Let’s go back, back to the beginning, because The Reunion: Laguna Beach is here.

Nearly 22 years after Laguna Beach introduced the world to the lives of a group teens from Orange County, California, the cast came together for the ultimate reunion special, which was filmed in October 2025 and is set to air Friday, April 10, on The Roku Channel.

Stars Lauren Conrad, Kristin Cavallari, Stephen Colletti and more spoke with ABC News Digital at the premiere last month, which was held at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica, California.

The idea to bring everyone back together came after the Laguna Beach High School alums had their own 20-year high school reunion.

“We’ve had a lot of events recently,” Conrad said. “We had our 20-year high school reunion, Stephen and Kristen did a beautiful podcast where they reflected on the whole show, and one by one, we all went on their podcasts and talked to them — and I think everyone walked away from that feeling really good about the experience.”

She added, “So it started the conversation of, like, should we all get together as a group, which we haven’t done, and kind of reflect on this show, celebrate what it meant and talk about the fact that a lot of us are still really good friends?”

In a Q&A during the screening, Cavallari said that even though she and Colletti have invited everyone to appear on their podcast individually, “The one thing that was missing was getting everyone together in the same room.”

In Laguna Beach, Conrad’s storyline included a love triangle between her, Cavallari and Colletti.

Although Conrad and Cavallari previously addressed their alleged beef in 2022 on Cavallari’s podcast, the trailer for the reunion features her and Cavallari finally sitting down in person and addressing how the show framed them as enemies.

Cavallari said during the Q&A, “We actually have a lot more in common than I think I thought.”

Kerry Condon is heading into the woods with Maya Hawke.

The Oscar-nominated actress is set to star opposite Hawke in Netflix’s adaptation of Liz Moore’s bestselling 2024 novel The God of the Woods.

As previously announced, Hawke will play Judy Luptack, an investigator working to solve the disappearance of a 13-year-old girl from her family’s upstate New York summer camp. Condon will play Alice Van Laar, the teen’s mother who’s been hardened by grief and past trauma.

The multigenerational drama series will explore how the girl’s disappearance may be connected to an earlier family tragedy. “As the past and present collide, the Van Laars’ wealth and influence unravel, revealing the damaging consequences of privilege and the abuse of power,” the description from Netflix reads.

Liz Moore and Liz Hannah will serve as co-showrunners, writers and executive producers.

“We love making TV and can’t wait to bring The God of the Woods to life with our partners at Sony and Netflix,” Moore and Hannah tell Netflix. “We hope everyone falls in love (and hate) with these characters as much as we have.”

A release date has not yet been announced.

Michael J. Fox is quashing fears that he had died with humor and reassurance.

The Back to the Future actor took to social media on Wednesday to confirm he is alive and doing “OK” after a CNN package mistakenly posted online appeared to indicate that Fox had died.

“How do you react when you turn on the TV and CNN is reporting your death?” Fox wrote on Threads after a now-deleted CNN package titled “Remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox” was shared online, according to media reports.

Fox went on to list a few theoretical ways one may react to seeing reports of their own death.

“Do you…A) switch to MNSBC, or whatever they are calling themselves these days, (B) Pour scolding hot water on your lap, if it hurts your fine, (C) Call your wife, hopefully she’s concerned but reassuring, (D) Relax, they do this once every year, (E) Ask yourself wtf?”

“I thought the world was ending, but apparently it’s just me and I’m ok,” he added.

The actor signed the post “Love, Mike.”

A CNN spokesperson said in a statement to ABC News on Thursday that the package “was published in error.”

“We have removed it from our platforms and send our apologies to Michael J. Fox and his family,” the spokesperson added.

Fox has been open about his health issues since announcing his Parkinson’s diagnosis in 1998.

The actor spoke to People in 2020 about his decadeslong experience with the disease, saying, “Optimism is sustainable when you keep coming back to gratitude, and what follows from that is acceptance. Accepting that this thing has happened, and you accept it for what it is.”

He continued, “It doesn’t mean that you can’t endeavor to change. It doesn’t mean you have to accept it as a punishment or a penance, but just put it in its proper place. Then see how much the rest of your life you have to thrive in, and then you can move on.”

Fox attended PaleyFest in Los Angeles this week, appearing at the Shrinking season 3 wrap celebration on Tuesday evening, according to an Instagram post that Fox reshared on his Instagram Story Wednesday.

The actor appeared in three episodes of the Apple TV+ series this past season, guest-starring as Parkinson’s patient Gerry.

Pink’s transformation into the ultimate Broadway mom is complete: She’s hosting the Tony Awards in June.

Pink’s daughter, Willow Hart Sage, has set her sights on being a Broadway star, so Pink has moved the family to New York City to help her pursue her dream. Pink has also taken Willow to multiple shows, complete with cast meet-and-greets, and sent the teen out to interview Broadway stars when she guest-hosted The Kelly Clarkson Show. 

But the Tony Awards is some next-level stuff. Pink says in a statement, “When I was asked to host the Tonys, I immediately thought, ‘I have to get permission from my daughter.’ I’ve never been on Broadway, and shouldn’t you have to have been on Broadway in order to host? That seems fair and right.”

“But when I asked my daughter, she was really excited about being able to have a ticket to go to the Tonys, so I’m hosting the Tonys and I’m really, really, excited and very nervous because that girl is a tough crowd!”

On Instagram, Pink posted a video of herself fulfilling her Tony Awards host requirement to be “on Broadway” by stepping one foot onto the stage during a performance of The Great Gatsby.

“Special thanks to the team at @bwaygatsby for letting me share the stage, even just for a moment,” she wrote.

The 79th annual Tony Awards will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on June 7.
