Cable Forum - General TV Show Snippets & General Information

While that would not surprise me (its CW after all) I cannot find any official confirmation of this ?

Interestingly, it did not take a break like all the other CW shows, which makes you wonder if they dont care much about it.

Possibly not but possible season 2. The CW doesn't rely on ratings as heavily as other networks do.

I must be losing it. I distinctly remember posting it just before Christmas. There was The 4400 and another series which were renewed at the same time, I mentioned both and remarked how The 4400 was getting an early renewal just after 2 or 3 eps had aired but it wasn't a surprise considering they are pushing the PC agenda. I can't find the post and I can't find the flipping article now either.

The Terminal List has a new addendum. Amazon has set a July 1 premiere date on Prime Video for all eight episodes of the new conspiracy-thriller series starring Chris Pratt.

Based on Jack Carr’s bestseller and counting Antoine Fuqua among its executive producers, The Terminal List follows James Reece (Pratt) after his entire platoon of Navy SEALs is ambushed during a high-stakes covert mission. He returns home to his family with conflicting memories of the event and questions about his culpability. But as new evidence comes to light, Reece discovers dark forces working against him, endangering not only his life, but the lives of those he loves.

A new version of Babylon 5 is in development at the CW.

J. Michael Straczynski will write and executive produce a ”from-the-ground-up“ new version of ’90s-era science fiction series

Quote:

Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski isn’t giving up hope on a Babylon 5 reboot at The CW, even though the project has been pushed back to the next development season.
The new version has been described as a “from-the-ground-up reboot” of the critically acclaimed 1990s series by Warner Bros. Television. The new version would follow John Sheridan, an Earthforce officer with a mysterious background,, who is assigned to Babylon 5, a five-mile-long space station in neutral space.
Stracynski updated the series status on his Patreon on the situation, talking about the series concept not being picked up. “99.999% of the time, that’s the end of the road for the project.”
However, CW CEO Mark Pedowitz is not ready to throw dirt on it. .
“I should mention that Mark is a great guy and a long-time fan of B5. He worked for Warners when the show was first airing,” Straczynski wrote. “Calling the [reboot] pilot ‘a damned fine script,’ he said he was taking the highly unusual step of rolling the project and the pilot script into next year, keeping B5 in active development while the dust settles on the [prospective] sale of the CW.”

“Here’s the bottom line: Yesterday, Babylon 5 was in active development at the CW and Warner Bros. for fall 2022. Today, Babylon 5 is in active development at the CW and Warner Bros. for fall 2023,” he wrote. “That is the only difference.”

Can't say I am upset about it. I am very 50/50 about this atm.

Well, it could go either way, but I'm curious what story they would tell, since we know how the original turned out.

What would really do it for my realism factor and have me doing cartwheels is if they did the whole thing with a digitally de-aged Bruce Boxleitner. I know it is too much to ask though.

Metropolis is coming soon to Apple TV+. The streaming service has ordered a new sci-fi series which is based on the 1927 German expressionist film by Fritz Lang and the 1925 sci-fi novel by Thea Von Harbou. Set in a futuristic urban dystopia, the story follows the work of Freder, the wealthy son of the city master, and Maria, a champion to the workers. They strive to overcome the gulf separating the classes in their city and to bring the workers together with city master Joh Fredersen.

The Rookie spin off in the works.

Quote:

Kat Foster and Felix Solis will star opposite Niecy Nash in ABC’s proposed spinoff from The Rookie. The duo will guest star in a two-episode arc in the current fourth season of The Rookie, which will serve as a backdoor pilot for the potential spinoff of the series starring Nathan Fillion.

The yet-untitled project will expand beyond the current Los Angeles Police Department and revolve around the FBI. The potential new series comes from The Rookie creator/executive producer Alexi Hawley, executive producers Terence Paul Winter and Mark Gordon and studios eOne and ABC Signature.

The planted spinoff, co-created and written by Hawley and Winter, follows the premise of The Rookie, which stars Fillion as John Nolan, the oldest rookie in the LAPD.

I think he is going to be fantastic. I think this series is going to put Discovery to shame and prove how they have got it so wrong over the last 4/5 years.
