2 articles · Updated · Deadline · Jun 26

Summary

  • Nick Reiner’s case on two first-degree murder counts has been pushed to the fall while investigators continue collecting evidence.
  • February proceedings had produced a not guilty plea from Reiner, who is accused of killing his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner, at their Brentwood home on Dec. 14.
  • The update surfaced as FX on Hulu’s The Bear ended after five seasons, with its series finale including a subtle tribute to Rob Reiner through Albert Schnurr, the consultant character he played in a three-episode Season 4 arc.
  • That finale featured Ebra calling Albert about a possible franchise expansion and ending with “As you wish,” a nod to Reiner’s 1987 film The Princess Bride.
