiday movies, you'll notice faces that reappear over and over again. Hallmark is nothing if not reliant on safe, predictable storytelling, and this tendency extends to the people they hire to act in their made-for-tv films -- once you've proven that you can provide a stable, likable presence in a lead role, they'll keep on booking you. 

But while Hallmark male stars need to personify whatever romantic fantasy Hallmark is selling -- whether that's sensitive, or caring, or supporting, or rugged, or good at fighting fires -- their actresses have an altogether different responsibility. Since a large portion of the Hallmark viewership is made up of women, these actresses need to be aspirational and, above all else, relatable. We need to be able to see ourselves in them, which isn't as easy a task as it sounds. So when they find a performer who can do it well,...

Actress Torrey DeVitto is a mom! The Chicago Med alum quietly welcomed her first baby with her husband Jared Lapine late last month. The news was revealed in a post shared by her husband back in November.

In her latest Instagram post, the One Tree Hill alum shared a black and white photo of her husband holding their newborn. The post was to honor the actress’s husband for his birthday. Over on Jared’s profile, a post from November revealed details about the couple’s newborn. The couple welcomed their first baby, a daughter, on November 21st. They chose to name her Lyle–Josephine Alina Lapine. Torrey commented on her husband’s post, “Already the best dad there ever was !”

There's so many new shows that come our way every year. And while you do get comfortable with the series' that you become a fan of, it's never wrong to tune into something new. Many times, the trailers for a show will look intriguing, but then when the season is here it's a disappointment. HBO and Max had a few examples of that this year. Here's 4 HBO and Max shows from 2024 that let us down.

The Girls on the Bus

Despite its stellar cast, unfortunately that wasn't enough to keep our interest when it comes to The Girls on the Bus on Max. Frankly, the show was boring even though it did seem like an interesting premise with four female journalists on the presidential campaign trail. Of course each of them is also dealing with personal conflicts. Though overall, they weren't interesting enough to keep us invested in the story.

Plot: Two exes unknowingly date a pair of siblings, and are forced to spend Christmas weekend together. They rekindle their friendship by helping each other out through the anxiety of typical “holiday family drama,” but will sparks fly again?

Review: Want to curl up with a blanket, a furry friend, or a loved one? Sit back, get cozy and whip up some hot chocolate because Netflix’s Our Little Secret was recently released, and will definitely give you the feels if you love a good holiday rom-com! This one teams Netflix Christmas staple Lindsay Lohan with Ian Harding from Pretty Little Liars, with Wicked‘s original Glinda, Kristin Chenoweth, and Lindsay’s old Mean Girls foil, Tim Meadows, thrown in for good measure.

One has to hand it to Lindsay Lohan- she’s in the middle of one heck of a comeback. Carrying the hat of the film’s producer,...

Just in time for Halloween, a trailer for the BuzzFeed Studios-produced comedy thriller F Marry Kill made its way online (you can watch it in the embed above), and at that time the film was set to receive a digital, VOD, and limited theatrical release on December 6th. Since then, the release was pushed back to sometime in March in an effort to align the domestic release with its international roll-out… but some of the PVOD platforms didn’t get the message. As Deadline reports, F Marry Kill reached some digital stores and PVOD on December 6th, then disappeared a few hours later. So if you managed to catch the movie during that brief window last Friday – congratulations, you got a special sneak peek! If you didn’t catch it, there’s still three months left to wait for it.

Sarah Drew dubbed A Carpenter Christmas Romance as “sexy Christmas” as she penned the movie’s script for Lifetime. The holiday movie is also executive-produced by Drew and is Nsfw. Meanwhile, the movie stars Sasha Pieterse and Mitchell Slaggert and will premiere on December 21. Read on to learn more about the movie and its cast, and enjoy a trailer.

