The eighth and final season of Netflix’s critically acclaimed, very adult animated series Big Mouth will premiere on May 23, 2025. The streamer confirmed the date and released the list of big-name guest stars set to help send off the Emmy Award-winning comedy.

Cynthia Erivo, Holly Hunter, Steve Buscemi, Kristen Wiig, Quinta Brunson, Nathan Fillion, and Ali Wong lend their voices to the show’s final season. Richard Kind, Maria Bamford, Keke Palmer, David Thewlis, Thandiwe Newton, Natasha Lyonne, Aidy Bryant, and Rosie Perez also guest star.

The guest star list also includes Lena Waithe, Billy Porter, Stephanie Beatriz, Whitmer Thomas, Chelsea Peretti, Chloe Fineman, June Diane Raphael, Zach Woods, Craig Robinson, and Jack McBrayer.

“In the eighth and final season of Big Mouth, our beloved Bridgeton teens tackle new challenges as high schoolers such as driving, drugs, sexual inexperience, enthusiastic consent, porn and the teenage mind, cancel culture, their changing bodies, and (in the end) fear of the looming future. Through it all, friendship is the cornerstone for surviving this time of life—whether one’s puberty is just beginning, like for Nick who gets his first growth spurt, or near its conclusion, like for a maturing (and prematurely balding) Andrew,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “At the height of the season, when many of our characters are in crisis, Compassion (personified as a new creature voiced by Holly Hunter), emerges as a crucial way forward.

Ultimately, though, this season is about the importance of sticking by and supporting your friends, especially when life gets overwhelming and messy. In the end, our kids step into the harrowing unknown of the future, made less afraid of what’s to come because they have each other.”

The 10-episode season features returning voice cast stars Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Jessi Klein, Jason Mantzoukas, Ayo Edebiri, Maya Rudolph, Fred Armisen, Andrew Rannells, and Jordan Peele. Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, and screenwriter-directors Mark Levin & Jennifer Flackett created the series and serve as executive producers.

Netflix’s The Golden Ticket teaser welcomes viewers to a competition beyond imagination. The Willy Wonka-inspired competition series is seeking applicants 18+ and living in the United States. The streamer hasn’t released filming details or a targeted premiere date.

“We are thrilled to bring the magic of The Chocolate Factory to life like never before,” stated Jeff Gaspin, Vice President of Unscripted at Netflix. “This one-of-a-kind reality competition blends adventure, strategy, and social dynamics, creating an experience that is as captivating as it is unpredictable. For the first time, a lucky few won’t just have to imagine the experience—they’ll get to step inside the factory and live it.”

Netflix picked up the Roald Dahl Story Company rights back in 2021, and The Golden Ticket is the streamer’s first dive into the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory world. Eureka Productions is producing the series.

Netflix released the following casting info:

“Lucky contestants will have the chance to enter Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, but there’s a catch—only players who find a coveted golden ticket will gain entry to the factory. But a golden ticket doesn’t guarantee a sweet ride once the gates open; only those who can adapt, strategize, and withstand the unknown will make it through. Set inside a retro-futuristic dreamscape, this high-stakes social experiment will challenge players not just physically, but mentally as they navigate games, tests, and temptations designed to probe their instincts, resilience, and ability to thrive in chaos.”

Fox’s critically acclaimed drama The Cleaning Lady returns for a fourth season with episode one, “My Way.” The network teases that this upcoming season’s shift in the dynamic between Ramona and Thony plays a big role in storylines when the new season premieres on Tuesday, March 25, 2025 at 8pm ET/PT.

Elodie Yung leads the cast as Thony, Santiago Cabrera plays Jorge, Kate del Castillo is Ramona Sanchez, Martha Millan plays Fiona, Faith Bryant is Jaz, and Sean Lew plays Chris. Recurring season four guest stars include Danny Pardo as El Don, Daniel Bonjour as Dr. Sean Dupont, Alain Uy as Feng, and Brian Norris as Cowboy Hat.

“My Way” Plot: With the FBI on Ramona’s case, it’s clear she’s not as powerful as she once was, but with a reputation like hers, she still has cards left to play. As the power dynamic between Ramona and Thony shifts, Luca gives Thony the confidence to take control. In the shadow of Ramona, Thony, and Jorge make big decisions to balance their double lives and changing relationships. The De La Rosas get big news that changes the family’s relationship forever.

The Cleaning Lady Description, Courtesy of Fox:

The Cleaning Lady returns for an action-packed season four, with the series’ beloved characters in ever-changing and increasingly dangerous situations. After three seasons of being a pawn caught between the FBI and the world of organized crime, THONY (Yung) makes the bold decision to take charge of her own destiny — by exchanging her cleaning lady uniform for the scrubs of a surgical intern at a small community hospital.

Thony’s return to the medical career she sacrificed for her son, LUCA (Sanchez), opens a new path to citizenship for them both. But to make this happen, she must continue her service to the Sin Cara cartel — not as a cleaning lady, but as the new mob doctor — bringing her ever closer to JORGE (Cabrera), the cartel’s brooding new leader. Under the watchful eye of the hospital’s brusque yet handsome chief resident, DR. SEAN DUPONT (Bonjour), Thony straddles the line between two worlds until they inevitably come crashing into each other.

