Nick@Nite to Air 'BET Awards' 2026 on June 28

BET has announced that the BET Awards 2026 will air LIVE from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, June 28, at 8 PM ET/PT on BET and simulcast across the Paramount ecosystem, including

on BET HER, CMT, LOGO, MTV, MTV2, Nickelodeon (during Nick@Nite), Paramount, POP, VH1, Comedy Central, and TV Land!

Culture’s Biggest Night, this year's BET Awards will be hosted by award-winning comedian, entertainer, and cultural sensation Druski, who will become the youngest-ever host of the BET Awards, eclipsing Kevin Hart, who previously held the distinction in 2011.

“It’s an honor to be the youngest host EVER for the BET Awards,” Druski said. “I grew up watching the BET Awards and, to know the comedic legends that hosted before me set the bar so high, I’m just grateful to be a part of the history. BUT I’m still bringing my brand of comedy to the stage, so expect a little chaos, a lot of laughs, and some of your favorite Druski characters to pop out along the way.”

BET Awards is one of the most-watched award shows on cable television, according to the Nielsen Company. The BET Awards franchise remains the #1 program in cable TV history among African-Americans, and it is the #1 telecast for BET every year. It recognizes the triumphs and successes of artists, entertainers, and athletes in a variety of categories.

For 25 years, the BET Awards has been one of the most powerful cultural platforms in entertainment, honoring the artists, creators, and leaders shaping culture in real time. Built on the pillars of community, culture, and connection, it has delivered iconic performances, unforgettable tributes, and moments that continue to resonate far beyond the stage. The show reflects the creativity, influence, and reach of Black culture across music, television, film, sports, fashion, and more.

“As one of the most exciting and influential comedic voices of his generation, Druski brings a unique ability to connect with audiences through humor that feels both fresh and deeply rooted in culture,” said Connie Orlando, EVP, Specials, Music Programming & Music Strategy at BET. “As we prepare for this year’s BET Awards, we’re thrilled to have him bring his signature energy and perspective to the stage, helping set the tone for a night that celebrates the achievements and cultural impact of our community.”

“Druski represents the kind of bold, culture-driving talent that continues to shape the future of entertainment. His voice resonates across platforms, blending comedy and authentic connection in a way that aligns perfectly with our vision for BET. Partnering with Druski as host reflects our commitment to elevating the new generation of comedians who are redefining how audiences engage with content today,” said Louis Carr, President, BET.

Connie Orlando, EVP of Specials, Music Programming and Music Strategy, serves as Executive Producer for BET Awards 2026. Jesse Collins Entertainment is the production company for the show, with Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay also serving as Executive Producers.

Additional announcements, including nominees and performers, will be revealed in the coming weeks. Culture's Biggest Week returns with BET Experience 2026 (BETX), three days of immersive, fan-focused events, June 25-27, ahead of BET Awards 2026.

BET Experience is the destination for elevating unapologetic Blackness with authentic entertainment, access, and lifestyle experiences. Through the lens of millennial and Gen Z audiences, BET Experience curates the culture, standing at the intersection of who this coveted segment is and where they’re headed.

Catherine O’Hara Passes Away: Beloved ‘Schitt’s Creek’, ‘SCTV’, ‘Home Alone’ Actor Was 71

Catherine O’Hara, the beloved, multi-award-winning actor, writer and comedian sadly passed away on Friday, January 30 at her home in Los Angeles following a brief illness. She was 71.

O’Hara launched her extraordinary career as one of the ensemble members of the star-making cast of SCTV before gaining acclaim in such films as Beetlejuice, Home Alone, A Mighty Wind and, in a full-circle embrace of her TV roots that earned her an Emmy Award, Schitt’s Creek.

O’Hara was most recently seen reprising the role of Delia Deetz in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, as well as season two of the HBO Max critically acclaimed series The Last of Us, and in the hit comedy series The Studio from Point Grey Pictures for Apple TV. For her performances in both The Last of Us and The Studio, O’Hara earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress In A Drama Series and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

Her film credits include lead and supporting roles in Beetlejuice, Home Alone, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, After Hours, Heartburn, The Life Before This, Penelope, Away We Go, Where the Wild Things Are, A.C.O.D., The Right Kind of Wrong, The Nightmare Before Christmas and many more.

