I’m not embarrassed to admit that I consume all kinds of rom-coms: the good, the not-so-good, the somewhere-in-between. (I draw the line at anything that stars Ashton Kutcher. Hollywood: Please put Pedro Pascal on your rom-com leading-man shortlists. Many thanks in advance.) Anyway, I’ve sensed a shift of late. A change in the vibe. A subtle, faintly nostalgic perfume in the air: It’s not overpowering, like the glossy rom-com-a-minute marketplace of the 1990s and early aughts, but still bright and warm and mood-boosting. The box office success of Anyone but You ($218 million globally) and streaming hit Irish Wish (currently top 5 in Nielsen’s movie chart), the fresh deals being made, the rom-coms rolling out this year with big names attached — all this activity reflects audience enthusiasm for polished, character-driven entertainment with jokes, heart and wish fulfillment.

The popular Nathan Fillion cop series The Rookie was the last to get word yesterday with a Season 7 renewal after some intense negotiations with the show’s new lead studio, Lionsgate, which acquired The Rookie producer eOne in December. It joins recently renewed Grey’s Anatomy, 9-1-1 and Will Trent, with The Good Doctor and Station 19 ending their runs.
ABC, which did not introduce new scripted series this strike-impacted season (except for Fox transplant 9-1-1), has two drama series on deck for next season, Drew Goddard’s High Potential and Ryan Murphy’s Dr. Odyssey.

It’s a Not Dead Yet murder mystery! Season 2 Episode 5 of the ABC comedy will see Gina Rodriguez‘s Nell on the hunt for a possible killer after her latest obituary ghost, played by guest star Rob Corddry, warns that his death was no accident. And TV Insider has the exclusive first look at the episode. In the promo above, Coddry’s ghost tells Nell he was “pushed” to his death. “This could land me the front page!” the eager journalist replies. No one’s more thrilled by the murder mystery than boss Lexi (the hilariously camp Lauren Ash), who inserts herself into Nell’s investigation once she catches wind of this possible true-crime scenario. “Girls’ night? A night of girls solving a murder? I’m in,” Lexi excitedly says. Their suspected killer is played by Cedric Yarbrough, whom Corddry’s ghost (an accountant) says was not pleased about being audited.

“Wonka” (Warner Bros.) achieved something that the much bigger “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” didn’t. With the #1 spot again this week on VOD top 10s of iTunes, Google Play, and Vudu, it becomes the first film to do this since “Avatar: The Way of Water” last year.
It didn’t come without a challenge. “The Iron Claw” (A24), like the Roald Dahl-inspired musical priced at $19.99 (though to buy; “Wonka” remains rental only) when released on Tuesday, held the #1 spot at iTunes for five days before dropping down. It’s #2 as well at Vudu, with the always lagging Google Play showing it at #5.
Netflix saw a similarly close battle, with the original rom-com “Players” debuting on Valentine’s Day leading leading their top 10 for four days until Eli Roth’s “Thanksgiving,” the latest Sony release to initially stream on the platform, debuted. The Gina Rodriguez/Damon Wayans Jr. film was directed by Trish Sie.
It didn’t come without a challenge. “The Iron Claw” (A24), like the Roald Dahl-inspired musical priced at $19.99 (though to buy; “Wonka” remains rental only) when released on Tuesday, held the #1 spot at iTunes for five days before dropping down. It’s #2 as well at Vudu, with the always lagging Google Play showing it at #5.

Damon Wayans Jr. Thinks Sex Scenes in Movies Should be More Realistic: “It’s Wack a Lot of the Time”
Damon Wayans Jr. is revealing one thing he would change about romantic comedies.
The actor, who stars in the new Netflix rom-com Players, recently told Yahoo Entertainment that he feels sex scenes in movies should be more realistic.
“I think what I would lose is how good the sex is in all the movies because they’re always like rolling off each other, like, ‘That was crazy.’… It’s wack a lot of the time,” Wayans said. He added that he would prefer to see “stuff that happens in real life.”
The New Girl actor also admitted that he initially didn’t like the typical rom-com format, but after filming Players, alongside Gina Rodriguez, his perspective changed.
“I used to not like the idea of knowing how the movie is going to end from the beginning, but after doing this movie, I thought because this was such a fresh take on the rom-com,...

Liza Koshy is continuing her transition from internet standout to Hollywood actor. Her latest film role comes in Players, a romantic comedy that is now available to stream on Netflix.
Players stars Gina Rodriguez as a sportswriter who enjoys setting up hookups for her friends, including a co-worker portrayed by Koshy. Hijinks ensue when Mack falls for one of her “targets” and must decide how to pursue him. Beyond Rodriguez and Koshy, the film’s cast also includes Damon Wayans Jr. and Tom Ellis.
Koshy revealed her role in Players in June 2021, nearly three years before the film’s eventual release date. At the time, Koshy’s strong following on platforms like YouTube (where she currently has nearly 17 million subscribers) made her a popular choice for brand collabs and hosting gigs at events like the Met Gala and New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.
Since then, Koshy has offered intermittent updates on YouTube,...

Gina Rodriguez brings the charm as a sports fanatic dating in Brooklyn in an improvement on streaming romcom fare
Ever since Netflix declared the return of the moribund studio romcom with its “Summer of Love” in 2018, the company has churned out a steady stream of formulaic – or, to quote the burn in many a review, “algorithmic” – at-home fare. The genre didn’t so much reboot as mutate for a new streaming home with a now distinctive style: baseline watchable, sheen-y, disposable. I’ve reviewed probably a dozen of them and can only recall a handful. The few that have stuck – To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, Set It Up – have endured in large part because of its stars’ charisma, without which a romcom has little hope. Such was the case with 2019’s Someone Great, a middling movie elevated to memorable by the breezy charm of Gina Rodriguez.

Many romantic comedies utilize deception as a key plot point. However, for every film that incorporates an inciting fib with smarts and heart (from “While You Were Sleeping” to “You’ve Got Mail”), there are others that lack a similar savvy finesse (like “How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days” and “The Wedding Date”). “Players” competes in the latter league. Acting as a dumbed-down, gender-swapped kissing cousin to “Hitch,” it centers on a gal and her pals who know all the right moves to land hookups. Director Trish Sie’s middling and at times mawkish film not only makes us hate the game, but also its players.

ABC has set Chelsea Handler and Marla Gibbs to guest star in Episode 7 of “Not Dead Yet” Season 2.
“Not Dead Yet” stars Gina Rodriguez as Nell, a journalist who takes a job writing obituaries at the SoCal Independent and soon gains the ability to see and speak to ghosts.

Handler will play Sharon Darynson, the owner of the rival news station to the SoCal Independent and the long-time nemesis to Duncan Rhoades (Brad Garrett). While everyone else runs in fear of Duncan, Sharon refuses to be intimidated by him.
Gibbs — the mother of Angela E. Gibbs, who stars in “Not Dead Yet” as Cricket — will play Cricket’s mother, Nana Sugar, who becomes one of Nell’s (Gina Rodriguez) obituary subjects.

Love isn’t dead — and neither is the romantic comedy.

Whether it’s Valentine’s Day, whether you’re having a date night, or getting over an ex, there’s a title for every occasion.
