Excellent as l loved the first series.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

The Walking Dead has been renewed for a 9th season. No surprise really and I don't understand why they don't renew it for a 10th while they are at it so everyone knows what they are doing.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

9-1-1 has been renewed for Season 2 (FOX).

Grey’s Anatomy has been renewed for Seasons 15 & 16 (ABC).


The Shannara Chronicles has been cancelled (Paramount/Spike).

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

awesome, considering how long this has been going on for the level of consistency in quality is excellent.

pants, I had a funny feeling that was going to happen because they go through season 2 pretty pronto.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

UPDATE:Producer Sonar Entertainment is shopping The Shannara Chronicles elsewhere.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

great, MTV can't have been the best platform for it.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

It moved from MTV after Season 1 (to Spike, now known as Paramount Network).

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

NBC has renewed Blindspot for Season 4.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

For those interested, C4 has renewed its rebooted Crystal Maze for a 3rd season.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Sky Atlantic has cancelled Fortitude, chosing not to renew it for a 4th season.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Suits has been renewed for Season 8 - minus Meghan of course.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Good news as it's a great program.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Just saw that they'll be no Mike either. It'll be interesting to see where they go. I'm kinda glad though cause there's not much left you can do with him I think.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Sherlock has been cancelled by the BBC, at least for the foreseeable future.

A Series of Unfortunate Events has been cancelled by Netflix after 3 seasons.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Disappointing about Sherlock as that is a fantastic series.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Cancelled is a strong word for both of them. They'll do Sherlock when everyone is available for it. With A Series of Unfortunate Events wasn't it always known it would only be 3/4 seasons from the get go?

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

To me neither are really cancelled. Sherlock has always been made whenever the cast are available and the latter only had so much source material to cover. So its really ending where it needs to.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I'm not interested in semantics.


CBS has renewed MacGyver for Season 3

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

This season of Once Upon a Time will be its final.

http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/mor...with-season-7/

Makes sense really, this season hasn't really worked as well as they hoped.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

No surprise there after the loss of so many charecters and the end of season 6. This season just hasnt been very good, basically just a repeat of the same premise really (curse traps them in our realm) but really not as good (far too long with very little magic).

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Not something I watch, but Sky have renewed Jamestown for a 3rd season.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

FOX has renewed Family Guy for Season 17.

Dave have renewed Red Dwarf for Series 13.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

you'll be pleased to hear that Midnight, Texas has been renewed for a second season

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Yeah, for some reason I actually noted that in the snippets thread ;

https://www.cableforum.uk/board/show...0#post35936880

Which is probably why you missed it. :)

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I knew I had read it somewhere :) I scrolled back a couple of pages in this thread and couldn't see it so I thought I had imagined it.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Syfy have renewed The Magicians for Season 4. :)

---------- Post added at 23:59 ---------- Previous post was at 23:56 ----------

We should be getting a lot more renewals and cancellations coming soon.

The networks are actually behind last year, when many had been announced in Feb.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Travelers has been renewed for Season 3. :D

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

that is really strange, I woke up thinking about that this morning. I didn't realise it hadn't been renewed yet, I was already looking forward to the next season.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Black Mirror has been renewed (for Season 5) by Netflix.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Fox have renewed Lucifer for season 4.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Black Lightning has been renewed for Season 2 by CW.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

TNT has cancelled The Librarians.

:cry:


The Series creator Dean Devlin broke the news tonight, saying he has started to shop around other networks.

However, based on the past experience of other shows, that rarely comes to anything. :(

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Shame really as it's quite enjoyable.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

:rolleyes: of course it has. AoS can take its slot.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Both shows are on different networks and owned by different companies. One wouldn't be cancelled cause of the other.

Shame about The Librarians, it's an excellent show. Hopefully they manage to get a final season some how or a TV movie to end things on, after all the show started as movies.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Shame really as it was a very good show that provided pure entertainment.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Yes, Librarians basically took over from Warehouse 13, both were a very similar premise.

Both were pure "silly" entertainment, much like Eureka as well.
I cant think of anything left now thats similarly just daft sci-fi/fantasy entertainment.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Neither can I. It makes me wonder what the future holds.

I'm pretty much like General Maximus, I love "True SciFi", to me that is in space and will be the future in the main.

Admittedly there is also SciFi based on this planet but it always involes something from the future, an example would be Continuum where a gang were sent back in time.

Most SciFi is a projection of what could happen or what is being developed with technology we have now.

SciFan (fantasy) can be viewed either as escapism or entertainment. Librarians, The Magicians and even anything by Terry Pratchett (IMHO) covers both escapism and (swear filter) good entertainment!

I think it was 5 years ago now I was talking to Chris Judge (Stargate) and he was pitching to a Canadian channel (Space or Science?) a SciFi series of a 1 hour episode and than afterwards a 30min discussion of the present or (being developed) future science which the episode was based on.

