The Z-Suite, Series Premiere, Thursday, February 6, Tubi
Years after the end of Gilmore Girls and Parenthood, Lauren Graham has finally found her next TV leading role. The actress is set to play advertising maven Monica Marks in Tubi's latest original series, The Z-Suite. Created by Katie O’Brien (Teachers), the show will follow Marks and her peer Doug Garcia (played by Nico Santos), two ad executives who have long been at the top of the Madison Avenue world. That is until they are canceled overnight, fired from their company, and replaced by Gen-Z creatives. Refusing to accept their fate, the protagonists come up with their biggest campaign yet as a means to restore their reputation and get their positions back.

The series' official trailer just came out featuring Graham as the main character, who has a hard time pivoting from traditional ad strategies to social media pushes. With the Gen-Z employees in the firm seeming to have a better grasp of modern marketing, especially social media manager Kriska Thompson (The Lake's Madison Shamoun), both Marks and Garcia lose their jobs and must find another way to get back on top. As they build an agency of their own from the ground up, Kriska and her team try to meet corporate expectations while also translating the company's campaigns to a more digital-friendly approach.

The Z-Suite was first announced in May of last year, with Graham already attached. In addition to starring in Tubi's first in-house live-action series, the actress is also credited as an executive producer alongside O'Brien and representatives from Blue Ice Pictures and VaynerWatt (a production company headed by internet personality Gary Vaynerchuck). When the show was initially announced, Graham spoke about what drew her to this Tubi original:

“The character of Monica is smart, strong, and appealingly a bit unhinged. I’m excited to work with the team at Tubi as they ramp up their Originals slate and continue their ascent in the streaming space."

What Has Lauren Graham Been Up to Lately?
Other than being involved in this series, the Gilmore Girls alum has also worked on a few films recently. At the end of last year, she had a supporting role in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, narrating the holiday title and making a short cameo. Graham is also slated to star in the upcoming dark comedy, Twinless, playing opposite Dylan O'Brien. The project was directed by James Sweeney, and it is one of the most anticipated movies of this year's Sundance Film Festival lineup.

The Z-Suite's first two episodes will arrive on Tubi on February 6, with the remaining episodes coming out on a weekly basis. While you wait, Gilmore Girls is currently streaming on Netflix.

The Santa Clauses' Katie O’Brien is overseeing the comedy as showrunner, with Graham on board as an executive producer.

The actor is perhaps best known for playing the role of Lorelai Gilmore in Gilmore Girls between 2000 and 2007, returning in 2016 for miniseries A Year in the Life.

Last month, Graham suggested a potential prequel about Lorelai's past, telling E! News: "You could do the high school Lorelai. We’re talking about this as if it's like The Hobbit or something, which I’m not sure it is. But I think the way other universes have dealt with that question is just going back or forward."

The Z-Suite will premiere on Tubi in the US on February 6.

Lauren Helen Graham (born March 16, 1967)[1] is an American actress and author.[2] She is best known for portraying Lorelai Gilmore on The WB dramedy series Gilmore Girls, for which she received several nominations, winning two Teen Choice Awards for Choice TV Parental Unit in 2005 and 2006, and for playing Sarah Braverman on the NBC drama series Parenthood (2010–2015). She also appeared in the films Sweet November (2001), Bad Santa (2003), The Pacifier (2005), Because I Said So (2007), Evan Almighty (2007), and Max (2015). In 2013, Graham published her debut novel with Ballantine Books, Someday, Someday, Maybe. In 2016, Graham reprised her role on a Gilmore Girls Netflix revival miniseries A Year in the Life and published a memoir, Talking as Fast as I Can.

Early life
Graham was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. Her mother, Donna Grant, was a fashion buyer, and her father, Lawrence Graham, a candy industry lobbyist who was president of the National Confectioners Association.[3][4] Graham was raised in her father's Catholic faith (her maternal grandfather was a Baptist minister);[5] she is of Irish descent.[6] When Graham's father worked for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Vietnam, Graham lived for a few years in Japan (her mother also grew up there, as the daughter of a missionary).[7]

Graham was five years old when her parents divorced, and she moved to the Virginia suburbs of the Washington, DC metropolitan area with her father, who became a congressional staffer. Her mother left to pursue a music career[8] and lived in London until her death in 2005, at the age of 61.[9][10] Graham was raised by her father, and they had a close relationship. She said, "I thought I kind of had it best. My dad has a very mellow way about him and I was a self-starter as a kid. I liked a certain amount of being on my own. It just worked great for me."[11] Graham also spent a few of her childhood years in Southampton, New York.[12] Graham has a half-sister and a half-brother from her father's second marriage. Her British half-sister from her mother's second marriage, Shade Grant, works at a talent agency.[9][13]

