Freeform’s “Single Drunk Female” Season 2 trailer is here to show that Samantha Fink’s sober journey is only the starting point in her story.

Actors have long had to deal with the same occupational hazard in public spaces: hearing fans shout out character names as they pass by. And while Sofia Black-d’Elia, 30, has been acting consistently since age 18 (she quit a job scooping frozen yogurt at Tcby for her first professional job on All My Children and never looked back), thanks to a breakout turn as the title character on Freeform’s critically acclaimed Single Drunk Female, the New Jersey native is hearing more than “Samantha!”
“The nicest aspect of this job has been the amount of people that are either in recovery or know someone in recovery that shout how much [sober] time they have at me on the street. I’ve never had a job that’s given me anything more rewarding than that,” said the judge’s daughter, who previously turned heads on series like Skins,...

Three women running current TV and streaming series took stock of progress as well as lingering paradoxes in an entertainment industry that is still processing both the #MeToo movement and the economic change wrought by the streaming boom.
Asked during the panel at SeriesFest if anything has changed in the years since the industry’s initial reckoning with sexual abuse and assault as well as toxic work environments, Sierra Teller Ornelas, showrunner of Peacock series Rutherford Falls replied, “I don’t think so.” She did go on to say she has observed a “slow kind of incline.” In 2010, she said, even though, “the jokes you could tell the things you could talk about the stuff you could say, you just don’t do that now.”

[Editor’s Note: The following interview contains spoilers for the “Single Drunk Female” Season 1 finale, including the ending.]
Over the course of the first season of “Single Drunk Female,” success comes in wildly different forms. Whether it’s the incremental steps that multiple characters take toward maintaining sobriety or learning how to say sorry, it’s sometimes hard for Sam (Sofia Black-d’Elia) to gauge how much she should actually celebrate.
After some early stumbles and a string of stressful moments that could have kept her from getting to that point, Sam finishes Season 1 with over a year of sobriety. That wasn’t necessarily part of series creator Simone Finch’s original plan. But in working with fellow executive producer Jenni Konner, Finch found a season-ending symmetry in the journeys of Sam and sobriety pal-turned-romantic interest James (Garrick Bernard).
“I wanted Sam to relapse, originally. But she was so right about that. That’s boring. What we did is way more interesting,...

Freeform’s comedy series Single Drunk Female got off a promising ratings start. The January 20 launch has amassed over 2.4 million multiplatform viewers in Live+7, according to Nielsen and Freeform, marking the network’s biggest comedy premiere since the Jan. 3, 2018 debut of grown-ish more than four years ago.
The opening episode also was the most-watched Freeform comedy series premiere on Hulu, and the second-best performance overall for a Freeform series premiere on the platform, behind only Cruel Summer, which averaged 3.81 million multi-platform viewers in its first week.
There is a caveat. Freeform has only launched one comedy series since grown-ish, Everything’s Gonna Be Okay, plus the pandemic-themed 2020 entry Love in the Time of Corona. Still, Single Drunk Female‘s performance is respectable for a comedy on basic cable which traditionally are hard to launch. It complements the show’s critical success with 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Single Drunk Female premieres tonight on Freeform, and you need to pay attention to the strikethrough in the title.
Sofia Black-d'Elia plays Samantha Fink, a young woman struggling with alcoholism when we first catch up with her, but her journey really begins when she gets sober.
Anybody who knows an alcoholic knows that journey is different for everyone, but they have to stick to some basic rules to make it through.
The first, of course, is to stop drinking.
To do that, you need a support system in place to keep you on the straight and narrow.
As many find in life, the people Sam has always leaned on may have encouraged her habit.
One of Sam's most crucial relationships is with her mother, Carol, played by Ally Sheedy.
Carol welcomes Sam back home but doesn't want her own life to be disrupted. A widow, Carol is getting her sea legs back and dating again.

For Simone Finch, the creator and executive producer behind Freeform’s upcoming Single Drunk Female, the comedy starring Sofia Black-d’Elia and Ally Sheedy comes from a deeply personal place.
During the show’s TCA panel on Wednesday Finch shared that Single Drunk Female first originated nearly a decade ago as she struggled with addiction after her father’s death.
“I started writing this in 2012 before I got sober and I got sober and I realized it was about a girl getting sober,” said Finch, who is now seven years and eight months sober, adding “I called it a living script as it sort of evolved as I got more sober.”

Almost a year since it was first reported, Nicole Richie's TV show is back on the headline. The former reality star pitched an idea of a half-hour comedy about a "professional woman with complicated family relationships" but the project went stale for a year before ABC closes a new deal this month.
Deadline said ABC is moving on with the single-camera comedy and has assigned Jeff Rake ("Miss Match") to write the script. The original writer was Daisy Gardner ("Californication") under the supervision of Warren Bell. The Alphabet however retains Jamie Tarses' Fanfare and Sony TV as the producers.

Fact About Me #1: I used to loathe Nicole Richie. I thought she was a total waste of space.
Fact About Me #2: Once she dumped Paris Hilton, cleaned up her act, had a couple babies and settled down I started to like her. Ok, maybe not like - but at least respect. She got a signature look going (boho chic), developed a jewelry line and gave her daughter a pretty cool name that wasn't too ridiculous. So it was all good.
Fact About Me #3: I don't like it when people who don't really have much acting talent (see: Paris, Ashlee Simpson, most reality stars) try to be actors. I get that people want to be famous. But I'm not an actress and I wouldn't foist myself on anyone, so why do these people keep insisting on appearing on television and in movies?
Now I'm trying to reconcile Facts #2 and #3. Because,...

HBO led all TV networks in attracting nominations in the 60th anniversary WGA Awards, fetching two noms for dramatic series writing and three for comedy series writing.
In the dramatic series category, HBO's The Sopranos and The Wire are joined by Showtime's Dexter, NBC's Friday Night Lights and AMC's Mad Men.
In the comedy series category, HBO attracted noms for Curb Your Enthusiasm, Entourage and Flight of the Conchords. Also nominated in the category are NBC's The Office and 30 Rock.
Conchords also attracted a nom in the category of new TV series, where it joins Mad Men, FX's Damages, ABC's Pushing Daisies and Comedy Central's The Sarah Silverman Program.
The WGA's recent news releases have dealt almost solely with its ongoing strike against some of the same companies figuring in the WGA Awards. The guild had planned to release its TV and radio noms today but released the information late Wednesday without previous notice.
"In order to maximize press coverage for the 2008 Writers Guild Awards as well as not compete with Golden Globes' nominees ... we made the decision to go out a day earlier than previously announced," WGA West spokesman Gregg Mitchell said.
Globe noms were released this morning.
The WGA Awards are set for Feb. 9, with simultaneous ceremonies planned at the Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles and the Hudson Theatre in New York.