My total recollection is a bit faded as Chris and I drank the hotel in Newcastle dry of Scotch in one night!

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

The Magicians is good fantasy, and I enjoy it - but its very dark, not exactly light entertainment.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Entertainment Light/Dark or in the middle is entertainment. Only those who want to be entertained by the content would continue to watch it.

This is why I replied earlier that there is a difference between SciFi and SciFan, they are 2 entirely different things and should not be confused as some people do.

Added to that you just have a Fantasy genre as well.

Magicians I would put in the Fantasy genre personally thereby being good escapism.

There's nothing wrong with that either, I love escaping into the world of the Magicians, The Librarians or Terry Pratchett etc.

We all need relaxation now and again.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Gutted. It was a great fun show.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Yes, indeed. ;)

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Gotham has been renewed for Season 5.

Britannia renewed for Season 2.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Legends of Tomorrow has been renewed for Season 4 by CW.

According to reports, it will again see Matt Ryan reprise his role as Constantine.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Every report I've seen says Matt Ryan will become a series regular IF LOTM is renewed.

As 1 hour ago.

http://ew.com/tv/2018/03/19/legends-...tainmentweekly

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Another report of Constantine being full time.

http://deadline.com/2018/03/matt-rya...ne-1202345972/

Good news imo. Wonder if we'll get Rip back or if he'll stay recurring.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Yep, it does seem thats going to happen.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Still as popular as ever, Supernatural has been renewed for Season 14.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

The CW has not as yet announced any renewals/cancellations.
LOT is expected to be renewed though.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

If you want to believe otherwise, thats up to you.
But dont start being argumentative in this thread.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I'm sorry Paul I wasn't intending to come across as argumentative. If as you say TheCW has renewed it then just post the link.

The information I have to date is that TheCW have not as yet made any renewal/cancellation announcements.

I'm more than willing to be wrong and will apologise most profusely when you post the link.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/d...eries-regular/

It may not be officially confirmed but it makes sense. You can't promote somebody to a series regular if there isn't going to be another season.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I fully agree but don't see where I was being argumentative. We all know it's 99% guaranteed it will be renewed but I get called argumentative because it hasn't been officially confirmed.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Don't worry about it, I have done it to Paul before and he has done it to me where we catch each other out on renewals and cancellations because we use different sites as sources of information.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

https://renewcanceltv.com/legends-of...n-4-by-the-cw/

For the record, this site has inside contacts, and has never been wrong in the 5+ years I have been using it.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

good to know but it is fascinating how people choose to communicate information. They may be factually accurate but it is annoyingly vague. I suppose if you were non the wiser it wouldn't matter but if it was a series I really enjoyed I would want to know.

The first one gives the impression he is making a guest appearance and will be in an episode or two whereas the second makes it sound you he'll be in pretty much every episode.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Not only that but the site Paul has linked to states "The CW has ‘secretly’ renewed".

Why the secrecy? Why not just announce it? We all know it was 99% likely to be renewed.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

They are worried about the backlash and furior of LoT being renewed when AoS is cancelled. It is a joke (if it happens).

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

AoS has been reported as being on the cusp of cancellation.

It's also been muted that the season finale is being written and produced as a possible series finale.

We can only wait and see. Of the 2 I'd prefer more AoS.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Yup, and last time i checked AoS was pasting LoT where the ratings are concerned which is why it is annoying me so much. Unfortunately i dont think the ratings have got anything to do with it and it us all to do with franchise strategy. AoS will be cancelled to round off the closure of the current MCU and LoT will be renewed to maintain and promote the DC universe.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Sadly I think you may be correct.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I dont know what you mean by "pasting", but you cannot just compare numbers directly as they are on different networks.

AoS is on ABC, which gets higher actual numbers of viewers than CW anyway.

The worst ABC shows do better in simple numbers terms than the best CW shows. (for example, Inhumans had more viewers than the Flash gets).

LoT's figures are steady this season, and its doing better than Arrow.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

You can't really compare those viewing figures as ABC is a much bigger channel with a far higher regular viewer base.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Seal Team has been renewed for Season 2 (CBS).

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

good, I was hoping it wasn't going to be cancelled. It isn't a great series but it is definitely good and above average and I enjoy watching it every week.

SWAT has been renewed for a second season which surprises me. I gave up on it after 3 episodes.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

https://www.cableforum.uk/board/show...8#post35930708 :)

I tried both Swat and Seal Time, but neither interested me enough to get past ep 1.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Seal Team gets better once they get into the military side of things and the action. They end up getting deployed to Afghanistan on a 9 month rotation and go ops etc.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Supergirl has joined the CW renewed list, for Season 4.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Krypton has been renewed for Season 2 by Syfy.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

lol, only 2 eps have aired but I suppose it was a given. I have only watch ep 1 so far, it was good and I enjoyed it but it definitely felt too fast paced for me and I would gladly have seen it was two episodes. We went from leaving the ice planet, flying across space, landing and being back inside their house in 3 seconds (literally). I think it is going to be good though, I like the look and feel to it and I think it is going to be more gritty and have less cheese than the movies.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

The CW has now announced its renewals of ;

Arrow (Season 7)
The Flash (Season 5)
Legends of Tomorrow (Season 4)
Supergirl (Season 4)
Black Lightning (Season 2)
Supernatural (Season 14)
Riverdale (Season 3)
Dynasty (Season 2)
Jane the Virgin (Season 4) **
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (Season 4) **

** Indicates it will be the shows final season

All for the 2018-19 season.

