Felicity Huffman is speaking out for the first time about the infamous college admissions scandal in which she paid $15,000 to have her daughter’s Sat scores falsified to get her into college.
“It felt like I had to give my daughter a chance at a future,” she tells ABC News’ Marc Brown in her first sit-down interview since her 11-day incarceration in 2019. “It was sort of like my daughter’s future, which meant I had to break the law.”

Some TV shows are built to last, but The Good Doctor is not one of them.
The ABC medical drama kicked off in 2017 and delivered compelling cases. That's the bare minimum required for a medical drama nowadays, but the biggest problem for the series has been its inability to keep its cast.
Long-running shows tend to lose cast members as the years go on, but The Good Doctor has never really been able to bounce back from losses in the early seasons.
One of the most shocking -- and horrifically written -- exits involved Nicholas Gonzalez's hunky Dr. Neil Melendez succumbing to injuries he sustained in an earthquake.
It was very Grey's Anatomy, but unlike that show, The Good Doctor has struggled to find replacements for prominent characters who stand the test of time.
Killing Melendez was one of the most controversial deaths on TV in recent memory because...

Hill Harper will not be returning to “The Good Doctor” for the ABC procedural’s upcoming seventh season as he focuses on his U.S. Senate campaign.
Harper, who has starred as Dr. Marcus Andrews alongside Freddie Highmore on “The Good Doctor,” has thrown his hat in the ring to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate as a democratic candidate.
“Hill Harper feels strongly that there is a crisis in American democracy — too often, government only works for the rich and powerful while the rest of us struggle to find a voice,” a spokesperson for Hill’s campaign told TVLine, who first reported the news. “Hill is dedicating his efforts full time to fixing that, and he’s running for the U.S. Senate as an active union member to give working people more of a voice in Congress.”

Niecy Nash-Betts is speaking out about the shocking cancellation of The Rookie: Feds.
As previously reported, the ABC procedural was canceled before a planned second season.
The cancellation news broke six months after the conclusion of The Rookie: Feds Season 1, and now, the actress is speaking out about the decision.
Nash took to Instagram in the aftermath of the cancellation, sharing a video filled with behind-the-scenes moments from her time on the series.
Of course, the clip also includes many of the star's costars.
"When cast & crew becomes family, the journey Never ends…. See y'all on the other side," she captioned the video.
The actress revealed all 22 episodes of the series will remain on Hulu and indicated that the series was a casualty of the strike.

ABC has passed on the Good Lawyer spin-off series. The potential series was teased in a backdoor pilot episode which aired on March 13th, during the sixth season of The Good Doctor.
Starring Kennedy McMann (above) and Felicity Huffman, the series was set to follow a young lawyer named Joni DeGroot (McMaan) who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder. She was introduced to viewers when Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore) from The Good Doctor needed legal representation.

With the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes over, ABC is looking ahead to 2024, and sadly, it's bad news for fans of The Rookie Feds and The Good Lawyer.
The network confirmed late Thursday that The Rookie: Feds had been canceled after a single season, while The Good Doctor spinoff would not be getting a formal series order.
The news for both projects is a bit of a surprise, but given the network's now-stacked midseason slate, these kinds of decisions are expected in the coming weeks.
The Rookie: Feds launched last fall on ABC to a tepid response and middling ratings.
Niecy Nash headlined the spinoff, which was paired with The Rookie at midseason, leading to some of both shows best numbers.
The series also benefited from a robust digital footprint, signaling that while there was interest in the show, many of the viewers weren't interested in watching live.

Two spinoff series at ABC have met their fate on the network.
The Rookie: Feds and The Good Lawyer were both first introduced on their respective flagship shows, The Rookie and The Good Doctor.
While Feds aired one season so far, The Good Lawyer only had a backdoor pilot and was not yet picked up to series, and now we know whether or not ABC will continue with the spinoffs.
Get the scoop inside…
Per Variety, ABC has decided not to renew the Niecy Nash-starring The Rookie: Feds, and they have also decided not to pickup The Good Lawyer, which was to star Kennedy McMann and Felicity Huffman.
The news comes less than a day after the SAG-AFTRA strike came to an end following a historic 118 days on the picket lines.

