hiatus

Scott’s “Gladiator II” from Paramount Pictures is the latest sequel to return after a decades-long hiatus.

There’s also something comforting for audiences in seeing familiar faces on the screen, like Tom Cruise in 2022’s “Top Gun: Maverick,” which returned to the flyboy’s story after a 36-year hiatus, or Will Smith and Martin Lawrence in 2020’s “Bad Boys for Life,” which came 17 years after the franchise’s last installment.

But following personal battles between Stephens and the other half of the duo - Harley Alexander-Sule - Rizzle Kicks took a hiatus that ended up lasting eight years.

Brad Udall, a climate scientist at Colorado State University, said that “at best, Trump’s win means a four-year hiatus on US domestic and international leadership on greenhouse gas reduction efforts. ... Unfortunately, the impacts are likely to last much longer than just four years given the way long-term investments and planning work in the energy sector.”

Returning to CBS Thursday after a hiatus, “Elsbeth” is centered on a character from the “Good Wife” universe, but the shows’ creators say the similarities end there.
