Why Isn’t A New Episode Of Rhobh On Tonight?

Last week on Rhobh, Kyle Richards decided it would be fun to throw a denim and diamonds party for her friends. She has been struggling now that she is essentially alone in her home. Only one daughter, Portia, is left and Mauricio Umansky has his own place away from her. She confessed on Wwhl that she had not been over to see it yet.

The year is almost done, Netflix fans. Every month there are some changes to what the giant streams, but something about beginning a new year feels different. Even if you have seen some of the following shows before, you have never seen them in 2025. Not yet anyway.

Netflix goes extra-heavy with new releases at the start of January. There will be new releases throughout the month, but nothing like January 1. You might want to work your monthly calendar around that day alone.

I Know What You Did Last Summer...

The premise of Jay Roach's 2000 hit comedy "Meet the Parents" (a remake of the 1992 indie film) is pure sitcom fodder. The movie follows the travails of Gaylord "Greg" Focker (Ben Stiller) as he is taken home to meet the family of his girlfriend, Pam (Teri Polo). Pam's parents, however, are rather intense. Her father is Jack (Robert De Niro), a former CIA spy who greets Greg with suspicion right away. Jack also seems to be sizing up Greg's masculinity, immediately put off by his name. It's not long before Jack has Greg hooked up to a lie detector, analyzing his intentions with Pam.

"Meet the Parents" was an enormous success, making over $330 million on a $55 million budget. Naturally, a sequel was required. Roach returned to direct "Meet the Fockers" in 2004, and it flipped the script on Jack. This time, Pam and Greg were about to be married, and Jack...

Lovers Anonymous (Tr) — Netflix Series

Cem, scarred by a childhood that crushed his trust in love, runs the “Love Hospital,” until Hazal, who believes in the power of love,...

Mayan Lopez, who stars with her dad George Lopez on the NBC sitcom Lopez vs Lopez (which the Lopez duo also created with showrunner Debby Wolfe), has signed on to join the cast of the supernatural coming-of-age thriller The Evilry, Deadline reports. Lopez will also be an executive producer on the film, which sees her taking on the role of Aimee, a character who runs a spiritual bookstore.

Back in August, it was announced that Stargirl star Brec Bassinger, who also has a lead role in the upcoming, long-awaited Final Destination sequel Final Destination: Bloodlines (a.k.a. Final Destination 6), had signed on to star in this film, with her co-stars set to include Elena Kampouris (Children of the Corn), Dylan Walsh (Superman & Lois), Marissa Reyes (Ganymede), Evan Ross (The Loneliest Boy in the World), Tony Pierce (The Bodyguard), and Teri Polo (the Meet the Parents franchise). In September,...

Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller are returning for Meet The Parents 4, continuing a franchise which has been tolerated since the start of the millennium.

Though Robert De Niro is quite rightly acclaimed as one of the greatest actors of all time, his forays into comedies have been mixed, to say the least. Analyze This and Analyze That did a good job of parodying his tough guy screen persona, and Midnight Run is one of the all time great buddy comedies. But in recent years, you really do have to wonder why he put his name to films like The Adventures Of Rocky And Bullwinkle and gross out comedy Dirty Grandpa. Cash, presumably.

His most successful foray into comedy – commercially if not critically – is easily the Meet The Parents franchise, which was a remake based on a 1992 independent film of the same name written by Greg Glienna (who directed) and Mary Ruth Clarke.

John Waters somehow can’t find funding for a new movie starring Aubrey Plaza, but Hollywood is apparently more than happy to throw millions of dollars at a fourth entry in the Meet the Parents franchise. At least we’ll finally have answers to all of those lingering mysteries from Little Fockers.

Yes, Deadline is reporting that original stars Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner are all in talks to appear in the movie, which is currently in development at Universal Pictures.

But we would like to offer a counterpoint: don’t. Don’t make any more of these movies.

The first Meet the Parents worked because it had a very simple, extremely relatable premise: a character meets their romantic partner’s parents and feels both intimidated and embarrassed. Most adults have experienced some version of this scenario. And Meet the Parents took that shared experience to comedic extremes,...

As a wise Focker once said, "You can milk anything with nipples." But in the case of the Meet The Parents franchise, turns out you actually just need Ben Stiller playing a man called Gaylord Focker and Robert De Niro playing his ever-alert, ex-CIA Father-In-Law Jack Byrnes. And having already encompassed a whole trilogy — Meet The Parents, Meet The Fockers, and Meet The Parents: Little Fockers — to date, it looks like the time has come to enter Focker-Byrnes' circle of trust once again. Per Deadline's reporting, a fourth film in the franchise is in the works at Universal Pictures, with Stiller and De Niro in early talks to return for more farcical family shenanigans.