Newly enthroned as the head of Sin Cara, Jorge has ambitious plans to take the cartel in a surprising, yet lucrative, direction. He’s invested Sin Cara’s assets into a rare earth mine worth billions. It’s easy, legitimate money that will result in generational wealth for them all. But the old dogs of the cartel are unwilling to learn new tricks from their upstart leader, which results in a fracture within the organization. Flanked by his lieutenants, the veteran EL DON (Pardo) and quirky newcomer FENG (Uy), Jorge must fend off a mutiny within Sin Cara, which threatens the lives of everyone he loves.

Even from within the walls of a maximum-security prison, former head of Sin Cara, RAMONA (Del Castillo) remains a threat. She continues to exert influence through her unpredictable proxy on the outside, the loner only known as COWBOY HAT (Norris). But she’s vulnerable on the inside. When a tough prison gang puts Ramona in their crosshairs, she must dig deep into her devious bag of tricks to find a way to survive.

Meanwhile, FIONA (Millan) struggles to keep her cleaning business afloat, leading her into the world of identity theft. CHRIS (Lew) learns the painful truth about first love and channels his raw emotions into an unexplored passion — dance. And JAZ (Bryant) deals with the difficulties of being the perfect child in a decidedly imperfect family.

The Cleaning Lady continues its exploration of the experience of undocumented immigrants and the hurdles they face in this country. The series tells their stories of resourcefulness in the face of institutional adversity and the sacrifices they must make to achieve their American dream.

Fox’s Alert: Missing Persons Unit kicks off season three with an episode that finds the MPU searching for one of their own. Season three episode one, “Bella, Genevieve, Amelia, Tally & Kate,” will air on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, at 9pm ET/PT.

Scott Caan and Dania Ramirez lead the season three cast as Jason Grant and Nikki Batista. Ryan Broussard plays Mike Sherman, Adeola Role is Kemi Adebayo, and Alisha-Marie Ahamed plays Wayne Pascal. Guest stars include Diana Bang as Helen Gale and Ian Tracey as Charlie McGannon.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner joins the series in a recurring guest-starring role as Chief Inspector Bill Houston. Per Fox: Houston steps into an interim role with oversight of the MPU. A former Army captain, Houston believes in structure and rules and, in the past, had issues with Jason’s cowboy tactics. He begins to come around to the idea that some rules need to be broken once he sees the results the team gets with their unorthodox approach. He will become the father figure MPU didn’t know they needed.

“Bella, Genevieve, Amelia, Tally & Kate” Plot: After a collegiate women’s rowing team goes missing during morning practice on the river, MPU deduce that their boat was sabotaged. When Kemi finds evidence connecting one of the girls to Irish mob boss, Charlie McGannon, Nikki confronts him as Jason and Mike interrogate a rival Polish mobster who may have intel on the girls location. Meanwhile, Jason explores his fear of commitment with Wayne, who’s now paroled.

Alert: Missing Persons Unit Season 3 Details

Alert: Missing Persons Unit is a procedural drama set in the Philadelphia Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit (MPU). Each episode features a heart-pounding, life-or-death search for a missing person, with Jason Grant working his magic out in the field and Nikki Batista heading the team. Their job is to find the missing or abducted and reunite them with their loved ones. Jason and Nikki, once married, have a very personal connection to these cases as their own son went missing and was never found.

Their highly skilled team includes Nikki’s new husband, Mike Sherman, whose bantering bromance with Jason never gets in the way of results; Kemi Adebayo, a spiritually savvy detective with an astonishing knowledge base; and Helen Gale, MPU’s effervescent young forensic scientist. Jason also relies on his relationship with master hacker Wayne Pascal, both on and off the clock.

As the third season begins, MPU is tasked with cases ranging from a missing female collegiate rowing team who disappeared while on the water, a missing street artist due to donate his rare bone marrow to save his dying brother, and Nikki’s ongoing and dangerous association with Irish mob boss Charlie McGannon. But the most harrowing case to date is when MPU must band together in a race to find one of their own. Now more than ever, together, the team must work to find the missing or abducted and help reunite them with their loved ones before it’s too late.

First Look: ‘Duster’ Series Teaser and Photos with Josh Holloway

Max has released new details along with photos and a teaser for two-time Emmy winner J.J. Abrams (Lost) and LaToya Morgan’s new series Duster, starring Lost‘s Josh Holloway. The drama is set to premiere on May 15, 2025, with new episodes of the eight-episode season streaming on Thursdays at 9pm ET/6pm PT.

Discussing reuniting with Holloway on a new project, Abrams told The Hollywood Reporter he called Holloway five years ago with a very specific question. “‘Would you ever want to do a show where you play a driver for some kind of criminal organization?’ And he’s like, ‘Yeah.’ So the whole time we were writing this, it was always with Josh in mind. He’s someone I just love working with. And with age, I think he’s gotten even more comfortable with his wry swagger and toughness, and also vulnerability and being unsure of himself. It’s a tough balancing act. He’s a great-looking guy, but he’s genuinely funny and big-hearted, and he brings that to the character.”

In addition to Holloway, Duster stars Rachel Hilson, Keith David, Sydney Elisabeth, Camille Guaty, and Asivak Koostachin. The cast also includes Adriana Aluna Martinez, Benjamin Charles Watson, and Abrams’ lucky charm, Greg Grunberg.

“Set in the 1970s Southwest, Duster explores the life of a gutsy getaway driver for a growing crime syndicate that goes from dangerous to wildly, stupidly dangerous when a tenacious young agent comes into town hellbent on taking his crime family down,” reads Max’s synopsis.

LaToya Morgan is the showrunner and wrote the first two episodes with Abrams. Morgan, Abrams, Rachel Rusch Rich, and Steph Green executive produce, with Green directing the first two episodes.