According to the Futon Critic, the Sarah Drew penned movie A Carpenter Christmas Romance tells the story of Andrea, a novelist who wants to do something her fans don’t want her to. She plans to kill off her main character in her series of novels, which has upset her fan base badly. In fact, they refuse to accept it. Due to this, the pressure is on for Andrea, who...

Exclusive: Lionsgate’s Lucy Hale comedy-mystery F*** Marry Kill hit digital store shelves and PVOD this past Friday, December 6 — then disappeared a few hours later. We heard all the noise from genre fans.

What went on here? Is Lionsgate’s AI to blame? No, not at all.

Apparently, the R-rated Laura Murphy-directed title originally was scheduled for a December 6 drop, and fans were expecting it. But the release date changed a few weeks ago, and that message clearly didn’t get through to the PVOD platforms, hence the glitch.

Lionsgate isn’t burying or short-changing the movie, which is coming out via its theatrical day-and-date release label Lionsgate Premiere Releasing. The release-date change is an effort to align the movie with its international roll\out in March. We’re told that a recent screening, the filmmaker announced to attendees that they could expect to see F*** Marry Kill in March.

Hallmark Channel’s Sugarplummed debuts tonight at 8/7c and it’s a holiday movie that swerves sweetly and in a good way, from the syrupy, stereotypical formula fans have come to expect. The rom-com stars Maggie Lawson from Psych and Janel Parrish from Pretty Little Liars. All in all, Sugarplummed is a delightful, fun movie that doesn’t disappoint.

Hallmark Channel’s Sugarplummed Holiday Movie

Which is not to say that we don’t love Hallmark’s holiday fare—what would the season be without it? Some viewers wait all year to sample the channel’s delicious holiday offerings and we’re one of them!

But now and then Hallmark puts out a unique movie, one that strays from the expected formulaic magic, and Sugarplummed is definitely in this category. The movie is firmly family-oriented, so no worries there.

Likewise, the characters learn important lessons, there’s plenty of sugary snow and gingerbread houses,...

Janel Parrish stars as the title character Sugarplum in Hallmark Channel’s new movie Sugarplummed and it is her latest holiday film for the network.

The 35-year-old actress is best known for her role as Mona in the Freeform series Pretty Little Liars and the spin-off series The Perfectionists, as well as her role as Margot Covey in all three of Netflix’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before movies.

Hallmark Channel’s Sugarplummed is one of those holiday movies that messes with the stereotypical formula. It stars Maggie Lawson from Psych and Janel Parrish from Pretty Little Liars. And it’s fun, sweet, and about as meta as a Hallmark Media movie can get.

Not Your Typical Holiday Movie

Every once in a while, Hallmark loves to release a different kind of movie—one with a higher concept that defies the average holiday flick. Sugarplummed is one of those. It’s magical and super meta, yet it’s still sweet and family-oriented. Lessons are learned, snowballs are thrown, gingerbread houses are made, relationships are repaired, cookies are baked, and Christmas trees are decorated.

Synopsis: When Emily (Maggie Lawson) wishes for a perfect Christmas like the ones found in the popular “Sugarplum” movies, she’s shocked when Sugarplum (Janel Parrish) herself appears to help her fulfill it.

Is anyone even watching young adult TV anymore?

As the entire television ecosystem has been upended in recent years, dedicated spaces for YA content have all but disappeared. The CW swiftly cancelled nearly all of its scripted series, many of which targeted this audience, over the last few years. Freeform has done the same.

The streamers have largely taken up the mantle on speaking to young audiences, but still questions remain. With the rise of short-form content thanks to TikTok and YouTube, does this new generation of teens and young adults even care for longform, scripted content? How can streamers compete for Gen Z’s attention in such a fractured landscape?

“I don’t think the demand is dwindling,” Greg Berlanti, who has produced some of the most culturally relevant YA content of the past two decades from Dawson’s Creek to Riverdale, told Deadline. “There will always be a place for great YA.

