Apple TV+ has been ramping up its content slate with some of the most talked about original series.
The streaming service's latest surefire hit is Life By Ella, premiering globally Friday, September 2.
The series follows Ella as she returns to school with a brand new perspective, excitement for what the future holds, and a major "seize the day" mentality following her stint with cancer.
With her best friend by her side, she is ready to tackle everything she was too afraid of before, and determined not to let the minutiae of fake friends and social media status distract her.
The official trailer certainly highlights Ella's plight to "seize the day," even if those around her are not ready for her to return to doing what she loves best.
Her cancer diagnosis undoubtedly is a cause for concern from her parents, with her father wondering whether returning to school so soon...

Brat TV announced the renewal of “Attaway General” for Season 2, with filming already underway.
The series, which is known for featuring young talent — including TikTok stars like Dixie D’Amelio — follows a group of teenagers who volunteer at the Attaway General Hospital in hopes of preparing for future medical careers. The first season of “Attaway General” premiered on YouTube but is now available on Hulu.
“Too often, Gen Z audiences have to choose between the talent they follow and the shows they
stream — and Attaway General offers the best of both worlds,” said Brat TV co-founder Rob Fishman in a statement.
Social media stars Madi Monroe, Lauren Kettering and Eric Montanez will return for the second season.

“You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,” but you’re a darn good dancer, Ms. Greenblatt. “Avengers: Infinity War” actress Ariana Greenblatt and her fellow “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors” finalists performed Christmas-themed routines for their freestyle dances during the season finale. Greenblatt portrayed Cindy Lou Who while her pro partner Artyon Celestine was the title character in their Dr. Seuss inspired number. Watch it above.
Greenblatt was hoping a former “DWTS” contestant would be her good luck charm: this version of “Mr. Grinch” was performed by violinist Lindsey Stirling featuring Sabrina Carpenter. Stirling was the runner-up in season 25 of the grownup series, behind Mirror Ball champion (and “Juniors” co-host) Jordan Fisher. Greenblatt’s resulting routine was full of strong choreographic content, storytelling and a couple of impressive lifts. And the young actress, as always, has a knack for getting into character.

There was a lot on the docket for the one-hour season finale of “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors.” There were four finalists since no one was eliminated during the Semi-Finals, and they all performed two routines on the final night of the competition: a repeat of their favorite dance of the season (this time joined by their adult mentors) and then a holiday-themed freestyle. Then the judges’ scores and studio audience votes from both the Semi-Finals and the Finals were combined to pick a winner. So was it Miles Brown, Sky Brown, Ariana Greenblatt or Mackenzie Ziegler?

Christmas came a little early to the Dancing With the Stars: Juniors ballroom on Sunday night, and one duo walked away with the best gift of all: the Mirrorball trophy. (Sorry, my bad — the Mirror Star trophy. Bobby Bones has custody of the Mirrorball proper for the foreseeable future.)
After 10 weeks of truly impressive competition, four finalists — Mackenzie Ziegler, Ariana Greenblatt, Miles Brown and Sky Brown — took the stage for two last performances on Sunday, after learning in last week’s semifinals that no one would be sent home and they would all get a chance to compete in the finale.

As suspected, there was no elimination on the “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors” semifinal, so the final four will hit the dance floor one last time in Sunday’s finale. The pairs will perform two numbers: a reprise of their favorite dance of the season — this time featuring their respective mentors — and a holiday-themed freestyle. So again, these young’uns don’t have the pressure of performing two completely individual routines.
The episode is only one-hour long, so there’s a lot to pack in — all of the eliminated couples will be back for a group number — before we even get to the winner. The winner will be determined by judges’ scores and the studio audience vote. And honestly, whoever wins would give Bobby Bones a run for for his money.

“Dancing with the Stars: Juniors” split up its final four celebs into dance duos during the Semi-Finals, and it turned out to be a battle of young versus old — or rather, young versus slightly less young. Mackenzie Ziegler (age 14) and Miles Brown (age 13) were first up, and then Sky Brown and Ariana Greenblatt (both 10) set out to prove that youth isn’t wasted on the young. How did they do? Watch their routine above and decide for yourself.
In terms of personalities, you couldn’t have asked for a more compatible fit than the lively and outgoing Brown and Greenblatt, not to mention their giddily expressive partners Jt Church and Artyon Celestine, plus their lovable goofball mentors Alan Bersten and Brandon Armstrong. They worked so well as a unit that they even gave themselves a team name and a catchphrase: “Team Small’s got it all!”