As a girl, Graham rode horses competitively, but soon switched to acting,[14] honing her talent at Langley High School, where she took part in the drill team and graduated in 1984.[15] She earned her actor's Equity Card in 1988[16] after two years in summer stock at the Barn Theatre in Augusta, Michigan. Graham went to New York University, then transferred to Barnard College. She graduated from Barnard in 1988 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature.[17][18] After moving to Texas in 1992, Graham earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in Acting Performance from Southern Methodist University.[19]

Acting career
1994–99: Beginnings
After completing her education, Graham moved back to New York City where she worked as a waitress and as a tutor teaching SAT test prep for The Princeton Review.[9][17] While she aspired to become an actress, she made publicity appearances wearing the costume of Striker, the dog mascot of the US-based 1994 FIFA World Cup.[9] In 1995, she relocated to Hollywood. She appeared in various commercials for products such as Cascade dishwasher detergent,[20] Dimetapp, AT&T and Lean Cuisine and hosted free preview weekends on The Movie Channel.[21][22]

Between 1996 and 1997, Graham became a regular guest star on several NBC shows. She played a graduate student who caught the eye of Dick on 3rd Rock from the Sun; Richard's overly optimistic girlfriend on Caroline in the City; and Jerry's speed-dial ranking girlfriend on Seinfeld. She played a Hollywood producer who had a love interest in Detective Rey Curtis in a three-part episode of Law & Order, where she acted opposite Scott Cohen, who later played one of Graham's love interests (Max Medina) on Gilmore Girls. She also portrayed an antagonizing but friendship-starved efficiency expert on NewsRadio.

In addition to her many guest starring and co-starring roles on prime-time television, Graham starred in four failed sitcoms, Townies (with Molly Ringwald and Jenna Elfman);[23][24]Good Company; Conrad Bloom; and M.Y.O.B., which was burned off by NBC in the summer before the premiere of Gilmore Girls.

2000–08: Gilmore Girls and film roles

Graham at the Evan Almighty premiere in 2007
In 2000, Graham landed her breakthrough role on Gilmore Girls as Lorelai Gilmore—a witty "thirty-something" raising her teenage daughter in small-town Connecticut. Graham said she felt "really connected to the material"[25] and the script for the series resonated with her due to its complexities: "To me, this was one of the first times that I looked at something and I was like, 'It's serious and it's funny! It's deep and it's light,' especially then, I had never seen before."[26] For her work she received a nomination for Best Actress in a Television Series (Drama) at the 2002 Golden Globe Awards and nominations at the 2001 and 2002 SAG Awards.

Graham in 2008
Beginning with Season 7 episode "To Whom It May Concern" and continuing throughout the rest of the season, Graham served as a producer on Gilmore Girls. TV Guide reported that she received the position in an attempt to persuade her to sign for an eighth season.[27][28] By the series' end, Graham wanted to move on. "I didn't feel we had anything without our creators," she said.[29]

Graham returned to her guest-starring roots when she portrayed herself in two episodes of NBC's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. She also appeared in the second season of Bravo's Celebrity Poker Showdown, co-hosted by Dave Foley of Newsradio. After winning her preliminary match, she came in second to another former Newsradio star, Maura Tierney, in the championship game.[30]

Graham's film roles encompass several NYU student films and multiple major studio releases, including Sweet November, Bad Santa, The Pacifier, Because I Said So, and Evan Almighty.

Graham has said that she enjoys playing in short films, and acting in the Williamstown Theatre Festival.[31] She has performed in numerous short films, including the 15-minute-long Gnome. In 2007, Graham signed a seven-figure development deal with NBC in one of the year's richest TV talent pacts.[32] Graham also worked as the voice-over announcer in national advertising for Kellogg's various Special K products in 2007, and for American Express ads in 2008 introducing the Plum Card, which targets small and growing businesses.[33]

2009–2016: Broadway debut, Parenthood and Gilmore Girls reunion
Graham made her Broadway debut as Miss Adelaide in the revival of Guys and Dolls, which began preview performances at the Nederlander Theatre on February 5, 2009, and opened on March 1, 2009. Reviews of the production were mixed. The production closed June 14, playing 121 shows and 28 previews.[34][35]

It was announced in January 2009 that Graham would star in the comedy pilot The Bridget Show (previously Let It Go) for ABC playing a talk show host and self-help guru who fails to follow her own advice during a breakup. The pilot was not given a series order.[36][37] In September 2009, Graham voiced the character Fran Lockwood, Flint's late mother, in the Sony Pictures Animation film Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. In October 2009, it was announced that Graham would replace Maura Tierney in the television series Parenthood as single mother Sarah Braverman. Tierney left the show to seek treatment for cancer.[38] The series debuted on NBC the following year, and ran for a total of six seasons.[39]

In June 2010, it was confirmed that Graham would star in Scream 4,[40] but she left the project on June 30, 2010.[41] In July 2012, Graham was a guest judge in the first episode of Season 10 of the reality television series Project Runway.

