'Happy Face' Brings In The Kids And A Recurring David Harewood

Posted by on
  The upcoming Paramount+ drama series Happy Face has found all of its series regulars and jonesed for its recurring talk show host and Melissa’s boss. The final series regulars found are  Khiyla Aynne   and Benjamin Mackey, while Supergirl alum David Harewood is racking in the ratings. As one could surmise, Aynne and Mackey play Melissa (played by Annaleigh Ashford )’s kids with husband Ben, played by James Wolk . Specifically, Aynne  plays Hazel, their  secure and happy  15-year-old daughter who initially believes that her mother is off on a simple business trip. However,  she soon starts suspecting that something dire is going on, beginning to investigate and uncover the shocking circumstances of her mother’s past.  Mackey plays  lively   9-year-old Max, who takes his stable upbringing for granted and doesn’t grow his older sister’s suspicions regarding mom’s sudden absence. He instead steadfastly believes she’s producing some sort of on-location segment for  The Dr. Greg Show . A

A Second Season Of 'The Really Loud House' Is Bringing With It 'A Really Haunted Loud House' Halloween Movie

Posted by on

 


It's time to flesh out more Loud House, and it seems Paramount+ has their frights set on it too. Nickelodeon has greenlit A Really Haunted Loud House, an original feature-length Halloween movie, that while it might seem like a sequel to 2021's A Loud House Christmas due to the holiday nature, it's more closely related to and is based on The Really Loud House, which the title differences will probably indicate, and which has been renewed for a second season. 

The Really Loud House, the live-action series adaptation of the Nicktoon The Loud House, was greenlit due to the success of A Loud House Christmas and was intended to be a Paramount+ original series when it was announced last March, but was moved to Nickelodeon by its November 2022 premiere. It, therefore, has yet to arrive on Paramount+. Just look at Middlemost Post, which premiered in July 2021 only just arriving on the service at the end of this month. However, like A Loud House Christmas, A Really Haunted Loud House will be released on Nickelodeon and Paramount+ this fall. In the film Lincoln Loud and his best friend Clyde must decide between trick or treating and the Loud family's traditional Spooktacular or going to a party thrown by Xander, the cool new kid at school.


What specifically distinguishes A Loud House Christmas from The Really Loud House and A Really Haunted Loud House is that several members of the Loud family were recast for the series. Jolie Jenkins replaced Muretta Moss as Rita Loud, Eva Carlton replaced Dora Dolphin as Leni Loud, Annaka Fourneret replaced Morgan McGill as Lynn Loud, and August Michael Peterson replaced Charlotte Ann Tucker and Lainey Jane Knowles as Lily Loud. Those who appeared in both and will be reprising their roles for the Halloween movie are Wolfgang Schaeffer as Lincoln Loud, Brian Stepanek as Lynn Loud Sr. (who also voices the character in the animated series), Sophia Woodward as Luna Loud; Aubin Bradley as Lucy Loud; Catherine Bradley as Luan Loud, Ella Allan as Lola Loud; Mia Allan as Lana Loud; Lexi Janicek as Lisa Loud; Lexi DiBenedetto as Lori Loud; and Jahzir Bruno as Clyde McBride.

The franchise as a whole is about Lincoln Loud, the one son in a family with 10 sisters, and the chaos that comes out of that. Because The Really Loud House was intended as a streaming series, it only had a ten-episode order. Now that it's a linear series, its second season will be 20 episodes, a confident network standard. A Really Haunted Loud House will be directed by Jonathan Judge, who has not only directed the series but Life in Pieces and All That. It's written by Tony Gama-Lobo & Rebecca May, who worked on King of the Hill and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles together. There are revisions by Tim Hobert, who's worked on The Middle, Scrubs, and Community. It should be noted that apparently Deadline, who had the exclusive, saw fit to include a The Casagrandes movie, based on the Loud House spinoff animated series, among Gama-Lobo and May's credits, despite it not being announced yet. So have fun with that!
