He taught them how to say goodbye, and now he’s back again.

Christopher Jackson will be reprising his role of George Washington in the Tony-winning Broadway musical Hamilton. He originated the role in 2015 and was nominated for a Tony.

His limited run of shows begins Tuesday, Sept. 8, and goes through Sunday, Jan. 3, 2027, at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City.

“Returning to Hamilton as George Washington is a deeply meaningful homecoming,” Jackson says in a statement. “This show changed my life, and it remains one of the great honors of my career to be part of telling this story. To step back into this room, with this company and this audience, is something I will never take for granted.”

His return follows Leslie Odom Jr.’s own return to the show last year to reprise his role as Aaron Burr for the show’s 10th anniversary. Hamilton, written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, officially opened on Broadway August 6, 2015.

Tickets for Jackson’s run of shows are on sale now.

Shrek, Fiona and Donkey are returning to the land of Far Far Away for another adventure.

The trailer for DreamWorks Animation’s Shrek 5 has been released, nearly a year ahead of its release to theaters on June 30, 2027.

“Shrek and Donkey, two stalwart friends off on another whirlwind big city adventure,” Donkey, voiced by Eddie Murphy, says in the clip.

Shrek (Mike Myers) reluctantly teams up with his old pal, as well as his wife Fiona (Cameron Diaz) and their two sons Fergus and Farkle, voiced by Marcello Hernández and Skyler Gisondo. It’s unclear where the adventure is taking them, but at some point they all end up in jail.

The trailer ends with Donkey badly singing the 1977 song “Baby Come Back” to the annoyance of his ogre cellmates.

Zendaya voices Shrek and Fiona’s teenage daughter Felicia, but the character does not appear in the trailer.

The first Shrek film was released in 2001. It was the first-ever winner of the best animated feature Academy Award. Its three sequels were subsequently released in 2004, 2007 and 2010.

Tom Holland has seemingly confirmed what has long been speculated: that he and Zendaya are already married.

In an interview with Esquire, the Spider-Man: Brand New Day star was asked about the AI images that circulated purporting to be from their wedding. He said the images confused his granny, who thought she hadn’t been invited.

The reporter then asked whether he had to reach out to other family members to explain the photos, to which he paused then replied, “No, because they were all there.”

When the reporter said they didn’t realize the wedding had happened already, Holland firmly responded, “That’s all you’ll get on that.”

Before this, the closest the public got to a confirmation was Zendaya’s stylist Law Roach telling Access Hollywood at the 2026 Actor Awards that the “wedding has already happened. You missed it.”

When asked by a reporter if that was true, Roach replied, “It’s very true.”

ABC News reached out to a representative for Holland and Zendaya at the time.

Holland and Zendaya are set to star together in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey this year.

The Four Seasons is officially getting three.

Netflix has renewed the comedy series — from co-creators Tina Fey, Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield — for a third season.

“We are thrilled to be able to bring a third season of The Four Seasons to life,” the three say. “Thank you to everyone who watched. Middle-aged people, LFG!”

The show follows a year in the life of a group of longtime friends over the course of four seasonal vacations.

Fey stars alongside Will Forte, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Colman Domingo, Marco Calvani and Erika Henningsen. Steve Carell starred in season 1, although his character, Nick, died in a car crash at the end of that season. Season 2 found the friends dealing with the aftermath of that death and keeping up their travel traditions. 

“It’s been a joy watching the chaotic, beautiful journey of these lifelong friends,” says Tracey Pakosta, vice president of U.S. comedy series at Netflix. “Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield have a magical way of blending heart and sharp humor, making us feel like part of the inner circle. Audiences have fallen in love with these characters and this legendary cast’s electric chemistry. We’re thrilled to keep the vacation going for Season 3.”
