'Adults' star Jack Innanen breaks down the Charlie Cox moment that made him gag on set
While Adults (on Disney+ in Canada, Hulu in the U.S.) has already been making us laugh every week, Episode 6 of the show is absolutely outrageous, in the best way. Speaking to Yahoo Canada in Toronto, one of the show's stars, Canadian Jack Innanen, talked about all the entertaining chaos in that episode, featuring Charlie Cox and Julia Fox. The core story for Episode 6 is that Billie (Lucy Freyer) wants to host a dinner party, with the hopes of showing a mature side of herself and her friends to her boyfriend, her former high school teacher, played by Cox. As Billie says, it's their "roast chicken" era. While everyone seems to at least be trying their best to be mature, things take a turn when Billie's boyfriend shows up and tells Samir (Malik Elassal) that he's high on a "pony dose" of ketamin, stressing that Samir can't tell anyone. But Samir can't help but tell his friends, but not Billie, as her boyfriend starts acting more and more bizarre. To add to the chaos, Paul Baker (Innanen) invites a friend to dinner, and it happens to be Julia Fox (playing herself), who makes his girlfriend Issa (Amita Rao) jealous. "I think the episode pretty much captured what it was like in real life," Innanen said. "I had a couple moments where I was just looking around like, 'What are we doing? This is awesome.'" "It was chaotic. Charlie, [he does this] dance and that was all him. And I remember he was just really into it and killing it. And I was standing off to the side just to watch. ... And then Julia, ... I'm pretty sure she just improvised every one of her lines, and it's so perfect. And it's so her that it was just like a master class. ... A bunch of takes my mouth is just open because I'm just like, 'Wow.!" It all leads to Billie serving a raw chicken, not knowing that it needed to be thawed before going in the oven. But in Mr. Teacher's high, he just keeps cutting this raw meat, with blood splattering, and it looks absolutely revolting. And then Cox's character starts eating the raw meat. For Innanen, that made him feel queasy on set. "I gagged. For real," Innanen said. "I don't do well with raw meat." "Someone else gagged too, which made me gag. ... What he ate, obviously, was like a gelatin thing. ... But it was real raw chicken on my plate. ... The best part was that we went to lunch right after that, and they were serving chicken, and it stayed absolutely untouched. Not a single person, like all 100 of the cast and crew, no one touched the chicken." And after that, Cox's character has a completely breakdown, with his ex-wife having to come get him out of Samir's parents home. With Episode 6 already being a highlight, looking ahead in the season, Innanen teased that Episode 8 includes a particularly shocking moment. "The last like 20 seconds of Episode 8, I've heard ... a lot of people go, 'Whoa. I wasn't expecting that,'" Innanen teased. "And so there's a little bit of a bomb drop, mic drop, at the end of eight that I think throws a little bit of a wrench in the group." We can't wait to watch more Adults for the rest of the season, but maybe with less raw chicken.

TVLine's Performer of the Week: Charlie Cox
THE PERFORMER | Charlie Cox More from TVLine And Just Like That EP Talks Working With Season 3's Top Scene Stealer: Carrie's Cat Resident Alien Season 4 Premiere Recap: Was Harry Able to Bust Out of Alien Jail? (Grade It!) And Just Like That EPs Tell All About the Hot New Gardener in Carrie's Life: 'That's Like an Aphrodisiac' THE SHOW | FX's Adults THE EPISODE | 'Roast Chicken' (June 11, 2025) THE PERFORMANCE | As the fortysomething educator known as Mr. Teacher, Cox is supposed to be the adult in the room on FX's Gen Z comedy Adults. But he was anything but this week, as Mr. Teacher got high on ketamine and trashed Billie's dreams of throwing the perfect dinner party, with the Daredevil actor delivering a truly uproarious comedic turn. Billie was excited to prove she was a grown-up by hosting a sophisticated dinner party, complete with roast chicken, but as soon as Mr. Teacher showed up, the vibes were definitely off, with Cox's wild eyes and goofy grin signaling that he wasn't himself. And sure enough, he confessed to Samir that he was on a 'very large, introductory dose of ketamine' — a pony dose! — to help him process his divorce, and he gleefully tripped his way through the evening, staring at his hands and giggling way too hard at Issa's stories. Mr. Teacher's mood turned grave, though, when he realized he couldn't see Billie anymore ('I'm dating a child!'), with Cox punctuating his epiphany with a sad yet hilarious somersault. Mr. Teacher bounced back later, with Cox showing off some very bizarre dance moves to the disco classic 'Sunny.' (Even Julia Fox was impressed.) And when Billie's chicken turned out raw, Mr. Teacher gamely carved it up anyway, chowing down on a slice, bloody juices and all. The evening quickly went south, with Cox smashing plates and yelling before meekly telling Billie: 'I think you might be my rock bottom.' By the time his ex-wife escorted him out in shame, Billie and her friends were more than ready to say goodbye to Mr. Teacher — but we hope this isn't the