Guys With Kids is reuniting Tempestt Bledsoe (Marny) with Cosby Show costar Keshia Knight Pulliam in the NBC comedy’s season finale, set to air later this month.
The former Huxtable girls again play combative sisters, with Marny trying to land a job for Pulliam’s spoiled Bridget. “Bridget just enjoys life and pursues whatever whim comes to mind. She even has a horse overseas,” Pulliam says. “But,” says Bledsoe, “now it’s time for Marny to tell her she’s got to grow up.”
Pulliam shot her scenes in between practice sessions for ABC’s diving competition show, Splash. “I’m dispelling the myth that black girls can’t swim and get their hair wet without freaking out,” she jokes.
Guys With Kids is the first time the women have acted together since The Cosby Show ended in 1992. “I grew up with Keshia. She’s like my sister, so we immediately clicked again,” says Bledsoe, 39. “When producers decided to cast the role they asked me how I’d feel about having Keshia and I said, ‘Absolutely!’ I think they’re fantasizing about having all of The Cosby Show cast pop up.”
Unlikely, as Lisa Bonet has declined all reunion invitations. Plus, “Mr. Cosby was very clear about wanting to maintain the purity of the legacy,” says Pulliam, 33, who now oversees a self-esteem camp for young girls in between acting gigs. “Sometimes you tarnish the memory when you beat a dead horse.” Even an overseas horse.
Television’s biggest drama is also the television industry’s biggest drama. Paramount Network’s hit Western Yellowstone should be on an easy ride into a record-ratings sunset, but instead it’s more of a bucking bronco that can’t be tamed. Season 5, which has been on hiatus since January 2023, will be the show’s final season, and while we always knew the end would be near, we weren’t expecting it this soon, and Paramount Network probably wasn’t either. Star Kevin Costner’s participation in the final episodes of the series is still up the air as the actor moves on to a new passion project of his own — a series of Western films — which became the impetus for the series ending. But there is some good news from the ranch: Yellowstone Season 5 is gearing up to return to production, and in the meantime, it’s reached a whole new audience while airing on CBS.
There’s a lot of unfinished business to take care of before the flagship series signs off. Civil war has broken out among the Duttons, with Jamie (Wes Bentley) and Beth (Kelly Reilly) at each other’s throats, John (Costner) at risk of being impeached, and a devastating illness spreading through Montana wildlife and endangering the Duttons’ cattle.
Below, we’ll go through what we know about the second half of the final season, including the latest release date, cast information, and recaps of the first part of the season to set you up for what’s to come.
