Busy Philipps Reunites with Girls5Eva Co-Star on New Show

Actresses Busy Philipps and Renée Elise Goldsberry, who previously starred together on the musical comedy Girls5Eva, have reunited for Philipps' new television series, Cupertino. The show, which airs on CBS and streams on Paramount+, features Philipps and Goldsberry in prominent roles, marking Philipps' return to television following her health-related surgery earlier this year.

Cupertino centers on attorneys in Silicon Valley who represent individuals harmed by the technology industry. The series tackles contemporary themes, including the proliferation and implications of artificial intelligence. Philipps herself expressed reservations about AI, advocating for traditional methods like handwriting in education and highlighting concerns about unchecked corporate power and the necessity of regulatory frameworks.

The show also resonates with Philipps' personal philosophy on female empowerment, particularly for women over 40. She finds inspiration in portraying characters who discover their voices and embrace new beginnings later in life, emphasizing that personal and professional journeys can flourish at any age, even after significant life changes like marriage dissolution.
