This Is Us star Mandy Moore has a new project on the way, and fans are already quite excited about it. She is the latest star attached to a new Hulu project, and it reunites her with This Is Us show creator Dan Fogelman.
According to Deadline, Fogelman is working on a new show for Hulu that does not yet have a title. The media outlet noted that Moore's character is named Lauren, and her father is an owner of an NFL team.
William H. Macy from Shameless has been cast as Moore's father, Hank Durkin. Law & Order: SVU star Christopher Meloni has been tapped to play Danny Roarke, the NFL team's head coach.
Fogelman shared the news of Moore's addition to the cast via his Instagram page and fans went wild over it.
One comment read, "Mandy + NFL + Dan Fogelman?!! This might be my dream come true! So exciting!"
Another raved, "Sounds like a great project!"
On Deadline's Instagram post with the announcement, a fan shared, "Fantastic!! Another reason to watch!!"
Moore shared a screenshot of the announcement in an Instagram Story and wrote, "Elated is an understatement. Reunited with Dan, Jess, and my 20th family? Very grateful and can't wait to get to work!"
As Deadline noted, 20th Television is collaborating with Skydance Sports on the series. Jess Rosenthall is an executive producer, and he also worked with Moore and Fogelman on This Is Us.
Moore starred as family matriarch Rebecca Pearson throughout the six season run of This Is Us. After the series ended in 2022, Fogelman signed a big deal with Hulu. Another project of his, Paradise, stars Moore's This Is Us co-star Sterling K. Brown.
Fogelman and Moore also worked together on the animated Disney film Tangled. She voiced the character of Rapunzel, and Fogelman wrote the movie's screenplay.

'South Park' Turns Up The Heat On Trump With 'Perfect' Return Of Beloved Character
'South Park' released a new clip teasing Wednesday night's episode that features the return of a fan-favorite character as the show appears set to continue trolling President Donald Trump. The clip shows Towelie ― a sentient towel who loves to get high ― arriving by bus in Washington, D.C. to find the city under military control. 'This seems like the perfect place for a towel,' Towelie says as he watches a tank roll past the White House ― mimicking the real-life situation in which Trump has sent the National Guard into the city. Trump has claimed the military is needed to bring order to a city besieged by crime. However, the violent crime rate there dropped in both 2024 and 2025, leading critics to blast the move as a 'stunt.' 'South Park' has pulled a few stunts of its own since the show returned last month, mocking corporate parent Paramount for caving to Trump by agreeing to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit over '60 Minutes' that most legal observers considered frivolous. Related: Trump has claimed the settlement includes PSAs, and 'South Park' mockingly gave him one at the end of the episode, which showed a very realistic Trump stripping in the desert until he was naked, complete with a talking 'teeny tiny' penis. The show continued to go after Trump and his administration in the second episode, which focused mostly on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The next episode airs Wednesday night on Comedy Central, and will stream on Paramount+.

Onstage and Onscreen, The New York Times Is Ready for Its Close-Up
Times Insider explains who we are and what we do and delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how our journalism comes together. In the Betty Boop musical that was recently on Broadway, the titular cartoon character's arrival in the real world was greeted with a headline on the front page of The New York Times: 'BETTY BOOP IN NYC.' The fake front page, which an associate scenic designer, TJ Greenway, helped create for the production, is one of dozens of fake New York Times pages that have shown up in films, TV shows and stages over the past century. Sure, it would be easy enough to break news in a New York paper with a fictional name. But for decades, designers have set out to replicate The Times's instantly recognizable logo and typeface. Perhaps surprisingly, one does not necessarily need permission from the real New York Times to produce such original, editorial creations. Certain uses may sometimes be protected under the First Amendment — provided they are not so-called trademark uses, suggestive of endorsement, or deceptive or damaging to the newspaper, according to Simone Procas, a lawyer for The Times. (And The Times enforces its intellectual property rights when appropriate, she added.) Here are seven memorable Times cameos onstage and onscreen from the past few decades. 'Boop! The Musical' (2025) The Tony-nominated musical, which closed in July, found the animated character escaping her black-and-white universe for the real world. The show's creative team started with the layout of a real New York Times front page from 2023, the year that the original Chicago production of 'Boop!' began performances. The designers then slotted in a new headline and a photo of the character beside another story — which, it turned out, was about President Donald J. Trump being indicted as he ran for re-election.
