TV is in its nepo baby era.

The summer’s hottest shows are filled with celebrity offspring, including the children of Cindy Crawford, Richard Gere, Bryan Cranston and more.

The trend — which saw both Patrick Schwarzenegger and Maya Hawke light up the screens previously with “The White Lotus” and “Stranger Things” — shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon.

While Hawke, the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, and Schwarzenegger, the son of Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, will be back on our screens in the future with adaptions of “The God of the Woods” and “Beach Read,” respectively, we are running down all famed nepo babies currently gracing our screens.

“Breaking Bad” star Bryan Cranston and actress Robin Dearden’s daughter Taylor plays the fan-favorite Dr. Melissa “Mel” King on the awards-sweeping medical drama “The Pitt.”

In June 2025, Cranston, 70, told the Associated Press, “There is nothing that’s more gratifying than when your kid receives praise.”

He added that he and his wife, “are just over the moon with her work on [‘The Pitt’].” 

In June, he told People that the 33-year-old is “further along in her ability than I ever was at her age.”

In a June 2026 interview, Richard, 76, told People he was proud of Homer, 26, and that he was “passing the torch.”

“He really kind of preternaturally knows what he’s doing. But he’s also handling it really well.” 

The “Pretty Woman” actor added, “He’s a good kid. He’s a really good young man who kind of gets it, and this is not an easy job.” 

Before his current role, he had a small part on “Euphoria” Season 3, where he had an outlandish sex scene with Sydney Sweeney.

Kaia Gerber, the daughter of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, also stars in “The Shards.”

Kaia, 24, said working alongside Homer in the show was “such a small world,” given her mother and his father were married in real life from 1991 to 1995 before they were born.

In an October 2021 appearance on the podcast “Tell Me with Ellen Pompeo,” Crawford, 60, said about Gerber’s budding acting career, “I’m proud of her because I guess in that way she is more confident than I was at that age.”

In an April 2025 interview, David, 65, told The Post, “Advice is not really something that parents should try to give their kids. [West] is on her own way, she’s extremely talented and she’s charting her own path.” 

He added about West, “It’s her life, it is her career, and she’s gonna make it what it is, and she is gonna be fantastic.”