last time we get to see Cox flex his impressive comedy muscles. Scroll down to see who got Honorable Mention shout-outs this week… Charlotte York Goldenblatt needs to get out more. Kristin Davis always seems to shine whenever her And Just Like That… character goes out on the town and lets her hair down, and she didn't let us down this week, as Charlotte partied late into the night to keep up with her younger art gallery colleagues. Davis channeled Charlotte's perky optimism as she chased a lucrative art client… and she was adorably flustered when that client tried to lay a late night smooch on her. Plus, we giggled when a hungover Charlotte struggled to stay professional the next morning. Charlotte may not be able to keep up with the young kids anymore, but Davis is still serving up vintage comedy fastballs. — D.N. From dangerous baddie to doofy E.T., Enver Gjokaj ran the gamut with Grey/human hybrid Joseph. In the latest Resident Alien, he had us in stitches as the lovestruck alien pined over Asta, serenading her with Pavarotti and proffering a ludicrous marriage plan. When Joseph later regaled Harry, Asta and D'arcy with his Mantid encounter, the actor took center stage as he explained the character's 'tactical decision' to lay down, play dead and relieve himself (yuck) while his opponent made mincemeat out of his body. Gjokaj flexed faux bravado throughout, even as blood spurted from his wounds and the camera panned down to reveal a missing arm that played for comedy. If this was the last time we ever see Joseph in Patience, well, mission accomplished. The actor did a stellar job bringing both suspense and slapstick to the role, and most importantly? He left us wanting more. — Nick Caruso Which performance(s) knocked your socks off this week? Tell us in the comments!

Top TV series to watch on Disney+ for £1.99, including Grey's Anatomy and Netflix rival
Disney+ has brought back its cheapest streaming deal for 2022, making it the cheapest major streaming site - and there's plenty of series to watch on the platform The weekend is upon us and for those eager to unwind on the settee with a binge-worthy series, there's plenty to choose from. Disney+ is grabbing headlines with the return of one of its most cost-effective deals, as prices plummet to £1.99. The offer scraps the usual £4.99 per month cost of the Standard with Ads plan for £1.99 a month. This makes it the cheapest major streaming site, beating Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV+ tariffs. Customers will need to sign up for the subscription to secure the £1.99 price, but there's no obligatory contract and users can cancel after each 30-day period. The deal is up for grabs until 30 June, and it lasts for four months before reverting to the previous £4.99 rate, as The Mirror reports. With a jam-packed telly schedule for the summer, including the live-action Snow White and Marvel's Ironheart, there's loads to view. As a team brimming with series enthusiasts, we've got a few recommendations from the new Welcome to Wrexham season, reality dramas The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, or decade classics like Grey's Anatomy. Narin's top picks - Daredevil: Born Again and Welcome to Wrexham Daredevil: Born Again might be the best telly series I've watched this year so far. Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio reprise their roles as Daredevil and Kingpin as the two old foes clash once again, with both men attempting to balance their public personas and secret lives deeply entwined with New York's crime-infested underworld. The outcome is a programme that takes the best of the already-excellent Netflix series (including some fan favourite comebacks) and surprisingly makes it even darker and more brutal - what would Walt say? As a self-confessed comic book enthusiast, I admit that Marvel fatigue has been a reality for some time now, with much of their content proving to be a miss rather than a hit for me. Daredevil: Born Again (and indeed also Thunderbolts which will be arriving on the streaming giant soon) are a welcome and much-needed return to quality and definitely a must-watch. Welcome to Wrexham season four is currently streaming on Disney+ and this £1.99 deal lets you watch the exciting finale of the celebrity-led club's season week by week. In the brief four years since Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney purchased Wrexham AFC for £2 million, the club's fortunes have dramatically changed, transforming it into a £150m+ powerhouse in football. This programme provides an excellent behind-the-scenes glimpse at that rise, led by both men along with a cast of supporting characters, including the team's foul-mouthed yet brilliant manager Phil Parkinson and Executive Director Humphrey Ker. Don't let the football sidetrack you, though - at its heart, this is as much a show about the community and people who live around Wrexham as the on-pitch antics and all the better for it. If you prefer your reality TV to be uplifting rather than fraught with tension, then this is your next ideal binge watch. Phoebe's top pick - Grey's Anatomy My mum has always sworn by Grey's Anatomy, having watched it religiously since its debut in the mid-2000s. So, when it became