Is ‘Bob Hearts Abishola’ cancelled?

It was always going to be tough for sitcom supremo Chuck Lorre to follow up the mega-successful The Big Bang Theory, but he managed to devise another ratings winner right out the gate with Bob Hearts Abishola, the first comedy he created following TBBT‘s conclusion in 2019.

Surprisingly warm and big-hearted for the man who previously killed off Charlie Sheen by dumping a piano on his head in Two and a Half Men, Bob Hearts Abishola offered a rather groundbreaking show about the fusion of white American and Nigerian cultures. Starring Billy Gardell and Folake Olowofoyeku, across five seasons it’s unfolded the unlikely love story between a wealthy businessman from Detroit who falls for his nurse after suffering a heart attack.

But is season 5 the line of the line for Bob and Abishola?

Is Bob Hearts Abishola ending with season 5?

Yes, I’m afraid so, Bob Hearts Abishola is indeed ending with its fifth and current season. Whether that’s because it was officially cancelled or because the creators wished to end it is slightly hard to determine, however. In November 2023, press statements accompanying the announcement of the show’s conclusion from both CBS and producers avoided specifying the reason behind the decision.

Bob Hearts Abishola is about an unlikely love story, but also the premise that immigrants make America great,” shared executive producers Gina Yashere, Matt Ross, and Lorre, for instance. “We’ve loved bringing these stories to life and are excited for fans to see the final chapter of these two families, and the incredible work of this talented cast and crew.”

Meanwhile, president of CBS Entertainment Amy Reisenbach gushed about the series in her own statement, stating that the network is incredibly proud of what BHA achieved. “We are so proud to call Bob Hearts Abishola a CBS comedy as it helped establish a new generation of programming at the Network,” she shared. “We plan to celebrate it this spring and give fans the most amazing episodes to remember it by.”

Nevertheless, all the signs are pointing to the series calling it a day coming from CBS’s end rather than any kind of creative decision from the show’s writing team. Prior to the cancellation announcement, it was revealed that only Gardell and Olowofoyeku would return as series regulars for season 5, with the rest of the cast bumped down to recurring. Restrictive network-wide budget cuts, in the wake of the writers and actors’ strikes, is believed to be the reason behind the move. All in all, it seems that while Bob Hearts Abishola was popular at CBS, and with viewers, money issues simply forced the network’s hand in giving it the chop.

Bob Hearts Abishola may be ending earlier than expected, but it leaves behind a positive legacy and proof that a cross-cultural comedy like this can achieve mainstream appeal. Plus, it’s not over yet as new episodes unfold Mondays on CBS, with the series finale set for May 13.

Aditi Rao Hydari has recently captured the internet’s attention with her mesmerizing ‘gajagamini walk’ from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Netflix series, Heeramandi. The actor’s graceful performance in the song ‘Saiyaan Hatto Jaao’ has received widespread acclaim, prompting her to express gratitude towards her fans for their love and praise.

How did Aditi Rao Hydari create her viral walk in Heeramandi?

Aditi Rao Hydari recently shared how she feels deeply moved by the positive response to her performance. In a recent interview, she shared her feelings about the unexpected yet heartwarming reaction from the audience. “I am thanking everybody. That walk, just that little tukda from thumri, it is all over the internet. I really didn’t expect that and Sanjay sir did say, ‘Ye chaal bahut important hai (This walk is very important),’” Aditi said. She further reflected on the effort and dedication that went into perfecting the walk, which has now become iconic.

The Heeramandi actor provided a glimpse into the meticulous process behind the creation of the song, highlighting Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s deep involvement in every detail. The dance choreographer was Kruti Mahesh. Despite this, Bhansali engrossed himself in every aspect of the song’s choreography.

“Kruti Mahesh was there choreographing, but he was completely involved in every detail of the choreography. He was very particular about this walk and how it should happen. How will the dupatta fall, how will the waist move. Exactly when the ‘chan’ sound will be heard… it was quite incredible,” Aditi elaborated. This attention to detail is a hallmark of Bhansali’s work, ensuring that every movement, gesture, and nuance contributes to the overall impact of the scene.

For those unaware, Netflix recently released much-awaited, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar on May 1, 2024. Since then, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s OTT debut has garnered widespread acclaim for its grandeur, stellar performances, and storyline. It is currently available to stream on Netflix.

‘X-Men ’97’ season finale ending and post-credits scene, explained

Warning: This article contains full spoilers for X-Men ’97 episode 10.

There goes, X-Men ’97 season 1 — easily one of the finest stories Marvel Studios has ever told. Rarely has the studio behind the MCU delivered something both so authentic to its source material and celebratory of these characters and the universe they inhabit.

The bad news? This run of 10 terrific episodes, uncanny in how astonishing they were (see what I did there?), has now come to a close. The good news? This definitely isn’t the end of the road as a second season is on the way. As promised by the finale’s open-ended conclusion and, of course, a post-credits scene teasing what’s coming next.

So what happens in the last scenes of X-Men ’97‘s finale and what does it all mean?

Where are the X-Men?

“Tolerance is Extinction, Part 3” picks up right where we left off, with the X-Men trying to stop Magneto and Bastion’s competing plans to end life on Earth.

After the X-Men succeed in destroying Bastion’s Asteroid M, before it collides with the planet, the team are missing and presumed dead in the explosion. Forge searches for months for any trace of them — specifically, Storm — but to no avail. Finally, Bishop visits him and reveals the truth: someone, or something, saved the X-Men by flinging them somewhere (or somewhen) else in time. Bishop recruits Forge to help track the time-displaced X-Men down.

In 3000 BC Egypt, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Beast, Magneto, and Professor X fight off some ancient Egyptian guards and are aided by a mysterious masked figure. Once they fight is over, the gang thank the stranger and ask his name. “My name is En Sabah Nur,” he responds. That’s right, the X-Men have stumbled upon the younger version of their nemesis, Apocalypse!

Meanwhile, Jean Grey and Cyclops have been sent into the far-future, finding themselves in a barren wasteland in the year 3960 AD. They are approached by an elder wise woman who calls herself Mother Askani, leader of the Clan Askani. A boy then emerges from the Clan Askani’s tent and warns the rest that these two newcomers do not mean them harm. The young boy is extremely familiar-looking, what with his distinctive red hair. His name is Nathan — aka a young Cable, Scott and Jean/Madelyne’s son!

Is Apocalypse the big bad of X-Men ’97 season 2?

In true Marvel Studios style, the X-Men ’97 finale then concludes with a post-credits scene. The action returns to the ruins of Genosha in the present-day, where a shadowy figure stalks through the devastation caused by Bastion back in episode 5.

“So much pain, my children,” the figure booms, before retrieving a Queen of Hearts card from the rubble. “So much death…” As a shot of those distinctive blue lips makes clear, this is the grown-up Apocalypse, who seems all set to be the big bad of X-Men ’97 season 2. Even if we didn’t know we were getting one already, the “TO BE CONTINUED…” card at the episode’s end confirms it.

All things considered, it looks like we’re in for a deep-dive into Apocalypse’s character next time around, as the X-Men get to know his origins in the past while he cooks up some evil scheme in the present. The card he finds is clearly Gambit’s, so it’s very likely he’ll resurrect Remy and turn him into one of his Four Horsemen. Gambit alive again? Yay! Gambit turned evil? No way!

With any luck, X-Men ’97 season 2 will release sometime in 2025. For the meantime, all 10 episodes of season 1 can be streamed on Disney Plus.
