Doctor Odyssey Cancelled at ABC After One Season
Doctor Odyssey's ship has sailed: ABC has cancelled the medical drama after a single season.
The cast's options for a second season will not be picked up, according to our sister site Deadline, meaning that as of Monday they will be free to book other roles. Though not a formal cancellation, if ABC does eventually want Doc Od to return, producers would need to re-sign all lead actors to new deals.

Scott Speedman to Star in RJ Decker Pilot at ABC - What Does This Mean for Grey's Anatomy?
Doctor Odyssey Season 1 averaged 4.8 million weekly viewers (with delayed playback). Out of the six dramas that ABC aired this past TV season, it outdrew only Grey's in total viewers. (Back in September, TVLine readers gave the series premiere an average grade of 'C+,' with fewer than 70% planning to stay tuned.)
The modern-day Love Boat starred Joshua Jackson as Max Bankman, the onboard doctor of The Odyssey, a cruise ship helmed by Captain Massey (played by Miami Vice's Don Johnson). Dr. Max treated the ship's many medical emergencies alongside nurses Avery (Shining Girls' Phillipa Soo) and Tristan (The Gifted's Sean Teale), but things got messy after the group had a threesome, resulting in plenty of love triangle drama.
During the course of its freshman run, the Ryan Murphy series' glitzy look and pandemic origins prompted TVLine to develop the Fever Dream Theory, arguing that Max never recovered from COVID. As we theorized, The Odyssey wasn't a ship it all — it was Heaven, beckoning Max to 'cross over' to the other side. Though said conspiracy was never explicitly confirmed, Jackson did reveal that they 'had a similar theory operating on set.'

Jake Paul beats Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., another over-the-hill former champ, with ease
For the second time in less than a year, Jake Paul battered a long-past-his-prime boxing champion from yesteryear. On Saturday night, Paul defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. via unanimous decision (99-91, 97-93, 98-92) in front of an underwhelmed crowd at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. The 10-round cruiserweight affair ended in Paul's sixth consecutive victory but did little to quell the notion that the YouTuber-turned-boxer is building his in-ring reputation with a fraudulent resume built on defeating big names many years removed from their heydays. Advertisement After needing little punching substance to defeat Mike Tyson in their November spectacle, Paul flashed on Saturday much of the same arsenal he's weaponized to disrupt the boxing world over the past five years: bluster on the mic, aggressive pressure in the opening rounds, and good enough footwork to tally another win, much to the frustration of another arena of fans. 'All the boos are words and action speak louder than words. So y'all can shut the f— up,' Paul said after Saturday's win, which improved his record to 12-1. 'It was flawless,' Paul said about his performance. 'I thought I did great going 10 rounds against a former world champion. He's in there with Canelo (Álvarez) and all these guys, and I embarrassed him like that.' Paul, 28, did not use his post-fight time on the mic to try and rekindle interest in a bout with Álvarez, but did call out a litany of present-day stars: Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez, Anthony Joshua, Badou Jack and Gervonta Davis. 🤣🤣🤣😩😩😩 — Badou Jack (@BadouJack) June 29, 2025 Chavez spent the first half of Saturday's fight boxing like a man unaware he could also throw punches. He didn't land a single punch in the first round. The former WBC middleweight champion — who entered the night famous for sharing a name with his legendary father and for being cannon fodder for Álvarez in 2016— mustered up enough moments in the final rounds to bring the weary crowd to its feet. But overall, Chavez spent more time in the bout complaining to the ref about legal punches from Paul than Paul has spent boxing legitimate opponents in his career. 'Jake is a good boxer,' Chavez said after the loss, but later added, 'I don't think he's ready for the champions, but he's a good fighter.' Paul and Álvarez were rumored to have been nearing a bout agreement earlier this year before Álvarez pivoted to a four-fight deal with Riyadh Season in February. As part of that deal, Álvarez will battle undisputed champion Terence Crawford in a September megafight. Advertisement Paul and Davis were also reportedly in talks for an exhibition bout this fall, but those plans fell apart after Davis and Lamont Roach fought to a draw in March, prompting a rematch. The 39-year-old Chavez last fought in July 2024, defeating former MMA fighter Uriah Hall via unanimous decision, but has now lost four of his last seven bouts dating back to 2019, a stretch that includes a 2021 loss to former UFC champ Anderson Silva, who was making his boxing debut at the age of 46. Despite that, Paul told The Athletic before Saturday's fight that taking on Chavez showcased Paul's willingness to risk his growing reputation as a boxing draw. What remains to be seen is where Paul goes from here. Will he cash in on his reputation to book a megafight of his own? Or will his path continue to be paved with the names of faded former stars from decades prior? 'Everyone wants me to fight the toughest person in the world right now, and that will happen in the next 24 to 36 months,' Paul said weeks ago. 'But I do have room to improve as a fighter, and that's the journey that I'm on.'

The Odyssey is one of two ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer, a Greek poet who is also credited as the author of the Iliad and who is often seen as one of the most influential and important authors in human history. The Odyssey follows the story of the Greek hero Odysseus, king of Ithaca, as he journeys home after the Trojan War. Presumed dead, Odysseus' wife Penelope and son Telemachus contend with various suitors who compete for Penelope's hand in Odysseus' absence. The Odyssey is thought to have been written sometime in the 8th or 7th century BC and is one of the most important works in literary history. (Source: World of Reel)

In the pic posted on Elliot's Instagram page, the 38-year-old flashed a wide grin while leaning over Julia's shoulder as the comedian, also 38, snapped a selfie of the two standing on a rainbow-paved road.

Online The "Poop Cruise" True Story: What Happened on the Carnival Triumph When the Toilets Stopped Working Anne Burrell's Death Being Investigated as a Possible Overdose Katie Couric Reacts to Vogue's 'Tacky' Lauren Sánchez Cover 'My partner was more closeted than me for a change,' Elliot wrote. 'We were together for almost two years, and even some of my closest friends were not aware I was in a relationship. Her parents did not know.' The Juno star, who was married to Emma Portner from 2018 to 2021, detailed how he and his mystery partner worked to keep their connection out of the spotlight before ultimately calling it quits. 'It was not a sustainable relationship, just like when I had kept people hidden," he continued. 'People didn't 'think she was queer,' but they definitely assumed I was, and I don't think she could handle the shame. Ultimately, she had to do what was best for her, and unfortunately it resulted in my heart being shattered.' Fortunately, Elliot seems to have had had better luck in love since his transition, telling the Los Angeles Times in June 2023 that he was having 'the most fun I've ever had dating.' 'Interacting with people feels so much easier and more connected,' he added, 'because I'm not feeling lost in myself and not seen in the right way.'