In 2015, Graham appeared in the adventure drama film Max, playing the mother of an American marine killed in Afghanistan who subsequently adopts his Malinois dog.[42][43] She said she based her character on her grandparents who had different types of strength,[44] and that she felt connected to the film due to many in the film's choir having come from a church her grandfather attended.[45] Ignatiy Vishnevetsky[46] and Joe Neumaier[47] felt her role was too limited. The year also saw Graham beginning to appear recurrently in The Odd Couple, playing Gaby, the former wife of the series' main protagonist Oscar,[48] and appear in an episode of the hidden camera comedy Repeat After Me.[49]

Graham's first film in 2016 was the comedy drama Joshy.[50][51] Jesse Hassenger[52] and Michael Arbeiter[53] noted her small role in the film. In October 2016, Graham appeared in Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life, playing the mother of Griffin Gluck's character. As a result of her own distaste for parts of her youth, Graham related to the title, sparking her initial interest in participating.[54] That year she also reprised her role as Lorelai Gilmore on Netflix's reunion series, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.[55] Graham said she first realized Gilmore Girls was still the subject of active interest when girls too young to have watched the series when it initially aired approached her during her Broadway debut Guys and Dolls,[56] and admitted to crying while reading the script as she believed "it was just beautiful and fitting and what I wanted it to be and hoped for."[57] She said the project had more support from the beginning than any other she had been involved with,[58] and she continuously teared up out of appreciation for those working on the series and being able to reprise her role.[59]

2017–present: Later career
In October 2017, Graham appeared in three episodes of HBO's acclaimed comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm, which returned after a six-year hiatus.[60] She also voices the character Oxana Hauntley in the Disney Junior animated series Vampirina.[61]

From 2020 to 2021, Graham was a featured actress on the NBC show Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. She played Zoey's (Jane Levy) boss, Joan. From 2021 to 2022, Graham starred as Alex Morrow in The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, a Disney+ television series based on the 1992 film.

In 2024, Graham and Aisling Franciosi were cast opposite Dylan O'Brien and James Sweeney in David Permut's movie Twinless.[62][63]

In the media
Graham has appeared on the cover of numerous magazines, including Health, More,[64] Self, Seventeen,[65] Entertainment Weekly,[66] Redbook,[67] Good Housekeeping, Ladies' Home Journal, and Parade.[68]

Writing

Graham at a book signing in 2013
Graham's debut novel, Someday, Someday, Maybe was released by Ballantine Books (of Random House) on April 30, 2013. The comedic novel is a fictionalization of her experiences trying to become an actress in 1990s New York.[69] In May 2013, the book entered the New York Times best seller list.[70] Graham signed a deal with Warner Bros. Television and Ellen DeGeneres's production company A Very Good Production to adapt it into a TV series.[71] Graham wrote the screenplay for a pilot episode but it was not picked up for filming.

In November 2016, Graham's second book was published: a collection of personal essays titled Talking as Fast as I Can: from Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls (and Everything in Between).[72] It was also a New York Times best seller.[73] In November 2022, Graham published a second book of personal essays, Have I Told You This Already?: Stories I Don't Want to Forget to Remember.[74]

Graham has adapted the novel The Royal We into a screenplay for CBS Films; she finished the script in mid-2017.[12] She has optioned the movie rights for the novel, Windfall, by Jennifer E. Smith.[75] Graham's Don't Worry About It focuses on "advice for graduates and reflections on staying true to yourself" and was her third New York Times best seller.[76]

Personal life
Graham was in a relationship with actor Peter Krause from 2010 to 2021.[77] They first met in 1995 when they both appeared in the sitcom Caroline in the City, then became a couple while co-starring on Parenthood.[78][79] In June 2022, it was reported that the couple had ended their relationship after 11 years together.[80][81]

In the mid-1990s, Graham was roommates with actress Connie Britton.[82]

