In her 30 years at the Atelier Advertising agency, Monica (Lauren Graham) has climbed the ladder of success. As we meet her, she’s CEO, she’s winning industry awards and she’s working on a commercial for Boppin’ Burgers to run during the Super Bowl. She’s even throwing a party at the office for the launch of a new campaign for Vibezz headphones! As everyone gathers to watch it air on TV, Monica seems unaware of its deficits. Playing into stereotypes — a Black guy breakdancing to hip-hop; a monk listening to vaguely Eastern New Age music — is bad; closing the spot with the slogan “All Vibezz Matter” is much worse. The office’s social media team, all young twentysomethings, probably would have tried to stop this ad from getting to air if they’d been involved in the creative process, but they weren’t, which is a mistake the...

“The Z-Suite” isn’t the first time Lauren Graham has helped a new network launch one of its flagship shows.

“When we did ‘Gilmore Girls,’ The WB was pretty new, so I thought it was cool to be part of a new platform,” Graham told TheWrap. The mother-daughter comedy-drama was the 16th original series to premiere on The WB and later became one of its most popular shows.

“Back then, I don’t think I understood pressure in the same way,” Graham said. “I got to an upfront where they told us we were up against ‘Friends.’ I was like, ‘Oh, that’s the literal opposite of pressure because no one expects us to do anything numbers wise.'”

Twenty-five years later, Graham is back in a similar position as the lead of Tubi’s very first entry into the world of scripted television, “The Z-Suite.” But unlike in the 2000s,...

The live-action comedy series, led by “Gilmore Girls” star Graham, is Tubi’s first in-house series.

Out with the old and in with the new— for now. When a major blunder knocks an ad agency’s C-Suite executives off their top ladder rungs, the company’s rising Gen-z employees take the reins, testing both generations’ skills, patience, and competitiveness to be in charge. “Gilmore Girls” star Lauren Graham returns to TV as the star of “The Z-Suite,” Tubi’s first in-house live-action comedy series. The eight-episode series will premiere its first two episodes this Thursday, Feb. 6, with a new episode available every Thursday, available only with a subscription to Tubi!

Tubi is tackling the corporate age gap in its first original scripted comedy The Z-Suite, led by Gilmore Girls favorite Lauren Graham and Superstore vet Nico Santos. Created by Katie O’Brien, the series tracks the fall of advertising big shot, Monica Marks (Graham), whose house of cards with loyal exec Doug Garcia (Santos) comes tumbling down after a disastrous ad campaign fumble. Seen as out of touch in their approach, Monica and Doug are pushed aside for their Gen Z counterparts, giving social media manager Kriska Thompson (Madison Shamoun) a shot at the top. The concept proves that while generations may be very different in approaches, their struggles are ultimately somewhat similar as Monica and Doug face a new uphill battle and Kriska and fellow Gen Zers must adapt to the crushing weight of top-level responsibility. The project came to Graham in a hotel lobby when her agent called. “I always read things so fast,...

The Lake is a summertime family comedy that premiered on Amazon Prime Video on June 17, directed by Jordan Canning of Schitt's Creek. The series centers on Justin (Jordan Gavaris), a biological dad who is awkwardly trying to get to know his teenage daughter, Billie (Madison Shamoun), as he shows her the small community around the lake where he grew up. When Gavaris spoke with Complex about the series, he described it as "progressive without feeling preachy," since it features a diverse cast and LGBTQ+ characters.

Although this is the first scripted original series set in Canada for Amazon Prime Video, the cast consists of many recognizable actors including Julia Stiles, Terry Chen, Jon Dore, and Jerry O'Connell. While some of the actors are well-versed in the world of comedy, most of the cast has primarily acted in dramatic roles, and their characters on The Lake provide a pleasant surprise for fans of their previous work.

Exclusive: Prime Video’s first scripted Canadian Amazon Original series, The Lake, is getting a second season. Amazon has greenlighted another cycle of the half-hour comedy written and executive produced by Julian Doucet (Killjoys) and executive produced by Karen Troubetzkoy. Michael Souther and Teza Lawrence also executive produce for Amaze (Carter).

Based in part on Doucet’s life experience, The Lake centers on the quintessential Canadian cottage experience. Season 1 began with Justin (Jordan Gavaris) returning from living abroad after a break-up with his long-term partner, in the hope of reconnecting with the biological daughter who he gave up for adoption in his teens. His plans to create new memories with his city-loving daughter Billie (Madison Shamoun) at the idyllic lake from his childhood went awry when he found out his father left the family cottage to his “picture-perfect” stepsister, Maisy-May (Julia Stiles).

Cancellations/Renewals Scorecard: TV Shows...

Julian Doucet was always told that his life should be made into a movie or TV show after he’d tell anyone his story—he’s a gay man who was just 20 years old when he had a daughter. While he and the baby’s mother gave the baby up for adoption, they remained in her life.

“I always felt a little conflicted about it just because it’s not just my story,” Doucet told me recently over Zoom from his home in Montreal. “It also belongs to her so I kind of wanted to wait until she was an adult in some ways. So when she graduated from university, I kind of was like, ‘Maybe I can do that show now.’”

That show is “The Lake,” Amazon Prime Video’s first scripted Canadian original series that premiered in June. Jordan Gavaris (“Orphan Black”) stars in the eight-episode comedy as Justin,...

The Sticky is a half-hour series revolving around Ruth Clarke, a tough, supremely competent, middle-aged Canadian maple syrup farmer who’s had it with being hemmed in by the polite, bureaucratic conventions native to her country’s identity — especially now that Canada’s bureaucracy is threatening to take away everything she loves: her farm, her comatose husband and her right to freedom.

With the help of Remy Bouchard, a pint-sized local blockhead, and Mike Byrne, an aging low-level mobster, Ruth changes her fate — and transforms the future of her...
