‘Happy Face’ Canceled at Paramount+ After One Season
NegativeEntertainment
Paramount+ has pulled the plug on Happy Face, the crime thriller from Robert and Michelle King, after just one season. The show, based on the chilling true story of Melissa Moore discovering her father was the serial killer known as "Happy Face," wrapped its first season in May. Despite its gripping premise, it didn’t secure a renewal.
Editor’s Note: For fans of true-crime dramas, this is a bummer—Happy Face had a dark, compelling hook but joins the growing list of shows axed too soon. It’s also a reminder of how streaming platforms are getting quicker to cancel underperformers, even with big-name creators attached. If you were holding out for a second season, time to mourn and move on.
'South Park' creators reach $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount
PositiveEntertainment
The creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, just inked a massive $1.5 billion deal with Paramount to bring the long-running animated series to Paramount+ in the U.S. This means fans will finally be able to stream new and old episodes of the show on the platform—a big win for both the studio and viewers who’ve been waiting for it to land on a major streaming service.
Editor’s Note: This deal is huge for a few reasons. First, it shows how much value studios place on iconic content like South Park in the streaming wars. Second, it locks down a major draw for Paramount+, which has been fighting for subscribers against giants like Netflix and Disney+. And for fans? No more hopping between platforms—South Park now has a (pricey) streaming home.
‘The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart Torches Paramount Over Colbert Axing: “Go F*ck Yourself”
NegativeEntertainment
Jon Stewart didn’t hold back on The Daily Show, tearing into Paramount (his own network’s parent company) for canceling Stephen Colbert’s Late Show. In a fiery monologue, Stewart mocked corporate fears over controversy and bluntly told executives to—well, let’s just say he wasn’t polite. It’s a rare moment of a host publicly trashing their own bosses, and it’s as entertaining as it is revealing.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about two comedy giants—it’s a flashpoint in the bigger fight over creative freedom vs. corporate control in entertainment. Stewart’s outburst highlights how networks, scared of alienating advertisers or audiences, might sideline even their biggest stars. For viewers, it’s a reminder that the shows they love often exist at the mercy of behind-the-scenes battles. And for the industry? Well, Stewart just threw a Molotov cocktail into the boardroom.
‘Happy Face’ Canceled By Paramount+ After One Season
NegativeEntertainment
Paramount+ has pulled the plug on Happy Face, the crime drama from creators Robert and Michelle King, after just one season. Starring Annaleigh Ashford and Dennis Quaid, the show wrapped its first season in May, but failed to gain enough traction to justify a renewal. While the cancellation might disappoint fans, it’s not entirely unexpected given the show’s lukewarm reception.
Editor’s Note: For streaming subscribers, this is another reminder of how quickly shows can disappear if they don’t hit the mark. Happy Face had a solid creative team and recognizable stars, but in the crowded true-crime space, even pedigree doesn’t guarantee survival. If you were holding out for a second season, time to mourn and move on—Paramount+ has already made its call.
Paramount Pictures and Ex-Studio Exec Sued by Two Former Employees Over Alleged Sexual Assault, Harassment
NegativeEntertainment
Two former employees are suing Paramount Pictures and a former studio executive, accusing him of sexual assault, harassment, and emotional abuse. One woman alleges assault, while both claim they endured ongoing mistreatment during their time at the company. The lawsuit also names Paramount Global, the studio’s parent company, suggesting broader accountability.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another Hollywood scandal—it’s a stark reminder of how power imbalances in the entertainment industry (and beyond) can enable abuse. With #MeToo still fresh in public memory, the case puts pressure on studios to address systemic issues, not just individual bad actors. For workers everywhere, it underscores the importance of holding employers accountable for fostering safe workplaces—or failing to.