No announcements yet for The 100 and iZombie, these are expected in the next few weeks.

iZombie has only recently started airing its current season, and The 100 is yet to air this season.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Starz have picked up Ash vs. Evil Dead for Season 4.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Excellent news.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

They are bringing back Dark Angel with Jessica Alba?

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

CW renewals were expected but you have to wonder how much longer they will prop Arrow up. In my opinion Legends has grown into the best show of the bunch. Doubt anyone could have predicted that after a dire first season. AFAIK Flash is their priority show but Legends is taking over pretty fast.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I have to say, I pretty much agree, LoT and Supergirl are the best of the bunch now.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Can never get enough of Supernatural.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Siren has been renewed for Season 2.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

good, although it has been 2 eps I am appreciating a good serious scifi story without what seems to the mandatory comedy moments/cheesy lines and gay relationships these days.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Jessica Jones has been renewed for Season 3.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

l have really enjoyed what l have seen so far.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I am the odd one out here because I seem to feel the complete opposite of the general fan base. Out of the four series, Jessica Jones is the worst for me and sometimes a snooze fest and Iron Fist is the best, but I know the general consensus is the other way round.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I don't think so.

I could never get into Jessica Jones albeit I only gave it 4 episodes. If a series doesn't get me after that I tend to just leave it.

I did create a custom DVD cover for it though. (a hobby I have).

Here it is compressed due to file size limitations here but still looking good!

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Nicely done, i like the idea of doing that if i backed everything up to bluray but these days it is easier and cheaper to keep everything on hdd and nas. When i was at uni i spent a lot of time backing up sg1 and voyager on cd (pre-dvd). 350mb eps at 2 eps per disc = a lot of discs. TDK did 4 or 5 different colours of discs so i colour coded the seasons and had 2 huge revolving cd racks for everything :)

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

General, the days of DVD and Blu-Ray are passing us by. Everything in the future and to a great extent eve now will be on local HDD or Cloud storage.

That said video compression has come on leaps and bounds. More episodes on a disc it you want a physical back-up.

2x 350Mb eps per disc goes back to the SVCD days not 4.5Gb or 9Gb single or dual layer DVD's or even the larger capacity of Blu-Ray discs of today.

I still enjoy doing them occasionally as I find it relaxing. I also Admin a site for them, totally free just requires registration. http://uncovered.name .

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

NCIS has been renewed for Season 16.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Poor decision imo by the network. Certainly since at least Season 12 the show has been a poor shadow of it's former self. Time to put it out of its misery imo now.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/n...newed-2018-19/

Although the ratings are going down it is still hugely popular. I don't understand though how they say it has been the No. 1 show for the last 8 years or so. I thought it was a toss up between Walking Dead and Game of Thrones?

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

NBC have cancelled Taken.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I am surprised it got a second season

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I didn't know Walking Dead and and Game of Thrones were CBS productions. See what I did there?

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

So was everyone else, I think they have "Taken" it off the air now as well.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I feel stupid. Now that you have pointed it out I have gone back and read the article and it makes sense. When I have read stuff like that in the past it has always been in the general context of overall No1, No2 etc so I think my brain picked out the bits it wanted to see. It goes back to a conversation I was having with Paul a couple of weeks ago about AoS being cancelled and LoT being renewed. Just because something is "No1" on one network doesn't necessarily mean it is doing well compared to other series on other networks unless you compared viewing figures. I would love to know what the international viewing figures for GoT are when you consider it is aired in real time. I would like to think it is around 100 million.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Sorry about that General but I felt the need to highlight context.

I'm sure there is a site out there that gives global viewing figures even though that can be skewed somewhat.

e.g.
Is it live viewing?
Does it included streaming?
Are recordings watched later included?
etc.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

CBS has renewed Hawaii Five-0 along with a few others, including ;

Blue Bloods, Madam Secretary, MacGyver, NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

A few in there l like although how many more series they do of that lot must be open to question as there is always a end point for these series and that can't be far way.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I think everything should be included so they get a true picture of who is watching it. As an example, when GoT is on it is live at something like 2am on Sky Atlantic, but people who can't stay up will Sky+ it to watch later and I know it is also downloadable on catchup same day and probably available on the streaming platforms like SkyGo for people to watch on their phone and tablets etc. I would want all of that taken into account because at the end of day, regardless of how it is viewed, they are still real people watching the episode on a platform.
