Awesome, about to watch an Episode tonight on CinemaHD App.

---------- Post added at 18:55 ---------- Previous post was at 18:55 ----------

It really is very good.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I'm currently watching season 1 atm and I'm enjoying it. I wish I watched it from the start.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

That's good news.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

The Blacklist has been renewed for Season 8.

---------- Post added at 00:38 ---------- Previous post was at 00:19 ----------

Zoeys Extraordinary Playlist has been cancelled.

---------- Post added at 00:41 ---------- Previous post was at 00:38 ----------

Seal Team apparently renewed for Season 4.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Pleased about The Blacklist being renewed,don`t watch the others so not bothered either way about them.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Seal Team is a fantastic series and every episode delivers, I love it.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I don't watch them but this is great news for long running successful series and I wish they would do bulk renewals for other series like so everyone knows what they are doing. NBS has renewed the following series for three seasons each:

Law and Order: SVU for seasons 22, 23 and 24
Chicago Med for seasons 6, 7 and 8
Chicago PD for seasons 8, 9 and 10
Chicago Fire for seasons 9, 10 and 11

The only series I know of getting that sort of treatment recently is Picard and many many years ago SG1. I never understood why didn't do it with GoT and why they don't do it with The Expanse. I think The Expanse is based on a 7 season (maybe 9) story arc.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I dont watch any of them either.

Currently hoping Hawaii 5-0 and Magnum get renewed.
(For three seasons each would be great, but very unlikely).

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Hawaii 5-0 has been cancelled. I hate to be the bearer of bad news.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Yeah, I saw that not long after posting. :(

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Thats very disappointing.:td:

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

It is a guilty pleasure of a show and lucky to have survived this long to be fair.
At least they can tie it up nicely.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

It's sad when a show ends, but they can't keep going forever. The good thing with 5-0 is that it always has felt like the camera was an observer dropping in on the character's lives, and while it does have ongoing plotlines, you don't need to have deep knowledge of them to enjoy the show. So, I think with good writing (and the writing in the last couple of seasons has been very good), I think they can end it well. It appears that the writers and producers were told a long time ago, because this last season has wrapped up a few ongoing storylines, and a few episodes have felt like they are getting the characters into a good places to end their own individual stories. Still, it lasted 10 years, with 20-24 episodes a year in a landscape where a lot of high budget action TV shows have lasted two or three seasons, sometimes with 10 episodes a season.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

kudos to them and it reminds me of the good old days of Buffy, Star Trek and Stargate. 10 years is a good run and I love "full" seasons of 20-24 episodes. With GoT, Expanse and now Picard, it feels like you are just getting into it and then it is over.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Sometimes 24 episodes can be too long though. Lots of pointless filler episodes.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

There have been very few of these in 5-0, I cant think of any off-hand.

---------- Post added at 18:16 ---------- Previous post was at 18:12 ----------

Just looking at its viewing figures, they have kept pretty steady at around 10 - 11 million for the entire 10 years, not many shows have managed that.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Sometimes. I think a lot of the episodes to do with military service are filler, but they are only a handful out of 240 episodes..

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Lucifer is close to a 6th season, the show runners have signed up, its down to whether they can sign Tom Ellis up for it. The feeling is positive, he seems to like his role, and even did the cameo in CW's Crisis arc.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

The Magicians has been cancelled by SyFy :(

S.W.A.T has apparently been renewed by CBS.

---------- Post added at 20:23 ---------- Previous post was at 20:19 ----------

There is barely anything left on SyFy, with The Magicians, Krypton, Van Helsing & Killjoys all killed off. All that's left is Wynonna Earp.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

And who worries about SYFY?

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

It is a shame that they don't aspire to set the gold standard and want to be the proud home of the best science fiction.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Well considering SYFY cannot even spell the gernre correctly (SciFi/Fan) I fail to see how they could even seek to be "the gold standard and want to be the proud home of the best science fiction".

They are assholes!

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

:td:

Syfy has produced a lot of good shows.

These are just some Ive watched over the years ;

12 Monkeys (2015–18)
Alphas (2011–12)
Being Human (2011–14)
Caprica (2010–11)
Continuum (2013–15)
Dark Matter (2015–17)
Defiance (2013–15)
Dominion (2014–15)
Haven (2010–15)
Killjoys (2015–19)
Krypton (2018–19)
Lost Girl (2012–16)
Primeval: New World (2013)
The Expanse (2015–18)

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

You do realise only one show on that list was a SYFY production. All the rest were aquisitions.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I loved Defiance, 12 Monkeys and Continuum; proper quality scifi.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

The Magicians has been cancelled by SYFY as we know but...

