Keanu Reeves, Nicole Kidman and Oscar Isaac round out the casts of new spring TV set in LA

A woman with long wavy red hair sits at a desk across from a woman with long blond wavy hair and a man with a shaved head, beard and an earring. Only the backs of the couple are visible. They both are wearing black jackets. Behind the red-headed woman (Nicole Kidman) is a beige painted brick wall with two degrees hung on it and a long narrow window above it.

A new and returning slate of TV shows and straight-to-streaming movies are heading your way this spring, with a good number of them set here in Los Angeles (and one in Orange County).

From (yet another!) comedy about the entertainment industry — this one starring Keanu Reeves, Cameron Diaz and Jonah Hill — to one set (and filmed in) Fullerton — starring Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer, and based on the popular novel of the same name.

Outcome (April 10, Apple TV)

Two white men, one middle aged one older and balding, sit facing each other in a bowling alley booth. Behind them are arcade games and in front of them are rows of bowling balls. Everything is illuminated by black light so bright colors pop.

This dark comedy was co-written and directed by Jonah Hill, who also plays Hollywood mega star Reef Hawk’s (Keanu Reeves) crisis lawyer in the film. After Hawk finds himself blackmailed with the release of a video that could destroy his career, he sets off on an apology tour in the hopes of stopping the extortion plot.

Matt Bomer and Cameron Diaz play Hawk’s friends, alongside a star-studded cast including Susan Lucci, Martin Scorsese, Drew Barrymore, Laverne Cox and comedians Roy Wood Jr., Atsuko Okatsuka and David Spade.

Based on the hit 2024 novel of the same name, Margo’s Got Money Troubles is about a 19-year-old aspiring writer and single mom (Elle Fanning) who lives in Fullerton and turns to OnlyFans to make ends meet.

Margo’s mom, an ex-Hooters waitress, is played by Michelle Pfeiffer, and her dad, a former pro wrestler, is played by Nick Offerman (with Nicole Kidman playing an old wrestling buddy of his).

The show was filmed in Los Angeles, downtown Fullerton and on the Fullerton College campus, with over $50,000 of the proceeds reportedly going to a scholarship fund.

Funny AF (April 20, Netflix)

A Black man (Kevin Hart) in a black jacket and pants stands in front of a white marquee sign with red light bulbs around the edge that reads "The Hollywood Improv, Tonight, Funny AF, With Kevin Hart, Showcase." He has one hand in his pocket and one pointing up to the sign.

The reality competition show Funny AF is only partially filmed/set in Los Angeles (with auditions also in New York and Chicago), but we’re including it on this list because the finale is set to take place in Los Angeles at the Netflix is a Joke Festival.

Comedian Kevin Hart hosts this search for “the next stand-up superstar,” with help from guest judges including Kumail Nanjiani, Chelsea Handler and Keegan-Michael Key.

The winner, ultimately chosen from a list of finalists by audience votes, will get their own Netflix stand-up special.

Another slight outlier, we’re calling this documentary L.A.-based because of the Lakers connection. Jerry West: The Logo is about the All-Star Los Angeles Lakers player and executive whose silhouette was the basis for the NBA logo.

Returning shows, also with SoCal locations

Hacks (April 9, HBO Max)

The fifth and final season of Hacks (HBO Max) premieres this week. The season was partially filmed in L.A., along with Las Vegas, New York and Paris. A side note on the show’s L.A. filming locations: the Altadena home that was featured as the “side mansion” of lead character Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) burned down in the 2025 Eaton Fire.

Euphoria (April 12, HBO Max)

The show, returning for a third season (which may be its last) is set in the fictional city of East Highland but is largely shot in and around Los Angeles. Zendaya returns to her Emmy-winning role of Rue, along with supporting cast members Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi.
