30 Sets of TV Stars that Should Definitely Work Together.

In This Article:

Pick a show. Any show. There's probably about 100 swimming around in your head right now due to this wild age of streaming & the fact that we are stuck in our houses for the foreseeable future. Take the star of that glorious show and just revel in how good they are in the part they play. Now, cry, because I'm about to mush them together with another TV star and ruin the sanctity of TV. All in a day's work...

Kaitlyn Dever (Last seen on Unreal on Netflix)

Dream Co-star:Joey King (Last seen on The Act on Hulu)

My reasoning: What these two lack in age, they make up for in experience and talent, as they both have given emotionally heavy performances in the past year and would be absolutely dynamite in a series together.

Ben Platt (Last seen on The Politician on Netflix)

https://twitter.com/NetflixUK/status/1179715770701565953/photo/2

Dream Co-star:Darren Criss (Last seen on The Assassination of Gianni Versace on FX)

My reasoning: These two both have the voice of an angel and would be killer in a musical show.

Emma Mackey (Last seen on Sex Education on Netflix)

https://twitter.com/StylistMagazine/status/1214645641063874562/photo/1

Dream Co-star:Jacob Elordi (Last seen on Euphoria on HBO)

My reasoning: Both known for being on provocative teen shows that definitely push the envelope, these two have the fun accents and boatloads of talent to work together in the future.

Billy Porter (Last seen on Pose on FX)

https://twitter.com/HelloBeautiful/status/1221898806989443072/photo/2

Dream Co-star:Brett Gray (Last seen on On My Block on Netflix)

My reasoning: Although this might seem like an odd pairing, I could just see it working. Porter's persona matched with Gray's comedic chops & sass (his acting has carried the past 3 seasons of his show) would be perfection, and the first idea coming to mind is about a college boy discovering that his long-lost father is a drag queen who teaches him life lessons and a few moves.

Katherine Newton (Last seen on The Society on Netflix)

https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1228017971215261697/photo/1

Dream Co-star:Lili Reinhart (Last seen on Riverdale on The CW)

My reasoning: These two blondes give me sister vibes for some reason, and I like the idea of them in a dramatic show together- maybe about siblings coming together to grieve a loss of a parent or something like that.

Andy Samberg (Last seen on Brooklyn Nine Nine on NBC)

https://twitter.com/TeamID/status/1230937400399912960/photo/4

Dream Co-star: Paul Rudd (Last seen on Living With Yourself on Netflix)

My reasoning: Basically ageless, neither of these two actors seemed to have gained a wrinkle in the past 15 years, and they can use that magic to make a show full of laughs.

Danielle Rose Russell (Last seen on Legacies on The CW)

https://twitter.com/NKDmag/status/1069607186605600769/photo/1

The Co-star:Charlie Plummer (Last seen on Looking for Alaska on Hulu)

My reasoning: Two up and coming young actors like these two could definitely act great together. I'm thinking a drama with either a paranormal twist or set in a different decade.

Logan Lerman (Hunters on Amazon Prime)

https://twitter.com/fox5dc/status/755407355777605632/photo/1

Dream Co-star: Emma Roberts (Last seen on American Horror Story on FX)

My reasoning: Whether these two actors first stole your hearts in Perks of Being a Wallflower or Unfabulous, or you've just learned of them in their recent work, they could be a deadly combo in some type of biographical show.

Jennifer Aniston (Last seen on The Morning Show on Apple TV+)

https://twitter.com/DEADLINE/status/1219474722674470912/photo/1

Dream Co-star:Nicole Kidman (Last seen on Big Little Lies on HBO)

My reasoning: Two names that need no introduction, I'm shocked that these two haven't worked together yet, and they should get on that stat.

Dacre Montgomery (Last seen on Stranger Things on Netflix)

https://twitter.com/dacremontgomery/status/1208194689213448192/photo/1

Dream Co-star: Elizabeth Gillies (Last seen on Dynasty on The CW)

My reasoning: The roles these actors have most recently starred in have them both rocking awesome hair and lots of take no bullshoot attitude, so I think that they would match up very nicely.

Reese Witherspoon (Last seen on Little Fires Everywhere on Hulu)

https://twitter.com/ReeseW/status/1217484551687028736/photo/1

Dream Co-star:Kirsten Dunst (Last seen on On Becoming a God in Central Florida on Showtime)

My reasoning: Witherspoon has been all over television the past couple years and gives a stellar performance each turn. Lots of big stars often tag along with her in these projects, so I think that Dunst would be an obvious next choice.

Bill Hader (Last seen on Barry on HBO)

https://twitter.com/TheEricGoldman/status/1211502776439595009/photo/1

Dream Co-star:Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Last seen on Fleabag on Amazon Prime)

My reasoning: During award season, two of the shows receiving the most attention in the comedy category are headlined by these two humorous standouts, so it would only be logical that they work together eventually.

Kerry Washington (Last seen on Little Fires Everywhere on Hulu)

https://twitter.com/kerrywashington/status/1229949696472309760/photo/1

Dream Co-star: January Jones (Last seen on Spinning Out on Netflix)

My reasoning: Witherspoon's most recent co-star has most definitely proven herself as a star in the past decade, and I'm ready for her to tackle another gritty drama series this time with the very talented Jones at her side.

Milo Ventimiglia (Last seen on This Is Us on NBC)

https://twitter.com/accessonline/status/1081203601836593152/photo/1

Dream Co-star:Sam Heughan (Last seen on Outlander on Starz)

My reasoning: Not to be objectifying to people's bodies, but these two beefcakes could surely headline the next big action show on television.

