Andy Serkis & Fabrik Entertainment Developing Medical Drama Series Inspired By Oliver Sacks
In the series, Sacks' experiences will provide an entry point for the audience to explore the deeply personal and sometimes contentious relationships between doctors and patients. Viewers will discern the poignant reality that these patients' disorders are intimately connected to everything that makes up who they are — an amalgamation of all of their hopes, joys, fears, and traumas.

The show will feature unique cinematic imagery, allowing audiences to enter the highly subjective points of view of characters to glimpse a world that at times can hardly seem imaginable. Through a nuanced and dazzling exploration of the human mind, this adaptation intends to elevate itself far beyond typical medical dramas.
All3Media Backs Drama Label Witchery Pictures, Preps Musical Rom-Com
The duo are already in development with their first scripted series; a rom-com musical set in 1990s Dublin. The show will feature original music from Northern Irish/Scottish rock band Snow Patrol, best known for hit single Chasing Cars, and is written by rising writer Aoife Crehan, whose comedy drama The Last Right made the 2016 Brit List, the UK equivalent of the Black List.
'Twilight' Author Stephenie Meyer's 'The Chemist' To Be Adapted As TV Series By Tomorrow Studios
The Chemist, published by Little Brown and Company in 2016, follows the gripping tale of a woman who was one of the darkest secrets of a U.S. government agency so clandestine it didn't even have a name. And when they decided she was a liability, they came for her without warning. When her former handler offers her a way out, she realizes it's her only chance to erase the giant target on her back but it means taking one last job for her ex-employers. To her horror, the information she acquires only makes her situation more dangerous.

Wow Patrick J Adams is leaving too? I knew his contract was ending but I thought he'd renew and continue even without Meghan Markle. I suppose this sets it up nicely for an actually good sendoff to their characters though.

Suits is well past it's prime at this point. I'm not really sure what was keeping the show alive other than the Mike-Harvey relationship. And with this change it's going to push more towards being just another lawyer procedural.

3 from CBS, 3 from Warner. Wonder how this will affect certain low rated CBS produced shows, I think Valor is done for at least (thankfully).

Honestly, the show is at a good point for Harvey. He's going through the transition to running the firm and not being able to just be a cocky asshole ALL the time any more. Louis's story is a little weird right now, but he's been developing too.

Is the Roswell reboot a sequel to the original?
I've heard rebootquel. By that I mean, the original series only covered like the first book or something like that, and this new series will be starting from book 2 on. But all of the cast is new and you won't necessarily have to have seen the first show to get what's going on. Something like that.

Aside from Roswell, none of those sound like CW shows.

Why is CBS so bad at understanding the CW?

They keep sending CBS rejects and very shocked when they all get canceled.

I like how "The End of the World As We Know It" sounds. Can't wait for people with blue tattoos to pretend to be aliens.

You trying to say the CW isn't good at creating aliens?

I liked Star-Crossed a good bit. Solid genre TV. Reminiscent of Caprica but thought SC was better.

Anyway, TEWAWK as it shall henceforth be known comes from a slew of VM/iZombie producers, so despite the premise sounding kinda blah to me, I expect I will enjoy it quite a bit.

Interesting article but I don't think we're quite there. Yes FX, FXX and SyFy are using it (although I found out in that article that an upcoming USA Network show says it which I didn't know).

As for the other basic cable networks including TNT, TBS, Lifetime, Freeform, etc. they still have a hard rule against using that word in ANY context. Even Comedy Central refuses to use it and bleeps it out of movies.

Six goddamn years too late for Suits.

Suits and Mr Robot already have. Probably Damnation too, but that show put me to sleep.