It was the beginning of the end for “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors”on Sunday night, December 2. The final four contestants performed two routines during the semi-finals. So who made the best impression going into the season finale, and who (if anyone) was sent home? Find out below in our live blog with all the minute-by-minute updates as they happen.
The remaining four celebs and their pro partners began the night with the usual individual dances. “Avengers” actress Ariana Greenblatt and pro partner Artyon Celestine took on a foxtrot. Dancer and singer Mackenzie Ziegler and her partner Sage Rosen went into battle with a paso doble. Skateboarder Sky Brown and Jt Church treated us to an Argentine tango. And “Black-ish” star Miles Brown and Rylee Arnold performed a cha cha.

The “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors” semifinal will do something the mothership series has never done before: dance duos. The remaining four couples will perform individual routines before pairing up for said duos in lieu of a second individual routine. So essentially the dance duos are “Dancing”‘s trademark team dances, just with two couples. It’s probably easier on the kiddies now than if they had done it with the typical four couples per team.
As for the individual routines, the four pairs will perform a foxtrot, paso doble, cha-cha or Argentine tango. For what it’s worth, ABC made no mention of an elimination at the end of Sunday’s episode as it usually does in its weekly press releases, so do with that what you will.

Ariana Greenblatt had to channel the 1940s during her quickstep on “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors” for Time Machine Night, but perhaps she really wanted to embody the 1960s. From her clip package it looked like she was having trouble getting into character to play a ’40s-era model, but after the dance she told host Frankie Muniz that her favorite movie is “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and her favorite actress is Audrey Hepburn, whom she was inspired by during her performance. Did she live up to her inspiration? Watch her glamorous performance above.
While training with her pro partner Artyon Celestine and mentor Brandon Armstrong she played dress-up in a mock fashion show to get into character, but I doubt they had to work too hard to get her out of her shell. She has been one of the season’s most expressive and confident dancers — or if she’s not really confident,...

“Dancing with the Stars: Juniors” is going to turn back time and go back to the future on Sunday. For Time Machine Night, the top five couples will perform a routine inspired by a bygone era or a time period that has yet to happen. The farthest back they’re going is the ’20s, aka almost 100 years before some of these kiddies were born. They’ll also cover the ’40s and ’50s, but will then skip all the way the ’80s (so rude to the Swingin’ 60s and disco ’70s).
The couples will perform a quickstep, jazz, paso doble, jive or Charleston. (Is it just us or does “Dancing” nearly always make the futuristic dance a paso?) One couple will be eliminated at the end of the show.

The adults are almost done on “Dancing with the Stars,” but the inaugural season of “Juniors” is still underway with six kids remaining following last week’s ouster of Disney Channel star Jason Maybaum. So who was the next to go? On Giving Thanks Night the young celebs dedicated their routines to people who inspired them. Follow along with our live blog below to find out who had reason to be grateful and who said “Thanks for nothing” to the judges and studio audience.
Last week’s Juniors Choice Night put “Avengers” actress Ariana Greenblatt at the top of the judges’ leaderboard with the season’s first 10, and “Black-ish” star Miles Brown was close behind with another set of straight 9s. Skateboarding prodigy Sky Brown trailed in the scores, but the Gold Derby users who enter their predictions every week still think she’s the one to beat for the Mirror Ball Trophy.

While “Dancing with the Stars” will reach its season finale on Monday, “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors” is still in the thick of its season. Sunday’s episode is just Week 6 of a nine-week season, and since it’s also Thanksgiving next Thursday, you can bet your two left feet that “Juniors” is doing a “Giving Thanks” theme. Unclear if anyone will be dressed as a turkey, but we might get one or two dances that are complete turkeys.
The top six will dedicate their routines — either a jazz, salsa, samba or foxtrot — to those people who’ve had an impact on their lives. We’re guessing Mandla Morris‘ is going to be his dad Stevie Wonder since the singer is performing “Isn’t She Lovely” during his son’s dance.