Sandra Oh (Last seen on Killing Eve on BBC America)

https://twitter.com/enews/status/1082082959656714241/photo/1

Dream Co-star:Kit Harrington (Last seen on Game of Thrones on HBO)

My reasoning: Don't ask me how I came up with this pairing, but all I'm saying is both Oh and Harrington starred in very well-known shows of the past couple years and would match up well in maybe some type of legal drama.

Penn Badgley (Last seen on You on Netflix)

https://twitter.com/Brocklesnitch/status/1211636290283720704/photo/1

Dream Co-star: Zoë Kravitz (Last seen on High Fidelity on Hulu)

My reasoning: Something about this matchup just makes sense, IDK. *shrug emoji*

Yara Shahidi (Last seen on Grown-ish on Freeform)

https://twitter.com/ArcLightCinemas/status/1129824484154925056/photo/1

Dream Co-star:Jharrel Jerome (When They See Us on Netflix)

My reasoning: I think the important topics discussed in the book The Hate U Give could transfer easily into a tv show, and I'm here for seeing these two successful young stars step into those roles.

Charles Melton (Last seen on Riverdale on The CW)

https://twitter.com/GQMagazine/status/1129058970533072897/photo/4

Dream Co-star:Randall Park (Last seen on Fresh Off the Boat on ABC)

My reasoning: The concept of this show struck me across the face. So here me out- Melton stars as a rising movie star and model living in Hollywood until his down-on-his-luck and completely opposite father played by Park has to come to live with him. Boom comedy gold.

D' Arcy Carden (Last seen on The Good Place on NBC)

https://twitter.com/NetflixUK/status/1123927502689378304/photo/1

Dream Co-star: Nico Santos (Last seen on Superstore on NBC)

My reasoning: Both these actors are known for stealing every scene they're in of their respective shows, so them coming together would be brilliant.

Jack Quaid (Last seen on The Boys on Amazon Prime)

https://twitter.com/decider/status/1154447661916803072/photo/1

Dream Co-star: Lucy Hale (Last seen on Katy Keene on The CW)

My reasoning: I really don't know where these show ideas are coming from, but with these two, I'm picturing newlyweds trying to take over the family business of like a bakery or something, and hijinks ensue.

Kiernan Shipka (Last seen on The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix)

https://twitter.com/DenofGeekUS/status/1113074547245318145/photo/1

Dream Co-star:Sophia Lillis (Last seen on I Am Not Okay With This on Netflix)

My reasoning: "Sisters, sisters. There were never such devoted sisters." Come on you could totally see them acting together as siblings in something.

Griffin Gluck (Last seen on Locke & Key on Netflix)

https://twitter.com/decider/status/1239609996012380162/photo/1

Dream Co-star: Grant Gustin (Last seen on The Flash on The CW)

My reasoning: Staying on the sibling train, there is sort of a resemblance between these actors, and I would love to see that on screen.

Regina King (Last seen on Watchmen on HBO)

https://twitter.com/ReginaKing/status/1184158704087617536/photo/1

Dream Co-star:Olivia Colman (Last seen on The Crown on Netflix)

My reasoning: Hi, two Oscar winners together just seems like a no-brainer.

Jason Bateman (Last seen on Ozark on Netflix)

https://twitter.com/batemanjason/status/1092085526063005696/photo/1

Dream Co-star:Michelle Williams (Last seen Fosse/Verdon on FX)

My reasoning: Both of these actors have found success on both the movie and tv screen, so they would definitely by association find success starring in something side by side.

Rita Moreno (Last seen on One Day at a Time on Pop)

https://twitter.com/TheRitaMoreno/status/1022153396579643393/photo/1

Dream Co-star:Jane Fonda (Last seen on Grace & Frankie on Netflix)

My reasoning:One word- LEGENDS.

Iain Armitage (Last seen on Young Sheldon on CBS)

https://twitter.com/IainLoveTheatre/status/1187389355716833281/photo/1

Dream Co-star:Alyvia Alyn Lind (Last seen on Daybreak on Netflix)

My reasoning: They might be small in stature, but these young stars make a big splash in the shows they star in, so why the heck not?

Alex Borstein (Last seen on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon Prime)

https://twitter.com/atzuniga/status/1204746567217008640/photo/1

Dream Co-star:Andre Braugher (Last seen on Brooklyn Nine Nine on NBC)

My reasoning: Not many actors have as many hilarious one-liners as these two, so lets bring them together for double the laughs.

Aiden Gallagher (Last seen on Umbrella Academy on Netflix)

https://twitter.com/AidanRGallagher/status/1232753440121425921/photo/1

Dream Co-star: Sadie Sink (Last seen on Stranger Things on Netflix)

My reasoning: Netflix better get on this and make a show with these talented teens.

Sutton Foster (Last seen on Younger on TV Land)

https://twitter.com/TVLine/status/1189288252441800711/photo/1

Dream Co-star:Meghann Fahy (Last seen on The Bold Type on Freeform)

My reasoning: This one might seem weird, but Fahy plays a character named Sutton on her show, so that's how I made the connection. That's all I really got though, folks.

Joshua Bassett (Last seen on High School Musical: The Musical: The Series on Disney+)

https://twitter.com/radiodisney/status/1217157180765491208/photo/1

Dream Co-star: Isabel May (Last seen on Alexa & Katie on Netflix)

My reasoning: This pairing would be *chef's kiss*, and if you haven't watched Alexa & Katie on Netflix yet, then what are you doing with your life?

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

panera bread

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

You're pretty much feeling yourself. New haircut, clothes, shoes, everything. New year, new you, right? You're ready for this semester to kick off.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
