The cast of Felicity is meeting up at the ATX TV 2018 Festival for their 20th anniversary, and the vibe is very: “Get your phones out for a big announcement.” It’s sort of like a marriage proposal on Christmas—everyone will already be there, so let’s do it.
In the past few years, we’ve seen the Tanner Family, the Conner Family, and Cory Matthews and Topanga return to television. And now Clarissa might be coming back, right on time to when scrunchies are officially cool again.
Is there any movie from at least a decade ago that Hollywood won’t remake? Pretty sure not. And that includes, obviously, movies that are themselves remakes.

As fans learned in Season 6 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, its darkest and arguably best season (don’t @ me), Buffy should be allowed to rest in peace. To resurrect her would be a cruel and ultimately selfish act. So, of course, network execs want to do it.

There’s bad, there’s so bad it’s good, there’s so bad it’s gone past good and back to bad, there’s excruciating white heat on genitals, there’s eyeball rupturing, and then there’s the Dirty Dancing remake that aired on ABC last night. Wow, just wow. The entire idea of this needless update seemed to be to hit all of…
Hold onto your petticoats and gather your pickled limes: Yet another Little Women remake is in the works.
Lifetime’s first teaser-trailer for its Beaches remake is the visual equivalent of a slumber party group sob. There are hugs (so many hugs). There’s a beautiful child with a single tear meandering down her face. There’s ye olde slow-motion run through a hospital corridor.
Some delightful news: Ice Cube is teaming up with Disney and Tommy Kail, the Tony-award winning director of Hamilton for a “modern and musical” take on that old chestnut, Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist.
