While Season 1 of Firefly Lane just dropped on Netflix today, there has already been talk about a Season 2, although nothing has been officially confirmed.
The series, developed by Maggie Friedman is an adaptation of Kristin Hannah’s novel by the same name. Kristin Hannah also serves as an executive producer along with Katherine Heigl.
Firefly Lane covers the 30 year friendship of Tully and Kate from their meeting as tweens in 1974 to the present (which is 2003 in the series) and small flashes of the future. Tully, the coolest girl in school, and Kate, the introvert, are unlikely friends that share an everlasting bond, a bond that weathers every milestone in their lives, leading up to some sort of tragedy in the present.

Season 1 of Firefly Lane on Netflix: Everything we know so far.
Netflix first announced their order for 10 episodes of Firefly Lane back in February of 2019.
Firefly Lane is an adaptation of the novel by the same name, from the prolific author Kristin Hannah, who also wrote Winter Garden, The Nightingale, and The Great Alone.
The book Firefly Lane was first released in 2013 but has since been rereleased with a Netflix logo on the cover.
I always debate reading the book before the series comes out, I already bought the book version and started it (but I’m only about 20 pages in.) I used to swear by this, but in the last few years I’ve been opting to watch the show or movie first- just so I can watch and review without a predetermined idea.
Obviously reading the book isn’t necessary before diving into the series, but it seems to be well recommended given ‘Firefly Lane’ is a New York Times Best Seller and winner of countless awards.
Firefly Lane is also the first of two books with Fly Away being the follow-up second book and is already being discussed to be covered in a second season of the series.
Set in the 1970s, Firefly Lane is a coming-of-age story that follows two unlikely friends, Tully Hart (Heigl) and Kate Mularkey (Chalke) and their relationship over three decades, chronicling the ups of downs of their complicated friendship.
Kate, the introvert, and Tully, the coolest girl in school, form a bond that weathers every milestone in their lives, leading up to a tragedy in the present.
Based on the New York Times Bestselling book, Firefly Lane is the sweeping story of two inseparable best friends and their enduring, complicated bond, spanning four tumultuous decades.
Brightlight Pictures, the production studio behind the show, is well-known for their TV and film adaptations.
Some of the projects from Brightlight Pictures include The Good Doctor on ABC, Descendants for the Disney Channel and a couple of Netflix projects including the Stephen King adaptation of 1922 and Haters Back Off!.
The show runner, Maggie Friedman’s previous projects include Eastwick for ABC, Witches of East End for Lifetime and most recently, No Tomorrow for The CW.
The drama was filmed in Canada last year. Katherine Heigl recalled the fond memories of being on set with Chalke and the rest of cast and crew in an Instagram post.
“A little over a year ago, before the world caught on fire I filmed a show for @netflix in Vancouver,” Heigl wrote.
Heigl described Tully and Kate, the protagonists as “two women who begin their journey together as two young girls in the 70s and rocket through life from then on out by each other’s side.”
Heigl continued by explaining how enamored she was with the story, and how she cherishes the novel, “Not only did I have the privilege of playing a character and telling a story I adore but I got to do it alongside a cast and crew I adore,” she continued.
“For me, it was the perfect storm of blessings and an unforgettable moment in my 30-year career. I truly could not be more proud of or more excited to share this show with all of you,” Heigl also wrote.
Heigl then urged fans to read the novel if they haven’t already to get in the all prepped for the series, which doesn’t have a release date yet.
"We could all do with heart, humor, hope and love right about now,” Heigl also said.
She finished off her post praising the show’s costumes and soundtrack, featuring some “fantastic throwback looks and music”.
Chalke also celebrated the show and her co-star in an Instagram post.
“I had the best time making this with @katherineheigl and an incredible cast and crew,” Chalke wrote.

Stop here if you haven’t finished the ENTIRE SERIES of 13 Reasons Why!
Trust me, you don’t want the spoilers, the ending was actually spoiled for me- by accident, but I saw a title on You Tube while I was searching for the clip of Charlie coming out to his dad.
So stop reading- if you got this far- and haven’t finished the series- last episode and all- just stop now… but be sure to come back and visit once you’re done, because believe me, you’ll need to talk!

I’m still having a having a hard time getting past what happens to Justin. Watching this video now, 10 days after the final season dropped- probably about a week after I finished it- I still cry the second I watch anything about Justin.
There are shows I’ve loved, obsessed over, worked on… but I don’t remember getting so attached to a character and truly heart broken about that characters fate. I still feel nauseous. I really want it to end differently-
Netflix
So, please watch the video below and let us know what you think…
Did you start to tear up the second Brandon started speaking? Did you fully lose it when he talked about Brian asking him to dinner?
What did you think about Season 4?
Did you like the way 13 Reasons Wby ended the series?
Loved this scene. The back and forth- Andrew McCarthy is a delight. I only wish we would have seen more of him this season.
Their relationship seems so strong- and the Eli Manning dialogue is hysterical.
Alex and Moira say David A LOT.
Check out this hysterical video of every single time.