Seems like it will get a resonable finale. Exec Prod Sera Gamble “We had the sense going into this season that Syfy… was kind of hitting the point of ‘The cup is full and there’s no more room,’” and as such a fitting ending was crafted."

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Great, it takes away the bitterness when they at least know it is coming and finish it off properly. I say this every year but i hate it when series get cancelled out of the blue when the current season has been filmed and left ooen ended or on a cliffhanger and there is no closure. Even though big bang is a comedy and you wouldnt care too much about "the story", they knew it was ending and i thought what they did for the characters was fantastic.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

You're just nit picking. They were all basically financed by SyFy, and would not have existed without them, hence why (for example) The Expanse had to be picked up by Amazon after SyFy cancelled it (Same for the currently surviving Wynonna Earp). Its also the same for most other network shows, the networks "acquire" them from external companies, they dont directly make them.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

The Rook as finally learned its fate - Starz has cancelled it.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Lost in Space has been renewed for a third and final.season. it is a shame because i feel like we have barely scratched the surface story wise for the characters and there is so much more to tell.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Sad but not unexpected, Netflix often kills shows after 3 seasons.

Its not entirely clear why but speculation is that they sign the stars on initial 3 year contracts, so renewing a show past that requires new contracts, which generally costs more, but doesnt bring in enough new customers to cover those extra costs. (Yes, I did read that the 3 year 'rule' is denied as the reason in this case, but I take that with a large dose of salt).

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Impulse has been cancelled.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

V Wars has been cancelled (Netflix).

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Not a surprise. I havent watched it but apparently it was worse than terrible.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

The previews did nothing for me, so I also skipped it.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Locke & Key renewed for Season 2.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Seal Team renewed for season 4.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Great news, i love that series, it just keeps getting better and better. They go all out on the action/combat scenes and they hit 10/10 for my realism factor :)

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Also renewed for next season;

FBI
FBI: Most Wanted
MacGyver
Magnum P.I.
NCIS
NCIS: Los Angeles
NCIS: New Orleans
S.W.A.T.

---------- Post added at 01:32 ---------- Previous post was at 00:43 ----------

The Boys has also [reportedly] been renewed for Season 3, ahead of Season 2's release in the summer.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Project Blue Book and Knightfall have been cancelled

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

l cannot say Knightfall rocked my boat..

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I saw that today :(
Dont care about Knightfall, but I did like Project Blue Book.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Upload has been renewed for a second season. I have seen it mentioned a couple of times over the last week

Clarice, a Silence of the Lambs sequel is in development and due out for the 2020/2010 fall tv season

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Upload has a load of potential. It is by Greg Daniels who did The Office US.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

not for me. When I saw it mentioned I looked up the trailer because I hadn't heard of it. The premise is good from a scifi point of view but the fact that it is a comedy spoils it for me. When they try to brush of potential serious moments with comedy it kills my realism factor. I would rather see how the people react to and deal with these situations and circumstances for the first time rather than trying to make a joke out of them.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

That will go down well with a nice chianti and some fava beans.;)

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

CBS are also doing a remake of The Equalizer.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I am not too sure about that, I can't see kicking ass like Denzel.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

It will have to go some to match the original series with Edward Woodward in as that was one of the best crime series from the 80's imo.

---------- Post added at 15:16 ---------- Previous post was at 15:15 ----------

Edward was better although Denzel was pretty good.:)

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

We'll be getting news of more renewals/new series over the next couple of days but not as much as usual as some networks have delayed annoncements.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Be interesting to see how that goes. The original was so unmissable. Did I read that Denzil Washington was playing the lead role?

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Sadly not, they have turned the main character into a woman, played by Queen Latifah. :dozey:

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Oh god no please! Women are taking over the world! Think I'll give this one a miss if it ever airs over here.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

It does seem another pointless change for the sake of it, I dont think I will bother with it.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Denzel Washington did the films. I am too young to have watched the "old" series :) I agree with Paul though, instead of trying to do a proper job they are going with PC and casting a black actress (either that or lgbt) and when the series gets cancelled it will be our fault as the audience.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Yeah I'm sick of all this political correctness too. I love the remake of Magnum PI but in my eyes the woman playing Higgins is an imposter!

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Not quite the same, she is not the title character.
I never saw the original Magnum, so I cannot compare.
I do love the current programme though.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Well yes I also love the current Magnum and I'm old enough to remember the original well but the point I was trying to make is how this political correctness is crazy with switching a male character from male to female. I also remember the dteadful remakes of Kojak and Ironside where the main charactor was switched from a white guy to a black guy.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Being of a older vintage l remember it well and l thought it was very good as Magnum and Higgins worked well off each other.

Praise due where it is due as the new Magnum is just as good as the original series.