More fallout from the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. ABC has opted not to proceed with The Good Lawyer, its planned legal spinoff from The Good Doctor that was going to be toplined by Kennedy McMann and Felicity Huffman.
The network had delayed pickup decisions on two spinoffs, bubble drama series The Rookie: Feds and the Good Lawyer pilot. Today, the call was made, and neither is moving forward.
The Good Lawyer originated as a Good Doctor planted spinoff, with the backdoor pilot airing as an episode of the hit medical drama last spring. It was well received, with ABC brass high on McMann and Huffman’s performances.
The options on the cast were up August 15. Because of the SAG-AFTRA strike, the hold period was extended for the duration of the work stoppage, so ABC had another month to make a decision on The Good Lawyer.
As Deadline has reported, the longer the strikes went past Labor Day, the longer the odds were for outstanding series to get a pickup. ABC also canceled Home Economics at the end of September.
ABC had planned to launch The Good Lawyer this coming spring as the broadcasting networks are running out of shelf space as they try to accomodate all of their popular returning scripted series.
For that reason, ABC in late September opted to push its only new scripted series, the one-hour High Potential to next fall. That project, starring Kaitlin Olson, is the only ABC 2023 pilot to get a series order.
The Good Lawyer, from Sony Pictures Television and ABC Signature, was written by The Good Doctor co-showrunners David Shore and Liz Friedman. In the backdoor pilot episode, Dr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore) seeks legal representation to help him win a case and puts his faith in a promising, young lawyer, Joni DeGroot (McMann) who has obsessive compulsive disorder.

ABC’s The Rookie: Feds has been canceled after one season.
A decision on whether the network would renew the freshman drama led by Niecy Nash-Betts was delayed for months amid the ongoing dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, both of which have recently concluded. The ratings for The Rookie: Feds were modest and were trending in a positive direction, as Deadline reported in May.
The Rookie: Feds, the only ABC singular-lead hourlong broadcast series headlined by a Black actor, was not the breakout hit the original Rookie was but delivered respectable ratings that could’ve been enough to secure a second season had it not been for the dual strikes.
Nash-Betts starred as Simone, a former guidance counselor living her dream of becoming an FBI agent, making her the oldest rookie in the agency. Taking on the role came with challenges as many doubted her capabilities, mainly her boss,...

It’s not a great day for spinoffs at ABC. The network has axed “The Rookie: Feds” after one season and will not move forward with “The Good Doctor” spinoff, “The Good Lawyer.”
The spinoff of ABC’s “The Rookie,” which was renewed for a sixth season, stars Niecy Nash-Betts as Simone Clark, the oldest rookie in the FBI Academy. The procedural was introduced as a two-part event during the current fourth season of “The Rookie,” where Officer John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) and the LA division of the FBI enlist the help of Simone when one of her former students is a suspect in a terror attack.
Alexi Hawley and Terence Paul Winter are co-creators, co-showrunners and executive producers. Mark Gordon, Niecy Nash-Betts, Nathan Fillion, Michelle Chapman, Bill Norcross, Corey Miller, Michael Goi and Bibby Dunn are executive producers. Entertainment One (eOne) is the lead studio and international distributor of “The Rookie: Feds,...

ABC has firmed up its post-strike needs.
The Disney-owned broadcast network has canceled The Rookie: Feds and opted to pass on The Good Doctor spinoff, The Good Lawyer.
Both shows had been on hold since May as ABC, like other networks, took a wait-and-see approach to its needs once both the actors and writers strikes concluded.
With actors poised to join writers back at work in the coming days, ABC now has a firm picture of its schedule for what remains of the 2023-24 broadcast season. The Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA strikes wiped out the September start and with production expected to resume in the coming weeks, ABC ultimately had no need for a second season of Feds, starring Niecy Nash-Betts. The series, like the already renewed flagship, is a co-production between Disney’s ABC Signature and outside studio Entertainment One.

Heading into the 2023-2024 season, which isn’t quite what it usually is due to the writers and actors’ strikes — the former of which is over (with a deal awaiting a ratification vote) and the latter still ongoing — ABC had a few shows it had yet to make a decision about. That’s starting to change. The network has canceled Home Economics after three seasons, according to Deadline. Still up in the air is The Rookie: Feds (starring Niecy Nash-Betts) and a spinoff of The Good Doctor, The Good Lawyer. The latter aired as a backdoor pilot on the medical drama in the spring, but we’ll have to continue to wait to see if it’s picked up to series. (It stars Kennedy McMann and Felicity Huffman.) Home Economics follows siblings, their families, their different lives, and the relationships among the three, one of whom is very rich, one middle-class,...