There's so much good television out there. But with so many options to choose from and produced, you're also going to get some that aren't so great ever year. It's no surprise. Sometimes, there's shows that are good, but certain elements of it just don't fit your vibe as a viewer. Or sometimes, even the finale let's you down. With the end of the year approaching, we're taking a look back at what it had to offer. Here's our list of the 5 most frustrating shows of 2024.

It's truly a shame Dark Matter on Apple TV+ made our list, because this show actually started out really good. I think it had a fresh premise and really took the idea of alternate realities and sci-fi rules to another level. However, it was the last few episodes that really lost me and made it frustrating as a viewer.

Gina Girolamo has signed a TV overall deal with Amazon MGM Studios under her newly-launched Strega Stories banner, Variety has learned exclusively.

Girolamo was previously the head of television for Alloy Entertainment, which has been a division of Warner Bros. Television since 2012. Girolamo most recently served as executive vice president of television. It was reported earlier this year that she would be departing Alloy in June with the expiration of her contract.

“Gina Girolamo is a highly respected producer with exceptional creative instincts, who has been a part of so many series that resonate with audiences in profound ways,” said Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios. “We are delighted to work with this amazing dynamo at Amazon MGM Studios under this new deal and can’t wait to see what she creates for our Prime Video customers.”

Looking at the whole Wolf Universe of TV, one aspect of the justice system is untouched — cops on the beat, doing the hardest work to bring down the bad guys.

They’re the officers who take chances with unknown suspects, chasing them down and asking tough questions.

The new, original movie Sugarplummed is a fun and magical tale of how to have the perfect Christmas. According to TV Insider, Emily (Lawson) has one Christmas wish, and that is to create the perfect Christmas. However, while she meticulously plans every detail year after year, she always feels she is falling short.

However, this year, Emily is determined...

When they said “the more, the merrier,” they definitely didn’t have this in mind. In Our Little Secret (now available on Netflix), Lindsay Lohan finds herself trapped in exactly the type of holiday getaway she was hoping to avoid: a week with her ex-boyfriend Logan, played by Pretty Little Liars alum Ian Harding. The bickering duo will have to learn to live with each other when they discover an unfortunate conundrum that forces them to spend Christmas together. So, what’s that little secret?

“The movie is about a girl who’s dating someone, and she goes to meet his family for the holidays,” Lohan tells Tudum. “Then she bumps into her ex, who is dating her boyfriend’s sister. And all kinds of stuff breaks loose.”

Lohan is quickly becoming a holiday rom-com fixture on Netflix; in 2022, she starred in Falling for Christmas, and earlier this year she...

It shouldn't come as a shock to learn that the top rated movie on Netflix at the moment is a holiday flick, but you might be pleasantly surprised to learn that the festive rom-com drawing the most eyeballs on the streamer right now, "Our Little Secret," features Lindsay Lohan. The "Mean Girls" star has been making a bit of a comeback of late via Netflix movies like "Falling for Christmas" and "Irish Wish," but she's earning particularly enthusiastic notices from critics for her portrayal of Avery, whose visit to her potential in-laws for Christmas gets complicated when she discovers her significant other's sister is dating her ex-boyfriend Logan (Ian Harding).

It's a recipe for yuletide disaster, and director Stephen Herek (the kids hockey classic "The Mighty Ducks") serves it up with all the hackneyed trimmings people seem to crave from holiday movies at this time of year. There's nothing wrong with that,...

If you were a fan of the 1999 cult classic “Cruel Intentions,” by now you’ve likely already devoured its TV adaptation, which dropped Nov. 21 on Prime Video.

With the “Cruel Intentions” series leaving off just before Caroline Merteuil (Sarah Catherine Hook) has a total fall from grace, Hook and her costars, Zac Burgess and Savannah Lee Smith, are all in to continue the twisted story in a potential Season 2, despite not yet scoring a renewal from the streamer.

In the meantime, there’s plenty of scandalous, soapy shows that might fill the “Cruel Intentions” void, from edgy 2000s classics like “Gossip Girl” and “Pretty Little Liars” to recent releases like “Tell Me Lies” and “The Sex Lives of College Girls.”