available on Disney+, I decided to give it a try and see what all the fuss was about. I registered and immediately started binge-watching the captivating series. I can joyfully declare that Grey's Anatomy has secured a spot in my all-time favourite TV shows. It's brimming with emotion and passion, and features a host of characters I absolutely love. The show's creator, Shonda Rhimes, has me chuckling one moment and sobbing uncontrollably the next. With 21 series and over 400 episodes to be watched, it's guaranteed to keep households amused for months. Harriet's top pick - The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives If you're a fan of drama, gossip, affairs and the social media frenzy, then I'd highly recommend The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. The second series of this reality show has recently landed on Disney+ following a gripping first series - and I've never been more engrossed in a programme. I'd say you need to be a fan of shows like Keeping Up with Kardashians and The Real Housewives to appreciate this one. The series trails a group of MumTok influencers and their Mormon community as they manoeuvre through growing social presence and scandals. Jake's top pick - Andor Series 2 I've been a massive Star Wars enthusiast since my childhood, but had nearly abandoned the franchise after some of its recent offerings left me suffering from Jedi fatigue. That was until the new series of Andor reeled me back in completely. Despite not being overly impressed by the first series, I found myself utterly captivated by the eponymous rebel spy's latest mission, so much so that I binged the entire thing over a single weekend. It may not feature any lightsabers or Jedi, but what it does provide firmly establishes its place as one of the finest Star Wars titles there is and without question, the best episodic instalment yet. There simply aren't enough superlatives to describe the series; it's exquisitely filmed, each performance is Emmy-worthy and the high-stakes of Andor's mission result in incredibly gripping viewing – particularly in the latter half of the series. Rewatching Rogue One – which takes place immediately after the Andor finale – entirely alters the viewer's perspective on the story, enhancing an already fantastic film. Jada's top pick - Abbotts Elementary Quinta Brunson has been on my radar since her 'he got money' videos went viral during my teenage years. I've followed her career through the Buzzfeed era and when I discovered that her award-winning show would be available to stream on Disney+ I knew it was time to subscribe. Abbott Elementary centres around a public school in Philadelphia where the odds are stacked against everyone. It's consistently hilarious and I'd love to be a fly on the wall in their writer's room. Quinta portrays Janine Teagues, a bubbly second-grade teacher brimming with enthusiasm to make a positive impact. There's a romantic tension brewing between Janine and Gregory, portrayed by Everybody Hates Chris star Tyler James Williams, that had me cheering for them throughout as they clumsily navigate their feelings. It's undoubtedly the best mockumentary sitcom I've ever seen, my only complaint is that episodes are released later in the UK than the US - so I made sure to catch up with the season finale when I visited the states earlier this year. Something Disney+ doesn't offer and Eve's favourite 1883 is, without question, one of the finest TV series I have watched to date. I'm quite eclectic when it comes to the shows I watch. I'm a big fan of Gilmore Girls and Ginny and Georgia (both on Netflix) as well as the thrilling, edge-of-your-seat, relatively brutal mob-family spectacle Mobland (Amazon Prime), Ted Lesso (Apple TV), The Last of Us (NOW) and New Girl (Disney+). Each of which bring very different things to the table. But when 1883 was recommended to me, aside from knowing the bare bones of its description, I had no idea what to expect. A prequel to the highly acclaimed Yellowstone (a show still on my watch-list), 1883 is an American Western drama miniseries which traces the origin story of the Dutton family to the Yellowstone ranch. The show follows the five Dutton family members in post-Civil War America as they escape poverty in Texas and embark on a long, gruelling journey through the Great Plains in search of a better future in Montana. According to IMDB, the show's synopsis is: "The post-Civil War generation of the Dutton family travels to Texas, and joins a wagon train undertaking the arduous journey west to Oregon, before settling in Montana to establish what would eventually become the Yellowstone Ranch." Delving into the lives of ranchhands and cowboys, as well as the history, struggles, and conflicts faced by Native Americans during this era, it's an action-packed and emotionally charged story that had me captivated. This 10-part series boasts an impressive cast, including notable figures from film and country music such as Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Sam Elliott, with guest appearances by Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Hanks. Its sequel, 1923, features Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford, and is also an exceptional watch on Paramount+.