O’Hara collaborated with Christopher Guest and co-writer Eugene Levy four times on the critically acclaimed mockumentary films Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, and For Your Consideration. Her performance in the latter won her the 2007 National Board of Review Award for Supporting Actress.

Among her many guest appearances on TV are Six Feet Under and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Her role in the HBO’s Temple Grandin earned her Primetime Emmy, Satellite, and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations.

Miley In the 'Harvey Beaks' Episode 'The Case of the Missing Pancake' | Nickelodeon

On Nickelodeon, O’Hara voiced Miley, Harvey Beaks’ maternal grandmother, on the Harvey Beaks episode "The Case of the Missing Pancake." She was also the voice of Jackie Martin on the Nick@Nite's stop-motion adult animated series, Glenn Martin, DDS.

She first performed with Toronto’s Second City Theatre and later, with fellow alumni including Levy, created the iconic sketch comedy show SCTV. O’Hara won an Emmy Award and earned four Emmy nominations for her writing on the show.

Launching in 1976, the hugely influential SCTV would feature some of the most soon-to-be-superstar comedians of the era. In addition to O’Hara, the show also known as Second City Television starred the late John Candy, Harold Ramis and Joe Flaherty, along with Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Rick Moranis, Dave Thomas and Martin Short. It aired from 1981-83 in late-night on NBC as SCTV Network 90.

Among O’Hara’s most indelible SCTV characters were edge-of-a-breakdown lounge singer Lola Heatherton (a portmanteau of real-life performers Lola Falana and Joey Heatherton), whose fawning catchphrase “I love you! I wanna bear your children!” was enthusiastically offered to bigger-name stars, and Lorna Minnelli, a mash-up of the Judy Garland daughters Lorna Luft and Liza Minnelli.

Other notable characters included bawdy nightclub singer Dusty Towne, and Sue Bopper Simpson, the self-actualized feminist writer-performer who, along with Andrea Martin’s Libby Wolfson wrote and performed the not-so-big-hit musical I‘m Taking My Own Head And Screwin It On Right And No Guy’s Gonna Tell Me That It Ain’t. In the latter, O’Hara and Martin skillfully if lovingly mocked the Gretchen Cryer-Nancy Ford 1978 hit musical I’m Getting My Act Together and Taking It on the Road.

O’Hara’s celebrity parodies for SCTV included Brooke Shields, Lucille Ball, Elizabeth Taylor, Katherine Hepburn, Morgan Fairchild and gossip columnist Rona Barrett.

Decades later, in the final two seasons of the hit CBC series, Schitt’s Creek, in which she played charmingly eccentric former soap star Moira Rose, wife of Eugene Levy’s Johnny Rose and mother of Daniel Levy’s David and Annie Murphy’s Alexis, O’Hara received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Comedy Television Series, a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series, a Critics Choice Award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series, a TCA Award for Individual Achievement in Comedy, and multiple Canadian Screen Awards for Best Performance by an Actress in a Continuing Leading Comedic Role amongst others. O’Hara also garnered Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG awards in the Best Ensemble categories alongside her castmates Eugene Levy, Dan Levy and Annie Murphy.

O’Hara is survived by her husband Bo Welch and sons Matthew and Luke, along with siblings Michael O’Hara, Mary Margaret O’Hara, Maureen Jolley, Marcus O‘Hara, Tom O’Hara, Patricia Wallice.

A private celebration of life will be held by the family.

'Monster High' Series to Make U.K. Free-TV Debut on Pop

The Monster High free TV premiere takes place on Pop in September, after which the series will air on weekdays and be available on the Pop Player.

Mattel’s ‘spooktacular’ animated series, Monster High, will make its UK Free TV premiere exclusively on free-to-air children’s channel Pop, on Monday 4th September. The series made its pay-TV debut on Nickelodeon UK & Ireland in November last year.

The series follows teenager Clawdeen Wolf, who never felt like she fit in – until her instincts led her to Monster High School, where she discovered that she’s both werewolf and human, and now feels at home in both worlds. Along with Draculaura (a vampire who wants to forge her own path as a witch), Frankie Stein (who is figuring out how their pieces fit together), Deuce (the son of Medusa, who’s rebelling by being nice), there’s a school full of modern monster characters. As the teems celebrate being their unique selves, Clawdeen embarks on a series of high school hijinks and teenage troubles.

