The Emmys' limited series/TV movie acting categories have come to represent some of the best and most-talked-about shows on television, and this year's crop of contenders is no exception.
The seven actors who joined the 2025 Envelope Roundtable were Javier Bardem, who plays father, victim and alleged molester Jose Menendez in Netflix's 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story'; Renée Zellweger, who reprises her role as the British romantic heroine in 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy'; Stephen Graham, who co-created and stars in 'Adolescence' as the father of a teenage boy who commits a heinous murder; Jenny Slate, who plays the best friend of a terminally ill woman in FX's 'Dying for Sex'; Brian Tyree Henry, who portrays a man posing as a federal agent in order to rip off drug dealers in Apple TV+'s 'Dope Thief'; Elizabeth Banks, who takes on the role of an estranged sibling and recovering alcoholic in Prime Video's 'The Better Sister'; and Sacha Baron Cohen, who appears as the deceived husband of a successful filmmaker in Apple TV+'s 'Disclaimer.'

Every year, Emmy prognosticators weigh the chances of TV's newcomers. But what about newcomers that are also old-timers?
Whether you prefer to call them remakes, revivals or reboots, reimaginations of beloved movies and TV shows are all the rage: Think of CBS' 'Matlock,' which swapped in Academy Award winner Kathy Bates for Andy Griffith as a charming lawyer who gets things done in the legal system; Peacock's 'Bel-Air,' which turned a multicam sitcom into a drama; or HBO's 'Perry Mason,' which was less about the courtroom than Mason as private investigator.

Is there a post-credit scene in 'Happy Gilmore 2'?

Adam Sandler's long-awaited comedy sequel Happy Gilmore 2 hit the streaming platform Netflix on Friday, bringing back everyone's favorite hockey player turned golfer. Sandler reprised his role as the titular Happy, this time overcoming personal grief and a battle with alcohol to turn his life around and support his family. Several stars from the original -- like Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald and Ben Stiller -- return, and the movie is full of cameos, including Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and a litany of professional golfers. While it would be hard to surpass the original Happy Gilmore, it's a worthy sequel that is full of belly laughs and hilarious moments. It also brings a lot of heart to the character of Happy as he has to deal with a comeback of his own, both personally and on the golf course. When the movie wraps up and the credits roll, should you stick around a little longer for any post-credit scenes? Nope! There are no additional scenes after the story concludes, and Netflix will likely just throw you right into the original Happy Gilmore if you let it play out (but only until it leaves the platform at the end of the month). Honestly, not a bad deal. Happy Gilmore 2 is now streaming on Netflix.
