Fox is looking to make a literal splash next Super Bowl Sunday, by slotting the freshman action drama Rescue: Hi-Surf after the Big Game on Feb. 9, 2025.
As Fox has done with its recent Super Bowl lead-outs (Next Level Chef in 2023, The Masked Singer in 2020), rather than try to launch a brand-new show that night, Rescue: Hi-Surf will have already debuted this fall, airing Mondays at 9/8c after 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5.

Shoots, da kine “Rescue Hi-Surf” is one lucky TV show, brah. Fox just gave it the cherry timeslot after Super Bowl Lix on Feb. 9, 2025. That’s a big vote of confidence for the freshman drama, which is set to premiere this fall on Monday nights at 9 p.m. Et, after “9-1-1: Lone Star.”
Although the impact of the Super Bowl lead-out has varied over the years, it proved to be a huge boon this year to CBS, which launched “Tracker” after Super Bowl Lviii on Feb. 11 and watched that drama turn into a big hit. The last time Fox aired the Super Bowl, in 2023, it ran an episode of its hit food competition series “Next Level Chef.” And in 2020, Fox aired an episode of another unscripted program, “The Masked Singer.”
Fox last ran a scripted program behind the Super Bowl in 2017, when the network launched the series premiere of “24: Legacy,...

Fox last month doubled down on its commitment to Rescue: Hi-Surf, picking up seven additional episodes of the lifeguard drama to bring its first season to 19 episodes. The network now is tripling down on the John Wells Productions series by giving it the biggest platform in television, a berth following the 2025 Super Bowl.
A special episode of Rescue Hi-Surf will air on Feb. 9 after Fox Sports’ presentation of Super Bowl Lix, the network announced Monday morning, ahead of its upfront presentation.
This will be the first time in eight years that Fox will give the post-Super Bowl slot to a scripted series; the last two times the network carried the big game, it went with the unscripted The Masked Singer and Next Level Chef as lead-outs.

Natasha Rothwell didn’t plan to be on HBO.
The rising multi-hyphenate star was writing for “Insecure” when creator Issa Rae took her aside and suggested she play Kelli Prenny, the core friend group’s loose canon who would remain Mvp throughout the show’s five-season run. Rothwell, then just three months on the job, remembers thinking she was in trouble before bursting into tears in Rae’s office.
“I really just wanted to be a part of my very first writers’ room for a scripted television series and kind of had blinders on,” Rothwell told IndieWire in a phone interview. “I’m so grateful to Issa and Prentice [Penny] for seeing what I was refusing to see: My unspoken desire to express myself in front of the camera as well.”

“The White Lotus” gave us the sinister tropical vacation we never knew we needed — and delivered some of the best performances of 2021.
“Is ‘The White Lotus’ a murder-mystery? Yes. Is it also a comedy? Absolutely,” IndieWire’s TV critic Ben Travers wrote in his review of the HBO limited series. “Does it confront the harsh truths of America’s wealth gap by studying a contained batch of subjects on either end of the ever-widening spectrum? It would be weird if I said, ‘No,’ so yup, that’s there, too.”
Murray Bartlett, Connie Britton, Alexandra Daddario, Fred Hechinger, Jake Lacy, Brittany O’Grady, Natasha Rothwell, Sydney Sweeney, and Steve Zahn led the ensemble series, with breakout star Jennifer Coolidge reminding us why she’s an icon for her performance as a grieving (and tone-deaf) elite.

If we do see any hotel guests at The White Lotus return for Season 2, TVLine readers have a clear favorite.
We posted a poll earlier this week asking you to choose up to three characters from HBO’s dark comedy to come back for another stay. (The White Lotus has already been renewed for another season set in a new locale with a new cast, but series creator Mike White has hinted that a few characters may make an encore appearance.) And we shouldn’t be surprised that Jennifer Coolidge’s kooky Tanya topped the list, with 20.7 percent of the total vote.

This post contains spoilers for the season finale of The White Lotus, which is available now on HBO and HBO Max.
Last Monday, fans of The White Lotus were greeted with exciting news: HBO and Mike White had agreed to make another season, albeit one set at a new locale within the fictional White Lotus resort chain, and with different characters. This is not surprising. White designed the show to be largely pandemic-proof, since the cast and crew can take over a real resort together and create their own bubble for production.

Can he jet ski? Nope, a hurricane came through a few days ago and the water is still too dangerous. Can he water ski? Nope. See aforementioned hurricane. The guest gets visibly peeved, but due to the unflagging hospitality of the harried manager, he shakes it off and keeps searching for something to do.

There’s a moment in the first episode of The White Lotus in which a character heads up to the front desk at the eponymous Hawaiian resort and asks the manager for some activity recommendations. Can he jet ski? Nope, a hurricane came through a few days ago and the water is still too dangerous. Can he water ski? Nope. See aforementioned hurricane. The guest gets visibly peeved, but due to the unflagging hospitality of the harried manager, he shakes it off and keeps searching for something to do.

Spoiler Alert: The following story contains details from the Season 1 finale of HBO’s The White Lotus.
“Now, we are starting down a very dark road,” Shane Patton (Jake Lacy) says in tonight’s episode of The White Lotus, “and you’d better be sure you really want to go there.”
While the wealthy man-child’s comments are directed toward his new wife Rachel (Alexandra Daddario), they’re certainly not the only ones headed down a “dark road” in Sunday’s finale “Departures,” written and directed by Mike White.
The episode opens on Nicole (Connie Britton) and Mark Mossbacher (Steve Zahn), two of the only people in the series who have managed to stumble upon some kind of happiness. While Mark has been unfaithful in the past, it appears he redeemed himself in the eyes of his wife in last week’s episode, after coming to her rescue, when she...

Spoiler alert! If you have not seen or intend to see Episode 5 of “The White Lotus” titled “The Lotus-Eaters,” proceed with caution.
Well, we are over halfway through HBO’s limited series “The White Lotus” and we still have the same number of potential murder victims (and suspects) as we started with. Given that the series finale is next weekend, I’m thinking we’ll finally have some answers sooner rather than later though.
Be sure to refer here for recaps of Episodes 1, 2, 3 and 4 so we can get into Episode 5, “The Lotus-Eaters.” There’s a lot to unpack in this one.

Spoiler alert! If you have not seen or intend to see Episode 4 of “The White Lotus” titled “Recentering,” proceed with caution.
If you’ve been keeping up with “The White Lotus,” then you’ve probably noticed that the show, written and directed by Mike White, is far more concerned with the social satire than the murder it keeps teasing us with. If that’s an itch you need scratched, there is plenty of other HBO Max programming for you. But personally, I’m loving the show’s approach.
Still, now that we’re past the series halfway mark, I can’t help but wonder if the emphasis on the character dynamics is intended to distract us from some killer in plain sight.
First make sure you’re caught up on Episodes 1, 2 and 3 but, without further ado, let’s jump into Episode 4, “Recentering.”
