ABC's The Goldbergs & Once Upon a Time; CBS' Life in Pieces; FOX's Grandfathered; and Netflix's Flaked.





FOX's GRANDFATHERED
  • The upcoming comedy starring John Stamos is staging a Full House reunion, with Dave Coulier set to appear in an upcoming episode. He will play one of Sara's (Paget Brewster) co-worker's patients.
ABC's ONCE UPON A TIME
  • Jamie Chung is set to reprise her role as Mulan in multiple episodes of the drama's upcoming fifth season. She hasn't been seen on the show since the third season, where her character ran off with Robin Hood (Sean Maguire) and his men. No details were immediately released about how and when she'll return.
NETFLIX's FLAKED
  • Kirstie Alley (Cheers, Kirstie) has booked a guest role on the upcoming comedy starring Will Arnett. She will play Jackie, Dennis' (David Sullivan) mother, a free-spirited and slightly wayward woman, with an appetite for male affection that has always been a problem for her son.
CBS' LIFE IN PIECES
  • Alex Borstein (Getting On, Family Guy) has landed a guest role on the upcoming comedy starring James Brolin and Dianne Wiest. She will play Lynette, Joan (Wiest) and Heather's (Betsy Brandt) overly chatty hair dresser, who they both want to fire.
ABC's THE GOLDBERGS
  • Judd Hirsch (Forever, Taxi) has been tapped to replace Paul Sorvino in the role of Pop Pop on the comedy's upcoming third season. Pop Pop is Murray's (Jeff Garlin) cantankerous father who sees the world through mud-covered glasses. The recast happened due to a scheduling conflict Sorvino had.
