Released on July 16, 2025, the trailer teases an epic showdown between the beloved gang and the sinister forces of the Upside Down.

Ego Nwodim Joins Star-Studded Cast of Netflix’s ‘Little Brother’ Comedy Feature

Netflix’s upcoming comedy Little Brother just got a major dose of comedic brilliance with the addition of Ego Nwodim, the Saturday Night Live standout known for her sharp wit and scene-stealing performances.

Directed by Matt Spicer (Ingrid Goes West) and penned by screenwriting duo Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel, Little Brother follows a high-powered real estate agent whose meticulously curated life is thrown into chaos when his eccentric younger brother unexpectedly reappears. The film promises a heartfelt and hilarious exploration of sibling dynamics, control, and the unpredictable nature of family.

Nwodim joins a powerhouse ensemble that includes John Cena, Eric André, Chris Meloni, Sherry Cola, Caleb Hearon, and Ben Ahlers. Her role in the film hasn’t been publicly detailed yet, but given her track record—from Poker Face to Mr. Throwback and her breakout SNL character “Lisa from Temecula”—audiences can expect a performance packed with charisma and comedic timing.

Behind the scenes, the film is produced by David Bernad (The White Lotus) and Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) under the Middle Child Pictures banner. With Spicer’s knack for dark comedy and emotionally resonant storytelling, Little Brother is shaping up to be one of Netflix’s most anticipated releases.

While the official release date is still under wraps, filming is reportedly underway in Montclair, New Jersey. If the cast chemistry and creative team are any indication, Little Brother could be the next big comedy hit to land on the streamer.

ABC’s ‘Abbott Elementary’ Scores Another Round of Emmy Nominations In 2025

ABC’s hit mockumentary-style sitcom Abbott Elementary continues its winning streak, earning multiple nominations at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, solidifying its place as one of television’s most beloved comedies.

Created by and starring Quinta Brunson, the series received its fourth consecutive nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series, joining a competitive lineup that includes Hacks, The Bear, and Only Murders in the Building. Though the show has yet to clinch a win in this category, its consistent presence signals enduring acclaim from both audiences and critics.

Brunson herself is once again nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, following her historic win in 2023, when she became the first Black woman to take home the award since 1981. Her portrayal of Janine Teagues—a passionate and slightly awkward second-grade teacher navigating the challenges of a Philadelphia public school—has become iconic.

Supporting cast members Sheryl Lee Ralph and Janelle James also earned nods for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. Ralph, who won in 2022, and James, now on her fourth nomination, continue to be recognized for their standout performances as Barbara Howard and Ava Coleman, respectively.

The show’s writing team, led by Brunson, is also nominated for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, marking another milestone for Black women in television. Brunson now ties the record for most writing Emmy nominations by a Black woman for a single series.

With the ceremony set for September 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, Abbott Elementary fans are hoping this year brings the show its first win for Outstanding Comedy Series. Whether or not it takes home the top prize, the nominations alone affirm the show’s cultural impact and its role in reshaping the landscape of network comedy.

Ray Dejon, Comedian And Comedy Producer, Passes Away

A New York comedian and comedy producer known as Ray Dejon has died just days short of appearing at a roast to mark his 64th birthday.

DeJon—who opened Brooklyn’s first Black-owned comedy venue, the Laffaholics Comedy Club, back in the early 2000s—passed away Monday. In the last video uploaded to his Instagram account, he encouraged fans to come on down to his scheduled Wednesday appearance at the roast, which was due to be held at the city’s 275ParkBK venue.

The comments section has since been flooded with well-wishers for DeJon’s family. “Part of my upbringing. Went to a lot of his shows. Great guy,” one person wrote. “So sad to hear this. Rest easy champ,” another added.

Though DeJon’s cause of death has not been made public, the comedian had been candid in the past about his experience as a stroke survivor, which had at one time left him paralyzed on the left side of his body. He also spoke about his battle to overcome substance addiction, working on the issue with at-risk young adults in his spare time.

He will be missed. Condolences to his family and friends.

  • HBO has ordered an untitled half-hour sketch comedy limited series from Larry David, produced by Higher Ground. The series, written by David and Jeff Schaffer, will feature a mix of some “Curb Your Enthusiasm” actors and noteworthy guest stars. Schaffer will also serve as director. 
     
  • President and Mrs. Obama wanted to honor America’s 250th anniversary and celebrate the unique history of our nation on this special occasion.
    …But then Larry David called.
     
  • Former President Obama, 44th president of the United States and executive producer, quote: “I’ve sat across the table from some of the world’s most difficult leaders and wrestled with some of our most intractable problems. Nothing has prepared me for working with Larry David.”
     
  • Larry David, executive producer, writer and star, quote: “Once ‘Curb’ ended, I celebrated with a three-day foam party. After a violent allergic reaction to the suds, I yearned to return to my simple life as a beekeeper, harvesting organic honey from the wildflowers in my meadow. Alas, one day my bees mysteriously vanished. And so, it is with a heavy heart that I return to television, hoping to ease the loss of my beloved hive.”
     
  • Amy Gravitt, Executive Vice President, Head of HBO & HBO Max Comedy Programming, quote: “It’s hard to remember a time before ‘Curb,’ or without Larry David’s perspective on modern life. We’re thrilled that Larry is coming back to HBO, this time with Higher Ground, to give us a glimpse at our shared history as we celebrate our Semiquincentennial.”
     
  • Jeff Schaffer, executive producer, writer, and director, quote: “The characters Larry is playing didn’t change history. In fact, they were largely ignored by history. And that’s a good thing.”
     
  • Credits: The series is executive produced by Larry David and Jeff Schaffer. For Higher Ground; executive producers are Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Vinnie Malhotra and Ethan Lewis.