Plot details on the fourquel remain hush-hush, at least for now, but as well as De Niro and Stiller circling comebacks for this one, we do know that longtime franchise co-writer John Hamburg is on script duties,...

Exclusive: Mayan Lopez has joined the cast of the supernatural film The Evilry.

The star of NBC comedy Lopez vs. Lopez joins the previously announced cast of Brec Bassinger Elena Kampouris (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), Dylan Walsh, Tony Pierce (The Bodyguard), Evan Ross (The Loneliest Boy in the World), Marissa Reyes (Ganymede), Teri Polo (Meet the Parents franchise) and Faye Dunaway.

Bassinger leads the coming-of-age thriller, the plot of which is under wraps. Kampouris plays a visiting relative who harbors a dark secret.

Mayan is an executive producer on “The Evilry”. Her character in the film is Aimee, who runs a spiritual bookstore with Faye Dunaway’s character Anastasia.

Dunaway’s Anastasia, a spiritualist in the town, acts as a bridge of enlightenment coming to the aid of Crystal (Bassinger) guiding her to the revelation behind her cousin (Kampouris) and her Dark Secret.

We will be watching this. “Meet the Parents,” the beloved 2000 comedy that begat sequels “Meet the Fockers” and “Little Fockers,” has a third sequel in the works, Deadline reports.

Stars Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Teri Polo, and Blythe Danner are reportedly in early talks to return for the fourth film in the franchise, which follows Greg Focker (Stiller) as he navigates his relationship with his wife Pam (Teri Polo) and her parents, Dina (Danner) and intimidating former CIA agent Jack (De Niro). Plot details are being kept in a circle of trust, but John Hamburg, who co-wrote the first three films, is writing the script. No director has been attached yet, nor have any of the franchise’s other cast members, which include Owen Wilson as Pam’s ex-fiancé and Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand as Greg’s parents.

Universal Pictures is in early talks with the main cast of “Meet the Parents” — Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner — to return for a fourth installment in the 2000s romantic comedy film series, TheWrap has learned.

Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro are in talks to reprise their characters for a new comedy follow-up

Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller are in talks to reprise their roles in a new Meet the Parents sequel.

According to Deadline, the actors, along with their fellow co-stars Blythe Danner and Teri Polo, are in discussions to return for an as yet untitled follow-up.

The Fockers are back. Universal Pictures is in development on a new entry in the “Meet the Parents” franchise, and stars Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Teri Polo, and Blythe Danner are all in early talks to return to what will be the fourth film in the series, an individual with knowledge of the project told IndieWire.

No director is set, but John Hamburg is writing the screenplay. The “Meet the Parents” franchise is one of the more successful comedy series ever, with a total franchise gross of over $1.13 billion at the global box office.

Plot details are being kept under wraps for the untitled film.

The series kicked off with “Meet the Parents” in 2000, which starred Stiller as a man trying to win the affection — or join the “circle of trust” — of his fiancé’s (Polo) hard-nosed parents, played by De Niro and Danner, made especially more complicated by...

Universal Pictures is ready to enter the circle of trust again with a new Meet the Parents movie in the works.

Original franchise stars Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner are in early talks to return for a new film. John Hamburg, who worked on the screenplay for the 2000 original and the two subsequent sequels, is writing the script. A director has not yet been announced.

Producers include De Niro and Jane Rosenthal for Tribeca Productions, Jay Roach for Delirious Media and Stiller and John Lesher for Red Hour Films. Universal’s executive vp of production development Matt Reilly and director of production development Jacqueline Garrell are overseeing the project for the studio.

Helmed by Roach, Meet the Parents focuses on a nurse (Stiller) having trouble getting accepted by his girlfriend’s overbearing father (De Niro). The 2000 film surpassed $330 million at the global box office, and 2004’s sequel Meet the Fockers,...

When he’s not directing episodes of Severance or learning how to be a parent to estranged nephews in the David Gordon Green-directed holiday comedy Nutcrackers, Ben Stiller likes to map out his next move, which could take him back to the Circle of Trust for a new Meet the Parents movie. According to Deadline, Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Teri Polo, and Blythe Danner are in early talks for a new film in the Meet the Parents franchise.

