Amy Schumer booked a recognizable psychic for the second season of her Hulu series Life & Beth.
As the trailer revealed, Jennifer Coolidge makes a cameo in Schumer’s follow-up season. And now a new clip, dropped on Thursday, shows nearly two minutes of the anticipated scene, which comes in the third episode of the 10-episode season, which releases in full on Thursday.
Playing a New Orleans psychic named Madame de Merde, the Emmy-winning White Lotus actress has been booked for a reading by Beth (Schumer), who brings another season two guest character — played by Amy Sedaris — along for the appointment. As the teaser shows, however, Beth doesn’t exactly get a good vibe during their introduction.
Schumer shared a fun fact with The Hollywood Reporter that Coolidge and Sedaris’ roles were originally flipped, with Coolidge initially set to play the New Orleans wedding planner ultimately played by Sedaris, and...

In 2022, Amy Schumer starred in two different series. One was the long-delayed fifth season of her sketch comedy show Inside Amy Schumer, which had been absent for six years while Schumer focused on family and on other professional opportunities. The other was Hulu’s Life & Beth, a semi-autobiographical dramedy where Schumer played an unhappy woman who moved back into her childhood home in Long Island after the loss of her mother, trying for a fresh start to a life that hadn’t gone as she once hoped.

In season three of Only Murders in the Building, Broadway director Oliver Putnam, played by Martin Short, lands on the idea of turning his murder mystery play Death Rattle into a musical after the shocking death of his leading man.
The musical, in which a detective investigates the murder of a woman in a lighthouse that was only witnessed by her infant triplets, is meant to salvage the show, and his career. But it also acts as a motif for the rest of season, wherein the Broadway numbers performed by cast further the plot of the actual murder mystery being solved by Short, Selena Gomez and Steve Martin, the trio at the center of the series.
And so to make the already over-the-top musical feel as real as possible, the Only Murders in the Building writing team called on the Tony- and Oscar-winning songwriting duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul,...

Note: This story contains spoilers from “Only Murders in the Building” Season 3, Episode 9.
After pictures of Selena Gomez in a wedding dress went viral on social media in March, “Only Murders in the Building” fans started speculating how it could fit into the Hulu comedy’s plot for Season 3.
Tuesday’s new episode answered that question, as Mabel donned Joy’s (Andrea Martin) mother’s wedding dress, left behind in Charles’ (Steve Martin) apartment, while the trio raced to a courthouse to clear Loretta Durkin’s (Meryl Streep) name after finding Donna DeMeo (Linda Edmond) to be the latest suspect in Ben Glenroy’s (Paul Rudd) murder.
Showrunner John Hoffman told TheWrap, in an interview conducted in accordance with WGA guidance and facilitated through his personal publicist, that the idea for the wedding dress came later in the planning for Season 3 and that filming the trio outside of New York...

“It was kind of like, ‘you up? Want to work on a Passover seder?’” suggests Benj Pasek of how the special “Saturday Night Seder” came to fruition. Pasek serves as executive producer, writer and songwriter for the program. Writer Sas Goldberg agrees that “it was very ‘you up?’ in nature.” She adds that since the event was impromptu in nature, “I don’t think any of us had any idea about what it would become.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.
“Saturday Night Seder” has raised over $3 million, and counting, for the CDC’s Coronavirus Emergency Response Fund. It’s a fitting fundraiser since the idea for a streaming Passover celebration was born out of stay-at-home orders during the global pandemic. “We were in our apartments wondering what we could do to be helpful,” reveals Pasek.

Exclusive: Rocker Melissa Etheridge will provide the musical ingredients for a stage adaptation of Mystic Pizza, the 1988 MGM rom-com that launched Julia Roberts and gave an early look at a very young, lobster-eating Matt Damon. The new production, announced today by Lively McCabe Entertainment, will be directed by Gordon Greenberg, who is co-writing the book with Sas Goldberg based on the story and characters by original screenwriter Amy Holden Jones.
“MGM’s Mystic Pizza is a seminal film for an entire generation of young people looking to distinguish themselves in a rapidly changing world,” said Greenberg. “Adapting Amy Holden Jones’ original screenplay for the stage with rock icon Melissa Etheridge, a beacon of strength and raw musical energy, and the brilliantly hilarious Sas Goldberg, is a dream collaboration on a story that is as relevant today as it was when we all first experienced it.”
Production plans and additional creative team will be announced shortly.