The exclusive Free TV premiere of Monster High will air on weekdays at 5.30pm from Monday 4th September on Pop. It will also be available to watch on catch-up on the Pop Player. The series comprises 16 episodes x 11 mins.

Following the success of Monster High on Nickelodeon channels globally, a second season has been announced.

Originally created in 2010, the Monster High brand, which spanned dolls, content and franchise products, has always advocated for the creation of a more accepting world where everyone feels proud to be their authentic self and let their inner monster shine. Monster High returned in 2022, reimagined with a new set of characters that embrace what makes them unique and rally people everywhere to be themselves, be unique and be a monster.

This January, a new line of Monster High dolls and play sets hit the shelves. The new dolls reflect contemporary trends with more vibrant colours, and the brand is also allowing for even more storytelling opportunities by representing a wide array of body shapes and styles. Two play sets in the range have been designed to inspire storytelling.

To find out more about Mattel’s Monster High doll range, visit the website here.

First Look: Watch Austin St. John Morph Into Red Ranger For First Time In Years On 'Power Rangers Beast Morphers'

Power Rangers Beast Morphers is currently on a break in the states, but international fans are getting to watch the second half of season 2 right now, and that includes the much-anticipated crossover episode titled "Grid Connection". Thankfully for fans in the U.S., PwrRnger.com happened to get some of the clips from the episode's U.K. airing on Pop, and it does feature the long-awaited return of the original Red Ranger, Austin St. John.

The episode will air on Nickelodeon in the U.S. once new episodes return, but you can check out the clips right now, which feature the beginning of the big battle against Goldar Maximus, and we get to see the morphs of not only the Dino Charge Rangers but also Jason's return as Mighty Morphin Red. As you can see in the video below, it was more than worth the wait. Spoilers incoming for the episode, so those stateside who want to wait and watch it fresh shouldn't go any further.

First though we get a clip of Devon heading into the Morphing Grid itself to send out a message for help, as Goldar Maximus is attempting to take over the Dino Charge dimension. The other Beast Morpher Rangers have been sent to their world to help, but Devon puts out a call through the Grid, and one Ranger answers the call.

That is none other than Jason, and Devon is floored. Jason asks why Devon needed help, and he fills him in on the situation, followed by offering Jason his Power Coin back. If you were waiting for a cool moment that showcases why Power Rangers has stayed around so long, this is it.

— PwrRngr.com (@PwrRngrSite) June 18, 2020

Things get better in the next clip though, as Jason leads the Dino Charge Rangers to the battlefield. They are confronted with Goldar and his army, but Jason quickly points out that what he sees in front of him is not an army. That's when more portals open up and the rest of the Mighty Morphin Rangers and the team of Dino Thunder Rangers head through, joining the lineup.

Jason says "this is an army", and then the Dino Charge Rangers morph. That's when Jason flips his coin in the air and then catches it, which is then followed by a full morph into the Red Ranger, and you've got to admit, it all came together pretty dang well.

Saban Expands The Presence Of "Power Rangers" In The UK & EMEA

Saban’s Power Rangers expansion is being fuelled by new content, fresh product lines, retail initiatives, and comprehensive marketing activity!

Saban has unveiled plans to continue the momentum of Power Rangers' growth in the UK and EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa), following the recent UK premiere of Power Rangers Ninja Steel, the 24th season in the TV series, on kids channel POP and ahead of the franchise’s 25th anniversary.

Following the March 2017 release of the feature film Saban’s Power Rangers, Saban Brands is bringing fresh content to UK fans with the TV series’ 24th season, Power Rangers Ninja Steel which premiered in August and is currently rolling-out across EMEA. New broadcast partners continue to come on board and this year Saban Brands has welcomed Neox (Spain), POP (Italy), E-Vision (UAE), Gulli Arabi (Middle East), Smile TV (Greece) and London Live (UK) to its expanding line-up.

Saban’s Power Rangers is a top boys action brand in the UK and to support its continued expansion, Saban Brands and longstanding toy partner Bandai are teaming with major retailers across EMEA who are lining-up to stock the Ninja Steel products and proactively supporting the launch. For example, The Entertainer ran a comprehensive marketing campaign that included four ‘Super Saturdays events across its stores where fans could take part in challenges inspired by the new toys, enter competitions and enjoy exclusive discounts. Alongside this, Toys 'R' Us will showcase the new toy range until August 2018. In June, Saban Brands launched a successful DTR deal with UK retail giants Toys ‘R’ Us and Tesco, that saw a range of personalised gifting items including stationery, drink bottles, phone cases and much more launch online that fans can customise with their name. To generate excitement in France, hypermarket Auchan and toy specialist JouéClub will host Power Rangers meet and greet events, with JouéClub also having flagship window displays and promoting their activity through radio advertisements.

