Angourie Rice and Renee Rapp were joined by their castmates at the event on Monday night (January 8) at AMC Lincoln Square 13 in New York City.

Tina Fey and producer Lorne Michaels had a special guest join the cast – the original film’s star Lindsay Lohan!

The author’s first collaboration with Prime Video, “Harlan Coben’s Shelter” premiered over the summer, and the thriller series has already been cancelled by Amazon this week.

Prime Video also axed “The Horror of Dolores Roach” after one season.

Based on the first novel in the bestselling author Coben’s Mickey Bolitar trilogy, “Harlan Coben’s Shelter” follows the story of Mickey Bolitar after the sudden death of his father leads him to start a new life in Kasselton, New Jersey. Mickey quickly finds himself tangled in the mysterious disappearance of a new student at his school, Ashley Kent, which leads to uncovering unimaginable secrets within their quiet suburban community.

“With the help of his friends—the inventive Spoon and the secretive Ema—Mickey pulls back the sleepy façade of Kasselton to reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances, deaths, and legends … and his own complex family history.

It looks like Prime Video's cancellation spree is far from over.

Freshman dramas Harlan Coban's Shelter and The Horror of Dolores Roach have been canceled alongside With Love.

The streaming service revealed the decision on Tuesday evening, which comes right before Thanksgiving.

It's not uncommon for media conglomerates to bury this kind of news around the holiday period, so there's less awareness of it and, in turn, less pushback from their fans.

But all three shows had devoted audiences who would have probably followed them wherever they went.

A League of Their Own, The Peripheral Canceled at Prime Video

Prime Video hasn't had the best track record in recent months for canceling many shows -- some of which had been renewed already.

A League of Their Own and The Peripheral, for example, were in early development on new seasons, but Prime Video took the liberty of rescinding their renewals during...

Harlan Coben's Shelter has been firing from all cylinders since its impressive launch on Prime Video earlier this month.

On Harlan Coben's Shelter Season 1 Episode 5, the mystery intensifies, and some more secrets are revealed.

TV Fanatic scored an exclusive first look at the episode, and it sets the tone for a thrilling hour of this new drama.

In the clip, Mickey and Spoon follow Ema and get more than they bargained for.

Ema notices they've been doing some investigating of their own and finds the pair outside her house, which is far more luxurious than they anticipated.

Irate that they're meddling, Ema is also taken aback, but not as much as Mickey and Spoon.

How will their decision to find out more about Ema help or hinder their dynamic as we enter the back half of Harlan Coben's Shelter Season 1?

We don't know, but we will be watching it all play out.

It only takes nine episodes for Netflix's Grand Army to completely hook you, but once it's over, you'll be hungry for more. The drama, which premiered on the streaming site on Oct. 16, follows a group of New York City teenagers who attend the highly competitive public high school in Brooklyn known as Grand Army. The first season tackles systemic racism, sexual assault, international adoption, sexuality, feminism, and more as the students fight to succeed, survive, and control their future in an ever-changing world.

Loosely based on Slut: The Play, written by showrunner and theater educator Katie Cappiello, Grand Army is reminiscent of shows like Euphoria and Degrassi, delving deep into the world of the new generation and all the ways they can hurt themselves and each other as they try to make sense of the world around them. In the final episodes of the season, we witness students stage a sit-in against in-school racism,...

While many networks are starting to exhaust their scripted offerings, Netflix continues to have a lot to offer.

The latest offering comes from playwright Katie Cappiello.

Grand Army is a gritty young adult drama debuting October 16th on the streamer.

The series "tunnels into a generation that’s raging and rising. Five students at the largest public high school in Brooklyn take on our chaotic world as they fight to succeed, survive, wild out, break free and seize the future," according to Netflix.

Move over Skins and Euphoria, Netflix’s Grand Army is joining the gritty (and hopefully not too realistic) high school show bandwagon.

Netflix has unveiled a release date and first trailer for Grand Army, an adult drama about a New York high school from playwright Katie Cappiello. Grand Army will premiere all nine of its hour-long episodes on October 16 on Netflix. Here is the aforementioned, decidedly gritty, trailer.

Oh yes, there is some Skins DNA in that bad boy. A mournful saxophone rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner over images of a dingy New York high school is what one might call a dramatic layup. But darn it all if it doesn’t work. Social issues highlighted here are of a much darker Degrassi variety, including kneeling for the anthem, rampant uncontrollable teenage sexuality, and perhaps even a school shooting or another similar crisis.

Netflix’s synopsis for the series reads:...

Netflix has released the first look at Grand Army, an upcoming young adult drama that debuts October 16th on the streaming platform.

Set at the fictional Grand Army High, the largest public high school in Brooklyn, the show follows five high school students as they struggle with the challenges of growing up in an ever-changing world. Grand Army is based off of Slut, Katie Cappiello’s 2013 play that reckons with teenage sexual assault; as seen in the trailer, the show expands the play’s themes to include issues of racial justice,...
