All About 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Actor Gavin Casalegno's Wife, Cheyanne Casalegno
Gavin Casalegno did not confirm his relationship with his wife, Cheyanne Casalegno, née King, until they were married. He posted about the wedding on November 12, 2024, sharing several shots from the ceremony. In the first one, he looks adoringly at Cheyanne as she approaches the altar in her wedding dress. In the caption, he wrote, 'FOREVER CAPTIVATED BY YOU🕊️' It was a shock to fans who mainly knew Gavin as Jeremiah from the Prime Video hit series The Summer I Turned Pretty. But it's not too surprising, considering what Gavin has said in the past about how he likes to keep his relationships private. In a June 2023 interview with Cosmopolitan, the actor shared that he would 'prefer dating someone who isn't in the social media space at all.' He added, 'I think that would lead to a lot less problems, to be blunt.' The next month, Gavin told Shondaland that fame has changed his relationship to sharing details about his life. 'I had to really learn to navigate my own privacy and well-being,' he said. 'The quick fix for me is just deleting Instagram and all these apps to kind of check out, to be with my family and be with myself, to spend some time with the Lord—that's really where I thrive.' So, it's understandable that he kept his connection to Cheyanne private until they were as official as it gets. Here's what is known about Cheyanne Casalegno and her relationship with Gavin Casalegno. Cheyanne attended Baylor University, graduating in May 2023 with a bachelor of science in nursing. She celebrated the milestone on Instagram. She later fêted becoming a registered nurse in July 2023 with a picture of herself in a clapboard hat, writing in the caption, 'Officially passed my boards!…It's now Cheyanne King BSN, RN to you 😜' Like Gavin, Cheyanne appears to be very devout in her faith. She also celebrated her May graduation with a message of gratitude, saying, 'What an honor it has been to endure this journey with the Lord and be the first in my family to graduate college!' She added, 'I can't wait to do ministry and love on people in the medical field and bring the light of Jesus into dark places! Thank you, Jesus, for such an opportunity as this.' Cheyanne does not post excessively about her husband, but he has made some appearances on her social media platforms, like in this 'Get Ready With Me' montage: Long before their wedding hard launch, Cheyanne started posting very discreet pics of Gavin, carefully hiding his face. Gavin began to make appearances on her Instagram Stories in spring 2023. In September 2023, he seemed to make a sneaky appearance during her trip to Asia. He also appeared in another photo carousel from her visit to Italy. But the couple used their November 2024 wedding pics to announce their romance. The same week that the third and final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty premiered on Prime Video, Cheyanne announced that she and Gavin are moving to Thailand for the summer. In a video posted to Instagram, Cheyanne shared that they would be pausing their new house video content because they'll be living in Thailand for two months. She used a narrator for her video announcement, who said that she 'and her husband tend to be very unpredictable in their next move. Sometimes, even they are surprised by the things they say "yes" to, but this is a whole new level of spontaneous, and she can't wait to bring you along.'

‘The Residence' Star Uzo Aduba Receives Comedy Actress Emmy Nomination After Series Cancellation
Uzo Aduba picked up a best comedy actress Emmy nomination for The Residence after the Netflix murder mystery was canceled after one season. Aduba starred as eccentric detective Cordelia Cupp, who was enlisted to help solve the murder of White House chief usher A.B. Wynter (Giancarlo Esposito) during a White House state dinner. Aduba as Cupp was billed as the 'greatest detective in the world.' More from The Hollywood Reporter Harrison Ford Lands First-Ever Emmy Nomination For 'Shrinking' 'Monsters: The Erik and Lyle Menendez Story' Nominated for Best Limited Series, 3 Acting Emmys Emmys 2025: List of Nominees Had The Residence gone to a second season, the plan was for the whodunnit to become an anthology series with Cupp taking on a new case each season. Aduba won an earlier Emmy in 2014 for outstanding guest actress in a comedy for her role as Suzanne 'Crazy Eyes' Warren on Orange Is the New Black, and a year later took the Emmy for outstanding actress in a drama for the same role. Then in 2020, Aduba was awarded the win for best actress in a limited series or movie for her role on Mrs. America. Netflix canceled The Residence after a one season run. The freshman series hailed from Shonda Rhimes' Shondaland and creator/showrunner Paul William Davies (Scandal). The Hollywood Reporter TV critic in a review of the series wrote: 'The Residence is an entertainingly chaotic goof, a dramedy that immediately sets a frantic tone that's only occasionally varied in the seven episodes (out of eight total) sent to critics. I found it both amusing and exhausting, with Aduba's performance and the energy of the wildly overstuffed ensemble elevating a mystery that's treated with too much frenzy to ever become emotionally involving.' The cast for the first (and only) season of the Columbo-esque mystery series also featured Randall Park, Giancarlo Esposito, Susan Kelechi Watson, Edwina Findley, Bronson Pinchot, Mary Wiseman, Julieth Restrepo, Al Mitchell, Mel Rodriguez, Ken Marino, Jason Lee and Jane Curtin, among others. Davies executive produced the series with Shondaland principals Rhimes and Betsy Beers.