‘Loki and Daredevil would have a fun match-up!' Tom Hiddleston eyes Marvel collab with Charlie Cox
Tom Hiddleston wants to work with Charlie Cox in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The 44-year-old actor has portrayed Loki since 2011's Thor and is set to return as the God of Mischief in Avengers: Doomsday, and Hiddleston has now revealed he wants to join forces with the Daredevil: Born Again star, 42, in a future MCU project. When Buzzfeed Celeb asked Hiddleston which Marvel actor he'd most like to collaborate with in the superhero franchise, he said: 'I've worked with a lot of them now, and that's been a great joy. It's hard to pick one, because they're all such extraordinary actors. 'I'd like to work with Daredevil. Charlie Cox is a dear friend of mine. I think Loki and Daredevil would have a fun match-up. 'Charlie and I were in a play together on Broadway on Halloween, and I dressed up as Daredevil and he dressed up as Loki. It was really fun!' As well as Hiddleston's Loki, Avengers: Doomsday will see the return of Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as The Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as The Human Torch and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing. The 2026 blockbuster will introduce former Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. as Marvel's new big bad, Doctor Doom. While Avengers: Doomsday will include swathes of fan-favourite characters, Cox previously insisted he wouldn't appear in the film. During Marvel's livestream for Avengers: Doomsday in March, the studio revealed returning cast members by showing chairs with their names on the back, though Cox's name did not appear. Following Cox's absence from the announcement livestream, he told Screen Rant: 'It's not there, is it? 'Listen, the way that information gets to us is the same way that it gets to everyone else normally. At least historically, that's been the case. 'Someone sent me the link. I looked for my name. It's not there. So, maybe one day.' Before the livestream, it had been theorised that the Devil of Hell's Kitchen would be included in Avengers: Doomsday, with speculation growing around Christmas last year when Cox was spotted working out at DFRNT Health and Fitness in Western Australia. The gym owners had posted an image of Cox and his wife Sam in the health club with the caption: 'Charlie is currently training for his role in the upcoming Avengers movie', though the actor later revealed he had been training for the second season of Daredevil: Born Again - not for the blockbuster. The actor called his bosses to insist he didn't tell anyone he would be suiting up as Daredevil in Avengers: Doomsday, and admitted he felt 'terrible' when the speculation began. Cox told Entertainment Weekly: 'I was there for Christmas with my family. And on the last day, they asked if they could take a picture with me, which we did. 'I had said to them, 'I'm getting ready to play Daredevil', because I am! I'm getting ready to play Daredevil in season two of Daredevil: Born Again. 'Sometimes people who aren't really in the [entertainment] world, they don't understand the terminology or whatever, but for some reason they posted that and they put, 'Getting ready for his role in the Avengers', which is not true. 'I felt terrible. I had to call my bosses and say, 'I didn't say that,' obviously. Why would I say that? Why would I make something like that up?'

Disney+ is making headlines for the return of one of its most affordable deals, as prices drop to £1.99.

With a packed TV guide for the summer, including the live-action Snow White and Marvel's Ironheart, there's plenty to watch. As a team filled with series lovers, we've got a handful of recommendations from the new Welcome to Wrexham season, reality dramas The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, or decade classics like Grey's Anatomy. Narin's favourites - Daredevil: Born Again and Welcome to Wrexham Daredevil: Born Again might be the best TV series I've watched this year so far. Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio reprise their roles as Daredevil and Kingpin as the two old adversaries clash once more, with both men trying to juggle their public personas and secret lives inextricably linked with New York's crime-ridden underbelly. The result is a show that takes the best of the already-brilliant Netflix run (including some fan favourite returns) and surprisingly makes it even darker and more brutal - what would Walt say? As a proud comic book geek I freely confess that Marvel fatigue has been a thing for a while now, with much of their output proving a miss rather than a hit for me. Daredevil: Born Again (and actually also Thunderbolts which will be coming to the streaming giant in due course) are a pleasing and much-needed return to quality and definitely a must-see. Welcome to Wrexham season four is streaming now on Disney+ and this £1.99 deal allows you to watch the thrilling climax of the celeb-led club's season week by week. In the four short years since A-listers Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought Wrexham AFC for £2 million the club's fortunes have transformed, taking it into a £150m+ force in football. This show offers a great behind-the-scenes look at that ascendance, led by both men alongside a cast of supporting characters, including the team's sweary yet brilliant manager Phil Parkinson and Executive Director Humphrey Ker. Don't let the football distract you, though - at its core, this is as much a show about the community and people who live around Wrexham as the on-pitch shenanigans and all the better for it. If you like your reality TV heartwarming rather than angsty then this is