TCA's new partnership with the ATX TV Festival (May 28-31 in Austin, TX) will include “Around the TV Set,” a roundtable conversation with TCA panelists about industry trends, the shows of the moment, and the evolving art of TV criticism/reporting. Hope to see you there!

Some of the more surprising things from the #CIACBS panel: Nick Gehlfuss actually had to test with Tom Ellis before he got the role + Natalee Linez (who was just on #ChicagoPD) did the whole audition process: www.givememyremote.com/remote/2026/... #TCA26

Here are the America's Culinary Cup contestants: 16 accomplished and acclaimed chefs, and also one two-time Top Chef winner, returning to compete for Padma Lakshmi yet again. #CulinaryCup #TopChef

🎬 That's a wrap on a terrific CBS Winter TCA press day ft. #Marshals #CIACBS #AmericasCulinaryCup #FireCountry #SheriffCountry #BostonBlue #BeyondTheGates and #Survivor. Follow your favorite TCA members for coverage of today's Q&As, plus breaking news later this afternoon.

"She is a partner...in every form of the word," Donnie Wahlberg praises of Sonequa Martin-Green. He's been keeping busy with the show and music, but he's grateful for the team he has on #BostonBlue. #TCA26

"I don't know if he's in the right place [for romance]," Max Thieriot notes. But reuniting with #SEALTeam's Alona Tal on #FireCountry, "She & I have this rapport...it's been awesome having her back." Because of their established chemistry, it was fun for them to jump into. #TCA26

Could co-producer P&G's soap characters (e.g. ATWT, GL, AW) appear on #BeyondTheGates? "The door is always open," says creator/EP Michele val Jean, but right now they're focused on building their show's own community. #TCA26

"We've been talking about Sleep Country, Vacation Country, Wine Country...," jokes Max Thieriot of his and Morena Baccarin's busy schedules/April 3 #FireCountry / #SheriffCountry crossover event. #TCA26

#Marshals was developed in a different manner because they knew they'd have Luke Grimes reprising his #Yellowstone role & he'd be a marshal; the rest of the story developed from that, showrunner Spencer Hudnut says. But if they get a season 2, he already has a rough idea of where it'll go. #TCA26

"There's a lot of sports on CBS, and I want to harness that vieiwing public as well," says Padma Lakshmi of developing #AmericasCulinaryCup for a broadcaster vs cable/streaming. "I want this to be a big tent show." #TCA26

watching now! big thanks to the folks at CBS and @tvcritics.org for putting this together!

"This is a very pure show" with no overly fabricated obstacles, says Padma Lakshmi of CBS' #AmericasCulinaryCup. "I want it to be the Olympics of cooking... an elite competition." #TCA26

TCA EOY Spotlight | @rondaracha.bsky.social "I had many great conversations with many amazing people, especially for #TheGildedAge S3 (my best show of the year), but I think Denée Benton's Peggy will go down as a trailblazing TV character.... I am excited about what she believes can happen in S4."

TCA EOY Spotlight | @aaronpruner.bsky.social " #CommonSideEffects came out of nowhere for me and became an instant obsession. I was allowed to write a piece that isn't really a review, but more so a viewer recommendation-type thing.The show is probably one of the best sci-fi shows of the year."

TCA EOY Spotlight | Erin Qualey @miffedcupcake.bsky.social "I adore Kaitlin Olson more than anything; I truly think she's a modern Lucille Ball. Even though she's not in every episode of #Hacks, her performance as DJ Vance makes a lasting impact on the overall narrative of the show."

TCA EOY Spotlight | @mattmitovich.bsky.social "Jay Harrington and I had bonded during previous chats (as @syracuseu.bsky.social alumni), so when cancelled SWAT's EXILES spinoff materialized out of nowhere, he was happy to hop on the phone and be VERY candid about how that announcement went down."

TCA EOY Spotlight | Philiana Ng "What was originally an inside-the-book print feature unexpectedly turned into a cover story. It was a treat getting the opportunity to spotlight the talented #UzoAduba, who was celebrating her sixth career Emmy nomination for Netflix's 'The Residence.'"

TCA EOY Spotlight | Meg Mimura "I had to pay tribute to Prime Video's longest-running and most popular franchise to date. Shame on you, Amazon, for throwing away your flagship series and golden boy so unceremoniously! #Bosch diehard fans deserve better."

