Disney+ Shares New Art From Its Anime-Inspired ‘Dragon Striker’ Series, Sneak Peeked in Annecy (EXCLUSIVE)

Bryan Cranston spilled the beans on why Erik Per Sullivan, who played Dewey in Malcolm in the Middle, won’t be part of the show’s reboot—turns out he’s busy hitting the books at Harvard.

Editor’s Note: For fans excited about the Malcolm reboot, this is a bittersweet update. While it’s a bummer Dewey won’t be back, it’s cool to see the actor prioritizing his education. It also hints that the reboot might not reunite the full original cast, which could shape how the new version feels.

Noah Wyle, star and executive producer of the medical drama The Pitt, got a playful surprise during an interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show when host Jennifer Hudson teased him about his newfound internet fanbase. Wyle and EP John Wells also discussed how their show is helping revive interest in medical dramas—a genre that’s been quiet for a while.

Editor’s Note: Medical dramas used to dominate TV, but they’ve taken a backseat in recent years. The Pitt might be bringing them back into the spotlight, and Wyle’s charm (and viral appeal) certainly doesn’t hurt. For fans of ER-style tension and heartfelt storytelling, this could be the start of something fresh.

Jens Grede, the brains behind Skims and FRAME, just snagged a seat on United Talent Agency’s (UTA) board. Known for his sharp eye in consumer and media investments, Grede’s move signals deeper ties between fashion, talent, and entertainment—especially after his successful Skims launch with Kim Kardashian.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another exec shuffle. Grede’s board appointment hints at UTA’s push to blend fashion, celebrity, and media strategy—something Grede’s already mastered. For Skims and other brands he’s involved with, it could mean bigger cultural clout and fresh collaborations. Basically, expect more buzz where Hollywood and retail collide.

TikTok star and actor Vinnie Hacker—known for roles in Sakamoto Days and Hype House—just switched talent agencies, leaving CAA for WME. The move signals a bigger push into Hollywood for the social media heavyweight, who blew up in 2020 with viral content across platforms.

Editor’s Note: Agency jumps like this are a big deal in entertainment—they often hint at career pivots or bigger projects in the works. For Hacker, aligning with WME (which reps A-listers from Dwayne Johnson to Zendaya) suggests he’s serious about leveling up beyond viral fame. Keep an eye out for more TV/film roles (or maybe even a brand deal frenzy).

Netflix is keeping the conversation going with David Letterman, renewing his interview series My Next Guest Needs No Introduction for two more seasons. Season 6 will drop later this year, adding to the show’s existing five seasons and three specials. Each episode dives deep with a single high-profile guest, blending Letterman’s signature wit with thoughtful, long-form chats.

Editor’s Note: Letterman’s show has carved out a niche for itself in the crowded talk-show landscape by focusing on substance over soundbites. The renewal signals Netflix’s confidence in the format—and in Letterman’s ability to draw big names and meaningful conversations. For fans, it means more unfiltered, insightful interviews with cultural heavyweights. For Netflix, it’s a play to keep subscribers hooked on prestige, personality-driven content.
