Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

l thought the BBC version was rather disappointing personally as they do have a track record of ruining some of these series.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

It is, and afaik, was renewed ages ago, I've had Season 2 on my list for quite a few weeks.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

You sure? (not that I'll be watching it).

Yes, I'm sure.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

The UK television drama series is Frenchified? OK fair enough.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I thought it was in french

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Don't ask me, I'm totally confused now.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I looked at both of the series before they came out. The first one was being made by the BBC which was an instant no no fore me. The second one looked and sounded promising until I noticed it was a Belgian production. I am pretty sure I watched the trailer for it and it was all in french. I might have just been dreaming though:

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I've watched all 8 episodes of Season 1, a while ago now.

Its not all in French, its about 80% English, and you can get subtitles for the french bits.

(Either separate, or hard coded into the video, depending on your source).

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Hanna has been renewed for a third season

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Excellent. Really enjoyed this season.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I am literally just about to start :)

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Fantastic news.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Burden of Truth has been renewed for fourth season

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Haven't even seen the first one. Is it any good?

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Not really, i just watch it for Lana :romance:

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Not one I watch, but Perry Mason has been renewed for Season 2 by HBO.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Been watching it but to be honest not keen so may well give up on it

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I think the BBC one was very accurate to the book. Unfortunately, this means the plot was a little slow, and not a lot happened. I have to admit, I last read the book about 30 years ago, so could have forgotten bit. Don't get me wrong, I remember enjoying the book, and love the various versions of the story I've seen over the years.

The downside is a story that reads well in a book may not translate well to the screen. Slower plots can work well in a book, but will be boring on screen.

I preferred the HBO version. It was essentially an aliens invade the earth story with the War of the Worlds name than a retelling of the story from the book, but it was well written, well acted and exciting.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

The Boys has been renewed for a 3rd season ahead of the season 2 premiere.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Awesome.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

yup, I am hoping that conversations have been had behind the scenes to plan for a 5 or 6 season story arc so something meaningful happens each season and the story progresses. The last thing you want with a series like this is for them to finish the story and get to where they want to at the end of season 4 and then be told the series is renewed for a 5th season and have to come up with something ad hoc.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

According to Joe Mallozzi that's pretty much covered when the show is first pitched.

Dark Matter was pitched with a 5 season story arc.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

And it was really getting going when they cancelled it. I know it would be hard to get going again as they would be starting from scratch but if I won £100m+ on the euro millions I would love to give him the money to finish it off.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

After Life is ending after season 3

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Dont watch it - really not a fan of Ricky Gervais.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Nor me

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

me neither, I know a couple of forum peeps loved it though including Hugh I think.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

No, never seen it - I liked ‘Extras’, but not seen anything of his since.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Maybe it was Chris then :p: Somebody thought it was the bees knees because i had never heard of it until they started going on about it.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

l am afraid that l have to agree with you as well.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Siren has been cancelled by Freeform, no Season 4.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

That's a shame i enjoyed that!

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Ditto, although i was expecting the cancellation tbh because i wasnt sure where they would go with a fourth season. I thought the season 3 finale was a bit OTT.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I binge watch so quickly these days I can't remember how it ended!

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Are you sure you were watching Siren ? :angel:

I was expecting cancellation because its figures were way down. :(

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Warrior Nun has been renewed for a second season.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Sigh :o:

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

What? Never heard of it

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

It is really bad

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Well the title really puts me off!

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

It isnt as cheesey as it sounds and the premise is quite good. The thing which lets it down is the production quality and acting. It is a british produced series made on the cheap and it shines through.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Good. :D

No its not, you may not like it, others do.

IMO, A lot of the stuff you like is really bad.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Such as? Everything i like is top notch :p: I am off to the land if nod now but tomorrow i'll do my top 10 tv series and you can see what you agree with.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

The Shannara Chronicles springs to mind, it was dire. :p:

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

British production? I don't think so. Of the two production companies one is Spanish/Portugese the other is Canadian. Fresco Film Services and Reality Distortion Field. Simon Davis Barry (a Canadian) is also the Creator and writer (along with others in the writing room) Director (along with others) and Showrunner (Continuum, Van Helsing).

British production? Not on your life!

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Cheapo british actors

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Wrong. Looking through the cast list I only saw one British actor, the rest are Spanish, Dutch and Portugese etc.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I'm guessing it's not on any of the regular channel which is why I've not heard of it

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Netflix.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

That explains it. I don't sub to any streaming services.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I know the suspense has been killing you so here we go. There are actually two lists; one with Star Trek and one without. I did the "with" one while I was brushing my teeth last night:

1. Babylon 5
2. Stargate SG1
3. Battlestar Galactica
4. Stargate Atlantis
5. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
6. Game of Thrones
7. Star Trek Voyager
8. Star Trek TNG
9. Star Trek DS9
10. Star Trek Enterprise

or without Star Trek:

1. Babylon 5
2. Stargate SG1
3. Battlestar Galactica
4. Stargate Atlantis
5. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
6. Game of Thrones
7. The Expanse
8. X-Files
9. 24
10. Lost


The first list was easy to do because I could pick my easy favourites, add Star Trek and ignore everything else. Doing a proper list was more difficult and as with the movie list, I wanted to add so much more. I would love to have put Heroes, Friends and Big Bang Theory on there as welll, not to mention Prison Break.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