Going home for the holidays can be messy, but it certainly gets way messier if you unexpectedly run into your ex.

Why would that happen? Well, in the case of Avery (Lindsay Lohan) and Logan (Ian Harding) in Netflix’s latest Christmas offering “Our Little Secret,” the answer is sheer coincidence. As it turns out, the two are now dating a pair of siblings, unbeknownst to them.

Avery and Logan have been split for a long time, but you know what happens when Christmas comes along…

Step aside rom-coms and simple comedies, because we have a Christmas…wait, I don’t know what to call this one. Lindsay Lohan makes her annual comeback to Netflix with a handsome hunk who was probably your high school crush, this time with Ezra from Pretty Little Liars. Yeah, never thought I’d see this day coming, but here we are. Guess we’ve moved on from the Glee stars for this year. Oh, wait, no, because Kristin Chenoweth is in this movie as a mom. Our Little Secret tells the story of exes Avery and Logan, who run into each other 10 years after breaking up and have to spend the holiday together because they’re dating siblings. Yes, the idea of becoming a weird kind of in-law with your ex doesn’t sound very amusing to me, but it seems the writers of this film might’ve thought it would be really funny.

Hallmark’s Sugarplummed promises the perfect Christmas. This Countdown To Christmas movie stars Pretty Little Liars alum Janel Parrish and Psych star Maggie Lawson. This magical holiday movie also stars Brendon Zub and Neemish Parekh.

“When Emily wishes for a perfect Christmas like the ones found in the popular Sugarplum movies, she’s shocked when Sugarplum herself appears to help her fulfill it.”

I’m perfectly capable of enjoying a cheesy Lindsay Lohan Netflix rom-com. Last year, I liked “Irish Wish,” and got tweaked for it. (I stand by the affection.) But “Our Little Secret,” Lohan’s new Christmas rom-com, is crumpled tinsel of a different order. I’m tempted to say that it achieves full Netflix cookie-cutter. I cringed, I grimaced, I said “No!…,” I forced myself to stop looking at how much time there was left.

Every rom-com needs that love-story MacGuffin known as the Thing That Keeps Our Two Romantic Co-Stars Apart. But part of the weird ineptitude of “Our Little Secret” is that it doesn’t have that thing. An animated prelude shows us that Avery (Lohan) and Logan (Ian Harding) grew up together, became inseparable friends, fell in love…and it was all good. But then we cut to 2014. The two are adults, and Avery is leaving for an unspecified job in London.

Dancing With the Stars viewers were on edge on Tuesday night (November 19) as the remaining five couples battled for a spot in next week’s season finale. However, it turned out there was no reason to worry. Tuesday’s episode saw two dances from each remaining couple, including Chandler Kinney & Brandon Armstrong, Joey Graziadei & Jenna Johnson, Stephen Nedoroscik & Rylee Arnold, Danny Amendola & Witney Carson, and Ilona Maher & Alan Bersten. It was a big night for Pretty Little Liars alum Kinney and Bachelor star Graziadei, as they both showed why they were frontrunners with near-flawless performances. Both dancers earned cumulative scores of 58. Rugby pro Maher wasn’t far behind, with a cumulative score of 57. Meanwhile, gymnast Nedoroscik and football star Amendola fell to the back of the pack. Amendola finished with a cumulative score of 54, while Nedoroscik and his partner landed at the bottom of the leaderboard with 53. At the end of the night,...

In Tuesday night’s episode of “Dancing With the Stars,” each of the five remaining couples performed one ballroom dance and one Latin dance but only four earned enough points and votes to go on to next week’s finale… at least that’s how the show usually works.

The elimination came down to the two Olympic athletes: Ilona Maher and Stephen Nedoroscik… but, in a repeat of Season 32, no one was sent home before the finale. Which means all five couples will be competing in the finale.