TCA EOY Spotlight | @lizshannonmiller.com "My original hope was to speak with talent on L&O and related shows, but I instead ended up having fantastic conversations with academics about what they've learned from studying the ways and reasons we consume these series."

TCA EOY Spotlight | Julio Martinez "I was emotionally moved by Diane Keaton's passing." julio769.substack.com/p/channeling...

TCA EOY Spotlight | @timclodfelter.bsky.social "I've followed the Pate Brothers, siblings born in my hometown, through a career that has spanned sea monsters, teen dramas, space operas, Charles Manson, a show about undead cops... and now #TheRunarounds, about a coastal town rock band on the rise."

TCA EOY Spotlight | Lissete Lanuza Sáenz "In an uneven S2, #TheLastOfUs still managed to get one important thing right: the moment everyone was dreading. And even though the world we live in is very different, the message about grief and making the most of the time you have still hits very hard."

TCA EOY Spotlight | @thehuve.bsky.social "When I opened hailing frequencies with the #StrangeNewWorlds showrunners in person, they reflected on Season 5 and offered glimpses of the future, including tidbits that'd leave old-school Trek fans as giddy as a Tribble in a bin full of Quadrotriticale."

TCA EOY Spotlight | Johanna Schneller "I love this series, #DyingForSex, unreservedly -- and it was a pleasure to write about it just as unreservedly."

TCA EOY Spotlight | @paulettecohn.bsky.social "In a year where I covered so much reality TV, it was refreshing to dive into this conversation with Tom Ellis about several of his acting projects, working with his wife, and being a 'girl dad.'" parade.com/celebrities/...

TCA EOY Spotlight | Liam Mathews "Diane Farr, who plays a firefighter on #FireCountry, shared her story with me basically while it was happening -- and it was an urgent and moving interview."

TCA EOY Spotlight | @terryterrones.bsky.social "I’ve interviewed #Survivor host/showrunner Jeff Probst several times over the years but this was my first time for The Hollywood Reporter. It makes this one special."

TCA EOY Spotlight | Quinci LeGardye @quinciwho.bsky.social "I was honored to begin the year by profiling Keyla Monterroso Mejia as she was entering the biggest year of her career so far."

TCA EOY Spotlight | Luaine Lee "Jeff Bridges, Sam Heughan, Shanola Hampton, Scott Foley and other famous celebrities reminiscing about their dads for Fathers Day. What could be better?" archive.ph/xHAog

TCA EOY Spotlight | @amyamatangelo.bsky.social "I loved getting to do a deep dive with Audra McDonald and Denee Benton about what made their characters' arcs on the third season of #TheGildedAge so special. Plus the photos accompanying this feature are fantastic!"

TCA EOY Spotlight | @meredithjacobs.bsky.social "I loved doing a deep dive into Robby's Season 1 arc, Noah Wyle's Emmy nominations (for both #ThePitt and ER), and Season 2 teases with him in a video interview. It's so clear how much the show and character mean to him, and how well he knows them."

TCA EOY Spotlight | @westlifebunny.bsky.social "Sitting with Charlie Cox and getting past the #Daredevil mask pulled me back to my early journalism roots and reflects the kind of TV coverage I care about most: human-first, culture-minded, and focused on the person helping shape stories we love."

TCA EOY Spotlight | Abe Friedtanzer "Second seasons are often ignored but this is one that deserves to be celebrated. A spin-off shouldn't be as good as the original, but this show makes a great case for why #GenV is!"

TCA EOY Spotlight | @ericfrancisco24.bsky.social "As a Star Wars fan with some knowledge of French from high school, my ears perked when I heard the Ghorman language. Lucasfilm enthusiastically pointed me to dialect coach Marina Tyndall, and I learned how #Andor invented a language from scratch."

TCA EOY Spotlight | @jimhalterman.bsky.social "I love a good plot twist, especially those you don't see coming. So talking to those involved in bringing five delicious shockers to TV was a thrill to do."

TCA EOY Spotlight | @kaytiburt.bsky.social "For this piece about Netflix docu-series 'Pop Star Academy: Katseye,' I spoke to director Nadia Hallgren about what it was like to get to know and follow the teen girls competing to be in one of the biggest musical acts of the year."

TCA EOY Spotlight | @william-goodman.com " #Lazarus, the new Adult Swim anime from Cowboy Bebop creator Shinichirō Watanabe, arrived with fight choreography from John Wick creator Chad Stahelski, making it a special event. This piece is all about how that collaboration came to be."