Meet the Parents 4 in the Works with Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller

A comedy juggernaut hinging on uncomfortable situations with in-laws, Meet the Parents centers...

Because we are doomed to seeing the same ten or so movies with the same ten or so actors spun-off, sequel-ed, and remade over and over again for the rest of our lives, there's going to be a new Meet The Parents. The original cast, which notably includes Ben Stiller,...

The hardest part of making Meet the Parents was meeting the Motion Picture Association of America.

In 2000, Universal Pictures released a relatable relationship comedy that would quickly become a veritable film franchise, a Ben Stiller-starred hit called Meet the Parents. The Jay Roach-directed story about a male nurse with an unusual name who spends a grueling weekend with his girlfriend’s family and her domineering, ex-CIA father struck a chord with everyone who has ever had to make up a lie about life on the farm just to get out of an uncomfortable misunderstanding, and Meet the Parents proved to be more than milkable for multiple less-delightful sequel projects.

A critical component to the success of Meet the Parents was the ever-important MPAA classification, as the difference in box office returns between PG-13 and R-rated movies will end franchise aspirations faster than you can say “Puff the Magic Dragon.

Ben Stiller appeared on “Hot Ones” and confirmed that the team behind “Meet the Fockers” had to find a real person with the Focker surname in order to prevent the MPA (then called the MPAA) from giving the comedy an R rating. The 2004 film was the sequel to “Meet the Parents” and became a blockbuster hit with $522 million worldwide, which made it the seventh highest-grossing movie of the year.

“I think that is true. Yeah,” Stiller said. “It was a PG-13 and they thought it was too close to ‘fucker.’ Yes. They have to clear names. … Something like that did happen.”

“I also remember having to go to the MPAA when they wanted to give ‘Zoolander’ an R rating because the goat orgy is something they didn’t care for or think was wholesome enough,” Stiller continued about his ratings battles over the years. “I wrote a little speech and...

Ben Stiller could have easily made Nutcrackers, a Christmas-season comedy about a work-obsessed single man who becomes a reluctant guardian to his four unruly nephews, in 1999, as he was making the transition from broad comedy support into more shaded leading roles. He could also have made it in 2009, after becoming...

Hallmark Movies spoilers and updates reveal Benjamin Hollingsworth, known for his role in Virgin River, is teaming up with Anuja Joshi in the Hallmark holiday film “Christmas With The Singhs”.

This story is a holiday romance featuring an engaged couple who spend the festive season with their families, and a physical comedy filled with humor, showcasing the funny side of romantic comedies.

Hallmark Movies Spoilers – What Did Ben Say About His Role?

The latest Hallmark Countdown To Christmas film, “Christmas With The Singhs,” offers more than just a festive storyline-in an interview with Heavy, Benjamin Hollingsworth shares, “This is truly a comedy.”

The Virgin River actor emphasizes the film’s lighthearted nature, likening it to a humorous twist on “Meet The Parents,” featuring a Hindu father in place of Robert De Niro.

The plot centers around Asha Singh, played by Anuja Joshi, and her fiancé Jake O’Brien (Hollingsworth), as they...

The nepo baby discourse as it pertains to the arts is typically a grievance-driven undertaking that allows low- to no-talent individuals the opportunity to blame someone other than themselves for their lack of success. Though there have been instances of celebrity-adjacent people receiving seemingly undeserved gigs, these are usually one-and-not-too-many-more-done deals undone by the recipient's profound absence of skill.

While Ben Stiller certainly had a leg up thanks to his showbiz parents Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, he very quickly proved to be a top-notch satirist via his short films for "Saturday Night Live" and as the producer of the brilliant yet short-lived "The Ben Stiller Show". For those who've followed his career from the start, he's more than earned his bites at the apple, which includes his transition to movie star thanks to hits like "There's Something About Mary," "Meet the Parents," and "Zoolander."

If you think "there's nothing to watch on Netflix," then you're just plain incorrect. Over the past year, the streaming service has been delivering not only dozens upon dozens of excellent original series, but Netflix has also been hand-picking a vast variety of small-screen favorites from past and present for our viewing pleasure. And the binge-watching Gods continue to give the goods.

The latest acquired series to make its drop on Netflix is the Emmy Award-nominated crime drama limited series Escape at Dannemora, which made its premiere on Showtime back in November 2018. The series was co-created by Brett Johnson and Michael Tolkin, and all eight episodes were directed by Ben Stiller.