The kids are calling the shots on Week 5 of “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors.” Sort of. They’re not choreographing anything, but they do get to pick the song they will dance to for Juniors Choice. And by that, we mean they get to pick a song that the show can clear. Naturally, Mackenzie Ziegler chose one of her own tunes. As for everyone else, well, don’t be expecting many classic songs here.
The remaining seven couples will perform a Charleston, jazz, cha cha or samba, and one couple will be eliminated at the end of the show.
Reminder: This episode will air on Sunday, Nov. 11 at 8/7c on ABC. The show is off on Sunday, Nov. 4 for “Mickey’s 90th Spectacular.”

Ariana Greenblatt has been one of the strongest contestants in season one of “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors,” but she had a scare on Halloween Night, getting her lowest score of the season for what I thought was a pretty darn good paso doble (watch it above). Were the judges right to be so tough on her, or were they “Wicked” for no reason?
Mentor Brandon Armstrong cracked the whip when training Greenblatt and her partner Artyon Celestine for their paso doble — which Greenblatt thought sounded more like “Picasso.” But she got the job done when it counted, bringing lots of intensity to their dance to “Ways to Be Wicked” from the Disney Channel musical “Descendants 2.” However, judge Adam Rippon wanted to see more emotional “range” from the young dancer, Mandy Moore thinks she needs to be challenged more, and Val Chmerkovskiy wanted to see more proper choreographic content.

In addition, the episode, which was filmed over the summer, will open with a group number featuring all eight couples and choreographed by judge Mandy Moore. One team will be eliminated at the end of the hour.

Disney Night has been a tradition on “Dancing with the Stars” for the last few years, but there’s still fresh ground to cover as evidenced by Ariana Greenblatt on “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors.” She performed the first ever “DWTS” routine inspired by “Lilo and Stitch,” but unfortunately it led to her failing to top the judges’ leaderboard for the first time this season. Can she return to her perch in week four?
Greenblatt and her pro partner Artyon Celestine scored 24 out of 30 for both of their previous dances. In the series premiere that tied her with Mandla Morris for the top spot, and in week two it tied her with Miles Brown and Mackenzie Ziegler for the peak position.

Disney Night has become a tradition on “Dancing with the Stars,” but this season it has expanded to a two-night affair. The top nine child celebrities performed Disney-inspired routines on “DWTS: Juniors” on Sunday night, and the grownups will do the same in Monday’s episode of the original series. Disney is known for its family films, which makes it a perfect fit for “Juniors.” So how did the kids do? Find out below in our live blog with all the minute-by-minute developments as they happen.
The first two weeks of the competition quickly cut the roster from 12 contestants to 9. Tripp Johnston and Addison Osta Smith had the lowest judges’ scores in week one and were both eliminated after the studio audience votes were factored in. But week two ended in a surprise: “General Hospital” actor Hudson West got the boot even though he had one of the night’s higher scores.

You know how everyone makes fun of the younger “Dancing with the Stars” contestants for picking a year in, like, the last seven years — including the current year — for Most Memorable Year because they haven’t lived yet? Well, neither have the kiddies on “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors.”
Oh, don’t worry, they’re not doing Most Memorable Year there, which would’ve been Lol, but they are doing Songs From the Year I Was Born in Week 2. So that’s just music from this century. Not just that, but the remaining 10 contestants range from 9 years old (Spelling Bee champ Akash Vukoti) to 14 years old (Mackenzie Ziegler), so we’re getting tunes from a five-year span from 2004 to 2009. Some of these kids weren’t even alive for their rivals’ songs! We are old; they are not. Sigh.

Here are five words guaranteed to strike fear in the heart of any reality competition fan: “We’re doing a kids’ version!”
ABC on Sunday debuted Dancing With the Stars: Juniors, an offshoot of its long-running mothership series that features pint-sized celebrities (or the pint-sized sons and daughters of celebrities). But even though the word “junior” typically elicits groans when attached to any show title, the miniature version of DWTS served up even more energy and unbridled joy than the all-adults iteration — and that’s really saying something.
