Mean Girls‘ Aaron Samuels sure has done good since leaving North Shore High! Jonathan Bennett, the actor behind the iconic character who made October 3rd the best day ever in the 2004 feature, has emerged as one of the top talents at Hallmark, having starred in a slew of their holiday films over the past few years.

Exclusive: Skye Townsend (Black Lady Sketch Show) has joined the cast of the CBS comedy The Neighborhood for Season 6 in a recurring role. The show returns with new episodes on February 12.

Townsend’s character Courtney is loosely based on Sarah Francis Jones, girlfriend of The Neighborhood star Marcel Spears, and her real-life experience going into labor at a Beyoncé Renaissance concert.

Courtney is described as very smart—she entered MIT at 16 and worked at Jpl before 21— very cool, very outgoing and with a great sense of humor. She worked with Marty (Spears) at Jpl and he’s recently hired her as an electrical engineer at The Fuse Box. A few months back, they hooked up and now Courtney is pregnant. She’s very upfront about the fact that she likes Marty, but she won’t marry him.

Additionally, Kevin Pollak will also return in Season 6 as Dave Johnson’s (Max Greenfield) father.

A24 are delivering a special gift to Max this December, as Leo Reich’s acclaimed stand-up show Literally Who Cares?! hits the streamer. The comedian has already won over the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Off-Broadway with runs of the show, but this performance was taped at EartH in London. Consider checking it out – if A24 got involved in the project, you know you’ll definitely see something weird and special.

But if you’re looking for something more serious, add the new three-part documentary series Murder In Boston: Roots, Rampage & Reckoning to your watch list this month. The upcoming series delves into the fallout from the investigation into Charles “Chuck” Stuart’s 911 call reporting that he and his pregnant wife, had been shot in Boston’s Mission Hill neighborhood in 1989.

Here’s everything coming to (and leaving) HBO and Max this month…