Escape at Dannemora began streaming on Netflix on Tuesday, Oct. 22, and given how much acclaim the series earned the first time around (the series holds an 88% on Rotten Tomatoes), there's no doubt that the series will once again resurge...

Searchlight Pictures’ top international exec Katie Goodson-Thomas has acknowledged the constant battle the specialty studio has against the deep-pockets of streamers when it comes to securing projects.

Speaking at an industry talk at the BFI London Film Festival, Goodson-Thomas, head of international production and development, said that Searchlight being “priced out” by streamers was something “that happens on a daily basis, it really does.”

She added: “But we just can’t be competitive with Netflix of Apple or Amazon.”

Goodson-Thomas pointed to Emerald Fennell — someone she said she’d “love to work with” — and her upcoming “Wuthering Heights” adaptation, a film Searchlight simply wouldn’t have the finances to support. “But I think she’s an extraordinary filmmaker and I want her film to be made so I’m happy for her to go to those people who have the money to finance it,” she said.

But at Searchlight — which...

For the past three decades, DreamWorks has been seen as the studio that challenged Disney and, in some cases, won. If you are still in business after so many years and are still making movies, then you are clearly doing something right. Originally founded on October 12th, 1994, by three innovators with different motivations, the studio has gone on to make some of the biggest franchises in film history.

Who founded Dreamworks?

Originally conceived by former Disney executive Jeffery Katzenberg, he sought the aid of fellow entertainment executives Steven Spielberg and David Geffen. The three would found DreamWorks Skg with the purpose of becoming a major force in the entertainment industry. The studio’s first release was The Peacemaker in 1997 with other films like Amistad and Mouse Trap releasing that same year.

Things really began to take off in 1998 with action films like Saving Private Ryan and Deep Impact, as well...

In September, we learned that Billy Zane (Dead Calm) had joined the cast. And now, Deadline has broken the news that three-time Oscar nominee (and one time winner) Faye Dunaway also has a role in The Evilry!

After being nominated for her roles in Bonnie and Clyde and Chinatown, Dunaway took home an Oscar for her performance in Network. She was recently the subject of the Max documentary Faye,...

The two-time Academy Awards winner and Hollywood A-lister, Robert De Niro has had quite an impactful journey. The actor gained fame with hit movies like The Godfather: Part II, Goodfellas, Meet the Parents, and many more.

However, unlike other celebrities De Niro was very vocal about one sensitive topic, politics. The legendary actor-producer has often spoken about his political views, particularly his disdain for one leader. The feud between the Casino lead and Donald Trump is long-standing. This election season the actor has been campaigning boldly for the opposition, referencing a past incident which was a blemish on the former president’s rep.

The bold pursuit for Political Freedom: No. 1 critic

Along with being one of the finest actors of his generation, Robert De Niro is also perhaps one of the biggest critics of the Republican candidate. The Goodfellas actor has been very public about his views on Donald Trump and his election campaign.

Chicago – Before it became a Hollywood franchise, the original “Meet the Parents” was a locally-filmed 1992 indie film co-written, directed and featuring Greg Glienna of Park Ridge, Illinois. That city’s famous Pickwick Theatre will celebrate 30 years of the film with a week long run that begins on Friday, September 20th, 2024, with an appearance at the 7pm show by Glienna, his co-writer/co-star Mary Ruth Clarke and producer Jim Vincent, with moderation by Ian Simmons of Kicking the Seat Vodcast.

Former Netflix film head Scott Stuber has closed a deal with Amazon MGM Studios to relaunch the United Artists label and finance and release features from his new production company.

The arrangement includes a first-look deal with Amazon MGM Studios and will see Stuber based on the Culver City lot, producing several films a year under the UA label for release theatrically and on Prime Video.

Stuber will be involved in all projects released by the new UA including those that do not originate from his company. UA was launched in 1919 by Charlie Chaplin, D.W. Griffith, Mary Pickford, and Douglas Fairbanks...

Scott Stuber wasn’t out of the game for long, and he’s bringing back with him a venerated classic film brand. The former Netflix film chief is teaming with Amazon MGM Studios to relaunch the United Artists label and help produce movies for both theatrical and streaming.

Stuber left Netflix this spring, and under his new production company about to launch, he’ll already have a first-look, multiyear film deal with Amazon MGM Studios and will be involved in anything released by the new United Artists.

