The two leading ladies of *Mom* have successfully leveraged their sitcom fame into major new projects, particularly in the film world. Allison Janney, in particular, is cementing her status as a powerhouse character actress with a packed slate for 2025. Allison Janney's Busy 2025 Film Slate Janney, who won an Emmy for her portrayal of Bonnie Plunkett, has multiple high-profile films slated for release in 2025. One of her most anticipated projects is the dark comedy film 'The Roses', which is scheduled for release on August 29, 2025. Janney filmed this project in London in 2024, where she takes on the role of an attorney. Another major film is the comedy-drama 'Everything's Going to Be Great' (2025), directed by Jon S. Baird, in which she stars alongside Benjamin Evan. Her versatility continues to shine, as she is also part of the ensemble in the 2025 comedy film 'Oh, Hi!'. Janney's continued presence in both major studio and independent films keeps her at the forefront of Hollywood’s elite. She was also seen attending a special screening of *The Diplomat* Season 3 in New York in October 2025, keeping her relevant on the awards circuit. Anna Faris's Return to the *Scary Movie* Franchise Anna Faris, who played Christy Plunkett and left *Mom* after Season 7 to pursue new opportunities, is making a major return to her comedy roots. It has been confirmed that Faris will be reprising her iconic role as Cindy Campbell in 'Scary Movie 6', which is scheduled for an August 18, 2025, release. This return to the horror-comedy genre, alongside co-star Regina Hall, is highly anticipated by fans and represents a significant new chapter for the actress. Beyond the blockbuster comedy, Faris has other upcoming films, including the Andrew Niccol film 'I, Object' and the project 'Summer Madness'. On a personal note, Faris experienced a significant event in January 2025 when her home in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, was lost.

The Ensemble: New TV Series, Indie Films, and Activism

William Fichtner’s Jump to AMC's *Talamasca* William Fichtner, who played Adam Janikowski, Bonnie’s husband, has secured a major role in a new supernatural television series. Fichtner has joined the cast of AMC’s 'Talamasca: The Secret Order', which is part of the Anne Rice Immortal Universe. The series is slated to premiere on AMC and AMC+ on October 19, 2025. This role as a series regular marks a significant return to serialized television for the veteran actor, known for his work in *Prison Break* and numerous films. He also stars in the 2025 horror movie 'The Sound'. Jaime Pressly’s Guest Role on *Elsbeth* Jaime Pressly, who played the wealthy and often dramatic Jill Kendall, is making a notable guest appearance on network television. Pressly is set to star in an episode of the CBS drama 'Elsbeth' Season 3, titled "Glamazons". This role demonstrates her continued ability to take on diverse characters outside of the sitcom format, providing a fresh look at her dramatic and comedic range. Her appearance is highly anticipated as a key part of the show's third season. Mimi Kennedy’s Indie Film and Author Focus Mimi Kennedy, the wise and calming presence Marjorie, has been active in independent cinema and her long-standing work as an author and activist. In 2024, she starred in the short film 'Death Pays Flora a Visit', which was an official selection at the 2024 Gig Harbor Film Festival and the Post Alley Film Festival in Seattle. This film allowed her to explore a new dramatic role. Kennedy also continues to promote her work as an author, participating in book talks and signings, such as events scheduled for late 2025 and early 2026, where she discusses her book and activism. Beth Hall’s Enduring Legacy as Wendy Beth Hall, who played the often-ignored but beloved nurse Wendy Harris, is currently enjoying the residual fame of her memorable character. While a specific, named 2025 acting project is not highly publicized, her work on *Mom* and her prior appearances on shows like *Mad Men* and *Parks and Recreation* ensure she remains a prominent figure in the entertainment world. Hall’s portrayal of Wendy, the perpetually cheerful and resilient nurse, secured her a place as one of the most recognizable and beloved supporting characters in modern sitcom history. The cast of *Mom* has clearly moved into a new era of their careers, with multiple major projects scheduled for 2025. From Allison Janney’s return to the big screen and Anna Faris’s reprisal of her iconic role, to William Fichtner’s new AMC drama and Jaime Pressly’s guest-starring turn, the talent that made the sitcom a success continues to thrive across the entertainment landscape. Fans of the show have a wealth of new content to look forward to from these beloved actors.