The CW’s “Nancy Drew” aired its final episode on Wednesday, following last year’s news that Season 4 of the detective series would be its last. At the time, showrunners Noga Landau and Melinda Hsu Taylor said they were “full of gratitude, knowing that we were able to bring this chapter to a close with intentionality,” but executive producer Larry Teng is telling a different story.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, the EP said The CW did not tell the “Nancy Drew” team that the network planned to cancel the show until a “random call 3/4 into our season.” According to Teng, “Nancy Drew” star Kennedy McMann “was in line to shoot ‘The Good Lawyer,'” so her agent called CBS Studios (a production company behind “Nancy Drew”) to ask about scheduling in regards to “Nancy Drew” Season 5.

Larry Teng, one of the executive producers of The CW‘s Nancy Drew, has slammed the network brass for the “disrespectful” way they canceled the mystery drama series. Nancy Drew aired its series finale on Wednesday, August 23, wrapping up four seasons of the Kennedy McMann-starring drama. Fans had high praise for the finale and how it tied up loose ends, but, according to Teng, that almost didn’t happen. Taking to Twitter/X on Thursday, August 24, Teng explained how it was only due to a chance phone call that the Nancy Drew team found out the show wasn’t getting picked up for a fifth season. If this didn’t happen, Teng said they would have filmed the Season 4 finale, having no idea it would be their last episode. So… this could be long. From what I’ve read, the reaction to the series finale have been mostly positive.

Throughout its four-season run on The CW, Nancy Drew has consistently done several things very well, including but not limited to ghost stories, gripping mysteries and stunning heads of hair.
The show’s Aug. 9 epiode, which also marked co-showrunner Melinda Hsu Taylor’s directorial debut, zeroed in on two more things the show has always done well, with Ace’s family hosting a beautiful, authentic (and occasionally chaotic) seder dinner at The Claw, with much of the meaning and tradition being conveyed through American Sign Language (Asl).

The options on the cast of ABC’s backdoor pilot The Good Lawyer were up today, which means that by now, the network would’ve made a decision on The Good Lawyer spinoff starring Kennedy McMann and Felicity Huffman.
But the fate of the pilot — as well as ABC bubble series The Rookie: Feds and Home Economics — remain in limbo amid the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. And the longer the work stoppages go, the longer the shows’ odds of getting a pickup get.
According to rules pertaining to the SAG-AFTRA strike, any cast hold period is extended for the duration of the work stoppage. Since ABC and leading The Good Lawyer studio Sony Pictures Television had another month on the pilot actors’ options when the SAG-AFTRA strike started July 14, that time will be added when the strike ends.
Home Economics cast’s options were extended for 60 days when they were up June 30, I hear.

With the Writers Guild strike showing no sign of slowing down, ABC has revealed more about its plans for the 2023-24 season.
The network on Friday confirmed comedies Public Defenders and Keeping it Together and dramas The Hurt Unit and Judgement would not be moving on at the network.
All four had landed pilot orders, but ABC initially delayed decisions on pickups.
Deadline reports that ABC Signature plans to shop the Ben McKenzie vehicle The Hurt Unit, while 20th Television is looking to find new homes for both Public Defenders and Judgement.
The decision is likely in response to the writers' strike, with ABC already making the controversial decision to hold off bringing back its scripted slate until 2024.
The Disney-owned network went public in May with an all-reality schedule because production on scripted shows is not expected to get underway for quite a while.

ABC has opted not to give series orders to four pilots, including legal drama “Public Defenders” starring Anthony Anderson, but will decide the fate of three other pilots, including “The Good Doctor” spinoff “The Good Lawyer,” at a later date, the network confirmed Friday.
The other pilots that won’t move forward to series include the medical drama “The Hurt Unit,” starring Benjamin McKenzie and Melissa George, the Ellie Kemper-led comedy “Keeping It Together” and “Judgement” with “Sex/Life” star Sarah Shahi.
ABC Signature will shop “The Hurt Unit” to other platforms and 20th Television will try to find new homes for “Public Defenders” and “Judgement,” Deadline reported.