Saban’s Power Rangers partners continue to be attracted to the broad EMEA licensing programme that now boasts almost 50 licensees. Bandai has launched a brand new Ninja Steel line of action figure and role-play toys. New additions to Saban Brands’ licensee roster include Sambro for backpacks/arts & crafts, IMC for RC and electronic toys, as well as Tech 4 Kids for “Mashems” and “Bastems.” Alongside these deals, Saban has recently renewed its long-standing partnerships with Rubies for dress-up items and AFG Media for Morphsuits, and continues to see significant growth with apparel partner Smith and Brooks.

To continue driving brand awareness and fan engagement, Saban Brands is committed to ensuring fans can access dedicated Power Rangers content across multiple platforms including digital, on-demand, apps, games and social media. The popularity of the official Power Rangers channel on popular Super Awesome kids’ app, PopJam continues to climb while over on YouTube, this year has already seen Power Rangers videos receive over 186 million views across Europe, which equates to over 396 million minutes watched.

“Saban’s Power Rangers is the true definition of an evergreen property and for more than two decades, the brand has continued to prove its power with fans of all ages as demonstrated by the fact it currently ranks as a top action brand in the U.K.,” says Leila Ouledcheikh, Senior Vice President (SVP), Distribution and Consumer Products, EMEA, Saban Brands. “With the milestone anniversary on the horizon and the roll-out of ‘Power Rangers Ninja Steel,’ we’re delighted to be bringing fans in the EMEA region a fantastic pipeline of multiplatform content, alongside a swathe of new merchandise.”

"Power Rangers Dino Super Charge" Charges Onto UK Kids Channel POP On Monday 5th September 2016

Power Rangers is already experiencing roaring success in the UK in 2016, with POS in double-digit growth, which has seen the iconic brand charge into the number five spot in the NPD Boys Action Figures category for June! Sales have also increased by 26% YTD!

The brand will get supercharged this summer when Power Rangers Dino Super Charge, the 23rd season of Saban's iconic Power Rangers franchise, premieres on FreeView and FreeSat channel Pop from Monday 5th September 2016.

In Power Rangers Dino Charge, the Power Rangers finally defeated the team's main antagonist Sledge; however, someone newer and even badder is stepping up to take his place. Fortunately, the Rangers were able to secure the help of Kendall Morgan - the lead scientist at the Amber Beach Dinosaur Museum - as the new Dino Charge Purple Ranger in her powerful Plesio Zord, which possesses the spirit of the extinct Plesiosaur!

This new super-charged season will follow the Power Rangers as they continue their quest to unite all 10 Energems by tapping into brand-new battle gear, Zords and Megazords to save the universe. Sledge may be gone, but a all-new threat has arisen that is twice as bad, and the Power Rangers will need their biggest team ever! Power Rangers Dino Super Charge will make franchise history by uniting 10 Power Rangers on the same team for the first time ever! Power Rangers Dino Super Charge will also continue to spotlight the series' core themes of friendship, teamwork, responsibility and helping others for fans of all ages.

In the Power Rangers Dino Super Charge season opener, "When Evil Stirs" (#601), the Rangers believe their work is done after defeating Sledge, but an even more powerful monster begins to pick up where Sledge left off!

In anticipation of the all-new season, kids can be just like the Dino Super Charge Rangers with the arrival of an awesome new range of action figures, Zord Builder and role-play toys that are now available at retail nationwide!

Tess Parsons-Broome, Power Rangers Product Manager at Bandai, said: "We are absolutely delighted with the brand’s performance this year which continues to go from strength to strength. With the exciting launch of Dino Super Charge this summer, coupled with the halo effect of the movie, we are confident that this fantastic success will continue to grow as we head into 2017."

To celebrate the launch, a comprehensive marketing campaign will ask kids to Find Your Power throughout the season across multiple touch points. This activity includes exciting viral video in collaboration with the highly popular YouTube channel Gorgeous. Their 340,000-plus subscribers will be exposed to engaging content that will showcase the new toys, such as the T-Rex Morpher and Plesio Charge Megazord, brought to life.

