What's Happening?
The television series 'Everwood,' which starred Chris Pratt in one of his early roles, is making a return to streaming platforms. Originally aired on the WB from 2002 to 2006, the show is a teen drama that follows the life of a neurosurgeon, Dr. Andrew
Brown, who relocates to the small town of Everwood, Colorado, with his children after the death of his wife. Chris Pratt played the character Bright Abbott, the son of a local physician, throughout the show's four seasons. The series is set to be available on Pluto TV starting June 1, 2026. 'Everwood' was initially canceled due to the merger of The WB with UPN, which led to the formation of The CW, preventing a planned fifth season from being produced.
Why It's Important?
The return of 'Everwood' to streaming platforms highlights the enduring appeal of early 2000s television dramas and provides an opportunity for new audiences to discover Chris Pratt's early work. This move also reflects a broader trend in the entertainment industry where classic shows are being revived or made available on streaming services, catering to both nostalgia and the demand for diverse content. For Chris Pratt, this revival underscores his career trajectory from television to becoming a major film star, known for roles in 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and 'Jurassic World.' The availability of 'Everwood' on streaming platforms could also boost viewership and interest in other projects from the show's creator, Greg Berlanti, who has since become a significant figure in television production.