Tubi, Inc. (stylized as tubi) is an American over-the-top content platform and free ad-supported streaming television service owned by Fox Corporation since 2020,[2][3] and in 2023 it, Credible Labs, and a few other Fox digital assets were placed into a new division known as the Tubi Media Group. The service was launched on April 1, 2014, and is based in Los Angeles, California.[4][5]

In May 2024, it was reported to have 80 million monthly active users.[6] As of Jan. 2025, it is reported to have 97 million monthly active users.[7]

History

Tubi logo from 2017 to 2024
Tubi was founded by Farhad Massoudi and Thomas Ahn Hicks[8] of AdRise in San Francisco, launching in 2014 as a free service under the name Tubi TV.[9][10][11] In May 2017, they raised US$20 million in a round of funding from Jump Capital, Danhua Capital, Cota Capital, and Foundation Capital.[12] In June 2019, Tubi announced that it had over 20 million active monthly users,[13] and later in September, the company reported that users had streamed 132 million hours of content.[14] In September 2020, the company reported 33 million monthly users.[15]

In 2019, CEO Farhad Massoudi announced that Tubi would nearly double its 2018 spending on licensed content, close to US$100 million.[16] In February 2019, Tubi signed a distribution deal with NBCUniversal, which includes 400 TV episodes and films.[17]

Tubi became available on Vizio SmartCast on September 25, 2019.[18] On October 21, Tubi launched Tubi Kids, a dedicated hub for the streamer's children-centric content via Roku and supported devices.

Sale to Fox
On March 17, 2020, Fox Corporation announced that it would acquire Tubi for $440 million cash upfront, with the sale being completed on April 20; Farhad Massoudi would remain at the company, which would continue as a separate subsidiary.[19][3]

In December 2021, Fox acquired MarVista Entertainment, in a move to bolster Tubi's library and leverage its production capabilities for made-for-TV movies.[20]

In December 2022, Tubi signed a content deal with South Korean entertainment company CJ ENM, licensing a number of South Korean films and TV series.[21]

In January 2023, Tubi signed a content deal with Warner Bros. Discovery for 11 new FAST channels and adding on demand content from various Warner Bros. Discovery properties.[22]

In July 2023, Anjali Sud was announced as the new CEO of Tubi following the departure of Farhad Massoudi.[23]

In December 2023, Tubi signed a new content deal with Warner Bros Discovery to bring nine new FAST channels along with adding DC shows and movies for on demand.[24]

In May 2024, Tubi sued a law firm called Keller Postman for allegedly manufacturing tens of thousands of meritless discrimination claims against it in the hopes of coercing a settlement.[25]

Investors and board members
Sandy Grushow, former Fox TV chair, is an advisory board member.[26]

Mark Amin, former vice chair of Lionsgate, was an investor before the Fox acquisition.

As of 2014, Adrise, the company behind Tubi, has raised $4 million in capital. Principal investors include Foundation Capital, Bobby Yazdani, Zod Nazem, SGH Capital, and Streamlined Ventures.[27][28]

Global availability
In November 2015, AdRise partnered with Blue Ant Media to launch Tubi in Canada.[29]

Tubi became inaccessible throughout the European Union as a result of the GDPR entering into force on May 25, 2018.[30][31] It was later announced that Tubi would relaunch in the United Kingdom by early 2019.[32][33] In July 2024, Tubi relaunched in the United Kingdom with ads. According to their website, they "hope to relaunch in the EU in the future".[34] and is "working on compliance [with GDPR] and is planning to relaunch in European countries soon".[35]

Tubi officially launched in Australia and New Zealand on September 1, 2019.[36]

In January 2020, the platform announced an expansion to Mexico, in a partnership with TV Azteca.[37]

In July 2022, Tubi announced a partnership with Shaw Communications to make the service available to all of Shaw's customers, and further expanding Tubi's reach in Canada.[38]

In August 2022, the service launched in Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala and Panama.[39][40]

In July 2024, Tubi finally launched in the United Kingdom.[41]

Since its acquisition by Fox Corporation, Tubi also carries programming from Fox Entertainment, Fox Soul, local news from stations owned by Fox as well as affiliates of other major networks,[46] and Fox Weather. The service began producing its own original content in 2021, including television films and series.[47] And even before the acquisition, through the Español and Tubi Kids hubs respectively, the service also inherited former MundoFox game show Minuto para Ganar as well as a few shows that previously aired on Fox's former 4Kids TV block (such as Chaotic (only available in the Spanish-language section), Dinosaur King, G.I. Joe: Sigma 6, Sonic X, and several entries in the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise).[48][49]

Tubi uses a real-time bidding platform for advertisers that deliver video ads across various platforms.[50]