The new full trailer for Apple TV’s original series ‘The Morning Show’ has been released. We know the show is set to drop in the fall on the new streaming platform coming from Apple TV+, we do not know the exact date as of yet.
This latest look at "‘The Morning Show’ tells us more about the premise than we originally knew- I’m guessing they may be taking on a #MeToo storyline and I’m interested to see if they can pull it off- Reese and Jennifer are both executive producers.

Luke Perry's presence was definitely missed in BH90210.
The new Beverly Hills, 90210 reunion show premiered Wednesday night on Fox and the series -- which blurs the lines between fiction and fantasy with a ultra-meta twist -- addressed Perry's absence more than once throughout the one-hour episode.
Perry, who played heartthrob Dylan McKay from 1990 to 2000 on the original series, passed away on March 4 after suffering a massive stroke. He was 52 years old.
Prior to his death, Perry's 90210 co-stars said the actor expressed that he was very much interested in appearing in the highly-anticipated reboot, even though his role on Riverdale prohibited him from participating in the project full-time.
So how did the cast of BH90210 pay tribute to the former West Beverly High alumnus? Here are the three scenes that tugged on our Luke-loving heartstrings...
Fox
When we first pick up with BH90210, the gang is gearing up for a special Beverly Hills, 90210 30-year reunion panel in Las Vegas, NV. After setting up what each actor has been up to in this heightened reality-type world, Tori Spelling, Jennie Garth, Jason Priestley, Ian Ziering, Brian Austin Green, and Gabrielle Carteris all meet up together in the lobby of their hotel.
"Well, this is weird," Priestley says to the group. "Oh, come on -- we're all thinking it."
"I like that the anniversary brought us together," Carteris sweetly replies. "I can't believe that we are all here."
"I wish that were true," Priestley responds as a somber tune begins to play in the background.
"Well, it's still great to see all you guys," Ziering adds as the long-time friends all begin to embrace each other with heartwarming reunion hugs.

Later in the episode and after their reunion panel, the 90210 gang is bonding, boozing, and sharing a few laughs together while flying on a private jet from Las Vegas to back home in Los Angeles. Spelling, who managed to steal Donna's iconic red prom dress from a glass display in the hotel, is happily wearing the dress and drunkenly explaining to her former co-stars that her act of grand-theft wardrobe is a win for all of them.
"I forgot how much I love all of us together! That was fun, wasn't it?" Spelling exclaims on the plan while gleefully holding a bottle of champagne. "And I got our dress back!"
"Umm, that's not our dress," Garth quickly counters to her best friend.
"Yeah it is. This dress belongs to all of us because this symbolizes everything that we created together. You and you and you and you and you," Spelling says while pointing at all of her co-stars. "And me, and Shannen, and Luke."
"We're not all going to be here forever," Spelling continues, "But we made something that will be."
Priestley then raises his glass and says simply, yet sweetly: "To Luke."

In the final scene of the premiere episode, Garth and Spelling are having a BFF cuddle on the couch while an old episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 plays on the TV screen. All of the sudden, Spelling has an idea: "Oh my god, it's right in front of us," she exclaims while gesturing to the show. "90210. This is the time to do a reboot!"
"No," Garth quickly counters. "Have you lost your mind?"
"Maybe," Spelling shares with a laugh. "Maybe going back is just what we all need to move forward."
As the camera pans to the TV screen in Spelling's living room, fans are treated to a classic 90210 beachside moment.
Perry is seen driving Dylan's iconic Porsche and he leans over to Priestley as Brandon Walsh says, "Welcome to paradise, man. Welcome to your dream come true." The screen then lingers on Perry's face and the first episode of BH90210 comes to a close.
BH90210 airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on Fox.
Fox's meta-revival of Beverly Hills, 90210, BH90210, sees the series' original cast members playing heightened versions of themselves as they try to mount a reboot of their '90s teen soap. The hour-long dramedy is full of Easter eggs for fans — literally, as Jennie Garth has a nightmare about exchanging an egg — but the series is also full of tongue-in-cheek references to the stars' real lives.
The premiere centered on Tori Spelling, Jennie Garth, Gabrielle Carteris, Ian Ziering and Brian Austin Green reuniting at a fan convention for the 30th anniversary ofBeverly Hills, 90210, then deciding, after getting the band back together, that they might want to stage their own reboot of the series.
Claim: Tori Spelling lost her v-card to Brian Austin Green
It was a major TV event when Spelling's innocent Donna Martin finally decided to have sex for the first time with her longtime love, Green's David Silver, but on BH90210Spelling made several jokes that insinuated he took her v-card in real life, too.
The Facts: Maybe. Spelling revealed on Lifetime's Celebrity Lie Detector that she did, in fact, sleep with Green while 90210 was still on the air. Whether it was her first time, however, is still up in the air. The faux-reality show in which she and her TV husband star? That's definitely based on any number of Spelling's real-life ventures into reality TV.
Claim: Jennie Garth has split from her third husband
Garth is shown raging against her recently split third husband.
The Facts: While Garth did, in fact, split from her third husband in 2017 and file for divorce in 2018, the pair seem to have reconciled: The duo filed a petition in 2019 to dismiss the divorce proceedings and a spokesperson told People they are "very happy" together.
Claim: Jason Priestly is a hot-headed director who punched an actor on set
Before TV Priestley heads to Vegas for the 90210 convention, he gets into an on-set altercation with an actor he's directing (and punches him in the face).
The Facts: While Priestley is a prolific director (and has helmed dozens of episodes of TV series, including Van Helsing, Rookie Blue, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, and Beverly Hills, 90210, as well as the Luke Perry TV movie western Goodnight for Justice), there is no public record of any violent incident happening — nor are there even rumors online of Priestley being ill-tempered at all. And while he has no kids on the series, in real life he's been married since 2005 and has two children.
Claim: Brian Austin Green is married to a pop star
The TV version of Green is a family man, married to pop star Shay (played by La La Anthony) and stay-at-home dad to their three kids.
The Facts: Green has been married to actress Megan Fox since 2010. The two reconciled after Fox filed for divorce a few years ago, and they share three sons together. Green recently told People that his wife still hasn't seen any episodes of the show that made him famous.
Claim: Ian Ziering is married to a fitness influencer
Ziering is peddling a fitness book with his wife, Stacey, who's an author, fitness influencer, and potential new Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member.
The Facts: Ziering's real-life wife, Erin, is actually an influencer of sorts. She writes a blog, At Home With the Zierings, that focuses on fashion, travel, and mothering.
I just stumbled across footage of Gigi & Bella when they appeared in several episodes with their mother, Yolanda Foster, on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