In addition, Dino Super Charge Rangers will have a temporary home on the ever-popular Bin Weevils website in a six week online campaign. As well as a hub that will feature fun facts and content about the Dino Super Charge story, Rangers and toys, the campaign will also see kids compete to win prizes in a game hosted on the site. This interactive game will encourage children to work as a team in order to achieve the highest score, promoting the Power Rangers teamwork ethic. Banners and pre-roll will drive kids to all of this action, generating an estimated 1.85m impressions. The Dino Super Charge toys will be further supported with a heavyweight TV and cinema campaign, PR and press activity as well as dedicated licensor support from Saban across the season.

And if that wasn't enough excitement for the brand, excitement is already starting to build for Lionsgate's much-anticipated Power Rangers theatrical movie, which will be released worldwide in Spring 2017, alongside a fantastic range of movie-based toys from Bandai.

Saban's "Power Rangers Dino Charge" To Tour The UK During Summer 2015

Saban's "Power Rangers Dino Charge" is hitting the road with a summer tour of the UK to support the launch of the awesome new range of action figures and role-play toys to coincide with the new TV series premiering in August 2015.

Coming to FreeView and FreeSat channel Pop on Monday 31st August 2015 at 7:30am, "Power Rangers Dino Charge" is the brand-new 22nd season of Saban's popular "Power Rangers" franchise. The all-new episodes see the new team of Power Rangers use their dinosaur spirit energy to charge up an arsenal of dino-fuelled swords, blasters, Zords, and Megazords to save the world.

But that's not all. Kids can be just like the Dino Charge Rangers with the arrival of an awesome new range of action figures, Zord Builder and role-play toys that are now available in stores across the UK. To support the launch, a comprehensive marketing campaign will be activated across the season. This activity includes an exciting experiential campaign that sees "Power Rangers Dino Charge" going on tour across the Summer Holidays, visiting fans at various events.

"Experiential activity offers a fantastic platform for us to engage children with "Power Rangers Dino Charge" as well as getting the toys into kids' hands," said Power Rangers Product Manager, Tess Parsons. "In addition, this activity provides a great hook to generate PR content, raising awareness of the brand and toys to a wider audience outside of the events."

The first stop is CarFest North in Cheshire from Friday 31st July to Sunday 2nd August 2015. This will see the Dino Charge Experience come to life under a giant red inflatable at this family festival. There will be a hub of activities for kids of all ages, including arts and crafts, a Ranger Training area and a Dino cinema where kids can see the first episode before it airs on TV. There will even be a Dino Charge photo booth so kids can take a memento home with them. Dino Charge will be back again at CarFest South in Laverstoke to relive the fun from Friday 28th to Sunday 30th August 2015.

Next, Power Rangers will partner with ToyTesters.TV as part of a week-long tour that kicks off on Monday 3rd August 2015 at three Hamleys stores - Glasgow, Manchester and Regents Street, London. Kids will be able to test out and then rate the brand new Dino Charge Megazord and Morpher. There will be lots of opportunities to win some amazing goodies too, including "Power Rangers" goodie bags!

The Dino Charge toys will also be supported with a heavyweight TV and cinema advertising campaign, as well as press and digital activity across the season.

A long time ago, ten dinosaurs were each entrusted with magical Energems rumored to hold invincible power over the entire universe. Now that the dinosaurs are extinct, the Energems are lost, and an evil alien named Sledge is determined to find all the missing Energems and take control of space and time so he can rule the universe, destroying our planet in the process. There's just one thing standing in his way... The Power Rangers Dino Charge!

Harnessing the power of pre-historic dinosaur spirits, the Dino Charge Rangers are ready to defend Earth at all costs. From a 100,000 year old caveman to a thrill seeking skateboarder, the Dino Charge Rangers may seem like an eclectic bunch, but their unmatched strength and incredible intelligence make for some epic teamwork.

With all new Dino Zords, morphers and weapons, Earth's newest defenders are ready to protect the Energems, save the world and defeat the evil Sledge and his monsters once and for all.. But will their combined power be enough to take down this intergalactic bounty hunter and his menacing team of monsters? Dino Charge Ready!

The latest season of "Power Rangers" promises to be larger-than-life and will deliver more dino-charged action and adventure than ever before, with an out-of-this-world storyline and an epic new team of Rangers.