Netflix has canceled a pair of first-year series, The Residence and Pulse. The two shows both premiered in the spring and had four-week runs in Netflix's internal, worldwide top 10 rankings, with The Residence lasting a bit longer than than in Nielsen's U.S. streaming charts. As usual, Netflix does cost-benefit analysis in making renewal or cancellation decisions. More from The Hollywood Reporter The Front Man Speaks: 'Squid Game' Star Lee Byung-hun Unpacks His Character's Mysterious Inner Thoughts 'The Residence' Was Mostly Good, But It Didn't Quite Earn a Second Season Janelle James Looks Back on Not Getting Role on Netflix's 'GLOW' After She "Nailed" Audition The Residence is a White House-set murder mystery starring Uzo Aduba as Cordelia Cupp, the 'greatest detective in the world.' The series hails from Shonda Rhimes' Shondaland and creator/showrunner Paul William Davies (Scandal). Had the series gone forward, the plan was for it to become an anthology with Cupp taking on a new case each season.

In those same four weeks, Nielsen recorded about 83.1 million hours of viewing, about 47 percent of the worldwide total. The Residence spent two additional weeks in the Nielsen rankings, adding 15.55 million more hours just above 2 million more views. Pulse was Netflix's first take at a medical procedural. Over its four weeks in the streamer's worldwide rankings, it drew 20.2 million views and 162.1 million total viewing hours.

Netflix's latest cancellations include TWO shocking fan favorites
In a swift and surprising move, Netflix has cancelled two of its newest series, Pulse and The Residence, after just one season each. The streaming giant, known for its growing slate of original content and equally swift cancellations, confirmed the news this week, leaving fans of both shows reeling. Freshman medical drama Pulse, starring Willa Fitzgerald and Colin Woodell, was pulled after a single ten‑episode run. In a swift and surprising move, Netflix has canceled two of its newest series, Pulse and The Residence, after just one season each. Pic: Netflix Launched on April 3, 2025, the series followed third-year ER resident Dr. Danielle 'Danny' Simms (Fitzgerald) at Miami's Maguire Trauma Center. The show debuted with 6.5 million views on the Netflix Top 10, followed by 8.5 million, 3.2 million and 2 million views in the weeks that followed. Despite an initially promising debut, it garnered mixed reviews, 48% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, and viewership plateaued amid stiff competition from other medical dramas, notably Max's The Pitt. The streaming giant, known for its growing slate of original content and equally swift cancellations, confirmed the news this week, leaving fans of both shows reeling. Pic: Jessica Brooks/Netflix Besides Fitzgerald and Woodell, the cast included Justina Machado, Jack Bannon, Jessie T. Usher, Jessy Yates, Chelsea Muirhead, Daniela Nieves, Néstor Carbonell, Jessica Rothe, Santiago Segura, Ash Santos and Arturo Del Puerto. Pulse wasn't the only casualty, Netflix also confirmed the cancellation of The Residence, the much-anticipated White House-set mystery drama from Shondaland. Created by Paul William Davies (Scandal, For the People) and executive produced by Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers, the series premiered in March 2025 and promised a tantalizing blend of political drama. Inspired loosely by Kate Andersen Brower's nonfiction book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House , the fictionalized adaptation centered on Cordelia Cupp (Uzo Aduba), an eccentric, truth-obsessed detective called in to investigate a murder during a high-profile state dinner. Featuring an ensemble cast that included Andre Braugher, Jason Lee, and Randall Park, the show had all the makings of a prestige hit, but reviews were lukewarm. The Residence debuted at number two in the Netflix English TV Top 10 list back in March, opening with 6.4 million views and ultimately spending four weeks on the chart. What do we think? Is anything safe from Netflix's chopping block?