your next perfect binge watch. Harriet's favourite - The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives If drama, gossip, affairs and the craze of social media is your thing then I'd highlighy recommend The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Season 2 of the reality series has recently hit Disney+ after a gripping first season - and I've never been more hooked on a series. Yes, you have to enjoy shows like Keeping Up with Kardashians and The Real Housewives to love this. The series follows a group of MomTok influencers and their Mormon community as they navigate growing social presence and scandals. Jake's favourite - Andor Season 2 I've been a huge Star Wars fan since I was a little kid, but had almost given up on the franchise after some of its recent output left me with Jedi fatigue. That was until the new season of Andor pulled me well and truly back in. After admittedly not being blown away by the first season, I was completely gripped by the eponymous rebel spy's latest mission, so much so that I binged the whole thing in one weekend. It may not feature any lightsabers or Jedi, but what it does offer cements its position as one of the greatest Star Wars titles there is and without doubt, the best episodic instalment yet. There simply aren't enough superlatives to describe the series; it's beautifully shot, each performance is Emmy-worthy and the high-stakes of Andor's mission result in incredibly intense viewing – especially in the latter half of the series. Going back to watch Rogue One – which is set immediately after the Andor finale – completely changes the viewer's perspective on the story, making a great film even better. Jada's favourite - Abbotts Elementary Quinta Brunson has been on my radar since she first went viral for her 'he got money' videos when I was a teenager, with her enthusiastically telling anyone who would listen that her cinema date was rich since he bought a large popcorn. I've watched her through the Buzzfeed years and when I heard that her award-winning show was going to be available to stream on Disney+ I knew it was time to get a subscription. Abbott Elementary is about a public school in Philadelphia where the odds aren't really in anyone's favour. It's so consistently funny that I'd love to be a fly on the wall of their writer's room. Quinta plays Janine Teagues, a perky second-grade teacher with so much enthusiasm to make a positive difference. The cast are all hilarious in their own right, Ava the principal (played by Janelle James), who bribed her way into a job has to be one of the standout characters and over the seasons she seems a little more vulnerable even if she remains obnoxiously tone deaf. There's romantic tension with Janine and Gregory, played by Everybody Hates Chris star Tyler James Williams, that had me routing for them the whole way through as they awkwardly navigate their feelings. It's easily the best mockumentary sitcom I've ever seen, my only gripe is the episodes are released later in the UK than the US - so I made sure to catch up to the season finale when I visited the states earlier this year. Eve's favourite is something Disney+ doesn't offer 1883 is, without a doubt, one of the best TV series I have watched to date. I'm a bit of an all-rounder when it comes to the shows I watch. I'm a sucker for Gilmore Girls and Ginny & Georgia (both on Netflix) as well as the hit, edge-of-your-seat, relatively brutal mob-family extravaganza Mobland (Amazon Prime), Ted Lesso (Apple TV), The Last of Us (NOW) and New Girl (Disney+). All of which bring very different things to the table. But when I was recommended 1883, aside from knowing the bare bones of its description, I had no idea what to expect. A prequel to the highly regarded Yellowstone (a show still on my watch-list), 1883 is an American Western drama miniseries which follows the origin story of the Dutton family to the Yellowstone ranch. The show sees the five Dutton family members in post-Civil War America flee poverty in Texas and embark on a long, arduous journey through the Great Plains in the hope of a better future in Montana. A description of the show on IMDB reads: 'The post-Civil War generation of the Dutton family travels to Texas, and joins a wagon train undertaking the arduous journey west to Oregon, before settling in Montana to establish what would eventually become the Yellowstone Ranch.' Exploring the use and roles ranchhands/cowboys as well as the history, challenges and conflicts faced by the Indiginous Americans during this period, it's an action-packed, heart-wrenching story that had me hooked. The 10-part series features some pretty big names in the world of film as country music such as Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Sam Elliott and even has cameos from Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Hanks. Its sequel, 1923, stars Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford - also an incredible watch on Paramount+ Phoebe's favourite - Grey's Anatomy Grey's Anatomy is my mum's favourite TV show of all time. She has been a loyal viewer since the first series aired in the mid-2000s, so when it was announced that the American medical drama would be available on Disney+, I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I signed up and began binge-watching the gripping show right away. I can happily say Grey's Anatomy has earned a place in my top TV shows of all-time. It's full of heart and passion, and a bunch of characters I adore. The show's creator Shonda Rhimes has me laughing out loud one minute and ugly crying the next. With there being 21 series and over 400 episodes waiting to be watched, it's sure to keep households entertained for months.
