‘It's Always Sunny' Star Glenn Howerton Wanted Series to End: ‘I Was Aching to Do Other Things'
After 20 years and 17 seasons, it's tough to imagine a world where 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' isn't on television, but there was a point where one member of its reliable ensemble — which consists of Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, Rob McElhenney (aka Rob Mac), Kaitlin Olson, and Danny DeVito — almost bowed out. At the July 1 PaleyLive 20th anniversary panel (via People), Howerton revealed that prior to the start of Season 12, which broadcast on FXX in 2017, he told the creative team, 'Look, I just don't want to wear out our welcome.' 'I was worried that maybe we had sort of peaked or something, and I just was like, you know, we've been doing this for a long time. And I think I was also anxious,' Howerton said. 'I had not figured out yet how to stretch myself and be able to do other things that I wanted to do with my career outside of the show… I just hadn't figured out how to do that yet. I was aching to do other things, and so I was starting to feel a little boxed in, frankly.' More from IndieWire Quinta Brunson Signals That 'Abbott Elementary' May End Soon: 'Our Show Is Very Time-Consuming' Hollywood Remembers Julian McMahon, Star of 'Nip Tuck,' 'Charmed,' 'Fantastic Four' - 'A Clown Disguised as a Matinee Idol' The cast was insistent, saying that they did not want the show to end. He simply said, 'Oh, well I can't stop you.' 'And then Seasons 13 and 14, I came back as an actor but I wasn't in the writers' room.' Howerton had made appearances in many other series, including 'The Mindy Project' and 'Fargo,' but after he 'figured out how to do that' — meaning juggle additional projects — he would take on such hefty assignments as the sitcom 'A.P. Bio' and films like 'The Hunt' and 'Blackberry.' Meanwhile, 'It's Always Sunny' kept going, and so did he. '[They] just kept writing it and kept writing him in,' McElhenney said, the show's official creator. 'And we're like, he's just gonna eventually say he's coming back. That's what happened.' 'It's Always Sunny' will drop its first two episodes of its 17th season, which will contain eight episodes, on July 9. Its season premiere will include the highly-anticipated second part of a crossover event with fellow Philadelphia-set sitcom 'Abbott Elementary.' An episode of that series with guest appearances from the entire 'Sunny' cast aired on ABC in January.

Forever Season 2: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on July 6, 2025, 19:30 IST Last updated July 6, 2025, 15:41 IST Netflix's Forever stole hearts with its tender take on young love, pulling from Judy Blume's classic 1975 novel. After Season 1 dropped on May 8, 2025, fans were thrilled when Netflix greenlit a second season just days later on May 14. So, what's in store for Keisha and Justin? Here's the latest on Forever Season 2—release date guesses, who's coming back, and what the story might hold. Forever Season 2 Release Date Rumours Alright, no official date yet, and it's killing me. But let's do some detective work. Season 1 was shot from April to July 2024 and hit our screens in May 2025. If Netflix keeps that vibe, filming for Season 2 could start late 2025 or early 2026. That points to a release around summer 2026—maybe June or July if we're lucky. Forever Season 2 Cast Update Keisha and Justin are the heart of this show, so they're def coming back. Here's the squad we're expecting to see: Lovie Simone as Keisha Clark: The determined track star navigating young love and her path to Howard University. Michael Cooper Jr. as Justin Edwards: The music-loving basketball player with ADHD, pursuing his dreams in music. Xosha Roquemore as Shelly Clark: Keisha's supportive mother. Karen Pittman as Dawn Edwards: Justin's strict but loving mother. Wood Harris as Eric Edwards: Justin's father, a restaurateur who shapes the family's dynamics. Marvin Lawrence Winans III as Jaden Edwards: Justin's younger brother. Barry Shabaka Henley as George: Keisha's grandfather and surrogate father figure. Niles Fitch as Darius: Justin's friend. Ali Gallo as Chloe: A recurring character in the teens' circle. Paigion Walker as Tiffany: Keisha's older cousin. E'myri Crutchfield and Xavier Mills: Additional supporting roles from Season 1. What to Expect in Forever Season 2 Forever Season 1 ended on a bittersweet note, with Keisha and Justin mutually deciding to part ways as she heads to Howard University and he pursues his music career, deferring his enrollment at Northwestern. The finale, underscored by Frank Ocean's 'Moon River,' saw Justin suggest they might be ready for each other in ten years, leaving fans hopeful for a future reunion. Since Judy Blume's novel is a standalone story with no sequel, Season 2 will chart new territory. Mara Brock Akil, the show's creator, has teased that the series will continue to explore themes of self-discovery, identity, and the lasting impact of first love. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly , she emphasized the importance of showing young people navigating relationships maturely, suggesting Season 2 will focus on Keisha and Justin's individual growth while keeping their connection alive.