The Society has been cancelled. Gutted and I don't know why they couldn't have waited till spring or something to start production given how every other tv series and film has been delayed.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Penny Dreadful City of Angels Cancelled by Showtime

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Never even heard of it.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Nor me! Heard of Penny Dreadful but not the second bit

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Paul was referring to The Society. Penny Dreadful City of Angels is a spin off series that hasn't come over here yet. Most likely won't having been cancelled after one season.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

It's on sky go. Will knock it on the head ,just started watching it:erm: Just looked listed as sky Atlantic

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Just looked it up myself. Released on the Showtime streaming network in the US in April, Sky Atlantic here in July.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I really enjoyed it. It is a bit like Under the Dome and it leaves you asking "what would I do in that situation, how would I react and what would my priorities be?" I was looking forward to a second season, especially as it had been renewed. This is the first series I have ever heard of it which has been renewed and then cancelled.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Well I did like Under the Dome.

Since I have very little left to watch atm, I may try the first episode.
However, given its already been cancelled, it will need to be really good for me to bother with more.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Altered Carbon - cancelled.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Pity, it was a solid, watchable series.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

yeah, although I didn't think season 2 was as good as season 1

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

NOS4A2 has been cancelled.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Aww, I thought that was pretty good....:mad:

The Walking Dead is to end after 11 seasons. Final season will be 24 episodes, with 12 airing next year and 12 in 2022. Spinoff starring Daryl and Carol has been confirmed.

Thats one series I have never watched.

Doom Patrol renewed for 3rd season by HBO Max

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Good to Hear. :)

Note, its moving from DC Universe to HBO Max.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Raised by Wolves has been renewed for Season 2.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

cool, haven't seen it yet. Just finishing ploughing through SG1 and then I'll be back with current series.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

The Outpost filming another 13 episodes soon but creator Dean Devlin will not as yet say if it is for a forth season or an extended third. I suspect it's a forth myself.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Well season 3 shutdown due to COVID so it won't be a fourth yet.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

It would have to be a 4th Season, that said, they may need the episodes to extend Season 3.
I guess it depends on what else they are able to film in 2020, they dont have much ready to air atm.

They had already filmed half of Season 3, and it resumed filming back in June.

Season 3 starts airing on Oct 8th (i.e. in about 3 weeks time).

[ Edit: Found the tweet, the replies to it definitely imply its a 4th Season ].


---------- Post added at 04:34 ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 ----------

Harley Quinn has been renewed for a 3rd Season, on HBO Max.

(HBO Max is basically taking on all the old DCU shows, as DCU is being replaced by a comic book streaming service)

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

The Dark Crystal Age of Resistance not really unexpected but now confirmed, no second season.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

arse, I was really hoping they would come up with something to justify a second season or continuation of events after the movie. I would have been happy with anything, I thought it was amazing.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

It may be continuing in comic book form. A twelve-issue prequel comic book was put out by Boom! Studio shortly after the series premiered and that may be the medium pursued to continue the story.

Goodbye Supergirl. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...U65g7l&ampcf=1

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

At least they get to wrap everything up.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

So just to clarify for people who dont want to follow links ;

Supergirl has been cancelled, Season 6 to be its last.


I cant actually say I'll miss it too much.
It was turning into another PC soapbox, SG even lost her trademark skirt.

Hopefully Batcrap will get canned this year as well, it was another soapbox, and not even that entertaining, and now it wont even be about the titular character anymore. WTF.

The Flash is becoming tiresome as well, dragging out storylines.
I do like Black Lightning, but I think Legends of Tomorrow is my favourite now.
Unlike the others it actually entertains each week, and doesnt take itself too seriously.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

exactly, the article refers to a decline in ratings as a reason for it but they are all so stupid that they haven't asked themselves what caused the decline in ratings. The whole point of series like this is that they are supposed to be fanstasiful (probably not a real word :)) and escapism they moved away from a proper superhero series to pursuing liberal messages and wrapping it up in a cape. I can see Discovery following the same path.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Billions has been renewed for a 6th season and Raised by Wolves for a second season

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Teenage Bounty Hunters has been cancelled, a shame as I rather enjoyed it.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Interesting, a 26 episode Season 3.

Season 3 actually launches tomorrow, and given the usual breaks, its 13 current episodes would end around mid February.

Will they have the additional episodes follow straight on I wonder.
They cant have known they would get more, so must have wrapped up the initial season 3 storyline in the first 13.

All a bit odd and confusing, it would seem easier to just call it season 4.
There are probably some legal/contract reasons why they have to keep it as season 3.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Certainly confusing.

Shame, I love Hillary Swank. I was looking forward to watching it but SFX ripper it apart and I knew it would kill my realism factor from the comments they made.

You need to get that "realism factor" looked at ;)

gutted, although I didn't think it looked particularly great from the trailer I did enjoy and would have liked to have seen more.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

NeXt cancelled by Fox after 2 episodes, no season 2.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

There have been 3 episodes so far, they plan to show the rest.

Its been average at best, and hard to see how they could realistically strech it out more.
An all powerful AI, its either going to kill everyone, or have to be killed off pretty quickly (just ask John Connor).

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

that's the problem with series like that. There is one novel story to tell that can only realistically go on for so long within the story/universe and then what do you do after that? I am not surprised though, the series has suffered delay after delay and that was before coronavirus.
