I think most BBC productions (Doctor Who included) are made with selling to other countries in mind, but that's how TV is made nowadays. That said, I think Doctor Who is quintessentially British and I actually think that is part of the reason it sells well. They could Americanise it, by making the doctor an incredibly sexy, sassy man or woman who kicks ass, but I think they would miss the point of the series. Bit like the US remake of Red Dwarf where (IIRC) they made everyone except Kryten (Who was still played by Robert Llewelyn) incredibly sexy, sassy and heroic instead of the bums and misfits the characters in the UK series are.

Don't forget they tried to Americanise Doctor Who in 1996 and look how that turned out lol.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

They did.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Back to the topic.

Arrow has been renewed for Season 8.
Supergirl has been renewed for Season 5.

No news on the other CW shows yet, but its almost certain that all of them will be renewed.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

They will all be renewed. After the Elseworlds crossover this week they confirmed next year's as being Crisis on Infinite Earth for next year.

That will involve every show.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I did not mean just the Arrowverse shows, but also Black Lightning, Supernatural, Legacies & Charmed as well. :)

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

The Flash has now been renewed for Season 6.

Also, The Rookie has been renewed for a second season by ABC.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Excellent news about The Rookie - really enjoyable so far; funny and gritty - reminds me of the "Southland" cop series.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Elementary has been cancelled.

The show was unexpecedly given a 7th season, which has now been confirmed as its last.
The final season is due to be aired in late spring / early summer 2019, and comprises of 13 episodes.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Nor really surprised as the last series was rather disappointing.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has been renewed for a 3rd & 4th season. Netflix must like the viewing figures from just one season aired.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

That's good news.

I wonder if they will end up filming them back to back like they did with seasons 1 & 2.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I would think so as they've ordered 16 episodes to split into 2x8 episode seasons.

Re: Renewals & Cancellations
 

I just popped in to post this as well.

I'm happy, Ive enjoyed Season 1, and the xmas special.