90210 is back! Again, sort of…
Fox announced their plans to reunite the cast of Beverly Hills 90210, the 90’s pop-culture phenomenon, for a six-episode summer event series.
The six-episode event series will be following the original cast of 90210 - as fictional versions of themselves. It's a scripted series a la Curb Your Enthusiasm.
The CW previously had a reboot with new and returning cast members, this will be different, not a true 90210 revival, but instead a scripted series about them getting back together for a revival. According to Fox, the show will have a "healthy dose of irreverence – that is inspired by their real lives and relationships." The show will pick up with the cast having gone their separate ways after the original series ended 19 years ago and looks at what happens next when they get back together for a potential revival.
Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling are returning. Luke Perry was not set to participate in the reboot due to scheduling with Riverdale, although Tori Spelling has said he will try to appear when he can.
"Beverly Hills, 90210 left an indelible impact on pop culture and an entire generation," Michael Thorn, president of entertainment at Fox, said in a statement. "Its powerful legacy is an important part of our network's DNA—bold stories not told anywhere else and bigger-than-life-characters—and we're honored to bring back the beloved original cast members for 90210."
Bradley Cooper appeared on the “Late Show with Stephen Colbert” Thursday night and talked "A Star Is Born" and performing with Lady Gaga.
Bradley talked about not being able to attend the Grammys (we really missed seeing him there!) since he was in London for the BAFTA awards. Colbert presented him with one of his Grammys since Bradley missed his first Grammy win.
This is a pure example of why we love him so much- as Colbert started to praise him for “A Star is Born” - Bradley stopped him and expressed his appreciation to Colbert. Thanking him for a review he gave at the National Board Review. “For someone like you to come out and talk about a movie so favorably and explain why it moved you meant so much to me. So, I really want to thank you for that ‘cause not everybody does that.”
Bradley talked about the Jackson Mane voice and performing with Lady Gaga in Las Vegas three weeks ago- “So, I went up there and sang it, and I just look like this, sort of, you know, idiot from Philadelphia that’s singing with Lady Gaga. Luckily, I was on pitch - thank god.”
“Speaking of the idiot from Philadelphia, you know, singing,” Colbert notes, “You’re going to be singing at the Oscars with Lady Gaga. Are you nervous about that? Or are you ready to get your Jackson Mane back on?”
“You know, he’s gone, I'm not going to try to get him back, but I will be me singing.”
The future of Beth and Randall’s marriage is still a mystery after one of the many twists in Season 3. After two seasons of some serious marriage goals between Beth and Randall, they hit a rough patch as Beth asked Randall to stop the campaign and then to sleep on the coach once he declined the prior.
We are hoping Phyilcia Rashad’s character will shine some light on Beth’s past and future motivations. Rashid will be in an episode dedicated to Beth and telling some of her backstory. We’ve gotten a slight glimpse through Zoe, Beth’s cousin who is now dating Kevin, but a solid backstory for Beth has been long overdue.
Watch as Lady Gaga calls Bradley up on stage while he was attending her Enigma show in Las Vegas.
For what may have been a surprise performance, we are all dying over their chemistry onstage (& off stage!)