“With his proven track record of delivering global hits and an eye towards theatrical fare, Scott’s expertise and vision align perfectly with our film strategy,” said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon MGM Studios. “We are so proud to welcome him to our lot and partner with him on the relaunch of the legendary UA brand, as we work to leverage existing and new IP into big,...

Amazon MGM Studios has entered into a multi-year film partnership with Scott Stuber, the former head of film at Netflix. As part of the pact, the streamer and studio will finance and release movies from Stuber’s new production company under United Artists, a languishing label that once operated under the auspice of MGM. In its heyday, United Artists released movies like “The Pink Panther,” “Rocky” “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” “Network” and the James Bond films. The agreement calls for Stuber and his soon-to-be launched company to produce several films annually. They will be released both theatrically and via Prime Video, Amazon’s streaming service.

Stuber’s new company will be based on Amazon MGM Studios’ Culver City lot. The pact is a first-look one, giving Amazon MGM Studios the initial crack at the projects Stuber develops. In addition, Stuber will be involved in all projects released by the new UA.

Updated: Amazon MGM has confirmed the Scott Stuber hire. Find their release below Deadline’s break on the story.

Previously, 7:55 Am Pt: Former Netflix Chairman Film and Universal Vice Chairman Scott Stuber is near a deal to revive United Artists under the Amazon MGM umbrella, sources said.

Stuber left in January, though he stayed on a bit to help the transition that led to former Warner Bros exec Dan Lin taking the film reins at the streamer. Stuber was expected to form his own company, and Deadline revealed that his first project would be Deliver Me From Nowhere. That is the Scott Cooper-directed film that will star Emmy winning The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen. The film covers how the singer came out of the depths of depression writing and recording his seminal album Nebraska. 20th Century’s David Greenbaum and Steve Asbell landed the film in heated competition,...

It’s been 25 years since mob boss Paul Vitti sat on psychiatrist Ben Sobel’s couch, giving enough laughs to make Analyze This one of the biggest hits of 1999 – much to the surprise of its stars. Analyze This leads Billy Crystal and Robert De Niro recently sat down for a discussion of the movie at De Niro Con (a tribute to the actor at the Tribeca Film Festival) to reflect on the mob comedy’s box office success.

Analyze This made its mark as early as opening weekend, beating out its fiercest competitor, Cruel Intentions, by $5 million, taking #1 (a position it held the following week as well) – and Crystal and De Niro didn’t even have to make out! As Crystal remembered, “The box office was coming in, and it was like, ‘Oh my God. Oh my God. We’re crushing them!’ It was one of the great nights of my life,...

Tribeca Film Festival’s ode to its 2x Oscar winning co-founder Robert De Niro –De Niro Con– continued Friday night with a screening of Silver Linings Playbook with that pic’s filmmaker David O. Russell and Ben Stiller sharing their candid experiences working with the Stella Adler trained actor. Or as Stiller, who worked with De Niro in the Meet the Parents franchise coined ‘De Niro-isms.’

When it came to harnessing the hot boiled emotion in a pinnacle dramatic scene where Jennifer Lawrence’s Tiffany Maxwell has it out with De Niro’s Pat Sr (the angry father of Bradley Cooper’s Pat) after he accuses her of casting bad luck upon his prized football team, the Philadelphia Eagles, Russell says that the Goodfellas actor arrived onset already a raging bull.

“I’ll never forget the day of the big explosion when it was Jennifer vs. Bob with Bradley in the middle.

Determining Ben Stiller's best role is no easy task, as the prolific performer has more than a few borderline iconic characters to his name. Tony Perkis in "Heavyweights," Mr. Furious in "Mystery Men," White Goodman in "Dodgeball," Chas Tenenbaum in "The Royal Tenenbaums," Tugg Speedman in "Tropic Thunder," the titular Derek "Zoolander," and Ted Stroehmann in "There's Something About Mary" are all characters that feel synonymous with Stiller, and roles that no one else but him could pull off. And then there's Greg Focker in "Meet the Parents," a role Stiller has played in three different films, the lovable everyman who can't seem to impress his overbearing father-in-law Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro). For as much as Stiller has made a name for himself with distinctive characters like Hal the Orderly Guy in "Happy Gilmore," his genuine charm allowed him to flourish in relatable roles, with Greg arguably the best example of this.

Apple TV+ released a new trailer for its drama “Fancy Dance” starring Lily Gladstone and Isabel Deroy-Olson.

When she risks losing custody of Roki, the two hit the road and scour backcountry to track down Roki’s mother in time for the powwow.