A Last Ride for Clyde Aikau, Surfing Royalty
Visuals by Gabriela Bhaskar Text by Talya Minsberg Under the sparkling morning sun and in the warm waters of Oahu's South Shore, Clyde Aikau took his last ride last week. The legendary Hawaiian surfer, lifeguard, community leader and man known to most as Uncle Clyde died on May 3 at age 75. He is perhaps best known for being the younger brother of Eddie Aikau, a title he wore with pride. Clyde Aikau at the opening ceremony of the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational in 2018. Brian Bielmann/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images Eddie was a surfer and the first lifeguard on the North Shore of Oahu, where he saved more than 500 final act was one of service. He was part of a voyage in 1978 retracing the Polynesian migration route between Hawaii and Tahiti. The canoe capsized, and Eddie paddled for help. The rest of the crew was rescued, and Eddie was never seen again. Clyde, who was 28 at the time, spent the rest of his life immortalizing Eddie's legacy. In 1984, the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational at Waimea Bay was founded to help honor his memory. It has become one of the world's most prestigious and elusive surfing contests. The Eddie Aikau Big Wave contest in 2018. Brian Bielmann/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images The contest, a labor of love for Clyde, is held only when conditions are just right. But the paddle-out – a floating memorial service – is held annually. Paddle-outs, while not a Polynesian tradition per se, incorporate many traditional Polynesian elements. The Eddie contest helped popularize them. 'We know Eddie because of Clyde,' said Isaiah Walker, a history professor at Brigham Young University-Hawaii. Eddie is one of two real legends in Hawaii, he added. Duke Kahanamoku, a legendary swimmer and surfer, and Eddie were both 'elevated to the status of Godlike characters.' Fittingly, the paddle-out for Clyde began in the shadow of the Duke Kahanamoku statue in Waikiki. Being recognized by Clyde — through an invite to the Eddie or a nod in the surfing lineup — was akin to being given a nod by royalty. 'My dad always said that he always followed his brother's footsteps because that was his idol,' said Ha'a Aikau, Clyde's son. 'And my idol was my dad.' 'If you can help someone in any way, that's a good thing, it's a good day,' Ha'a recalled his father saying. More than 600 people showed up to honor Clyde's mana, the Hawaiian word for spirit. It's a word used often to describe his relentless yet humble life force. Always giving, Ha'a said, his father would have wanted to feed everyone at the paddle-out, but the city permit didn't allow it. If Clyde had his way, he would 'give everyone a nice little bento and a nice strawberry soda — his favorite Diamond Head brand,' Ha'a said. Eleni Aikau, Clyde's wife, thanked everyone for celebrating her husband's life well lived, for 'having one more ride with Uncle Clyde.''He wasn't able to surf the last couple of years, so this is the closest we can get to getting him back in the water,' she said, getting choked up. Waikiki beach boys, many of whom Clyde hired decades ago to help teach tourists how to surf, shared the honor of holding Clyde's ashes. But the Aikau family decided not to spread the ashes in the waters of Waikiki. His final resting place would be Waimea Bay, a spiritual valley for the Aikau family dating back to the Kingdom of Hawaii. It's where Clyde honored Eddie every year. And where the Aikau family and Hawaiian community would continue to honor Clyde, too.
