Simmons, and made history by being the first TV series to have its first episode beamed into outer space.

Bravo has paused reality series Million Dollar Listing: New York. Bravo rarely uses the word 'cancelled' for its reality shows just in case there is a revival somewhere down the line, as happened with Real Housewives of Miami, which got a Peacock reboot last year. For now, however, the show is over.
Daniella Perkins, who plays Kiela on grown-ish, has been upped to a series regular for the fifth season. Matthew Sato, Tara Raani, Justine Skye, Amelie Zilber, Ceyair Wright and Slick Woods have joined the cast in recurring roles.