ABC still has some decisions to make on its scripted slate.
The network has yet to make final calls on renewals for comedy Home Economics and The Rookie: Feds as well as The Good Lawyer, a backdoor pilot spinoff of The Good Doctor.
It comes after ABC passed on four of its pilots: Anthony Anderson-fronted Public Defenders and Ellie Kemper-led Keeping It Together, which is a remake of British comedy Motherland, as well as dramas The Hurt Unit, starring Melissa George and Ben McKenzie, and Judgement starring Sex/Life’s Sarah Shahi.
Deadline understands that ABC is unlikely to make all of these decisions until the writers strike is over and the future of the fall season is clearer. A decision on Home Economics may come first out of the three.

Curses, indeed! As Nancy Drew fans know, our favorite gumshoe (Kennedy McMann) and Ace (Alex Saxon) — her buddy-turned-bf for a hot second — are doomed to never be together again. Should they act on their feelings, they will be the last ones Ace ever has before perishing, thanks to a Horseshoe Bay hag who hexed Nancy at the end of last season. Of course, curses were meant to be broken and #Nace is too hot to just smolder for this fourth and final season, so we have a sneaking suspicion these two will figure out how to get around the evil spell. It won’t be easy, though. Especially now that Nancy is poised to drop this bombshell on the guy she’s ghosted for the past few months. On top of that, La Drew is about to get pretty toxic while helping pal George (Leah Lewis) crack the mystery of her poisoned boss.

The CW’s Nancy Drew is back for its fourth and final season, and this time we are going all-out on the supernatural. But I need to admit that, for some reason, I just cannot wrap my head around Kennedy McMann as Nancy Drew. She doesn’t appeal to me as the teenage sleuth that I read stories of as a kid. But maybe that’s because my early-2000s image of her is different from what this 2019 series has shown for three seasons. Here’s what happens in Episode 1.

For the second time in three years, the final stage of the broadcast pilot season has been upended by an extraordinary event. In 2020, it was a global pandemic. This year, it is a writers strike. The work stoppage, which started May 2, did not impact pilots, which all had been completed before WGA’s contract with the studios expired May 1, I hear.

The prognosis is good for The Good Doctor.
ABC announced Wednesday that it had picked up a seventh season of the medical drama.
The Good Doctor Season 6, airing Mondays at 10 p.m., is averaging 6.2 million viewers and a 0.6 rating in the demo with a week of DVR factored in.
While the live and delayed viewing has dipped year-to-year, the series is ABC's #2 most-watched show in total viewers, behind The Rookie.
The series is tied for fourth place in the demo with a week of DVR factored in, so it remains a strong performer for the network.
The renewal announcement didn't clarify the future of The Good Lawyer, a spinoff with Felicity Huffman and Kennedy McMann.
The series got a trial behind as a backdoor pilot earlier this season, which was well-received.
But a potential pickup will come down to ABC's needs for next season.

ABC continues to shore up its lineup for the 2023-24 season.
The network has picked up a seventh season of its medical drama The Good Doctor, marking the third renewal in as many days for the network. Earlier in the week, ABC renewed The Rookie and Will Trent for 2023-24.
The Good Doctor is also poised to become a franchise, as ABC aired a backdoor pilot for a potential spinoff, titled The Good Lawyer, in March. Should it go to series, it will star Kennedy McMann and Felicity Huffman.
The Good Doctor remains among ABC’s most watched scripted shows, particularly with delayed and cross-platform viewing. The show’s same-day average of 3.3 million viewers jumps to 9.1 million after five weeks of multiplatform viewing, and its rating among the key advertising demographic of adults 18-49 grows nearly sixfold, from 0.32 to 1.85. In seven-day Nielsen ratings for this season, its 6.2 million viewers trails...

Fourth in a series on status of broadcast network series renewals. Amid Disney companywide cutbacks, which include the elimination of 7,000 jobs, ABC is taking a measured approach to its scripted series renewals. Only one show, award-winning sophomore comedy Abbott Elementary, received a very early Season 3 pickup in January.

With four drama pilots (including The Good Doctor planted spinoff) and two comedy pilots — the most for a broadcast network this season and all headlined by big-name stars — ABC is expected to take longer than usual on most renewals. It would use the time to evaluate a number of the...