---------- Post added at 05:30 ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 ----------

Telly Savalas and Raymond Burr were always going to be a hard act to follow though but l certainly agree with the points you have made.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

To be clear, I was perfectly old enough to watch the original (late teens) - it just didnt interest me at the time. :)

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Agreed, I found it uninteresting. At the risk of being pilloried I never rated Tom Selleck as other than a middle of the road actor.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Denzel Washington has done a good job with the films. Neither film are classics of the genre, but both are entertaining.

Regarding Magnum, I quite enjoyed the original. I like the new one. Tom Selleck was charming and entertaining as the original Magnum, and Jay Hernandez is similarly charming and entertaining as the new Magnum. I don't feel that the new Higgins is just an attempt to be PC. I think they've created a new character and given her the name, and job, of the original Higgins.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

The Purge and Treadstone have been cancelled

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Aww, I liked Treadstone. :(

The final episodes of Supernatural are expected to air in the autumn.
Only two remain to be filmed, the others just need post production work.

The CW is planning crossover between Batwoman and its new Superman & Lois, in 2021.
Might be good, if the new series is any good, and anyone is still watching Batwoman by then.

Doom Patrol returns for Season 2 on June 25th.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Cops has been cancelled after 32 seasons due to George Floyd protests. I don't watch it like but WTF?!?!?! This is getting pathetic.

https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a...-tv-show-axed/

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I loved Cops and watched it religiously. I hope it gets picked up by another network.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Nothing in that article states the cancellation was due to the protests - they very carefully worded it "Following" does not mean "due to"...

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

They could of mentioned anything to do with costs or viewers but instead it mentioned protests. So they tried to say it without actually saying it.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

It's pathetic. I know there is a correlation between race and arrests/prison population but it has deeper routers such as social inequality rather than direct racism. I will admit that the majority of people you see on Cops are black but that isn't because the police are going out of their way to arrest black people. They will pull over a car because it ran through a red light, flagged for no insurance, or a headlight isn't working or something and then when they pull it over they will either smell cannabis in the car, see a gun or the driver will have an outstanding warrant or something. You see some people pull the race card and say "you are doing this just because I am black" and I think "well if you fixed that headlight/paid your insurance/bothered to have a driving license/didn't run the red light...........(i.e. obeyed the law) then you wouldn't have been pulled over and you could have gone on your merry way and the police would have been none the wiser. It is just the same over here on Police Interceptors although I would say it is more white chavs but does that mean police are racist against whites? No.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Of course it does, there is absolutely no other reason to word it like that.

(No, I dont watch it, and never have, not interested in "reality" shows).

Vagrant Queen cancelled by SyFy.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Why does that not surprise me.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

It was passable, and certainly watchable.
SyFy seem to be killing off pretty much all their shows.

Once the final Van Helsing is done, there wont be much left I watch on it.
(I think Wynonna Earp will be it, and its still unclear if thats going to get a 5th season).

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Never seen it. Only thing I'm currently watching on Syfy at present is Spides. Expect that will be cancelled next.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

you don't need to, the trailer tells you all you need to know.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Ok 😁

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

CW have cancelled Katy Keene, although they are currently shopping it around for any other takers.
HBO Max are considered a possibility, they have until the end of July before actors contracts expire.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

DC's Stargirl renewed for second season.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Not surprising, they'll renew DC's Poo as long it increases the number of concurrent series on tv. To be fair though, I am liking Stargirl more than Arrow and Supergirl atm. I just hope they stick with the comic and fantasy story line and don't start ramming cultural issues down our throat.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Haave to agree with you there.Surprisingly it wasn't renewed by DC Universe but The CW. Season 2 won't be on DC Universe.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Season 4 will be the last later this year.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Shame, its been a great series. :(

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I'm agreeing with you again I certainly enjoyed it as well.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Never seen it. It is one of those series I thought I might get round to if I ever ran out of things to watch. You might think now would be the perfect time for it given that we are in the summer tv season and the disruption to production coronavirus has caused but it is quite the opposite. I have really enjoyed having the time to watch series I enjoyed in the past and thought I would never have the time to watch again. As the fall tv schedule has been pushed back to January I am hoping to watch 24, Lost and Heroes again.

As a side note as we are talking about witchy stuff, has anyone ever given The Order a go? That is another one on my list of potentials.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Not seen or even heard of it. What channel shows it?

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Netflix

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Hopefully it has a proper ending at least. I've only see first season, but I won't catch up if I know it doesn't have an ending.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Ok that's why not seen, don't sub to Netflix

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Yes I've watched The Order, quite a good series.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Yep, halfway through Season 2 atm, another good series.

You should watch some of these instead of oldies. :)
